Man, we really wanted to love this place. We really wanted a killer poutine and a craft beer. We…read morewanted a good bar with delicious food and sweet locals. This place has sweet locals in spades. But the food is just ok, and the beer selection is just mass-produced lagers. In all fairness, we didn't try the wings; we just had a bunch of appetizers. They were all fine, but they were most likely premade, frozen and then fried. The good news: the staff were great. Super friendly and helpful. Also, the bar itself was a cool, divey sports bar vibe. Totally ok if you're looking for a local watering hole. Not a great option for killer food.

We went during a Monday afternoon, which was probably the best time since we were seeking a "family…read morefriendly" lunch spot. There were more than a few day drinkers hanging around the bar and patio, but no one seemed inebriated. To be honest, though, I probably wouldn't bring my kids here on a Friday or Saturday night. It was obvious we weren't locals and even more obvious we were there to eat (not drink), but I did not feel at all uncomfortable or out of place. Our server (a blond barkeep) was super duper nice. She was friendly, pleasant, and chatty. She definitely enhanced our visit! And the food was totally awesome! It was our first time having poutine and I'm not sure it was standard (it had shredded cheese instead of cheese curds) but it was delicious! Like really really really good. The burger was juicy and thick. The fries were totally yummy. Kid #1 said the chicken parm sandwich was good, and I thoroughly enjoyed my Philly cheesesteak. The prices were totally reasonable, too! Definitely a bargain considering the decent price for excellent food! For sure we'd visit Cool Hand Luke's again!

Walked in for a late lunch around 3 on a Saturday. Th place was steady but no wait…read more We ordered shortly after arriving. I got the classic burger with cheese and the poutine fries. Burger was well done but the taste was great. One sister ordered the soup/salad combo, the soup of the day was a tomato bisque, she said it was delious. The bacon cheddar burger ordered in our party was excellent served with fried onions instead of raw. All in all i woukd come again. Claudia was great.

We came here for lunch and ordered 2 pints of Coors Light, tea, Yellow Curry Coconut Bowl:…read morechicken, mixed vegetables, coconut rice, peanuts, cilantro, black sesame seeds. Chicken was dry but the rest of the bowl was good and flavorful. We also ordered the Tuna Poke Bowl: marinated ahi tuna, coconut rice, mango, sesame edamame, cucumber, avocado, pickled carrots, sliced radish, sesame seeds, green onion, sriracha aioli. I got it decompressed as I have dietary restrictions. Unfortunately the ingredients didn't seem fresh. Mango mushy, green onions brown, cucumbers dried up, carrots brown. We wanted refills on our beverages, but server was busy. By the time drinks were refilled and another pint was brought, we were done with our food. We still managed to tip the server. We were really hungry and disappointed with their food as we picked this place out of many since their Google reviews seemed high. They offered to remake our meals but we had to go.

Came here after visiting Niagara Falls. Food was decent but underwhelming, service was okay…read more **had a funky smell in the bar area. I'm not sure if it's from the precipitation in the air surrounding the fall, but it smelled a little damp.

Vacationing in Niagara Falls, went to Kelsey's on Clifton Hill…read more The food was amazing, the service even better! We actually ate there two days in a row. Sat at the bar, really attentive bartenders both days. We had Alicia ( not sure of the spelling). Sean, Ashley, and HALEY! Everyone was so helpful, and friendly, moving a padded chair around to help with my old hips, and tuning into our fave football team. The food was really good. We had garlic toast with cheese and bacon, the best Caesar salad I had the whole week we have been here, the bacon cheeseburger with onion straws, ribs, chicken wings, and the yummy fish and chips ( crusted with salt and vinegar chips!). Loved chatting with all the bar staff,and felt very well taken care of. The food was delicious, the service even better! Thank you all so much for helping to make a fantastic vacation even more enjoyable.

A little hard to find, it's inside the spa resort up the stairs to the left. It's casual and quiet…read more When we were there there were only 3 others in the dining area. Service was first class, I had a Caesar which came with a loaded skewer of pickled goodies and the drink itself was great. The boss had a watermelon mule with a shot of vodka to kick it up a notch. Tasty drinks complemented our fish and chips. We both had the Bar Fish n chips. Huge chunk of tasty lightly battered cod with a mountain of fries and coleslaw. Delicious. We were presented with home made complementary chips and aioli which made finishing dinner a challenge. Would like to try other items. Good experience.

Quick to be seated with reservations…read more Beer and appetizers came quick. Potato chips and Appy Sampler (4 veggie spring rolls and 4 potstickers) were cold, not even like warm. I felt like it was sitting out for awhile. Appy Sampler came with plum sauce and Thai Chili sauce, which was preferred over the plum sauce. Zen burger was made with black bean, brown rice, and lentil - which was a nice twist to it. I'm not a fan of a plain black bean patty, but the lentil made it stand out. I noted a hint of curry with the lentils. I really appreciated Mireille double checking if I was vegan/vegetarian to ensure the cooking staff didn't cross contaminate. Pressed parm was a classic item. Standard marinara and provolone wrapped in a naan bread, which I thought it interesting. Overall, I'd come back and try the Nilly sandwich and other appetizers, but would really hope for fresh appetizers.

Pulling in the place looked so welcoming from the road. (Everything is so clean here.)…read more The dining room was really nice, had only one couple inside. We came around 11:30 am and so it was not packed. Our server's name was Frankie, she was the only one working beside the chef and she was so pleasant and very personable. Very attentive. I got the wood fired pizza and my hubby got the hamburger and fries. I asked for my pizza to get fired a little longer and it was perfect. Great crust! Had just the right amount of crisp and nice chew. (A really nice couple at the table next to us that was visiting from Buffalo NY had a pizza and suggested we ask for it to be fired a little longer because it was softer than they liked-great tip.) My hubby said his hamburger was good but slightly too salty so you may want to ask for light salt. The portion sizes were good. My sister ordered the poutine and I tried it-it was so good. Fresh curds! I would recommend this place for a nice lunch.

The domestic beer selection was great, the pork belly was absolutely melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the poutine was everything you hope it will be. The burgers were cooked perfectly, and the brisket was tender, flavorful, and exceeded our expectations. To top it all off, our bartender was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. If you're in the Niagara area and looking for great food, cold beer, and excellent service, I definitely recommend checking out Blind Pig. We'd happily come back on our next trip!

I'm extremely disappointed and, quite frankly, grossed out by my experience at Cat's Caboose today…read more I ordered lunch and used the salt shaker that was sitting on our table. It wasn't until after I had already put the salt on my food and eaten my meal that I noticed dark, unidentified debris/foreign material inside the shaker. I took several close-up photographs of exactly what I found. I immediately handed the shaker to our waitress and explained what I had discovered. Her response was simply, "Thanks." She took the shaker away, but there was no apology, no explanation, no manager who came over to speak with us, and no real acknowledgment that I had already consumed food using salt from that container. The restaurant was not particularly busy at the time, which made the lack of response even more surprising. I understand that things can occasionally be missed in any restaurant. I'm not expecting perfection. But when something involving cleanliness or food safety is brought to a restaurant's attention, how the restaurant responds matters enormously. In this case, the response concerns me almost as much as what I found in the shaker. I left feeling genuinely grossed out, and unfortunately, the way the situation was handled has not encouraged me to return and eat there again. I know Cat's Caboose is a very popular restaurant. I'm also realistic enough to know that losing my business or receiving one negative review probably isn't going to have a significant impact on them. That really isn't why I'm sharing this. I believe consumers should share both their good and bad experiences so other people can make their own informed choices. Where we spend our money, our time and our attention matters. We work hard for our money, and when we choose to spend it at a business, it's reasonable to expect cleanliness, appropriate food-handling practices and genuine concern when something goes wrong. I have photographs showing exactly what I found, so I'm not going to speculate about what the material actually was. People can look at the photos and draw their own conclusions. I can only speak about what happened to me today: I used that salt shaker on my food, ate my meal, discovered what was inside afterward, reported it to the restaurant, and was extremely disappointed by how casually my concern was handled. Unfortunately, this experience has left me uncomfortable enough that I don't feel confident returning.

This place was so great. A super attentive staff -- they kept all our allergen info straight (in…read moreour party of four we had one corn allergy, one shellfish allergy, and one person who doesn't eat pork) and helped us navigate the appropriate breakdown of small plates for our appetite. I got the pattypan squash and it was beautiful... like something I would have eaten growing up, but elevated. I was still hungry so I hit the fried avocado sandwich. Scrumptious! Such a fun veggie option!! The drinks were adorable and delicious, too. Overall, love love love. I'd recommend to anyone in the area

Stopped back into OddBird, and once again it reminded us why it's one of the most exciting spots…read morearound. The place still has that laid-back, brick-and-mortar charm -- casual, buzzy, and full of character. We grabbed a table this time, which gave us a great view of the room and that steady hum of energy that makes the place feel alive. We kicked things off with the oysters -- super fresh and elevated by their lineup of inventive sauces and the hit of freshly grated horseradish. The bone marrow was rich and silky, the kind of dish that makes you pause and appreciate it. The foie gras was beautifully executed, decadent without being heavy, and the fried chicken was as fantastic as always: crisp, juicy, and seasoned perfectly. Everything felt thoughtful, bold, and distinctly OddBird -- the type of place where you can trust the kitchen to deliver something memorable every time. Overall, another standout meal and absolutely worth the repeat visits. Saluti!
