Great old style sports pub Not filled with annoying tourists (daytime and Covid). Friendly staff and good location, away a bit from the falls... read more

I have been to this establishment 6 times expecting different results, butbalwyas find myself to be disappointed. Pros: Good food and good menu selection Cons: Irritable Staff. EXTREMELY long wait times. I am talking 30 minutes for your food when the place is DEAD. Hostess did not check up on us 4/6 times I visited . Too busy talking with colleagues and laughing . Also have the audacity to charge us the Niagara Falls Tourist Tax after we explained we were locals when we sat down. read more

Have been reviewing for ages, first time here post Covid. Our server was Becky... a lovely, friendly young lady well versed in the menu and wine list. My wife prefers everything crazy-make-your-ears-bleed spicy. We asked for the hottest hot sauce... the chef ( Steve D) brought us bread and a sample of something he put together that was much hotter than the menu offerings... a beautiful balance of crazy heat and amazing flavour. The French Onion soup that Chef Steve D created was by far the best French Onion soup we have sampled thus far in our journey. Nachos with pulled pork were fantastic... but the homey, friendly conversation and attention from Becky and Chef Steve D are a sure fire win... an understated venue but given the chance, the staff and the food will impress. Great job Don Cherry's ... read more

The coffee had a really good flavor. I really enjoyed my breakfast. My toast had some pretty delicious butter spread over. My son loved their hot chocolate and he finished all his breakfast wich it's usually unusual. The service was ot the fastest but reasonable. I was hoping for more coffee since it was good but did get offered. They were not that busy eather but in general the food was very good. read more

We were at this place twice.... First time was ok..... fries well not sure what happened... raw inside......went in today....Saturday.... Omg we ended up leaving.... Staff was doing a good job being on their phones....we were ignored.... Tables not cleared etc...... please do not waste your time or money read more

This place is disastrous!! Our child's chicken tender was raw and uncooked and the pizza was burnt to a crisp. The staff seemed confused and not properly trained, just an overall mess. The onion rings were next to impossible to eat. Not to mention the iced tea was watered down and tasted like water with a drop of iced tea.. I would not recommend this place unless you're looking for a drink with the buddies... Severely disappointed and was hoping for better, especially from someone as big as Don Cherry. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite.... had the best burger in ages. I recommend the Press Burger. Cheese bacon with fried onion straws...,,superb! I also enjoyed a reasonably priced Cesar...so delish I had 2! Seems to be a quite gem in over hyped Niagara Falls. read more

Grapes would not be proud Don Cherry's at the Beacon Harborside Hotel is a sports bar with a large menu that makes you wonder how can they offer such a selection of items when the place is empty? I felt compelled to ask what to order, hoping that the waitress would guide me to what was routinely available with a skeleton crowd. So my guest and I ordered the Canadian sandwich which was basically a clubhouse sandwich. And it was OK. I'm glad we ordered an item that would be hard to mess up. However the chicken was very dry and overall the Canadian, the most popular item, would have scored a solid 6 out of 10. I can't imagine ordering some of the other items. The interior is a bit run down and has seen better days. There are many TV's that still seem to come out of the 70's. Our waitress on the other hand was attentive, cheerful and definitely improved our experience. Maybe they should have a few of Don's old suits on the walls. A few new TV's and a basic "freshening up" would also go a long way. read more

first time here. Wow was it horrible. Our server was on her phone the whole time. All we did was get 2 vodka sodas. We wanted to play pool but parents with kids they had no control over we there and trying to break things and screaming. the Bar didn't even have all the games on.. we had to ask for the leafs game and Instead of having the raptors playoff on they had (paramount) station playing of 50% of tv. our bill for 2 drinks came to over 20$ because they charge for the shot and then 4$ for mix per drink.... It was sofa water out of the gun. Will not be back and for a company trying to be a sports bar and compete with Boston pizza on the hill I will continue to go to Boston pizza read more

Wing deals are the best. The wings here are great. Small sports bar that plays most games. Great customer service. Two stars because the other food is pretty bad. Don't order fries. They were undercooked. Poutine with undercooked fries should be a crime punishable by death. Burgers were flavorless and boring. Great spot for wings and beer. Skip everything else. read more

I wish I would of yelped this place before going. I'm at Niagara Falls for the weekend and came down for apps and drinks to the restaurant in the hotel we are staying. What a fiasco! The drinks were terrible. Worse than bottom shelf! The food was bad too! And the service wasn't great either. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars it might still be a bit to high, let's start with the fact the booths were old worn out and dirty, the food it self had no flavor what so ever the only good thing about it was it came out hot but it was burned so I don't think they had much of a choice the manager on shift had no and I mean no people skills I was holding a menu and he walked over and literally took it out of my hands and did not even speak you wouldn't even know he was an employee if he was not behind the counter, there was an added tourist tax that the waitress took no time to explain , in all I would not recommend this place save your money and your time stay away !!!!! read more

Delicious food and delicious drinks. Hailey was our server, and she was superb. Will definitely return.

I just keep getting disappointed with the food here. I have a 10% discount from the hotel but it's useless since there are other taxes I have to pay like DMF and HST. The food is mediocre even the wings. I've tried the mild wings, chicken wrap, some waffle nacho cheese that's a local fav and the burger. My best recommendation...go elsewhere and make sure your food equals the money spent. Try the Lundy strip and go for fast food if you wanna keep it cheap. I'm giving it a two star because our first waiter was very attentive. I forget his name. But he's tall and bald. read more

Worst experience of all time! Food was the worst I've ever received like A f*ck you in a styrofoam box. Way over priced and incredibly long wait time read more

At breakfast, after enduring mis-prepared food and spotty service, we were held hostage for 30 minutes waiting for our bill. No exaggeration, the waitress kept saying that she needed the manager to approve some discount she wanted to make to our bill because of all of the other problems. After asking about the bill 4 times, we finally just left our estimate of our bill with the cashier and left. Between the slow service, screwups, and being held hostage for the bill, we lost an hour of time we wanted to spend at the wineries. Beyond terrible management - to be avoided at all costs. read more

Food was semi-ok. Took over 45 minutes for our food to arrive and all we had was a wrap and chicken with rice. Our waitress did not fill up water or offer at all. The only good thing about this restaurant was that the food was reasonably priced for what you get. Really unimpressed. read more

GET IT TO GO!!!! Had the Canadian pizza it was absolutely terrific but the service was absolutely horrible. Only two tables and customers were being ignored. Drinks took 10 mins and we didn't even have menus while we waited. I asked for hot sauce. Didn't get it. Asked one more time. Didn't get it. Got up to find her and ask her again and only then did I finally get it. Now if it were busy I wouldn't care. But I got the impression the waitstaff didn't care. read more

We stopped in for weekday lunch and had very limited time. Wings were served really fast and our hostess Helen was absolutely wonderful. She was very helpful with tourist tips, and very quick to keep our drinks filled. She makes one of he best Irish coffee around. Signed, The Irish Coffee Boys Stop in if u have the time read more

This sports bar is attached to the Ramada Plaza hotel. First of all, it's huge. Plenty of seating inside and out. We caught them at 11pm, so it was a limited menu and only two people on the wait staff (a bartender and a server). It took a while for us to be served--we ended up grabbing our own menus--but once we were served it was cool. The waiter was friendly and attentive. I had the classic poutine and my friend had the calamari. Both were good and pretty good portions. Nothing fancy. Just a good place to grab a bite, a drink, and regroup. read more

Pretty cool place to hang out. Lots of hockey memorabilia all around. Drinks were good. Visited on a Tuesday night and it wasn't busy at all. I had the buffalo wrap and it was good. Typical Falls sports bar pricing. I would definitely go again. read more

Well I ignored the warnings and sat down in dons den. I am well aware my 10% coupon will be swallowed by the commie taxes here in Niagara Falls (17.3%! WTF is this NFLD?) and Ok the much ballyhooed cheese sticks arrived and they are five breakfast sausage sized portions of havarti in deep fried spring rolls. 2 minutes for embellishment! We have ordered the chicken parm (risky) and the buffalo wings (easy peasy) and I can report the chicken parm was good for portion size but the noodles had to be sent back as they were cold. My wings came with lots of sauce as I asked for and come carrots and celery which makes a difference so I was happy. A follow up drink order kinda took a while for a beer bucket but hey this is a bar first restaurant second. My wife did notice the two other tables in our area each had a complaint of some sort. I'm giving don a three out of five because he is a good Ontario boy. Let's go! read more

I wish I could give it a zero. Worst burger in my long life. Well done, ordered rare, stiff as a board and burned on a stale roll. Mediocre off the truck fries. Very slow service. No wonder so few people were there. Stay away. read more

This place is atrocious. The food is revolting. A pancakes or French toast entree comes with nothing at all on the side, and for the price, it really should. But maybe it's best that it doesn't because the potatoes and meat are gross. We got a 2 for 1 coupon from the hotel and even so we ended up paying $23 + tax (we got a tea and potatoes as a side; still shouldn't be that expensive). There's no reason to eat here - food's gross and you won't even save money. read more

I got a Groupon deal for my trip to Niagara Falls and I am so glad I did. The waitstaff are very friendly and willing to go get ketchup for my son to dip his Garlic Bread in. The coupon was for a large pizza, garlic bread, soda for 4 plus a Niagara Fun Zone pass but since they only had medium we got 2 pizzas. Bonus! read more

Oh my gosh - where to start: this place is awful. Food: bad, service : bad. Don't waste your time. I'm really upset we wasted ours.

A great friendly place to eat. You should try havarti cheese sticks. Wings were so delicious and they are better than another wing places such as st. Louis or wild wing... Excellent staff and service. read more

We stayed at the Ramada which is attached to Don Cherry's. I can only write this review on the breakfast though, what a fiasco! The place was completely unorganized. It was seat yourself, which is fine, but nobody came over to see us for well over 15 minutes even after I talked to someone. I was actually giving it 5 more minutes until we left. The breakfast buffet they offered for $18 was not worth from what I saw. We ordered off of the menu for just that. If it wasn't for the 2 for 1 coupon we received with our room, I don't even know if we would have done that. Service is lacking, the tables were left dirty, and the food was mediocre at best. read more

Booked ahead as we had a large party but didn't seem to matter much, service was slow. I ended up going to bar for drinks as the wait staff seemed overwhelmed. I ordered wings as I thought that was a safe bet in a sports style bar but I was pretty disappointed. My son and I shared 2 lbs and somehow they managed to find 2 lbs without one single drum wing. As well, the wings were puny , very substandard. We had probably 20 + people and everyone seemed disappointed with their food. I typically notice the little things about a place , and this location had low end condiments ( French's Ketchup & PL tartar sauce ) , this typically speaks volumes as the account is buying the cheapest product, as opposed to the best quality product. Sad, in that we might have been back on the Saturday night but based on Friday night, went somewhere else ( it's part of a hotel) read more

Slow slow service. 45 mins for apitizers. Another 30 for main course. Would have been fine except there was only 2 other tables. Add the fact that all the food was cold. Not impressed. Manager made excuses for staff. Would not recommend read more

Terrible place. Old leftover food. We had breakfast and lunch here. Nothing tastes good at all. Owners are probably just laundering money. They could care less about the place and it shows. read more

Don Cherry's - Canadian (New) Near Me - Niagara Falls, Ontario

I cannot believe the Ramada Plaza even promotes this restaurant attached to it. We're guests staying for a few days here and we decided to get breakfast at Dons Cherry for the morning. I completely wasted my money there. We had a voucher for two. As soon as I walked in, another guest in the dining room whispered to me, "you're not going to like the breakfast buffet." I ignored it because everyone has different taste in food. The server said it was self serve and we can sit where ever we'd like. Upon approaching the breakfast bar, it looks like we were eating fu**in scrap food. They could've replenished the food bar especially with an hour left of breakfast hours. I wish I took pictures of the pancakes they offered. They were the size of US quarters. It was a real disappointment. We wouldn't recommend any guests staying at Ramada Plaza to eat here for breakfast. Especially not for $12 a head. read more

Don Cherry's - Straight up scraps - Canadian (New) Near Me - Niagara Falls, Ontario

I would give 0 stars if I could. We were staying at the Ramada which is attached to this restaurant. Me(36 weeks pregnant), my husband, my sister, brother-in-law, and they have 2 girls (1 year old and 4 year old). We got in late and were really hungry so we decided to just have dinner here since its right downstairs. Me, my sister and kids got there first, the place was dead. Just two older men sitting at the bar, and a whole bunch of staff. Instead of seating us in the dinner area, they sat us in the bar, but fine, they just mopped out the place so it was wet. Husband's came shortly after along with the baby stroller. I don't know who the man was, maybe the owner? But as soon as he spotted the husbands with the stroller, no greeting or anything he just told them "I don't know where you guys are from, but here in Ontario, you cannot have kids at the table and order alcohol." My husband told him we are from Toronto..." The man didn't seem to care, just kind of gave that "oh well" look. When my husband told me that, I was like wtf, and we got up and left. Why did he assume that we weren't from Ontario? And why can't you order a beer with dinner, with your kids at the table? I am very big on customer service as I believe it makes a HUGE difference. I tip well if you exceed expectations. This restaurant didn't seem too keen on wanting to serve us so why should we waste our time and money on them? read more

Service was OK (our server was new) food was mediocre, and they ran out of the desert my wife wanted.

I ate the best Havarti Cheese Stick ever in here. The servers are very good, young, energetic and good-homered. We also tried the wings and that was also very delicious. Place is also very well decorated and there is a billiard as well. Strongly recommend to everyone. read more

Was there today after shopping at the outlet mall and do not recommend anyone go there. Usually, we are very easily pleased but this was The worst food I've ever been served in a restaurant. We Left most of it on the table! Chicken fingers had hard, knuckle like things in them and salad was dripping in dressing with stale croutons. My husband couldn't even get the meat off the cold wings that had a strange taste to them! We paid bill and left the food. When it was mentioned to staff we were told "I'll let them know" - whatever that means! Service was awful as well. It actually deserves a big fat zero! We also felt ill afterwards from the little that was in our stomachs! Don Cherry should remove his name from this place. Stay away! read more
