Open Face Turkey sandwich
Chuck M.

All in all the food is very good here. The place is load but I kind of expected that. A lot of kids running around. The wait time for the food was extremely long.

What a unique experience. UFO shaped with Alien decor. Very big menu. Serves about anything you desire. Steak, shrimp, Italian, breakfast and your typical diner food. My cheeseburger was plain Jane but tasted snacking. Double patty with lettuce, tomato, ketchup and mayo. Fries were crispy. My wife's steak was real good for a diner steak. Exceptional rice. My son said his quesadilla was bland, chicken had no seasoning and cheese was non existent. Very friendly staff. Defiantly a neat little place. The bathrooms could use some tidying up but overall cleanliness of the restaurant was good. A nice stop. 8.3 out of 10.

I really love the concept of the restaurant, and the decor is absolutely adorable. The service was quite good, especially considering it was pretty busy- we had to wait about 25 minutes to get seatwd. We visited on a Sunday afternoon. The food was delicious! Generous portions at reasonable prices.

The saltiest Italian wedding soup

We arrived very excited to try the famous Flying Saucer restaurant and were told that the wait would be around 20 minutes, we were given a buzzer. There's also a sign that says that wait times can't be guaranteed, so when our wait time exceeded 20 minutes, we just continued to wait as everyone around us has their buzzers go off and excitedly walked in. At around the 40 minute point I asked for an update, they claim they tried to buzz us :|apparently our buzzer was broken. Since that table and others were given to groups who arrived after us, the only available table was one of the few near the entrance where there are no decorations and you might as well be in any hole in the wall diner. After that long unnecessary wait, to see how cool the inside looked but be left to sit by the entrance was a huge disappointment. We ordered, and by that time I had a headache and lost my appetite so I just ordered a soup. Couldn't get past a few bites, I've never had a soup that salty. Other dishes on the table including pancakes (served with "pancake syrup", a disappointment considering we're in Canada..), a turkey club w/ fries, and wings were all fine but nothing special.

Hamburger and fries

While on vacation ate here twice for not only the quality and quantity of food but also the reasonable price. Highly recommend the saucer fries and hamburger!!!!

You got to love the '50s retro sign!

You know, sometimes you just want to have a breakfast that's out of this world. Okay, that was a pretty cheesy starting line but it's fitting for this restaurant that I stumbled across by accident when I was in Niagara falls Canada. To be honest, I didn't even know I wanted to go there as I drove by it several times and thought okay. This place has to be a gimmick. With its it's '50s retro sign, and saucer shaped building. But I thought what the heck, when in Canada you have to go board a spaceship. First off, I have to compliment the lady at the front desk. Very friendly. And helpful. All of the rumors you've heard about Canadians being nice are not rumors. True story. They sat me down and brought me some coffee. Checking out the menu, I decided on the E. T. Special, which was two eggs, two sausage links, two strips of bacon, four pieces of toast, home fries (which were actually cubed hash browns), and two pancakes. All for under $16 Canadian. Let me tell you it was a lot of food. This is obviously a very popular place as it did take a while for the food to arrive, but it was hot and delicious. They bring you an actual carafe of coffee, so you don't have to keep asking for refills, which was nice. The ambiance of the place is a lot of fun, definitely UFO themed, and overall it was just a great experience. If you're looking for breakfast, because this place fills up fast. Bottom line? If you're looking for a really fun breakfast experience, you can't do better than the flying saucer restaurant.

Little alien dude.

I came here under protest. It's a fun looking touristy spot. Lots of things to take pictures of and even some genuinely cool and fun merch. The staff is also some of the friendliest we experienced in Niagara Falls (though that's faint praise). The food left a lot to be desired. My burger was every single burger you've ever gotten in a high school cafeteria; spongy, inoffensive, adequate in every sense of the word. The fries were passable, and they served us a truly staggering amount of them. The long island iced tea we ordered was also... Ok. There's not much to say about it unfortunately, it's just so "meh" All that being said, it's definitely worth a stop for the decor and to pick up a T-shirt if nothing else. Oh, and it should be noted, there were large and very clean bathrooms, which I appreciated.

JJ's On The Docks Eatery - French toast and bacon

Excellent food and presentation Great desert selection…read more Great service polite wait staff Good ambiance

We checked out JJ's on the Docks, a nice little diner right by the water with a bit of an east…read morecoast vibe. Great location and a relaxed atmosphere overall. For drinks, my wife and I each grabbed a bottle of Rickard's. They serve it in a frosted glass which is a nice touch, but... the price was pretty wild. Paying around $9-$11 for a bottle/can felt a bit excessive. We started with the Broccoli Cheese Poppers, which we've ordered at other spots before since they're usually vegetarian-friendly (my wife is pescatarian). I thought they were really tasty, but unfortunately my wife had almost finished one before realizing there was bacon inside...and it wasn't listed on the menu. When we asked to confirm, it was pretty disappointing. She was understandably upset, especially since she's been pescatarian for over 10 years. It would've gone a long way if they at least took it off the bill, but they didn't, and that definitely hurt the overall experience. For mains, I ordered JJ's Meatloaf; really solid dish. The mashed potatoes were a highlight, veggies were cooked nicely, and everything had great flavour. Only downside was the bun that came with it got pretty soggy. My wife ordered the Grilled Fish Panini; she liked it, not amazing, but good. The fish was fresh and flaky, and the bread had a nice garlic bread vibe. Overall, it's a decent spot with good food and a nice setting, but the beer prices and the issue with the unlisted bacon definitely took away from the experience.

There's something magical about driving out to a farm in the middle of nowhere for a restaurant…read more Definitely gave The Menu vibes, but I loved how everything was sourced if not from the surrounding land, then from somewhere else in Canada. I loved the unfamiliar, native ingredients and the education that the meal came with. Favorites included just about everything: Lobster, carrot tuile, halibut, hogget, lovage sorbet, apple and quince tart (I don't even like apple tarts/pies), black currant wood ice cream sandwich. Also got the juice pairing and it was perhaps the most interesting juice pairing I've had. Service was practically flawless. The only thing they didn't do was push in my chair when I sat LOL. Stephanie was also a great server. She practically made our night. Loved laughing with her. Overall: Definitely one of the most memorable meals for me and worth the effort of the trip and money for a special occasion.

What an incredible experience here last night. One of the best of my life!…read more The location felt very tucked away from the world. Driving down a gravel pathway through the property to get to a mostly unmarked black building. There was an unmarked door that blended into the side of the building with a welcome sign sticking out. Already so intriguing and very elusive feeling! We headed up the stairs and were warmly greeted by the host who led us through the dining area to our table in the corner. The ambience of the dining room was very minimalistic yet rustic and warm. Perfectly designed to look out of the window to the rest of the property. Our waiter alex along with the rest of the well equipped and knowledgeable staff were excellent at guiding us through the meticulously crafted 10 course meal. We added the cheese course in between main course and desserts, fabulous addition. Honestly too many great things to list. From Lobster from Nova Scotia to hearty sourdough baked right down the street, to marinated raspberries on top of a finely crafted dessert. On top of most everything locally grown. The amount of flavor we experienced was incredible. We opted out of doing the wine pairing and tried out a few of their cocktails instead - Manhattan, vesper martini, pineapple weed daiquiri - all fantastic. I will be dreaming about this for a while!
