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.

This appears it was because there is no hostess and the servers are doing it all themselves, so they continued to take orders and bring out items for those already seated before showing us to a table. Once at the table the initial ordering and bringing of the food was fine. We then proceeded to wait an excessive amount of time as our waitress went from table to table checking on everyone else but never even looked our way so we could flag her down to let her know we were ready for the check. Not sure if it was an understaffing issue or what but the service left us disappointed with our experience. The only reason the review is 4 stars is because the food was that good!

While waiting for your meal, you'll get to enjoy looking at the history of the diner through pictures decorating the walls. Breakfast was reasonably priced and delicious.

It had a mixture of locals and tourists, with the locals being the majority. They were all welcomed in by name. Be prepared for a long wait. Lol you're advised of this when entering and with signage around the restaurant. There's a very limited menu. After getting our coffee (and a couple refills), the Chef yelled over asking what we wanted. Very casual. Well our breakfast were not only reasonably priced($6.99 canadian) but also huge. All made to order down to the potatoes being cut up individually with each order. Crazy as it sounds though was the Italian bread toast served with breakfast. It was outstanding! We even inquired where they purchased the bread and we made a stop there after finishing our breakfast. Overall, great food, reasonable prices, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be returning. 2023-97

The buffet is exactly what you expect (except no waffles, just pancakes?) I did avoid the flat eggs, they were just always rubbery and dry. But the omelets were great and the server really awesome attitude. Some dishes were slow to be replenished and sometimes they ran out of bowls for awhile, even when not super busy. The drink glasses can be difficult to get to as well. But you get fruits, yogurts, bacon, sausage, potatoes, pancakes, even a salsa bar thing. Good convenient way to fill up if you are already at the hotel. You don't really get a clear falls view with the trees that low, but you still see the river and it's better than 90% of any hotel view you can find for breakfast. It's a toss up on whether room service or buffet is preferable.

Pretty easy to find, the restaurant is located inside the strip mall, so there was plenty of parking available. The outside is a little deceptive, because the inside looks much more elegant. I was one of the first people in in the morning, so coffee was fresh and hot. This place was very reminiscent of a American Diner, and felt very much like home. The lady there went out of her way to make me feel right at home, as if I was having breakfast in someone's house. One thing you should make sure of, is either bring Canadian cash, American cash, or a Canadian debit card. They don't accept credit cards or American debit. The food was great, my eggs were perfectly. The French toast was on point, and the bacon was crispy. Bottom line? Next time I'm in town I will definitely try this place again for breakfast, and might check it out for lunch!
