    Thai Curry Bowl ( Noodles)
    Ron T.

    If you're in Niagara Falls and want a fun, casual spot not far from the action, this place delivers. The Clifton Hill address puts it in a bustling tourist corridor, which adds to the energy. Had loaded nachos, wings, burgers & Thai curry bowl (MUST try)!

    Blue pina colada and a pepsi
    Lisa P.

    Blue pina colada, how did this happen? It was so good and refreshing as this 84 degree day feels like 99+. Every bit of creamy, spiked, slushy ice gave me a good chill. Serving sizes are enough to share but why share if you're feeling kind of greedy. Lol. Everything was so fresh and I had plenty of everything to customize my fajita experience. Haven't had a meal yet here in Canada that I didn't enjoy.

    Felt like a sports bar. Food was ok, rivaled pub food. Waitress was A1. She was very bubbly and showed great attention. Being from NY, I found her blue hair amusing during the Yanks/Jays series.

    Buffalo Mac and cheese
    Lilly R.

    Best freaking place to eat. Buffalo chicken Mac and was AWESOME, DELICIOSO. The BBQ ribs was OMG LOVED IT. It was tender, soft and Chewy... the Beef Fajitas were AMAZING, SOFT AND TASTY. it was so good we went twice here on our Niagara fall vacation. The place was amazing, people are great. The waitress were so nice and were very attentive on us. The place was up brat, nice selection on music and was AWESOME. Would go there hands down baby.... I would recommend this place if your in the area...

    Thai Bowl with shrimp and rice
    Christina S.

    Dined in last night around 8pm. We were seated immediately, party of 7 on the outside patio. It was hot but thankfully the sun went down and it got comfortable. They have a nice menu with a variety of choices. I was past the point of hungry...so hungry no idea what I wanted to eat. Lol My son had the sirloin steak diner with shrimp on top and he really enjoyed it (except the baked potato was burnt and hard but the waitress removed it from the bill). I tried the Thai shrimp bowl over rice and enjoyed it. Not the best Thai food but decent especially considering this isn't their speciality. I also had the ocean breeze Pina colada which I loved! 10/10 I didn't catch our servers name but she was friendly and efficient. My only complaint was we waited a long time for our food! Long enough that even the kids mentioned it. Would recommend if in the area. My friends family all had the fajitas and they all really enjoyed them. They looked good too!

    Mushroom melter burger
    Kevin H.

    Let me start with bad. It took way too long for our food to come based on the amount of people in this place at the time. Ok now the good, the food was good. Mushroom melter burger was good. I recommend. Fish and chips were a hit but I will say there was only one piece of fish and the fries were big steak fries. It tasted good just be mindful if you are a big eater. I had sweet potato fries which are a personal favorite any time I eat out. These were mid. One daughter had the Alfredo pasta. She said its mid. It had shrimp in it. I tasted it because she was not being her usual self so I thought maybe she was just tripping, she wasn't, it was mid. Wife had bacon bourbon burger. She liked it a lot. The atmosphere to this place is in the name. It's Kelsey's Roadhouse. It's just like you would expect a roadhouse restaurant to be. *Note. It's open to outside. Like there are literally 3 walls that are open and so outside is inside. Cool lil spot. TVs and a bar. I'd watch the game here for sure and would return. Oh I almost forgot. Entrees range from $21-$25 bucks. p.s. my sister n law had onion rings. They were not good. Very Burger King like.

    It was really busy night. The servers tried to be attentive as possible and did a great job. The establishment itself was okay in regard to cleanliness. There were a lot of tables that needed to be cleared and cleaned from the party before. The drinks came out pretty good! My burger was pretty good although I couldn't order it medium due to Canada's law, so I had to have it well done, nonetheless it was a pretty good burger and so were the loaded fries. Our server was attentive as he could be, given the fact they were so busy and definitely needed more staff.

    Buffalo chicken sandwich with beet salad
    Kiara N.

    I enjoyed my dining experience at Kelsey's. After the Niagara Falls tour, we walked up the steep hill in hopes of finding a restaurant to dine at for lunch. There very well may have been other restaurants around, but we were so beat after that hill Kelsey's it was. It wasn't very crowded yet and we opted for a seat outdoors. The booths were very large and comfy. Our server was attentive and very accommodating. We ordered shrimp as an appetizer and a chicken blt w/ beet salad, chicken tender wrap w/ onion rings and lovely fiesta bowl for our meals. Everything was amazing! I wasn't too keen on the bacon, but I didn't need it anyway.

    Cesear Salad with Grilled Chicken
    Sheila G.

    Food is great and customer service was awesome. I had the Caesar Salad with chicken. We also had the wings and salmon dish.

    Beet and goat cheese salad
    Leva N.

    Tasty, but that was to be expected. I think if I had to put every restaurant in Ontario on an axis this one would be almost central which is to say somewhat generic but liked by most I suppose! Definitely more fast fashion, less concept store.

    Overall Experience, 4/5: It was a good experience, and I enjoyed the food. Fortunately, the weather was perfect during our visit, allowing us to sit outside and enjoy the ambiance. Even though it was busy, we got seated pretty quickly. Food/Drink, 4/5: The food and drinks were quite good. We got the wings and the spinach dip appetizer. The portion sizes were generous, and sharing was definitely an option. Plus, you can choose from two different sauces or seasonings for the wings. Pricing, 3.75/5: The pricing was typical for a restaurant--neither too expensive nor as cheap as fast food. Service, 4.5/5: Our server was very friendly and attentive. He frequently checked on us and promptly addressed any issues with our food. Aesthetic/Atmosphere, 3.75/5:The atmosphere was quite loud and bar-like, and the place was very busy. However, the option to sit outside allowed us to enjoy the city's ambiance.

    Grilled chicken really good.

    Was worried it would be too commercial. But no the food was very good! Service was great! And had an open table by the street. Nice breeze while we had lunch.

    Cajun Bowl
    Doug L.

    Had the Cajun bowl for lunch. The service Size was huge as it was for those I noticed around me. It came With beans and my preference would have been for them Warmed. Others might say cold is better The flavors were good Not great but solid.

    Stopped in during the off-season and the bartender was fantastic. She was running the bar by…read moreherself and absolutely handled it -- attentive, friendly, efficient, and professional the entire time. I wish I remembered her name, but thank you. You made the visit. Now, when you market yourself as the Original Buffalo Wing, that carries real weight. There's history there. There's pride there. And honestly, there's an expectation that comes with it. If you're going to carry that banner, you have to be better than Buffalo Wild Wings. That's just the reality. The identity of the place is built on being the original. The wings were good. Solid flavor, classic presentation, cold beer, sports on the TVs -- it checks the boxes for a fun wing spot. But were they clearly a step above other national wing chains? Probably not. And that's where the expectation gap shows up. That said, it's still a good place to grab wings and a beer. Bring your buddies, bring your family, bring your girlfriend -- catch a game and hang out. It's casual and comfortable. If you're in Niagara Falls and want to experience the history behind the name, it's worth a stop. Just go in expecting a solid wing-and-beer experience rather than something that completely resets the standard.

    I've heard about Anchor bar many times over the years and though the pics I've seen of their…read moreBuffalo Wings never looked appetizing to me, I stopped in here one evening because it was a quick walk from my hotel and it was pouring rain. When I got there they were moderately busy, but there were many seats available at the bar, where I sat. It took a while before the bartender came to greet me and it was a quick touch & go when she did. Service was extremely lackluster the entire visit as she stayed at the other end of the bar the entire time, either handling service bar or patrons on that end... Made me wish I would have sat down there instead. But I had to wait for basic stuff, like a fork after being served my food. The food was decent. I tried their Beef on Weck and Wing combo - It looked nice then it came out, but it didn't come with much horseradish and I wanted to ask for more, but I'd still be waiting, so I dealt with what I got. The sandwich itself was great! Beef was tender and flavorful, the bun was great too - except I don't understand why they made them with the outside being so greasy, that's nasty. The wings had decent flavor, I ordered them with their spicy BBQ sauce on them, which wasn't spicy at all. They had a nice crisp to them too, but they were small and not very meaty, so 5 went down quickly. The fries were plain and basic, nothing special. I had to wait quite a while for the check and ended up flagging down the barback to get it for me and hurried up and paid while I had his attention, as the bartender never came back down to our end of the bar. Seems like the 2 guests around me had the same issue. Overall, it's a touristy place with mediocre food and poor service.

It's not a bad place to go to sit down and relax and they offer a lunch buffet with spaghetti, chicken and salads. I came here to work a little bit and while the service was good, the food (in particular the burger was just A-OK). We started with an order of hot wings which were fairly delicious and the blue cheese that came with it was high quality. On the Buffalo Wing scale, I'd give em a 7/10, which is pretty good. They could have used more crisp, but the wings were saucy and large to be a contender for some more delicious ones. The burger really fell flat. The bun wasn't tasty and could have used some toasting. The meat had no discernible seasoning. The waitress didn't know whether it was cooked from frozen or not when I asked. Although I was asked how I wanted it cooked (med rare, please!), it came out medium well / well and didn't have too much flavor. I'd skip the burger, go for the wings and maybe try a few other things on the menu. All in all, it's an A-OK place to grab lunch if you're on a budget.
