    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Grilled chicken really good.
    Vickie T.

    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.

    Thai Curry Bowl
    Shannon C.

    First night in Niagara, the food choices are overwhelming however reading reviews made the outlook grim. We landed on Kelsey's, which had mixed reviews and I can now add to that mix. We were happy to be seated immediately as the city was packed!! Service was great, KJ was very prompt and friendly, offering local recommendations on top of great wait service. Good was mediocre at best. I had the Alfredo bowl with chicken, my husband had Thai curry bowl and my daughter had Mac n cheese. The Mac n cheese wasn't cheese; it was a watered down Alfredo, she wouldn't eat it. My Alfredo was also very watered, not much flavor, but different from my daughters. The chicken was from a can or something, not good. My husband enjoyed his food but not until the end when he could actually mix the sauce that was all at the bottom. Overall not the worst meal but I wouldn't return.

    Alleged "House Made Chicken Tenders"!
    Gary M.

    July 7/2023: Lunch in Niagara falls W Al, Schnitzel & Layla. This was so much a mediocre experience. We sat on the patio. It was noisy & dirty. There was trash & napkins blowing all over the place. The food was even less then mediocre! The salad was nice but the alleged "House Made Chicken Tenders ($20.97) we clearly a refry. They were more like "Chicken Toughs" then tenders! To top it off they were not nearly as hot as they should have been! And because I changed the fries to a salad I was charged an extra $3.99!! This is outrageous behaviour by some restaurants! The food took a while longer then it should have to come out. The highlight of the meal was the server (Niv D.) a very nice young fella that got the entire order right the first time around. I cannot envision a scenario where I'll ever go to another Kelsey's Restaurant!

Perched at the very edge of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, the floor-to-ceiling windows frame a panorama so immediate and thunderous that the mist itself seems to season every course. The cuisine, while not striving for avant-garde reinvention, demonstrates a quiet confidence -- classic Canadian fare executed with care, generous in portion, and honest in flavor. One dines here understanding that the kitchen need not compete with the spectacle beyond the glass; rather, it complements it with warmth and reliability. Yet what elevated this visit to something truly memorable was the service -- and more specifically, our server, Nitsa. A fixture of this establishment since 1984, she carries four decades of hospitality with the energy and radiance of someone who might have started last season. Her warmth is genuine, her attentiveness instinctive, and her ability to make every table feel singularly important is a rare gift. In a restaurant where nature provides the theatre, Nitsa delivers the soul. Table Rock House Restaurant makes no pretense of being anything other than what it is: a destination where the grandeur of Niagara Falls meets thoughtful cooking and gracious service. It is unabashedly touristy, and all the better for it. Some dining experiences are about culinary revelation; this one is about wonder -- and it delivers magnificently.

Massive menu of burgers, spanning a range of style from thick to smash, flames to griddle, and even typed of meat or non-meat. Quite frankly, if you can't find a burger that calls to you here, you must be very difficult to please. It was a Sunday, and the general area was thumping, this place was about half full and the vibe was relaxed. They're not on the absolutely main drag of Clifton Hill, and honestly, I would hope that benefits them both in price of rent and who might find it easy to wander in. There is paid parking nearby, cheaper than most because to get down to the falls is a bit of a hike. The hike back will be pretty far uphill, but we made it no problem. I love that the sodas come in a giant measuring cup, not much need for a refill, but they do give them complimentary if you ask for one. We started with standard poutine as an appetizer, it was really tasty. Nice flavor on the gravy, and a large amount of cheese curds. Instead of getting more fries as a side, went for a caesar salad. Was surprised to see bacon on it, but I definitely didn't hate that. It was quite good. I got a double smash burger with a nice thick onion ring on it and their version of burger sauce, as well as a spice relish to kick things up a notch. First thing, my patties were smashed very nicely, and there was a clear crispy crust on them. Bravo, I was pretty impressed, and the flavor was robust. I loved the spicy relish, and the bun also complemented the meat well. It was a big burger, and I was thoroughly satisfied. The service, maybe could have been slightly more attentive, but really just took awhile to take our order. Once it was taken, we had no complaints. Very friendly, everything was accurate, and like I said... big drink cups means not a ton of need for refills. I would come back here again on a future visit to the falls.

Sure, it was good... but Doc's knocked by socks off. I went here on a recommendation from the staff at a hotel that competes with the Best Western where Doc's is located, which is always a good sign for a hotel restaurant. Got the corned beef boxty, which is amazing. With the boxty fries, which were really good - much better than standard fries, in my opinion. And had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Heavenly. I actually went back two days later after dinner at another restaurant to have the sticky toffee pudding one more time. The atmosphere is very nice, like a pub should be, with good service from the bartender, music the second night I was there, and some good conversation with a fellow traveler from London (Ontario). The odds are high that I'll be back. If you're looking for somewhere to burn all the delicious calories, my suggestions are the Niagara River Recreation Trail (from Fort Erie to Niagara-on-the-Lake) and the Niagara Gorge Hiking Trails. Three and a half out of five for Doc's matches. They burn well, and are a cool souvenir, but it's difficult to strike them on the side of the box. Still useful to have around the house where I can strike them on the side of another box, but not ideal for a retro night out on the town.

    Tasty Pub Fare, Great Vibes & Even Better Reuben Bites!…read more Doc Magilligan's is a cozy Irish pub with a solid menu, a great beer selection, and a lively atmosphere. We really enjoyed the live music--it definitely added to the vibe, though it did make chatting a bit tricky at times. That said, the sets were short and added a fun touch to the evening. We started with a few appetizers, and everything hit the spot--the cauliflower bites were tasty, the spinach dip was solid, but the star was definitely the Reuben Bites--absolutely delicious! For mains, my wife ordered the mac and cheese and loved the depth of flavour--you can really taste the leeks, which was a nice twist. I got the chicken parm mac and cheese and thought it was fantastic--the chicken was juicy, crispy, and perfectly done. The rest of our group was just as happy--my brother raved about the Chicken Pot Pie, and the Bangers and Mash were also a hit. Overall, a great Irish pub experience with comforting food, friendly vibes, and some standout dishes. Definitely worth a visit!
