    Got a sundae with hot fudge and peanut butter and was very excited until I got to the custard/ice cream. It had no flavor. It tasted like heavy cream. Not vanilla. I didn't want to make a stink about it so I just threw the sundae away as it was not what I wanted nor expected. The service was good and the girl took my order with a smile and it was ready right away. It was busy and lines moved quickly. The place looked nice with the signage lit up. I'll be back but for something else. Maybe a shake

    Cheese and bacon fries
    Richard P.

    We visited on a week night in September and they were not very busy at the time. I ordered the caesar chicken sandwich which I have enjoyed several times. My wife and I shared the cheese and bacon fries which were suitably smothered, and were plenty for us both. The prices are somewhat high, but you do have a nice view of the river. We come by here at least once every summer.

    Fish sandwich with cheese
    Norma P.

    Stopped by for dinner with my husband. I ordered the fish sandwich and shared a fries with cheese and bacon with my husband. The fish sandwich was delicious but $1.60 for cheese was too much. The fries were delicious and had a lot of cheese and bacon . Overall the food was very good but expect to pay a lot...prices are high!!! We try to go at least once every summer...the location is great being right by the water!!!.

    Stopped by Mississippi Mudds for a foot long and fries with my daughter

    Nice day for a early dinner. Me and my daughter both got marinaded chicken sandwich with lettuce tomato on a Costanzo roll nice juicy chicken. And my daughter got a cheeseburger for later she enjoyed it also had lettuce and tomato she likes this sauce that tastes like the sauce on a big Mac! We had onion rings the best around nice and crispy never greasy. I had garlic parmesan fries wasn't anything special not much cheese and until I got home and noticed maybe an garlic butter on the bottom I added some garlic salt when I got home was better. And got a Loganberry drink I thought it might be too sweet but just right very good workers from the register to the cooks and anyone that had to do with the whole process nice time and day to stop at Mississippi Muds

    A Mighty Mudd Burger and Memphis Fries, please :). The food and location, which is right next to Niawanda Park in Tonawanda, is an ideal combination. It's summer and if you want something simple, satisfying and fun, this is the destination. Walking along the Niagara River is an enjoyable and relaxing activity. This is the main reason to be there, so you shouldn't skip it. Everyone who works at Mississippi Mudds is always very polite and helpful. This is a team of young, energetic people who make sure that our food is consistently delicious. Decent portions of fries are hot and crispy. The burgers are also grilled to perfection every time we order. They also serve curly lettuce, not iceberg, which is huge. Oh! I can't forget to mention the condiment stand. Mudd's Burger Sauce is my favorite. There's also pickles, a hot sauce, diced onion, plus the usual. The 2024 season ends on October 5. There are still a few days left when Mississippi Mudds will be open. Thanks, and very likely, see you next year :).

    Hot dog and French fries
    Phil W.

    Stopped in to fuel up while on a bike ride. For a hot dog , fries and a drink $15 is almost ridiculous. (Trickle down economics in play here). Fries weren't crispy, tender but no crunch... hot dog had a little char, (it's a hot dog, you can't mess it up)... Fountain drink though... that definitely hit the spot ..icy cold. Not much to report in terms of service and ambience. Order food /get food/ seat yourself if you can snag an open table.

    Two scoops of ice cream for roughly $6

    I have heard about this place, but have never been here until now. We happenrd to be in the area after having dinner in Tonawanda, when my wife suggested we visit. I had two scoops of ice cream, and so did she. As it was a Friday evening, we decided to grab our ice creams, and sit on the patio upstairs which overlooks the river. Definitely a beautiful experience. The staff did a good job ordering and serving our ice cream, which happens to be Perry's like most in the area.

    Sugar free fudge ripple ice cream
    Donna Y.

    Sugar free fudge ripple ice cream - yum! My hubby loves the vegan and gluten free vanilla custard and gluten free cones - so nice to have options for everyone! We love treating ourselves to an ice cream and then a walk by the river - it makes for a lovely afternoon in the summer.

    Milkshake
    Vicky B.

    Such a filling lunch! I had a hot dog, milkshake, and split an order of fries and was so stuffed I couldn't even finish the fries. Service was quick and ordering was easy. Food was fantastic, loved the outdoor seating options in both the sun or shade, and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

    Chicken bacon avocado sandwich
    Kristin C.

    Haven't been to Mississippi Mudds in forever, but can't wait to start revisiting this casual spring/summer spot. We usually go to Old Man River, but lucky for us it wasn't open for the season yet. The interior was super clean and the condiments were organized really well. I ordered the chicken avocado bacon sandwich- the chicken was tender and flavorful. The marinade they used on the chicken is delicious. My husband ordered the turkey burger and we shared the sweet potato fries which had the perfect amount of crisp. Can't wait to go back.

    Mississippi Mudds is always a great spot to go during the summer! Their food always hits the spot and the service is quick and easy. I like that they have a toppings station for you to add as much as you'd like to your hotdogs. There's indoor and outdoor seating with a great breeze and view of the water.

    Mighty Mudd Burger and onion rings.
    Lydia W.

    Delicious and juicy burger. Onion rings were superb, light and not too greasy. Tried their chipotle mayo with my rings and it was the right choice! Service was speedy and the ambiance ideal for that sunny day by the water. Excellent summer spot!

    Anyone have an idea on the prices here. I'm just looking for a simple hotdog and fry combo but the online menu doesnt have prices?

    we spent 21$ last week. had a hamburger, italian sausage and two drinks. i don't know individual item prices.

    Is it open?

    Seasonally. Opens around mid-March and stays open until mid-October

    Did Mississippi Mudds used to be Helf's in the late '60's to early 70's?

    Yes

Over all a vey pleasant visit except for one thing. My wife ordered a double Jack and Coke because she usually drinks slowly and a regular drink gets watered down before she drinks it all. We fully expected to pay more for a double but were kind of surprised that we were charged $16 for her drink and it barely tasted like a regular drink! When she complained to our server that her drink tasted weak she said that she saw the bartender make it a double but that the ice had watered it down. (This was before we got our check and saw we were charged the $16!) Unfortunately this situation clouded our whole experience.

I ended up playing several funny rounds of ad-libs with strangers which totally made the evening. I felt welcomed and comfortable, like I immediately was one of the regulars even my first time there. The beer is great and they have a ton of options including stuff on tap and in cans. Look for the tv on the wall for the list of current beers on tap; it's on the far left side of the bar just above the large front windows. My curly fries and chicken strips were perfection - think of the best possible version of those things and that's what I got here. This came with sides of BBQ sauce, blue cheese dip, and ketchup. I greatly enjoyed my pumpkin ale and would happily drink this again. I appreciate that there are so many vegan options on the menu (not my thing but it's nice to have a place to bring vegan friends!). A surprising very cool thing was the restroom. There is great art all over the walls! Check it out even if you don't need to, you won't regret it. I sat at the bar; there is another room with tables and a pool table and I think I spotted some hidden booths in the back. There are also a few outdoor tables out front. Lighting is pretty dim so if you're going to read a book, choose your seat strategically. General volume is on the louder side. Parking is on the street. I saw that they do trivia on Monday nights; there are a ton of flyers for upcoming events in the front window. Overall this was a very easy place to give five stars to.

I got the vegan Mac n cheese and the chicken tenders with fries. Everything I got wasn't good, the breading on the 'chicken' was disappointing and tasted like old oil. The vegan blue cheese was good surprisingly cuz I don't care for the real thing at all. The fries were fine but the Mac n cheese had absolutely no flavor, my kids said to me that mine was better and they aren't that picky with food elsewhere unless it doesn't taste like anything. For that I'll still be back to try other things cuz I appreciate the effort in making vegan food for us vegans out there.
