    Pastrami melt
    Gillian A.

    Me: I'll take a pastrami melt. Guy at cashier: ooooo that's a good one!!! We need more hypemen/hypewomen behind cashiers lol makes me confident that I'm ordering correctly! And he was right. The pastrami is made in house and it was super tender in the melt. Tasty and not too salty. Light airy-toasty sandwich bread. A bit too heavy-handed on the brown mustard though but not a dealbreaker. Kettle chips were a little cold but I still enjoyed their crispiness. Snappy pickle wedge. Altogether it was a pretty satisfying meal. Easily sharable for two not-super-hungry people! As for other things that I tried here, the everything bagel was overly-toasted tough and was rather thin. Chocolate chip cookie was scrumptiously chewy in the center and crispy on the edges. Iced coffee tasted standard. 4-ish stars for the food/drink but with such a lovely staff this place gets an overall 5.

    A little gem in an otherwise kind of run-down, casino dominated part of town. Plenty of space inside for small groups, with relatively simple decor. They have a breakfast menu til 11am and a lunch menu after. Really solid sandwiches. My wife and I went halfsies on a reuben and a chicken salad sandwich. We got the best of both worlds: The reuben was crunchy and toasted whereas the chicken salad had much softer, chewier feel. Both were stuffed with meat, so nice and filling. Each came with a side of chips that seemed home-made. My toddler is really into soup so she tried a ham and kale minestrone type soup. It was a very heart bowl and made for a good kid meal (plus the chips she stole from me!). All in all a very nice lunch spot.

    Super friendly staff and amazing food. Perfect lunch spot after a long day of walking. Everything was so fresh and tasted homemade.

    Reuben Lunch Sandwich with soup and house made chips

    This is a little quaint eatery that has the painting of Tesla on the outside. It has a coffeehouse feel with the delicatessen taste. I picked the Reuben on Sourdough and the bowl of Turkey and bean soup. I was ecstatic that they offered Coke Zero in the bottle since many other local places only had Diet Coke. That being said, the Reuben sandwich was good, but not great. It came with home made chips that were cold and soggy. They kept them in a box on the front counter near a clear plexiglass barrier. The soup was in a very small cup and for $6.00 I would have hoped for a better sample. The flavor was ok, but nothing to rave about. Now the worst part, I'm not sure if anyone in food service nowadays understands the concept of food safety. I watched the lady that made my food, take out her cell phone multiple times with her food prep gloves on and go from the phone in the pocket to preparing food plates. The other younger girl did the same thing, but worse, she used the dish rag to clean tables and counter, grabbers her phone to check and then took bread from the shelf and place them in bags. They never changed their gloves and continued to prepare food as they switched from personal items and food items. I'm amazed I didn't get sick, This is the worse case of cross contamination seen in a while. I also believe the owner, a man, watched it all and then took the bread from the you girl and left the store. I won't be back and I hope they make changes to their food handling procedures. The gloves are for customers protection, not to keep the prepares hands clean.

    Amazing local sandwich shop! Wonderful ambiance and energy. Service was helpful, accommodating, and competent! Definitely hope it's still here next time I visit Niagara! The food itself was excellent quality of ingredients, made to order with brisk service, and wonderful flavors without over complicating. In short, done right!

    Pre-reheated thanksgiving meal for 2-$50. So much food, very flavorful!!!
    Stephanie G.

    Ordered another Thanksgiving pre-fix meal this year and it was just as delicious as I remember! It's a great value--tons of food for $50. It's really easy for when I fly in to Buffalo for American Thanksgiving but then go to Canada to be with family... but it's not Thanksgiving in Canada on the same day so we just take Thanksgiving across the boarder and have a lovely meal! Soon I'll move to Canada and will cook my own Thanksgiving meal but until then I'll happily support this local business and enjoy theirs!

    Gnocchi says thank you!

    We traveled to Niagara Falls with our little corgi and stopped by this restaurant to eat at 1 pm. The trip was long and our little corgi was a little stressed out and wouldn't eat her dog food. We knew that one thing she reliably eats is eggs. We asked the restaurant for some eggs. Despite the fact that it was past breakfast hour, they still kindly scrambled an egg for us and gave it to us for free. So our corgi baby had something to eat, and she was very happy and grateful.

    Had an amazing bagel w/ honey jalapeño cream cheese & a mocha that was great ! Not burnt ! The atmosphere is chill & the service friendly- def a step up from Starbucks ! Support local !

    Our experience was really good! They're offering a limited menu due to coronavirus. They did accept our phone in order and they have excellent indoor and outdoor seating. The veggie sandwich was so good!! If you say "goat cheese", then I am in! Plus some portobello mushrooms, spinach and pesto? Um, yes please. Their chips are unique and delicious. They tasted homemade and super crispy, like kettle chips.

This one popped up on my radar and I thought I'm going to go check it out. Located in a home Depot shopping center, it was pretty easy to find. Upon entering the place, it had a very cheery bright atmosphere. I was able to grab myself a table and take a seat. Robin, my server, was there in a heartbeat to grab me some coffee. The coffee itself is very tasty, they have a fairly comprehensive menu, and had plenty of options. One thing I was actually stunned about was the low prices. A breakfast of two eggs, bacon and home fries was only $6.99. I jumped in and ordered a couple upgrades including a pancake on the side and the peameal bacon. Again, this was one of the most amazing meals I've had. I had never experienced this type of bacon before, and now I am absolutely hooked. Everything overall was cooked perfectly. Seasoned excellently and I can't say enough nice things about this place. Service was on point, food and atmosphere was all there. Bottom line? I will definitely be hitting this place again, and you should too. I was told that it gets pretty busy and sometimes can be a line out the door so get there early, or just be prepared to hang out for a while.

Pretty easy to find, you can't miss the rustic looking exterior with the blind pig in huge letters on top. There's a decent amount of parking, but I'll bet when this place gets busy it's tougher to find a spot. When you walk inside, the interior is very well kept and has a rustic bar-like feel to it, plenty of bar and high top seating as well as booths. I decided to order an iced tea. Something I've noticed about Canada, iced tea is usually a sweetened drink. Not like iced tea you get in the states. So just be aware of that if you're looking to get some iced tea. Regardless, it was very tasty and hit the spot perfectly. One thing I like about this place is they have a bunch of different specials throughout the week, the day I went the special was the brisket sandwich and side salad for $13.99 Canadian. I upgraded to the Caesar salad, and also ordered a side of KFC, or Korean fried Chicken for those of you in the know. Let me tell you something about that. KFC, absolutely delicious! How can you go wrong with fried chicken thighs with Korean BBQ sauce? You can't, that's what I'm telling you! The brisket sandwich was really really good, albeit just a tad dry. But I'm not deducting any points for that. It was absolutely delicious and worth every penny. Service was great, friendly staff, and everything came out as expected. Bottom line? I will definitely be back for that brisket sandwich. They also had some other specials so I guess I'm going to need to spend an entire week here and just eat my life away at the blind pig.

    YELP TOP REVIEWER ALERT: Sometimes the best restaurants are the ones hiding in plain sight!…read more Since this was our last day in Niagara Falls, Canada, we wanted to find a nice breakfast restaurant close to our hotel. We were specifically looking for a buffet-style breakfast, and that's when we stumbled upon what I now consider a true hidden gem--the Secret Garden Restaurant! And let me tell you, the name couldn't be more appropriate. We entered the restaurant by walking down some stairs that led directly into the Secret Garden souvenir shop. At first, I thought, "Okay...did we come here for breakfast or shopping?" But the restaurant is actually tucked away in the rear of the souvenir shop. Once we found it, we discovered a very clean, neat, well-organized restaurant with a warm and inviting atmosphere. They even have outdoor seating for those who enjoy eating their breakfast with a little fresh air. When we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Ms. Marigold, the hostess. She was extremely welcoming and polite and escorted us to our section, where we met our server, Ms. Zoe. Ms. Zoe was an absolute sweetheart--friendly, polite, kind, and always wearing a beautiful smile. She promptly brought us water and coffee and then gave us the menu and plenty of time to decide what we wanted. No rushing us, no "Are you ready yet?" pressure. Just good old-fashioned hospitality. And then came the important part...BREAKFAST! I ordered the Garden Omelet ($21.99) with turkey bacon ($6.99) and wheat toast. We also ordered one egg with Canadian bacon and white toast ($18.99). Now, let's talk about that coffee! The coffee was excellent. The aroma alone brought back memories of my parents sitting together in the morning enjoying their coffee. You know a cup of coffee is good when it doesn't just wake you up--it takes you on a little trip down Memory Lane. The Garden Omelet was well-seasoned, flavorful, and very tasty, and the wheat toast was just as good. Everything came together for a very satisfying breakfast. Our food was brought out by Ms. Ashley, another very sweet young lady with a warm smile. It was obvious that the friendliness we experienced wasn't just a one-person thing--it seemed to be part of the culture of this restaurant. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Mr. Mike, and what a real gentleman he is. You can tell a lot about a restaurant by the way the employees treat their customers, and Mr. Mike has clearly set a wonderful example. His employees seem to follow his leadership and have embraced his warm interpersonal skills and genuine hospitality. By the time we finished breakfast, I found myself thinking, "How in the world did we not know about this place sooner?" If you're visiting Niagara Falls, Canada, and you're looking for a clean, welcoming, friendly place for breakfast, do yourself a favor and look for this little hidden gem. Visit the Secret Garden Restaurant. You won't regret it! My only regret? I wish we had discovered this hidden gem sooner! Sometimes the best discoveries aren't the ones you plan for--they're the ones you accidentally find while walking through a souvenir shop looking for breakfast!

    What a great restaurant/cafe. Right across the street from the river, with a patio view that has a…read morewonderful view of both sets of falls, it's a lovely place for a coffee or meal--especially breakfast or brunch. We had a lovely server who was anticipatory of our needs and patient while we took overly-long to order due to being distracted by the views. The food was good (but nothing special or Michelin-starred); but the overall vibe is tremendous, and not nearly as corporate or neon-lights as the rest of Niagara has become. Will absolutely revisit.

I thought I'm going to have to check this place out for myself. So here's what I discovered. The food is okay, not amazing but just okay. Probably the lowest priced breakfast I have seen in Niagara Falls. They do not offer you free water, it's all bottled. Coffee is 4 bucks, which is pretty standard. I think the modus operandi is this: they get you in with the cheap buffet and then up charge you for anything else you want to order. Which I get, the buffet is always a loss leader, and they get you on the drinks which are marked up significantly. So let's talk about the buffet itself. Based on what I read from the other reviews, the hot ticket would be to get there right when it opens. That way the food has just come out, it's fresh and hot, and there is enough of it. I had the eggs, the sausage, and a piece of French toast and a waffle. I did go back for seconds to get a bowl of fruit, and try out the tater tots. The food was okay. Again, not the greatest I've ever had and not the worst I've ever had. It was a perfunctory breakfast. But again I tell you you need to get the right when they open to get the best stuff. Would I go here again? I don't think so. There are plenty of other places in Niagara Falls that are way better for just a little bit more money. However, if you have a group of people you're trying to feed on the cheap, this is a place to go. Case in point while I was there, two busloads of Mennonites came in and swarmed the buffet. Bottom line? It's a cheap breakfast, and you will walk out of there for under 20 bucks if you just have a coffee.
