    Service was good. Food was mediocre. I was really excited about this place because of reviews from others with food allergies. They were great about that, if it wasn't clearly listed, they brought out a whole book for us to review. They have gluten free buns and offerings. The bun is decent. There were 5 of us and we each got a different type of burger, but they were all pretty dry. We realized as we were eating it that they didn't ask what temperature we wanted them cooked at. They made the assumption of medium/medium well. We felt they were overcooked. The fries were just ok. We were disappointed. There are a lot of flavor combinations and options. The drinks come in Pyrex measuring cups which was funny.

    Food is amazingly good. The place is spotless Service is marvelous even when we have a trainee server.. a shout-out for our amazing servers, Tammy and Brielle. Very polite and attentive to us.

    Tourist restaurant def! But that's what you get in walking distance of Niagara Falls Canada. Very nice $$ burger. But as you can see, i didn't take a pic of my burger... the bathroom signs made me laugh! Note. . Side salad is an option with the burger, instead of fries. And the onion rings were awesome. Nice and crispy with ONION in them! Just a bit pricey for a burger, but i expected it!

    Located at the end of the Clifton Hills, the Works when I visited on a Saturday early afternoon, wasn't popping. It was a mellow vibe around 1pm when my group of 3 came. Which allowed for a more intimate experience with the servers. They were on top of it and constantly checking in and explaining to us the menu etc. especially since we are from out of town. The ambiance was chill. Plenty of seating from booths to high tops to low tops. Handful of tvs as well. Even though it was only 40% filled, there was a line for the bathroom the entire time. I definitely don't think it was an amazing burger but it was up there as pretty tasty. They have a great selection of burgers. I felt like about 40% of the burgers seemed interesting and the other 60 percent felt pretty average / similar to each other with one or two ingredients added or subtracted. One person in my group went with poutine which was okay. Lots of fries but the fries were a bit overcooked. And I shared a burger. We went with the Sexy burger which had Sweet & tangy sauce, grilled pineapple, cream cheese & banana peppers. The banana peppers and cream cheese really put it over the top. Pretty happy with my choice. If it wasn't that, we would have went with the Son of a Beech which has Avocado, Beechhouse sauce, sundried tomato & feta cheese or the Get Elk'd which has Signature Elk patty topped with Havarti cheese, house-made maple bacon jam, crunchy onion strings, W sauce and lettuce. The chips we got (you can choose between a variety of different potatoes) was oversalted and a bit overcooked. We had two tap beers (which can come in 18oz, 21oz, and 58oz jugs) and a loganberry seltzer which was really refreshing.

    This place was great! The waitress was super friendly and helped answer all of our questions. The onion rings were great and we tried the s'mores burger! It was unique for sure! Love how over the top this place is. The water was served in glass measuring cups!

    Our first day exploring downtown Clifton Hill, and there are so many great options. We were looking for a casual lunch setting, and we had time to relax and enjoy a long lunch. We stopped in The Works and were seated right away. The interior has eye catching decor and feels like a great pub spot. We all enjoyed our entrees, and although bottomless fries sound amazing, we were so full from the first round. Definitely a nice burger place and lots of variety. Our waitress gave great suggestions and checked in on us often. The staff brought our food out timely, and everything was accurate and hot. Flavor profiles and spicy food was perfect! Thank you for an enjoyable afternoon.

    Once again, Yelp helped us find a great spot in what seemed like a decent food desert! The Niagara Fallas area is very touristy, and we were looking for a more relaxing spot with good food. The Works was perfect. Both burgers were juicy and freshly prepared even though the restaurant wasn't crowded. Our server was absolutely lovely! She was so friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a hearty meal near the Falls, it's worth the extra block or two walk to get to The Works!

    SO good!!!!!!! The Elk burger was scrumptious! I enjoyed the fries and the servers are nice!

    Poutine fries. with curds
    Jamie S.

    Ambiance was 10 out of 10. Super cute! Service was great. The server was very attentive without hovering. Food- darn it! Kind of meh. We paid $23.07 for a burger that was quite a bit over cooked. For that money, maybe you can serve a non frozen and ask how the customer would like it cooked. The poutine fries carried a $3.38 up charge, which I wouldn't habe minded but for the price of this bill, maybe layer the curds and gravy? At least give the illusion of trying to elevate the experience. Then it would have been worth the price tag. Would I come again? No. But it's adorable. That's about it.

    Just a regular burger. I forgot what topic she got but they're all named something different. I'm sure you can adjust to what you want.

    They were busy when our party of four arrived but we were promptly seated. It's not that big of a dining room but it was cosy. We were seated at a table that was next to the big open window. It was like eating on a covered patio. I was afraid that I wouldn't finish my meal so I ordered a salad and had half of my husband's chicken burger/ sandwich. We took my cousins kid and her friend with us and one had a burger and the other had a breaded chicken patty. Each dish looked fresh and appetizing. Everyone seemed to like their food. I had half of the chicken sandwich and a quarter of the burger. They were juicy and full of flavor. The poutine was better than I expected. I don't think I would eat it more than once while in Canada but you have to at least try it. It's kinda like have fried mash potatoes with cheese curds.

    Burgers, Sweet potatoes etc.

    What an amazing restaurant! Its was our first time and we believe it was the greatest burgers we never ate ! The waitresses were really kind and everything was delicious! We recommend! We went there 2 times the same day! The ambiance was good.

    4 since the burgers could be a little bit better. And may be I made the wrong choice on the multiple options they had, but I have had the same burger at other places that tastes better. We also went on a Very busy labor day weekend lunch. There was no wait and the server was very polite. The theme of the decor was what made me feel really good! I would definitely recommend people visit here for lunch if they are visiting the falls.

    Poutine with bacon!

    Fun restaurant. Had a fun server but not very attentive due to large number of guests and few staff. We really loved the poutine (they have quite a few options) and the recommendations by our server (the Tom Green and Sexy Burger) were packed with flavors. Appreciated their diversity and uniqueness with the menu, just wish service had been more prompt and available.

    We went during a Monday afternoon, which was probably the best time since we were seeking a "family…read morefriendly" lunch spot. There were more than a few day drinkers hanging around the bar and patio, but no one seemed inebriated. To be honest, though, I probably wouldn't bring my kids here on a Friday or Saturday night. It was obvious we weren't locals and even more obvious we were there to eat (not drink), but I did not feel at all uncomfortable or out of place. Our server (a blond barkeep) was super duper nice. She was friendly, pleasant, and chatty. She definitely enhanced our visit! And the food was totally awesome! It was our first time having poutine and I'm not sure it was standard (it had shredded cheese instead of cheese curds) but it was delicious! Like really really really good. The burger was juicy and thick. The fries were totally yummy. Kid #1 said the chicken parm sandwich was good, and I thoroughly enjoyed my Philly cheesesteak. The prices were totally reasonable, too! Definitely a bargain considering the decent price for excellent food! For sure we'd visit Cool Hand Luke's again!

    Reasonable prices, a lot better than those down on the tourist end of the strip. Extremely friendly…read moreand welcoming staff. Large portion sizes, that just happened to be delicious as well. They boast having the best wings in the city and after having them, I think they are probably right because they would be really hard to beat. P.s. The Jack Daniels bottle chandelier was awesome!

    I grew up 22 blocks from the original White Spot in Vancouver, and have fond memories of eating at…read morethat White Spot (and others) for most of my life. (A particularly fond memory is sitting in the car with my brother after we had ordered through the car hop service at the former Granville House, listening to Dr. Bundolo's Pandemonium Medicine Show on CBC, and seeing the tray swaying up and down because we were laughing so hard the car was shaking.) That is, until I moved to Ontario, because White Spot is a B.C.-only kind of place. Since then, they have spun out Triple O's. You can find them in Alberta, Ontario, and even Hong Kong. Triple O's is a kind of mini-White Spot, but it's actually sort of the "best of" from the White Spot I remember: burgers, fish and chips, and shakes (minus the "Chicken Pick'ns", which, sadly, have also disappeared from White Spot's menu). White Spot still offers those dishes, plus a bunch of more upscale fare, and dining at White Spot is no longer affordable. Now, it's the kind of place you go for special occasions (unless money is no object). And, sadly, Triple O's is also at the top end of pricing for fast food joints. But still, for this homesick B.C. boy, chowing down on a Legendary burger took me back. It's still as good as I remember. But, to be fair to those who didn't grow up with White Spot, it may just come across as good, but overpriced.
