    Chicken Parmesan
    Amanda W.

    Had a wonderful night with server James! He was attentive, quickly met all our requests and did it with a smile! We had the whipped feta with pita appetizer! It was so yummy! Naan was very hot and perfectly salty. Cheese has pine nuts and lemon juice, perfect! I had the Fettucine Alfredo with chicken. The sauce was creamy and the pasta was al dente. I ordered the garlic bread which was crunchy and had the perfect amount of butter and garlic. Would definitely return!

    The calamari was rubbery, nothing on this plate was fried crispy.

    The calamari was rubbery, and nothing on this plate was fried crispy. Afterward, I just ordered a salad. Everything was disappointing, and I didn't even want to take a picture. How this place has 4 stars really upset me because I choose my restaurants based on the stars when I'm out of town. This was a real waste of my time. On the positive side, you get free parking while you dine. The service was friendly and kind.

    This place has a great vibe. We went on vacation and basically every where we went was busy and crowded. We caught a lucky break and was able to be seated quickly at a bar table. The server was friendly and very likeable. We did wait a little bit for our food but that was to be expected for a busy night. I ordered the burger on a GF bun and it was a really good burger. Lots of flavor and cooked perfect. My significant other got the fish. I cant remember the type. The salad was delicious and very filling and the fish was really good too. Then for dessert we shared a GF Turtle Cheesecake. It was pretty rich but really good. My son got the kids grilled cheese fingers and fries and since it was his birthday he got a free brownie! They also had really good seltzers at the bar in draft. It was Cottage Springs Rasberry Lemonade and I HIGHLY recommend it!

    Turtle Jack's was great. This was our first restaurant stop as we visited Niagara Falls on spring break for the kids. The service was phenomenal, and the food was above my expectations. I opted for poutine and it was so great. My family also enjoyed their meals as well. There didn't seem to be many weight staff working however we didn't have too long of a wait while being serviced in the restaurant. The fried pickles, calamari, and Alfredo were excellent. Can't wait to visit this place again. Next time we are in Niagara

Service was great! Big restaurant with lots of seating and bar seating.

    We been here over 3 times when visiting Niagara Falls, staff were so friendly so nice. The restaurant was clean and with a ton of seating. We ordered fried calamari with a marie rose sauce, it was tangy and very delicious. We also got the chicken quesadilla which came with pico de gallo and salsa & sour cream, it was the perfect crispness and with the dips it was perfect. We tired the gyoza dumplings that came with a ginger garlic soy sauce. Sweet and tangy. For entrees, we got the chicken fingers with a plum sauce and fries and chicken Alfredo. They have great desserts options. We have tried the buttered tart, the brownie. Everything was great! Everything came out fast and everything was delicious. One of our favorite spots in the area. Would definitely recommend. Will definitely be back if we are visiting again.

    French Dip

    Looked for a decent place to eat at the tourist trap that is Niagara Falls and saw this positively rated spot on yelp, so my friends and I decided to give it a shot and we were pretty pleased. Matt, our server was probably the best part of our experience. He was super friendly and efficient and seemed to really like his job. The restaurant itself is a pretty good spot to watch a game and looks pretty clean and modern, which is surprising, judging by the hotel it's situated in. The food, is what I assume one really cares about and it was good, not great. We ordered a pitcher of sangria for the table and the sangria was not only super refreshing but beautifully displayed with fresh and dried fruits. The alcohol was actually my favorite part of the meal. I ordered a french dip, it was fine. Good but not great and served with fries that were decent enough. My buddy ordered chicken fajitas and the chicken was all white meat that tasted like it was microwaveable. So glad I didn't order that but I of course would avoid ordering Mexican or Mexican adjacent food at a restaurant like this.

    Wow. Great spot right next to the Falls and hotels. Solid bar type food and absolutely hands down the best service and staff anyone could ask for. Highly recommend

    Blood orange margarita and raspberry mojito are amazing. Reasonably priced as well! Everything at the falls is crazy expensive, feels like a great deal!

    French Onion Soup
    Mike S.

    Came into Turtle Jack's when visiting Niagara. I will say one of the main reasons we came here is you could park at the hotel from free if you were eating at Turtle Jack's and parking seemed like a nightmare so this was extremely convenient. Once seated we checked out the menu and they had a little bit of everything as well as your typical bar food. I spotted one of my favorites a classic French Dip so that what I went with. For my side I went with Onion Rings for an up charge. It was also an extra $3 for cheese you of gotta have cheese with a French Dip right? Once our food came out everything looked pretty good. After getting into my French Dip I have to say it was just OK. It came on a baguette but it was kinda stale and dry. It just didn't have the crisp crunch you want from a fresh baguette. The meat inside was a little tough at points too but will say the Au Jus for sure saved it. The onion rings were also pretty good. For the most part everyone agree their food was just OK. I'm not sure I would come again but if you're looking for a place with a lot of options and everyone in your party is looking for something different Turtle Jack's might just be the place for you.

    The brownie sundae looked so delicious we forgot to take a picture before we ate it.

    This restaurant is an absolute gem! We visited to celebrate our birthdays, and had a great experience. The food was phenomenal--both the ribs and the burgers were cooked to perfection and had great flavor. We also tried the brownie sundae for dessert, and it was so moist and had delicious toffee bits and rich ice cream with it. Our server, Claudia, was outstanding. She was incredibly attentive, sweet, and went above and beyond to make our birthdays feel truly special. She added a lot to make it a great experience. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming (the perfect spot to get out of the cold!) I can't recommend Turtle Jack's enough--if you're looking for amazing food, exceptional service, and a great vibe, this is the place to be!

So when I found myself on a recent Tuesday afternoon, I figured I'd better finally stop in. I showed up around 4:30 and the bar was already pretty packed, but luckily for me a couple of people were just leaving and freeing up a spot at the end. Score! I wound up taking advantage of the Happy Hour and grabbing a pint of a very tasty lager. I figured I should probably also have a bite, so I decided to go with the very affordable Taco ("cabbage, chipotle aioli, cilantro, onion, lime") and I got the Marinated Steak option. It's a decent taco. The chipotle aioli is quite tasty and zesty, and the other components, including a very fresh-tasting tortilla, are just as good. The meat was a little questionable, however, as it had a vaguely unpleasant flavor I couldn't quite put my finger on. Still, it was a cheap snack that I ate quite quickly. I can definitely see why the Wheat Sheaf Tavern has been around so long. The vibe was very welcoming and the bartender was super nice. I'll definitely return.
