Onion Rings
Jay L.

Onion rings were great burger wasn't bad. I only wish they had asked about the root-bear. I no longer have a location near me and I wanted som real a and w not a fountain drink. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff was friendly and place was cleaner than many fast food places these days.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Inside

Came in for a root beer float on a hot summer day and got a fabulous one! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pretty busy, but we easily found seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store layout itself is a little odd, but I really didn't mind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love lots of ice cream in my root beer floats and the person who made mine did a perfect job crafting it! I will defiantly be back again in the future for some more root beer floats.

Decent experience at A&W while visiting Niagara for the weekend. Love that it's open late and was walking distance from our holiday inn hotel. Had a root beer float in the frosty mug, and the food was hot! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very busy inside and could use some tidying up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also no one seems to speak English that works there. Why don't the milkshakes come in a frosty mug?? That was literally why we went!

Perfect crunch popcorn shrimp.
Jim G.

The sign in the window lured me in with "Shrimp & Fish." I love "popcorn" shrimp and haven't had good ones since the Crab Shack closed on Maple Rd in Amherst. You get 30 shrimp and they're really good. My only quibble is the Heinz cocktail sauce is too sweet. I'm used to something more robust, like Millers. I plan to return but bring my own bottle of Miller's. That will be a real treat! The staff was very nice - made me feel welcome. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor reminded me of 1950's style fast food, yet they had modern touches like touch-screen ordering.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The restaurant is right on bus routes #40 and #77 with a stop right outside the restaurant.

Original bacon cheesburger
Michele M.

I lived in California for 4 years and A &W was a staple in my life. They definitely have good burgers. The chili fries is my favorite and go to. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location in the falls is clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered from door dash for pick up. My food was not ready at the assigned time, took about another 15 minutes. I was told only one cook for the day. There were mistakes to my order. But again there burgers are well, fries are delicious. Wish they work on the buns. All our buns fell apart, luckily we had buns at home and had to re-assemble our burgers. I also do love there spicy A&W sauce. Little pricey for the value of food. Didnt hate, but don't love.

Double burger combo.
Michael D.

Was excited to come here for the burgers and a root beer float but was not impressed. Spent $45 for two regular burger combos, a double bacon cheeseburger and a root beer float. Everything tasted just ok, not spectacular. The soda fountain had a no ice and the kid's lemonade tasted like sugar water. No paper towels in the bathroom was also a concern. Service was friendly. All around this A & W was just ok.

Double Cheeseburger with fries and a drink.
Joe T.

The food was fast and the service was very friendly. I know the restaurant is new but it's been open a few months now and is still very clean. My only gripe is the price. Just like every other fast food place it's very expensive. I ordered a double cheeseburger meal and a fish sandwich meal for my wife and it came to $29 and some change. I'd definitely go back if I was in the neighborhood.

Root beer float
Sonya L.

We literally came here just for root beer floats. Having had these many years ago from other A&W locations, we were disappointed by the root beer float we received. We told them we were dining in, so we could get a frosted mug, like we've done in the past. But when we got our order it was in a paper cup. Then when we tried our drink, there was something off about it. The root beer had no flavor and our float tasted mostly like ice cream. We finished our float and left disappointed. Root beer float that doesn't taste like root beer. I guess the positive is that the soft serve they use was good. Maybe we just got a bad batch.

Jiachen Z.

It costs me a lot to have such a meal. We ordered lots of stuff. Tender chicken, hotdog, hamburgers, fries etc. however we are just starving and it is the only restaurant open around the corner.

Katie M.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It's neat. It's got some nostalgia.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can get a root beer float or you can get a mug or a full meal. They even have cheese curds. It's walkable from the falls - about 10 min - and on a main street that is well lit, if waking at night. The staff were nice and it's well lit. Prices reasonable too.

I love this location, and the restaurant is inside of an old souvenir shop with a cool design.
L A.

This establishment opened just this week and considering that - they're doing very well. The service was great, cashier gave me exactly what I asked for and didn't try to upsell on anything. Place was super busy but everyone seemed to get their food quickly, there was a good mood in the air. Nice atmosphere. Parking might be tough for drivers as it's located in a high traffic tourism area but I'm sure you can use any of the nearby hotel or casino parking lots. As a local I'll keep supporting this place, I'm really hoping that it sticks around.

Root beer floats are REALLY good because the ratio of the sugar and carbonation is different than what you would get at a generic store.

When I walked in the walls were filled with pictures of the food and fun art. There was also music videos playing on a TV which was awesome to watch while I waited for my food to be ready. I ordered the Traditional Poutine and the Bacon Cheeseburger poutine. The cashier was so friendly and patient while I asked a few questions. Once it was ready it was HOT and overflowing. The traditional was really good. I personally would've liked less gravy, but I think most people would've loved how much they gave. As for the bacon cheeseburger, I felt like the beef could've been more seasoned, but the bacon and cheese covered fries hit the spot. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and it was so filling I couldn't even finish it all.

If you're visiting Niagara Falls and craving a true Canadian comfort food experience, make a stop at Smoke's Poutinerie. The portions are generous, the fries are crispy, the cheese curds are fresh, and the rich gravy ties everything together perfectly. With so many creative topping combinations, there's something for everyone--even butter chicken poutine... we didn't try that ... they have something for the classic poutine lovers to adventurous foodies. The service was quick and friendly, making it an easy choice for a satisfying meal after exploring the Falls. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a delicious, filling bite!

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.

Amazing and friendly staff, Young lady that took our order…read morewas really nice! We came today and got different items Everything tasted fresh. Poutine was very nice the curds squeak Big +.

When I came through Niagara falls last year driving to my hotel I kept seeing fat bastard burrito…read morecompany, the name made me laugh and I thought why not check it out. Plenty of parking, so I made my way inside the building. The outdoor signage is super bright and bold. You absolutely cannot miss it. Inside looks like your standard walk-up counter, but all the ingredients are on display so you know exactly what you're getting. I opted for a chicken and shredded beef combo burrito. And then you get to watch them put it together. First, they grill the tortilla, and then loaded up with all the goodies, cilantro, peppers, everything you want in a burrito beans, lettuce and then they put the meat on top which I thought was a very nice touch. Touch. Then you add your hot sauces and they wrap that thing up. Grill it again to get a nice brown char on the outside and put it in a bag for you to take home. I got to tell you, is one of the best damn burritos I've had in a long time. The meat was cooked perfectly, the hot sauce was just spicy enough to give it a kick and I loved every minute of this burrito. I will definitely be checking this out again. Bottom line? If you are in the market for a burrito, and why wouldn't you be, this is definitely a place you want to go check out. Fat bastard burrito company is definitely in my top five for getting a burrito when I'm in Canada.
