    Inside

    Came in for a root beer float on a hot summer day and got a fabulous one! It was pretty busy, but we easily found seating. The store layout itself is a little odd, but I really didn't mind. 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! Very busy inside and could use some tidying up. 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.

    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. The decor reminded me of 1950's style fast food, yet they had modern touches like touch-screen ordering. The restaurant is right on bus routes #40 and #77 with a stop right outside the restaurant.

    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. This location in the falls is clean. 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It's neat. It's got some nostalgia. 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 am so upset and disappointed at this establishment. Not only did we wait forever and pay way too much, there was glass in my daughter's root beer float!!!! There was one employee that couldn't be bothered and I was so upset about this we left to go get her checked out! The mug was frosted and had icecream on top but when she noticed something hard in her mouth we investigated and saw it was glass from a chipped mug! the one woman employee was so overwhelmed and couldn't care less! I am getting in touch with the owner concerning this! My daughter is traumatized and I am livid!

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

    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.

    While staying in the area I looked at reviews for something decent and came across this place -…read moreGetting there around noon on a weekday, they were rather busy, so I sat at the bar and within a few minutes it was completely packed at the bar. Service from the bartender was great. He offered up some suggestions, which I needed because they have a large menu loaded with so many appetizing and amazing looking options. I started with their potstickers... They came out with a hard, fried shell and the dipping sauce went nicely with them. Enough to share, or even enough to enjoy and still have room for an entrée. My main dish was their Chicken & Waffle. This isn't some ordinary chicken and waffle, it's definitely an amped up version, made with unique and interesting ingredients, culminating in great flavors! The chicken was so large and very tender - it was amazing! The bacon and sauce on top went with it nicely, and the chive waffle was great with it! Each bite was definitely amazing! This was a great experience, I can see why they have so many reviews and such high stars, those are well-deserved stars!! Definitely recommend stopping in here!

    Service Food…read more Ambiance I had a lovely first-time dining experience at an American restaurant near Niagara Falls on a quiet Monday morning. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, which made it even more enjoyable. I ordered fried calamari along with single chicken wings tossed in an Asian sweet and spicy sauce--both dishes were flavorful and satisfying. The combination of crispy textures and bold flavors really stood out. What made the experience even better was the service. Our server was amazing--attentive, friendly, and truly great at her job. She made us feel welcome from the start. I always enjoy trying new places, and this visit did not disappoint. If you're looking for an American restaurant near Niagara Falls, this is definitely worth trying. We ended the meal with a delicious dessert,which was the perfect sweet finish to a great experience.
