    Homemade spices

    Takeout only. In the words of AJ himself, "When I cook, I go all out." And honestly, he really does. The man makes his own chips, his own cheese, his own hot sauce--basically everything but the oxygen, and I'm not totally convinced he's not working on that too. I'm already planning my next visit. And yes, I couldn't help but notice the menu has some serious Stack Burger energy--which checks out, since AJ helped build that spot before branching off and taking on the challenge himself. Also, the 90s vibe in his takeout spot? Immaculate. It's like stepping into a time machine, but with way better food and no dial-up internet noises.

    Extreme grilled cheese burger

    Thank you AJ's for hosting this month's nacho themed event. AJ's is located in a small plaza and there is no seating available. This is definitely a pick up spot. The prices are very reasonable and they offer weekly/daily specials. AJ's offered a sample of their birria nachos for this event. In addition to that, we purchased the extreme grilled cheese burger and their turkey club special. The tortilla chips were very good and tasted homemade. The birria meat was very good as well but I didnt care for the liquid cheese. It was a bit too artificial tasting. The nachos would've been great with real queso. The burger was pretty good but it tasted like it was fried with margarine and the flavor was a bit overwhelming. Other than that, the burger was full of melted cheese and didn't lack seasoning. I was a bit disappointed with the turkey club because they used mostly dark meat from a roasted turkey and I'm more of a white meat girl (at least with turkey). The sandwich itself was good other than that. Thanks again brandon for sponsoring this event for us!

    I participated in YELPs Nachovember by visiting AJ's kitchen. He offered a special birria nacho for the event. AJ was very happy to offer the nachos, which were pretty good. I personally don't care for the liquid type cheese sauce, but the beef was very good. It was a well run event and I was happy to find this little spot.

    What a great find! Worth the drive from Buffalo. And no disappointment. If you notice some wrestling terms, it's because AJ used to ... what do we say? Perform? Participate? Anyway, it's why my chicken parm was called a slamwich. Lots of interesting slamwiches and burgers! Turkey poutine is on the November specials board. As is a burger named The Gobbler. See photos and read about the Gobbler and admit you want one. But only until the end of the month. Take out and delivery. Intimate waiting area with 3 or 4 stools and a small table with 2 chairs for waiting comfort. Enjoy the photos. That's what I did while waiting ***AJ will fry your turkey. Only a couple spaces left.

    The Hangover

    We stopped in for the Yelp event and decided to buy the Hangover burger to go. It's a burger topped by a hash brown potato, a fried egg, bacon and "smack sauce". It was very good.

    I stopped in for the Yelp Nachovember event and was really pleased. I had never heard of this place before, but it's very close to the thruway, and super easy to get to. There's not really a space to eat, just a bar to wait for your order, but the guy behind the counter greeted me when I walked in and was very nice. He got right to work on my nachos, and they didn't take much time at all. I also ordered a hot chocolate to go. Everything was hot even when I got it home, and it was delicious. The nachos had a good bit of meat on it, and a little bit of kick, but not enough to be oppressive. The hot chocolate was actually fantastic, rich and creamy. I didn't even know this restaurant way there, but I am going to keep it in mind for sure.

    Great visit today! The yelp berria nachos were awesome and I was excited to learn chef AJ was the owner of stack burger. I loved stack burger so that was good to know but I was unaware they closed. Good to know he's around to share his good food! The nachos were great and we decided to try his special turkey sandwich and burger. Both came with real hand carved turkey not lunch meat with a yummy jalapeño cranberry sauce. It was delicious and I should have asked for more! I will definitely be back for more yummy food. Prices were awesome especially in this day and age. He has a few places to sit and eat quickly but it's mostly designed to be take out. There's enough parking outside as well but if a few too many people got there at the same time it could definitely get crowded. Glad we visited!

    Aj's was great! I stopped in for their birria nacho special. I was allowed to substitute turkey since I don't eat red meat. That alone was awesome! They nachos were amazing! I decided to order the hot rings which were perfectly coated and fried. The smack sauce goes well with them. I also got the pollo loco sandwich. I loved all of the peppers on the grilled chicken, but would definitely add extra sauce since the bun is thick. Very small inside, but Aj is so nice! Service was quick even though it was busy.

    We were in town for one night and liked it so much we had lunch the next day. Burgers are great, but the various options for wings are top notch. There is a very small counter area with stools and a folding table with chairs outside. Primarily this is a to-go food location. They seem to make most of their sauces in-house.

    Chopped cheese
    Michele M.

    Flavor bomb! Stopped in for a yelp event, providing birra nachos, and ordered a rodeo burger and chopped cheese as well. The birra nachos were so good! The birra was amazingly flavorful, and I believe he seasoned the nachos as well, because every bite from start to finish was delicious. Normally you get nachos and the balance is off, not these! The service was great super friendly and fast. Think is was less than 15 minutes from order to get the hot food! Small place, take out only, BUT there was nothing small about the taste and flavors. The Rodeo burger was absolutely a 11 out of 10! I see why they won best smash burgers. The brown sugar loganberry BBQ sauce on the Rodeo was soooooo good, could of drank it alone! Burger cooked perfectly. By far top five burger in the area! The chopped cheese didn't disappoint either! Again AJ knows flavor and seasoning! The steak was delicious on a nice roll, full of flavor and cheesy goodness! I can't wait go back and try other items!

    Cowboy steak sandwich

    Best thing I ate in a few weeks. Ordered the cowboy sandwich, wife had the bacon and blue sandwich and we shared fried pickles. Not greasy like the one I had at Jim's last week. Delicious flavor, cheesy and hot even after driving home. Definitely will be back. What a gem of a place. I would have never known until it was recommend by another patron.

    Just family supporting family!

Massive menu of burgers, spanning a range of style from thick to smash, flames to griddle, and even typed of meat or non-meat. Quite frankly, if you can't find a burger that calls to you here, you must be very difficult to please. It was a Sunday, and the general area was thumping, this place was about half full and the vibe was relaxed. They're not on the absolutely main drag of Clifton Hill, and honestly, I would hope that benefits them both in price of rent and who might find it easy to wander in. There is paid parking nearby, cheaper than most because to get down to the falls is a bit of a hike. The hike back will be pretty far uphill, but we made it no problem. I love that the sodas come in a giant measuring cup, not much need for a refill, but they do give them complimentary if you ask for one. We started with standard poutine as an appetizer, it was really tasty. Nice flavor on the gravy, and a large amount of cheese curds. Instead of getting more fries as a side, went for a caesar salad. Was surprised to see bacon on it, but I definitely didn't hate that. It was quite good. I got a double smash burger with a nice thick onion ring on it and their version of burger sauce, as well as a spice relish to kick things up a notch. First thing, my patties were smashed very nicely, and there was a clear crispy crust on them. Bravo, I was pretty impressed, and the flavor was robust. I loved the spicy relish, and the bun also complemented the meat well. It was a big burger, and I was thoroughly satisfied. The service, maybe could have been slightly more attentive, but really just took awhile to take our order. Once it was taken, we had no complaints. Very friendly, everything was accurate, and like I said... big drink cups means not a ton of need for refills. I would come back here again on a future visit to the falls.

Parking and Main Street is extremely difficult due to the popularity of these places so we parked down behind the store in a large community parking lot and walked up through the alley to the front door.

If only those people out on the street knew what they were missing, they would give up their spot in line and join us at this great little restaurant instead! 189 Burger is well known for its expansive beer menu, but we were only interested in the burgers. I was intrigued by the description of the Bang Bang Burger. It came topped with Bang Bang sauce, cheddar cheese and Calabrian butter and crispy onions. Absolutely delicious!

We ordered the Cheesecake burger and the Horseshoe popper burger, both of which were absolutely fantastic. Got to have a conversation with the owner who, perhaps even more important than the service or the quality of the meal, has a serious passion for what he does.
