Overall, the food was well-portioned, and cooked well. We could tell that the ingredients were fresh, and that the chef took his/her time to cook the meal, as the eggs were cooked completely through. Considering the prices that we had paid, we were stuffed, and didn't have to eat until later on in the evening. The food did take long though, and we had to wait in-line for a bit to pay for the bill. Service was good, as the waitress came to check on us a few times during our meal. Overall, a great place to start the day!

After visiting the falls over on the Canadian Border, as a visitor from the U.S., I had to find…read moresomewhere to get my poutine fix. Discovering Niko's Place was the foodie equivalent of witnessing the majestic Niagara Falls. And Niko's more than delivered on both food and service. Located on a street with a small dirt parking lot in a small building, you would have no idea the food treasures you are about to unpack. With just a couple of larger picnic benches and one table with a few seats inside, it's small venue a bit subject to the weather. But even with the heat on this particular day, Niko and his wife were so friendly and kind. From being patient because we didn't have Canadian dollars ready (This place is cash only! But there is an ATM nearby), to friendly chatter and smiles, you can tell they love what they do. As for the food, we went a little crazy and ordered fish and chips, poutine, and even a burger. All worth it. The Poutine (get the mix, which has curds and shredded cheese) was one of the best I've ever had. The bottom started with beautifully plump fries that were lightly crispy on the outside and full of potato goodness on the inside. On the next layer, they had plenty of their mild and full-of-umami cheese curds which was melted just right with some texture from the curds combined with tons of ooey-gooey goodness. And this was all topped off with a generous ladle of a beefy, savory gravy packed with flavor, all without being too salty. Can you tell I love poutine? But wait, there's more! The Fish and chips, which used the same perfect fries for the chips, was an unexpected home run. The Fish was so flaky and tender with just the right bit of crispy breading. And the homemade tartar sauce was creamy, a little sweet and really pulled the whole dish together. And finally, the burger was undeniably delicious and could easily have been a favorite if not for the insane line up. Needless to say, my cravings were satisfied. My stomach is still singing praises days after the visit. The only downside is that I don't know if I can have poutine or even fish and chips elsewhere for a while for the risk that it won't compare to the experience at Niko's. So yes, locals and tourists alike - run there now if you have never been so you can count down the days till your next visit, like me.

I really hate to leave a 1 star review, but I must be honest. I was so disappointed by this place…read more I had high hopes after seeing other reviews, but it just did not live up to the hype. I did takeout so not sure of the setup inside. I got a couple things to try, fingers with fries, and a steak hoagie. The hoagie was so dry. I mean the most driest hoagie I have ever had. It's not like it was super cheap, comparable to other places I guess. It was just not good. I asked for sauce on my fingers and got plain without anything to even dip them in. I would have been on if sauce was on the side, but nope nothing. Maybe when I went it was just and off day for them which I understand happens, but that was enough for me not to go back.

The whole place was decorated for Christmas with table decor and a tree. The food we ordered took a little while to prepare although there were only patrons at one other table, there was a steady take out business going on. My dining partner and I both ordered a rib dinner with hot sides: mac n cheese, greens, yams, hush puppies. The ribs had a sweet BBQ sauce, no heat to the taste and they were just warm, the greens were not super well seasoned and they also were not served hot. I had to add salt and hot sauce and asked if they could be heated up. The owner obliged and brought them back piping hot. The mac n cheese was very cheesy, however it lacked the depth of adding several types of, or at least a sharp cheese to it. The yams had a sweet seasoning with hints of ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg... We also ordered the fried chicken skins which came out freshly coated in a crunchy batter and fried crisp, they were served with hot sauce and Bleu cheese dressing. Very crunchalicious! The banana pudding was also very good... it was amped up with several types of cookie chunks, a cookie crust and cheesecake banana pudding...

There are 657 Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores operating across the United States. I visited one…read moreof them today. Why? These were unusual circumstances. I had some time between appointments and needed coffee and a bite to eat. Plus, I always wanted to check this place out. Now, I'm still debating with myself. Why would I say anything bad about this restaurant? Hello! It's a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store :). What did I expect? I even knew the coffee would be bad, but the price was a real shocker. The last time I had coffee like that, it cost maybe two dollars, no more, and that included refills. I never eat breakfast out. Never, unless I'm traveling. I ordered an Egg Sandwich, two farm fresh eggs served on seared sourdough bread with tomato slices and no mayo. It comes with one classic side. I chose Hashbrown Casserole. The eggs were delicious. The bread wasn't anything close to a 'real' sourdough, but it was actually seared with flavorful butter, and I enjoyed it. The tomato wasn't the best, but salt and pepper came to the rescue. I appreciated that everything was under-seasoned. It's much easier just to add more salt and pepper. It was a very basic type of food. My partner got a little bit wilder with his choices. How about Grandpa's Country Fried Breakfast :). Two eggs and country fried steak with sawmill gravy, served with biscuits and more sawmill gravy and one classic side. He chose Hashbrown Casserole as well. Do you know what sawmill gravy is? "Sawmill gravy is a hearty Southern white gravy made by creating a roux from pork sausage or bacon drippings and flour, then whisking in milk. The Origins: the name 'sawmill gravy' dates back to 19th-century logging and sawmill camps. Cooks needed to provide an inexpensive, calorie-dense breakfast for laborers". At first, we criticized the gravy thinking it was a skimpy white sausage gravy. We had no idea sawmill gravy is something different. Now we know. Our server was good. The dining rooms were heavily decorated. The choice of music was just like at the Cabela's store. All in all, two breakfasts (including a simple egg sandwich) and bad coffee for a total of 40 dollars with tip was definitely not worth it for me. I've heard their pancakes are the best, but pancakes are not really my thing. I'll never forget the blueberry pancakes that my Yelp Friend Dan B. shared a photo of a while back :). They looked sumptuous. There were a decent number of customers, so this place is a popular spot. I didn't care about the store, either.

The omelette sounded overwhelming to me, but I am thankful my partner ordered it because it was good! He also ordered the English muffin. Which was also AMAZING! Now onto the western omelette, it was also wonderful. Eggs fluffy, a good amount of cheese (I picked cheddar). Everything was perfect. But the star of the show was my side of French toast.

We arrived closer to lunchtime than breakfast, which worked in our favor since there wasn't a wait. We were seated right away, and our server, Angela P., promptly came over for our coffee order. Two coffees later, we were ready to order. My mom, as always, went with her beloved Mushroom Omelet (a bit steep at $15.20 in my opinion), while I ordered a half portion of the Two by Four, which included one egg and two pancakes. It ended up being the perfect amount of food for me. I wasn't thrilled about the $1.60 upcharge for chocolate chips, but the pancakes were fluffy, delicious, and worth the splurge. The restaurant appears to have been remodeled since my last visit and it has a much nicer look and feel than I remembered. My only real complaint is the noise level. Every time I've been here it's been incredibly loud, making conversation a bit difficult and hindering the overall breakfast experience, especially before coffee. Overall, I understand why so many people (including my mom) love this place. The service was friendly, the food was good, and we left satisfied. It's just not my personal favorite breakfast spot in Buffalo, especially considering the prices and noise level. Even so, if you're looking for a reliable breakfast with generous portions, I can see the appeal.

I don't know if that was a "summer" thing or not but I almost fell and so did my friend. I ordered a NY strip steak, medium well with sweet potato and broccoli, passing on the salad.
