    Open Face Turkey sandwich
    Chuck M.

    All in all the food is very good here. The place is load but I kind of expected that. A lot of kids running around. The wait time for the food was extremely long.

    The saltiest Italian wedding soup
    Leah C.

    We arrived very excited to try the famous Flying Saucer restaurant and were told that the wait would be around 20 minutes, we were given a buzzer. There's also a sign that says that wait times can't be guaranteed, so when our wait time exceeded 20 minutes, we just continued to wait as everyone around us has their buzzers go off and excitedly walked in. At around the 40 minute point I asked for an update, they claim they tried to buzz us :|apparently our buzzer was broken. Since that table and others were given to groups who arrived after us, the only available table was one of the few near the entrance where there are no decorations and you might as well be in any hole in the wall diner. After that long unnecessary wait, to see how cool the inside looked but be left to sit by the entrance was a huge disappointment. We ordered, and by that time I had a headache and lost my appetite so I just ordered a soup. Couldn't get past a few bites, I've never had a soup that salty. Other dishes on the table including pancakes (served with "pancake syrup", a disappointment considering we're in Canada..), a turkey club w/ fries, and wings were all fine but nothing special.

    You got to love the '50s retro sign!

    You know, sometimes you just want to have a breakfast that's out of this world. Okay, that was a pretty cheesy starting line but it's fitting for this restaurant that I stumbled across by accident when I was in Niagara falls Canada. To be honest, I didn't even know I wanted to go there as I drove by it several times and thought okay. This place has to be a gimmick. With its it's '50s retro sign, and saucer shaped building. But I thought what the heck, when in Canada you have to go board a spaceship. First off, I have to compliment the lady at the front desk. Very friendly. And helpful. All of the rumors you've heard about Canadians being nice are not rumors. True story. They sat me down and brought me some coffee. Checking out the menu, I decided on the E. T. Special, which was two eggs, two sausage links, two strips of bacon, four pieces of toast, home fries (which were actually cubed hash browns), and two pancakes. All for under $16 Canadian. Let me tell you it was a lot of food. This is obviously a very popular place as it did take a while for the food to arrive, but it was hot and delicious. They bring you an actual carafe of coffee, so you don't have to keep asking for refills, which was nice. The ambiance of the place is a lot of fun, definitely UFO themed, and overall it was just a great experience. If you're looking for breakfast, because this place fills up fast. Bottom line? If you're looking for a really fun breakfast experience, you can't do better than the flying saucer restaurant.

    Little alien dude.

    I came here under protest. It's a fun looking touristy spot. Lots of things to take pictures of and even some genuinely cool and fun merch. The staff is also some of the friendliest we experienced in Niagara Falls (though that's faint praise). The food left a lot to be desired. My burger was every single burger you've ever gotten in a high school cafeteria; spongy, inoffensive, adequate in every sense of the word. The fries were passable, and they served us a truly staggering amount of them. The long island iced tea we ordered was also... Ok. There's not much to say about it unfortunately, it's just so "meh" All that being said, it's definitely worth a stop for the decor and to pick up a T-shirt if nothing else. Oh, and it should be noted, there were large and very clean bathrooms, which I appreciated.

    The decor is super fun - love. Server was very friendly. Back bacon, cheese and mayo sandwich was tasty.

    Here's a casual version you could use: --- Loved our visit to Stacked! The service was awesome and super friendly. I had the crepes and they were sooo good. Portions are huge, so it's perfect to share if you're not super hungry.

    They have huge meal portions. We only had some coffee, maybe 20-30 minutes prior to coming, and we had trouble finishing our meal orders. We had an order for some half rack ribs and the triple patty burger meal. Both meals were delightful. With all the fries that came with the burger meal, the salad for the ribs, as well as the enormous portion of the ribs, it was quite a task to finish everything. I also particularly enjoyed the branding of the place. There are not really a lot of themed restaurants still available, but Flying Saucer proudly exists in that space. A section of the restaurant's layout is circular to resemble a flying saucer, and there are alien displays around inside the place. What my companion shared was that before, they even had some sort of themed paper placemats available with some games or activities to do. That was not present during the time I dined there. The service, for me personally, was not perfect. We had a guy server, and I did not particularly appreciate the style of hip service we received. To exaggerate a bit and better illustrate my point, I like the service where we as customers are treated like kings and queens instead of being treated like dudes or friends. That is just me personally. In the beginning, I found myself having to wait for some time to start ordering because the guy was walking around but not looking up at our general direction to be able to spot us. In the end, our server also tried upselling us some cheesecakes (from the Cheesecake Factory). He tried to upsell it maybe two times too many.

    Unique Diner!!

    I order the footlong hotdog with chili. It was delicious. Good place to eat a quick diner type meal.

    Come here for the experience, not the food. Interior is very cool with alien decor and windows. My food came out wrong and had to be sent back, Italian sausage was cold and tough. Everything else was exactly what you'd expect and tasted good. Worth a stop if you're in the area.

    ET Special (pancakes not pictured)
    Michelle L.

    Went to this interesting little themed diner with my friends! It's quite popular, so there was a line outside, but we got a booth within 30 minutes. It's alien themed, and the prices are incredibly reasonable for a tourist hotspot. I got the E.T. Special, and it was so much food! They did bring out the pancakes some time after bringing everything else though. The food was surprisingly good, the bacon crispy, the sausages tasty, the pancakes fluffy, and the home fries seasoned well. I asked for scrambled eggs, but they came out crumbly and difficult to spear.

    Menu as if 8/24/24

    Excellent service on day 1 by Jenna. Excellent service on day 2 by Angela. Phenomenal breakfast. I had the E.T.SPECIAL!! Both days! What a bargain price for 3 eggs, toast ,2 large pancakes, a ton of potatoes, 2 large bacon and 2 excellent sausage. Wife had Belgium waffles and loved them! Lots of good coffee. Great family venue!! Got to meet owner's wife , very friendly and I told her We appreciated great food at such reasonable prices. Place was packed but worth the wait of 5 to 10 minutes. Extremely friendly staff, clean restaurant and you think you're inside a dishes while in the restaurant. Amazing

You read those prices right! It's 2023 and yep, they're charging less than $7 for breakfast! While we were originally going to get bacon and ham, we were recommended the sausage and it didn't disappoint. Definitely a solid choice. Breakfast was hugely filling for a great price. Service felt like you were being welcomed into someone's home. I loved the charm of this place and that it had both character and good food- something you won't find at one of the 5 billion ihops within the two mile radius. Spare yourself a sub par breakfast somewhere else and come to Cippy's.

We were seated immediately. The restaurant does breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and has a nice list of wines and coffees. Our waiter was very friendly and professional. The French press coffee was spectacular, and the Chantilly cream I ordered as a side was spritzed into my coffee cup with every refill. (I always say, "yes" to schlag Sahne!) The menu has about 12 choices of gallettes (savory) and 12 choices of crepes (sweet). Both are thin buckwheat pancakes with extensive, yummy fillings. It was hard to choose just one! I opted for the galette Thalassa, which is filled with a mesclun salad, cherry tomato halves, mandolined radish and cucumber and red onion strings, covered with lox, capers, a dab of sour cream and a teaspoon of black caviar. It was a feast! My husband had the galette Savoyard, with a scrambled egg and prosciutto. I can tell he liked it by his silence after it was put in front of him!

The drink glasses can be difficult to get to as well. But you get fruits, yogurts, bacon, sausage, potatoes, pancakes, even a salsa bar thing. Good convenient way to fill up if you are already at the hotel.
