    What a unique experience. UFO shaped with Alien decor. Very big menu. Serves about anything you desire. Steak, shrimp, Italian, breakfast and your typical diner food. My cheeseburger was plain Jane but tasted snacking. Double patty with lettuce, tomato, ketchup and mayo. Fries were crispy. My wife's steak was real good for a diner steak. Exceptional rice. My son said his quesadilla was bland, chicken had no seasoning and cheese was non existent. Very friendly staff. Defiantly a neat little place. The bathrooms could use some tidying up but overall cleanliness of the restaurant was good. A nice stop. 8.3 out of 10.

    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.

    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.

    We had a wonderful experience eating breakfast. Our waitress, Jenna was lovely! Thank you for a fantastic meal!

    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.

    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.

    Barron Cedric T.

    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.

    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.

    Unique Diner!!

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

    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.
