    Hamburger and fries

    While on vacation ate here twice for not only the quality and quantity of food but also the reasonable price. Highly recommend the saucer fries and hamburger!!!!

    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.

    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.

    I really love the concept of the restaurant, and the decor is absolutely adorable. The service was quite good, especially considering it was pretty busy- we had to wait about 25 minutes to get seatwd. We visited on a Sunday afternoon. The food was delicious! Generous portions at reasonable prices.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

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!

For drinks, my wife and I each grabbed a bottle of Rickard's. They serve it in a frosted glass which is a nice touch, but... the price was pretty wild. Paying around $9-$11 for a bottle/can felt a bit excessive. We started with the Broccoli Cheese Poppers, which we've ordered at other spots before since they're usually vegetarian-friendly (my wife is pescatarian). I thought they were really tasty, but unfortunately my wife had almost finished one before realizing there was bacon inside...and it wasn't listed on the menu. When we asked to confirm, it was pretty disappointing. She was understandably upset, especially since she's been pescatarian for over 10 years. It would've gone a long way if they at least took it off the bill, but they didn't, and that definitely hurt the overall experience. For mains, I ordered JJ's Meatloaf; really solid dish. The mashed potatoes were a highlight, veggies were cooked nicely, and everything had great flavour. Only downside was the bun that came with it got pretty soggy. My wife ordered the Grilled Fish Panini; she liked it, not amazing, but good. The fish was fresh and flaky, and the bread had a nice garlic bread vibe. Overall, it's a decent spot with good food and a nice setting, but the beer prices and the issue with the unlisted bacon definitely took away from the experience.

I loved the unfamiliar, native ingredients and the education that the meal came with. Favorites included just about everything: Lobster, carrot tuile, halibut, hogget, lovage sorbet, apple and quince tart (I don't even like apple tarts/pies), black currant wood ice cream sandwich. Also got the juice pairing and it was perhaps the most interesting juice pairing I've had. Service was practically flawless. The only thing they didn't do was push in my chair when I sat LOL.

In my view, Legende, which holds one Michelin star, blows RPM out of the water. Even Alo, which I consider below average for a one-Michelin-star restaurant, was significantly better. The rhubarb juice had a mediocre flavor and was somewhat bitter. 5/10. The snacks were a mixed start. The seasoning and sauce overpowered the Dungeness crab, while the caviar portion was minuscule considering the price point. The crisp had a similarly overpowering flavor that was difficult to identify. The vegetable with focaccia was decent. 5.4/10. The crudité was light and refreshing, with a good balance of herby and creamy sauces. I could identify most ingredients by taste. One mint leaf was bitter, but overall it was like a fruit bowl mixed with a garden salad. 6.4/10. The first cod was dry, salty, and fishy. I didn't enjoy it. The server wouldn't let me explain what I disliked and rushed me into a refire when I would have preferred something else. 3.9/10. The refired cod was a substantial improvement: juicy, flavorful, and not fishy. The sauce was sharp but pleasant and herby. Still not wowed, but much better. 6.4/10. The hen of the woods had a tasty, well-cooked mushroom and an interesting concept. However, the sauce was strangely sour and overpowering, while the dish was excessively oily because of the potato "crisp." Interesting idea, but poorly executed. 4.7/10. Nearly every sauce was excessively wine-forward, and there was noticeable repetition of flavors, particularly mint and wine reductions. The halibut in butter sauce was my favorite dish. None of the pepper came through, the wine sauce was overpowering, and the dish was overly salty. However, the halibut was cooked beautifully and wonderfully buttery. 6.8/10. The savory egg custard was far too sweet, with reduced wine dominating the dish. The texture was silky and the egg flavor fresh, but it was overwhelmed. The chives lacked brightness. 3.7/10. The grilled lobster with lobster bisque, tomato, and zucchini left me struggling to understand what the vegetables contributed. The bisque was decent and the lobster had pleasant flavor, but it was horribly overcooked and tough. 5.6/10. The guinea hen was inconsistent. Half was tender and moist, while a substantial portion was chewy and somewhat gamey. I liked the gaminess but not the chewiness. The carrot, nectarine, and clean jus worked well. 6.6/10. The blueberry juice was light, clean, and refreshing. 6.7/10. The pork loin and sausage dish was decent but unremarkable. The loin was overcooked and tough, while the sausage was dry. The sauces were decent but not memorable. The beets contributed little, and I wanted more fennel. 5.6/10. The PEI cheddar and RPM honey course was a good combination, but the cheddar was too fatty and rich to eat alone. I needed bread or a cracker for balance. More honey or thinner slices of cheddar would have helped. 6/10. The cantaloupe sorbet with sabayon was bland, boring, and lacking sweetness and flavor. 4.3/10. The raspberry and roasted thyme mille-feuille was extremely disappointing. The raspberry cream was tart, while the raspberries were almost inedibly tart. The pastry was flaky but greasy. I couldn't finish it. 3.1/10. The frozen strawberry was the best dessert: light, with great texture and pleasant strawberry flavor. I would have liked more floral notes from the blossoms and some chocolate for richness. 6.7/10. The miso and whiskey madeleines had a strange, spongy texture. I didn't love the flavor and gave up after two bites. They also arrived after I was told the strawberry dessert would be the "last bite." 3.5/10. Beyond the food, the glasses in the middle of the limited dining room created constant clanking. The extremely loud music gave me a headache and made servers difficult to hear. The time between courses was also quite long. They also didn't answer when I called early to ask if I could come in and wait. Also, the condition and cleanliness of the bathroom were shockingly bad. The dim flickering cheap lights also contributed to my headache. I was told the halibut was line-caught on the Atlantic coast, but later heard another server say it was from the West Coast. Which is it? I also don't understand the obsession with locality. Excluding vanilla or chocolate unnecessarily limits the pastry chef, yet the rules are broken with coastal fish, coffee, and tea. Why impose arbitrary restrictions when a simple local focus would suffice? The ethos should be delicious and elevated food. Overall, repetitive flavors, especially mint and wine reductions, and sauces that overwhelmed dishes were major issues. There were decent dishes and interesting ideas, but too many were poorly executed. Nothing was above a 7/10, and most dishes were below average in flavor--difficult to reconcile with the price point and accolades.
