Amazing people! Delicious food!! Huevos Rancheros was fabulous and the kids meals were priced right. Great spot!!

Really delicious lunch today! I ordered a patty melt and fries. The fries were so hot and tasty. So was the patty melt. The server was very kind and attentive as well. Minus one star for a bit of a wait, even though it wasn't super busy and they don't have fountain drinks, just cans. Either way, kind service and GREAT, filling food? I'm going back!! read more

Salisa's - Patty melt and tunafish sandwich - New American Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

Food is so good! Very attentive staff even when busy! Highly recommended mom and pop type diner

I really like the people who work at this place, so I feel badly giving the place less than 4 stars, but I like to be honest in my reviews re my experience. And the place is not bad by any means... clearly from the reviews people cherish this place. We walked in at about 1130am on Sunday and it was packed. The door opens right into a table for one person, and from there, there is a counter (typical for diners), and the three other sides are bordered with booths. The entire middle is packed with tables and chairs. It's really, really tight in here. The ambience is nice, with photos and paintings of old cars, old planes... We waited a little while to be seated in a corner booth, which was nice. My daughter liked her pancakes, my wife really liked her eggs. The eggs and bacon were perfectly done, IMO. We got apple juice and orange juice, which were little bottles of Apple & Eve. I asked for the sandwich "Roast Beef and Gravy." When it arrived... I thought it was something covered with mole, but then realized it was my sandwich completely covered with gravy, and I wouldn't be able to eat it as a sandwich. Usually, when a sandwich like this is served smothered in gravy (and therefore needs to be eaten with a knife and fork), it is called "Hot Open Roast Beef Sandwich." In this case, the sandwich was served closed, so I would say "Roast Beef Sandwich smothered in Beef Gravy" on the menu. It would really help someone know what to expect. I really wanted to grab a sandwich with my hand and dip it into gravy. Knowing what kind of gravy it was would have been helpful, too. But I was disappointed that the roast beef itself was not hot. It wasn't cold, just kind of cool. Even the gravy was cool. It was strange. I ate the roast beef and left the bread for the most part. I would not recommend this dish unless they change it a bit. My wife left over her hash brown potatoes since they were kind of hard / chewy. All in all, and decent place for locals who can deal with a really tight space. It's fairly priced, for sure. read more

This is a sweet, old-fashioned family diner, one of a dying breed. It seats about fifty people, in booths, tables, or stools at the bar: Seat yourself and the waitress or owner brings you a menu. Breakfast is served all day, the choices run to two pages, plus more specials on the white board above the kitchen entrance. If only I had known sweet crepes were a possibility! Generous portions, and my coffee cup got frequent refills. New change in the hours: Since 05/2025, they are closed Mondays. read more

Salisa's - Daily dinner specials @ Salisa's Diner, Niagara Falls, NY. (By the airport). - New American Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

This little diner is super cute, especially if you're looking for that vibe. Like 'they all stare at you when you walk in because you're not a regular' vibe. But the people working there are very chill and nice. The food is pretty good. We had breakfast food and it was a little greasy but very comforting. I'd say it's somewhere between Tom's restaurant in Amherst and JJ's cafe in Buffalo. read more

Salisa's - Polish sausage, eggs, wheat toast, bacon, hashbrowns, French toast - New American Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

My life has forever been changed. I walked in the door hungry, tired, and yearning for a life-changing experience. Our party was greeted by a delightful staff who liven up the small yet cozy diner. If you want any kind of comfort food, Salisa's is the place to be. It was a pumpkin french toast, polish sausage, home fries blur. Every bite was better than the last. I wanted to take a picture of the food before I devoured, but you couldn't pry the fork from my hands once I started on my culinary journey. We recommend anything on the menu - you will not be disappointed. Do not come here if you hate happiness, joy, and a full belly. read more

We stopped by for a late breakfast(currently still in restaurant). We were greatly surprised.. it seems like a lil neighborhood restaurant but we were greatly surprised. We like neighborhood family restaurants and this place did mot disappoint. I ordered the vegetable omelet and my husband ordered steak and eggs. My omelet was the BEST I've ever tasted. I usually leave more than half the omelet on my plate. I left about 3 bites in my plate. DELICIOUSLY sautéed veggies and sooo much flavor. Not huge hard pierces of veggies but small flavorful bites. My husband's steak was nicely cooked to order and flavorful. Can't go wrong with this place. When we were coming into the restaurant a customer leaving told us it he food was wonderful and this is the truth. Stop on by and enjoy friendly staff and delicious food and the prices are on point and affordable! Bon Appetite read more

We had a wonderful breakfast! The biscuits and gravy were hearty and full of sausage. Pancakes were huge and fluffy and the omelette had fresh mushrooms. Our waitress was a sweetheart. We are just passing through on a long road trip, but will definitely come again when we are in the area read more

Service is always prompt and friendly! Food is all homemade and delicious. They have daily specials that are varied and delicious! The restaurant has recently changed hands from a wonderful couple that took pride in all they served. I was afraid when I heard they stepped down () the new owners would change the menu and the whole ambiance of Salisa's. Not so..the menu was the same with a few additions, same great Deluxe Chicken Sandwich (they still toasted the roll!) Had a little chat with the new owners on my way out..lovely couple! We wish them the best and many years of success! Dick and Robin Royer read more

My family and I love Salina's. We recommend it to everyone that comes into town and have only received big "thank you's" from them all.

Decided to try a new restaurant in the area. When we walked in it was small and cozy and homie. There was absolutely no wait for seating. We sat at the counter, which was nice. We got our drinks right away and our order was taken in a timely manner. They even gave us a complementary plate of fruit because they were celebrating their one year anniversary. Then it went downhill. We ordered an omelette and an egg dish with bacon on the side and a coffee and an orange juice. The food came out in a relatively timely manner, considering the restaurant was full. But we were missing an order of bacon and one of the orders got the wrong toast. The orange juice wasn't orange juice, but an orange juice blend in a ridiculously small bottle. The waitress never came by to ask us how everything was so I never got the chance to let her know that we were missing a bacon order and we got the wrong toast. The food was mediocre nothing special. And to top it off when we asked for hot sauce, we got the most disgusting, dirty, greasy crusty bottle you could ever imagine. And not only that it was missing its cap. That just shows me that the restaurant doesn't take its cleanness very serious. I included a picture of the hot sauce bottle. I definitely would not recommend this restaurant. read more

My family and I went to visit today and we absolutely fell in love with the actual diner feel of this establishment. Walking in was so cozy on this rainy Thursday! For sure a family friendly place. Staff and service were very sweet and attentive. Even gave my little dude some crayons and paper to draw on while we waited for our food. We ordered the kids silver dollar chocolate chip pancakes, mushroom and Swiss burger with fries (fries we're well seasoned and overall phenomenal), and my fiance had their biscuits and gravy(they were generous with the gravy ). We enjoyed every bite of our food. Nothing left behind. Parking was plentiful, and an easy place to find right on the boulevard. They have booths available as well as regular tables. Open everyday except Mondays. Wish we had photos to share but unfortunately the food disappeared pretty quickly. A little additional note: food does take a bit to come out (which was fine for us) as I believe everything is made to order and def worth the wait. Thank you for serving us today. We will definitely be coming back read more

I came here for a solo breakfast on a Sunday morning and loved every part of it. It's a simple diner, so I was looking for the essentials; eggs, toast and homefries with a protein. For 8.99, you get exactly that (choice of sausage, bacon or ham) and a coffee. I sat at the diner bar and they had things pretty spaced out, which was comfortable in a COVID era world and dining indoors. Service was very personable. The food was delicious. Potatoes were perfectly crispy on the outside without being burnt, but nice and soft on the inside. A+ homefries. Eggs were perfectly over easy and although the sausage was just typical diner sausage (nothing too special), it was delicious. If you're looking for breakfast or lunch food, check out Salisa's for sure. I would definitely love to come back at some point for more breakfast-y diner food! read more

Salisa's - Eggs toast and sausage! Home fries! - New American Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

Probably not the day to write this review. I have been to the restaurant a handful of times, mostly on Sunday mornings after church around 10:30. We stop by here because it's a small place with not many tables, but even on Sundays somehow we have never had a wait. The food does not come out quick, I've noticed that every time. You better be prepared to wait a half hour for a basic breakfast, I don't think I've gotten service quicker then that before. The food is hit or miss. Today was a huge miss for me, and made me feel gross for a portion of the day. I ordered corn beef hash, over medium eggs, and rye toast. My toast had so much butter that it was soggy the whole way through, but my big problem was the eggs. They where not over medium, they weren't even over easy, they where raw. I like to mix the yolk with the corn beef, but cutting into the first one,the egg white was running over my plate. Like I stated probably not the day to write a review, other days the food has been good. Overall I enjoy their pancakes, I would stay away from the eggs. read more

Divey little roadside diner that offers up genius portions of tasty homemade comfort food. We stopped in and sampled the turkey plate lunch along with the chicken and biscuits specials. While the turkey plate was good. The stuffing was homemade with lots of soft breading and chunks of veggies; just like your grandma would make. The green beans where perfectly seasoned and strongly reminded me of my grandmas canned beans; my favorite. The turkey, and potatoes where good, needed just a touch of s&p Now to get down to the star of the show. Those chicken & biscuits. Imagine delicious pot pie filling with a generous amount of shredded chicken mixed in, sitting on top of homemade biscuits. A deconstructed pot pie with tender veggies and packed with flavor. Service was quick and friendly. It's the type of establishment your grandparents frequent for dinner, and everyone seems to know each other. Portions are enough to share. Highly suggest giving this hole in the wall a try! read more

Salisa's - Polish sausage omelet and corned beef hash. Delicious. This is why we keep coming back..... - New American Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

Coming into this place I immediately noticed three occurrences of a sign showing "no outside food or drink". Do they really have a huge problem to warrant signs like that?! There's a very small dining room here with just a few booths and a few rows of tables connected together. You don't get much privacy, and anything you discuss can be heard by your neighbors. I noticed the menu had quite a few items on it, though for a small old diner, I expected lower prices. You're not going to get a cheap breakfast here like some of the diners downtown. Some of their dishes, like sandwiches, come with a small bag of Lays potato chips--I really find that cheesy. Why not just offer French fries with them? I can buy a bag of Lays at 7-Eleven! They actually have beer on tap at this diner, Molson Canadian or Sam Adams Oktoberfest. The server was pleasant and told us about the Friday Fish Fry special, $10.50 for haddock (battered or grilled), three salads of your choice, and choice of potato (baked, mashed, or fries). It was only 5:00pm and the server said they were already out of mac and cheese, so we went for the only other choices: coleslaw, potato salad, and macaroni salad. They gave the two of us two slices of Italian bread with butter before our entrees came. After about 20 minutes, the entrees came out. The fries were cooked a bit too long for me, they are the standard crinkle cut frozen variety. The fish we ordered was beer battered and tasted good with not a lot of batter. However, the size of the salads on the plate are about the size of an ice cream scoop, I expected a bit more. The macaroni tasted like tuna was in it, not a fan, and wish I knew ahead of time. The coleslaw was not bad, but the potato salad tasted very bland. Our server wasn't around as much as we would have liked. We noticed another server was tending to other tables a bit better and we asked her about the name of the place. She said it was named after the first names of the owners, Sal and Lisa--interesting! read more

We had breakfast here earlier today and were very pleased. The food selection was unreal, portions were generous and the staff very friendly and helpful. Small restaurant where you could enjoy your meal without a lot of noise... you could actually have a conversation. read more

Love their fish fry, but they stopped having them. Not sure when they are starting up again. The servers are always super nice.

Food and service was great! Will definitely come back when visiting Niagara Falls NY again.

Amazing ham breakfast sandwich best I have ever had. It might be the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had.

Small, cute and quaint place! Very homey! Great Food! Awesome selection! The best service around! Should definitely check this place out!!!

Salisa's is my favorite place for a fish fry. The fish is very thick, with a light breading. Also included are bread, macaroni salad, cole slaw, and French fries. The French fries seem to be of the frozen variety, so I always request a baked potato instead and they gladly comply. This is a very small, diner-like place. I have also had a very good breakfast here. read more

Wonderful place to catch lunch or breakfast it's always a busy place the food is delicious the server is very kind and helpful.

As others stated a pretty significant wait for breakfast food which is normally the quickest to prepare. Maybe they kill the pigs for the bacon out back? It was good....but not quite worth the wait. I'd rather go back to see the waitress!!!! Easily the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Sheesh!!!! Sorry the review is not longer. It was bacon eggs and home fries. Tough to write a soliloquy about good ole breakfast. read more

We found this little gem near the Niagara Falls Airport when our original destination turned out to be closed on Tuesdays. The pancakes were huge and very tasty, with a hint of vanilla. 1 plate is enough for four to share. The biscuits and gravy were divine. The eggs were fresh. And the potatoes, oh my! These are the best homemade potatoes we've ever tasted. The service is excellent and the prices are very reasonable. Definitely go! read more

Started going there about three months ago every week food has gotting worst now they raise there prices and you can tast the oil they use after tast the sides they have and use are premade out of a carton . they started out good but got cheap . wont be going back read more

Quiet, friendly, comfortable, easy place with excellent quality food in generous portions.

Food is fantastic every single time. Consistent, ALWAYS hot, incredible wait staff, such a awesome home like atmosphere. I have brought several of my clients here for either breakfast or lunch, and each one has told me they have become regulars. I really wish I could give this place ten stars read more

Drove right by it as it's so small, and set back a bit from the road. Not an attractive place, (not much is in sunny NFNY) but the homemade soup, fresh, no frills food and very nice staff make it a solid choice. Our food came out very fast and hot. Alot of regulars came strolling in and out while we were there. And they have a huge flat screen TV airing Fox News. read more

The servers there are the rudest individuals to walk the planet they act like they're so busy they can't be bothered with customers I will never give them a red cent while they're still open read more

Definitely a hole in the wall place. It is so tiny and the service was a tad slow but I went here with my mom for breakfast and it was absolutely delicious. We ordered the steak and eggs and biscuits and gravy. Both were so good! Definitely highly recommended place. read more

This was my first time at this diner, we found it from Google while searching for a breakfast place. The service here is exceptional, the entire staff was friendly and accomodating to our large group of 16. The food took a little bit of time to be made but that was expected with our large group, and for the quality of the food that was served the wait was definitely not an issue. I highly recommend this diner for breakfasts, if I wasn't on vacation and had the time to stop by to try dinner I definitely would! read more
