A recent stop at this old school diner in the downtown part of Lockport fit the bill perfectly. My SIL wanted to take me out for a meal for my recent birthday, so we decided to take a short road trip from Clarence to Lockport. Ambiance inside is classic city style diner with murals and drawings on the walls and mostly booths with red cushioned seats. The outside isn't all that inviting. Just go in and seat yourself and enjoy the great food, service and reasonable prices. I ordered a build your own omelet and my SIL had the 2-2-2. All the food was prepared properly as ordered. My omelette was one of the best that I've had in WNY. I frequently go out for breakfast to a number of local places and am very critical of how omelets are made. Tom's is one of the few that do it right. Home fries were made from scratch with skin on baby reds and were cooked precisely. Pancakes were large, fluffy and delicious. Portions were generous, ingredients were fresh, and service was prompt and friendly. What more can you ask? I highly recommend. It's even worth a small road trip.

The prices are quite decent & lower than other comparable establishments. The server was not the fastest, but she was friendly.

This weekend were were in town to check out the farmers market and decided to hit up Sugar Shack for old times sake. You cannot beat the prices. For a #2 eggs, bacon, hash-browns, and pancakes it was $6.75 ?!?! And it was delicious to boot. My fav is the hash-browns opposed to home fries which you don't see a lot of at breakfast places anymore. It's a smaller diner but you're usually in and out quick so if there's a wait it shouldn't be too long.

Came randomly to the Clinton market (I've not been there) and here's this place that I've never been to. Long story short : Cash only, I only had three dollars, but the owner insisted that I order exactly what I wanted. So I had my egg salad and coffee and it was fantastic and this place is a jam. I can't tell you about pricing but I think it's very inexpensive and she was just so wonderful so KUDOS. A huge plus about this place is that it's small inside and there is no patio but she allowed my two small dogs inside. She was wonderful.

I originally came to get something to go, the wait staff was so inviting and friendly that we decided to stay. We sat at the bar right in front of the action. The staff was hilarious and recommended great menu items. I really wanted fish, but they sold the last piece from their Friday Fish fry a few minutes before I arrived. I ended up getting an omelette with home fries...and. let. me. tell. you! The food is awesome! The waitress was eating some home fries when we arrived with feta and some type of oil. She gave me some, and it set it OFF! It was an olive oil and vinegar blend with spices. My friend got the French toast with eggs and bacon. He really enjoyed it (and even finished before me)! I'd definitely come back again!....probably tomorrow.

This place is named after the infamous "Nipple Lease" which is when you put a down payment down on…read moresomeone else's nipples. And stuff. What to get: Milkshakes. What else is good: Any of the American style dinners. I echo the excellent reviews of Neapolis. Their Chocolate and Vanilla milkshakes are fantastic. Their food is delicious and home made. They are cheap and wonderful. The service is fantastic. This place is named after a horrible type of flea that bites you on the center of your tits. Known as "Nipple Lice". The only reason this place isn't Buffalo's #1 Destination Diner is because it's named after these horrendous little nipple biting (and not in a sexy way) creatures. Don't ask me why. Ask them. Not the lice. They can't speak English. Ask the owners. Really. Ask them. Skip the Souvlaki. I like a lot of stuff here, particularly stuff with grilled chicken breast and melted cheese, peppers and onions on top. Very homemade indeed. The unpretentious salad they give you in wooden bowls with croutons is fresh and delightful. This place is named after the infamous "Nippleless Family" which are a star Freak Show attraction at the Iron Island Carnival. Carnies may have small hands and smell like cabbage, but they USUALLY HAVE NIPPLES and believe me because I WOULD KNOW OKAY. So Buffalo does milkshakes right. This place does milkshakes right. They get a large metal tin (huge in fact), and fill it with delicious ice cream and milk. Then they blend it using a real milkshake making blender, and it takes quite awhile. If you're lucky (or, if you ask for it), they might even give you the whole metal tin, with the leftover milkshake inside it... which is basically giving you another half milkshake. This place is named after the infamous "Nipple Loose" Buffalo girls which is when you really don't wanna sleep around but your nipples keep slipping out so everyone thinks you are loose. It's not their fault!! Nobody in Buffalo sells tight-fitting bras!!! Amirite!?!?!?!!??!?? The older review is correct, you can vanish for months and they still remember you. But in my case, amazingly, they remembered me nearly a decade later. When I first lived in Buffalo in 1999-2000, I went in every few weeks, maybe 10 times tops. Ten years later, on a recording break in Buffalo I started going back in, and they not only remembered me, but treated me as if it had been only a month since they'd seen me, not a decade. It was quite delightful, and indeed I'm glad they are still there after all this time because family businesses tend to struggle over time when in competition with the big, bad chains. Heartwarming. And a lot of the same (small group of) employees too! They even remembered that I liked Milkshakes. I went in after years and didn't feel like one (I used to get them when I went in there), and they said, no milkshake today? They have those little things right, do Neapolis. Those little things keep people coming back. With so much competition for good food in WNY and all the evil chains putting the locals out of business, it only takes one bad experience to drive loyal customers elsewhere, and Neapolis take real care to make sure you never feel that way, while never being pretentious about it. It is the opposite of pretentiousness. And that's part of its charm. This place is named after the infamous "Nipple Lens" which is the type of camera adult photographers use to snap pix of their subjects' boobies. Memories for me, of this place, are vivid but distant. When I first moved to the United States, I lived across the bridge (in a pretty bad area) on Broadway & Bailey. We'd walk across the bridge over the train tracks to Neapoli's and it was a lovely walk, a little escape from our ghetto street lifestyle. Our car was broken into or stolen off the streets many times living there... we'd hear gunshots... lots of abandoned houses. Walking over the bridge to Neapolis felt like refuge and I love them for that. I was a kid back then, how quickly the years pass by. Let me clarify, Neapolis is not in a bad area... once you cross that bridge, the crime rate goes way down - and besides, it's next to the Bailey Police Station. This place is named after the infamous "Nipple Lars" which was when Metallica drummer Ulrich was found passed out with nipple clamps on in a bathtub full of aforementioned Carnies. Who all did have Nipples, btw. Everything is made right in front of you and is delicious. This place is the prototypical family restaurant and you should try it. If you don't, you're missing out. But at least you're not missing any nipples. Or maybe you are? If so please private message me sexy. Oh. Also. This place is named after the infamous "Nipple Lies" which is when you tell someone you have a third nipple just to get them to take you home, but then it turns out you don't. But it's already too late because the Italian Imported Salami has already been sampled from the deli, if you catch my nipples. I mean drift.

Thank you to Linda and Frank! Yes I agree with you both on how nice this "little cafe in the rough"…read moreis! Great find! Great food, inviting atmosphere and friendly staff. My daughter and I actually ate lunch inside the cafe at a table- wow! After doing only take-out for many months, we sure did appreciate eating inside...like the good ole days! We were the only patrons for quite a while. Later a few other patrons came in after attending a midday mass at the St. Gregory Catholic Church. Still, we were seated far apart, observing social distance. We were greeted and served by a very sweet lady. Both my daughter and I did the soup/sandwich combo. She had the chicken Caesar wrap and said it was yummy! I had a Reuben sandwich. Simple and delicious. We both had the homemade, hearty chicken gumbo soup. Loved the okra and chicken pieces loaded in the thick broth. It was superb, hit the spot. A+ We also enjoyed a plate of Pierogis. Lucky for us, pierogis are offered only during the current Lenten period. Cheese or potato onion - we loved both! We ordered a full plate for $6.50. Really, I've never had pierogi this delicious. Definitely homemade, a little on the small side in terms of quantity for the price. Yet still worth getting. Since it's Lent, the cafe is offering a fish fry dinner each Friday evening through March. It's take-out only. Pre-pay $11, or $12 at the door. As well, on Wednesday evenings, during Lent, the cafe is open for pizza night. The comfy sofas in the lounge area are calling us back to sip coffee, relax and chat with a friend. We are definitely coming back!

BAM, this cafe popped up. There are no signs on the road for it. I've passed by the enterance literally hundreds if not thousands of times. Thousands of cars pass it every day, completely unaware of what they are missing. All traffic slows down in front of it for a school zone. It's time to reveal where it actually is. It's in a back section of the Saint Gregory the Great church building. You can enter their parking lot either from their main enterance on Maple Road or from the side street St Gregory Ct. This cafe is open to the public, not just church members. Café hours: Sunday: 9 am - 2 pm Monday: CLOSED Tuesday: 7:30 am - 2 pm Wednesday: 7:30 am - 2 pm, 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm Thursday: 7:30 am - 2 pm Friday: 7:30 am - 2 pm Saturday: 8:30 am - 12 noon Now for what they offer. A selection of breakfast and lunch items. See the attached photo of their menu. The Fair Trade Coffee is delicious and you help yourself to free refills. On this visit I had a whole Reuben Panini and my wife had the soup and half panini combo and hot tea. The combo she ordered was a half Chicken Fajita Panini and New England Clam Chowder. All the food was absolute delicious. My Reuben was so flavorful I took my time eating the last bite. With the exception of some of the baked goods, everything is freshly made, in house, including the jumbo cookies. The cafe is so cheerful and comfortable it is a great place to go and have a leisurely breakfast, lunch or both. I was told that Wednesday nights are pizza night. The volunteer staff is extreme friendly and helpful. The only negative I see is that the when word gets out about this place and the lines will be running out the door.

Lol at least to me since I'm not familiar with the area. Everything seemed reasonably priced. My friends ordered chicken & biscuits and a southwest chicken wrap. I & one other friend ordered the fried bologna sandwich. The sandwich was good except the roll seemed too small. I mentioned the pricing before specifically because the bologna sandwich was listed at $6.50, or so I thought. When the bill came it was $11. Since the other person who also ordered it didn't say anything I thought I must have seen it wrong & just paid the bill. Well, to my surprise, when I got home & checked my pictures, it was $6.50! I'm not sure if it was just a mistake on the bill or if the menu is that much off on what they're currently charging. Either way, it left a bad taste in my mouth, not caused by the actual good. Based on the food and the service, I'd probably recommend this place but not sure after that incident. 2024-40
