    The penalty box - 16" pepperoni & cheese
    Michael H.

    Interesting pizza. Crust is very garlic heavy. Not sure if recommend this one, but glad I tried it.

    Came in here for bite to eat and a few drinks after a rousing hour of ice bumper cars downstairs. We were a large group, of 11 people. Our waitress was great, she handled our size by pushing tables together and was even willing to split checks for us as requested. Despite the large order, all of our food came out at the same time give or take a minute or two and it was still hot. Impressive! Popular items ordered among our table included the Bradshaw wrap, the fried Mac and Cheese appetizer, and the smoked wings. I really liked the hockey theme in the place, the walls scream hockey with the decor and the menu items are cleverly named after hockey lingo and players names (ie The Perreault). Personally, my husband and I did a little sharing and split ten of the root beer bbq smoked wings, along with the fried Mac and cheese app and an order of fries (battered fries, the fresh!). The Mac and cheese bites boast about having six cheeses in them on the menu. Maybe I was starving, but I thought I could taste at least four of them, which ain't bad! They were served with this buffalo dipping sauce that was perfect for them. The wings were good, not as good as other smoked wings I've had, but good. The sauce was sweet and smoky, a little more root beer flavor would have been welcome! Overall we had a really good experience here. Prices were reasonable, service was great, and the food was good. We are likely to return after other bumper car experiences!

    Great atmosphere at this little spot. Food has been decent the few visits I have enjoyed, and the staff are always friendly. Stop in to watch some local ice, or even enjoy your own depending on the day and time of your visit.

    Good staff. Good food. Prices are good. Good selection of craft beer on tap and in bottles. There is a decent sized menu. They have specials during the week off foods. A happy hour for drinks every day as well. There are plenty of TVs for all the big games. They also offer a catering menu if you would like to have a party at the arena. Calzone is pretty good just wish it had ricotta in it. The grilled cheese is good and so is the new Mac and cheese bites. They recently updated their menu with some new items. They self large pizzas and half pizzas.

    Across. Bar. Cool place right next door to 2 ice rinks... Perfect name and location

    Bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. The food is incredible. If you're looking for a good sports bar and Lockport, this is the one.

The best way I can describe this restaurant is that it gives you a feeling of community. It was clear to me I was dining with a bunch of regulars since one of the people at the table next to me walked up and grabbed a can of pop from the refrigerator behind the counter, cracked it open and told Diane to add it to her ticket. Another guy at a different table got up and served himself coffee. I noticed someone else walking out from behind the bar when we walked in. I'm not sure what she was doing, but apparently it's understood when you're a regular that you're also family. I had a soup and my friend who was with me had a BLT. We were both extremely happy with our food and service. We grabbed a table near the door when we first walked in because I like to sit on the perimeter my first time visiting a place. I like to take in everything, and this place does not disappoint. Take a look at my photos to see how little I had to pay for good food and quality service. Truth be told, I was out looking at houses before taking a break at Cousin's. If I didn't want to move to Lockport before, I sure as heck want to now! Heck, I may even stop in and ask Diane for a job. The dish washer did not show up for work the day we were there, so she was pulling double duty. I'm not sure if she has someone else cooking or not, so maybe triple duty! Once word gets out about how great and affordable this place is, she'll be needing the help. Or like me, all the new people will feel instantly like family and just pitch in where needed.

    Is Cousin's Cafe fancy? No. Is the food mind blowing? No. That's not why you come here. This is a…read moreplace that you go if you want a cheap meal. It's like going to a friends house for lunch. It's welcoming, but nobody is trying to impress you. The service is friendly, the food is more than fairly priced, and it will always hit the spot.

The food was AMAZING!! $7.95 for the burger and I had a hard time finishing it! Cooked to perfection. Crispy tots on the side. My wife had the lobster roll and loved it, said she'd definitely go back. Service was outstanding! After we ate I went to the window to tell the cook how amazing the food was and he gave us a small sample of a crab salad, which was also delicious! There's a couple tables inside, and picnic benches outside. Not a busy street. But don't let the outside deter you from stopping for a bite! We will be back!

I stopped at AJ's for a quick and inexpensive bite after the gym. I saw they had a pizza burger on special for just $6.99 and that piqued my interest. I debated not getting a roll suspecting it would be one of the super cheap burger buns, but I just ordered it as is; I was very glad I did. It was made fresh to order in about 8 minutes. When it came out, it was presented open faced on a nicely toasted junior kaiser roll with a good amount of tasty pizza sauce, a load of gooey provolone, and cup & char pepperoni atop the burger, which was a decent size. Everything worked well together and it was like a tasty, meaty, easily handheld piece of pizza. The service was friendly. I believe there was indoor seating, but I ordered at the window and sat at a picnic table outside. I would visit again.
