    Salt and pepper wings. SO GOOD.
    Sarah L.

    We went on a Sunday at 3 pm. It was pretty empty inside. Just one couple at a table wrapping up and 4 guys at the bar watching the NFL games. The reason for all this info is to paint a clear picture that it was not busy at all, but our small order of one burger and chicken wings took exactly one hour. There was just one lady working both the bar and the floor. Now, we picked this place because after reviewing all the spots in the area, they seemed to have good-looking wings and decent food. That is all correct. My partner enjoyed her burger so much and I can honestly say these were some of the best wings I've had. They were large in size and had the perfect crispy crunch of skin. I got the salt and pepper seasoning and it was so simple yet so satisfying. Pros: food is really really good for simple dive bar food Cons: per our experience and other reviews it seems 1-hour wait might be the norm here

    Loved it here! The drinks were so good and our bartender was so sweet and made our drinks PERFECT. It was by far the best sex on the beach I have had! We didn't get to eat but boy oh b it did that good smell good! We would definitely come back; we actually tried but during their slow season(winter) they close on Sundays :(

    Small sports bar but we had a great time . Service was great and all our food was really good . We order wings in different flavors all good . We order pizza , Mozarella sticks and some nachos with pork belly that were so good ( special ) . There is a bowling place inside that look like a lot fun but we didn't bowls For such small place service was really good !

    The lone bartender on a sleepy Friday night was an asshole to us the moment we sat down. We asked for Miller Lite but got cut off to be told they only have so-and-so bottles. Basically, only other varieties of mower beer like Coors and Bud. Okay. Cool. Nice attitude, bro. We ordered a couple shots and basic cocktails. When he finally came around to ask if we wanted another round (after sitting a long time with empty cups), I politely asked for a water and a Coke. He gave me the dirtiest look and without saying a word, walked away. At least he did bring my drinks, but by this time, I was so appalled that I just wanted to leave. His attitude the entire visit was enough to tell us we were not welcomed here. We paid our tab and left and would not recommend this place to visitors.

    Yank's is seemingly a unique spot off the Clifton Hill strip, in that it offers a down to earth vibe with good food and reasonable prices. A group of us decided to come in a bit earlier for a drink and appetizers. We ordered a few pitchers, the first a local brew with the next being Seemans original. For food, the Yelp reviews were spot on about the Mexican Cheesecake, a calorie laden, dense mixture of cheese, beef and jalapeno with rounded store bought nachos surrounding the pyrex serving dish. My little guy ordered a single burger, but note the fries would need to be ordered seperately. We also shared a tasty thin crust pizza which was topped with veg, including red pepper and zucchini, a nice accompaniment to the cold beer. Overall, as others stated a good alternative to the other establishments in the area. Definately something a bit more casual and relaxed vibe.

    We stopped here as everything was closing. They close at 2:00 am so was great for us. The drinks are strong and the bartenders were were friendly and kept our glasses full. They have 1 pool table and we met some locals who were very friendly and enjoyed a few games with them. The place is clean which is always a plus. It's off the beaten path, we found it by accident on a side street.

    This is the main seating area. Nice quiet atmosphere.

    Get the spinach and artichoke dip. So good! The pizza was fine. We are from NY so hard to impress. Great service. Nice quiet break from the crowds.

    Stopped by this bar after seeing a picture on here of they're naked nachos. It was also game 5 of the NBA series so the place had a good crowd. Oddly, there was only one person working the bar but somehow service was still pretty quick. I ordered poutine (never had it and what better time than the present?) And those nachos, spicy. My husband ordered sweet chili wings and French fries. Because I don't have a standard with which to measure the poutine, I'll just say I didn't like it. I did enjoy the nachos and really loved the wings. We demolished the entire pound in about 2 minutes. My only complaint is that the sodas were weak. I'd love to come again and try other wing flavors!

    The nacho dip was wonderful. The service and atmosphere felt unwelcoming. Felt like a "townie" bar.

    It was quite and few tourists were there, which was actually nice. Other than that it is a fairly mediocre place.

    Had a craving while visiting the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, and this popped up on Yelp as one…read moreof the best options for that around. They certainly had plenty of options! Massive menu of burgers, spanning a range of style from thick to smash, flames to griddle, and even typed of meat or non-meat. Quite frankly, if you can't find a burger that calls to you here, you must be very difficult to please. It was a Sunday, and the general area was thumping, this place was about half full and the vibe was relaxed. They're not on the absolutely main drag of Clifton Hill, and honestly, I would hope that benefits them both in price of rent and who might find it easy to wander in. There is paid parking nearby, cheaper than most because to get down to the falls is a bit of a hike. The hike back will be pretty far uphill, but we made it no problem. I love that the sodas come in a giant measuring cup, not much need for a refill, but they do give them complimentary if you ask for one. We started with standard poutine as an appetizer, it was really tasty. Nice flavor on the gravy, and a large amount of cheese curds. Instead of getting more fries as a side, went for a caesar salad. Was surprised to see bacon on it, but I definitely didn't hate that. It was quite good. I got a double smash burger with a nice thick onion ring on it and their version of burger sauce, as well as a spice relish to kick things up a notch. First thing, my patties were smashed very nicely, and there was a clear crispy crust on them. Bravo, I was pretty impressed, and the flavor was robust. I loved the spicy relish, and the bun also complemented the meat well. It was a big burger, and I was thoroughly satisfied. The service, maybe could have been slightly more attentive, but really just took awhile to take our order. Once it was taken, we had no complaints. Very friendly, everything was accurate, and like I said... big drink cups means not a ton of need for refills. I would come back here again on a future visit to the falls.

I got into Canada early, so I decided to go have some lunch. I walked in, and immediately felt like I just came home. The bartender, this lovely young woman named Onya, came up and took my order. I ordered a black and tan. She suggested I go for the smooth black and tan which I did. It did not disappoint! I may have to have my black and tans like this for the rest of my life. I ordered a cup of the buffalo wing chowder, and she said it's one of the most popular items on the menu. I asked her to bring that out first before my Classic Caesar salad. Let me tell you something about that soup. Now I'm not a big soup guy, but I do like chowders, and this was the absolute best I've ever had. Had. I've had clam chowder all over the United States but man this one absolutely nails it! It has that buffalo wing flavor which just perfect and not overpowering. I should have gotten the bigger bowl of it instead of the cup. Now let's talk about the Caesar salad. It was absolutely perfect! It had the perfect ratio of dressing to lettuce, not just poured on top like most places but actually tossed. Onya said she did it herself, so massive kudos for her going above and beyond the call of duty. Overall this meal hit on all cylinders and did not disappoint. I will definitely be back here a couple more times while I'm in Canada. If you need to find me, you know where to find me. The bottom line? You really need to get the buffalo chicken wing chowder. It is absolutely an amazing soup and will change your life. And if you like a good classic Caesar, you can't do better than this one!

She was professional, checked up on us multiple times, and gave us refills in a timely manner. The food was pretty good, and I would recommend. It's away from the crazy touristy part of town, so it's a little calmer. On this night, there was live entertainment. I was glad we sat further away because it would have interfered with conversation, but I appreciated the singing (just a little loud for me). I enjoyed my ravioli, and my friend was very happy with her baby back ribs. And if you're from USA, know that the iced tea comes sweetened.

This place has sweet locals in spades. But the food is just ok, and the beer selection is just mass-produced lagers. In all fairness, we didn't try the wings; we just had a bunch of appetizers. They were all fine, but they were most likely premade, frozen and then fried. The good news: the staff were great. Super friendly and helpful. Also, the bar itself was a cool, divey sports bar vibe.

She was friendly, pleasant, and chatty. She definitely enhanced our visit! And the food was totally awesome! It was our first time having poutine and I'm not sure it was standard (it had shredded cheese instead of cheese curds) but it was delicious! Like really really really good. The burger was juicy and thick. The fries were totally yummy. Kid #1 said the chicken parm sandwich was good, and I thoroughly enjoyed my Philly cheesesteak. The prices were totally reasonable, too! Definitely a bargain considering the decent price for excellent food! For sure we'd visit Cool Hand Luke's again!
