    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!

    I was looking for somewhere to eat with 5 friends after driving over the bridge. We found Yanks on yelp and I wish we didn't. I didn't like this place because: - there is no parking - the service is incredibly slow. we waited over an hour for our food. there was 1 other table at the restaurant, so it wasn't because they were busy - The food was mediocre. Between six people we tried A LOT. Caesar salad has no Parmesan cheese on it. Pizza is grease with a side of bread and cheese. Wings don't have enough sauce. Mexican casserole uses the cheap tortilla chips that you find at the ball park. - they were out of the cider we wanted to order - there is no music. and no juke box. The food prices are cheap, and the server friendly but not attentive. I recommending finding a better place to eat.

Almost all of the tables have a falls view. The food was awesome. We ordered the fixed 3 course meal and so glad we did. We started with brussel sprouts and super salad. We were in heaven. 2nd course was the pasta, short ribs and upgraded to pork chops. We were all happy with our choices. The only critic would be my broccolini. It looked overcooked. Desserts were to die for. Went for the cheesecake and the strawberry rhubarb. Can't go wrong with any of the dessert choices. I highly recommend this place.

We got seated at the end of the restaurant closest to the falls. We arrived around 6pm with no wait to get seated and it got busy around 7pm. Our server was wonderful and was definitely very well versed in the menu and speciality dishes. My favorite was the maple pecan cheesecake. It was so soft and had such a nice crust. We got the Cowboy Ribeye medium done, but to be honest, it looked more rare. This steak wasn't the best and didn't fully satisfy my taste preference, but flavor was good. Green Goddess Orecchiette Pasta was my favorite entree with the perfect seasoning and flavor to the sauce. The mushroom, roasted tomato and cheese were all such great additions to the dish too. But the pasta shells were cooked slightly too soft for my liking.

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!

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.

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!
