“Stepping through the doors of TK's I felt as though I had wandered into a dream—one where candlelight glows like captured starlight and the air itself seems perfumed with possibility. Yet even in a place so artfully enchanted, nothing could have prepared me for the poutine that arrived before me like a revelation on porcelain. This was not merely poutine. This was a culinary sonnet, a whisper from the gastronomic heavens. A dish so sublime it felt almost mischievous to call it by its familiar name. The Wisconsin cheese curds announced themselves with unapologetic pride. You could taste their birthplace—lush dairy fields, cows humming contentedly, the whole pastoral romance. Each curd held its integrity just long enough to declare, “Yes, I am from Wisconsin,” before surrendering into a gentle, buttery melt that can only be described as perfection liquefied. They didn’t just melt—they blossomed across the warm potatoes in creamy, celestial ribbons. And then there was the demi-glace. Oh, the demi-glace. Calling it a “half” anything feels adorably modest. This sauce was appropriately named only because it is indeed better than half of a glace—it may be better than all of them. A rich, velvety pool of umami velvet, it cascaded over the fries with the elegance of a silk gown in motion. Deep, complex, and infinitely comforting, it managed to be both bold and tender at once, like a secret told in a familiar voice. And what of the phrase “better than Canada”? Risky, perhaps. Blasphemous to some. But after a forkful of this poutine—this enchanted mosaic of potato, curd, and demi-decadence—I found myself whispering it involuntarily. Not out of disrespect for our northern culinary champions, but because sometimes a creation transcends borders and loyalties altogether. This poutine is not better than Canada because it compares itself— It is better because it dares not. It simply is. In short, the dish is a masterpiece. A warm, glowing, cheese-laden love letter to indulgence itself. If a restaurant can be judged by its poutine, then TK's is nothing short of the north star of flavorful delirium. The view of the falls isn't demi bad either.“

“Been coming here for years. Love this place. The owners are like family and to top it off the food is amazing especially the Dale 37 burger! Highly recommend!“

“always great...!! been coming here for near 50 years 🙂“

“Great food! The hostess/server was very friendly and accommodating. We went for breakfast, but they serve food all day. The sausage gravy and biscuits is a definite must! Also try the homemade corned beef hash and sausage! They serve coffee from Finger Lakes Coffee Roasters which is yummy! There's also a full bar if you'd like a cocktail or beer with your meal. If you can find the door, definitely worth stopping in! 😂“

“Went here for Valentine’s Day and our anniversary this year! The Delmonico steak was amazing and cooked perfect to our liking! Staff are so friendly and the service was fast! Highly recommend!“

“Such great, mouth watering burgers! With three boys this made for full happy bellies! Wings are big too! My favorite though is the fried veggies as I’m a vegetarian and would not have thought they’d even be on the menu!?!? Spring & summertime fun too??? Win, win, and win!!! Would highly recommend!“

“My elderly dad was having a fit about his Beef on Wek sandwich not being right, after I explained to him that it was, but two different management people very patiently worked with him on it three different times and tried to get it to what his expectations were. I was losing patience and never really got to eat my meal because I was attending to dad. I just wanted to thank you (at the Avon location) for helping me through this and not making it worse! Thanks“

“Thank you to the very kind lady, that paid for our lunch today, on veterans day, made my husband veterans day extra special“

“Great food and awesome waitresses!“

“We had a great time and experience here at Petals. They have a great selection of food to order. We got the appetizer called the munchies. The appetizer called the munchies is the perfect combination of a little bit of everything on the appetizer menu all on one dish. The service was good and fast. The bartender was very friendly, attentive, and is very good at what he does. The atmosphere is very laid back lounge feel. Petals is inside the hotel. Both sides of Petals is very laid back.“

“Delicious. My family has never had a problem. My favorite part of Rucks is all the different kinds of pizzas. So much more variety than just pepperoni and cheese.“

“Great place, friendly people.“

“Some of the best bbq I've had in a while. The ribs are divine. Baked beans are killer. Cornbread moist and scrumptious. Great flavor on the pulled pork and a nice sized slab of perfectly cooked brisket. Loved having 4 different sauces on the table to try. Bought a bottle to take home.We will definitely be back.“

“The staff have always been extremely friendly, pleasant, cheerful, and respectful while on the phone, during deliveries, as well as in person. I enjoy their interaction.“
