27 Best American Restaurants in Lockport

“Hilltop catered our wedding this past Saturday for over 200 people and it was absolutely incredible!!! We knew from our tasting that Hilltop was our winner! Everything was amazing; the display, the service, the ease and speed of the buffet and most importantly the food!!! We had people coming up to us all night raving about how this was the best food they have ever had at a wedding and people called and sent texts the next day still raving! Crystal is amazing and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a perfect celebration! We cannot thank Hilltop enough for helping us have the wedding of our dreams!“

“We always enjoy our trips to Shamus. We enjoy everything about the experience. Very pleasant people and excellent background music. My fish and chips was very good and they had no problem with a substitution. My wife ordered twin filets. We've found many restaurants are using tenderizer on their meat. No so here. The filets were outstanding. While there, we ordered the beef with Stout gravy to take out. It's been excellent at the restaurant, but the takeout was just marginal. The gravy was milky and the flavor rather bland. Hopefully they haven't changed the recipe from the rich brown stout gravy. That's the only reason the food didn't get five stars. WE aren't really dessert people, but in the past we've had no complaints on that front. Shamus is our home away from home for a great meal with really nice atmosphere.“

“Listen here! I spent right at $50 getting my wife and I a burger and fries. We were very anxious to spend this much for 2 meals coming off of door dash in the first place. I was proven so wrong in my doubts. This was the ABSOLUTE BEST burger I have ever had from any restaurant. Hand made not frozen like I expected yet was proven wrong. Grilled perfectly! Fresh Veggies! And not a single mess up with the order.. my only gripes were as follows.. please put a warning on the door dash app when someone chooses to make it a double. Took everything to fit my mouth on the burger lmfao. And more fries .. we got a hand full or so .. but all in all you guys get my applause and high recommendation to any and everyone who wants a quality burger.“

“Very accommodating, friendly awesome sub!! Thank you so much!! So appreciated. I also bought a cannoli! Let me tell you it was delicious! Crispy outside perfectly sweet inside 😋❤️“

“best pancakes 🥞 around you won't find any better. and not to mention their omelets are absolutely perfect“

“Been going to Sunny's for many years and will continue to do so. One of the best places to eat that Lockport has. Plus, if there's an issue with an order they always make it right. Today I had ordered a large cheese and pepperoni pizza. Got it home and it was super, SUPER thin. Like paper thin. I don't know if thin and crispy crust is an option, but if it is I'm guessing my order just got mixed up with someone else's. Anyway, I called Sunny's up, explained the situation and within 20 minutes a fresh and properly made replacement was waiting for me. That's great service!“

“First time here in years... our bartender Jamie was slammed. she kept up with everyone, and never lost her smile. WNY need more bartenders like that.... We'll be back because of her“

“Went to Applebee's 6/23/25. New manager, new employees and none of them are customer friendly. Asked for water w/lemon and after 20 minutes still did not have water. Asked to have the table rewashed as it was dirty, 15 mins later table still dirty. Ordered the bacon burger with applesauce instead of fries (no problems the last 2x I ordered the same meal) and the manager said no. When I told her I've gotten it previously she said it figures and rolled her eyes. She refused to let me get applesauce and we still didn't have our drinks so we got up and left. Table of 4 next to us sat 20 minutes and waitress still did not acknowledge them being there so they got up and left as well. If this is going to be the norm for the new management then I see them losing a lot of business.

Update 7/2/2025: new manager Mike contacted me regarding my negative review. He was apologetic and wanted to make it right. He asked me to come in again and give it another try so I did. The bacon cheeseburger was the juiciest one I ever had and I did get my applesauce. The waiter was very friendly, competent and attentive. I appreciate the issue being handled professionally and quickly so I will be going back again. Thank you so much Mike for giving me a way better experience!
