50 Best American Restaurants near Fort Erie

“Love our weekly visits to trail sides, steak salad and the spicy garlic parm wings out of this world, I have never had chicken wings ever at a better establishment. You will not be disappointed, The atmosphere is awesome. The drink options are excellent, It's always a great time“

“Hey, if you like country music and enjoy a country western style environment, this is the place for you. Nothing fancy here. It's just a casual place to have a few drinks and some pub grub with some friends or family. Have never been in the evening, but I believe they have dancing at night, probably on the weekends. And i believe they have bands playing. Food wise, we only ever had the platter of food for sharing. On our first visit there, we had a nice variety of items to enjoy on the platter, the second time not so much, but what was included was tasty. Only one lady working during the day, when we have been, she was nice and accommodating. Overall, no complaints. If you go, just keep in mind it's an older place with a very casual environment.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.“

They truly saved the day after we were saddened by going to Coco Bar & Bistro’s service, we tried here again and it was one of the best meals we’ve had in buffalo. I had the winter chowder and my partner had the maple dijon glazed pork belly and both were phenomenal. and the wait staff was so nice!“

“Beautiful atmosphere, hand crafted cocktails, fresh seafood, amazing desserts and attentive servers. What more do you need to know. If you haven’t tried this place yet, what are you waiting for?“

“We had a date night in the area and I had heard of Squire’s so we thought we’d give it a try. It’s a quaint place with a dining room on one side and a bar down the other. We stopped on a Saturday night around 6:00 and the dining room was full so we sat at the bar. Rick was running the bar and we was fantastic. Such a nice and helpful guy. It was a pleasure to meet him. I had the pot roast special with fries and gravy while my wife had The Warrior which was a classic Beef on Weck with 5 wings. I couldn’t have cooked it better myself ! Everything was perfect. After our visit this place moved up near the top of places we like to visit. Cozy, casual and quant place to get great food, great service and a glass of spirits !“

“Great food ! Came out fast and was hot and fresh. Definitely would recommend The Place if you are looking for a good meal at a reasonable price.“

“We love Jimmy’s! It’s like enjoying a home cooked meal when we are in Buffalo. I had an omelette with feta that was delicious. The home fries were so flavorful, with onions and the right amount of crunch. My sister has her home fries with the Greek chili sauce! I should have followed her lead. The service is fast and friendly. The food is always fresh and tasty!“

“Fried Green Tomatoes, Brisket, Pulled Pork, Potato Salad and Mac & Cheese with some Corn Bread. Food was good but honestly the service was better! I would say the food was mid, mediocre to good. But the service I received was amazing! My waitress was so pleasant and bubbly. She made the experience nice!“

“Got the lobster ravioli and it was to die for! Bartender Mindy was a delight, efficient, friendly, and always smiling. The atmosphere was really relaxing, it was our first time there and we will certainly be returning. Can’t believe we didn’t come here sooner!“

“Went there before a play for dinner at Shea's Buffalo. This place is on the Chippewa bar strip, so we were not expecting much. Walking inside, it looks like a typical party/cocktail bar, brick walls, long bar, and tables opposite the bar with plastic chairs and Formica tables, so you are sitting in the bar. At 5:30PM on restaurant week before a nearby playing of Hamilton, we were the only diner's there (and only 4 others at the bar). Now the good part.... one of the best meals I have had in a long time!!!!! Waitress/bartender was prompt, attentive and friendly. The special for restaurant week that we had was $35 for soup/salad (I had soup), Duck with asparagus, yams, sprouts and and pie for dessert. This meal was fabulous! Perfect portion and perfect flavor. The caramel/peanut butter pie was luscious! On top of all this, we were there during happy hour, so $3 a beer. I highly recommend trying this place to eat, just don't expect a cozy, intimate atmosphere. You won't be disappoints, and you won't be broke.“

“This small business has a great family vibe. The food was ahmazing! the meatballs with ricotta are like no other. Their chicken, stuffed mushrooms, and roast beef were cooked and seasoned to perfection. They have a lot of seafood options, clams and scalops too. The owner and chef, Mark is out and about interacting with patrons and even plays the harmonica for you! He is very talented, he vame out to play happy birthday for someone across the restaurant and even came over to our work christmas party to play some christmas music. It is a gem of a place, if you are in kenmore and want dinner or just a glass of wine at a quiet bar or a warm friendly place, they are wonderful. I highly recommend them for dinner and small business dinner parties.“

“The Celtic Menu was planned for this week and a friend and I ordered the Seafood light cream soup and Fall salad with romaines, toasted hazelnuts, grilled orange slices,et cetera to start ! Each was so very delicious ! Before that we were given their complimentary amusebusce ( sp.? ) of their homegrown cherry tomatoes, flavored butter and asparagus. The breadbasket had Irish soda bread,and one other roll. My entree was two pieces of beautifully fried fish, and shoestring French fries,and Cole slaw. Best that I’ve ever had ! Another entree was a lamb pasty with vegetables. The crust was marvelous and the lamb gently seasoned. We could not resist the ‘pot pie’ on a light,crust with delicious vegetables. 2 desserts were offered but we must leave room for those on another visit ! The chef takes time to come out to the tables to check about the food,and the staff is VERY attentive . This was a wonderful experience, as every time we attend ! Treat yourself !“

“Played course since the 70's - weekend trips!!!!!“

“2nd time ordering she doesn’t disappoint ! Ordered from Uber eats - from the thoughtfulness of the packaging to the amazing taste; food slaps. Highly recommend!!“

“Went to celebrate a friends job promotion and had a wonderful time here. I had the P250 burger, which was not only reasonably priced for this place but very delicious. Really enjoyed the shoestring fries as well and trying a different appetizers that were ordered for the table. Though I’m completely blanking on our servers name, he was fantastic and so accommodating for our party.“

“On the phone Alex is especially great. He was very accommodating.“

“First time breakfast, eggs and bacon were perfect, one slice of toast is a bit skimpy and home fries looked from frozen, so I guess my review is mixed. Onions in home fries should be no charge.“

“Great food place with great atmosphere!! I have a tradition Bloody Mary and mixed berry French toast casserole and my friend had a grasshopper boozy coffee with the pulled pork Benedict.“

“Service was fantastic !!! Food and drinks were great .“
