50 Best American Restaurants near Fort Erie

“My experience was fantastic. We went there on November 20, 2025. Our wait staff was over the top. He kept checking on us. The only thing that I wasn't happy with was that they don't let you keep the itemized receipt at the end of your meal. My Fish dinner was out of this world and Haley's roast beef sandwich was also excellent. Everyone treated us so nice there.“

“We had the pleasure of being served by Logan who had just moved here from Kelowna. We were a party of 9 and all 9 of us ordered wings which on a Saturday night I know can be pretty hectic and his service along with the restaurants promptness is what’s making me right this. Everything came out perfectly the way we ordered, very quickly and all with a smile. Wings were excellent and the flavours were great. There was even someone coming over to all the tables to clear old bottles, plates etc. food and drinks were very reasonably priced and I know next time I’m in Crystal beach I’ll be back! Keep up the great job!“

“Best steak sub in town, and I have tried them all!“

“We stopped in on a Tuesday because we were shopping in the area and are so glad we did! The waitstaff was friendly and attentive, the ambiance was nice (maybe the music could be lowered), and the food was amazing! I had the duck two ways and it was gorgeous and perfectly cooked. He had the enormous pork chop, also cooked perfectly and juicy. Great cocktails and apps as well. Highly recommend.“

“Place is amazing. Food is always great. Great specials. Portions are always big and the price is reasonable. Staff is just so darn nice as well! I go every week basically!“

“Wow, Very impressed with the food and service. First time there and it won't be the last...“

“Every time I’ve eaten at the Phoenix 269 the food was incredible- the service is perfect. I love the atmosphere and the patio. It’s a cozy, family run business that makes you feel like your eating with family! I had the shrimp dish / it was delicious. The ice cream pie was unbelievably good! I’ll be back.“

“We just enjoyed a wonderful Breakfast with Santa at The Tewksbury Lodge for the third year in a row. Everything was amazing! The food, the service and the atmosphere were all top notch. Our granddaughters, 5 & 3 yrs old were so excited. Santa greeted all the kids as he entered, and then was so sweet and kind to the all the kids as they were called up, by table, to visit with him at his special chair. Each child received a bag of goodies. You could feel the magic in the air and on the smiles of the kids, parents and grandparents. The Tewksbury Lodge has this breakfast down to a science, systematic and efficient while not rushing at all. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas experience! We'll definitely be back next year! Merry Christmas!“

“This is such a cool, new and chill restaurant and bar. I really enjoying old fashions, and I know how difficult it is to make one and always make it the same. The bartenders have such great skills and training that I couldn’t even tell which ones made them, as they each tasted the same and amazing.“

“Best place in town. The food is fantastic and always consistent. Reasonably priced as well.“

Looking forward to trying different flavors and walking through the park this summer!“

“I can't say enough good things about this place! The oxtail was literally falling off the bone, so tender and full of flavor. The rice and beans were absolutely delicious, and that macaroni and cheese—no extra seasoning needed; it was perfect! And the green beans? Dropped-to-the-bone delicious. This place needs to stay open forever—I'll be coming back for sure!“

“Omg! The food was wonderful! My granddaughter even ate all of her food and never usually does. My hubby couldn’t even finish his dinner!

“Best location! Top brunch place ever!“

“Students do an excellent job and will be fine additions to any establishment. Before going to the Sabres game, having lunch with the culinary students of ECC. Pear-gorganzola with crispy prosciutto, Osso Bucco veal shanks, limoncello Semifreddo and fresh bread with garlic butter and pesto. Sometimes I'm hesitant to tell you where the good stuff is, because you have to make reservations and I don't want it to get over crowed as it does sometimes 😆“

“We Love Mitchell’s tavern! The food is great, inexpensive and consistent! They have some great girls working there too but the best is Jennifer! She’s always so nice, friendly and accommodating! Never had a bad experience here! 10/10 would recommend!“

“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.“

“Mallwitz family provides a great atmosphere embracing community and friends along with outstanding service!“

“The food was The bomb, the drinks was the bomb, the waitress was the bomb !!“

“Best Roast Beef sandwich!“

“Jimmy's Texas Hot is one of my favorite lunch spots, especially on Mondays when I'm in the area. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. The owner is professional, friendly, and always takes the time to have a great conversation with customers. Nothing earns more respect from me than seeing an owner working behind the counter right alongside the staff. That's exactly why I believe people should support small businesses like this. The food is consistently excellent I honestly haven't had a bad meal there. If you're looking for a delicious meal in a comfortable setting with great service, I highly recommend Jimmy's Texas Hot.“

“Great food, bartenders were awesome. The beers were fresh and there were plenty to choose from. One thing it does need is another TV at the other side of the bar. This would help when there are any home games on, you can watch it from either side of the bar.“

“Awesome food! Great service LOVE it here!“

“Excellent food will definitely be our regular go to. Our waitress Tatiana was very professional and sweet.We highly recommend The Delaware you won't be disappointed.“

“Went to Betty’s today for a little brunch/lunch today! We had Brian as our server, he was super attentive, gave great recommendations, and kept our waters refilled (huge plus). The portions were perfect if not bigger than we could eat. We enjoyed the patio and being able to eat outside. Definitely will be back!“

“We had Easter brunch today and it was fantastic! Both of my kids loved it! So friendly and nice! And super reasonable! Already looking forward to their normal brunch on the weekends!! And the 2nd floor is so pretty and airy ❤️“

“My husband and I went here on Thanksgiving Day 2025, OMG, When I tell you, Everything was Perfect, THE Greeting at the Door, They took our Coats, Seated us, The Waitress was Amazing, Food Was Fantastic, Scenery was Beautiful, I highly recommend this Place, Thank you 😊“
