47 Best American Restaurants near Thorold

“My husband and I had a great meal at Cracker Jack's last night. He had the steak sandwich and I had the Buffalo chicken pizza. Great service and lots of t.v.s for my husband to watch sports!“

“I called the week before arriving to inquire about a large group seating, the hostess took my name, number and size of party. She asked me to call the day before to confirm, which I did. We arrived earlier than expected and had to wait a little bit so current diners could finish up and give the staff time to setup for the 38 of us. I was very pleased with how friendly and accommodating the staff was for the size of our group. A group of 38 adults and youth hockey players from is a lot to handle. Not one complaint from our large group. I would definitely recommend and will, happily, return when in the area again.“

“Our waitress made our day, she laughed and joked with us. She was one of the best, most attentive waitresses I have ever had. I drove about 45 minutes to Lundy Lane to eat your food. Hopefully she will be our waitress next time. Thank you Laurie!“

“We visited Turtle Jacks while on vacation. The food was excellent, but two servers that were in the place were not nice and did not want to serve us. Until Jen who was amazing. We sat there for 30 minutes and the two servers kept walking pass us like we didn't exist. At that point my husband and I were getting ready to walk out until Jen came over, she apologized for the delay and service. She gave us the BEST service ever. She went above and beyond ! Thank you JEN you made our experience at Turtle Jack GREAT!“

“Great food and wonderful staff.“

“We were pleasantly surprised that a restaurant so close to the falls would be such a fabulous experience! Wow!! Mary, our friendly hostess, was able to seat us even though we didn’t have reservations (on a Sunday afternoon)! Andrea, our server, was friendly, attentive and made great recommendations! We enjoyed a breathtaking view of the Falls while enjoying delicious cocktails (espresso martinis and Blueberry Lemonade Smash), the tasty short rib croquettes (my husband and sister thoroughly enjoyed the horseradish herb aioli), and Table Rock Burgers and Grilled Lamb Burger. The price of the drinks and food were extremely reasonable considering the location and the spectacular view. We will definitely return and will be happy to recommend Table Rock House to friends. Thanks for a most enjoyable experience today!!“

“I stayed there recently for a business trip! I had a wonderful experience with my stay and also had my mom there for her birthday. Foziye was so delightful making us our breakfast. She made amazing food and was very welcoming. She made us feel at home. We plan on coming back and hoping to see her! Thank you Hilton Team!“

“Enjoyed an excellent dinner tonight at Savor. Food was delicious-there were four of us—two of us had the pork chop and the other two had the Swiss burger. Well prepared, juicy, tasty. Would have again. The $30 prix fixe dinner offers appetizer (we had the crab cake and the goat cheese and quinoa salad), main course and dessert (all excellent). Student/servers did a great job. Hats off to the chefs. Will return. Make sure to get a reservation.“

“Dogs allowed on the patio! What a lovely experience with a view of the falls! They have a kids menu and even a doggy menu and will automatically bring your pup a bowl of water. We come here every time we come to Niagara falls. Their prices are reasonable and the food is good quality. They have the best toast and home fries in the morning for breakfast. The staff are super friendly. We don't know their names but we see the same guy every time we go and he is so friendly! Great service.“

“Went to the Kilt and Clover in Port Dalhousie today. The Thanksgiving poutine is a mountain of fries curds turkey and stuffing with lots of cranberry sauce on the summit. Two of us shared one and were stuffed full. Amazing! Friendly service and good prices on food and pints...oh yeah proper pints none of this 16oz BS that so many places do now. Great place. Will be back.“

“Very good food and drinks here. They had a live guitarist here last night. Great service, and it was very busy! The outside of the restaurant makes it look like a very small restaurant. In fact, all we could see from the street was the Hard Rock Cafe Gift Shop, and we wondered if there was a restaurant inside. We gave it a shot, parked the car, and walked in. Very deceiving. When you walk in, it still looks small. Until you realize there are two more dining rooms. It is a fairly large restaurant. Highly recommended!

“large portion, friendly, lot more expensive than U.S.“

“1st time trying the food at the dog house today! Omg I was extremely happy with the entire experience. I ordered fish and chips, onion rings and ate my husband's chicken tenders. I was full from eating my food but I honestly didn't want to stop eating cause it was so good. I highly recommend this place. Can't wait to go back. I fully intend on going there and trying every thing on the menu.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly. They have a wide variety of kid friendly food.“

“Fast service, great burgers! The fries were fabulous. Cash only establishment, and the outdoor seating is kind of worn down, but the food and service are right on target.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get a wheelchair under the overhang for eating outdoors.“

“We had breakfast at the Prime Steakhouse (Rainbow Room) two days in a row. Pros: On the first day, we were served by Zlatko who was very mature and paid attention to our needs. On the second day, we were served by Volkan who was very charismatic and interested in learning more about us. Both of these great servers made for a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The view was magnificent as you are able to see both the falls from the dining area. The food that they served was also good. Cons: There was not a huge selection available in the breakfast buffet. Sometimes it was also hard to identify certain foods because there was no labelling on any of the buffet items.“

“It’s really good…highly recommended“

“Sandra, our waitress, was exceptional and helpful. Lexia our hostess did a fabulous job also, considering the fire alarm went off while we were eating and everyone was helped out of the building safely and courteously! We will definitely return next year!“

“Placed order on line for delivery like we have many times before. Food arrived much faster than expected but there was a mix up on the order. When I called the restaurant, not only were they quick to make it right, they remade the entire order and sent the whole thing out to us again. Nice job guys! You went above and beyond today! We'll definitely be ordering from here again.“

“We went for a late lunch yesterday. Everything was amazing. Our server JoAnn went above and beyond to make our meal and experience perfect. We have been there many times but I would say yesterday was our best meal and service. Hope we get to sit in JoAnn's section when we return again next month.“

“Thank you so so much to the amazing team here! We came as a large group of 36 and they were so helpful throughout the whole process. They responded super quickly and professionally with all messages and they were super flexible. The waiter was incredibly friendly and was so attentive to everyone. I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for good food, great service, and fair prices.“

“My friend and I went out for dinner and had a server named Karlie she was the absolute best. If you find yourself at Swiss chalet place make sure you get Karlie as a service she was so kind and got you everything you asked for in a timely manner and was so polite!!“

“You can't beat the prices! 20 bucks gets you an amazing 10oz steak and sides, plus amazing staff and great owners! One of my favorite places in niagara falls!“

“This place is the antithesis of a homey diner. The building is old and has a lot of the original design elements, including rough plaster and wooden beams. There are plenty of seating and original booths and cafe bar. Their breakfast is textbook, and they have wonderful open faced roast beef sandwiches to die for, highly recommend for breakfast or lunch

“Amazing friendly staff great food very fresh clean place lots of parking“

“Zee’s Grill is an absolute gem in Niagara-on-the-Lake! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by our host, Jane, who had us laughing and feeling at home right away. Her recommendations were spot on, starting with the Big Head Malbec that perfectly complemented the incredible meal we were about to enjoy.

The atmosphere was as inviting as the food—elegant, cozy, and just the right vibe for a special night out. We indulged in a variety of dishes: beef tenderloin that was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, shrimp that was hands down the best I’ve ever had, and beautifully seared tuna. The Caesar salad and scallops were equally fantastic, each bite more impressive than the last.

Our server was an absolute delight—so sweet and knowledgeable, and she recommended a bottle of bubbles that paired perfectly with our meal. Every moment, from start to finish, was beyond enjoyable.

If you’re in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Zee’s Grill is an absolute must-visit. The food, the service, and the atmosphere are all 10/10. I can’t recommend it enough!“

“we took our daughter here for the first time while visiting Canada and we had so much fun, our waitress was FABULOUS...everyone was nice we will definitely be back on our next trip“

“I’ve lived in Niagara for 20 years and the Eager Beaver is our to go place now. Hands down the best chicken wings and pizza around. Our waitress Robin did an amazing job servicing my crew Saturday night. You definitely have to go and check it out. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you“

“service was excellent. food was delicious! great entertainment“

“Stopped in here for a burger and fries and was NOT disappointed!!! The burger was delicious! Cooked to perfection with great proportions on the toppings. The fries were hot, crispy and hit the spot! The service was friendly and fast!! When I am back in the area I will definitely be stopping by for a round two.“

“Always great burgers and one of the only (fast food) poutines I’ll eat, they also have some really great shakes and unique drink options. Been visiting this place for years and keep coming back

Parking: Plenty of parking with several adjacent free lots as well if it’s very busy, never had an issue finding a spot anytime of the year.“

“We loved the food at MJs. All homemade cooking. Fair price and delicious. Can’t eat for cheaper in the area!“

“We had a lunch date at Kully's today and it was excellent. The food was fresh, flavorful and came within a good period of time. I ordered a Miller lite, my friend ordered cocktails and was happy with how good they were. The server was friendly and attentive, took our orders and customized mine with ease, and the other server was also delightful! He would come out and check in when our first server was busy, ask if we needed anything, etc. Overall excellent service, food was delicious, drinks were wonderful! We will return another day ☺️“

“Good taste grilled burgers always! Newly renovated eating area, mixed farmy and industrial looking, relaxing! More booth installed, nice cushioned seats. Charging plugs at the side of the booth, very convenient. Great place to chill down after gym exercise.

Parking: Great location, just a couple of minutes off QEW on Mcleod road, nearby community center, Costco, Rona, walmart, theatre, dollarama.“

“Rickijo's has the best chicken wings I've ever had! Get them breaded, and go on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday when they have the special. They have a bunch of different flavours, all of them are great. So tasty!

Update: seven years later and these are still the best wings I've ever had ❤️

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and high chairs, colouring pages and crayons.“

“I loved this burger joint so much after purchasing 2 combos, one for my wife and one for myself. I went back and bought an Angus burger. The girls were very kind here. This visit was very good for me. I was very hungry. As a matter of fact, I was starving. I had not ate for 2 days.

Parking: Lots. Choose one“

“Lovely staff! Spacious, clean and something for the whole family!“

“Well, we drove from N Falls to Welland to try this outstanding pizza and wings. It was outstanding ! Pizza used cup & char pepperoni done to perfection and dough was fabulous. Chicken wings were huge and reminded us of Buffalo wings 20 years ago in Buffalo. No bruises on these wings A1 quality . They actual use butter and hot sauce for the type of wings we chose. Worth the drive and excellent price , staff was amazing .Ryan & Tracey got his down to a science . We'll be back“
