    On a Saturday night one of the only places without a line up. Service was friendly. Washrooms were problematic, (lost them a star). Pizza took a long time and was okay - the sauce was the weak point. (Tastes canned). Felt like this was a place more for locals than tourists. Kind of a young crowd. Highlight was the nineties sound track (Got them an extra star).

    Easily the best wings this side of the border. We ordered several pounds of all different wings. Pizza was on par. Our server Issac was a very kind person and gave out stellar recommendations. Only downfall is a very limited selection of beer. Highly recommended! Thank you so much! Will be back asap! 💯👍

    Stopped in last night for some dinner around 8:20pm, this was the only restaurant with no line so we decided to give it a try.. that was mistake number 1. We ordered a beer and a water before ordering pizza and wings for dinner. Server never checked on us. We waited until 9pm before leaving and deciding to go somewhere else. In the 40 minutes that we waited for our food (that never showed up) we watched the staff take shots behind the bar for everyone to see. Very disappointed in this experience since the reviews seemed decent. Won’t ever go again and will not recommend to our friends.

    Small location pizza and wings were good! Service a bit slow but they made all the food warm and fresh. Good food, but a bit expensive for the toppings on a pizza.

    Great atmosphere just off the crowded strip. The food is tasty and the cheese dip is pretty amazing. The pizza is delicious and beer is tasty. Nothing on tap, which would be preferable, but the selection is still good and decently priced. Funny; it was my first time there, but had a very familiar feeling. Almost like home.

    We went here on the May long weekend Saturday because it had good reviews... it was meh. There was 8 of us getting drinks and light snacks and it took and HOUR to get a few baskets of fries, spinach dip and some chicken wings. It would make sense if it was busy... it was dead, which was not a good sign for the May long weekend. There was maybe 2-4 other people already in there when we got there. The fountain drinks tasted horrible. My friend complained and said the diet pepsi tasted like nothing and the waitress said "yes people say that, it's just our lines". Like... what. Get it fixed then or don't charge $4 for a glass of pop that's just carbonated water. The plates were dirty, so we didn't use them. The only good thing was the basket of fries was delicious and I hear the spinach dip was also good. I would not go back or recommend.

    Outstanding wings. Crisp and flavorful. Order extra sauce if you like them saucy.

    No beer on tap. Only in bottle. We also bought some salsa and guacamole, which we waited for 30 minutes.(at one point we taught they forgot about us.) The salsa came from a Tostito's jar and the guacamole was also pre-baught. So, I paid 45$ for 3 bottled bears and store bought salsa, guacamole and chips. Don't make the mistake I did and avoid this place.

    A patio literally on the street. The restaurant has cordoned off one way of the street for its patio setting. This place was full but we could get a reservation easily. Instead of waiting in huge lines for branded big restaurants we can try the local favs. this was very close to our parking as well. we got a beef burger which was okay. nothing too great about the beef patty. Chicken tenders and wings. Wings were really good! Its nice place to spend a casual evening for beer and wings with family & friends. The service was pretty quick and the staffs were very friendly. will definitely vista again

    Didn't have the food because I wasn't hungry, so no stars for that. I'm from out of town and the service is bar none better than any place I've been in Niagra falls. Been several times on my trip and found out it's a family run business. Could not recommend a better place.

  • 5/5 Ms Stephanie F. 4 months ago on Google
    Little bar like a hole in the wall. But amazing pizza!! Drinks were cold and fantastic. Excellent food and service! We always come to Yanks for pizza on a Friday night when we visit. Hidden gem. Shhh. Don’t tell too many ppl.

  • 5/5 Joshua A. 3 months ago on Google New
    Wonderful food and amazing service! The pizza was so tasty! The sauce was amazing, and the crunch of the crust was phenomenal! Kirsten served us, and she was a true pleasure! My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed her kindness and humour!

    Great food! Nice staff. Long Island had more of a soda taste but still got the job done.

  • 5/5 Jose S. 8 months ago on Google
    My family and I were looking for a local place to eat for our last night in Niagara Falls and we happen to ran into Yanks. It looks like a little hole in the wall bar but the food and service was amazing. My wife the wings which one of the best wings we’ve had in awhile and the burgers and fries awesome. If your looking for good food at a good price I would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Erin 10 months ago on Google
    Awesome experience. Nice setting, good food, huge portions. Excellent service. I had the Yankee steak and cheese with poutine. No cheese curds, just melted mozzarella cheese. Kids had grilled cajun chicken sandwiches, lots of chicken on it, and a Quesadilla, which they both enjoyed. Will go back again when visiting Niagara Falls.

  • 5/5 Randy A. 10 months ago on Google
    Tour guide recommended wings here. They were awesome. Server Kari(?spelling) was awesome. If ever back in area would love to try their pizza.

  • 5/5 Becky 10 months ago on Google
    Cozy place! American style incredibly friendly stuff. Stopped by for their famous cocktails and it was a pleasant visit.

  • 5/5 Jessica C. 3 months ago on Google New
    Food was great, came out and fresh. Excellent service and a really great atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping in for a bite & beer!

  • 3/5 Alex 9 months ago on Google
    I went with a friend at 7pm on a Sunday night and we were the only ones in the restaurant. Told that they were only serving wings and pizza, which was dissapointing because they had some other things on the menu that looked good. Food was decent, service was good and there was a free pool table (missing 2 balls though). Experience was fine but wouldn't go back

  • 4/5 J L. 1 year ago on Google
    Yeah not bad but not fantastic. No draft beer which is always disappointing but plenty Canadian ones in bottles. I didn't try the food but only because I'd eaten already. Plenty folks were getting tucked in though.

  • 5/5 L B. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome service and the food was excellent. We got the New York style pizza w/ mushroom and tomatoes, big Ethel burger with cheese,grilled onions and bacon, basket of shoestring fries, 2 single crown royals, 2 long island ice teas and we spent less than $100.00 cad ....Will definitely return.

  • 1/5 Evan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible service- We got our drinks right away after being seated, but after not getting a menu brought to us for over half an hour, we had to get up and ask for them. Waitress did not introduce herself, or try and make any sort of conversation with us, didn’t seem like she cared to help us. After being ignored by staff for 15 more minutes, we had to flag down a waiter and get him to put in our orders. We waited another half hour and finally got our meals, and 4/6 of them were wrong. After telling the waitress a burger was made wrong, she snapped back at us and said to remove the toppings we didn’t want. In our 2 hours there the waiter/waitress came to our table 4 times total, and 2 of those times we had to flag them down. The restaurant wasn’t even busy, and even if it was, they should be apologizing for the wait and letting us know that they haven’t forgotten about us. The food actually was pretty good, but the service was terrible. Overall not a good experience at this restaurant, take your business elsewhere. If restaurant owner reads this, your staff need to be retrained on customer service.

    I was there August 23/2002 and the waiter a young lady blond hair short jeans did something very wrong. The bill was 62 Canadian dollars and when I ask her about in America dollars she said: Is the same! SHAME SHAME SHAME … she did get only 2$ tip.

  • 5/5 Owen R. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been coming here for years, and I have never been disappointed. It's a great vibe here, and the food is always good. I'd even argue it may be the home of the best pizza in the city. The bar has a lot to offer. Coming in to shoot some pool, watch sports, or just have a night out, it's a great spot. You can't really go wrong stopping in here.

  • 1/5 YDB 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible service. Waited 45 minutes for a poutine order and that’s it. Just the poutine. I can literally make this at home in 10 minutes. Restaurant was half empty. No excuse cuz the drinks were still coming out. Only recommend if you wanna wait for your food and then never get it. (No we never got the poutine)

  • 4/5 Jared G. 1 year ago on Google
    There wasn't much going on when we went, which seemed odd for a bar so close to all the action. Regardless, it was Thursday and their special was $3 draft. No complaints from our group; we were satisfied. Good spot for affordable drinks near Clifton Hill.

  • 4/5 Michael R. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly bar with fair drink prices for Niagara Falls! Great beer selection

  • 5/5 Javier P. 5 years ago on Google
    The best pizza ever, thin and crispy, you also get to pick real toppings and that was my favourite part. The place is tiny but the food is plenty. Plenty of beers to chose from and a full bar. Free use of the pool table and good friendly service. We also had poutine and it was good. Decent washrooms and not far from all the action around the tourist area.

  • 5/5 Karen B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing little hidden gem. The staff is incredibly friendly. Service is fast. Small menu, but there's definitely a little something for everyone. HIGHLY recommend the nachos. To do for.

  • 5/5 Jo-an S. 2 years ago on Google
    I love their “Cheesecake”! It tastes so good! The service is good and there’s a parking nearby.
