    Let's start with the good. The outside seating has a nice vibe on an evening. Inside seems nice enough. Waitress are friendly . Food came quickly. Bad: waited to be seated for over 10mins and the place was empty. Maybe 3 tables seated. Almost felt deserted. Which is also felt with the service. Seemed the server was busy but there really wasn't anyone to have her busy. Seems they all just hang out in the kitchen/back and come out every so often. Food was mediocre to say the least. Jalapeño dip doesn't really taste much like jalapeños but more like a cream cheese dip. Soup wasn't bad but wasn't great. Really wasn't that impressed with menu or the food we ordered. The only thing exciting about the drinks were the names of them. The presentation wasn't the best nor was the flavour. I hate when I write these kind of reviews but sometimes you just gotta be honest with the experience so others don't have to feel it. This place has a lot of potential but maybe better management is required. Not sure. Experience was very bland. Not one to recommend. But if you want to have a pint of beer and sit out on patio in peace probably isn't a bad idea.

    The only thing nice about here is the view. Went yesterday and there was about 6 people at lunch hour. The hostess/waitress acted as though it was the busiest day of her life. Even though our table was her only one and another waitress had the other tables……... We watched a couple leave after being dismissed by our waitress - probably should of done the same. While ordering, I let her know I have an allergy and when asking if something was safe just shrugged - no help or offer to go ask the chef. Food was gross - pretty sure the chicken was a frozen cutlet heated up and the burger was on a wonder bread bun. Highly suggest elsewhere!

    Attentive and friendly service throughout. I got the California burger with fries and it was delicious. Fries were made well. Everyone at my table seemed fairly happy with their food as well. It's winter now but would totally enjoy that patio out back in the summer.

    I really can't say enough about this place! The food, service, drinks, everything is outstanding! So many things on the menu, we've been a few times to try a bunch! The French onion soup and the seafood pasta being my favorites! Prices are so reasonable! And when your there, you'll see the owner, with his sleeves rolled up, bringing food out, cleaning tables, helping his staff!! Those are the restaurants I wanna support!

    Went there on a Sunday evening for a late lunch. Really liked the patio seats on the back, has a nice view to enjoy a good meal and a drink. Staff is friendly and courteous. Was expecting the drinks and food to come a bit sooner, but that's alright for the weekend. Would love to see more variety in the menu.

    My husband and I absolutely loved this place! The service was amazing. They would check on our food and keep us updated on when the food and drinks wer coming which didn't take long at all. We never had to wave them down because the staff was always there, even though it was a busy night. All the staff was knowledgeable about the drink menus and pairings which made it easier on us to decide what to get.upper deck is like a wonderful family who all work well together. We will definitely return!

    Absolutely fabulous! The staff here are just peachy!! Bathroom smell like a garden, the food and atmosphere are a 5 star experience! Yes, I am a regular here. But it doesn’t change who the people are that own and work here. I promise they will not talk to you the way they talk to me. It took years for me to earn that. Lol come on by and prove me wrong.

    If dining with a view was an Olympic sport, Upper Deck would be taking home the gold, silver, and bronze! The panorama from my seat was more breathtaking than trying to suck up a bowling ball with a vacuum cleaner. Now, let's talk food. I was expecting taste, but what I got was a flavour symphony conducted by the culinary masters themselves. The prices? In an era when inflation is treating our wallets like they're on a roller coaster ride, Upper Deck is the sensible friend saying, "Hey, relax, have a great meal, and no, I won't rob you blind." Disappointment? Not even in the same dictionary as Upper Deck. The staff was friendlier than a golden retriever on a sunny day, and the servings were more generous than my grandma during Christmas. The only real disappointment is that I didn't find this hidden gem sooner.

    Ordered the Grownup Grilled cheese with bacon and brie. Disappointed as it came on soggy white bread and was poorly put together. Perhaps if you used a thick cut bread it would be better.

    Great atmosphere and a fantastic view! Unfortunately, it was too cold to sit outside, but the staff could get us a table by the window to enjoy the view! The taco salad was superb, and the portion was significant. The white sangria is a must try!

  • 3/5 Graham W. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful restaurant with lovely view. The menu is a little limited although the food is well presented and tasty. Very quiet and an older crowd. Lots of TVs around which don't seem to be in keeping with the rest of the place and are really just distracting in what is an otherwise mellow ambience.

    Bit of a mixed experience for me. Ate in a few times, but inside of restaurant had an overpowering bleach smell. I just started eating on patio and solved that issue. I'm a a pretty light eater, so usual a few drinks, and a salad and tacos that I share with my wife. Food is always fine. Last visit was marred by inattentive staff. After food was delivered, was never approached again. Would have liked another drink. After another 25 minutes tried to get my bill. Finally went inside to pay my bill and was given a bit of attitude. Wouldn't be inside if I could get help outside! Convenient location for me but lots of choice in the area.

    On the way to the US I looked up food nearby and this spot was the first to pop up. Was not disappointed had quick responsive service when we came in. The drinks, appetizers, food came out quick and they were really good. If you’re looking for a nice little spot with a nice view out of the back. This is a good option.

    Don't be fooled by the exterior! This place has delicious food, excellent staff and a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommend the fish tacos and Oreo cheesecake in a mason jar (THE BEST!) They also have an awesome heated patio. We saw a deer out in the field last summer while having a cold draft and some wings!

  • 5/5 Grethe N. 9 months ago on Google
    Excellent service - staff seem to really enjoy working there. We love the fish tacos and a nice cold draft. Great outdoor patio area as well.

  • 4/5 Virgil T. 8 months ago on Google
    Having driven passed a number of times, a friend and I decided to pop-in. The patio in the back is quite nice as it overlooks a green space and the service was tremendous. The food was just okay however... I contemplated the steak sandwich and was advised otherwise and I appreciated that. I had the adult grilled cheese and it was good. Just good. My friend and I had a great time there and will definitely return but it won't necessarily be for the food.

    I had the chicken Supreme and it was the best. I really enjoyed the vegetables and I got a great portion. They were not hard but cooked to perfection. I have never had such tasty vegetables. I felt that one server was a little aggressive but I dealt kindness to her and asked her to give me a moment so we could find our money.

  • 2/5 Judy Van Z. 7 months ago on Google
    Very disappointing this evening. Tried to order Rolling Rock...just to be told it was out. Second pitcher we tried to order Corona but again... Out! Tried to order Beef on a Bun... Guess what... Manager whispered in servers ear "don't think it one the menu anymore".... And it was no longer available! Ordered Steak Sandwiches... Med rare....both were over cooked.... One sent back... At the end of the night.... We approached manager at the end of evening to express our disappointment... His reply.... "I took care of you". Well no you didn't... Your server did... And she was awesome by the way! No wonder your parking lot was empty at 9:30 on a Saturday night! NEVER going back...

    Overall, my experience at Upper Deck Tap House and Grill in the Niagara Region was quite positive. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes and has a pleasant atmosphere with a beautiful patio overlooking greenery and a creek. The staff was friendly, efficient, and worked well together, which contributed to a pleasant dining experience. The calamari dish was a standout, with a spicy and fresh flavor. The tangy orange sauce complemented the calamari well, creating a satisfying combination. The two shareable dishes, 20 hot and spicy wings and three fish tacos with a salad inside, were also enjoyable. The wings were well-done and packed with spice, catering to those who appreciate a bit of heat. The fish tacos had a great combination of flavors, and the addition of the salad provided a refreshing element. The restaurant also offers a good selection of beer and wine, providing options for different tastes. This is a great feature for those who enjoy pairing their meals with a suitable beverage. For dessert, I highly recommend trying the deconstructed Oreo cheesecake with whipped cream. The cheesecake was fresh and satisfying, hitting the spot for a sweet ending to the meal. The highlight of the restaurant is the patio, which offers a picturesque view of the surrounding greenery and creek. It provides a pleasant and relaxing setting for enjoying a meal, especially during the warmer months. I had a positive experience at Upper Deck Tap House and Grill. The combination of flavorful dishes, a great patio, and attentive staff made for an enjoyable dining experience. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others and would consider returning myself

    I went for a bite to eat while my son was at the Athletes Farm. I had the Blue Cheese burger. The meal was ok, but I found the bun to be on the small side and blue cheese flavor to be lost in the toppings. Maybe throw on caramelized onions not raw red. Server was friendly and food was timely. I would go back but would order something different.

  • 5/5 Zita B. 4 months ago on Google
    Outside is deceiving, I thought it was more of a pub/ sports bar type place. But it's actually a beautiful restaurant with absolutely delicious food. The French Onion soup and calamari were the best I've had in awhile and the Onion Brie burger was so good, I was stuffed but couldn't help but finish every last bite because it was so delicious.

    The Upper Deck was a great choice for a last minute dinner with friends. We opted for dining inside since the weather wasn't great, but will for sure be back to sit on the patio overlooking the river. We tried out a few different items, from burgers to steak. Personally, I tried the Jalapaño Popper Burger with jalapeño dip on it. This was such a great choice and so full of flavour. I had it with yam fries and couldn't stop eating them. They clearly know how to season in the kitchen! Our hostess was incredibly kind both in demeanour and in serving us. She ensured we had enough food, water, and drinks. She made sure to check in with us and was able to answer any questions about the menu. Can't wait to go back and try out the patio!

  • 5/5 Wylam S. 1 year ago on Google
    We stopped at The Upper Deck Tap House for a few drinks. Very friendly staff, larger seating area inside, with the best outside covered heated patio I have ever seen. I view is second to none. The kitchen staff is professional and proper. A large bar with lots of drink options. The owner is well spoken of by his employees.

  • 5/5 Michael 1 year ago on Google
    Great restaurant for lunch, dinner or just grabbing a drink with friends. Patio has an outstanding view. Had the burger recently, one of if not the best in town. Super friendly staff. I got to speak with the manager, Ryan who I must say is a very pleasant chap. He does an excellent job in making sure all the guests are well taken care of.

  • 4/5 John D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great burger. Very clean with great friendly staff. Price is in line with the quality of the food and great service.

  • 5/5 Gary H. 2 years ago on Google
    This place was nice. Staff were friendly. We were checked on multiple times by several different staff. Felt welcome. Food was great. Beer was cold. Can't really ask for more.

  • 4/5 cinder l. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered take out, this is the spicey burger with blue cheese. It was good, just wish there was more blue cheese on it. Fries were good as well. Definitely a place I would order from again as they have a great menu.

  • 5/5 Heshna K. 2 years ago on Google
    Just loved the food and the server how she helped us. Very caring.

  • 5/5 Alex H. 2 years ago on Google
    We checked this place out this past Sunday with family and from the moment we walked in it was a great experience the manager was kind and funny and sat us immediately the serving staff was knowledgeable and kind the food was fantastic I highly recommend their burgers and the fish and chips are crispy and delicious. The view from the patio is very nice and you feel very safe and washrooms are available. The only suggestion I would have for the staff is to have either a scannable or paper copy of your drink menu as we had to ask the server about each of their drinks and would be much easier to just read them. Other then that we had a great experience and will be returning again.

    Went for dinner with business associates, they booked us a great table for our reservation. Server was very attentive and helpful. Appetizers came out fast and were very tasty, we can coconut shrimp and jalapeno dip with pita for the table. Individual meals also came out quickly and everyone enjoyed. I had the Mediterranean burger an it was a good size, almost too big for the bun. Thanks for being a great choice for us to meet up with out of towners, all enjoyed it.

    Great food. Nice atmosphere and great service

  • 5/5 Denise H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great appetizers - try the calamari and wings! The whole menu is extensive and interesting. I had the salmon and it was excellent. Lots of choices for every taste. Service is friendly, professional and timely. A great tap house. The patio is nice during Covid but it will be great to get back into the restaurant!

  • 3/5 holli m. 2 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed the fish tacos. They didn't have straws which was frustrating. The time limit they give you we thought was rude seeing how there was a group of old men drinking beers the entire time we were there and they were well past the "time limit" they were there before us. So special treatment was definitely in play. Other than that the server was great and the food was delicious.

  • 5/5 Carly G. 2 years ago on Google
    We had an excellent time at the upper deck.. the staff was very attentive and kind and the food was amazing. The calamari was unbelievably tasty and they make an incredible ceasar! Looking forward to visiting this place again

  • 4/5 Felix W. 3 years ago on Google
    They have extended their patio into the parking lot. Our table was not cleaned. It had food crumbs on it. We told our server and was wiped down immediately. We ordered wings with bbq sauce, a reuben sandwich, a steak sandwich and a Santa Fa salad. The wings and the reuben sandwich were delicious. Salad was not bad. The steak in the sandwich was tough. Avoid that. Service was quick.
