    Waiting to pay for cover was atrocious. Younger crowd was pushing their way inside not respecting anyone before them. Beer, cold. Not many options (blue, blue lite, bud, bud lite...) The band was actually really good. Bedtime part of the night. Busy but not overly packed. Crowd was all ages... but in my late 30s I felt old.

    A big thanks to Bobby head of security. Come right from the casino had a good night. Lost my wallet at the bar didn't realize until I got home. Called the bar and let them know and Bobby call a hour later with wallet and money. Thanks again Bobby see you soon.

    The food, the staff, the atmosphere at Big Texas was fantastic. They made sure that they took care of our party's entire needs from start to finish. The group got a real kick out of the Mechanical Bull. Plenty of seating and space to move around with many large screen TV's to view your favorite sports team. Very large space to host group parties with plenty of food and beverage selections to choose from. A must have there is their pizza and wings. All of the above made for a very enjoyable and memorable night

    Please provide a Johnny on the spot on weekends for patrons waiting in line. My tenants and myself are tired of dealing with the rude customers that come over and feel they are entitled to pee where they want when they want to and smelling up our property. Thank you

    A group of 14 of us visited Big Texas Niagara this past Saturday for a Bachelorette Party dinner. We had made a reservation for 7pm. Upon arrival the staff seemed confused why we were all there and had zero tables set up for us. They initially sat 14 of us in a booth made for maybe 8 people where there was definitely not enough room for us to all order food and drinks. They finally put together some real tables for us but grumbled about it the whole time. Overall the service was horrible and slow and the food was overpriced and mediocre in taste. We did not feel accommodated at all and our poor bride was not even acknowledged. As the night progressed and the bar filled up the atmosphere improved but only due to the band [Griffin Brothers] that played that night. I would NOT recommend this establishment for a group party or dinner. At a minimum it is a decent bar/night club.

    This bar was packed and a lot of fun. The bar ladies were on fire serving and the live band was awesome! It was a wide range of ages here but the atmosphere was fun and I haven't watched mechanical bull riding in many years so that was hilarious.

    We visited with a large group from my son's team and had a fantastic experience! The services was excellent! Lots of room to arrange the seating for our group. Clean and fun atmosphere for both parents and children. The chicken fingers and pasta were a hit! Thanks Big Texas, we will be back!

    Came for a visit, most of the staff was awesome! Except one chick with a terrible attitude... but fun place, friendly people, and the girl running karaoke was very sweet and a fantastic singer! Will be back next time we're in the area.

    Took my girlfriend here for supper the other night as I had been to Big Texas before, and it didn't disappoint! Friendly staff, good food, and the prices are pretty amazing!

  • 4/5 JC L. 3 months ago on Google New
    Friendly staff and pretty quick kitchen. Food is pretty good at a decent price. Free WiFi. Karaoke nights. Live music on certain nights. Try your luck on the mechanical bull. Washrooms are clean. The facility is clean. The bar doubles as a night club on weekends. Good times and chill vibes. The floor is uneven.

    Excellent service & SUCH a fun time learning to line dance! Karyoke was a blast & the service was quick. My friends & I had a great time & we would highly recommend for a fun night out 🤠

  • 5/5 Kevin A. 11 months ago on Google
    This place is awesome, nicely setup with 2 bar areas, good outdoor patio. Got so packed could barely move inside but had a great time.

  • 5/5 MoJo M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place, got CRAZY with the the bull riding. I myself recommend the karaoke on the Thursday's if you like shoulder room. But you really have to fix your chairs, a little rickety.

  • 4/5 Mika V. 11 months ago on Google
    Generally more of a younger crowd now, if you go when its busy be ready to push your way through the crowd at some points to get around. The musics way too loud in my opinion because you have to scream for the person next to you to hear you. You can pay $10 for unlimited bull rides for the night

  • 5/5 Jon T. 8 months ago on Google
    Visited here this weekend. Were 35-40ish and the country bar attracted us. Felt out of place a bit young crowd. Live band though great atmosphere. Biggest thing I noticed was the security detail was on top of it. For a place that could turn rowdy easily that team had it 100% under control. Kudos to that team plus bar service was also 💯

  • 3/5 Brandy lynn J. 8 months ago on Google
    First time customer. Went 2 see my boyfriends band playing. Wasn't too happy with the service or the food for the amount of $ charged. Not an attraction or a place I would recommend

  • 3/5 Ren V. 2 years ago on Google
    Great bar with live music. Luv the country decor all around. It has a large female bathroom which was cleanly. I ordered the chicken wings and some beers and had a great time.

  • 5/5 Siddhartha 1 year ago on Google
    Good vibes. Live music. The sound system could use a better setup, was jarring on the ears.

  • 4/5 Doug B. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for the band...Drinks reasonably priced. Good music. Younger crowd mostly but a few older people like myself.

  • 5/5 Keith E. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place. Small dance floor; but great music and a great band. If you want a country bar in Niagara this isbthe place.

    I came here recently for a bachelorette party. There were some hiccups. The first being our reservation was set for a time when apparently no one goes to the bar. The next being that the table was set up for 8 seats when the party was 12 and we had reserved. The food menu was different from the online images and the whole bill was meant to be paid under one person which we did not know beforehand. However, the bar staff were as accommodating as they could be and managed to split the bills for us. They sat us all where we were reserved with enough room and even politely managed when some of our group sent back an order of food. There was a live band that evening and a lot of people were in attendance later into the night. Apparently a lot of people have their bachelorette parties in this bar! The ambience was great and the people in attendance were very friendly for the most part. I do recommend relocating the pool table because it appears some regular players were distraught with our reserved table placement. Overall I would go here again as a bar attendee only and enjoy the dancing and atmosphere of the place. That is, if I liked country music or went back with the bride anyway.

    I came here with a group of 6 friends on a Saturday night in August. Upon entering, it was like walking into a sauna... Extremely hot, smelly and moist. My girl friends and I went to use the washroom and there was a huge lineup because 3 of the 4 stalls weren't operational. One had a bloody mess that looked like a murder scene, one toilet was full to the brim with all kinds of bodily fluids, and the other one wouldn't flush properly. The floor and counter tops were also a mess and there was water everywhere. It was THE most disgusting washroom I've ever been in... I will never come back to this bar. So gross. I get that it's a busy bar and drunk people are messy, but an employee should have addressed the situation because it was absolutely disgusting.

  • 3/5 sheen d. 1 year ago on Google
    The band was good, atmosphere was good. Nachos looked like a 12 year old me made them, burnt and no cheese on half the chips. Actually, thats an insult to 12 year old me. Beer pitcher had a dead fruit fly smooshed on the edge of where you pour from, the wife's rum and coke taste like either their soda machine was a. Dirty b. Not mixing syrup properly or possibly c. They poured the wrong liquor.

  • 2/5 Jewelia G. 1 year ago on Google
    The black haired bartender with tattoos was rude as hell right from the beginning. She followed me to the bathroom, had a bad attitude all night and didn’t give correct change, she shorted me $6 and put it in her tips without my knowledge. She put a dampening on the whole evening and should not be working in customer service.

  • 5/5 Olivia N. 2 years ago on Google
    Came here with a group for my bday and had theeee best time! Great band, decent prices and the bar staff are definitely pros! Quick service…surprising considering how insanely busy it was. We had Jenn and she remembered our drinks….every single time!! Even the security (can’t remember his name) was super nice. We will absolutely be back! Thank you Big Texas for a great birthday!!!

  • 5/5 Jim H. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here with a bachelor party and had a great time. Live band was excellent, wait times were reasonable given how busy the place was. Staff were friendly and efficient and prices were reasonable in comparison to a club. Didn't have any food so can't comment on that.

  • 1/5 Darkside F. 2 years ago on Google
    The nachos is absolutely horrible. Basically you get a dish of dry nacho chips. It was so bad that I didn't eat it. I decided to take the chips home so I can add toppings to it in an attempt to salvage the money I spent. DON'T DO IT!

  • 1/5 Jenny W. 2 years ago on Google
    First of all, the staff is truly rude as hell and I do not say that ever. I do not expect to be treated wonderfully at a dive bar but somehow they managed to find the rudest, least friendly humans ever as staff.

  • 5/5 Gie L. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good deal with Groupon. Delicious meals and nice waitress. She came to our table frequently to check if everything was okay. Prices are reasonable.

  • 1/5 Mandy P. 2 years ago on Google
    Terrible experience! We had a group of about 12 people show up around 7pm, with reservations. Nobody else was in the restaurant at all. We waited for over an hour and a half for nachos, which we decided to never get after waiting for so long. We paid for our drinks and cancelled our food order and left. Our friends that did actually get served the nachos said there was no cheese on the bottom layers. This place is definitely not a place to go to for food.

  • 3/5 Steve F. 2 years ago on Google
    Very friendly staff and a nice atmosphere! Electric bull and dance floor as well. Although I don't really care, I do find it odd they didn't ask for proof of vaccination and no one in the entire place was wearing a mask including the staff

  • 5/5 Shaunna D. 2 years ago on Google
    Never a dull moment here!! Live bands that are fantastic! Great bar staff! Awesome security guys! Could use some upgraded AC.. it's always hot as hell in there but always a damn good time!!

  • 5/5 Lorne T. 2 years ago on Google
    Went to see YellowByrd perform and loved the whole evening. Lots of dancing and great music.
