You can get closer to the Falls when you descend 175 feet into the Niagara Gorge and experience the power of the Falls from the Hurricane Deck at Cave Of The Winds. they provide you with a poncho along with the ticket. this is one of the best experiences in the world. You won't be disappointed if you ever plan a trip to the Niagara Falls. It is worth a visit just for the sheer thrill of seeing one of the world's best waterfalls that attracts over 30-million visitors from across the globe, every year.

This was a fantastic adventure, and probably our favorite experience at Niagara Falls (out of lots of awesome experiences). We spent two days at Niagara, and this stood out as the most fun we had there! You basically get to walk underneath Bridal Veil Falls, which is the smallest of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls, but is still huge! They give you ponchos, but if you do it right, you'll still get SOAKED. Great fun!

BEST ATTRACTION ON THE AMERICAN FALLS! I come from Canada and we usually hear horrible stuff about the American side of the falls but this attraction changed my mind. You get crazy close and wet to the falls and you can spend as much time as you want there! Only 20 dollars as well! When I went, it was a pretty nice day but close to when they close. It meant that it wasn't that busy and we waited 0 minutes! This was a Sunday as well! They provide rain jackets for you and overall it's a must try experience!

This is the best attraction in Niagara in my opinion. There was a long queue when we visited. But the wait was totally worth it. This is perhaps the closest you can get to the falls. We carried our backpacks here without knowing that we would get drenched by the sprays. Nevertheless, a very refreshing experience.

Our family decided to do Cave of the Winds on a recommendation from staff at the Marriott we were staying at nearby. We're also all afraid of heights, and abandoned plans to do the Maid of the Mist after seeing the glass elevator tower you ride up and the bridge you have to walk across. Once you officially enter, your group piles into a room for a very quick history recap of the Niagara falls. Thankfully, this video is only about 5 minutes long and is entertaining so it will not bore the kids (or adults) with a history lesson. After exiting you walk through a tunnel and to an elevator, which takes you down to the base. This is all truly self-guided, you get whatever you want out of it. It can be as quick as you want it to be. We were in and out in about 20 minutes, took some great photos and videos at Hurricane Deck and got out. So glad we did this instead of the boat ride, I feel like you really got to feel the power and take in the beauty much more this way than viewing from a boat.

Amazing experience and not nearly as busy as I thought it would be. I loved the video they show before hand and the history of the falls. Be prepared to get wet. We came here first because I was worried about the lines, but many smart people went to Maid of the Mist first and brought that poncho since it is a little bit nicer. Must do experience if you are in the area.

Expect to get wet, unless you don't walk far outside the cave... The history lessons (video/signage) inside are really interesting. But the view and Feel of the Falls are worth repeating. If you prepare to get wet, the crashing water and gorgeous views are some of the cleanest and best you can have in nature.

While I still wholeheartedly believe the Canadian side of the Falls offers better views, this is hand-down one of the best experiences at Niagara. It’s amazing value for what you pay. Our experience started in a museum-like room with information on the history of the falls. I loved the interactive parts of it and we were soon let into a theatre where we watched a film summarizing the past, present and future of the falls. The theatre was quite amazing at displaying something I’d find boring in a book interesting through a multi-media display. There were physical frames and effects for things like lightning. The experience at the bottom is definitely what you want, though. It’s unlike anything else I’ve ever experienced and the walkway is well built to ensure you have a thorough tour and sufficient photo-ops. Absolutely must-do!

We absolutely loved it. Summer and spring is probably the most busiest time of year. End of November is chilly and not many people. It was super quick to get in. Go into to y museum type area, then watch a 8 minute movie then take a 175 feet journey to the bottom of gorge and stand by falls. Great pics. Very interesting and breathtaking.

Amazing experience. I loved it so much. The cost is about $19 for adults and about $14 for kids. There was a line but it went quick. You are able to pick a time slot. Once you enter into the building there is a museum on the history of the falls and then you watch a small video about the waterfalls.You then will exit and get a poncho; that is when the real fun begins. There are stairs to go up and down. The further up the waterfall you climb; the more you will get wet. There is a section called hurricane and it is the most wind and water of the whole experience. Some tips are to wear the poncho from the maid of the mist (if you go to that experience first), wear shoes that are able to get wet (no socks), dress lightly, waterproof your cameras and/ or phones and most importantly have fun. *PS you will get soaked*

Extremely fun activity to do with older kids. You will get drenched on this walk, there is no way to avoid it. They have rubber guards down on the floor/steps but can still be slippery so watch your step. A great experience and a must while in Niagara Falls. They are currently open later than the time listed so always check on the official website.

I genuinely cannot describe how amazing my experience here was. The sights are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. There's so many little spots, it's pretty affordable (10-15 dollars for a days parking) as well as a trolley ride around the park for 3 dollars per person. I can't recommend this place enough, it was 100% worth the 4 hour drive. I was never a huge park enthusiast until I went here. I plan to go to other state parks because this kind of beauty genuinely is wonderful. The wildlife is pretty too. There's lots of squirrels, and the critters are friendly. One of them gave me a high five :)

Natures beauty at its best. Must visit place in the world. It's really amazing to see how the state park is maintained considering this is one of the places on earth with a lot of footfall of tourists. The place is so huge and built without disturbing nature's beauty. Considering that the place was a mess with factories years back, the work done to design it in the way it is now is truly inspiring. Adding some tips for visitors to plan the day 1. Day and time - Start early to see the beauty of early morning falls with a bit of fog around. Witnessing the beauty of the sun, removing the fog slowly, and giving clarity to the falls is something to watch. State Park is open 24 hours. On a nice sunny day, you will be able to cover everything in just 1 day 2. Parking - there is a lot of parking. There are three big parking spaces. Two in goat Island, and one in the maid of mist side. Parking rates are different for seasons and weekends. Maximum is $15 3. Attractions I visited in order A. Parked at goat Island parking B. Watched terrapin point C. Cave of winds D. Maid of Mist & observation tower E. Aquarium F. Bus tour to Luna, three sisters islands G. Light show H. Fireworks 4. Cave of winds - must do. Never miss. You will feel the power of the water standing below the US side falls. 5. Maid of mist - must do. Experience of lifetime. Takes you near the horseshoe area in a boat 6. Aquarium - walkable from Maid of mist area. sea lion show is must watch. Only 1 hour needed to finish this 7. Fireworks and lighting - stay till 10 pm to see this. It's worth the wait. Observation tower is the best place to watch 8. Food - a lot of food trucks available right outside the state park serving good food 9. Bus tour - it could get tiring without this because there is a lot to walk around. It was $3 and can be used on any bus inside the park the whole day 10. Rest areas and rest rooms - it's a park neatly maintained and full of trees. So loads of places to rest. Rest rooms are also available and very neatly maintained

Majestic. That's the word for Niagara Falls. Maid of the Mist boat ride is a must do to visualize the massive scale of this waterfall. If you're staying in a hotel nearby and can spend the evening at the park then definitely visit Goat Island and enjoy the light and firework show. They are doing it for 5 mins everyday throughout summer. Some construction going on in the park recently. Once complete, it'd open many other stuffs like rest area, visitor center etc. View from Observation tower is breathtaking. Do take pics keeping the falls as background and the gorge as well. Horseshoe falls and Bridal Veil falls were worth visiting.

I went to Niagara falls in 2020 both winter and summer, This is one of the most amazing experiences in New York. The state park was clean and well maintained, and there are plenty of things to see and do in addition to marvelling at one of the wonders of the world. It sure is a natural wonder that is not to be missed! Nature really is mind blowing specially when you hear the sound of gallons of water going through rapids which such strength every second! We loved it and sure soaked in the beautiful scenery and the views of those gorgeous falls! At night time, there is a light show that goes on from 8pm to 2am. You see lights of different colors reflected into the Horseshoe Falls and these are seen by one of the sections close to the Cave of the Winds. You will love it and sure enjoy the experience! The Observation Tower is on the main area close to the town. If you stay in any If the hotels that are close by, the walk is about 8 to 10 min. Parking at the park is $10 (weekday) or $15 (Friday and weekends) in any of the 4 lots. There is a trolley that you can purchase tickets ($3) to take you from the island to the observation tower. Good option if you don't want to be walking around all day. The Observation Tower costs $1.25 and you can see both the Horseshoe Falls and American Falls. The Maid of the Mist boat trip and the Cave of the Winds are extra and you can do them separately or in a package. We saw people getting soaked, so be prepared to be wet! This is one of the other best experiences I had in the USA. see the beautiful Niagra Falls up close and personal. We were so blessed to be able to get the last boat tour of 2020. We were not aware of their schedules. So we were happy we went there at the nick of time. We stayed there until night time. We had a lot of pictures taken. Niagara Falls was powerfully beautiful. It was mesmerizing.

The park on the USA side is beautiful that they have preserved the area right up to the falls as a park. The Canadian side looks like they have commercialized it that there's no park there just sight seeing tours, views, things to do. Which they also have on the USA side, but the ,USA has a walking trail with wooded areas around the park. We saw several people riding bikes, scooters, etc... to get around. Some brought their pets and was taking photo opts with them. Others had family, children, or friends with them and were doing the same. We spoke to a man that was here visiting from Australia and said they walked across the bridge to see from the Canadian side and paid nothing on the USA side but to return to the USA side they had to pay 1.00 to get back. The fireworks were nice, the lights on the falls at night are nice, and the cooler evening with the mist of the falls on your face was a nice change to the hot days from home. We saw solid black squirrels, and other wildlife, cherry trees and mulberry trees there on the trails, and other natural beauties.

Yes, the American side is feels more nature-y when it comes to the Falls. The parking is more affordable at the state park. The state park was such a beautiful place to walk around. Perfect for a full day with a picnic lunch somewhere in the park. Lots of options! So many different views of the river and rapids from here; it is more than the falls alone. We visited here Day 2 of our trip and found it was the perfect addition to seeing the falls up close.

The park is maintained really well, super clean and during the summer, great grounds keeping. It's worth the trip of going through the park on foot. There are some great trails to explore. The views of the falls give you a unique view and a better up close view than on the Canadian side.

My aunt was visiting from NYC and she wanted to go to the Niagara Falls. We were there on Monday at around 4:30-5 PM. It was a beautiful afternoon and it wasn’t too crowded. We took many pictures and enjoyed the nice walk from the Main Island to Goat Island. They had plenty of restrooms and they were somewhat clean. By the time we were done walking, it was a little past 6 PM. We decided to stop at the gift shop on the way back to the parking lot, but they were closed! They had just closed at 6 PM. It was unfortunate because the window displays had cute items that we wanted to check out. I would visit this park again on a nice day. In the winter they block of the access area to the falls, but you can enjoy the views from afar. It also gets very windy and cold in this area during the winter.

Plan your time so you can see the falls with the lights at night. The next morning we returned to enjoy the attractions. There are multiple overlook areas. Check out the paved hiking trail along the rapids leading to the falls. The water is roaring by it's so powerful and dangerous. If you are taking the trolley for the transportation, it will save time walking. But, if you want to hear the tour.......good luck. The speaker is not audible with everyone talking around you. Park is clean. Plenty rocks or benches to rest and take in the views. Be sure to pay admission to walk out on the deck which gives you a better look at all the falls. Still the Canadian side has the best views but suprised how much we enjoyed this side of the falls too.A huge expanse of natural beauty, this oldest state park in the U.S. offers biking, fishing and cross-country skiing, and contains plenty of hiking and walking trails, including the Niagara Gorge Trail System, which affords great views of both the falls and the gorge

One of my most favorite places to visit in the entire US. It is such a wonder of nature! Pictures and videos don’t do this place justice— one has to experience the sheer beauty and grandeur to truly appreciate it. I prefer the US side a lot more than the Canada side. The US side felt more like a park where they have tried to preserve the nature (trails to walk right up to the falls, places to sit in the park, birds and squirrels running around, etc.). Canada side appears to be a lot more commercialized. There are a lot of tours and activities available. Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds are highly recommended and are very reasonably priced. I would recommend getting a hotel as close to the Falls as possible so you can walk to the park instead of driving. Night views are fantastic and it’s really nice to spend time in the park after sunset. Fireworks were OK, the light show was more interesting.

Amazing waterfall that everyone should visit, but be prepared for crowds. We were there right at 9:00 and it was fine, but by the time we left at 10:00 there were lots of people and parking lots filling up. The park should do more to keep the place cleaner. Quite a bit of litter throughout.

This place is awesome. The views are totally worth the trip no matter how far it may be. I've been trying to come here for years. I'm glad I finally did. The waterfall area is absolutely amazing and peaceful. Photo taking places all over the place. It's definitely a wonder of the world. It's very, very busy and the parking is horrible and very expensive, 25-40 $. As well as the gift shops are expensive. Very very crowded all over the place top to bottom of the falls. Huge tourist attraction with a lot of people traffic and car traffic. Even with all that, it's still one of the best things I've ever seen as a waterfall.

I don't remember the last time I was here but we thoroughly enjoyed our time. The price is average for any attraction you would go like this. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable about questions we asked. There was information posted on each exhibit. They had live shows with the penguins and sea lions. And what I found best about this attraction was the sea creatures/ animals were all rescued for one reason or another and those that are able to be rehabilitated are let back out into their natural habitats.

We are a little biased visiting from Baltimore where the National Aquarium, one of the best in the country, is located. We were a bit underwhelmed by the size of this place. The coolest part for us were the seals and seeing them play. I wish we could have seen more about their rescue and rehabilitation. We missed the seal show but I would plan to catch that if you're coming. There are some interactive areas for the kids - fact finders and the petting portion of the sting ray and small shark cove. We didn't see any other sharks. The aquarium you can climb into was also a favorite part. If you're visiting, I would plan to spend 1.5-2 hours max.

The aquarium is good but small even though it's two levels. We expected more exhibits although the ones they had were really good especially the jellyfish. The seal show was excellent and made up for it a little bit. Good service when we had to cancel one ticket. Also we could do with a little less preaching about the environment at every single exhibit. Tell us more about the animals.

A must-see if you're in the area. They've got seal shows going on during the day, along with little tours, super cute! The exhibits are all super interesting, and this is super kid friendly. There's also a photobooth if you'd like to keep a memory of your day, along with a gift shop that has loads of trinkets.

We saw the sea lion show while we were here and it was amazing! The shows alone make it worth coming! The aquarium itself is on the smaller side, but they definitely make up for it with the shows they offer.

No major complaints other than you can't reenter? With 2 small ones it would have been cool if we could have come back for some of the demonstrations. However, it was clean and a part of the greater work that humans do with animals (conservation and preservation)! Very informative and interactive. The hurricane wind is fun, and the vending machine is cheap enough. We had fun!

The place inside not much to see, Waisting money & small places. 30 minutes u can see whole area, this is good for school trip kids. My kids only enjoy to touch some fish.

I'm from Florida and used to massive fancy aquariums... But this place seems to value quality over quantity for their fish and animals. Each exhibit was beautifully designed with perfect lighting for taking pictures! It's a great place to visit!

Family had a great time. All staff was super nice. There was no real wait to board the boat. The ride over was smooth. Lots of opportunities to get wet. Well worth the money. Glad we got to experience it. There are also a few seats if you want to sit for a bit.

Free with maid of the mist tickets. Great view of the falls. I think it opens up to the public after Maid of the Mist stops doing tours so that you can see the falls lights and fire works.

Went there in February. It was snow everywhere. It was really nice to see the view from up there, but offcourse its not as awesome as the Canadian side. It is mostly very crowded but in Feb it was quiet and we could enjoy the views however it was too cold to stay there for a long time. It's on a height, so it gives you a good perspective. If you are there to sprcially visit Niagra Falls, then don't miss it.

Great place to view the Falls. It's definitely worth it. It's usually very windy so watch your hats and be careful of your phone as you take your pictures! I highly recommend this location

The Canadian side offers way better Falls views than the American. If you cannot cross over to Canada for any reason, the Observation deck has the best views from the American side of both, American and Canadian Falls. At time of our visit in late April access was free, but I think they charge it starting from May.

It was a great experience going here, it was a 6.5 hour drive to Buffalo to sleep over at the Edward and then we went to the falls the following day, it's free to enter and they have restaurants and Cafe and ice cream shops on site, you cab pay 1.25 to go onto the observation deck or 28 to ride the boat to the falls itself, we walked the whole area and it was amazing, then we hitched a ride on the tour bus back, if you want to do the whole thing on the state park trolley it's 3 for adults and 2 for kids, there is also a gift shop on site and bathrooms

Watching the American Falls and Horse Shoe Falls from top of the Observation Tower is beyond words. Excellent Experience. I was able to see the view in Falls and during Winter and both times it was mesmerizing. The fireworks is great and my daughter loved it so much. The place is well maintained. Definitely a must visit place for anyone who loves nature.

What a beautiful and natural place to be in with the one you love the most! We were in US side of the fall and it looked amazing and then we passed the border and we had a look from the Canadian side as well. Both looks good and have some great views and attractions

If you visit the falls you will definitely make your way here at some point. If you pay for the Maid of the Mist, there is no need to pay the $1.25 ticket to get onto the observation tower. But if you aren’t riding the Maid the same day, it’s definitely worth the small fee to get on because of the unobstructed view of the falls. It should be totally free to get on once the park closes, though.

Walked to Luna Island from the hotel one sunrise morning. Solitary view at that time. Awesome water movement and endless water line hallucination. The sound of the rushing water alone is soothing...now add seeing that water rush to the channeled edge and disappear is mesmerizing.

If for some reason you can’t visit the Canadian side, this was the best vantage point to watch the light show at night. Absolutely beautiful.

beautiful state park - we went here on our babymoon/anniversary

Great waterfall. Lovely atmosphere

If Bridal Veil Falls were situated anywhere else in the country, it would be worth a trip by itself. Unfortunately it's overshadowed by its big brother, the Niagara Falls.

The Bridal veil falls is the smallest of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls.it is located on the American side.must visit.it was an Amazing experience.

We saw the sign as we drove up to the Hilton at Niagara Falls and began to anticipate supper. We had kids in our party, but we had a table quickly. Our host changed and explained how things would happen. Basically when the coaster in front of your plate is turned to green, men dressed as gauchos will bring grilled meet to you until you turned it to the red side. First you hit the amazing salad bar which has so much more than salad. There are soup and many sides to choose from. We were all very satisfied. Even the little guys enjoyed the live music. It isn't cheap by any standard, but it is quality and the servers are ever so polite. I highly recommend this experience.

A bit fast paced with meats constantly coming to the table but our kids (all under 12) loved it. Even our picky eater was able to find plenty between the buffet style and the meats cut at the table. The prime sirloin was well spiced and a table favorite as well as the grilled pineapple. The pineapple was probably our absolute favorite as it's grilled with cinnamon and thin cut. Fantastic. Cocktail selection is decent as well (had a Bourbon Berry Bramble that I'd recommend if you enjoy whiskey). Though still expensive, this is probably the best value restaurant at the Hilton. I'd recommend going early if with kids for the best experience and later if just with adults in order to enjoy the live entertainment.

Amazing restaurant for meat lovers. Good selection of meats. Good all you can eat buffet selection. Meats coming out often and you can ask them to make it way you like. Grilled pineapple was best I've ever tried. Great times. Will come back again!!! Cheers

Amazing!!!!! What a great night out with the family. We celebrated our 24yr wedding anniversary. Great food, great atmosphere. Loved the live band. Thank you Linda for all you did for us to make this night special. Great service from your team of Gauchos. Christine R took great care of us. Made our experience wonderful!!! The Creme Brule cheesecake hit the spot.

BEST PLACE TO EAT I had to delete my positive feedback to write an even better one I had an special moment last Saturday and it was amazing, Ryan the server was extremely good in what he does. The meat once again was the best of the best, and we our deserts for free. First time ever I ask for a cup of milk with my desert and I got it!!! Very impressed. Everything is 10 /10 I asked to eliminate the local fee as I am Not tourist and it was not a problem Totally coming back a few times more before the year is done

Brasa is a bit pricey in my opinion. It is located at the ground floor of Hilton Hotel. I didn't enjoy their choice cuts of grilled meats, I had a tough time chewing it, not as tender as I would have liked it, we were also rushed because they were taking out the grilled meats so fast that we felt full so fast. The best in my opinion was the grilled pineapple. At the end of the service, prepare to be shock because the final price will include the 15% tip, HST and another added tax on top of it. If you ask me if I would go back again, I'll say no, once is enough, it's just for the experience.

Brazilian all-you-can-eat ultimate choice! A full dining experience! We came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and we had such a great time. The food was amazing, dancers were very interactive, staff were attentive.

Excellent ambien with live music. It was pretty busy even on a week night. Consider the price for dinner, I was hoping they have rack of lamb and grilled shrimps, similar to other Brazilian steak places we have visited. The steaks and the leg of lamb were tasty. The salad bar and side dishes have wide varieties and fresh. The server was friendly and attentive. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and the music.

The lamb and three of the steak choices were very good! The salad bar, if you notice has large diameter bowls of useless things like olives, pickles that were Old and hardly anyone touches! The horrible taste like cardboard, prepared salads! Taboulie, "Brazilian rice" and dry collard greens were an Insult!!!!! The smoked salmon, seafood salad and seafood ciopino was just okay. Fortunately, they had a great variety of vinegars that I tried to resuscitate that disaster!!! $70 for this is an insult. The atmosphere and the band is enjoyable! The meats are Not wood fire grills anymore, only cooked on gas!!!

Food and staff are excellent. Very pricey and weren't told of prices till we sat down. But the chef was very accommodating to my husband's allergies. Definitely recommend for a special occasion dinner.

WOW!!! I wish there were more stars. I went in with my wife and daughter. The atmosphere was amazing. The staff were super nice. I drove two hours to go there and the food DID NOT disappoint. I highly recommend their original steak burger. Mine was cooked perfect, sitting next to amazing, fresh fries. The beer was cold and refreshing. My wife enjoyed her never ending supply of coca cola, which our waitress never let get below half. Their homemade BBQ sauce is probably the best out there. There wasn't anything out of place AND they have staff dedicated to keeping the whole place clean and safe! THANK YOU for the best experience!!! We will be back!!!

The food is amazing, typical american food with loud music, but you can still talk good enough with friends and family! Service was friendly and always filled our drinks up as soon as they were empty. Its just a tourist spot and the prices are maybe for some people too much. But as a whole definitely worth it to got there!

We had a great experience. The service couldn’t have been better. The waitress was extremely attentive and went above and beyond. The food was good and the atmosphere was enjoyable. We also could see the fireworks over the falls from a bench outside.

Best ribs in a while! Served with chips and beans. All delicious. Service at the bar is really friendly and good. Delicious cocktails also. Great place to grab some lunch after exploring the falls. End your meal with a visit to their shop also.

I am collecting memories of every city I go to. I make sure I will visit a Hard Rock Cafe if there is one. The Niagara cafe is extra special as it was established the same year I was born. Our server is superb and friendly. Reservation is needed. Took us an hour to wait for our table but it's worth it and expected. I always love their food - burgers and desserts and drinks.

The food was delicious but cold. Poor waitress was running around crazy due to how busy it was! But she was still amazing. The cook staff was fairly new and messed up our orders but we didn't care 🤣 we were too hungry. Will Def be back if time allows.

Not a good branch of Hard Rock Coffee. We stopped for brunch, we ordered two salades,they were dry, and the proportion between the vegetables and the dominated sauce was really unclear. In conclusion we did not enjoy the meal.

Yesterday night (Sat, Jan 22nd 2022) I visited Hard Rock Cafe, Niagara Falls, NY. The food was great and the server very kind. I had the Hurricane drink that comes with the glass. Once finished, when I was in the store I wanted the regular glass. However, the manager said that the glass I wanted was not included, but the 50 years version. Then I decided to take both, so I bought the regular one plus the special edition that came with the drink. The point is that the manager was very disrespectful in her manners. I felt like she was watching us while shopping and mad because I wanted the regular glass. Her face was a hate face once me and my friend started speaking Spanish between us. I always spoke in English to her and the cashier. We felt discriminated, which is ridiculous because this is a touristic place. I love Hard Rock Cafe but they should consider to hire kinder managers who treat everybody the same way. It was our first time in Niagara Falls, but our last time in Hard Rock Cafe NF, NY.

My hubby, bestie and I went to the hardrock while in niagara. The whole town and area was super busy that day due to a festival happening but they got us right in, sat us in the VIP lounge and the waitress was awesome! She immediately brought us like 5 glasses of water (we must have looked thirty haha) and got our appetizer order of the flat bread pizza which was delicious! We each got a different type of burger and loved every one of them. The service was friendly, fast and the atmosphere just awesome. We loved it there and would recommend it to anyone in the area. And the prices are pretty good compared to alot of eateries in the area.

It was open! We watched the fireworks at the Falls and made it to the Hard Rock at about 10:15. It was opened and despite closing at 10:30, we were greeted and served with a smile. The service was prompt and the food came out fast… and it was so good! My daughter loved her hot dog kids meal. My son enjoyed the Diablo burger, but said it wasn’t very “Diablo”. My wife got the flatbread appetizer as her main course, and it was good, but not extremely flavorful. I got the mac and cheese with chicken, which was hearty and extremely flavorful. It was so good! We even did the touristy thing and bought some Hard Rock swag. The lady running that section of the facility was incredibly helpful and helped us get what we needed.

My first hard rock cafe. Was a little skeptical at first but very impressed. Even the water they served tasted it was from the spring. The spicy shrimp appetizer was amazing. Hurricane and the Black Berry Sangria was perfect. Had the smashed Country Burger. It's was great, not the best burgers I have had but was very good 😊

Today was my first time as a customer. Four of us went and enjoyed a great meal with no complaints. The desserts were very good too. The staff was excellent. Our waitress Angela M. Was the most personable who just wanted to make sure her customers were happy and had everything they needed. She went well above and beyond highly appreciated as if things went a little longer in the kitchen She would let us know. This weekend was leading up to the 4th of July on Tuesday so they were busy. Overall it was a great experience. Will be back again.

This place was a 10! We were so happy to find a restaurant that was open a little later than the rest - we were so hungry! Our waiter Keenan was friendly and helpful! We ordered a burger, ribs and the appetizer platter! All were delicious! Everyone was so kind to let us finish up dinner even though it was closing time. Thanks so much for being a happy memory from our trip to Niagara!

This place is fun, and very themed. While the hostess seemed a little cold, our waitress was wonderful. The manager had to come to our table for a coupon, and she was wonderful as well. While the food was a little more expensive then I normally would like, it was worth it all the way around.

We ordered Ribs Steak Shrimp Trio to share between and it was really good. The steak was cooked perfectly at medium rare. The ribs were almost fall off the bone tender and the coconut shrimps were alright. Saw a lot of reviews about poor service, they were not completely wrong. The waiter checked on us 3 times which was a fair amount of visits. However when we needed someone to bring us extra plates or the check, we had a hard time getting a waiter. Overall a very fun place to dine at.

Finally, I found the best foods and services around NY. Rainforest Cafe at Niagara Fall is the BEST. * The staff in any direction are awesome with a good attitude and friendly with a smile on their face. The waiter will stop by to check if everything is good every time they passed our table. * The meals are fabulous and very tasty. * I really recommend that all Niagara Fall visitors should eat here vs. Hard Rock Cafe and especially the Cam Building that's by Niagara Fall, Maid if the Mist. Rainforest Cafe is about 10 minutes walk from Maid of the Mist.

This was a great experience for us. Like nothing we have around us so it was nice. It was a little pricey but you are definitely paying for the experience here. The staff was very friendly and good was good.

5/5 atmosphere (let’s be honest that’s why people go here above all else right?) 5/5 service. 3/5 quality of food. Not great. High prices but typical for tourist area. Would go again with kids for the atmosphere. Wouldn’t go just for the food though. 4 stars.

An amazing atmosphere eating in the jungle. The only problem with this location is the open doors which let in too much light and take away from feeling transported to the jungle, like the other locations I have eaten at do. The overpriced food is not worth the money either. My three kids had a $15 cheeseburger kids meal and the wife and I split a veggie wrap. Almost $100 for three kid meals, one adult meal, no drinks or anything extra! I can spend money on a good meal, but this was not money well spent. If you want to enjoy the view, plan to split an appetizer and eat a meal elsewhere.

There are larger Rain forest cafe's. This one was alright, though. $30 for parking. The new menu the waitress didn't know. A few things were forgotten on one plate. Burger was good. Coconut shrimp was just ok. Chicken sandy was also good. 45 minutes wait at 3 pm on a sat. Don't go to the arcade next door. 5 bucks a game for the one and only game we played. Utilize the free games out back, pong, bags, and checkers. I give it a 3.5 stars overall

Expensive, but what isn't anymore? I got the steak, shrimp and ribs. It was great. Steak was perfect and melted in your mouth. Shrimp were very flavorful and the ribs fell off the bone. The onion rings and beer didn't disappoint either. All fantastic! Worth the trip! Great atmosphere.

The appetizer platter is really good. The fries are amazing. The onion rings and chicken tenders are spot on. The pizza logs were good, but could have been fried about 30 seconds more. The duck wings are excellent, although maybe spicier than one would expect. My wife ordered the PB&J burger, and she was left quite disappointed by it. The beef of the burger itself had no flavor to it. I ordered the Boar burger. I quite enjoyed it, although the meat itself tasted rather bland to me. It was the first time that I've ever had boar, so I'm not sure if the meat is supposed to taste that way, or if it was under-seasoned. The house root beer is a must try. We had the funfetti cake and raspberry cheesecake for dessert. Both were very yummy.

Very clean and cozy spot. Our waitress was the best - she was genuinely nice. Our food... Compliments to the cook for his presentation in plating our food. It was sooooooo good! Thank you for such memorable hospitality in your beautiful city.

Found the place through Google search, parking is a bit challenging, the atmosphere was excellent, it had that Pub vibe, the food was excellent and the waitress Kelsey was attentive, made sure we had what we needed and wanted, we were looking for something different and away from Niagara Falls prices, this place is all that, only 10 minutes away, different types of burger meats, kangaroo elk venison etc, very good, a Poutine that's very close to the original, wings cooked perfectly, and tater tots that are crispy on the outside and mushy on the inside. Everything we ordered was excellent. Highly recommend if u are coming to visit Niagara and or in the Buffalo area.

I don’t usually write reviews but I just HAD to write one for our amazing experience! We made reservations for dinner a week in advance. When we arrived, we were told that our table was not ready but would hopefully be ready soon. We sat patiently and after 10-15 min we were offered a complimentary round of beverages for the wait. We received them (delicious!) and shortly after that we were seated. I’m in the restaurant industry so that customer service right there was on point! I’m the type of person that has a lot of patience anyways, but the fact that we were offered a beverage due to our wait made our day! My husband and I thought right away, sweet! The night is starting off great! Little did we know it would get much better! We had an amazing server, Angelina. She was fantastic! She knew the menu and offered great choices for us on what to try. She is the type of server all restaurants need. Down to earth, knowledgeable, and attentive! The flavor of everything we tried even down to the French fries was on point! Incredible! Honestly! We loved everything. Thank you all for a fabulous evening. I will definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area. We will also love to come back one day! Bravo to everyone! The host, server, bartender, and kitchen staff!

Food was incredible! We were seated immediately and our server, Lauren, was so sweet. The fried grilled cheese bites were heavenly!! My husband had the shrimp po boy and I got the black and blue steak salad. Most delicious food we've had in the area. Will be back before we return home!! Props to the staff and chef!!

We had our lunch here while we visited Niagara Falls. Shell and Cheese - We ordered this dish for the kids and they loved it. It was cheesy and had perfect seasoning. Quantity was huge. (4/5) Bacon Jam Burger - One of the rare places where they ask our meat cooking preference (Rare, medium rare, medium and well done) for a burger. The patty is prepared fresh with different type of meat cuts. I ordered for a medium and it was cooked just like the way I ordered. The burger came with fried egg, arugula and fried onions, the taste was amazing. Even the buns were soft and perfect, not too soft or too hard (5/5) Vietnamese Pulled Pork Sandwich - The star of the show. The sandwich was rich in flavour of banh mi and juices flowing out with each bite. Not like a regular bbq pulled pork sandwich but we dig it. (5/5) Service was really good. Very prompt and friendly. Surprisingly the food was ready in 15 minutes. (5/5) Will visit again when I come to Niagara!

Had a fish fry. The fish wasn't all the way cooked. The exterior was too hard to bite. They need someone that knows how to cook. I took my guy out for dinner and was embarrassed. We were also plagued with multiple trips to the bathroom when we got home. Bad experience. Nice restaurant, great customer service.

My very rarely give five stars all around for any restaurant, but this one certainly deserves it. It's not the fanciest restaurant ever but it's a gastropub. Plenty of great beers and amazing food to go alongside it. Was blown away at the variety of the menu, but even more impressed by the absolute amazing quality of the food when it arrived. Service was insanely fast and the prices were very average considering the quality of the food! 10 out of 10, will absolutely come back again if I am ever in this part of the country again!

I stopped in here literally because they call their selves a gastro pub. True to the name, I ended up getting a kangaroo burger. It was delicious. It’s a nice distance outside the tourist trap of Niagara Falls. Would recommend to anyone in the area for a visit to stop here for lunch.

The food was delicious! We got chicken wings (boneless and regular), chicken tenders, waffles & chicken, and a shrimp basket . Everything was super and our waitress, Ashley, was very friendly, attentive and awesome! We loved the place!! ❤️❤️

Really fantastic menu! I ate here twice with a coworker, and everything we got was good. I loved the marinated asparagus especially.

Great Food!!! I had the fried grilled cheese, Mexican street corn dip and a side salad. The side salad was HUGE and the grilled cheese was great. Definitely pricey, about $45 with out my drink included. They also had tasty THC/CBD drinks!

WOW! How have we not known about this place?! It’s awesome! Server Kelsey provided exceptional service and the food was outstanding. Seriously delicious. Our vegan companion loved her Impossible “cheese” burger and fries. The steak sandwich with sweet potato fries was perfection and the fried egg burger was ridiculously delicious. Cocktails excellent. Birthday girl was treated to vegan donut holes that were out of this world. Portions were huge. We are going to return to try the homemade chicken tenders and wonton nachos because they looked sooo good! This is a must-do if you’re in the Niagara Falls area and is less than 10 minutes from the border!

I had rigatoni vodka and my friend had the lasagna. From the moment we got there it was a great experience. We were late getting there and were seated and treated nicely. Greg, our server, was so kind and polite. The chef came out and chatted after closing (we were welcome to stay as long as we needed to, despite the closing time). The food was authentic, simple and exactly what you want at an Italian restaurant. Strongly recommend. I will be back the next time I’m in town for sure!

Small, quaint Italian restaurant serving big Italian dishes. The dining area has eight tables. We waited about thirty minutes, but it was well worth the wait. If you love a great pasta dish or pizza, don’t skip this place on size alone. They could win hands down against the biggest!

It's probably one of the smallest restaurants I've ever been in, but it gave one of the biggest flavors! Although, a little over priced for me, a broke college student, it was a tiny spot in a small hotel, didn't expect the prices. In terms of flavor, they delivered and delivered well. I was quite impressed. I overheard the cook saying they will soon add more to the menu as they recover from the pandemic. Best of luck guys! (Pictured is the eggplant parm.)

Really good Italian food. Very small restaurant but very cozy. We got rice balls to start with, lasagna, Chicken Parmesan and two side pastas with vodka sauce. Dinner came with the choice of soup or salad. Everything was really good!

I had the chicken parm, and my girlfriend had the lasagna. Both tasted like dorm food - hardly any spices and the insides were COLD. I don't mean it cooled off. I mean ice cold while the outside was hot. Even the side salad was just lettuce and a cherry tomato. The eating area was a bit small, but there was only 2 of us. The best things about this experience was the music selection was on point and they refunded the cost of the lasagna.

Delicious Italian food, nice atmosphere, very friendly service. But very limited seating. Call and make reservations.

This restaurant is a hidden gem of Niagara Falls. If you love fresh, home cooked, authentic, Italian food, you’ve came to the right place. I’ve been a loyal, return guest of this restaurant for over 10 years. They’ve switched names of the restaurant, but the chef, Angelo, remains the same. He’s the best of the best, and Greg, the head server, delivers great hospitality, customer service, recommendations, and professionalism. I ordered Chicken Parmesan, meatballs, and stuffed banana peppers… (and canoli’s for dessert) and they were all top notch. I can’t say enough great things about this restaurant. If you’re deciding on a place to eat, look no further. GO! You will NOT be disappointed…

We had a lovely, relaxing time, with a delightful dinner! There was excellent service, even though they were busy. We had a pepperoni pizza and a margherita pizza. There was a lot of cheese and the tomatoes sauce tasted like it was made with real, fresh tomatoes. To top it off we had a complimentary salad and then cannoli's for dessert! We would definitely recommend La Cucina Di Mamma to anyone. We wish they would expand to Denver!!!

A decent Italian restaurant with a basic menu. The restaurant is small with 8 tables. They serve beer and wine. Our waitress was very nice and handled all the tables and is responsible for changing the record on the record player. Rarely see that anymore - a record player! At the end of our meal, she gave us 2 mini cannolis which were very good. They accept credit cards. A good place for a meal while visiting the falls.
