1 Views of Niagara Falls

2 Canadian BBQ

All the excitement of seeing the geological phenomenon that is Niagara Falls is sure to stir up Dad’s appetite! Our Riverside Patio is the perfect place to plan a lunch or dinner before your boat experience. Serving BBQ staples like pulled pork sandwiches, cheeseburgers, and sweet treats like funnel cake fries, there is something on our menu every dad will love.

 

3 Niagara Craft Beer

The perfect pairing to go with Dad’s BBQ is an ice-cold pint of our local Niagara Falls craft brew. With the brewery located just up the hill, it doesn’t get more local than the Niagara Brewing Company! Supporting local will make Dad feel good, and he’ll love his Amber Eh beer almost as much as he loves his favourite child. (We’ll just assume that’s you.)
