My husband and I attended an event here 6 weeks ago and tried the pizza they served. I was surprised how delish considering I lived locally my whole life and naver heard how good. We ordered again 2 days ago and the pizza is dynamite. If you enjoy a thicker pizza with perfect amount of toppings and an exceptional parmesean crust you must try this pizza. And side note we had the cherry peppers stuffed and not sure what they stuff with but not just your average stuffed pepper.

I might’ve put things in the wrong place because I was so happy food is very good. Lots of it taste great pizzas look great 11. I give it 11 stars. I would family restaurant so if you’re in Farnhill on 20 Road please stop it. You would be very happy and say hi to the servers for me. They’re awesome too.

Reviews were real. I decide to review for myself. I just tried this place now. Management you must read your reviews. Not saying this to be mean, I’m for real. You need better service,fresh food…. Not wilted Cesar salad and my burger bun looks to me to be freezer burnt. My husband ate out of hunger . I will not be recommending this place to anyone. Needs way too much work with staff, food and service, atmosphere. Time to Master up.

I recently visited The Trap on a busy Friday night. I ordered the garlic parmesan wings and medium wings. While the food took quite a long time to come out, it was understandable given how busy the night was. The wings were decent, though not exceptional. Overall, it was an okay experience.

We tried the Trap today after hearing good things and seeing some tempting pictures. Firstly we were unable to order over the phone as they apparently took the phones off the hook. So we went in to order and were willing to wait around. The fries looked great, but tasted dense and cold when we got them, almost as if they were sitting under a heat lamp for a while. The onion rings were great. The pizza, we had high hopes for but we were quickly let down. The small kids pizza were tasteless and way too under cooked. The large pizza wasn’t much better, the crust was dense and thick, very heavy and not very flavourful. The toppings were a good amount, but similar to the small pizza, very undercooked. The sauce was ok and seasoned pretty good. Overall, especially after the wait, very disappointing experience.

Fish fry was a little greasy but good otherwise. Found a couple sharp bones. French fries were great. Had the 40 Creek burger today. It was delicious. Tangy BBQ sauce with a couple onion rings and cheddar cheese. Burger was cooked perfectly.

Haven't been for a while. Several of us got fish & chips. Those who got a one piece had pretty small pieces, luckily I ordered 2 pieces so I would have leftovers, one of my pieces was a good size, one was small. All tasted good, thanks.

These nice folks brought in extra staff for my brothers celebration of life. 140 plus people…. No one waited for anything, Holly Nicole and Natasha were amazing. The fish is also dynamite as I have returned since, and so have some of my attendees have returned for the pizza and wings…. There is daily specials and the draught is always fresh and cold…. Thank you especially Nicole…..

For a good hearty meal, The Trap restaurant/bar in Fonthill, 20 minutes from Niagara. Possibility of watching matches. Discovery thanks to a new friend in Canada, Brad Nice portions 1/2 Caesar salad and 1/2 Greek salad Natchos. The service is impeccable and the value for money is excellent.

I used to dine here often when I worked in the area and always had great food and great service. I was here with a friend from out of town today for the Niagara Spring Show and this was the first place I thought of for a late lunch. Big mistake! We were served our drinks and that was the last we saw of our waitress even though she walked by numerous times serving other tables.... After 40mins we left and went to Mossimos where the service was terrific and the food was tasty. So after talking up The Trap to my friend how great the food was it was pretty embarrassing the level of service we received. I would have liked to have rated the food highly once again this time, but I guess we will never know. I suspect there was more to the waitress neglect, sometimes haters gotta hate.

Ordered a plain cheese pizza and it wasn t good. Barely had cheese. Saw more sauce than cheese. Bottom was burnt and the top was kinda raw. Crust was good tho with that garlic butter.

★★
December 23, 2023

We have been going to the trap for years. In our opinion, the food quality has been steadily declining. The potato skins are now just half cooked potatoes back with some cheese and bacon bits. The wings are under sauced and it s all now overpriced. We are sad we don t have a local wing spot. So disappointed.

Ordered from here tonight and we will be back. Everything was delicious and fresh. We had about a 5-10 min drive home and everything was like it was brought out right from the kitchen. Thick crust pizza but not heavy, ample toppings, great wings and garlic bread. We got 2 nibbler boxes and it was so good. Plenty of food for 5 people and we even have leftovers.

We ordered pizza and wings because of another 5 star review. $83 for 1 pizza and 40 wings is reasonable these days but when youre paying that amount of money for one meal its very disappointing when the food isnt good. The pizza was undercooked, the cheese wasnt even melted in some spots. It tasted like a frozen pizza unfortunately. The wings (we got mild and medium) were somewhat better. They were the jumbo style but the sauce literally just tasted like Franks Red hot. The staff were great and the other food coming out of the kitchen looked good. Also I would recommend confirming what youre ordering if doing takeout. The menu we were looking at said 2 pizzas came in the combo we ordered and found out it was only 1 pizza when we arrived.

Nothing too fancy here, just good draught beer and great service. The food is good and whatever is on special for that night is always a great choice. Wings are among the best in the region. Friendly atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Easy to see why it is a local favorite.

The waitress was nice and apologetic. Drove from St.Catharines here. Definately NOT worth the drive. Im at McDonalds next door and as I type this I already got my food in ten minutes. SHOCKING!!!

Used to be a great bar have been going to the trap for years and now its just a terrible dive. Meals come out before appetizers and dont even get your drink order right.
