Same sauce used in pasta and meatball dishes. As thick as tomato soup and tasted like Chef Boyardee. Tasty potato perogies had no oil, butter, or sour cream so they were dry. Even the soft drinks taste watered down. The chicken legs and bbq wings were fantastic tho.

Let me just say, this place is a joke! Sure, it’s cheap, but if you want to survive on cold, dry food with a miserable selection, then be my guest. They don’t even offer drinks here; everything is sold at outrageous prices—like $6.99 CAD plus tax for a coffee! Are you kidding me? To make matters worse, I found a rotten onion in my cold stir-fry egg, and when I pointed it out, the staff had the audacity to claim, ‘It’s green pepper, it is what it is.’ Talk about rude and disrespectful! This is unacceptable. Avoid this place if you care about your dining experience!”

The food was dry, I understand we are only paying $12.99 all you can eat breakfast- but I wish they took care of the cleanliness of the plates and cups. I definitely would not pay for this! However, if you’re on a budget then this would make the most sense.

Came for breakfast on Saturday. Allot of mixed reviews so thought I had to give it a try. Honestly was happily impressed. Got seated immediately. Place was very busy, but they had a nice booth available, got up and they had about 10+ dishes hot and available. They were also constantly being topped up with fresh food. Waiter came over once we got back from the buffet and got our drink orders. $6 mimosas not bad at all. Food was good, basics from what you expect at breakfast from eggs, bacon sausage to pancakes and waffles plus they had donut holes and banana bread. It’s really hard to mess up breakfast so they did a good job. Waiter checked in a couple times throughout us sitting which was nice. Under $20pp was awesome for breakfast in Niagara Falls.

WORST. BUFFET. EVER. This was NOT my first time and I was NOT IMPRESSED at all! The moment I walked in they played Christmas music as we walked in and they made us sit near the washrooms where it smelled like marinated piss!! The tables were so damn sticky, even on the edges of the table! They don’t give you a proper drinks menu for soft drinks and water. Instead, they give you a sticky alcoholic beverages menu for you to choose from. On top of that, they overcharge every drink including coffee (over $2.99 before taxes). I’ve seen other customers ask for water and all they offered was a plastic recyclable water bottle which costed around AT LEAST $4. While I was looking at their food options, there was very limited amount of dishes I could choose from (they only have 1 aisle and ONLY 1 side for the breakfast buffet). The other side of the aisle was filled with completely empty trays. It was very unprofessional and I saw flies swarming around and sitting on the food. Their chicken was seasoned, cold, and sliced like it belonged in a salad. It tasted like an overnight chicken. Their French toast was dehydrated AF to the point where no syrup could make it moist again. The scrambled eggs with bell peppers was the only edible option at the buffet, HOWEVER, I swallowed a BLOCK of American cheese that was not evenly distributed properly. The bacon strips were overcooked and tasted like they were cooked several times. Couldn’t even slice my sausages cuz they were burnt and shrivelled like a plastic and rubbery dookie. The donuts tasted like a frozen ball of dough and omg they over sugar coat all of their desserts and waffles with powdered sugar, making everything WAY too sweet. Tater tots? Same thing. TOO DRY and leaving no room for any softness. Overall, an atrocious experience with how this business is letting this type of good quality to slide. I am truly shocked on how they managed to pass the health inspection.

Went here to try out their buffet with my fiance for dinner. The service here was good the staff were very friendly and attentive. The buffet selection was very good they even had BBQ chicken, burgers, and sausage outside cooking on the grills all you can eat. I was disappointed they didn't have chicken wings though for the buffet cause every place I've ever been always has chicken wings as one of their options. The restaurant was clean, quiet, and quaint. The food was pretty good. I'd recommend this place if your passing through and really hungry

Not sure what would make people happy when they're paying $11.99 for breakfast buffet. Firstly there were plenty of standard breakfast dishes - waffles, pancakes, scrambled eggs, omelette, toast, bacon, sausage, French toast, and whole bunch of sweet stuff. Food was warm, fresh and regularly refilled. Nothing tasted stale. And everything tasted great. Was it the best pancake or eggs or waffles I have ever had, no. But was it the best all you can eat breakfast I had for $11.99, yes. They don't offer free coffee or drinks but that's how they get their value. Otherwise they would run out of business where Starbucks sells just a drink probably for the same price. So I would definitely recommend if you have a hungry bunch of people who are all craving different dishes.

You must try the half and half lemonade and ice tea it's amazing. I have come back to this place a few times, and I do like their breakfast more, but dinner is best if u have small children and need options.. our server today was Lan and she is amazing and great with children..the atmosphere is family friendly and very clean.. and the price is amazing for what u get compared too any other place in the area. There is a lot of parking that is free.

We visited this restaurant s buffet on a snowy Thursday morning for breakfast. The buffet selection was very limited, with most dishes being empty. The bacon wasn t tasty at all, and the rest of the food was overly sweet and full of cinnamon. However, the staff s behavior and the restaurant s atmosphere were nice, with a warm and beautiful space. Breakfast did not include drinks, so they had to be ordered separately. Overall, the $12 buffet breakfast wasn t worth it. The only positive aspects were the delicious tea and the beautiful ambiance. In conclusion, I wouldn t recommend this place and wasn t satisfied.

This restaurant doesnt serve tap water, only bottled water for $3.99. Im not even sure its legal in canada to prohibit free water in a restaurant. We walked out. Terrible for the environment, and a terrible business practice. No thank you.

This place used to be good. At a recent outing with family, I found the service deplorable and the food mediocre at best. The manager lacked professionalism , which further dampened my experience. What takes the cake was that my two year old son was charged as an adult for eating some Penne pasta really?!!! This was a complete disgrace. Please get your act together because it s going to cost you business in the long run.

Food was cold. Due to the food being cold we didnt eat much at all. Adults $25.99 and could not believe they charged $16.99 for a 3 year old for dinner. I would never recommend this place for dinner. Yes we have been there for breakfast and it was great. Must remember all drinks are extra and expensive.

I had a wonderful meal here while on my way to find a Dollar Tree. I must say, it was amazing for the price! The place was fresh and clean, and the service was excellent. A special shout-out to Jessie, the friendly waitress from Guangzhou, and another lovely lady whose name I didn t catch both were so kind and welcoming. While drinks are extra, I didn t mind paying for a juice it was worth it for the great service and their smiles! Thank you so much!

No names and descriptions of the food was written at the buffet. You wouldnt know what are the ingredients. Very limited variety. They also charged full buffet price for a 21 months old baby. According to the supervisor, they see how much a baby is eating and then they decide if they would charge or wave the charges. Wasnt convincing at all. But definitely wont be going there again. Most of the good restaurants wont even charge a toddler or even kids under 5 years of age. BTW, coffee is charged separately and not part of the buffet, unlike many breakfast restaurants, and it was $4.50 a cup. Two adults, one 4 years old and one 21 months old, bill was $63.45. Many reasons not to dine or even try. I wish had taken the bad reviews seriously.

Honestly, I dont understand why this place only has three stars. The place is really nice and clean. The staff were very friendly and pleasant. Went there for the breakfast buffet at around 12:30 pm. in the afternoon, and food was on point. My only complaint was that the friend chicken was fried hard, and it needed a little more seasoning. Also, they just need more hot lamps to have the food heated. Outside of these observations, the food was great, and for $12.99, its a steal. Especially for breakfast buffet which is close to impossible to find in Canada - Id take this place any day.

Many foods were mediocre .salmon overcooked and dry Small ball? Unable to eat them because they are too hard... None of the dishes were appetizing. The handles of the metal dish lids were extremely hot, no fabric to open the cover without burning yourself. The meal is not worth 25.99 and in addition you have to pay for water 4.00 per person or soft drink from the fountain 5.00. I recommend people to check out the buffet before sitting down! Dessert: (3) jello-mix of whipped cream with small pieces of cakes-petit gateaux Several dishes were empty .

So its pretty much dont expect too much for the price you paid for , just need some food quality control from the kitchen going to the floor. Burnt sausage and bacon , wishing for more fruits for the kids to enjoy but hey still a fixable. Kinda got annoyed when the server told me that hey you know that drinks are going to cost extra. Like thats already a given.

November 22, 2024

Came here with my family for an early dinner. The food was bland and tasteless. A woman named Karen (haha I know, fitting name) scolded us for bringing in bottled drinks (we had been walking for hours) and then didnt ask us what we would like to drink. She seemed to survey everyone that was chosing food just to criticize them or the servers. Karen is WRETCHED. As for our server, she was so sweet which is why the high rating. If she was like Karen, I would give 1 star because 0 isnt an option.

November 22, 2024

Went 10/26/24. Food was garbage. Do not come it is good in the pictures only.Fruits tasted sour because it was spoiled or over riped, pineapple was not cleaned properly. The plates,soup bowls and other utensils fork and spoons were not hot , i found it yukky. Never go again . We were told they dont give water. Nothing is free. It is ok because we feel place is dirty.

Food was about what youd expect. Scrambled eggs, canned fruit, waffles, pancakes, bacon, sausage, tater tots. Coffee is weak but hot. Service was pleasant but they were quite busy. Probably one of the cheaper and easier options in the area. Would have been nice if they had a non-pork or plant based meat option.

Its expensive for really bad food. Flavorless or overcooked was the norm. The stuffed cabbage was ok, though. Outdoor BBQ area served cold buns for what may have been decent burgers and dogs. Sausage was petrified. Silver haired lady employee at bar doing silverware was endlessly going on about her complaints of customers and employees. Buffet employee was very rude. Drinks were empty and not checked by server until we were ready to leave. Lots to fix at this place.

We identified this place to eat when we were returning from Toronto. The waitress who served us was very friendly and helpful to us. They have a variety of foods to consume. In our case it was already after 4:00 pm and we were able to eat our fill here. The chicken wings were cold but we enjoyed everything else. An excellent price compared to the costs of food and alternatives you have in the area.

Came here for dinner for the first time because they re known for pretty good breakfast. Very disappointed. please save your money and go elsewhere, pay extra for better food. It s overpriced for what I would say equivalent to dog food. It was lacking flavour, dry, not much options, overcooked for some stuff. They even charge for water apparently, which is crazy considering the quality of food they have there

Poor selection.. overpriced tea bag or coffee.. 4 per child drink.. no fruit... Limp and over steamed food.... No oatmeal..... But friendly staff... Dont even think about bringing your just purchased coffee from anywhere else in. You get stopped at the door. Never again... Also no Gluten Free options other than very low quality meat...stayed away. Oh and you have to wait outside

When we were reading the sign outside someone passing by said think twice - read the reviews first . So I did. From what I saw, the low reviews were very from picky people (maybe I missed some that were constructive) so I decided to go in anyway. Delicious food! Our server, Yan was amazing! Friendly, happy, attentive. The food was hot and delicious. I was shocked by the variety of choices. Everything was clean - tables, floors, washrooms, dishes. I recommend eating here. I d definitely come back!

November 22, 2024

I wish I would have read reviews before we stopped ! Terrible ! Terrible ! Sure it appears cheap but they actually charge for bottled water . Food was cold , pancakes inedible and just an overall bad experience . Dont waste your time !

Then I tried a piece of the omelette that was amazing. So I thought I would go there again because the price is good but I would just eat only the omelette and the fruit. But for breakfast or early lunch, its definitely worth it for the price and we gave a ten dollar tip

It wasn t the worst but they have to work on a couple things. First is the food, it is edible but nothing is really delicious, all very mediocre. It is very difficult to get attention of the servers which is odd in a self serve buffet where they only take care of drinks and empty plates. They don t serve tap water which is always an icky move to force people buy drinks, though the drinks are refillable. There are better options around.

I have never felt more disappointed by a meal. We went to AlMacs out of nostalgia for pre-covid times but were disappointed to see the quality has declined significantly. We went for a dinner buffet and our first impression of the restaurant was dingy and in disrepair. The food looked dull and slimy. Most if it tasted like mush while others were packed with salt. I think we took a chance on a few items but soon decided this was a mistake and called it. Never have we ever left a buffet so fast. The kicker were the sodas tagged onto our bill that we never ordered. Overall paid 70+ for a few bites of sludge.

Food was decent, service wasnt too bad either, until another table came in and were ordering meals and drinks instead of the buffet like our table of 5 were. We waited over an hour for refills on our pops and for some dessert after this. We flagged our waitress down multiple times and she kept saying she would bring it next, but then kept running back to the other table with stuff and even hanging around their table making banter. My wife is a bartender so I get that she was thinking that they would be bigger tippers but BECAUSE my wife is a bartender she was most likely wrong. Our autistic son ended up having a melt down for a drink in their parking lot and our my wife had to start taking loudly about how if we just walked out without paying she wouldnt even notice before she came with our drinks, no dessert and the check. It set our dayaction off and didnt have time to finish the rest of our planned activities because we were stuck at the restaurant with no service for almost 2 hours longer than we should have. So because of this we will never be visiting this establishment again and the waitress lost out on a $30 tip cuz we left her nothing

Food was decent enough for the price but the drinks were expensive. My son and I went hor breakfast, the server was attentive but partway through my meal I asked for a glass of water and was told they dont serve tap water unless you need to take a medication and tgat tge bottled water was $3.99 I have an issue with reflux and difficulty swallowing without water. I did not want to pay for water after already paying for 2 coffees. Because of this I was not able to finish the food I had on my plate because it was all stuck in my throat and chest. Absolutely unacceptable that they do not provide tap water. I feel like it should be illegal to do this. I wont be returning to dine there again.

I asked for a glass of water. Was told they would not bring me one, they would only sell bottled water. Was told I could not drink water from my own water bottle either. I cant comment on the food, because at this point we got up and left to go and find a restaurant that wants its customers to enjoy their dining experience.

The food was not too bad, it was what you d expect for the price. My husband and I both also ordered coffee. I asked for a glass of water when a waitress was walking by. She told me that they don t sell glasses of water, just bottled water. I asked again, stating that I did not want bottled water, just a glass. She told me no, that I would have to buy a bottle of water. I have never once been denied a glass of water at a restaurant, and was honestly dumbfounded.

A super affordable price and the quality of the products is very good, the best thing is the clean place and the very friendly staff, extremely friendly, something that is difficult to find in many places. They have a food bar, sweet and savory, fruit, gelatin, eggs, potatoes, etc. Very complete for breakfast. The best thing is the free parking.

I just had a bad experience with the staff of this place. The patio was completely empty and now makes sense why.. I don t recommend this place!

September 22, 2024

I had the worst buffet experience in here yesterday. They haven t any clue about what is called as a buffet. Two or three deserts were there and the cheese cake was awful. They have used spoiled ingredients to make it. Food inspectors should keep in touch with this place. I do not recommend their buffet for anyone. Not even water is free. We wasted our whole fun of the trip by having their buffet.

We came here for dinner one night during our group trip to Niagara. This place was suggested by one of our group members, and was in close proximity to our hotel. The food was ok, not the highest quality, but you can tell this going in. Some items were very salty, some not salted at all. For the most part the waitress and most staff were so kind and professional . The reason for the 2 stars is this. There was a tall salt and peppered haired guy at the plates, wiping dishes off with a rag. I picked up a plate and noticed that there was pasta sauce on the next plate under it. I checked the bottom of the plate I grabbed and sure enough, it had pasta sauce on it. I proceeded to take the dirty plates off of the pile and put them on the gentleman s cart. He responded to me stop trying to do my job lady, just take your food and go! I said sir, I placed those plates on your cart because they had pasta sauce on them. They are dirty, and should not be used to serve food He said, that s someone else s job, not mine, and he proceeds to take the dirty plates off of the cart, and puts them back onto the clean plate pile. He then, takes a rag, and wipes the pasta sauce off of the dirty plates, and puts it back onto the pile. At that point, I walked away, told my husband to let s pay our bill and GO. I am an American tourist, but we have sanitization standards in place for restaurants and I was shocked at how he just wiped old food off of the plates and put it back for people to eat of off. We would never go there again. Nor would I ever recommend this place. I realize that maybe the dishwasher didn t clean everything, and that is fine, but take the dirty dishes back to the kitchen to be rewashed, don t dare wipe off old food and then give it to someone to eat off of. I started imagining all of the glasses and everything else we used being filthy and unsanitary. Never again.

I couldn t like this place less. The buffet was 100% cold. Bacon had insane levels of fat chunks. Even my friends who are good with bacon fat were grossed out. Pancakes cold. Waffles, floppy and cold, tater tots you guessed it, cold. Scrambled eggs were a rubber chunk of nope. There was a good review of the omelet mix, and that was the only hot thing I saw that sad and hungry morning. Coffee is $4 and you can t just get a glass of water, you have to pay $4/tiny bottle. Staff are overwhelmed so our free refill coffee came when we were half done our meal. Not maple syrup which is embarrassing on this side of the border. That s definitely the sad American table goo. We all left with the agreement that it was food, so that was a check. Otherwise garbage. Others were tougher than me so pushed through. I left hungry after spending $20 per person P.s. there was one very sticky chair. Syrup accident? Seriously. The basic food would be fine if it was hot. I d settle for that.

Important considerations. Coffee is $4, soda is $5, and they only sell bottled water (no tap). Everyone in my party ordered a drink. I wanted a coffee and a water, but I would have had to pay for 2 drinks. This is ridiculous. I could understand paying for water if I hadnt already purchased a drink, but to buy two drinks is absurd. I would not recommend this place, however, its better than other all you can eat breakfast buffets. The food is below average, but again, better than others in town. Overall, youre better off going to a restaurant and ordering a quality meal. The breakfast buffet here is limited.

September 22, 2024

Was fairly disappointed. For the $12.99 we assumed it would be a basic breakfast buffet but was quite dry and hard to choke down. Water was $5.50 for bottles and refused to offer tap water. Waitstaff had to be reminded multiple times for coffee/juice as we didnt receive them until we already finished our meals. Assume breakfast is going to be $20 before tip

September 22, 2024

I was very upset that we chose this restaurant as our last dinner in Niagra falls. The food was horrible, all the meat was so hard, and dry we couldnt chew it. They were allowing kids to get their own ice cream , heads in the buffet and hands everywhere.( we have nothing against kids, we have 6 and 5 grands) we would never allowed them to do that. We paid $70 and maybe forced down a plate between the 2 of us. Our drinks were $5 each. This is just our opinion, maybe thats how people like their food there, but we could not eat it.

September 22, 2024

Good luck getting your moneys worth out of this place 25 per person left with a 40$ tab I got one drink and tipped $6

One of the worst Buffet we have ever been to. We were there at 5pm today. All food was dried out, fish, chicken wings even the potatoes. Mentioned to our server and she told us fresh was coming. Wont go back, we should have relised when only 10 people were in a resturant that holds over 150.

We have been coming to Almacs when we visit Niagara about 6 to 8 times a year for the past 5 years.

I asked since when and they said the charge for any child under 10, very disappointed

The food wasn t good and the drinks are EXTREMELY OVERPRICED 5.50 for a glass of orange and we asked for water they don t even give you some they sell you a 4$ water bottle!!! By the way we clearly understood the price was 1$. Don t even encourage them we left 0 tip what was supposed to cost 13$ costed 25$!!!

August 22, 2024

Very disappointed with the food.. disgusting beans and oatmeal. The price is listed at $12.99 but the prize is inside . Coffee and such are around $5. Even water is sold bottled. This was our first and last visit. I give them 0 stars.

August 22, 2024

where to begin. before we came to this all you can eat buffet we read the reviews. they were awful (rightfully) yet we still wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt and try it out. at a price point of $26 per person (not including drinks even water) for dinner it was atrocious. the food was disgustingly dirty and ill prepared. just by looking at and smelling the food we could tell it was old and gross. after actually tasting the food our suspicions were correct. it was extremely bad and we could barely finish our plates. there were flies everywhere and the food was either very wet or very dry no in between. the only slightly redeeming quality was some of the desert options. overall the food was what you could expect for a $15 buffet. not $26 DONT WASTE UR TIME AND MONEY HERE very obvious tourist trap.

Nice food and service. We came for the breakfast, many choices of food. Bacon was good, pancakes really good. Weve appreciated our experience. Could be awesome if there was more fresh fruits. Dont bother with negatives comments, it was more than ok for the price. Drinks are not include in the buffet price.

1 star for participation. Disgusting food

August 22, 2024

The food was tasteless, cold and dry, most of the time I did not know what I was eating. They do not serve water. You have to pay for a water bottle. What bothered us the most( because I went with my friends) it was the toilets. Trashed. Used paper toilet on the floor both on the women and men side. We paid and left with most of us untouched cold food and an upset stomach. I believe the only thing that made experience at least not totally negative was the staff who paid attention to us. That s all.

August 22, 2024

They TRICK YOU with the price on the door. No tap water available is a jerk move to force you to buy $4 (per!)bottle water or $6 for a refillable beverage. Every other tourist location we ve eaten at in Niagara Falls has been normal priced for beverages. It s literally a trick to make you think they re cheaper than they are. The food is very limited. The quality is ok, not great. Flavor is all over the place. Too seasoned, or no seasonings at all. Would not recommend.

We were in the Falls for a Bachelorette weekend. We went on a Sunday morning after a night of drinking. First, it was a lot of bees outside. They can t really do much about it but the door opens and bees are now inside. Inside is super hard to get a seat due to overwhelming crowds. The food was underwhelming, bacon was insanely salty. It was all you can eat but I had one plate. There wasn t much options, no fruits, cereal etc. it was so disappointing. The coffee was what I was looking forward to the most and it tasted like hot water and milk. Gross THE SERVICE was atrocious. We had an older blonde lady, she was not friendly at all. It seems like serving us was such a hassle. The place was dirty, the tables were sticky. I would never come back here. Not even for free

We visited over the weekend and found the menu appealing, but the quality of the food, particularly the bacon, carrot cake, and egg omelet, was disappointing.

DONT BE FOOLED, there s no BREAKFAST included with your hotel. When we booked this hotel, breakfast was included. For the breakfast they gave us a menu and they said you only have ONE choice from the menu I paid so much for the breakfast and just one item from the menu that costs less than what I paid is awful. Second day , the breakfast staff told us we are in shortage of staff , you have to wait an hour to get a seat in the restaurant while many seats were empty. When we went to speak with the manager in the reception , they said he s not here today and they were really rude to us. It s a shame that a hotel you paid for located Niagara , one of the most touristic places in Canada and obviously the crowdest , doesn t not have enough workers . It sounds strange to me .

A lot of plates had suspicious brown spots on them, couldn t tell if it was just stains from prolonged use or actual dirt regardless, the sight was very unattractive to consumers to say the least lol. My silverware was mildly sticky around the handle and it was pretty uncomfortable to touch .. breakfast food is pretty alright for a cheap diner, loved the little weird powdered dough puff things. I don t know about those tarty-looking sausages, though.. Do not recommend if you re terrified of getting sick, cause it s a breeding ground for stressful situations tbh. Parking: No clue but there was enough to pack at least 25+ different cars. Awesome Kid-friendliness: I mean there was kids around, so it s alright for them. So, googoogaga, go off I guess
