Great place , plenty of parking !! Very friendly service and the food was top notch
Enjoyed our lunch, family of five. All meals very good. Portion sizes were good and service was friendly.
The server was awesome, the only issue was the table they sat us. On a -9°C day, they made us sit at a table closest to the patio door, they knew draught sneaks in directly to that table... it felt like -2°C there. It was cold. We were told "as soon as another table becomes available, we'll move you" We watched as one table cleared, we thought finally, but nope. Second, third and fourth tables cleared, at that point we knew we were the forgotten clients. Our server finally came towards the end, and moved us. It's not like we didn't have a reservation! Happy Birthday to my wife on that day 😞
I went for a bite to eat while my son was at the Athletes Farm. I had the Blue Cheese burger. The meal was ok, but I found the bun to be on the small side and blue cheese flavor to be lost in the toppings. Maybe throw on caramelized onions not raw red. Server was friendly and food was timely. I would go back but would order something different.
If dining with a view was an Olympic sport, Upper Deck would be taking home the gold, silver, and bronze! The panorama from my seat was more breathtaking than trying to suck up a bowling ball with a vacuum cleaner. Now, let's talk food. I was expecting taste, but what I got was a flavour symphony conducted by the culinary masters themselves. The prices? In an era when inflation is treating our wallets like they're on a roller coaster ride, Upper Deck is the sensible friend saying, "Hey, relax, have a great meal, and no, I won't rob you blind." Disappointment? Not even in the same dictionary as Upper Deck. The staff was friendlier than a golden retriever on a sunny day, and the servings were more generous than my grandma during Christmas. The only real disappointment is that I didn't find this hidden gem sooner.
Enjoyed my lunch a lot! But...I ordered the Upper Deck burger and fries to take out for my husband. The burger was burnt...actually black. I am including a pic of the burger, but it doesn't look as burnt in the pics. This burger was $17 and a huge disappointment!!! Won't do that again.
The Upper Deck was a great choice for a last minute dinner with friends. We opted for dining inside since the weather wasn't great, but will for sure be back to sit on the patio overlooking the river. We tried out a few different items, from burgers to steak. Personally, I tried the Jalapaño Popper Burger with jalapeño dip on it. This was such a great choice and so full of flavour. I had it with yam fries and couldn't stop eating them. They clearly know how to season in the kitchen! Our hostess was incredibly kind both in demeanour and in serving us. She ensured we had enough food, water, and drinks. She made sure to check in with us and was able to answer any questions about the menu. Can't wait to go back and try out the patio!
They have extended their patio into the parking lot. Our table was not cleaned. It had food crumbs on it. We told our server and was wiped down immediately. We ordered wings with bbq sauce, a reuben sandwich, a steak sandwich and a Santa Fa salad. The wings and the reuben sandwich were delicious. Salad was not bad. The steak in the sandwich was tough. Avoid that. Service was quick.
Great food and great service.
Philly steak was great with chips. Always a great experience!
Good value really good service and food was certainly decent will return
It was OK. Service could have been better. Had a burger, little bland.
I had the chicken Supreme and it was the best. I really enjoyed the vegetables and I got a great portion. They were not hard but cooked to perfection. I have never had such tasty vegetables. I felt that one server was a little aggressive but I dealt kindness to her and asked her to give me a moment so we could find our money.
Took my mom and son here for lunch. Service was wonderful food was good and reasonable. Will be back.
Nice setting friendly atmosphere. Nice view. Good food Food
Service is always good, food is decent
The waitress was amazing. Food was great. We mentioned a happy occasion and the waitress insisted we wait so she could bring us a special dessert. Thank you so much!
Great service and food! I will definitely be back soon.
I was part of a lg group. We had great service and all ordered separately from the a la carte menu. We werezall happy with our meal and the service.
Good food. Friendly and good service for the most part but they are a bit understaffed. At least when we went
good food
The food was great but when I asked for a straw for my sangria I was told they do not have straws later I saw tables with straws . I was under the impression that a straw with sangria was standard b/c of all the fruit in the cup. Guess not but do advise it is BYOS (bring your own straw)
We had a great experience here! The food was delicious and fresh. Service was great as well!
Had our first experience here this past weekend and it was great! The wait staff was super friendly and accommodating, the food was awesome and we really really enjoyed the patio. We will definitely be back!
Horrible . They charge items that weren t even on menu. Asked for a dip for my fries. Extra extra without asking. Burgers are very small. Burger was falling apart. Will never order a burger again
Great pub food and decently priced.
Great food and atmosphere! Ill be back in the future!
Horrible food! $17 for a dry, flavourless burger served on a stale, hard bun.
The view is incredible on the patio. But everything else is average. With inconsistent food and service. I can vouch for the view. I cant vouch for the food. I do continue to go to this establishment on occasion.
Excellent food, ambiance and service. Will definitely be back!
Oh my gosh! The food was incredible, prices were quite good and our server Tracey was very professional and personable. Loved our visit.
Great food,friendly staff. Place is spotless. Calamari good and if the cook can get that right everything else will be fantastic.
First time but wont be the last. We had 5 in our party and seating was fast as was the service. Everyone enjoyed their meal, burgers, wraps and fish and chips. Pleasantly surprised at the prices. Definitely a good bang for the buck.
Great food & atmosphere. Great drink specials and large menu.
Always happy during happy hour. And the wings are awesome Update. Wings are still awesome
Service is always fast and friendly. Excellent burger and loved the French Onion Soup too!
Ordered through skip and the food arrived cold, the fries were definitely not fresh, they forgot the gravy and the food is just overpriced for the lousy quality. Trust me and go somewhere else.
Nive view. The goat cheese salad with mushrooms hit the spot! Grilled Cheese was my hubbys pick.
Great food great service, pleasant surroundings...give it a try you wont be sorry
Recently attended a company staff party at the Martindale location. Very clean establishment, staff was friendly and accomodating. The food, provided was great.
Very nice pub. Amazing view of the river. Great service.
Great food, great service, reasonable prices
Never a disappointment. Great service great food thank you!!!
We love this place and go quite often. Great food and service!
My friend had the tacos. Filling was good, but so much lettuce it was way too much. Presentation was overwhelming. Also had the burger, which was just ok as well. Food
It was impeccable. great prices and serving. Clean. Kind staff fast service no rushing you out the door after you eat . highly recommend
Good food and great staff. I would recommend this place to anyone!
Good ambience, friendly staff, quick service, and the outdoor patio is great in summers.
Wouldn t say i d chose this place if you have kids. Didn t have lids for the kids cups, didn t have straws at all, didn t have crayons & felt overall a little rushed during our meal. The jalapeño dip didn t taste too much like jalapeños at all which was whatever was still good. More of a place for drinks and a snack i d say. Atmosphere is cute tho
Beautiful views, out the large windows overlooking the ravine (didnt get to sit on the outside) tonnes of T.V.s to watch sports on. All great, but the noise can be a bit much.
Went for dinner with business associates, they booked us a great table for our reservation. Server was very attentive and helpful. Appetizers came out fast and were very tasty, we can coconut shrimp and jalapeno dip with pita for the table. Individual meals also came out quickly and everyone enjoyed. I had the Mediterranean burger an it was a good size, almost too big for the bun. Thanks for being a great choice for us to meet up with out of towners, all enjoyed it.
Great atmosphere and a fantastic view! Unfortunately, it was too cold to sit outside, but the staff could get us a table by the window to enjoy the view! The taco salad was superb, and the portion was significant. The white sangria is a must try!
Food was good. Service was good. Drinks are good. Highly recommended. Will be back
Excellent service - staff seem to really enjoy working there. We love the fish tacos and a nice cold draft. Great outdoor patio area as well.
Great atmosphere, friendly service.
Simply put, great food and friendly, attentive servers. Was a bit noisy but with so many people there it is understandable.
Always a great eating experience here.
We wanted to eat outside yesterday and Upper Deck has upped their game by expanding their outside area, and with perfect improvements. I had the fish and chips lunch, and everything was amazing. Food
Good food fair prices
On the way to the US I looked up food nearby and this spot was the first to pop up. Was not disappointed had quick responsive service when we came in. The drinks, appetizers, food came out quick and they were really good. If you re looking for a nice little spot with a nice view out of the back. This is a good option. Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly they have high chairs ready.
My usual order of wings and small Cesar salad have always been perfect.
The food was great. The back patio is nice. The drinks were delicious. The portions were right. Really enjoyed our visit.
Having driven passed a number of times, a friend and I decided to pop-in. The patio in the back is quite nice as it overlooks a green space and the service was tremendous. The food was just okay however... I contemplated the steak sandwich and was advised otherwise and I appreciated that. I had the adult grilled cheese and it was good. Just good. My friend and I had a great time there and will definitely return but it wont necessarily be for the food. Parking: Ample parking Wheelchair accessibility: Very wheelchair friendly
Overall, my experience at Upper Deck Tap House and Grill in the Niagara Region was quite positive. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes and has a pleasant atmosphere with a beautiful patio overlooking greenery and a creek. The staff was friendly, efficient, and worked well together, which contributed to a pleasant dining experience. The calamari dish was a standout, with a spicy and fresh flavor. The tangy orange sauce complemented the calamari well, creating a satisfying combination. The two shareable dishes, 20 hot and spicy wings and three fish tacos with a salad inside, were also enjoyable. The wings were well-done and packed with spice, catering to those who appreciate a bit of heat. The fish tacos had a great combination of flavors, and the addition of the salad provided a refreshing element. The restaurant also offers a good selection of beer and wine, providing options for different tastes. This is a great feature for those who enjoy pairing their meals with a suitable beverage. For dessert, I highly recommend trying the deconstructed Oreo cheesecake with whipped cream. The cheesecake was fresh and satisfying, hitting the spot for a sweet ending to the meal. The highlight of the restaurant is the patio, which offers a picturesque view of the surrounding greenery and creek. It provides a pleasant and relaxing setting for enjoying a meal, especially during the warmer months. I had a positive experience at Upper Deck Tap House and Grill. The combination of flavorful dishes, a great patio, and attentive staff made for an enjoyable dining experience. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others and would consider returning myself Parking: In a strip plaza so parking isn t an issue Kid-friendliness: Lots of finger foods and sandwiches
The staff was wonderful
Great rueben and friendly service
Great patio. Food was excellent.
Reasonably varied menu. Friendly staff. We like sitting out on the deck.
Good go-to spot for a quick beer and food. Close and convenient. A decent variety.
Had the chicken tacos. 2 were well-made, the third looked like they ran out of ingredients and just half-filled it. If youre going to serve 3 of something, they should be reasonably similar looking. Poutine was tasty.
Such a beautiful building, staff was so friendly and the food was delicious.
Very disappointing this evening. Tried to order Rolling Rock...just to be told it was out. Second pitcher we tried to order Corona but again... Out! Tried to order Beef on a Bun... Guess what... Manager whispered in servers ear dont think it one the menu anymore.... And it was no longer available! Ordered Steak Sandwiches... Med rare....both were over cooked.... One sent back... At the end of the night.... We approached manager at the end of evening to express our disappointment... His reply.... I took care of you. Well no you didnt... Your server did... And she was awesome by the way! No wonder your parking lot was empty at 9:30 on a Saturday night! NEVER going back...
Great food n atmosphere
Great food, great service , awesome view
First time there and loved it
Great people!
Always welcoming and great food and view of the bluffs
Food was delicious, service was above and beyond and the atomosphere was relaxing
Food was good. I had the Asian stir fry and it was very tasty. Large portion as well.
Went for the first time today for lunch and was very disappointed. The fish tacos were tasteless and the fish looked terrible and like it had been laying around, not hot at all. The burger was overcooked and tasteless as well. The service was great and it is a nice place but we wont be back.
Wow! Amazing! First time my wife and I went and it certainly wont be the last. The best food Ive had in a while. The service was great and the atmosphere was so laid back and friendly. Cant wait to go back.
Good food - good atmosphere - great service. Cant ask for more...
Great atmosphere, Ive only been for drinks, which were cold and on par w ii the anywhere else. Totally recommend this place for drinks with friends or even date night.
Bartender awesome. Carry out food. RIP OFF. Food
We had to park across the street but it was worth it!
Outside is deceiving, I thought it was more of a pub/ sports bar type place. But its actually a beautiful restaurant with absolutely delicious food. The French Onion soup and calamari were the best Ive had in awhile and the Onion Brie burger was so good, I was stuffed but couldnt help but finish every last bite because it was so delicious.
Dont be fooled by the exterior! This place has delicious food, excellent staff and a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommend the fish tacos and Oreo cheesecake in a mason jar (THE BEST!) They also have an awesome heated patio. We saw a deer out in the field last summer while having a cold draft and some wings!
Food was great and service was awesome! Definitely be back!
Very nice inside ( very clean/modern washroom) great service, unfortunately mediocre food. Burger was dry/overcooked, Cardboard Fries. OMG -- For 18 bucks can you at least serve up some good Fresh Cut Fries
11 out of 10!! What a gem. Food was amazing and the service was top notch. Wheelchair accessibility: A member of our party uses a wheelchair and the restaurant was easily accessed and the staff accomodated. Food : 5/5 |
Absolutely fabulous! The staff here are just peachy!! Bathroom smell like a garden, the food and atmosphere are a 5 star experience! Yes, I am a regular here. But it doesn t change who the people are that own and work here. I promise they will not talk to you the way they talk to me. It took years for me to earn that. Lol come on by and prove me wrong.
The food, unfortunately, was not to my taste. It seems, to me, that the ingredients used to prepare the dish were of inferior quality. This review originally had 2 stars. Cut to - another visit about six months later. It was a busier Saturday afternoon. We basically got shafted - we waited where it said: wait to be seated but no one came. A waitress behind the bar waved us in from 20 feet away. We waited at our table and were not greeted. Overall, we were treated dismissively by the staff. My buddy is something of a regular there as he has family living close by. We both wish that they did a better job of treating their customers as guests but, it seems that if you arent one of the every day retiree regulars competent service is hit-or-miss.
Great food and location for a nice meal with friends.
Good atmosphere, no complaints on the food and the view either.
Great service, drinks, food, & atmosphere!
Food was delicious, fast, and service was impressive for todays standards.
The only thing nice about here is the view. Went yesterday and there was about 6 people at lunch hour. The hostess/waitress acted as though it was the busiest day of her life. Even though our table was her only one and another waitress had the other tables ... We watched a couple leave after being dismissed by our waitress - probably should of done the same. While ordering, I let her know I have an allergy and when asking if something was safe just shrugged - no help or offer to go ask the chef. Food was gross - pretty sure the chicken was a frozen cutlet heated up and the burger was on a wonder bread bun. Highly suggest elsewhere!
Lovely staff, good food, A1 views.
Super good food and great service!
The staff were great! They worked as a team great sense of haha! Definitely a go to place!
Excellent house burger, very good service, a view and guinness on tap.
We ordered Chicken Supreme and Fish and Chips and both were delicious! We also enjoyed the cool beer pitcher we ordered in their patio tward the river. All in all, it was a great experience.
Good service and atmosphere, my chicken dish was good but my husband and son said the Mac n cheese had next to no flavour.
I really cant say enough about this place! The food, service, drinks, everything is outstanding! So many things on the menu, weve been a few times to try a bunch! The French onion soup and the seafood pasta being my favorites! Prices are so reasonable! And when your there, youll see the owner, with his sleeves rolled up, bringing food out, cleaning tables, helping his staff!! Those are the restaurants I wanna support!
Excellent food. Outstanding service
Good food, great service, and the deck is marvellous.
Went there on a Sunday evening for a late lunch. Really liked the patio seats on the back, has a nice view to enjoy a good meal and a drink. Staff is friendly and courteous. Was expecting the drinks and food to come a bit sooner, but thats alright for the weekend. Would love to see more variety in the menu.
The waitress was great but the food was aweful. Rice came completely plain with no seasoning, not even salt. Salmon was overcooked. Everything tasted like it was frozen or just slapped on the plate out of a can. Save your money
We were seated then sat for 20 minutes and still no service. None of the servers even acknowledged we were even there so all 4 of us up and left.....we even had reservations. We will never be going back again.
This place was awful was there with friends yesterday and waited for 20 minutes and still no service the place was not busy the waitresses kept ignoring us let s just say I wasn t going to stay there so went to Jack Astors and spent my. $250 there where I got great service and food. needles to say I won t be going there ever again and will be sharing this experience with anyone I know!
Ordered a steak mid rare, came out well done. Server didnt ask about the steak after it was served. Rice and vegetables were bland, no salt pepper or butter even. My girlfriend sent back a salmon. My stepmom had fish tacos, she finished them but didnt have anything nice to say about it. Only food that came out ok was my dads burger and some wings. All the food here is pretty clearly frozen. Probably the worst way to spend $140 in St. Catharines. Manager discounted it 20% because he knew they fd up, but it still wasnt enough. Id rather microwave chicken fingers than ever go back here.
Lets start with the good. The outside seating has a nice vibe on an evening. Inside seems nice enough. Waitress are friendly . Food came quickly. Bad: waited to be seated for over 10mins and the place was empty. Maybe 3 tables seated. Almost felt deserted. Which is also felt with the service. Seemed the server was busy but there really wasnt anyone to have her busy. Seems they all just hang out in the kitchen/back and come out every so often. Food was mediocre to say the least. Jalapeño dip doesnt really taste much like jalapeños but more like a cream cheese dip. Soup wasnt bad but wasnt great. Really wasnt that impressed with menu or the food we ordered. The only thing exciting about the drinks were the names of them. The presentation wasnt the best nor was the flavour. I hate when I write these kind of reviews but sometimes you just gotta be honest with the experience so others dont have to feel it. This place has a lot of potential but maybe better management is required. Not sure. Experience was very bland. Not one to recommend. But if you want to have a pint of beer and sit out on patio in peace probably isnt a bad idea.
I looooove their food!
Amazing food, service and atmosphere.
Went in for lunch and had an Upper Deck burger which was delicious while my mother had the fish and chips which she says were excellent. They were a little busy but the service was still excellent and the food came out fast.
The food tastes really good, the service was great. The portion was disappointed small.
Food was excellent. Service was AMAZING !
Amazing food, excellent services, the Oreo cheesecake was amazing as the Reece s cheesecake we enjoying it!!
Great places, great food, I was with my husband and my children, the food and the service was amazing. Thanks for the dessert, was excellent as well.
Nice vibe. Quick service. Food is okay.
Excellent place, excellent food, excellent service. We will see you soon!! Thank you
Sat on the Patio. My sandwich was really good.but the steak was thin and over cooked. Clean and staff was nice.
Was pretty disappointed with this establishment, I dont ask for much but when basic needs arnt met Im perplexed... we used the womens bathroom that stinks of mold there seems to be a leak in the ceiling and the bulging ceiling tiles is an accident waiting to happen. The smell of mold was overwhelming. The hand blower also refused to work and with no alternatives we were left to walk out with wet hands. We were sat and left to wait 10 minutes before we were served a kids menu. A menu that is clearly for coloring but the staff said they stopped buying crayons because they break... my kids had some chocolate milk and it seemed very white, after closed inspection and a taste test I realized it was definitely not real chocolate milk and chocolate syrup such as quik, it pooled at the bottom of the glass which was another dead giveaway. Gross. I requested straws and they said nope but then produced a few out of thin air. All meals were brought out at differing types. And they didnt check in on us to help refill drinks or any other requests we might have such as extra napkins. They clearly dont care about the family aspect of the experience and although the food was good the service was less then desirable. Wont be back unless the mold is addressed... thats just a health hazard. Side note having disgusting hand sanitizers on the tables is also gross. Everyone knows those bottles are only touched with dirty hands.
Chicken supreme was ...Supreme !!! Waitress was attentive and I enjoyed my experience very much..We will be back
decent food nice staff
Nice place for drinks and food. The patio at the back looks like lots of trees. Great servers who take care of you
Wont be back, the patio is nice, server was friendly, but the food was subpar. They used to put seasoning on the fries, now they are bland, I ordered a burger with Brie cheese, forgot I ordered it with Brie, and when I paid I noticed bill said with Brie, but realized there was not brie on my burger, I told waitress, she went and told owner, he said there was brie on it, I would know cheese if I ate cheese, also the buns were like wonder bread buns, used to be a good place to eat, maybe bad management
Im giving this place a 5 star because I couldnt do it 6. Amazing food, bathrooms were very cleanly. Great service too ! Would definitely come back.
Great restaurant for lunch, dinner or just grabbing a drink with friends. Patio has an outstanding view. Had the burger recently, one of if not the best in town. Super friendly staff. I got to speak with the manager, Ryan who I must say is a very pleasant chap. He does an excellent job in making sure all the guests are well taken care of.
I have gone here quite a few times with my mom no complaints at all foods amazing employees are amazing very clean restaurant
Great food & Great prices Vegetarian options: Pastas salads and vegetarian hamburger patties Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, vegan, vegetarian Kid-friendliness: Good environment for families Wheelchair accessibility: Patio is accessible
First visit to the Upper Deck TapHouse. Very nice establishment with courteous staff. Great place to catch a major league sport match. Also very nice view of the Twelve Mile Creek ravine.
Lousy burger, great fish n chips
Good food, nice view, casual environment, moderate prices - great for the price and the service is excellent. Also theyre always working on perfecting the menu - they clearly care there.
Good food
We stopped at The Upper Deck Tap House for a few drinks. Very friendly staff, larger seating area inside, with the best outside covered heated patio I have ever seen. I view is second to none. The kitchen staff is professional and proper. A large bar with lots of drink options. The owner is well spoken of by his employees.
Amazing place good food
Was recommended the burgers by the waitress and was VERY disappointed. These burgers were cooked the day before and reheated- change my mind. It was dry, hard and not even hot. For 16.99 i expected better.
I absolutely love the salads and Mediterranean burger here!! Staff always friendly as is the owner. Been coming for quite a few years now!! Food
Good food and atmosphere...
One of the best places in St. Catharines to eat with a lovely view of the ravine.The food is fantastic and the manager Mike and his staff are amazing. Must try the jalapeño popper dip it s sooooo good. Definitely recommend this place.
Good beers and. Deck over looking a quiet slope down to the river.
Great service. Friendly atmosphere. Delicious food. Parking: Big parking lot. Food : 5/5 |
Nice place
Reubens and Grilled Cheese were fantastic, even the French fries and gravey were great. The staff were kind.
Bit of a mixed experience for me. Ate in a few times, but inside of restaurant had an overpowering bleach smell. I just started eating on patio and solved that issue. Im a a pretty light eater, so usual a few drinks, and a salad and tacos that I share with my wife. Food is always fine. Last visit was marred by inattentive staff. After food was delivered, was never approached again. Would have liked another drink. After another 25 minutes tried to get my bill. Finally went inside to pay my bill and was given a bit of attitude. Wouldnt be inside if I could get help outside! Convenient location for me but lots of choice in the area.
Great place, little pricy but we loved it. The seafood pasta is soooo gooood
Great view. Awesome staff. Food is good. Free WiFi. Good amount of TVs.
Good wine and food selection. Friendly service that didnt make us feel rushed.
Beautiful restaurant with lovely view. The menu is a little limited although the food is well presented and tasty. Very quiet and an older crowd. Lots of TVs around which dont seem to be in keeping with the rest of the place and are really just distracting in what is an otherwise mellow ambience.
Good food. Good service. Would recommend !
Loved it. Great dinner with the girls
First time visit, food was great, service great, quite enjoyed the visit and recommend if you are in the area.
Promote Heather.
Excellent lunch. Great food excellent service
I have eaten here a few times, mostly sitting down (pre-pandemic) but more recently a takeout order. While I remember my sit-down meals being great, the recent takeout order was a bit disappointing. I had the California burger and the beef was so lean that it was a little dry and flavourless. My friend had the bacon mac n cheese and was unimpressed also. So my advice would be to give it a try but maybe go and sit down inside rather than order takeout.
