Lazy Lizard in St. Catharines

Great food and atmosphere

#1 Pub for food in Niagara with great atmosphere specially in the summer. Most attentive wait staff than any other restaurant /pub in Niagara. Couple negative things though...Had wings twice over a 2 weèk span there. First time so over cooked and dried out. Tried again a week later absolutely frozen cold with a really cold buffalo sauce..I get it you have keep sauce refrigerated but they need to warm it before they pour it over the wings. Plus they sat to long before delivered to table making them even colder ....waitress did say I can get you more that are hot no problem ..but already ate the cold ones couldnt wait. So she did her due diligence. Other than that bar none best food for bar pub in Niagara . Just a couple of off days with the wings I suppose.

Took granddaughters there. Broasted chicken was so greasy couldnt enjoy at all. 2 kids menu and I -3 pce roasted chicken and bill was over forty dollars plus a tip to the server. Wont be attending again..

Great food but overpriced, 75 dollars for 12 wings and a couple drinks, hard to justify when your feet stick to the bathroom floor. Will look elsewhere for a better option moving forward.

Dear Anthony and Gary. Your crispy chicken wrap is literally the best thing I ever had. It was amazing when it was hot but it was even better cold a day after. You guys don t understand. This wrap changed my life and points of views. Anyone that goes to lazy lizard should get the crispy chicken wrap.

Wow! Just got a ribeye steak sub there and it was super tasty. Loved their fries. Really nice staff and the place was clean. Will return soon!

Great food and service!! Fun place 4 bands and watching the games on the big screens !!

Went there today for the first time as we ve heard nothing but good things however we left extremely disappointed, our food was cold and part of it was wrong. However, we were unable to speak to our waitress because she never came to check on us once and we did not see her. When we asked to for our bill, it took at least 15 minutes for that to happen as we watched her wander around the restaurant. Will not be returning

Food was great, slow service, more of a bar than a restaurant atmosphere.

Ok serious chicken sandwich WOW! It s Brosted ? Crispy and juicy. Service was excellent, Nicky our server helped us with what to order, her service was amazing!!! AND watched NFL with sound playing. Awesome time!

Was first time there. Food was great. Not a bar person. Bit loud for me. Went there with friends. But Im old and dont like loud lol

Food was fantastic as was the service. Went to see the Marty Allen band and they were great

Food is fantastic and staff is so friendly! Great relaxing atmosphere, we drive from Burlington to eat here.

A friend recommended this place for pizza and it is now my go to! When we eat at LL we always have great service and hot fresh food!!

This is a sports bar with a great patio, located on Ontario St in St. Catharine ont. Great food at really good prices and the portions are large

We have never been disappointed with the food, the broasted wings are delish!! They have the coldest beer in the city!

Went to have a nice lunch but unfortunately it was a bad experience all around, I m not sure if it was because it was busy or not but the service was horrible, the pop was bad even the water tasted bad, took forever for the food to come out and when it did I was scared to eat it. It didn t look good or smell good. I will not be coming back.

Good food and service but a bit too loud for me. Thats just my preference, great restaurant

Service is so fast and efficient! Our favourite Friday bar :)

Best service in niagara and even better food!

Great service but the food wasn t that great. The fish and chips were horrible. The coating on the fish was tasteless and the fries as well. Great prices but the food wasn t.

Food was absolutely delicious. Well cooked and quick Parm dough bites, wontons, chicken sandwich and steak sub with taters and gravy. All delicious. Service was great , very friendly, and worked together as a team Food

Amazing place good portions of food live entertainment Ive seen during summer Sunday 330 to 730 a single female can enjoy herself at bar with amazing staff service interactive people.if you choose respectful patrons and kind atmosphere highly-rated and recommendations for families couples and single women and men very relaxed establishment

This place rocks. Good place to watch any sports! The food is beginning to not surprise me how good it is when I order different things. Very impressed with the quality fo food ans friendliness of the staff!

Good service. Ok food.

On Victorias Day, our family came to visit and after checking Google reviews we settled on this place. Upon entering and getting seated, our server immediately asked if were ready to order. We literally just sat down when she asked and upon telling her we needed a moment to check the menu she left and did not return for 15 minutes. When she returned she had no water and reason for the massive wait time (the majority of the people there were sitting at the bar drinking and including those patrons only a third of the place was occupied with people eating and no one new had come in to sit down. (We were seated near the main and rear entrance) Sufficed to say, things went downhill from there. We asked the server a question about 3 of their most popular menu items (wings, steak sandwich & club sandwich) and our server rolled her eyes, abruptly cut us off and told us she had other customers to serve and would be back soon to take our order. At that point, we should have left but we were hungry and our guests were elderly and arent good with just getting up and going to multiple places. Fifteen minutes went by and we didnt even have drinks or water at our table, just 8 empty glasses. My wife expressed that possibly because we are not white that this was the reason for the poor service. After a while, our server reappeared and took our order. From this point we waited half an hour for our order to arrive. During this time more people were coming in and sitting down and being served drinks and food before us. I understand sometimes simpler orders come out quicker but, of the three groups that walked in after we had ordered, ALL OF THEM received their orders with drinks and a smile. We had enough, and were preparing to leave when our order arrived. Let me begin by saying that the JUMBO wings they advertised are NOT so. In fact as far as chicken wings go they were hard and tiny with almost no meat on them. Definitely not what youd expect from a place thats apparently known for their wings. I cant stress how meek and small and dry they actually were! (I regret not taking a picture) The wings reminded me of the wings you get at some truck stop off the highway where this type of food is an afterthought. Next was my Uncles club sandwich, whereby simply looking at the thing you would say it was a common chicken sandwich. It was a piece of chicken with some scraps between what looked like two hamburger buns. In all my 50 years of life and travel, I have never seen a club sandwich like that! I thought possibly it was a mistake so I asked our server if this was a club sandwich or a chicken sandwich to which she rolled her eyes again and said yes this a club sandwich. My uncle took a bite and the center of the cutlet was frozen. My uncle asked the server to check for herself because after telling her this, she argued with him that this is the sandwich. Reluctantly she took the sandwich away stating she would have the kitchen take a look (not remake it or make a fresh one - take a look!) To be fair, I will say my Father In Law said the steak sandwich was edible. Hes a diabetic and needed to eat. Apart from the steak sandwich the rest of the fare was abysmal to say the least. This was my worst experience to date. I live in STC and this was our FIRST and LAST visit to this place! The only saving grace of this experience was seeing my family who are always excellent company. Everything else related to the food, service and treatment at this place was not just below average but securely situated at the bottom of the barrel. If I could I would give this place negative stars I would have. Let this review be a warning to anyone thinking of bringing their family here. As a bar, Im sure this place functions accordingly. However, a family restaurant it is not! Not by by any stretch of the imagination! Do yourself a favour and go anywhere else. I apologize for the detail of my review but I felt nothing else would do our awful experience justice!

Best wings in town and the beer is a good price.

Food was great, staff were very friendly. Highly recommend.

Always great vibes here. Excellent wings and the service provided by Andy was great. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic place to get wings.

This place is an awesome bar and grill, sharing a parking lot with a paint depot who warn you many times not to park there, they dont mess around with towing. That being said, the famous broasted wings are absolutely fantastic, I wish you could get them sauced because their Cajun sauce is phenomenal. We ordered some other flavours which were par to subpar, and some of the other food was a bit messy but very tasty. The service was awesome, our waitress was attentive and on top of everything, food was out on an average time. They have tvs everywhere and can put pretty much anything on. The regular wings arent as good as the broasted wings, but they are still very very solid. Sunday Club Wing rating: 3.5/5 Overall, this one gets a knock for some subpar flavours, and Pepsi instead of Coke. I will definitely come back for those broasted wings!

This is my go to place for pizza and wings in St kitts! Delicious and reasonably priced!! Had the first date with my husband here haha love it!

Great food! Great service!

Great local place. Super tasty pizza, big yummy wings. Yummy cocktails. Great prices, great service.

Best pizza ive had in a long time

The chicken wings are the best. The wings are huge and taste delicious. Ill definitely be back because Id also like to try other foods on the menu.

Food was cold under cooked and was bland, servers didnt really care, tvs are all broken and in the end of there lifes seating wasnt comfortable either

I have been going to the Lizard for years. Love the food and enjoy sitting on the patio for a few bevies. Staff are amazing. Food : 5/5

Love it

Only went for a couple drinks, pretty nice staff and nice interior

Good food, good prices and good service.

Lazy lizard has some of the best wings Ive ever had. Great place to watch a game and hangout with friends. All the staff are very friendly and easy to talk to.

Met a few friends for a pint. Your typical neighborhood pub. Service was fast and friendly, beer was cold, Nachos were a good portion and it was good overall value. Place was busy early so they must be doing all the right things. I will definitely be returning.

They serve pub food, but its amazing. They have the best wings I have ever had. My hubby and I have eaten here many times and the food is always great! No matter what we order, its fantastic. I highly recommend The Lazy Lizard.

Really dislike giving low reviews but our experience here was not very good, which is a bummer because we d heard raving reviews from others. Something that really stood out in my mind was that place was pretty dirty, and on top of that the food was not very good (I had the chicken club). Hoping we might have caught them on an off day? I really don t know. Either way, I don t think we would ever go back, which is a bummer because it s so close to our home.

So last my cousins and I finally got together after 2 years of not seeing each other and I wanted to take them to a sports bar so I thought of the lazy lizard last time I was there the food was great the drinks were tasty and the service was fantastic; but last night was not a good experience. It took them one 1 to bring us our food and the restaurant was completely empty only a few people in there and no one was ordering food except the 8 of us. They brought my cousin the wrong food and the fries were cold too and forgot to take it off the bill, but I said something to the server about that and she corrected it, them she charged me for a double drink when I only ordered 1 and she corrected she had to correct that bill, then my cousin order non-spicy wrap because she cant handle spicy at all and she told the waitress that and when it arrived it was way too spicy for her even I tried her food and even I said it was too spicy and it was cold. My perogie pizza was the only thing that I really enjoyed about it. Im really surprised by this experience we will not be returning again.

Best chiky Wings Ive ever had! Never been disappointed with the service either. Give the lizard 10 stars if I could.

Love this place. Unfortunately its in St. Catharines so the driving becomes a issue some times. Food and the Service is alway A++

Friendly staff, good food and atmosphere. Wall to Wall TV so you can watch all the sports live. A little pricey but you get what you pay for

Local watering hole

Goat Cheese Wrap was UNREAL. Great service as well!

I order take out for lunch at least once a week always excellent for and service

Great atmosphere, great food ! Love the wontons

Fair prices good food service was very attentive

Great stop after work for a few pints with the boys

Consistently good food at decent prices.

Best good I ve ever had 5/5 would recommend Kid-friendliness: Good place for kids 3 and up

The food was ok but the waitress was terribly rude. She was awful to us from the moment we got there and looked so displeased to be taking our order or communicating with us. None of us could understand what her problem was, she started off on this tone as soon as she came to our table so it couldnt have been something we did or said. She was very visibly displaying hostility toward us. wouldnt return because of her and wouldnt recommend for the same reason.

Steak sub for the win

I ordered a taco salad and was a little surprised as to what it looked like. Basically it was some hamburger with nacho chips stuck in it. Food : 3/5

Went to a retirement/ birthday party and the food and atmosphere was great! Wings were massive and pizza was hot a and delicious! Best wings in Niagara!

We stop for a quick bite because we had to go back to a dance competition and usually pub bar are fast, the service was good and the beer was cold, but the food was terrible we ordered tacos my daughter order fish tacos the tortillas were cold, the fish tacos was more like lettuce and cheese the fish was tiny little pieces and was hard and tasteless and My carnita tacos the tortillas and meat were cold, we were in a rush so I couldn t wait to get something else ;(

Excellent

Great place to chill after work. Food is good for a sports bar pub style, the pints are good and the atmosphere is easy going. They need a few new TVs mind you as some are past their time.

I ordered the fried pickles as a starter with the Buffalo Chicken Poutine as a main. Despite being an appetizer, you easily could have the poutine as your meal, with no need for an appetizer whatsoever. Staff were friendly and welcoming, despite taking a while to finally come to collect our food order. Past experiences here have been much better with quicker service, so I will chalk it up to a one-off day with service.

Great place. Reasonably priced.

I used to go to this place for years when they were in the old Henley Plaza. They had the best chicken wings I find around town pretty much. Unfortunately nowadays theyre very very pricey so before looking on the internet to check out prices make sure theyre the prices that are posted because the menu is pretty old and the prices are not the same 24 wings are 42.00 . The atmosphere was very quiet theres only four people in the bar at 11:30 on a Friday night.

This is my go to. Great staff, the food is amazing and the prices are good. Try the taco salad!

This place is great. The owner Anthony is the man! If ur looking for good food, drinks and atmosphere in st.kitts this is the place to be.

Unfortunately the food is great but past visit the service absolutely sucked!!!!!

No drink menu and Untrained Bartender & server. Good place if you like just a beer and pub food.

Amazing service and great food! The wings were excellent . We also tried the chicken habanero soup and it was also delicious. The only suggestion I have is to have hot gravy for the poutines so the cheese curds can melt.

Really enjoyed our dinner tonight! The server was informative and helped us make excellent choices. And the broasted (yes - broasted) chicken is flavourful and crispy and tender. Side Caesar was excellent. Nearby wings and pizza looked good as well. Parking: Lots!

Fantastic atmosphere, with excellent friendly service. Fantastic live music on a wonderful patio.

Went there tonight with my wife and her friend and the food was good and the live band was excellent.

I ordered the Julienne salad and although it looked good it was just ok. Mainly because the chicken was cold and there wasnt a lot of meat in it. The ice burg lettuce was shredded too thin for my liking. The service wasnt good. I waited a super long time and finally the manager noticed and took my order. I recommend not going on a busy night if youre looking for good service. Im gonna give them another shot but try something else on the menu.

Nice patio, service is great. The broasted chicken is really really good, portions are generous, the Caesars are great aswell. Lots of good choices on the menu.

Great pizza and wings,service was good drinks were good,I would recommend for a nice patio retreat with your favorite people

We were told they had the best wings and it was true! I rarely have wings I actually enjoy at restaurants but these were great! Not overcooked and not tiny. Great flavors! And the onion rings were amazing too! Big portions and everything was good quality.

A wonderful local pub, with awesome food and a great assortment of beverages. Terrific staff, especially Niki

Best wings ever. Get the broasted

Great wings and more of a sports bar!!!!!

A nice casual pub/restaurant.. The menu is great with lots of different styles of food and the prices are refreshingly reasonable. Try the tacos or the bros chicken!

Awesome casual pub/bar. Prices, food, service and atmosphere are great!

Always enjoy coming here, great pizza and wings!! Its our go to place!!

Yummy

Got there chicken poutine and its phenomenal! The portion is big for the price as well. Highly recommended will definitely be back. They are also quick and friendly.

Terrible customer service!!! I ordered chicken wings and they gave me the wrong order and they were not able to solve it.

Ordered 36 wings 25 mild 11 hot , got home and realized they gave me all of them hot. Call them and they avoid completely their responsibility saying I did Order BBQ mild which is hot as well, but they gave me all of them HOT, you can notice the difference when you order BBQ mild sauce and hot sauce they are completely different. No recommend this place anymore!! In one month this happened to me twice I been Ordered food from them since 4 year ago now they lost a customer.

Great service and food. They have Oast beer on tap. Food : 5/5

When I come home, its the only place Ill stop for wings (and beer). The best.

Its usually fantastic, but... This past Sunday, it took 10 minutes to order drinks, another ten to get two beers and a couple of waters (plus 20 for the coffee), then our orders were finally taken after staring quite obviously for a while until the other server stepped in to help. It was then another 30 for pizza to arrive. We finished the pizza before the kids meal and wings arrived, separately. They said they werent short-staffed and didnt get why things were so slow. Nothing was offered in compensation. Didnt complain until Google asked me to rate my experience.

Popped in to have a quick bite. Very busy but the staff had everything under control. Service and food were excellent! We shared the loaded fries (excellent) and popcorn chicken. Kid-friendliness: Quite a few children even though this is a pub style restaurant.

Great wings

Good atmosphere, good service

Great menu and very fair pricing! Try their wings they re huge!

I ordered through the Dine Niagara app. I got a Smokehouse Burger meal, and Mexican Wontons. Good: The wontons were delicious. The perfect balance of smokey and spice, and good dipping sauce choice in the sweet Thai chilly. I also liked the crispy fries. I liked that the patty was home made and fresh to the taste. Bad: I ordered through the app for today at 12. Instead I got it at 12:45 because they didnt get the order. THe only reason I did was because I called. Great service in terms of gettijng the order out quickly, but still an annoyance. The burger didnt have any sauces on it like ketchup or mustard or even mayo. So I had to add my own. It was an odd choice on their part, I thought, but to each their own. The bacon also didnt taste as smokey. All in all, I would come back for the wontons and the fries. An order of their Mexican and southwest wantons will be my go-to choice!

Good food, came very promptly

Best wing ever. If they ready their food on time, it will be 5 stars

Went with my son and my two granddaughters the food was good and it was enjoyable people were nice

Wings are perfect and different

Havent had a bad meal there. Great wings!

The best service ever

Just had takeout for my daughters dinner and was delicious as always. Thanks, cant wait for my next time! A must-have go to place!!!!

Good food, great service.

Great place

Wont go again! Rude waitress; medium sauce is hot there. Hot sauce will be extremely hot

Crappie service if I was a guy it would of been great service. They service male customers immediately and then women.

Great food

This is my first time visiting in person, but my family often orders take out wings from Lazy Lizard and they absolutely never disappoint. Food is always delicious, and plentiful. Everyone is very friendly there, and service was very fast considering how busy it was! Will definitely be back soon.

Took half hour extra for order and was cold within 15 minutes of getting home to eat. Use to go there often and never a problem

Excellent Friendly servers with a good beer selection

Best darn bar in town. Staff are excellent, wontons are flowing. Good vibes all around!

Great staff, great vibe, great food and very reasonably priced....out scores Jack Astors next door 10 - 1 for sure...

Great atmosphere on the patio the servers were fantastic in the food incredible just loved it

This place is awesome! First time ever trying poutine and it was great.

I recently placed a take-out order from the Lazy Lizard for their broasted chicken. Five of us were having dinner, so I ordered the 12 piece chicken dinner with potato wedges. It came with our choice of dipping sauces and a couple of little tubs of coleslaw. Next time, we ll order some extra coleslaw. Everything was delicious, the chicken and wedges were well seasoned, hot and fresh. Thanks for a yummy take-out option!

Great place to get food, everyone is chill!

Excellent wings and poutine

Rock of 80s is Awesome! Wings were great too!

Great service. Nachos were huge and toppings were in the middle AND on top!

First time eating here. Tvs everywhere. A bar at the center where it appears the regulars sit and drink. We just wanted dinner. We mentioned it was our first time there to the waitress who after taking our order, finished her shift. No welcome, no drink list. The next girl ( looking after us)? didnt do anything but bring our food. No service really...no tip. The food had no flavor. A burger and a burrito that was flavorless. First time, last time.

Boasted chicken was superb and priced right.

Great people, service was fantastic, beer was great

The food, service and beer was terrible !

Went here for take out to take back to our hotel room. We order nachos and onion rings to share. Portions were large and prices were great. Staff were really friendly as well

Great food

The wings are the most amazing i ever had

Good service, and music.

Friendly staff, very clean and good food.

Some or most of the servers are rude .

Awesome place. All the food is done to perfection and taste awesome. Great tasting wings and a very good band playing there. After covid its still the same awesome place, with awesome food and the best waitresses.

Nice atmosphere, great food & service and a very nice outside patio. Parking: A lot of parking available on premises.

good food selection friendly staff

This place and experience was absolutely terrible. Between the rude waitress (there was 3) the over priced and bad food not getting served. The experience sucked. I ll never be back we re spectacle to try new places and this is the example of why. Very very disappointed as we ve heard very good things about this place. I can confirm we ll never be back and I definitely don t recommend coming here. Unless you wanna wait 3 hours for food (she kept forgetting to bring it or ring it up) and be nervous to talk to the waitress because there rude (she wasn t rude after she constantly messed up our food orders) I definitely wouldn t do it. I just can t express how upset we were with the staff and quality of the food.

Best wings ever.

Awesome service, awesome wings , cold beer , best and biggest wings ever had :)

Ordered Fish tacos .l couldnt even eat it sent it back right away. Im sure the fish was going bad. I still had to pay for it never again

Their food is always fresh always homemade you expect bar food because its a bar but if you want great home-cooked food this is the place to go... Their wontons are amazing!.. Ive never had a bad meal

Nice little sports bar. Had wings and onion rings. Food comparable to other pub style. Beer was nice and cold.

Called ahead to make reservations for 14, service was terrible. Food was forgotten/wrong orders came to table/ either cold or burnt , food came at all different times witheveryone earing separately, the 2 kids meals coming last when all meals where finished. I have eaten here many times in the past with Lazy Lizard usually being our first choice. The server seemed bored and not interested in our table, we had to ask for drinks and refills on beverages. The server never made eye contact or talkative interactions... just terrible.. bad on us we still tipped 30 percent.

Loved having drinks on the the patio in November! Sweet potato fries Come with the best chipotle mayo ever! Truly fabulous

I realize it was busy but do better! We sat outside on the patio over 45 minutes with no service. We left and wont be back

Great little spit and sawdust greasy spoon. Service was top drawer and the servers simply wonderful, really welcoming and smiley. The food is standard pub fare, done simply with no airs or graces but really fresh and tasty. Beer choice was great - typical popular beers with a couple of local brews thrown in. All around a really enjoyable stop.

Called in at 9:15 for takeout they said they could have it ready in 20 minutes. Asked for it to be ready for 10:25, arrived 10:25, wasn t ready(don t think they had started on it) told me it would just be a few minutes. Waited around for 25 minutes and still nothing, asked for a refund and left. Don t expect anything punctual or to be able to get any food.

Generous food amounts, tasty with a great variety of options and served hot. Little drafty sitting by the back door...not sure the entry heater was working on this cold day. I didnt get the waitress name, but she was very accommodating.

Great wings

Great place to eat and relax. Best chicken wings in town!

Food gets 5 stars. Service deserves less than 1 star. Stopped by on a Wednesday night, the owner or manager was working non stop behind the bar making drinks and picking up the waitress slack. 2 waitress working with a full house, might as well have been 1 waitress. The blonde was more interested in flirting with guys at the bar than serving her tables.

Outstanding service. A stage for fun live-music too. I typically get the wings, they are massive and come in lots of flavors. Got the chicken tenders this time, and was super excited to find those wing sauces baked into the excellent tenders too!

If you like cold beer then this is the place to go. I would not order food here . Are food took over an hour and burger was overcooked ...2 bites is all I could do. My buddy ordered chicken wings and they were also terrible..not sure whats going on in the kitchen ??

Friendly staff and great pub food.

Arguably some of the best wings Ive ever had! Nice change to have something other than Franks based hot sauces.

Great food great environment!!

Best chicken wings in town hands down!!!!! I personally prefer my sauce on the side. I find it too sauce if not on the side. Food here is by far one of the best spots in st cathrines. Reason for 4 stars is the service. Definitely a lack of attention. Sadly service can take away from the great food

Best breaded wins in Niagara. They also serve the Perfect Jack and Coke.

Great food ,good prices friendly service

Mexican and roadhouse style food. We shared the southwest wontons and I had the chimichanga and was absolutely stuffed. Very loud inside so we sat outside, but the outside speaker was still quite loud.

Loved it here staff are super friendly and the drinks were cheap!

Great food, good pricing and good atmosphere

Love chicken wings

Best wings around!! Great service as well!

Over cooked some food items.

Our favorite place to eat. Everything is great!!

Great prices. Tons of beer choices. Good wings and pizza.

Just a great local pub to meet friends and have fun, there isnt a seat without a view of the current sports game. The staff always keeps your glass full and makes you feel you are welcome.

Great wings, atmosphere and service. My kids really like this place.
