I spent all day trying to find a restaurant that sell chicken francais here in Niagara Falls,NY After working in an Italian restaurant for 17 years As a general manager, I’ve been craving this meal. When I googled it, this restaurant came up so I called and had my order delivered. It was so disappointing. I don’t know what this was that they gave me, but it definitely wasn’t chicken français. Chicken française is a meal where the chicken is lightly fried with egg batter and has lemon Buttersauce what I got was chicken breast with ham on top of it spinach and ricotta cheese and I don’t know what type of sauce, but it wasn’t lemon butter. It’s oil. The good thing that I got out of a meal was my salad. The balsamic vinegar is an amazing dressing that they have. I also ordered deep fried mushrooms, which were also very good. I was also very disappointed with the garlic bread that I ordered because for some reason, it has cheese on it while I would order the mushrooms from this place again and the salad absolutely I will never ever order this meal again. It was so disappointing. I didn’t even get to eat it. After not hearing back from the restaurant, I called the restaurant and asked to speak to a manager. A man named Nick got on the phone with me and explained that they had taken chicken francais off their menu and that what was delivered to me was actually a chicken Florentine so to make it right he offered to replace my dinner and I accepted. He suggested I try their chicken Alfredo with chicken cutlet because I’m looking for an authentic Italian dinner. I had it delivered days later and it is amazing again. The salad is amazing. The chicken Alfredo with chicken cutlet is so amazing and I got the garlic bread without the cheese on it and it was exactly what I was looking for I will come back to this restaurant for sure and you should give it a try..
Pizza pies with thick, chewy crusts that can hold ALL your toppings without collapsing and taste delicious with a good balance of seasonings. You do have to pay extra for a thicker crust, but it is worth the cost!!! The pizza boxes have waxed liners so you don’t get that nasty cardboard taste. Staff are very fast and yet still (somehow) friendly. Prices are fair and the food is filling and generous. Lunchtime is crazy busy.
I Doordash here sometimes and rarely get a slice to go. Today I got a slice of (1/2&1/2) their Duo!! 1 side of the square Sicilian (thick crust) slice while the other was Chicken Bacon Ranch!! Thrown in the pizza oven for 2 minutes to warm it up and I was rolling down the street with my Doordash delivery! Broccoli and Cheese is my favorite pizza!
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
