Flying Saucer Drive-In

It's not every day that you get to eat breakfast in a FLYING SAUCER.
My husband and I popped in for a quick breakfast over the weekend, and were thoroughly pleased with our experience. Granted, we were mostly excited about the flying saucer part, with the cheap breakfast special as a close second.
I had the breakfast special WITH meat - two eggs, toast, excellent home fries, and bacon or sausage - for about $4 - and my husband had some sort of breakfast sandwich. We agreed that my breakfast was the better deal, and that the home fries were the highlight. Well, apart from the flying saucer kitsch, of course. Our server was nice but harried. We were in and out in about half an hour.
The Flying Saucer provided basically exactly what we expected: a fantastically kitschy diner breakfast.

I live here in the falls
I can't believe this place is getting great reviews.
it's heinous.
the food, the service, the cleanliness--it's all awful.
late at night and 3/4 of the customers most likely have warrants out for their arrests..
I guess that's not the saucers fault but it certainly doesn't do anything to make it less skeevy..
tourists---stay away.
want decent affordable food nearby?
head down to that chip n charlies place--it's ok--fish and chips are real good
can you be sued for this crap?
sometimes the truth must be told

Absolutely the best breakfast I ever had in my life. We were on our way home from Lake Temagami and we decided to stop off in the falls, we asked some locals where is a good place for breakfast, one old man mentioned the flying saucer. We finally found it and it looked really cool. I was shocked on how cheap the menu was, I mean come on, 3 eggs with home fries with tons of toast and all you can drink coffee for 4.00. Their was 3 of us and when our food came, 4 waiters carried our food out, I thought it was somekind of a mistake but it wasnt!! My plate was staked about 5 inches high with food, I was very impressed. The seating was really good, not cramed up next to other people, the service was really good and I would go there again in a heartbeat.

I give this 5 stars not particularly for the food, which is just fine, but for the atmosphere. They don't cram all of the tables together to make for more seating in this fabulously eccentric eating space. Rather they place the tables where they *should* be in a Flying Saucer. The colored lights are fun and I found myself grinning despite my early-morning grogginess. The place woke me up even before the coffee arrived.
Food? Well, we had breakfast and it was a good breakfast. The portion sizes are absurd. We just skipped lunch and didn't eat again until the evening.
Given the number of chain restaurants in this town, it was great to find a good local destination that had something unique to offer.

A place that the locals only know about.
The food was EXCELLENT! Exactly what we needed to start our wine tour on a good note.
For about $7 per persons you get a Hefty meal! I had the ET special and could not finish it.
It included homefries, toast (of choice), 3 eggs, sausage, pancakes.
Also, the "regular" orange juice is considered an XL in nyc!! I was in love.
I am so glad we did not go to the tourist restaurant. I asked a local and she recommended this... AWESOME.

I lovvveee this place! It's your typical cheap diner with crazy big portions. They also serve beer. They are open early in the morning and close at 2am during the week, 3am on the weekends. For all the americans, try the meat sauce with your fries. It's not bad.
I wish I ate here during my vacation. I would've saved a lot of money and the food here is wicked good. It's also close by to the bars and strip clubs.

I thought it would be fun eating in a flying saucer. The seating inside is basically around a round area. The inside of the flying saucer doesn't look very much like a flying saucer. It is actually rather cramped.
When I got there, there was a short line and we had to hold the door and wait at the entrance as there was not enuough space to wait inside. They do take reservations if you have a group.
The breakfast specials is cheap. For $2.99, you get 2 eggs, toast, homestyle fries (bitesize) and bacon strips. Coffee / tea comes in a carafe. Menu items are regular priced, not exceptionally cheap.
Tastes ok, nothing special in my opinion. In addition to the circular seating area, there was an area (very tight and cramp) where I sat. It felt like I was in a really small asian eatery.

For our trip to Niagara Falls, we wanted to make a point to visit the local establishments instead of national or international chains of restaurants.
So when the urge to have good brunch hit my wife and I, we turned to Yelp for help. Again, Yelp didn't have many restaurants that were rated in the "breakfast" category.
Being a sci-fi fan, though, one restaurant jumped out: Flying Saucer Drive-In. So the plan was set, and we headed for the restaurant.
The diner is set in a round-shaped building that looked like a saucer, while the interior is decorated with lights in different colors. We picked up the ET Special with a side order of the English Muffin. The food was good. The place was filled. The staff were friendly. The prices were pretty cheap.
When you add everything up, the value was exceptional. We would recommend anyone to this place.

Made a stop at the UFO for breakfast on our way up to Toronto from Buffalo. The seating is one of a kind! The colors and mirrors add a fun element you come to expect from "The Falls". Although the place was packed (9am on a Monday) the service was very prompt. I went with the chocolate chip pancakes while the others went with the daily special. My pancakes were both HUGE and packed with chips! The only thing that would have put these over the top would be real maple syrup. They serve them with packs of the fake stuff, but maybe I am just spoiled always having the real stuff from NY. All and all our party of five was stuffed for about $42 (Canadian) total with a solid tip. I don't get up to this part often, but will make it a point to stop by next time I'm in town!
