Frontier BBQ and Smokehouse

Wow, I have been in BBQ joints all over and this is a special one. From chef to host at the door all around great! Must enjoy when in Niagara falls

For $44 a person, I was shocked at the amount of food. Only 5 kinds of meat ( dry fried chicken, chicken tenders, sausage, dry brisket and bacon wrapped meat loaf...not exactly a "BBQ" place). No dessert offered in the price. Definitely not worth $44. They also applied a tourist tax and gratuity to our bill, just making assumptions! Didn't even ask. We also had one of our party that had to leave due to illness, and they still charged the full $44, even though they took only half a plate. In summary, totally NOT worth $44 for the poor service, lack of variety and low quality of food.

My husband and I were in town for the weekend and we thought we’d try this place out. We were sooo impressed! Nice atmosphere, the food was the best part though. The brisket was amazing, real mashed potato’s, nice salad bar, Matt the server/manager was super friendly and helpful. We were so happy we checked it out. Highly recommend! 👍

Walked over from our hotel on a whim. What we found was a very happy surprise. The meat was all top notch. The salad bar was simple but covered all our needs, the choice of sides was well rounded. The loaded potato bar was very well planned out and added a level of fun to the buffet experience. Service was excellent. The young man taking care of us treated all customers in his area with kindness and professionalism. My wife and I found the atmosphere comfortable, clean and welcoming. Prices were reasonable compared to many of the other local eateries in the area.

As of Nov 2023, There is no longer an all you can eat buffet. LOTS of confusion as the signs hanging from the ceiling don’t match the current situation. You order a meat and pick a side (mashed/baked potato, Mac n Cheese, fries, etc) and you get unlimited soup or salad bar with most of the main course meals. The soup and salad bar is a bit confusing as some side dishes are available as well (corn, rice, beans, carrots, etc) at the soup and salad bar. Despite the confusion we had a great time. The service was great. The food was delicious. We got ribs, pulled pork sandwich, Mac n cheese, and mashed potatoes. We liked the Mac n Cheese the best. The meats were good too. Fall off the bone ribs. We had an unusual event while we were there. A customer came in and immediately collapsed on the ground, and was vomiting. The staff were great. They tended to the customer with great care, and then moved customers to tables in the back to give some privacy, which was thoughtful.

Brisket was ice cold, Cauliflower was ice cold, Mac n Cheese was OK. The biggest problem I had was the chicken and pork options were not even cooked properly. Fried Chicken, BBQ Chicken, Chicken Wings and Pork Ribs were all pink on the inside. The Buffalo Sliders are literally drenched in Frank's Red Hot Sauce, if you like that sauce then it's for you but I find it too overpowering with vinegar. Waitress was OK, she couldn't recommend any drinks from the menu and read what was in them from the menu. It's a buffet, she doesn't have much to memorize but whatever. Not sure if it's changed owners or management recently because I had people tell me it was amazing but they all visited over a year ago or close to that. Would not recommend anyone go based on my experience.

A great place for the family to come and unwind together. It all starts with the warm reception you get as you enter the restaurant. The staff literally welcome you with a smile and are careful to explain any details you will need to know as they seat you. The interior is decorated perfectly as if you were in a country cottage so you can come dressed as you are and just relax. There is a great selection of meat to order that they will continuously bring out to you without delay. Drinks are NOT BOTTOMLESS here, even for the kids so you will need to be careful about that. The baked potato station is a DREAM! There are literally 20 toppings from to top you potato with ranging from the usual bacon bits, sour cream and chives, to hummus, horseradish and 2 types of cheese! The mashed potatoes were perfectly whipped and the cornbread was delicious! PRO TIP - If you ask the cook he will bring you a ramekin of honey to dip the cornbread. There are items at the buffet for everyone to grab and then of course the meat and the wide variety of sauces are the stars here. PRO TIP 2 - If you are not a resident of Niagara Falls, you will notice an extra 5.99% tax added on your bill as a TOURIST TAX. To have it dropped apparently you need to show ID with an address from the area. No one seems to know where this money goes to either.

Food was okay. The brisket was a bit dry. The smoked chicken wasn’t that great. Didn’t like the corn bread either. Texas style BBQ is meant to be eaten with white slice bread which they didn’t have any of. Mac and cheese was good. The cocktails were good. I enjoyed their dessert though. We had apple crumble and s’mores. Walking distance from our hotel and falls. Good customer service, the staff was very friendly. Good ambiance. Accessible Restrooms are available.
