Brown Bear Diner

Me and my girlfriend stopped here before heading back home from our trip to Niagra. The diner was closed due to reduced hours but the owner and waitress were there and they gladly welcomed us in! That is the true definition of hospitality. Andrea makes the best breakfast (pancakes especially) and the Chambers (great conversations) were excellent. It was one of the most unexpected and best eating experiences that I have had in a while. They even offered to go coffees knowing about our long trip back home. I HIGHLY recommend.

I haven’t been so pleasantly impressed in a place as I am in the Brown Bear Diner in a very long time. I would be nuts to spend my money on breakfast anywhere else on niagara falls blvd or the local area if it was even slightly possible to go here to this diner in Lesalle. The food was fantastic, I got French toast and for just a bit over $5 I wouldn’t expect much but it was loaded with fruit and berries, whipped cream and there was a lot of it!! I’d spend almost half again as much anywhere else, even fast food places, for food that wasn’t even close to this quality. Even the presentation of it on the plate was pleasing. It wasn’t just slapped onto a plate but arranged with thought to appearance. I’ve lived nearby for a long time, and I have no idea why I did not try this sooner. I wish I had. Ya know when you find a place that’s good enough to tell your friends and family about because you want them to also have a good experience that your sorta sharing with them by telling them? That’s what I’m gonna do here. The waitress (her name was Savannah I believe) also was very helpful and did her job perfectly, not overbearing or neglectful, but just right and radiated positive happy energy. I’m Definitely going back again. I almost never write reviews on anything but this was such a good experience that I have. I wish I’d find more places this nice.

Very very good food, had a couple good sized booths and a big enough table for mothers day brunch for my family of 6. Prices are very good and the location of this hideaway is perfect for those traveling with easy access to the thruway,border,Niagara Falls, and Buffalo. Not to mention, it's right on the water which has a nice walkway to burn off the stuffing you get from the food! Highly recommend this place to locals and travelers!

Great food! Great owner! Great waitress! Great cook!The pancakes were thick and fluffy. The eggs were cooked great. The potatoes were cooked great. And the sausage was juicy and tasted delicious! The owner is a women who take Sher business very seriously! Very good diner. I recommend everyone tries it.

Very very disappointed ! STAY AWAY First off at Arrival there were people outside taking pictures next to the Brown Bear wall which made my party of 3 think this place was remarkable ! As we walked inside , stomachs ready for a great serving and delightful service...there were only 3 tables occupied in the whole place. We were greeted right away . As we walked cheerfully to our table that was unclean , the server rushed over to half wipe it down . Menus were not given and were placed in a dirty bin. We ordered drinks first they do not serve unsweetened tea and the tea they do serve is NOT great at all. Dirty cups and there were hairs floating in my water. Water came from tap and was not chilled with ice! Trying our best to overlook the mishap my party of 3 continued our journey on finding good eats. Ordering steak&eggs . THEY DID NOT HAVE. Only a cold and brutally burnt steak-um omelette. Ordered a pancake combo . FORGOT the pancakes this resulting in having to charge less off the bill. I walked out after the hair was in my water ! Portions were child size as if they were scraping the barrel and had scraps to give us. I guess the BROWN BEAR ate it. We still paid for our food but everything was horrible . Service , food , cleanliness , sense of urgency etc . PLEASE PASS THIS PLACE UP . Going to this place makes just about as much sense as going to a junkyard asking for a new car . HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE . P.s. I hope you like animals prowling around as there was cat in the back near the kitchen .

We went for breakfast and the food was great. Service was very friendly and moderately fast. I am not a pancake person but decided to order them anyways and they were the best pancakes I've had in a while. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the pop was flat. Otherwise would definitely recommend.

We we're in town a few weeks before their summer season really gets going. We we're met by a sweet lady who both took our order and cooked. We we're the only customers there at the time so very quick service. Portions sizes we're good and food was delicious. I'd recommend stopping by for breakfast if you're in the area.
