    Tourist trap that we ended up only because we couldn't find a reservation anywhere else. In retrospect we should have just eaten at the casino. The waitress was nice but the service level overall was slow. The food wasn't great. I've had nicer ambience in a hospital. Don't waste your time and money. Poor value. Will never return.

    Matt is a great Staff Member and served us with friendliness and care. Jeff is a superb Chef; the smoked assorted meats he prepares are so tasty. We are local residents and we absolutely love Frontier BBQ.

    Easily seated with ample tables available. A nice variety of foods and all kept warm and full to meet guests appetite. Prices are inline with buffet prices and customers should go with an appetite. Customer service was spectacular for our dining experience. I hope our server is rewarded well. Definitely will stop our next trip to Niagara Falls!

    The price doesn't worth the food, 60 CAD for each adult for regular BBQ ?

    We left Frontier BBQ with a very positive experience from the minute we arrived until we left. We went to celebrate New Years Eve. The service was top notch as well as the food. The selection of food was really good and wouldn't hesitate to tell people to go there. We even received a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate the occasion. All servers were very friendly right down to the guys carving the Prime Rib and Beef Brisket as well as the duo they had providing the music for us that evening.
