This week I decided to try my luck in Niagara Falls at the FlyingSaucer. I had heard a lot about the Flying Saucer in my brief time working for
Niagara Casinos. Many of my co-workers stated that it was a great place to go
after working a midnight shift as the breakfast was quite large. To test this,
I attended with my classmates Ethan and Haley. The restaurant was packed and we
were extremely lucky to find a table and parking. I decided to order the steak and egg special for $11.99. This consisted of a large piece of steak as well as three
eggs, home fries and toast.

I ordered the steak medium rare, however this was
not the condition that it arrived in. All in all, the breakfast was good, but the
slow service was quite cumbersome. As you would expect, there were alien
decorations on the inside, but there could have been more to really give the
place an ‘out of this world’ feel.

The portions were generous and I enjoyed my
visit, but the real issue with the Flying Saucer is that it is not excellent in
a particular area. The decorations are average. The food is ok, and the prices
are slightly inflated. For this reason, I will give the restaurant a reluctant
three bacon strip rating. I feel that were I to have tried this place at the
start it may have scored higher, however, having seen the true greatness that
the other breakfast places in the region can produce, I would not be in a rush
to go back.
Highlight: Having breakfast with some great friends
Honourable Mention: They sell postcards
Bacon Strip Rating: A reluctant three strips
