Richard Bisson

Chris Baird

Amazing grilled cheese. Super friendly owner.

Ashlyn

The best gourmet grilled cheese I have ever had! They always have such neat specials. Too tempting not to go. My family and I have taken the drive out 30 minutes just for this place on multiple occasions. You must try the Mac and cheese grilled cheese, and any of their delicious milkshakes! You will not be sorry. The staff is super nice as well, especially the guy who works the cash (I do believe he is the owner!). Super funny, and checks in to make sure everyone is enjoying the food. We will definitely be back again in the future!

Shannon Gallant

So impressed by this place! My boyfriend and I ordered a few different items to share, including a milkshake and when it was brought out to us, he had actually separated it into 2 meals...including the milkshake! Excellent customer service with incredible food!

Carlin Barwell

Great love it

Maria Dolores

Delicious decadent menu. Comfort food at its best. And they are super nice too.

Daniel Ricci

Great food friendly service. It was a 3 out of 5 stars before but it must have been a technical issue. Sorry big Pappi and thanks for commenting on this or else I wouldn't have known a 3 out of 5 star was given.

Adam Upson

This place is AMAZING. Definitely a hidden gem in crystal beach. I've been twice had a foot long chili dog on fresh bread. And the meat lover grilled cheese. Both were so good. They also have great milkshakes make sure you get one of those. If you haven't been here stop reading this and go right now, you can thank me while you're writing your own great review. Can't wait to see what 3rd time brings!!!

Food was delicious even tho they were out of bacon lol

I would have given this Place a Zero rating but it doesn't have one and the owner knows why it seems I'm not the only one that has a complaint most don't say why because if you say too much your review just disappears.

Dan Terreberry

Simply the food was great and the owner was awesome

Rick Adams

Busy little hot dog/ grilled cheese joint. Unique with tastey food. Well worth a try but it's not cheap. I don't remember the name of the hotdog I had but it was the one at the very bottom of the list.

Brandon Gordon

Best food out there! This place is amazing, great service even better food 10/10 would recommend

Brandon Gray

Went here on Sunday with my wife. Absolutely an awesome adventure during lockdown. Food was absolutely great, hot and really tasty. Not kidding when he says foot long hot dog. Amazing marketing and the inside is awesome. Definately will be back!

Todd Smeed

We enjoyed a Dirty Sanchez and a Porky Pig, with two milkshakes. Big Papi's reminds me of what beachside dining should be. Great food, great service, I would recommend it highly if you're in the area... Though we made the trek from St Catharines.

T Bremner

Omg... All I can say is you've got to eat here!

Dragon Master02

Justin E

Wow, the food and shakes were delicious. The customer service showed how attentive to detail and excellent quality. 10/10 will return!

Patricia Shedden

Awesome place. Great service, great food!!

Andrew Stirling

LOVE IT! Food was excellent, Big Pappi was an awesome guy. Had the Jackpot and Buffalo chicken sandwiches, and the homemade mac and cheese all excellent. The orange cream and skor milkshakes where fantastic aswell. Bread was homemade also. Not a single complaint about the place.

R C

I had the 'Jackpop' grilled cheese sandwich. The composition of ingredients is simply genius. I'll definitely be coming back, to try every single sandwich. FYI, my photo doesn't do justice for the size and taste. I'd say it's double the size of a regular grilled cheese.

Chris Burns

Loved every second of it. Hot digity dog.

Phil Anderson

Was workin in the area so had to stop in to see Shane the owner and order some lunch . Needless to say this continued on everyday for a few days lol . (Buffalo chicken was my favourite). Very impressed with every grilled cheese i tried on the menu, and also the hotdogs were amazing . Its a must try if you havent yet and make sure you arrive hungry!

Todd Anderson

Excellent food. Very tasty. I’d eat here every day if I could.

Zvonimir

Went here yesterday to pick up 6 milkshakes and a chilli dog. It was the best milkshake I have ever had the rest of my family agrees. The chilli dog was awesome it was a great size. The hotdog was grilled to perfection and the toppings were delicious. The owner is such a nice man and has a great personality. Customer service was great and I am definitely coming back!

Derek Stonier

We came across this place while out for the day. The owner was very friendly, and personable. Once the food arrived we were amazed at the portion sizes and the quality. The Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese was amazing. This place is now added to our list of must stop for lunch. We will definitely be back again.

Rawan

Absolutely amazing. Such a great addition to Crystal Beach. The aesthetic is so fun, the owner is super nice, funny and friendly. The portions are really good and the food is fresh and tasty. I love the added milkshakes! We ordered the Buffalo Bad Boy and Miss Piggy. I’d definitely just do the Miss Piggy, it had way more flavor than the Buffalo in my opinion so that’s going to be my go to but I’d love to try more of their menu items like their hot dogs too next time! Definitely bringing my friends and family to check this out, experience was so great and positive overall.

Jenny Cohoe

Great food amazing service you have to try there Food

Marco Magalhaes

Great food, nice vibes. Highly recommended

Sean Semple

Very strong first impression from a staff that cares about their business. Followed up with reasonably quick, well made and filling food that makes one wish they could go back for more. I look forward to going back

Mukesh Briah

Definitely a must try! You wont regret it. Amazing food and shakes. Plus customer service is top notch as well! Worth the walk over from the beach. Made my day!

Marius Stan

I ordered the "Miss Piggy" grilled cheese with pulled pork and a side of mac and cheese. The sandwich was delicious and the portions were quite large. The owner was also very friendly; he brought our food out and even came to check how we were doing. Will definitely visit again when we're back in Crystal Beach!

Ellie Lombardi (ivy)

They're not joking about their big portions! Went today with family and everything was SO GOOD--we all agreed it was somewhere we want to come back to. if you're a fan of cheese (who isn't??), I highly recommend their jalopeno popper wrap. We were able to see the restaurant while we were eating and you could tell how popular it is! Definitely a place you gotta try

Wendy Thompson

Excellent costumer service and food!

Greg

I ate here with my wife and kids. I had the pulled pork sandwich. It was literally the best food I’ve ever eaten. Shane, was extremely friendly and was an amazing host. He made sure we had everything we needed and we truly enjoyed the experience. The kids raved about their hot dogs and grilled cheese as well and the milk shakes were top notch. I could eat here every day.

Justin Zamora

Amazing little gem in crystal beach. Big pappi knows how to feed you with some mouthwatering flavours! His restaurant is super kid friendly and not to mention his place is very covid conscientious. This man know how to cook!

Rob Shaw

Literally bought the cottage next door so I can consume more of these grilled cheeses! Milkshakes are off the handle and Dawgs are looooaded with toppings!

Scott Winger

Hands down best milkshakes in Niagara. With a fantastic owner and delicious food! Definitely the best place to stop for a delicious and unique bite to eat while on the go in the beach.

Went by for a bite to eat after the beach. We split the feature Beef on Weck grilled cheese sandwich with a side of Mac & Cheese ... absolutely delicious and generous portion size. Friendly and fun atmosphere with good prices. Will be back for sure. Highly recommend

Corey Canham

Good sandwiches and milkshakes. Decent prices. Lots of personality.

Jessica Nolan

Big Pappi was so friendly, and luckily convinced us all to get milkshakes. It was possibly the best milkshake I have ever had. The brie and apple grilled cheese was amazing, even leftover the next day.

Jeremy Brown

Always a great experience! Great food, great service!

New Rap Lyrics

Probably the best hotdog I’ve ever had I literally went back the next day and got a grilled cheese too, the vibe is great the scenery is cool and the owner seems like a super nice guy. Great area great food and service with a smile? You can’t beat that. NOT TO MENTION THE APPLE MILKSHAKE IS ABSOLUTE GENIUS

T Bennett

Great grilled cheese was good price is reasonable Service fantastic Foot long hot dog bun wasnt fresh ends were hard still ok Mac n cheese they did a meat lovers didn't care for type of cheese used. Overall acceptable food great service

James Winney

My wife and I just came from having the worst hotdog experience ever. They tasted like they were boiled. There were no grill marks on them. When we asked for toasted buns the owner seemed very surprised that anyone would want such a delicious sub bun toasted. When we unwrapped them they were not toasted. When the bill came it was $32 for two hotdogs a drink and a side dish we were surprised. He told us that the pricing on the board is not for foot longs, it’s for regular size dogs. Even though he knew we wanted foot-longs from the get go. Now if we wanted a hotdog that taste like Costco hotdogs we could’ve went there. We are so disappointed.

Kate

Hands down my favorite grilled cheese! Everything I've had has been fantastic. I also love the shakes and taters. Customer service is fantastic. I love trying the new specials each time i go. I will be coming here for a long time.

Benito Chiaravalloti

Amazing! Food is phenomenal and Big Pappi is so friendly and entertaining! I will go out far out of my way to eat here again!

seanmcc45

Great guy, even better food! Huge portions, incredible choice...definitely not your average hotdog! Try the wing sauce dog... you won't regret it.

Chris Martin

Awesome Food!!! Great Service!!! We saw the sign on the main street of Crystal Beach and decided to give it a try... we are so glad we did. We loved the food... I had the Miss Piggy, with a side of Chill and a Chocolate Milkshake and absolutely loved it. The owner was great and very helpful as we were first timers. We will definitely be back when we are in the area again

Andreas Biedenbach

A place of cheesy goodness. We got a good, detailed explanation of the menu. Grilled cheese as well as Mac and Cheese lovers will be happy here. We liked our choices, i.e. grilled cheese with pulled pork or the grilled cheese with pear, brie and bacon.

Rick Mercier

Great place to try different foods..very large menu..

Sam L

Soooo goood i tried almost every grilled cheese and they never disapoint... The hot dogs are delicious to.... A nice place witha. Great vibe and a wicked menu!!! The workers are always friendly

Stan Drobnich

Had our first order last night and we were very impressed. For a side, we ordered clam chowder and OMG, it was great. Tasted totally homemade and it was loaded with clams and cooked perfectly. My SO had a Buffalo Bad Boy. Big Pappi kept telling us how to reheat leftovers and we were looking at him wondering why he was focused on giving that advice. After all it was just a sandwich. Well, we soon discovered the sandwich was huge and indeed there was enough for lunch today. It was absolutely delicious and sinfully rich. I had the McCanaughey (foot long). The flavour was excellent and even the bun was superb. No left overs for me. We certainly will be going back and I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking out fresh, quality, tasty, fast food. btw, the Easter themed milkshake was also a big hit!!

Haris

You can tell this family-operated restaurant cares about the customer. Great restaurant ambiance and more importantly, great food for everyone.

Teresa J

What a great find. Delicious food, yummy milkshakes. Loved it!

Mercedes Weber Lawson

I stopped here with my family for lunch on our way to Sherkston and it was such a hit! What a cool little spot to grab a quick bite. Awesome vibes, great food and the owner was top notch. I would definitely recommend stopping by this hidden gem. You won't be disappointed!

Jennifer Barnes

Excellent food. Gourmet grilled cheese and hot dogs.

Alex Pante

Ate here all summer long, legit the best customer service, and presentation(only eaten in). Awesome taste and options. I throughly enjoyed everything I’ve gotten. Friends and family also enjoyed. Looking forward to getting more food!

Marta Banner

I ordered, 1 grill cheese and 1 hotdog. I was told 20 min wait, i stood outside waiting in the heat for 40 mins. It was rather busy, thats fine, but please tell your customers the proper wait time prior so we have an option to go elsewhere or go somewhere to cool down and come back.

Stephanie Rutherford

Super good food and biodegradable forks!!! Did you read that correctly?! Biodegradable freaking forks! Amazing! Definitely worth the trip to Crystal Beach!

Erik Thorup

5 stars are not enough. Great Turkey club grilled cheese and very nice chili side. Very reasonable price aswell.

Tracy B

Amazing food, great service, huge portions. I had the Buffalo Sango and it was so good! I already can't wait to go back!
