Coco’s Pizza Bar And Lounge

This is a dinner review… group of 14 and a baby after a long day exploring the falls.
The menu seems to fit all of us taste…5 need to carb load for the race the next day. Too bad the food wasn’t good.
The Rainbow Trout dish that says it is pan fried in a butter sauce. It’s not. It’s just fried… no butter flavor at all. The salmon so dried and over cooked and the cook says that’s how it has to be made. I guess he doesn’t realize that Salmon can actually be eaten raw.
If you think this is a steak house you would be wrong… very wrong. The lamb I had was blah… the best meal was, the PIZZA. So it should be a pizza place.
The martinis were good…
I also must say for 14 people, we had one waitress and NO ONE ELSE helped her, not the clear our table, refill water and check in just to make sure she or we were ok. She was sweating her a** off and did a great job with 14 people.

If only ratings were made from several rated factors. My stars are for our phenomenal server, Janis, who handled our table of 14.5 particular eaters like a champ – alone. The kitchen wasn’t giving her much help. I would feel badly lumping other factors into this really stellar performer.
I ordered the New Zealand rack of lamb, and was later informed there was none. My back up was the prime rib, medium rare, but it was served closer to medium. Fine, no squabbles here. It was not the best prime rib, but it certainly wasn’t the worst. Flavor or au jus would have been helpful. My veggies were okay, very lightly seasoned, and the mashed potatoes were great. Others in our party ordered salmon, which was served dry, and carb-​loading fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, which looked a little old and they said the chicken was super dry. The salmon eaters requested new dishes but the fettuccine eaters, preparing for a race the next day, plowed on. Others ordered the pork chop, half chicken and pizza and said those were good.
Through all of it, Janis was attentive, friendly and helpful. She eased the pain of slow service that seems to come with large parties.
The ambience at Coco’s is truly great. They have a large, outdoor patio space with several areas, including the wood fire oven bar. The indoor dining room was lovely, as was the bathroom.

Burnt food, orders done wrong several times and on the same dishes. Rude waitress and one of the male staff members actually dipped his finger in my plum sauce to check if it was bad or not.
The place looks great, sure, but what good is great décor when you have horrible people who work there.
I’m not a picky person, I’ve worked in a restaurant and it’s kind of the number one rule to make sure your customers have nothing to complain about. If they do, fix it with a smile and make sure what you fix is 100x better then what you gave them before.
My companion shouldn’t be getting mushrooms on his burger when he ask for lettuce, tomato and cheese and then only getting lettuce and tomato the second time around. I’m just saying, this should’ve never been a problem.

Oh. My. God.
This review is long past due, but here goes… We were starving, and this joint was a block away from the hotel, so in we went. We sat outside to people watch. Not the greatest past time at Niagara Falls, but beggars can’t be choosers. I should’ve taken the unhappy looks on everyone’s faces as a bad sign. But, like I said, we were starving. There was a music act with an acoustic guitar and tinny sound system murdering Van Morrison and Loggins & Messina covers, but we weren’t there for the entertainment, so I blocked out the noise pollution. I know, par for the course at a tourist trap like the Falls.
First of all, our waitress had a cold, maybe allergies. It was disconcerting to say the least. My wife ordered something resembling pasta primavera. The pasta was cooked about three days too long. If you had taken pudding on a five-​day trek through the Amazon jungle with record-​breaking high temperatures and attempted to eat said pudding for a nice snack? That describes the consistency of the pasta. And then the vegetables were UNDERcooked, rock hard, retaining the plastic taste of the package from whence they came. It was a wild, confounding combination. Two extremes.
My double-​cut pork chops came with mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, and apple sauce. Or was that from the nightmare I had last night? The meat was so dry and chewy I had tears in my eyes as it tore through my esophagus on its way down to my horrified gut. I had to sip water with every bite. But that wasn’t the worst part. The «double-​cut pork chop» was actually two thin chops slapped together. Not even creatively, with some kind of high-​tech fusion. They were jammed together like a slow child would a grade school art project. I thought I’d seen it all, but Coco’s took it into the stratosphere with this decision. The applesauce was, of course, from a jar. But it could have been Gerber’s. I will never truly know. The steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes were, in fact, ice cold. Seriously. Ice. Cold. Not «we plated it too early and it cooled down», but «just thawed from the freezer, but what the hell, let’s get this food out, we got people to serve». I flagged down the community college dropout waitress (let’s call her Allegra) and she TOUCHED IT WITH HER GERMY FINGERS to see that I wasn’t lying. What the– !!! «You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to… The Outer Limits.» The remainder of our time at Coco’s is a blur. I remember paying. I left Allegra a less-​than-​average tip. I’m not proud of it, but what choice did I have? You don’t fault the waitstaff for the kitchen’s imperfections. But in this case it was a team effort. And that effort got an «F».
I wished I had gone over the Falls in a barrel and forced to scrounge for bottom feeders to eat. Coco’s is a God-​awful torture chamber of never-​ending assaults on mind and body. Bring your stomach pump.

Disappointed. I had read that the za was decent and we had a hankering so we gave it a shot. My wife had the Hawaiian which was pretty good. I tried their «signature» pizza The Coco. It indicated it came with mozzarella and Swiss. Who the hell puts Swiss cheese on pizza so I asked to substitute for provolone. No dice. I tried it anyways which just reaffirmed my thoughts of who the hell puts Swiss cheese on pizza.
Two others in our group had the French onion soup to start. Both confirming what other Unilocalers said «tasteless»
The restaurant itself is cool. Fireplace going and some live music which I always like. All in all we had a good time just weren’t impressed with the grub

I like Coco’s! Sorta… I kind of have a soft spot for it because we stayed at this holiday inn for our anniversary. OK… the pizza is wood-​fired and kind of delicious. Not too expensive all things and canada considered. So we get pizza, hubs got the french dip steak sandwich. It didn’t come with fried but was good, like good hotel restaurant food. Sometimes it looks so empty like it might be closed, so just inquire. It has been the same waitresses for more than a decade. They are sweet. I used to actually like the breakfast skillets. The fries used to always taste like donuts lol. It’s nice and warm in there and cozy and they have a fireplace.
OK this is funny to me. The place is actually kinda fancy! but then with weird cup and saucers like bob evans. The bathrooms are super fancy and the stall doors have frosted glass… except one. It’s just darkened glass! It must have needed to be replaced… but now someone could see the person going to the bathroom LOL. It has been like that for several years. So check that out.
Coco’s! Go try it!

We had breakfast here. I had the low carb omelette and my wife had the best value. In both selections it was exactly what we wanted.
The low carb omelette was a particularly nice option, as it came without potato and bread.
Our waitress was attentive, prompt and friendly.
The prices were quite reasonable too, particularly considering normal Niagara Falls prices.

Come only for the pizza. It’s fresh out of the oven in front of your eyes. We sat and ate outside on the bar chairs right in front of the oven.
Prices are OKAY for s tourist place but the staff was a little rude side.
I would highly recommend this place only for the pizza nothing else.

Came here for a late night snack, great service and great pizza ! It was soooo good I wanted to order a second one but I didn’t want my date to think I was a pig, just one small thing the price for a soda was a little steep an drinks were small. But other then that no real issues, my first eatery in Canada !

I was hesitant to eat here after reading the reviews but I’m glad I did as the meal was delicious. We dined inside and the atmosphere was pleasant. Our waitress was very attentive and humorous. I had the pizza which was extremely delicious and filling!

My boyfriend and I stopped by this place on our way down to see the fireworks over the falls on our first night in Niagara Falls. We sat at this cool outside bar where we could watch the pizzas being made in the oven right in front of us. The drink menu had a lot of interesting choices, I choose the one called Antifreeze. It was super sweet at first but overall was a good drink. We didn’t actually go inside the place but from what we saw it looked pretty awesome. The bartender could have been more attentive and friendly but he was good at making the drinks. Overall a neat place to check out while visiting the area.

I am giving two stars because our server was good and was attentive to our table. The food however left a lot to be desired. The onion soup was tasteless as was the filet burger. The fries were way overdone and drinks that we ordered were poor at best. Truly, the best part of our meal was the bread… The open kitchen with heat lamps and wood fire looks great from outside but it’s all show and no go.
You’ll see by my previous posts that I’m not a very picky person when it comes to food but we dropped $ 85 Canadian in this bland place and I hope you don’t do the same.

Family and I decided to eat at the patio. The patio was really tight to move around, there were a lot of tables and chairs close around. The chairs weren’t that great but tolerable. There was a performer entertaining the patio but he wasn’t that great, but better than nothing.
I noticed that most of the servers looked really out of it, barely saw a smile. Our server seemed pretty tired and monotone but I could tell he knows what he was doing. We were gonna order the pizza but he said the pizza will take longer to bring out because of the overwhelming number of pizza orders, so we ended up getting Calamari, Caesar Salad, Rainbow Trout, and I ordered Coco’s Ribs. While we waited, we were given our drinks and complimentary bread and butter. The bread was absolutely plain, probably the cheapest bread you buy at a grocery store. We got our Calamari and it was kinda decent, it was chewy and the taste didn’t go well after eating a couple more pieces. We got our food and I was completely disappointed, my Coco’s Ribs were basically 3 large pieces of ribs, which were basically all bone and if not bone, it was fat. The seasonal vegetables which were included as a side were only 2 pieces of cauliflower and broccoli. The only good thing about this order was the Baked Potato which was another included side. By far the worst ribs I have ever tried.
In the end, go to the Shoeless Joe across the street. I know I would have if I knew about this result.

Ugh, I wish that I had nicer things to say. My boyfriend and I are in Canada for a weekend and decided to eat here, because it was close to our hotel and thought we’d try something new. I should’ve checked reviews first.
Our waiter was wonderful and polite, but a little slow on service. We ordered nachos as an app, $ 16 later for that, and we were served chips with half melted cheese. I could’ve made something better with Tostito’s and shredded cheese at home.
We both ordered filet mignon (medium) for both of us. (Which came rare at best) after waiting around 25 minutes for the main dish to come, I watched the ‘chef’ fingering the vegetables on everyone’s plates going out. Never wore gloves, never washed his hands. I wish we had just walked out honestly.
I would never go back and wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Drinks were weak and very sweet as well. Very disappointed all around. We paid $ 130 for a meal I wouldn’t pay $ 50 for.

Great breakfast buffet for the price and location. The buffet has scrabbled eggs sausage bacon potatoes and assorted fruit. Cereals and breads are available as well
Our waitress couldn’t be any more friendly and gave excellent service. She left us with our own carafe of coffee
The whole meal for two was $ 20.78 with the taxes. TIP: pick up $ 2 coupons per person outside hanging on the railing before you come in for a savings
Not sure how the Pizza and steak are for dinner but they have an outdoor patio and live music

It is long weekend and very busy all over niagara. We were told by the Brazilian steak house that we would have to wait 1 hour for our table. So as we waited we noticed the bar was packed. We came here, no line up, great quick service, we had 2 martinis in us in 15 minutes. 5 stars!!!

I was skeptical, but we were staying at the Holiday Inn and didn’t feel like wondering around for breakfast the first morning, so decided to give it a shot. First, we did NOT have the breakfast bar! I’m always a bit leery of buffets anyway so we ordered from the menu. My egg dish (can’t recall what it was exactly) was pretty good and no more expensive than the bar. My wife enjoyed her pancakes as well. Service was very good, prices reasonable for the area, so really nothing to complain about. MUCH better than the IHOP we went to the next day, that is for sure!

Overpriced. Nasty. Frozen food.
We stopped here after a comedy show, because the patio looked desirable on a warm, summer night.
We sat ourselves at one of the outdoor bar areas, directly in front of the brick oven. We ordered a drink, as we watched the cook take pizzas out of the oven. To our dismay, they looked more measly and inedible than a Digorno. Upon glancing at the menu, we were even more shocked by the $ 17 – 20 price tag, PER PIZZA. They were tiny!!!
We decided we would eat elsewhere, but ordered the cheapest thing on the menu, the garlic bread, so we could munch on something while we finished our drinks.
The «garlic bread» was a small roll, cut in half with a sprinkle of cheese on top. Not to mention it was stale. How does one F*CK up garlic bread?! $ 8 garlic bread, for that matter!
One beer, one water (free), and one stale piece of garlic bread with tax and tip cost us $ 19. What a joke.
DO NOT GO HERE!

On my first night in Niagara Falls, after driving about seven hours, I was exhausted and hungry. We didn’t want to walk too far from the hotel, nor did we want to go to Margaritaville, Macaroni Grill, Applebees, or IHOP — because, yes, apparently this town is actually Chain Falls.
While debating whether to go to Coco’s or Brasa Steakhouse, a couple of men who said they were from Niagara told us that they go to Coco’s all the time and highly recommended it. Worn out, I made the mistake of not consulting my Unilocal app. If I had, I never would have walked in. The other reviews don’t lie one bit.
My frozen raspberry margarita most certainly had no liquor in it. I don’t care what the bartender claims. It was mix and that is it. I’ve had my share of margaritas, and for the first time in my life, I left half of the drink behind. I find it frustrating that they would simply tell me that I was wrong when I said that there was nothing in it.
For food, I ordered the $ 14 chicken caesar salad because the menu prices for entrees were insane. So let me give you the rundown on this salad. The chicken tasted like that pre-​cooked bag stuff you can get at the grocery store. The lettuce was fine. They included bland cheese and boring bacon bits. They doused in it in a creamy caesar dressing that tasted exactly like Red Lobster’s. I ate it anyway since I was hungry.
My dining companion ordered the spring salad, which sounded like it would be fresh and sweet from the menu, but she hated it – stating that it was bitter. She left about 90% of the dish behind. The server offered a «sorry» to her when she said she didn’t like it. No manager. No comp. Beautiful. Later in the evening she had to buy a snack.
The restaurant is part of the Holiday Inn, and I guess the place gets off operating the way it does based on its prime location and the fact that it feeds off unsuspecting tourists like us. They don’t need to offer us anything of quality. They’ll have a new me there tonight — tired, hungry and looking for a stomach fill.
Final note: This is the first time in my nearly 400 reviews that I am ever giving a restaurant a one star rating. But they deserve it.

this review is only for the bar area. We weren’t hungry just stopped in for a drink. The car area is decent sided with two TVs on each wall fixing one a good viewing angle from anywhere. beer selection was decent and prices wee average. Barkeep was quick and kept the refills coming.
we stayed for a while and weren’t rushed out at all. overall a good experience.
I would come back. maybe even order food this time.
