Wide Water Grill is back—and better than ever! Under new management and now teaming up with Robert Grose and Urban Rural BBQ, Wide Water Grill is serving up a winning combo of classic grill favorites and real, slow-smoked BBQ that Lockport has been craving. You can taste the passion and quality in every bite—from the juicy brisket to the smoked wings and all the BBQ sides you'd expect done right. Whether you're a regular or it's your first visit, the refreshed vibe and upgraded menu make this a must-visit spot in Lockport. Traditional grill food authentic BBQ win-win for the whole community. Don’t sleep on this one—support local and get yourself a plate!

I absolutely love this place! What a cool family owner canal side restaurant and venue! I like that they are currently building and old school arcade room in the back room and then I found out they do car shows and other events all while serving absolutely amazing local food and ice cream! This place is run by a family and it shows! Their employees were far more professional and positive than your typical McDonald run of the mill and on top of that they took pride in the community they serve and are located in! This place is truly a hidden gem and you best believe I’ll be back to try the new arcade, see some events and eat more of these sausage links (also locally sourced by the way)! I’m excited to bring my wife and son here!

Beautiful location on the canal. We were looking for a place to enjoy some casual dining in an outdoor setting and Wide Waters came to mind. Great red hots and coney Island dogs with fantastic curly fries. To top it off, the milkshakes ( they make any flavor that thy can with their large ice cream selection) were heavenly! All that for under 20 bucks, too! I think they will see me a few more times this summer!

Pretty cool drive in or eat in diner. They have games outside for anyone with a cool docking station you can pull right up to and dock while you eat for free. Went here after our canal trip from Niagara River to Middleport. Awesome Big Wide double like the Mac... pizza was 5 with everything being priced right with great portions.

I wish I lived closer or I'd be there all the time. Ok probably best I don't. The fries are amazing, the BLT with the Marvin sauce , Nuggets and cheese burger! Amazing and they were so nice. The ice cream was delicious. And I know all ice cream is good, no, they had cider mill ice cream too and it was delicious! And to top it off we sat outside at a picnic table and the kids played on horse swings and a slide having the time of their life. There is indoor seating too but it wasn't for us
