First we picked a gorgeous day for our drive to Lewiston . The Silo is very cool with its history. The staff was super friendly too! We both the haystack sandwiches since they are an original to the Silo. They were very tasty. I got the "stack" on the side. My husband said next time he would do the same as his got soggy( of course I gave him most of mine$ . Happy that they are dog friendly for friendly dogs-I will bring my two white it isn't so hot for them. The ice cream car serves Perrys ice cream -warning the medium is HUGE
The Silo's famous Hay Stack is wonderful. The "standard" version is definitely shareable as it is quite filling. There is also a footlong version, that sounds shareable for sure. Seasoned rib eye steak and melted mozzarella on a nice roll. Topped with potato sticks (even though the menu says hash browns). Worth a trip to Lewiston. The view over the Niagara river is also gorgeous.
The Haystack is still delicious, and sharable! We shared the regular sized one. It is "addictive" enough that I could have eaten the whole Haystack myself, but so big that's it's not wise to do so. The meat is nicely seasoned and mixed with cheese, topped with potato sticks and served on a hot dog roll.
Absolutely loved this place! Parking was very convenient! Love the wrap around seating on the deck overlooking the river. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating. I really enjoyed the Austin burger and the fries. Also the quality of food was very good!
After going to the whirlpool jet tour, my husband & I went to the closest restaurant that looked like it had decent vegetarian options. We were pleasantly surprised at how awesome the haystacks sandwiches tasted. Just letting you know it is not actually hash brown they use it's potato sticks. Potato sticks gives a good crunch. The ice cream booth in front was also amazing & had great flavors (Perry's Ice cream). We had the Buffalo Tornado blended ice cream which was a new item that was unique with fun mix-ins. This place has a great view with balcony seating over looking the river. Bathrooms could use some help. Overall great experience & a good stop when you visit Niagara Falls not far from the shuttle stop.
How do you celebrate America? With some good old American cuisine. We were greeted quickly by the staff and our order was placed quickly, the wait was quite short too which was a plus. The view of the river, and the boats coming in and out, might be part of the price but it's ok with me. We got A basket of chicken fingers and fries, both perfectly cooked to a crispy finish as were the onion rings. With a burger patty that thin, there's really only one choice , well done. I don't think there was in-between. I know well will be back, next time though we will make sure to get dessert too.
Ordered, got our buzzer and our 3 sandwiches, hot dog, and fries were ready very quickly. My chicken sandwich was very good. Chicken was perfectly cooked and large. The burgers were also cooked just right. As was the hot dog. Regular fries were really enough for 3 people!! For what it is, the Silo met my expectations. The only ding was that the men's room had a bunch of cob webs at eye level. That's an easy fix but it just made the men's room feel not as clean as it could feel.
4/5 for this cute little hot dog stand in Lewiston. Ambiance: it's a nice place to grab a bite to eat. I love that it's right on the water and every seat has a good view! Service: all staff members were very nice. It was our first time here and we asked some questions and the cashier was very nice. The cooks were also very friendly. Food was a solid 4/5. I didn't love the chili dog, but the famous hay stack sandwich was flavorful and delicious! I also really liked the half fries/half onion ring combo. Cheese sauce is good as well! Overall I would come back. They also serve ice cream if you want desserts.
