We have been to the Alabama hotel 3 times so far. We had the prime rib, the fish fry, the roast beef and the chicken Parm. Everything we had was really good. I especially like the mashed potatoes that come in a cup with hot gravy over them . The salad bar is clean, well stocked and the fresh warm bread is yum. The bar area is nice and everyone was very friendly. They made us feel right at home. We are looking forward to going back again.

Good food, more expensive but everything is now. We eat here with our extended family when everybody is in town (10 people). We told them that after dinner, we were going to see a family member in a show in Lockport. They were sensitive to our need to eat and go, and everything worked out great. The bread/salad bar is decent, got a bit sparse at one point but they got more bread/butter out fast. Long wooden tables, charming. Clean, bright, but also lots of dark wood trim left over from days gone by. There's an adjoining bar, but the atmosphere is very family-friendly. Hope they stay great!

The Alabama Hotel was an awesome surprise. I thought it would be a sketchy dive bar but it was a great sit down restaurant with fresh seafood and better prime rib than the red osier! The prime rib special for two on Thursdays is an amazing deal at $44 for two giant cuts of prime rib and a side. The salt potatoes were good too. I wasn't aware they get their seafood flown in fresh but I saw on facebook that they do. Great service, great prices. The salad bar thing is a little weird though and feels like pizza hut--unnecessary.

When there's lot of cars in the parking lot, you know there's a good restaurant. This.place appears to be a neat local area legend. Recommended. Not the kind of place you need to put on a suit and dress but nice for the area. Range of very good dinner entrees to pub food. Had a very good pan-fried haddock entree. Old school very good salad bar - great options and well done. Friendly staff that know all the locals.

The place is always packed with locals. Restaurant and bar with a separate door for each. If you just going to the restaurant, enter through the middle door. We went on prime rib night (Thursday) for two $44 I guess comes with salad bar. We ordered the stuff peppers for a appetizer which was a special and they were perfect. Sausage and cheese filled. I got a cheese burger and my husband got the fish sandwich. Both came with fries and a pickle. The waitress didn't ask how I wanted my burger cooked but it came out perfect. We also stayed for dessert. I had chocolate pie and my husband had banana cake. They also had Glenora Niagara wine which is a local wine I don't see often. Very happy to see. Why I waited to come here escapes me. But food and service are perfect. Can't wait to go back.

Christmas Eve 2022 in Hotel Alabama. About more than 100 people were stuck here because of the storm. Joe, the owner and the neighbors had us here, treated the free meals, hot drinks and blankets, air beds, even Christmas gifts to kids. I and my 10 year old son with our dog were part of them, who really appreciated Joe's kindness and generous. It made us a very memorable Christmas Eve. Thanks, Joe ! And special thank to the Mom who volunteered with her one month baby. It almost made me tears down. I wrote an article and posted those pictures on WeChat E-Magazine. More than three thousands Chinese people have read it and even goes more. I hope everyone who read that can say hi to Joe when they take vacation in Niagara Falls. He deserves that!

Go and support the community as they did this weekend. Definitely going to patronize the Alabama when we visit our son at UB.

Joe is an amazing person who helped and saved at least 100 people during the 3 nights of the snow storm. Giving us free food/drinks and allow us to sleep here while giving us update non stop when he absolutely didn't need to. Def coming back to visit him! I can't thank him enough for actually saving us from the snow storm along with every other people out there who's searching around. Thank you Joe for everything!'

It's funny, I grew up about 10 minutes away from The Alabama Hotel but I have never had a meal, or a drink, from there. That all changed when my family picked up a few fish fry meals, to keep in-line with the Friday Fish Fry craze in WNY, and I was very impressed! On a Friday around 5pm, my mom and her friend ordered three fish fry meals for pick-up. Now I wasn't with them when they picked up the meals, but from what they told me, the experience was pretty seamless, even with how bustling the place was. They didn't have to wait long at all to pay out and get the meals and go. They told me there wasn't an empty table to be found! On to the fish fry itself - It came with a HUGE beer-batter fried Haddock (with a cup of tartar sauce and a lemon slice to squeeze), TONs of fries, a little cup of coleslaw, a little cup of cheesy macaroni salad, and a dinner roll with butter. I was absolutely impressed with how much food I received, but the box it came in gave me a pretty good idea. The fish was fried perfectly - not greasy at all, easy to cut with a fork, and not too "fishy" tasting, but that's most likely due to the fish being Haddock, which typically doesn't taste as "fishy" as others I've had. The coleslaw was excellent, the right level of moistness with a slight vinegar-y flavor but not overwhelming at all. The macaroni salad was excellent too, I was surprised by the cheesy flavor it had, I wasn't expecting it but very much welcomed that. The fries were very good. By the time we were able to sit down and eat our meals though, which was about 40 minutes later, the fries had cooled off and when I finally got around to eating them, they were cold, but that was not a fault of the restaurant at all. As I mentioned at the start, the size of the fish fry and the number of sides was more than generous. All of us walked away plenty full and happy - I, of course, was able to finish mine but my mom and her friend could not. I'm really glad to finally have tried food from The Alabama Hotel! The take-out experience was pretty seamless and the food quality and portions were great. I'd very much like to actually sit inside and grab a meal there, so maybe 2022 will be the year. :)
