Dee's Sugar Shack — Restaurant in City of Lockport

Our favorite breakfast place was closed due to the Taste of Lockport, so we decided to try this place since it was close by and had high ratings. Maybe we came on an off day, but we still won't be back.

I opted for the apple cinnamon pancakes. The apples were mushy, the pancakes were mostly raw in the middle, and the parts that were cooked tasted terrible. My husband's corned beef hash can best be described as gelatinous, and that's being kind. Our toddler son, who loves pancakes, wouldn't eat his and actually scrapped them off his tongue because he disliked them so much. We asked for his bacon to be extra crispy, but it was flaccid. We were never given refills either.

The only positive was that the food arrived quickly. Shame it was all terrible. We only ate what we did because we were starving by that point, but I honestly would have been happier to be starving. You can get a better breakfast for the same price or cheaper at any...

This review is only as a breakfast joint ... Blueberry pancakes, with the blueberries whole and inside the pancakes, with a just fine crunch to them. Two pretty good sized pancakes that were perfect without any syrup.

Bananna French Toast and Caramel Pecan Sauce. Three pieces - the banannas just soft enough so they weren't mush, great sauce. My only "complaint" such as it is, is that there might have been a touch more pecans.

Neither the pancakes nor French Toast were immense portions, but they were of sufficient size that you left completely full and not feeling like it was Thanksgiving. Both, roughly $7 each. If served anywhere other than that restaurant, on that side of West Avenue, they were $9 dishes at the least.

Side of breakfast sausage was good, but standard. The coffee and orange juice were pretty much standard. Service quick and friendly - but to be fair, it was a subzero Sunday so traffic wasn't high.

I love this breakfast place. The food is good, comes out fast and won't break the bank. They do a great biscuits and gravy, great pancakes, excellent French toast and who doesn't love eggs cooked to order and bacon. Good portions. Wait staff is always friendly and comes to know your face after a couple visits. The coffee comes out right away and your cup is unlikely to become empty. It's a bit of a hidden gem in Lockport. If I had to say anything negative, it needs a bit of a style update, but what's there is fine if you like a good American...
