Nickel Plate Depot — Restaurant in Town of Portland

It was a terrific experience visiting this bar. It had such a local feel to it.

After driving along the shoreline of Lake Erie in Dunkirk, a few miles up the road, I felt like getting a couple of brews and some chicken wings. And I sure found the right place.

When you walk in on the back part, there is a shuffleboard table with a variety of memorabilia on the wall. When you leave that area and keep walking toward the front, you enter the bar area, where there is a handful of spots to sit.

So I sat down and had a couple of beers and I asked if the chicken wings were good. And while I always assume that the answer will be yes, we actually got into a discussion about how they always try the batch of chicken wings before they start serving them.

I ended up ordering them and I noticed that there was a flavor called Chiavetta's, which is like a creamy Italian flavor. I had never tried this type of sauce before and the waitress said it was pretty good. So I decided to give it a shot.

When the wings were served, I ate them and they were wonderful. They were crunchy, meaty, the sauce tasted great, and most importantly, they were fresh. Just terrific wings.

If you ever happen to visit this place, certain days of the week they have specials and events, like karaoke, $.75 wings and $2 beers. Definitely something to consider. There is also a pool table.

Overall, great wings, cold beer, and...

The atmosphere was very family friendly, the people were nice and the place had a good vibe. The food was great. Definitely recommend their signature burger, it's huge and delicious! And you absolutely cannot beat the price! 10/10 will definitely be...

We all enjoyed our food. They also had an open mic night, which was cool. The only negative was that there was only 1 waitress for the entire bar and restaurant. She did as well as humanly possible, but we had to have one of the people at our table take drink orders and deliver them (she offered to help), we had to set up the table for ourselves, and we had to find the waitress to pay at the bar. Again, the waitress was fantastic, she was just in an...
