Reviews for Demetri's On the Lake in Dunkirk, NY
Loved dinner at Demetri's On the Lake. No wait for a table on the deck, and we only saw three bees / yellow jackets despite the... heads up from our hostess. Mackenzie took care of our drinks right away and gave us time to peruse the ample menu and dailyspecials. That of course compelled me to go overboard with food, but I loved every bit of it. Started with their loaded potatosoup, then had the Wednesday Wings Special, ten for $5.00. (You MUST order wings when you're this close to Buffalo. It's writteninto the New York State constitution. Look it up.) My son beat me to the punch ordering the Buffalo Tator Tots, but that didn'tstop me from getting my own. The menu has TONS of options, especially if you like Greek food like souvlaki and moussaka. I wastempted, but opted for the fried scallops, which tasted even better looking out over Lake Erie. My son had the Texan Burger withOnion Rings, BBQ sauce, tomatoes and lettuce. My wife and daughter are less adventurous and went with very generous helpings ofchicken fingers and fries, but we all walked away with leftovers for tomorrow. It was just what the doctor ordered after a 7 1/2hour drive with sporadic torrential downpours. Now, I'm going to drift into a food coma and dream of hot wings and stickyfingertips while the Mets spank the Braves in Atlanta. Read more
I know it?s the 4th of July and staff would prefer not to be working; I get it. But, when the staff groups together at the... counter and just complaining about the customers. It?s unacceptable. This place had sub-par food with my Greek Salad beingwilted lettuce and the gyro just burnt to a crisp. Sent it back and didn?t reorder. Yuck. Other members of our party haddried out pasta like they it had been heated up in a microwave. The building is falling apart and the restrooms are likewalking into a truck stop with urine all over the seats (the smell - gross). The outdoor tables being held up by napkins. It?sa great location downtown, but the owners need to take a hard look into their business. Don?t go here - unless you prefer a badexperience. Read more
Giving even one star was too much. We waited for over an hour for our food. There was another large party that was seated well... after us and she took and put their order in before is!! Our server was negative and said ?she should just go home? after mydad (86) who couldn?t cut his over done steak asked for a sharp knife. We chose this restaurant because our dad loves being nearthe pier and this was a birthday lunch celebration for him. Apparently the restaurant is understaffed, per our server and sheonly came in to ?help? out. We even gave her a piece of ice cream cake to ?cheer? her up, guess it takes more than being kindto someone who was very miserable! We hope her day got better! We have never been so disappointed in service and food! Saveyour money and go elsewhere!! Read more

Well this was an unexpected pleasant surprise. We had the Mediterranean Style broiled fish and it was excellent. At the base was... a perfectly cooked, tender and juicy piece of haddock. It was topped with sautéed spinach, onions, tomatoes, and feta cheese.Included was a house salad which was fresh and crisp, and tasty mashed potatoes. Even the coleslaw was delicious. Service wasexcellent and the view was lovely. Don't let the exterior fool you, this is worth the visit. Read more
Food was really good. I had the Reuben sandwich and coffee. The server was plight and on time! But with everything going they... need help just like everyone else. Alway go back when I'm in town. Read more
The food is served in large portions at reasonable prices. I went on a busy Sunday during the lunch hour and received the... experience that I expected; full dining room, timely service, good food. One thing that makes this restaurant stand out is thefact that if sitting at a window seat, you can look out at the pier/lake Erie while you eat. A very pleasant dining experience.After finishing my roast beef sandwich I left feeling full and satisfied. Read more
Make sure your hungry when you go here. I thought I make it light lunch and order just an appetizer! I still needed a box to... take with me when I left. Great food good people. I?m glad we stopped in on our way through town Read more
