Writing a food column for East Niagara Post comes with a few amazing perks. One of my favorites is the fact that I get to buy new clothes every month- not because I want to, because I have to. The food in this neck of the woods is so scrumptious that I’ve been blessed with the gift of a new wardrobe due to an increased waistline. In my travels these past few months I have stumbled across some unique menu
items and some downright weird ones too. For example, did you know Steakstone & Sushi serves Jellyfish? Thankfully it’s seasonal and I didn’t have to try it … yet.
I’ve compiled a list of a few of my favorite “Unique Eats” that I found right here in East Niagara. It was hard to choose five but I narrowed it down to the best dishes that were sampled this month.
#5 Pineapple Rice from Steakstone & Sushi
Pineapple Rice sounds simple enough, just the name alone alludes to the fact that it’s probably rice with pineapple in it. What if I told you it is rice with pineapple in it in a pineapple. Huh? Yes, you read that right. Steakstone cuts a pineapple in half, takes out the fruit, cooks the rice along with any vegetables and your choice of chicken, steak, or shrimp, and then serves the rice inside the pineapple. It’s bizarre, it’s fun, and it’s delicious. A perfect balance of sweet and savory.
#4 Pretzel Crust from Pizza Hut
Wait, what’s a chain pizzeria doing on this list when East Niagara has some of the best pizzerias in Western New York? Pretzel Crust-It’s a game changer. Pizza Hut has revamped their menu to cater to the modern, hip & trendy, eaters. Their new menu offers spicy sirracha drizzles, a buffalo chicken pizza, and the aforementioned Pretzel Crust. The new crust almost tastes like those Auntie Anne’s pretzels that are at every mall in America. Seeing that you can get their “Big Box Meal Deal” for $20, that includes breadsticks, boneless wings, and two pizzas, you really can’t go wrong by ordering one regular pizza and one with the new crust.
#3 Banana-Cinnamon Delight from Gordie Harper’s Bazaar
So imagine a place that bakes their own bread daily. Now imagine they take their cinnamon bread, grill it, drizzle it with a sweet sauce that will make your head spin with joy, and then top it with bananas. They serve up two slices for $4.75, I was full after one but the second one was sinfully delicious too.
#2 Jumbo Stuffed Mozzarella Meatball from DeFlippo’s
Living in East Niagara, I would imagine you’ve had a DeFlippo’s meatball. The legendary Italian Restaurant has been serving them for generations for a reason-They’re delicious. Now Imagine a DeFlippo’s meatball the size of a baseball. Crazy right? Now imagine that baseball sized meatball stuffed with mozzarella cheese then erupts out of it as you cut into it. The fact that they cover this modern marvel with their signature homemade red sauce makes something that couldn’t be better, spectacular.
#1 Gin and Juice Sherbet from Lake Effect Ice Cream
I don’t know how the owners of Lake Effect pulled this one off-Gin & Juice ice cream. Take one bite of this “super refreshing mix of orange & Grapefruit juice spiked with gin” and you’ll understand why it made the list. I’m not quite sure if the guys at Lake Effect are geniuses or they are just two guys that threw a cocktail in the ice cream machine one night just for kicks. Either way, this sherbet was not only refreshing, it was absolutely divine. After licking my final bite off the spoon I glanced at the counter and wondered if the cashier would judge me if I ordered another round.
+Jay Bérent had to be escorted off the premises of Lake Effect Ice Cream after his seventh round of Gin & Juice sherbet. He was last seen stumbling down Transit mumbling “I don’t care how much you pay me, I’m not eating the Jellyfish from Steakstone.” Know of some unique eats? Email him at jayberent@gmail.com.

I have the answer to the question. You know the question I’m talking about, the one that you probably uttered this week: What do you want for dinner? If you’re like me, the response I hear most often runs along the lines of “I don’t know” and “whatever you want.” This week’s culinary adventure takes us to a place so unique, so spectacular, that I would go so far to call it home to one of the best menus in Western New York. Steak Stone & Sushi is what you want for dinner.
A steakstone, and the dining experience, is described on their menu “Our stones are heated to 800 degrees and then seasoned with pure Himalayan salt that contains trace minerals known to enhance well-being and alleviate ailments. Entrees are delivered to your table, sizzling with aroma, and seared for your dining. Immediately begin cutting bite-sized pieces and let them rest on the stone for a moment until cooked to your perfection. Steakstone is oil free, natural, healthy, and lots of fun. Each bite from start to finish will be hot, juicy, and delicious.”
We started our dinner with the Filet Mignon stone entrée. It was reasonably priced at $21.99 and it included a choice of two sides. The steak came out sizzling as described and the filet cut was flawless.
The steak literally cooks as you cut it. Within seconds, you can prepare each piece to your wellness liking. The tender pieces of steak were seasoned by the Himalayan salt and they needed no additional seasoning. The two side dishes adorned the plate next to the steakstone and they did not disappoint-The fried rice and fresh vegetables balanced the plate nicely.
Our second entrée was the Mango Chicken. Was modestly priced at $12.99 and it included a miso soup or a small salad. The fresh vegetables in the dish were so crisp and colorful, I’d swear they were picked that morning. The chicken and mango pieces were stirred throughout and were bathed in a sweet sauce that even the pickiest eater would enjoy.
I took a moment to look around the modernly decorated restaurant and I noticed the gentleman at the next table ordered the pineapple rice. How did I know it was the pineapple rice? It was served in an actual pineapple. Now, I certainly wasn’t disappointed in my entrée selections but I was extremely envious of his experience. I also noticed that there was a nice mix of people and the tables were filling up. Everyone, from the suit-wearing workers enjoying a happy hour to the family at the next table that matched my t-shirt and jeans, looked comfortable and I was impressed that one of the best steaks I ever had could be enjoyed in an environment that didn’t seem snooty.
I put aside my distractions and began concentrating on the Scorpion Roll I ordered. Yes, you read that right but it’s not what you think. A Scorpion Roll is fully cooked sushi filled with tempura breaded shrimp, avocado, and cucumber. It’s topped with crab meat and a spicy sriracha sauce and a sliced jalapeno pepper. This crowd pleaser could, and should, be shared as an appetizer during your visit. It is the perfect sushi for the beginner or first-timer, because it doesn’t include any raw fish, and it is a deliciously unique experience for the seasoned sushi diner.
Steak Stone & Sushi is located at 5772 S. Transit Road in Lockport. They offer daily food and drink specials, and their Sunday “$6 bottomless Mimosa” served between noon and four is on my radar, as is the pineapple rice. The food here is by far some of the best in Western New York, and the staff is friendly and actually quite fun. Our waiter, Lee, offered up a double Fonzie from Happy Days styled thumbs up when we ordered a steakstone. That’s exactly the rating I give this restaurant, two Fonzie thumbs up-It doesn’t get better than that.
