“This is bar food at its best! Easy parking. Fast service with excellent recommendations. My husband ordered the western cheeseburger. Even the bun was lightly toasted. I had the quesadilla with fries. There were LOTS of crinkled fries. My dad ordered 1/2 hot and Cajun hot which was a good balance. Learned about double dipped wings. He enjoyed them! My stepson honey mustard Cajun and hot wings. He couldn't pick a favorite. They had a nice crunch to them.“

“Amazing place to stop for food and drinks . The French onion soup is literally one of the best I have had in WNY I don’t say that lightly. I absolutely love French onion soup . We have been here multiple times and have never had anything bad off of there menu ❤️“

“Everything about Sal’s is amazing. The atmosphere- cozy, welcoming, classic and untouched. Also, everything was very clean. The service- friendly, warm, attentive and helpful. The food- these are the BEST chicken wings I’ve ever had. We had four flavours, all incredible. Garlic parm and medium hot were the best. All come with blue cheese. Couldn’t recommend more! We went here with friends before dropping them off at the airport. Please, go to Sal’s.“

“I love this bar so much. Not only do they offer top notch entertainment; drag, burlesque, karaoke, dance parties and more. The food is INCREDIBLE. The best chicken fingers I’ve ever had and of course you can’t go wrong with their spicy picklebacks🤤

It’s also one of the few bars that I feel 100% safe at in Buffalo, as a woman that’s extremely important to me.

Love Val and the Hot Mamas crew❤️❤️❤️“

“Love the food, atmosphere and service. It’s everything a NY bar and grill should be.“

“We had our diaper party here and can’t say enough great things about the experience we had and the staff that helped us. From the very beginning Scott, Beth and the rest of the staff were kind, helpful and very professional. We had been coming here long before it was 16 Ellicott and have to say how great the inside looks, how nice the staff is, how good the food still is even after the ownership change. If you’re looking to host a small party, go out to eat or even meet friends for a drink this is the spot!! We so appreciate everyone who helped make our party such a fun day!“

“Pasta was overcooked. Sauce was sour. Had to ask for grated cheese twice before we got it. Same with water. The restaurant and bar were very busy but no excuse for the disorganization we experienced. Probably won't go back as Buffalo has many Italian restaurants with better food, atmosphere and prices. We went at the high recommendation of friends and were very disappointed.“

“Kelly's Korner has been a go-to spot for our family every time we visit Buffalo, we eat there at least once every trip. Their beef on weck is delicious and I've yet to find another place that comes close. It's a dive bar in a good way, the people are nice, the location is convenient, great food, what's not to like?

Try it, you won't be disappointed.“

“I alway enjoy whatever cocktail I get from Ballyhoo, and my last visit there was no different. One of the best bars in town in my opinion with very reasonably priced drinks and excellent customer service. Not a very large bar space, but definitely worth checking out. They do serve a limited food menu as well, but I have not tried any yet.“

“We loved Union before but now it is even better in the new location. The bar is awesome and there is a full dinning room now to come and enjoy a killer meal. I love the French onion soup, wings and of course Transit log!! Awesome downtown place!“

“I'm hesitant to post this place because I want it to stay secret. The prices for Friday fish is unmatched for the quality of food and amounts. It's my go to for lent and always ready in 20 minutes. Old style neighborhood tavern looks may be deceiving.“

“I went to raintree yesterday for the first time and I will definitely be back to try the food! I just went for a few drinks with a friend and I have to say the bartender was so friendly and welcoming. We chatted for a bit and had a few laughs. The people that sat next to us ended up being very sociable and had some great conversations. Its nice to know you can walk into a place and be treated like you been a regular. Thank you and I will be back!“

“Oh man where do I start. Over the years I've had a few really good fish dinners but this one by far was the 'best' ! They say don't judge a book by its cover, well the same goes for the building. Cozy inside and the staff is nice and friendly. I believe the fish dinner was only $14.00 and there was plenty. Hey I just realize something , there was no bread or a roll ! Stuff to have it all. I know one thing for sure, I'm going back !“

“The Cobblestone is the best place to hit before or after an event at Keybank Center. The pizza and wings are to die for!! Staff is super friendly and attentive!! If you haven't been, you don't know what you are missing!“

“Stopped in while in town for a football game as we were staying just around the corner. Wings and burger were great as was the service. The music they were playing was not great and probably why they weren't real busy. Might have been a patrons choice but it was downright horrible music and way too loud to carry on a conversation. Definitely not family friendly.“

“Very disappointed in the duck soup. I have been eating it for years and the last batch I purchased at the Polish Festival had carrots in it!! Too thick and gray.Must be someone new making it. When I asked about the carrots, they said they've been doing it like that for years. Huh?!“

“I had my daughter's birthday party at Northtown center during an open skate on short notice. The Skybox owner was very accommodating, and set us up in their private party room for pizza and cake. It overlooks the main ice rink which was great. The staff was very helpful and the pizza and wings were tasty. Thanks again!“

“The Runaround is a great place to go to enjoy a delicious meal in a warm, inviting atmosphere. Anne is a terrific hostess & an excellent cook as well. They also have live muzic on select dayz. Dealerz Choice Duo luv to play & eat at The Runaround. Alwayz a great time!“

“Love this place!!! I go here for all my holidays.“

“Can’t go wrong people are nice , all ages“

“They have the best wings in Western New York and their pizza is second only to Bocce's. The prices are just an added bonus.“

“Very accommodating - we truly appreciate their hosting our event there!!!“

“Went today for a fish fry! Was really really good! We’ll be back!“

“Went to 99 for New Year’s Day brunch and had a great atmosphere and the breakfast pizza was delicious! Perfect brunch meal to share“

“We had a group of 27 for the Thursday night Bills game. The bar was very accommodating to our large group and Nicole did a fabulous job serving us. I heard nothing but good things from my group regarding the food, service and the viewing experience with all of the tv’s. For most of us, it was our first time there, and we will definitely be back again!“

“Fantastic pizza logs and beef on weck!“

“We were a large group that stopped by for drinks and Heather C at the bar was wonderful,“

“Our family had Easter Brunch at Jack Rabbit and we were all very impressed, the service was excellent! Everything was served in a timely manner (even with it being very busy) our food was hot and delicious! We all had different entrees from Eggs Benedict, Steak & Eggs, Turkey Benedict, Pancakes and we all agreed that the Breakfast Pizza was the BEST we have ever had oh and don’t forget the Tater Tots! Look forward to going back! Katie 👍👍🌟“

“Love karaoke with KarioJoe“

“Went there before a play for dinner at Shea's Buffalo. This place is on the Chippewa bar strip, so we were not expecting much. Walking inside, it looks like a typical party/cocktail bar, brick walls, long bar, and tables opposite the bar with plastic chairs and Formica tables, so you are sitting in the bar. At 5:30PM on restaurant week before a nearby playing of Hamilton, we were the only diner's there (and only 4 others at the bar). Now the good part.... one of the best meals I have had in a long time!!!!! Waitress/bartender was prompt, attentive and friendly. The special for restaurant week that we had was $35 for soup/salad (I had soup), Duck with asparagus, yams, sprouts and and pie for dessert. This meal was fabulous! Perfect portion and perfect flavor. The caramel/peanut butter pie was luscious! On top of all this, we were there during happy hour, so $3 a beer. I highly recommend trying this place to eat, just don't expect a cozy, intimate atmosphere. You won't be disappoints, and you won't be broke.“
