“Lunch twice a week and never had a bad dish. Best damn steak sandwich is a must!!! Oh, by the way Kim is the best...hands down.“

“I actually passed the place due to no signage, no lights on outside to speak of. Was kind of concerned in the parking lot, but once I walked in, all good! Friendly service, great wings, downright cheap prices, they even put the audio on for Monday night football. Would highly recommend.“

“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 ❤️“

“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!“

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

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

“Excellent Cajun wings and good service!!!“

“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.“

“Great ‘hole in the wall type of atmosphere’. Lookin to catch the local Bills/Sabres game and grab some bar food, this is a good place to do it. It’s small so not much room, and only if you want to watch the local games. If you are in the mood for ‘not your typical wing’ because they are breaded it is a nice alternative. Their homemade pizza logs are big and delicious!!The bartender is always attentive and friendly, too!! (Same woman every time I went. Sorry, don’t know the name 😕)“

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

“Hi thanks again so much so much so much so much“

“Great food! Always a great visit.“

“It's a very chill atmosphere. It's cleaner than a dive bar, but eclectic with decorations. They have stage space but it's small and cozy and not usually too crowded. You can see the owner in and out of the kitchen. She was very nice to her staff.

Kid-friendliness: It's a bar. No kids please.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are steps into the place, however call ahead and I'm sure they would make arrangements, so that you feel welcome. It's the vibe that I get from the people there.“

“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!“

“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.“

“12/10 wings and 12/10 service. The bartender and cook were extremely friendly. They treated us out of towners like some locals.. and seems like some can’t handle that based on their reviews. If you’re on the hunt for some true buffalo wings, this is a great spot to try!

I found out about this place via a Reddit post. And they nailed it. Very local, very dive bar atmosphere and that’s exactly what we wanted. If you have thin skin like I’ve seen in another review go elsewhere. But if you want some true authentic wings in Buffalo, go here. The wings themselves were awesome. Traditional wings with sauce. I did go with their house made hot sauce which was great. Not too spicy but full of flavor. Not a buffalo sauce, it’s their own thing.

I also saw another review complaining about the beef on weck. It must have been their first one because Kelly’s was perfectly cooked and prepared.

Definitely recommend!“

“Best fish fry in WNY!! The french fries are fresh cut, NOT frozen, which is always a plus, and the side salads are delicious. Service is friendly and personable. The beef on weck is delicious too! My only complaint is when table's are being cleaned, they use a spray bottle with Awesome cleaner and if you're close to a table being cleaned, you can taste it.“

“Wings are fantastic! Owners and workers are even better! Love my wings cooked all the way and sauces/crispy. Best wings I’ve ever had!! :)“

“Always an Awesome time at Checkers! JP. ;) - ✌ 💚 🎶 - Jammin Jesse 🎶“

“Great music, usually no cover. Typical bar food menu. Tables available but service only at the bar.

Parking: Free parking, but not a lot of spaces.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking spot in front. No steps or impediments to getting into the bar or men's room. No handicap stall in the men's room.“

“lol this place isn’t “allen st bar & grill” or whatever, it’s The Pink. and i’ve heard their food is great (never eaten there because i’m a vegetarian). but one time when i was there i asked if there was any vegetarian food & the bartender served me some pickles, which was great. and drinks are cheap. great place to end a fun buffalo night. also if you’re a femme, you’ll make temporary best friends in the women’s bathroom every time. can you even say you’re a buffalonian if you haven’t been to The Pink? no. the answer is no.“

“my 53 bday party on the 6th of this month thanks to them it was perfect their food the atmosphere the bartenders The waitresses the cooks the owners they're all amazing people sweet a nice homey place to have food hang out enjoy people play pool sing darts anything they're all amazing“

“Great food, great atmosphere“

“Good food! Really good service. Soup is fantastic!“

“This is a small corner bar. The bartenders stay on top of your drinks! They have pool tables, darts & a jukebox. They sometimes have live bands or a dj. They do serve food as well. I recommend the cheeseburgers & frys! If your in the area check it out!“

“Stopped for beverages and wings and they did not disappoint!!! We will definitely be back!!!!!“

“Our bartender, Jackie, greeted us as we took seats at the bar. She took our order right away. She engaged with each customer and checked back with us as needed. The wings were great, but an otherwise limited menu. A pleasant stop for a refreshing drink or two.“

“Got stranded at Christmas 2022. This hotel staff is absolutely amazing!! Very accommodating, super helpful. Other hotels are running out of food and these guys are making breakfast and a dinner for everyone. It’s truly an amazing crew. They are stranded with us and dealing with all the stress yet have a smile on their face!! A can not recommend this place enough, just because of the staff. Merry Christmas and thank you so very very much!!!“

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

“Just ate there today. Delicious homemade salads, nice size fish (offered breaded or battered), great fries and some rye bread and butter to boot!Nice, clean eating area with a friendly waitress Becky! So nice and attentive!You will make this your regular Friday night fish fry. I see they do to go orders as well!“

“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!“

“Definitely recommend honey bourbon barbecue sauce for what ever you get.“

“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!“

“I have not only had excellent food at Jack Rabbit, both brunch & dinner...but I have also enjoyed many nights there with live, local entertainment. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I understand the reputation Elmo’s has when it comes to wings. They were cooked perfectly. Nice and crispy but still sauced just right. I do want to try and find just the right combination and they do their double dipped. I think finding just the perfect style to your own makes a huge difference. Also, not sure what it was, but their 7up was just hitting so tight that night.“

“The food is really good. Today we had Bavarian Onion soup and the German platter( sausage , cabbage roll, German potato salad) delicious .“

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

“great place, to meet up with friends very laid back, your typical neighbor's bar food is good, and very cheap I highly recommend“

“I wouldn't recommend the Steak Quesadilla as it was extremely salty. However the chicken quesadilla was mighty delicious.“
