Vegetarian options: Strawberry Salad- arugula, spinach, feta cheese, walnuts, and strawberry dressing“

“My husband and I have always enjoyed the great food and drinks at Jazzboline, and the waitstaff consistently provides excellent service. Recently, I had the pleasure of throwing a surprise birthday party for my husband there, and I can't say enough about how helpful Mike Overdorf was! He answered all my questions and made the party planning process seamless, from selecting the drink menu to choosing the meals, even including little boxes of chocolates as a special touch. During the party, the waitstaff, Michelle and Sara, were gracious, kind, patient, and attentive throughout the celebration.“

“First time would definitely recommend the food was awesome 🤩“

“I love this special family also... great picture“

“Went there for st. Patrick’s day. Couldn’t be more pleased. We had a reservation and got seated immediately. Service was fast and friendly and the food was out of this world. I think I’d sell my soul for more sticky toffee pudding. If you want an idea of their service I watched a man straight up slap a glass of beer out of the waitresses hands (he was a hand talker and it was an accident) and into the wall. She was super kind about it and someone (a manger or owner) came over and immediately changed out everything and cleaned everything up while the server got a new beer. Everyone was kind and quick about it and had I not happened to catch it out of the corner of my eye. they were so discrete Idt I would have. As a table we tried the Sheppards fries, the corned beef and cabbage, corned beef sandwich and sticky toffee pudding and all were incredible. Definitely will be back!“

“We sat at the bar and Brian was our top notch bartender. Great beer and wings and whatever you do don’t ask I him for a bloody Maria he only makes those for girls from Texas 🤣 but hey it was great!! Thank you Brian, if we are ever back in Buffalo we’ll come see you again! #marshalltexascomestobuffalo“

“Went for a Sunday brunch and got the Huevos Rancheros and was pleasantly surprised by how good and delicious it was. I also had the Gypsy Juice as my beverage, along with some Pastelitos (beef) shared for the table. Those were just OK to me and I've had better elsewhere. My party and I sat outside for a nice day out on the patio and some people watching, and despite being the only ones out there while we were dining, we still had great service from our server.“

“After constantly being jealous of the line up at this place I made it back home to buffalo to catch one of my favorite performers ever. Ryan Montbleau in this room felt like home. Super friendly bartenders. A couple small seating areas for those who don't want to stand all night after 40 hours on their feet. Great sound system and from what I've heard they are planning upgrades.“

“My favorite bar in Buffalo. The vibes are immaculate, great drinks, and the food is insanely good. I cannot say enough good things about them.“

“Awesome staff. Great atmosphere“

“My husband and I went in with my brother and sister in law for a double date. It was my first time there and didn’t know what to expect. It was very fun atmosphere and the drinks were good. I really enjoyed the customer service from the bartenders. They talked to us and explained some of the drinks that I never heard of. It was great to have a convo rather than being ignored. My husband I will be going back and excited to try a different drink“

“So delicious!!! We enjoyed every single thing we ordered. Highly recommended!“

“Food was great. Bartender was attentive to service But DO NOT pay with a debit card if you value your money Their credit card system double charges at times holding your money until the false charge falls off. We are still waiting for some of our money to be released due to a second false charge“

“Great wings!!!! One of the best in Buffalo. Nice old neighborhood bar atmosphere. Cold beer, bartender and server were very quick and attentive. You can beat the prices. Be aware, cash only. Can't wait to go back again for the amazing wings and a Genny Cream Ale. You won't be disappointed.“

“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.“

“Perfect for late night tapas and wine with the girls. Friendly bartenders. Delicious olive oil cake!“

“Okay, my fiancé and I go a lot to the hamburg location never ever have a issue… unfortunately today on a Monday night we both got caught up in work late in the night so we went to the location downtown to grab food togo. When arriving home (a 25 minute drive) and opened bag there was No sauce and 6 sides of pickles that wasn’t asked for instead…. Called back right away and asked for a manger (emily), Emily was not only upset and frustrated with us because we are HUGE sauce people but also wanting to fix the issue right away.. we paid cash and opted for a e-gift card, Emily Right away emailed us $50 for our next visit. My fiancé and I had really hard day today and she made a bad day turn to a good ending,“

“Nice tribute to celebrating Jordan and Michael’s life’s 💙💙. Thank you I am Jordan’s cousin . The amazing love and support from the community.“

“Love it here! Great food, friendly staff! Good people who are building a nice, inclusive community“

“Love the bartenders!!! Best place to have a few drinks and hang out!!!“

“The food here is tremendous (wings are on par with Bar-Bill and they have a great fish fry), but one word of caution - do not expect to be able to order meat on Friday’s during Lent. Long time regulars are probably well aware of this policy but we were caught a bit off guard. Given that they were absolutely packed with people ordering the fish fry, it makes a lot of sense, just something to be aware of.“

“AMAZING!! We hired Matt and his team to cater our wedding and through the entire process they were so easy to communicate with! The day went so smooth and they were so efficient and professional!! I cannot rave enough about the food and the service that was provided! Such an amazing team for catering events and we will always recommend them!“

“Love this place! It's like hanging out at your friends house. The bartender is Awesome and makes it enjoyable to be there!“

“Went there for the 2 for $7 chili and bacon dogs on a Thursday around 6pm. Was surprised at what a good time we had. Bartender was very nice and helpful. She made us some amazing slushie drinks. I didn't know they offered those. I saw the machine hiding in the back and asked lol. They should advertise that a bit. Hot dogs were great and well worth it. We had a blast playing the MANY pinball machines. I loved the variety of stuff they had. It's not just a pool hall! The whole vibe was great and we will def be back. 4 stars!“

“Great location to enjoy a few pints and some comfort foods before a Sabres game. Easy walking distance to/from the Metro-line.“

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff — definitely a place you want to grab a drink and hang out at!“

“We hosted a happy hour party for our mom’s birthday on Friday night and it was the perfect ambiance! The staff was super friendly, the food was delicious especially the meatballs and peppers, and the string lights make it the most perfect Friday night on Hertel!“

“cod fish beer battered. a step above the pollock every other place calls haddock. cod is a large flaky white fish with tons of omega 3 fatty acids. and they have mixed drinks and beer on tap. hidden gem in the NorthTowns“

“Jason and Julie have created an atmosphere that has become widely accepted by appreciants of fine cocktails everywhere.“

“I love this place! It can become a little crowded sometimes but I definitely think it’s worth it for the atmosphere. The staff are super friendly and it’s always very clean! I live in the area and it’s nice to not have to travel far for a good tap. The only thing I really think they need to improve is the parking lot. There are about four parking spaces and on a busy night there is no street parking.“

“just awesome!! can not say anything else but awesome“

“like everything about the place. food,drinks,bartenders“

“we ordered the wings and FF definitely going back liked everything about the place made me feel like I was back home in South Dakota 😊“

“Amazing food and wonderful service!!!“

“Great spot to try and find Donny“

“I like going there and making new friends“

“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.“

“Friendly bartenders and patrons. Lots of tvs to watch sports on. Go Bills!“

“hands down the best fish fry in WNY and a great price.“

“Great place! Friendly Bartender, great wings and awesome beer list. We’ll be back“
