“Blue Bull is a great casual bar with great food & great atmosphere“

“Food is amazing and our servicer was knowledgeable on wines!“

“When I visit Buffalo, I always have to stop in for Duffs wings. I was there today 2-27-2024 with friends from high-school“

“We have been in Buffalo 10 days. This is by far the best food we had so far. We will be back.“

“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.“

“Fast and Friendly Service!I ordered from this restaurant during my stay at the Bufaloo Marriott. The food was absolutely delicious, and the bartender was friendly. I enjoyed the Strawberry Salad, also. Overall, a great restaurant

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

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

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

“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!“

“Visiting Mister Sizzle's with my boys is always a highlight for us; it's our special treat. From the moment we step into this vibrant burger joint on Buffalo's West Side, the atmosphere fills us with anticipation. What truly sets our experiences apart, aside from the inviting vibe and the staff's warm hospitality, are the flavors that await us. Mister Sizzle's is renowned for its diverse burger lineup and signature milkshake cocktails, offering something for everyone, including a delightful vegan option for those seeking alternatives.

However, the star of our visits has always been the milkshakes, particularly the cookies and cream flavor. It's the boys' go-to choice and never fails to impress. The rich, creamy texture combined with the perfect blend of cookies and cream is unmatched; it's the best milkshake we've found in Western New York, hands down.

The news that Mister Sizzle's is expanding to Hamburg, taking over a spot that holds memories of a past burger joint near Spot Coffee, excites us immensely. Their epic burgers are without comparison, and having them closer to home means more joyful outings with my boys. The anticipation for the Hamburg location's opening, where we'll get to enjoy our favorite burgers and milkshakes more frequently, adds a special touch to our future family outings. Mister Sizzle's, with its commitment to the community, environment, and quality, truly stands out not just as a burger place but as a beacon of good times and great food in Buffalo.“

“First time coming here with my boyfriend for dinner and it was outstanding. Had wings and fresh cut fries and their homeade blue cheese was amazing!! I can’t wait to come back I will be trying the turkey club next!! Awesome spot“

“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.“

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

“The Nowhere Lounge has a great selection of mixed drinks. They also have a good selection of beer and snacks. What impressed me most was the attention to detail from the long to the lavatories. Everything is clean, the bartender was very friendly and helpful, and the drinks were delicious. I honestly can’t wait to go back!“

“Awesome staff. Great atmosphere“

“Staff, food, drinks and atmosphere were all amazing! We were going to be in Amherst for a softball tournament and reached out to Pour Taproom to host a team/family dinner. It was perfect. We had a designated section reserved for our group. The girls got to sit together and bond, younger siblings were kept entertained playing some of the numerous games the restaurant had on hand and the adults got to relax while enjoying some tasty food and drinks. Parents were still talking about that dinner a week later. 10/10. Would highly recommend.“

“It took 1hr to cook wings &salad? Bill was 37$, gave bar dude 50$ ask me if I needed change? 13$ tip wtf“

“Loved the atmosphere!!! Gabriel was our bartender and took such good care of us!! We will be back for sure!“

“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.“

“Went there for 1st time today with Friends, Food & Service was FANTASTIC. Thanks Jen for your wonderful service and great personality.“

“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.“

“We just got a pretzel and some soda at the walk up window the other day, just a cool thing to be able to get a snack with a kid on a nice night without having to walk into the bar!

Kid-friendliness: Walk up window option is nice!“

“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.“

“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“

“Don’t miss the Friday night fish fry.“

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

“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.“

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

“THANK YOU so much for your generous donation to Our Lady of Peace church’s Wines Around the World Event. We greatly appreciate your donation. With out your support we could not help the Breast Cancer Network, the OLP Youth Group or provide Formed (a Catholic based web site) for our parishioners. Support Local Businesses!“

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

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

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

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“The bar tenders are amazing! It has to be the best bar in its area by far!!! I highly recommend!“

“Its a friendly place layed back and chill.yes its considered a hole in the wall type, but its one of the good ones. Its my home away from home since I moved to the area 6 months ago. Great wings on wendsday ($.50 wing day! And they are great!) Wish they had more food on other days but awww well.“
