“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“

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

“Have been there twice now. Jimmy the bartender was awesome both times! Highly recommend. I’m not exactly sure what nights he’s out and about but we’ve been on a Sunday and Monday evening, and I’m very glad I’m moving to the ward so I can become a regular and have him as a bartender more regularly. Conversation always great, and he engages multiple groups if there’s more than one group so that everyone can get to know each other. They have magners, my favorite cider and Tully, my favorite whisky so I’m a happy camper! Thank you jimmy! And thank you kris and the nice young lady and gentleman from the kitchen that chatted with me tonight. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

“Awesome staff. Great atmosphere“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

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

“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!“

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

“We ordered drop off catering for our 30th anniversary party. Everything was delicious and HOT. Matt was absolutely wonderful to work with. Our numbers kept growing by the day but that didn’t phase him. He went over and above, making sure we had the biggest brisket he could find and he even brought us an extra pan of veggies just in case. The bbq pork mac n cheese was a huge hit. The prices were very reasonable, especially for the superior service. I highly recommend Blue Fire BBQ! Thanks for a great experience, Matt!!“

“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.“

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

“Amazing food. Reasonable prices. Really enjoyed ourselves.“

“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!“

“1st time was Sunday afternoon, silo nachos, and chicken tenders, the silo nachos knocked it out of the park, chicken was good. They have guiness nuff said, the bartender was very friendly and gave us some of the history, also had a lengthy conversation with the owners son who seemed to be really into the who silo city .
Great place , we loved the reuse of an admin building. Yesterday was our first visit it will definitely not be our last. Great place Great atmosphere, keep it going.“
