New American Restaurants near Amherst, NY

“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.“

We had loganberry Moscow mules that were delicious and started with the Brussel sprouts appetizer! Our server Olivia was very friendly and sweet....attentive and gave good suggestions. Look forward to next time!“

“Drinking is ok. But food takes forever, even when it isn’t busy. Fries cold, sandwich lukewarm at best.“

“Great food, bartenders were awesome. The beers were fresh and there were plenty to choose from. One thing it does need is another TV at the other side of the bar. This would help when there are any home games on, you can watch it from either side of the bar.“

“Every time I’ve eaten at the Phoenix 269 the food was incredible- the service is perfect. I love the atmosphere and the patio. It’s a cozy, family run business that makes you feel like your eating with family! I had the shrimp dish / it was delicious. The ice cream pie was unbelievably good! I’ll be back.“

“We had the best food at this little diner! It has an old world American charm. They gave us great service. They were great with my son. The kids chocolate chip pancakes my son ordered were super thick! My son wanted everyone to know he rates their pancakes 1,000 out of 10, the best he's ever had. I loved the stuffed acorn squash, a super rare menu item, but they rocked it! We came by on off hours, so they weren't busy at all, it was great!“

“wonderful food and service! I love this place.“

“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.“

“My husband and my family come here all the time. It is always spot on and the service is always amazing! Was just there for breakfast today and it was so good and the waitress was so nice. Keep up the great work, you’re always busy for good reasons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“2nd time ordering she doesn’t disappoint ! Ordered from Uber eats - from the thoughtfulness of the packaging to the amazing taste; food slaps. Highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“Hosted a party for 40 people in their back room and they were so lovely and easy to coordinate with! Tony was amazing in the booking process and worked with us to create a delicious vegetarian menu and our bartender Edie was amazing. Highly recommend for a private party (max 50ish people probably).“

“Go see Debee the bartender! She awesome! The wings were delicious!“

“Hudson who served us was very friendly. We had an appetizer and two meals. It was very good and worth the price. The Brisket is amazing ... !!“

“Since I became extremely lactose intolerant, eating out is always a disappointment. Not here! I could trust everything on the menu. I took a vegetarian friend and one with no food restrictions and we loved everything we ordered. Super friendly staff, great service and the food was outstanding. Mac and cheese, yes please!“

“My wife and I will stop here before we go to Flying Bison. The bartender is always super friendly and attentive. The food is always good here too. Prices are easy on the wallet too we always have a couple of beers and dinner for about 40bucks. Can’t beat this place! Chicken wings, burgers and fish fry’s are all awesome!!!“

“A friend and I visited this bar and we were greeted and served by one of the nicest bar staff I have ever encountered, impeccable service and some good, friendly chat the visit was then topped off with what my friend described as "The Best wings I've ever had".Cannot recommend this place enough if you are lucky enough to find yourself here.“

“The Celtic Menu was planned for this week and a friend and I ordered the Seafood light cream soup and Fall salad with romaines, toasted hazelnuts, grilled orange slices,et cetera to start ! Each was so very delicious ! Before that we were given their complimentary amusebusce ( sp.? ) of their homegrown cherry tomatoes, flavored butter and asparagus. The breadbasket had Irish soda bread,and one other roll. My entree was two pieces of beautifully fried fish, and shoestring French fries,and Cole slaw. Best that I’ve ever had ! Another entree was a lamb pasty with vegetables. The crust was marvelous and the lamb gently seasoned. We could not resist the ‘pot pie’ on a light,crust with delicious vegetables. 2 desserts were offered but we must leave room for those on another visit ! The chef takes time to come out to the tables to check about the food,and the staff is VERY attentive . This was a wonderful experience, as every time we attend ! Treat yourself !“

“Played course since the 70's - weekend trips!!!!!“

“This place was in my hotel, Millennium, and it was a great experience!!! The food was actually tremendous. I had a drink, a shrimp cocktail, a couple of wines and the chicken parm. Everything was great!! My server, Hallie McKinnie, was absolutely the best and nicest server I can ever remember!!! Food, ambiance, service were again, top notch!!! This was better than a lot of restaurants I have eaten at. the shrimp cocktail was the best also!!!! Very cool place. they could up their wine list but that's not a big thing here in Buffalo...... IT was very good!!“

“The food was delicious, as were the cocktails we ordered. Gracie was fun to have as our server and once she found out it was my daughter’s birthday, she brought her a complimentary mimosa and a dessert at the end of her meal! I will definitely go there again!“

“Went for my engagement dinner with my partner and was not disappointed! Firstly, we had the best server who was so friendly and accommodating as we initially started out outside, but then my partner was a little cold, so were able to move inside without any interruption to the service experience. She was the best. In terms of the food, I opted for the Pasta Bolognese, which was very yummy. Definitely wish I had some leftovers. My partner who was in a rabbit sort of mood, I suppose and got all appetizers for her dinner, including the bread basket, mussels, and clams. She seemed to really enjoy them a lot, though she mentioned she didn't care as much for the sauce base they were both in. For drinks, I opted for a Classic Cosmopolitan and she had Prosecco. I really enjoyed my Cosmo! Almost got a second one but resisted, haha. This place is definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a nicer than average dinner out with well above average deliciousness.“

“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!“
