“food was great, awesome atmosphere. but what stold the show was our server Jillian. it was my pleasure to have her as a server. you go girl!“

“The waitress were attentive. We waited long time for the food, about 35 minutes. I ordered the Chilean sea bass. The macadamia nut was a little burned. The portion was small. The vegetables came with it consisted of inexpensive ingredients: squash and carrots. I didn't like the mashed potato. I only took one bite.“

“The food was good. Crystal was an excellent server. The peanut butter pie was particularly delicious.“

“Charlie The Butcher continues to be the premier Beef on Weck of Western New York! Thank you for all you do for the community as well! Merry Christmas!“

“Have not been to the restaurant side since Anthony took over ownership. It has a completely different vibe! The food may seem like what you have seen on a menu before, but their take on it is absolutely fabulous! I have never had a clam chowder like the one served here. It is amazing! I would return for the clam chowder alone. The sweet potato fries may look typical, but their taste-like nothing I have ever had before. Not sure what their secret seasoning is. The wings rock. We left with doggy bags because we didn’t want to waste any of the delicious food! The chicken piccata, chicken Parmesan- might want to consider sharing! If you have been here before 2023 and been disappointed, you need to revisit! Trust me! And bring even the most finicky of your teens! They will be happy as well!“

“From beginning to end, everything was top notch. The waiter was very attentive, and the owner was very pleasant. The food was delicious. From the deviled eggs, calamari, chicken Milanese, and the scallops on tomato based risotto, everything was delicious! And to top it all off was two different kinds of cakes. Both were big and wonderful. We will definitely be going back!“

“Great food; reasonable prices; friendly staff“

“It's a nice family place to eat. The food and service is good. We went there many years ago and then they closed for a few years. Now they reopened and it's like it never closed. The menu offers a wide variety to please everyone so you won't be disappointed. Enjoy!“

“Absolutely wonderful experience. I don't get out to EA often but when I do I always try to stop at Taste. I love their use of seasonal ingredients, their food is always so fresh and delicious and presented beautifully and everyone working there is always so lovely and pleasant.“

“Like a light at the end of a dark tunnel, Rodney’s came to the rescue! We initially went for lunch at a very new, trendy new spot on Lakeshore Road. After a 20 minute wait, we were seated. The place was so loud! No band. No loud music. Just loud everything else. People talking, dishes clanking and who knows what else, it was so loud. There’s no way you could carry on a conversation without shouting. So we left right away. Next we tried a popular seafood restaurant nearby and were treated like second-class citizens just by inquiring how long the wait was. Out of there. Rodney’s was almost across the street so we went there. Best idea ever! Our hostess was friendly. Our server was a hoot. Funny, helpful and got everything exactly right. The food was excellent too. A cozy, clean spot right by the lake. I recommend Rodney’s highly.“

“Nice atmosphere, great food and service!“

“Always a friendly environment!!“

“I was in Buffalo for a game and made sure I came here twice. The Cajun Honey BBQ wings were haunting... It's hard to put into words just how good they were... it's like meeting that person you feel like you've known all of your life... like scoring a TD or making a game changing tackle in the 4th quarter... it's like getting a hug from your Mammy.“

“We stopped in while visiting East Aurora and was made to feel at home. The bartender was great and friendly, the covered deck was relaxing and the food was awesome. Definitely recommend.“

“My husband and I went to the Dog Bar last Thursday. The person who returned my call for a reservation gave us a very nice table - I had wanted a quiet table for two. The waitress, Anne (I think I got the name right), was fantastic with a nice personality. She answered any questions about the menu perfectly and her timing with the courses was spot-on. The steaks were cooked as requested. The atmosphere was nice and cozy and there were so many interesting things to read and look at on the walls that if conversation isn't your thing, you could amuse yourself by looking around. All-in-all, we had a really nice time and we both enjoyed our meals. Thank you to the friendly staff and good chefs at the Dog Bar!“

“Food and service was wonderful“

“Food was amazing!! Our server - Misty- was the absolute best!!! Looking forward to our next visit !!“

“Once again, East Aurora didn’t disappoint! We stopped in at 189 Burger for dinner. Service was outstanding and the food was delicious! The burger was juicy, the chicken was fresh, and those hand cut sweet potato fries were amazing! There were lots of beers available, and their unique mixed drink menu had a good variety. We’ll definitely be back again soon!“

“My boyfriend & I came here for dinner while on an overnight in East Aurora. Outstanding food and service! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive and even changed the channel for us on the TV closest to us. The Kobe beef burger was phenomenal! Highly recommend. The service was more welcoming than other restaurants we went to in the area.“

“Had a great lunch @ Wallenwein’s…they have an extensive menu with lots of great items from which to choose. They were open when a number of other places were closed…a plus! Very reasonably priced, great service and decorated with cool historical memorabilia . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“This is the best breakfast we have had in forever. Worth the ride. Excellent food, great and friendly service. Highly recommend!“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Mangia Ristorante & Caffé is an absolute gem!
From the moment you walk in, you feel that cozy, authentic Italian vibe – like you’re being welcomed into someone’s home 🇮🇹🍝

The food? Absolutely delicious!
Fresh pasta, rich sauces, and every bite bursting with real Italian flavor. You can tell it’s made with love. Definitely a place that lives up to its name — Mangia! (Eat!)

The service was warm and attentive, and the place is clean and inviting.
If you’re in the area and craving genuine Italian food, this is the spot.
I’ll 100% be coming back again!“

“Went here for Valentines day with my wonderful father. The Alfredo and the Seafood Bisque were phenomenal!!! Have been here multiple times before- My daughter absolutely loves the fried mini tacos. Also the February drink specials were so cute and the Lovers Lane mule was delicious. Hayley is amazing as always and Sammi, who was training while serving, was very attentive and brought everything out at the perfect time and temperature. My water cup was never empty and the place was cleanly as well!“

“Wow this place was extremely respectful and ready to serve anyone. We ordered and received our food in 20 min or less. Very tasty too.?

Vegetarian options: Excellent choice for just veggies. Yummy too.

Kid-friendliness: They have hight chairs for children. Excellent food for kids to.

Parking: Plenty of space to park.

“Wonderful, laid back place. After a day of walking around the village; my man and I stopped in for bowling, drinks, and some video games. Very enjoyable. Good drafts. The bar staff was very hospitable and friendly. Shoutout to Dominic and Kirstin, you all are awesome!“

“My wife and I went tonight to have a nice dinner. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. My wife had the two way French onion soup. Both were excellent, we even got an extra to take home to my son and he loved it as well. I had never had a roasted salad before and am definitely glad I tried it. The roasting adds a nice twist to it. Both of our entrees were also extremely well made and delicious. We also very much enjoyed the atmosphere. Overall a really great dining experience. We even had a slight mishap that was very flukey. The owner handled it immediately and went above and beyond in doing so. If you’re looking for a nice sit down restaurant, we would highly recommend it and we will definitely be back.“

“Stopped in this evening after a day on the slopes with my son the service and atmosphere was amazing. Food was delicious and just what we wanted after being out in the cold. We would recommend this place for a family dinner or casual outing“

“I always go here. These guys save the day for me. Desmond and Amy have made my morning multiple times after a long 12 hour shift on the road. It's nice to have a great place that isn't McDonalds to get some good food at odd hours!“

“The food and service was good. Be aware! The prices on the menu are different from what they charge you. My meal in the menu was $18.99. I was charged $23.99 for shrimp scampi and much smaller portion from past order. Fish fry was listed as $15.99 was charged 21.99. They need to let you know the prices are higher than what is listed in their menu. ?‍♀️“

“very pricey and small portions..coworker got steak in the grass sandwich and sweet potato fries and with tax and takeout fee it was 24 dollars..souvlaki wrap and fries was 17 dollars..a super basic cold tuna sandwich with fries was 16 dollars..this place used to be great but has went downhill the past few years..they've lost my business“
