“Our fish fry was spot on. Perfect light batter and ample plate of fresh cut fries. We couldn't finish it all. Will be back. Kudos to wait and cook staff.“

“Great food; reasonable prices; friendly staff“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“We made reservations and were seated immediately. Our Server was Lauren and very friendly. Our food was delicious and came pretty quickly. Everything was perfect and prices are decent. Definitely recommend dining here, we will be back!!“

“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.“

“portions are huge 😳 great service.will definitely go again“

“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!“

“This place is amazing! The food was delicious. I had the chicken souvlaki wrap, ate 1/2 for my lunch and the second 1/2 for dinner. The next day I wished I had saved the second half. My friend had a burger and it was huge. She really enjoyed it. Also, the fries were fine perfectly. Crispy and served hot.
I've already recommended The Iron Kettle to anyone I talk to.
I'm visiting from WA State and plan on taking my husband here when he arrives in town.“

“Delicious food, great service and pleasant atmosphere! Perfection!“

“Always a friendly environment!!“

“Maybe we were overhyped. Everything I heard and read said this place was legendary. But the menu was limited: beef on Weck and buffalo wings... or if you want a pizza, you can get the same options but on a crust with cheese. Otherwise, fairly standard sports bar apps.
The inside seemed too dark for a lunch, and the 'outside' area with lots of snow was crowded. Service was polite, but slow for such a small menu. We're told the place always gets a wait by noon and yet it takes 25 minutes to get your food even with so few options for entrees seems uncalculated and unnecessarily slow.
Food was good, but I'd say I've had equal quality wings and sauce at a bit fairer price. And the beef on weck seemed on par with Charlie the butcher, but comes with a handful of chips, not fries, at $15 for just the sandwich? I couldn't go 5 stars. Cost of business, I suppose

Parking: Big lot hidden behind the snow bank, but the access wasn't easy to locate.“

“I went here for the first time by myself probably around 3:30pm. I got sat down right away. The waitress check on me multiple times and was really nice. I got a bacon cheeseburger and it tasted like it’s homemade. I sat facing towards a window that you could see the lake out of. There’s a lounge side and a dinner side and I sat in the lounge side.“

“Nice atmosphere, great food and service!“

“Food and service was wonderful“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“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!“

“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!“

“These folks never disappoint! The food, the spirits and the staff all rock!“

“Have benn dining at Mangia for many yrars and have hanhad many great meals and some not so great. My most recent visit I odered a special the butternut squash ravioli. It could be the best ravioli dish I have ever had. I hope they put it on the prtmanrnt menu.“

“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.“

“Great food and fast service! The bartender was attentive and friendly. The filet was great!“

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

“Don't be deceived by the outside of this gem. It looks a little dark and dingy. Walk inside to the high ceilings and a bright warm atmosphere. This place is dripping with nastalgia. Tons of old photos, pinball, bowling lanes, air hockey, pop-a-shot and a nice selection of brews. Fantastic neighborhood bar with perks!“

“it was all you can eat crab leg night, I am not a fish eater, but who had it was happy with meal. I had beef on weck,fries, beef was a little fatty for me. fries were just warm . waitress was rushed,understandably. would like to go back again, just not on that night.“
