“This was some of the best food that I've ever had! it was all seasoned to absolute perfection!! This was my 1st time here and I was so very impressed!! I recommend this place 1000 times!!”
“Fried Green Tomatoes, Brisket, Pulled Pork, Potato Salad and Mac & Cheese with some Corn Bread. Food was good but honestly the service was better! I would say the food was mid, mediocre to good. But the service I received was amazing! My waitress was so pleasant and bubbly. She made the experience nice!”
“So delicious!!! We enjoyed every single thing we ordered. Highly recommended!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Culinary Perfection in Buffalo Buffalo is truly privileged to have a dining establishment as exceptional as Lombardo’s. Much like the gridiron perfection we are witnessing from the Buffalo Bills, led by Josh Allen, Lombardo’s delivers a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the realm of fine dining. Everything about this restaurant exudes excellence—from the impeccably crafted dishes to the warm and inviting atmosphere, from the attentive service to the dedication of its ownership. Watching Tom Lombardo and his son Tommy work together this holiday season is a heartwarming sight that reflects the family values and passion behind this establishment. Simply put, Lombardo’s is a place you shouldn’t miss. It’s more than a meal—it’s an experience that defines culinary perfection.”
“First time here tonight and OmG was so good. The service was great and amazing food. We will definitely be back next time we are in new York!”
“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.”

“Great first day at Spotted Octopus in Rochester! Loved the beer, food and especially the service. The new systems threw the team a few curveballs, but the staff kept their cool and made customer satisfaction the #1 focus. Opening on parade day proved to be the perfect pressure test and they definitely succeeded.”
“I went to lunch with my 12 and 6 year old boys. Fresh and delicious chips and salsa. I got the lunch portion Chimichanga and the boys got ground beef tacos. Everything was absolutely delicious and very fresh. The guacamole that topped the salad with my meal was excellent (wish I would have ordered a side of guac - next time for sure). My picky boys cleaned their plates and we shared a slice of tres leches after - OMG the best cake I've ever eaten!! Highly recommended.”

“It was such a fun evening with co-workers on a Pedal tour. We started and ended at Buffalo Olde Brewery and stopped at 3 others along the way. A Much needed night of Laughter! Driving around, singing karaoke, sharing laughs...nothing better!!! If you have never been to Buffalo Olde Brewery in Lovejoy you need to check it out. It is such a nice spot with bands on Thursday and Saturdays. The service was friendly, and the food was yummy. The mural outside is awesome! A gem for sure.”
“This is an amazing little gem hiding on Maple rd. My daughter and I were looking for a place to eat, something different from the everyday chains and decided to try Roma Thai & Burmese Cuisine. The Samosas are a pocket of perfect spice. I had the Roma Ginger-a healthy and perfect blend of vegatables and giner sauce. The service was excellent! We had a great dining experience and will definately be returning.”
“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!”

“Their food is absolutely delicious. Best thai food and sushi in the area and near a lot of other bars and clubs in the Allen Town area. My go-to Thai food spot. Major plus that they offer vegan options 🌱”
“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.”

“Had a Phenomenal dinner and time at Sinatra's. Went there for our 32nd wedding anniversary. My Bride was ecstatic with everything from the drinks through desert. And if she's happy, I'm happy! On another note this was our first time there. I went over to another table where a couple was waiting for the rest of their party. When I inquired what they have had previously their response was "there isn't anything on the menu that we would not like". I believe that would be 100% true after we experienced the quality with just a few dishes... The beverages were excellent too.”
“This place is special. The service is next to none !!outstanding!! The food is extraordinary to say the least!! Period!! The cocktails are unique and their nuances are more than refreshing. Jake Strawser the owner is the real deal and honestly a pleasure to call my friend. There are now two Ian’s that will not disappoint you. Ian the exemplary Chef and Ian the wonderful Barman!!! Make your reservations now. Trust me.”
“Good Value with a Lovely Ambiance
This place offers good value for the price and ambiance, though the food didn’t quite exceed my expectations. The ambiance was lovely, and the service was nearly perfect - our server was. Our favorite was the duck, which was cooked with crispy skin.
Dover sole is renowned for its delicate, sweet flavor and velvety soft texture with its flaky fillets fall apart effortlessly with a fork. However, in your case, the sole was drier than expected, which might have been due to slight overcooking. Despite this, Dover sole remains a prized choice for its refined taste and texture.
The lamb is a solid choice if you’re very hungry.
For appetizers, the burata was intriguing when fried, but I preferred it in its original form as frying didn’t enhance the dish for me.
The thin layer of steak tartar was served on fatty toast that overpowered the tartar, which was a bit disappointing—I wouldn’t order it again as tartar.
The oysters were not all professionally opened.
The side mushrooms were too bland and not the type I expected, though the side potatoes were a hit with my mom.
Drinks were well-crafted, while others didn’t blend flavors as smoothly. Olive cake is worth trying!
Overall, this is a great spot for a casual dinner. We visited late in the evening, so maybe the chef was tired, which might have affected some dishes. Despite minor imperfections, the overall experience was enjoyable.”

“Have the occasion to make our first visit on our 14th wedding anniversary. Our server / bartender Katie was outstanding and the food was completely off the hook! I would totally recommend everything in the menu... How do I know?... Because we ordered everything off the menu it was that good! A great place to visit and great people!”
“Great cocktails and wine selection. Very creative and delicious. Small plates of beef tartare, and shrimp were tasty, with nice portions. Steak pomms frits large plate was delicious. Chocolate budino topped with crushed pistachio and citrus dusting was amazing. Thanks to our son for the gift certificate.”
“My husband and I were visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this place. So glad we did. Everything we had was amazing, and everyone was so friendly and inviting. I could eat that creamy polenta every morning, and the meatloaf dinner was outrageous! It did not feel like we paid for a meal…it felt like going over to a friend’s house for dinner. Highly recommend!”

“Penne pesto, I added chicken. And Got the extra sauce. Wow it’s delicious ! I will get it again. Thx for this amazing dinner”
“The BEST gluten free pizza ever. Delicious. It just amazed us. Also had the panini and the meatballs and baguette was fabulous. Everything was so fresh. We loved that they had flavored water available too. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. Loved the outdoor seating area. It’s large and comfortable.”

“We Doordash once a week and although convenient, it is super frustrating that we never receive any condiments that we request. It may seem trivial, but what's the point of a chicken McNugget order with absolutely no sauce? Literally every order that I have placed in the past 2 months has had no condiments. Still order because it's what my 5 year old wants for her treat once a week, but come on McDonald's. Nuggets = sauce”

“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.”
“I live in Rochester but ANYtime I go to Buffalo, it's a must to stop in The wings (and all the different sauces) are on point! My favorite sauce is the cajun honey barbecue. I've also had the haddock, shrimp and the salmon cheese steak is to die for!!! Do NOT sleep on this gem. P.S. the cook also caters!!!”
“I love this bakery!! Beautiful grains and delicious baked goods! Intimate atmosphere with delicious coffee drinks. The employees are helpful and keep the establishment very clean. Definitely stop in and grab a crispy cookie or flakey croissant with your morning cup. You won’t be disappointed!”
“My daughter found this on our trip we always try to find something we do not have back home and this was the spot . When I say hands down the best burger I have had we ordered the loaded fries to share and as my daughter says mom ... this is awesome . the staff was amazing and the cook even came out and talked . I will say if you're in the area and looking to try something different it's worth the stop.”
“The food (especially the Boquerones and the Bahn Mi) were fantastic! Also the staff was so friendly and helpful toward our three liquored up friends. The atmosphere was incredible and I would recommend everyone try this place for a lovely casual dinner or a drunk evening out with friends.”

“The food is SO close to the flavours from home. Special shout out to the aam bhorta, fuchka and egg sandwhiches. They even carry shell and core style icecream. The owner is super friendly and custimizes your food to your taste. Staff was super friendly and you can tell by the regular visitors that he is well known in the area!”

“I stopped in yesterday for the 1st time and man oh man is this place a little gem. I was unsure of what to get so the gentleman who was there gave me a piece of the baklava to try...IT WAS ABSOLUTLEY DELICIOUS. I ended up buying a couple pieces of each flavor (cashew, almond, pistachio and traditional). Don't even get me started on the honey cake with pistachios...DROOLSSSS. I will most certainly be back to give the shawarma a try after having such a good experience with the fresh yummy desserts. I am not sure if the guy working that day is the owner or not, but he was very friendly and sweet. I cannot say enough good things about this place!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Buffalo Classic That Lives Up to the Hype!
We had an incredible meal at Chef’s in Buffalo, NY, and it absolutely lived up to its legendary reputation. The spaghetti parm with meatball was out of this world—perfectly cooked pasta smothered in gooey, melted cheese and topped with a rich, flavorful meatball. We also tried the sandwich parm, and it was just as delicious—crispy, hearty, and smothered in that unforgettable red sauce.
Speaking of the sauce—it was the real star of the show. Bold, savory, slightly sweet, and perfectly balanced. You can tell it’s a family recipe perfected over generations. The portions were generous, the service warm and welcoming, and the old-school Italian-American vibe made the experience even better.
Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Chef’s is a must-stop. You won’t be disappointed!”
“Osteria 166!! Absolutely the best food in Buffalo and our favorite hands down Italian restaurant with the best meatballs I ever had besides my grandma's, that I haven't had since she passed, so these are now the best I can get. The menu is great with something for everyone and whatever you're in the mood for from flatbread pizza to homemade pasta with the most amazing sauces, delicious salads, fantastic steak and the freshest Italian desserts. if you can save room. We have to get them to go home. It's so hard to decide that we get several things and go family style sharing and going around the menu. bravo Nani in the meatballs! they are a must! great friendly service and beautiful atmosphere. sometimes the acoustic music in the bar. what a gem we love walking distance to the theater district, we try to go before shows and park and enjoy the evening starting with the best meal and drinks before a show downtown. Don't think twice about trying this place! make reservations.”
“The restaurant is Italian and has a rustic European look - we were told the 2nd floor is normally used for parties of 8 and up. The patio is open for seating and is dog-friendly but it was too warm today so we ate inside. The bar and kitchen are in the center and there is seating on both sides. We started with drinks and complimentary focaccia bread. My husband had salmon wrapped in a puff pastry served with asparagus, his sister had Ziti alla Genovese (see menu photo), and I had Gnocchi Bolognese. We shared two desserts - lemoncello cake and a strawberries and cream gelato. The service was great (Gianni), the temperature inside not too cold or hot, and the bathroom was clean. We definitely recommend!”

“I had an amazing time celebrating my birthday dinner with my family at Olivers! A special shout out to Devin our fabulous server who made our experience extra special. Our steaks were delicious and all our sides that accompanied our dinner were perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better night and highly recommend Olivers for any occasion. Thank you for a wonderful evening!”
“Dear Buffalo Chophouse Team, I just wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for the incredible experience we had at your restaurant last night. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was elegant and welcoming — the perfect setting for a memorable evening. Our waitress and assistant waitress were absolutely outstanding. Their attentiveness, warmth, and professionalism made us feel truly cared for, and their service elevated the entire night. And the food — spectacular! Every dish was beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. It's clear that your kitchen takes great pride in what they do. Thank you again for such a delightful evening. We'll definitely be back, and we'll be recommending Buffalo Chophouse to friends and family. Warm regards, Claudio”

“I tried the rose velvet latte for the first time about a week ago and I haven't been able to get my mind since! It is so good- smooth, and not overpowering. This is definitely the best coffee shop in Buffalo, and it has such a calming atmosphere. I love it here!”
“This location is better run than our US government and your local Chick Fil A. The service hear is borderline world class. The employees are boarder line robotic the way they work and their efficiency and quality. Even Elon musk would be jealous of this staff. The staff is so friendly you would think they are on something…which they are!….they are high on happiness! The manager, is always on point, knows everyone’s order, and sometimes strikes up a conversation about Antimatter. She seems to be very interested in this topic so if you have a chance, bring it up to her.”
“Just had Radah for the first time yesterday! I got a mystery box and mannnnn it did not disappoint!!! Everything was absolutely AMAZING!!! So soft, and taste was on point. You can tell some love and hard work really went into these products! 10/10 recommend and will definitely be coming back for more!”
“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!”
“If you're craving a delicious burger and crispy wings, BurgerIM is the place to be! Their burgers are incredibly flavorful, with a variety of options to suit every taste—from juicy classic beef patties to unique specialty options. The buns are always soft, and the toppings are fresh and perfectly complement each burger. The wings are a standout too—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they come in a variety of mouth-watering sauces. Whether you like them spicy, sweet, or somewhere in between, BurgerIM has something for every wing lover. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick, so you won’t be waiting long for your tasty food. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the mood for great burgers and wings!”
“Update on second visit: beef with onions and scallions and eggplant and wonton soup and Kung Pao shrimp alllllll very tasty. Looking forward to third visit. Highly recommended: I think this place is right up there with Home Taste, also on Delaware, for best authentically-Chinese food in Western New York. And they have "American Chinese" food for your friends who are not as adventurous as you. Plenty of space, attentive service without rushing, at least at lunch. Sliced fish with Chili Oil tender and properly spicy; Cumin Beef strongly flavored as it should be. Ham Hock with brown sauce (and bok Choy) tender and flavorful. Green beans a little al dente and crunchy inside while being singed on the outside. Will return!”
“Christine was amazing at serving our table! We had a bunch of us come in without reservation, and resurgence still provided the upmost service for us! Very happy with the quality drinks and service.”
“Thank you so much for serving my mom non-garlic and non-onion Dal tadka with paneer naan. Very delicious hot served meal to enjoy . We loved the peshawari naan, malai kofta, paneer tikka masala and Mango Lassi. The taste at fullest. Thanks to Chef of Buffalo Tikka House.”
“Have the occasion to make our first visit on our 14th wedding anniversary. Our server / bartender Katie was outstanding and the food was completely off the hook! I would totally recommend everything in the menu... How do I know?... Because we ordered everything off the menu it was that good! A great place to visit and great people!”
“Absolutely delicious food! Large number of vegan, vegetarian, and non veg options. We had the dosai, chicken masala, appam, and samosas. Staff was super attentive and helpful. Dining room was clean and spacious, plenty of room to maneuver wheelchairs or scooters.”
“Great cocktails and wine selection. Very creative and delicious. Small plates of beef tartare, and shrimp were tasty, with nice portions. Steak pomms frits large plate was delicious. Chocolate budino topped with crushed pistachio and citrus dusting was amazing. Thanks to our son for the gift certificate.”
“Great experience once again. Emily was our bartender. She remembered us from when we came in last hockey season. So nice, friendly and inviting. Her drinks were superb and the food was incredible. Go visit, ask for Emily and see for yourself. We will be back!”
“Oh my gosh, so we went out to dinner this evening after going to the movies. We went to Winfield Pub in South Buffalo. All I can say is WOW. My husband saw that it had a 4.7 star rating and we'd never been there. From start to finish it was a wonderful experience. They have several different beers to offer and even some seasonal ones. Their drink menu is extensive but not daunting and their drinks are super creative. For our starters we got the hop fries with a garlic parmesan aioli which regulars call "crack sauce" I can see why....it's SO good! My husband got the Snout and Stout which is their take on french onion soup but with a pork broth and milk stout added to it with pieces of pork in it. We both tried it and that too was truly delicious it was a great spin on a classic dish. For our entrees my husband got the ribeye and I got the bbq mac and cheese. My husband loved his ribeye it was cooked perfectly and the sides were amazing. My mac and cheese was probably one of the best mac and cheeses I've ever had. They added burnt pork ends and blue cheese to it and it adds such a depth of flavor and richness this comfort food feels so fancy. I enjoyed it thoroughly. For dessert we shared a piece of their Guinness cake. Again, it was rich and delicious the frosting wasn't overly sweet. We brought a little bit of everything home and are looking forward to eating the rest of it tomorrow. Our server was absolutely lovely and so kind and funny. The chef at this restaurant is so creative and thoughtful with every aspect of the experience right down to bringing us the bill in a Christmas Card. This place is 5 stars!”
“Breezy Burrito has excellent burritos, and their chips and salsa are also very good. Big fan of their hot sauces.
Service here is quick and friendly.”
“We held my daughter’s bridal shower at The Tewksbury Lodge. The room is beautiful. The food was delicious. The staff were exceptional, really the very best. I highly recommend.”
“Love the people almost as much as the food. Great comfortable atmosphere and just an overall great experience every time I eat here.”
“The show was amazing, funny and emotional. I loved the show and the actors. The director (Bobby J) is an amazing host and director. While the place is a bit expensive, the show was totally worth it.”
“Popped in for their one year anniversary where they were offering up dollar slices and I got the New York style and it was solid. Definitely looking forward to visiting again to check out some of their cocktails. I really like their business model and that they are a tip-less establishment because of their practices in paying their employees which is cool.”
“My husband and I stopped at Froth during a 1,000 mile Bicycle Ride for charity. EVERY staff was amazing, we met one of the owners and his girlfriend who were equally amazing! They even gave us items to use as giveaways for our ride. When it comes to beer and food, Froth is unmatched! Their beers are amazing, the food is amazing and the atmosphere is so cool. We wish we lived closer to be able to come more often but will definitely be back!”
“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.”

“What a great restaurant!! The food was phenomenal! I had my birthday dinner at Bella Ciao and I was very impressed. The Lobster Mafalde was loaded with lobster and so delicious. The Rice Balls were out of this world. The Peanut Butter pie was the best I ever had. Also, Casey, the Manager was so accommodating and personable. She just couldn't do enough for us. I just can't wait to go back!! (I am still thinking about the Three Cheese Garlic Bread) The BEST!”

“We’ve been here for the last two years of our anniversary and to celebrate our engagement, and went back for my partners birthday. They truly saved the day after we were saddened by going to Coco Bar & Bistro’s service, we tried here again and it was one of the best meals we’ve had in buffalo. I had the winter chowder and my partner had the maple dijon glazed pork belly and both were phenomenal. and the wait staff was so nice!”
“Best sandwich I’ve ever had! The pickles are amazing too! Cute spot for lunch, definitely will be back!”
“kept seeing the fire fish posted so made the 30 minute drive to finally try it and it exceeded expectations!!! Absolutely one of the best fish fry's I've ever had!”
“This place is absolutely delicious. Their lamb haneeth is one of a kind and they truly have some of the best white rice. The owner is very sweet as well. If you want to experience something different in Buffalo, Shibam is the place to go! I will be coming back to try their chicken next time.”
“Osteria 166!! Absolutely the best food in Buffalo and our favorite hands down Italian restaurant with the best meatballs I ever had besides my grandma's, that I haven't had since she passed, so these are now the best I can get. The menu is great with something for everyone and whatever you're in the mood for from flatbread pizza to homemade pasta with the most amazing sauces, delicious salads, fantastic steak and the freshest Italian desserts. if you can save room. We have to get them to go home. It's so hard to decide that we get several things and go family style sharing and going around the menu. bravo Nani in the meatballs! they are a must! great friendly service and beautiful atmosphere. sometimes the acoustic music in the bar. what a gem we love walking distance to the theater district, we try to go before shows and park and enjoy the evening starting with the best meal and drinks before a show downtown. Don't think twice about trying this place! make reservations.”
“Autark is a chill community gathering spot. The staff are welcoming, and the beer is consistently good. It's good for a quick stop or a leisurely evening with friends.”
“delish food, friendly service and will definitely be back again! check them out..you'll be glad u did!”
“We always have a great experience here. The place is cozy and comfortable, everyone is welcoming and the food is excellent. Had New Year’s Eve dinner and the specials were amazing, especially the grouper dish. One of our go to places!”
“What a great atmosphere! The food & drinks were absolutely amazing 🤩 Thank you!”
“This is such a cool, new and chill restaurant and bar. I really enjoying old fashions, and I know how difficult it is to make one and always make it the same. The bartenders have such great skills and training that I couldn’t even tell which ones made them, as they each tasted the same and amazing.”
“The entire dining experience was incredible! We definitely found our new favorite restaurant!”
“I rented out the front area for my birthday party and I couldn’t have asked for a better time! The service was amazing, the bar was decorated beautifully and food and drinks were delicious! They even allowed me to have a specialty cocktail. We were able to come in advance to drop off some decorations I wanted to put out and we got to try the cocktail beforehand too. There were different party packages to choose from which I appreciated as well. I live nearby so I’ve been in to visit many times and I’ve always had a good experience so I knew I was making a good choice trusting them for my party. I would recommend Ciao to anyone! 🩷”
“Intimate vibe. lovely decor. food was delicious- loved the wonton starter, scallop fettuccine, and braised short ribs. Service was great! Will be returning!”
“5/5. I cannot say enough about my recent experience hosting a get together for 12 people on Sept. 7th. We used the private room, great for an intimate gathering of our size. The food and drinks were perfect and the staff made it all the better. Thank you and we will see you soon.”
“I had the pleasure of dining there with a party of five last night. I must say, it was one of the best meals I've had in my life. Highly recommended.”
“Fabulous food! Very nice owner! Everything was delicious, from the appetizers to the main menus and cocktails. Definitely recommend!”
“Food was great! Beef on weck, chicken wings, steak sandwich were all perfectly cooked and tasted great. Service was so unsatisfactory and the waitress truly gave a lackluster effort. I will gladly go to this place again as long as I get a different server.”
“My boyfriend and I went there last night for dinner! It was his first time and we both loved it. We got the calamari, ceviche, shrimp and grits and the penne paste! The calamari is by far the best I have ever had! The bartender Will was amazing and made our dining experience that much more enjoyable! We cannot wait to go back!”
“Frankie Primos is our favorite. Authentic cuisine just like you’d find in grandma’s kitchen. Everything is perfect every time we come.”
“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.”
“Fattey Beer is a fun stop, with a great selection of brews. You are sure to find one you like when you stop here! Friendly staff, nice location right in downtown Buffalo. Smallish patio in back with seating outside in front as well. Mug Club option available.”

“For an enjoyable experience in downtown Buffalo, we recommend a visit to Southern Tier Brewery. The establishment features a large central screen and individual table-side televisions, ensuring optimal viewing of sporting events. Service is consistently reliable. During our recent visit, we were assisted by Shania, whose food recommendations were excellent. Checkout images for some inspiration.”

They were full of smiles and had positive attitudes the whole time. I am actively nursing and they offered a banker room for me to pump so I can do it comfortably. The restaurant was clean,neat and the food was also delicious. 10 out of 10 recommend and will be coming back!”

“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.”

“There's no better Chinese food take-out in Western NY. Great quality and quantity. Best prices. Always served hot and it's double packaged to keep it hot until you get home. We love the Sesame chicken and fantastic boneless spare ribs. We go once or twice a month. Food is always hot and ready before the promised wait period. Never had to wait more than 15 minutes from the time you call or order at the counter. Genuine supreme Chinese cooking.... Fast and hot!”
“What a great restaurant!! The food was phenomenal! I had my birthday dinner at Bella Ciao and I was very impressed. The Lobster Mafalde was loaded with lobster and so delicious. The Rice Balls were out of this world. The Peanut Butter pie was the best I ever had. Also, Casey, the Manager was so accommodating and personable. She just couldn't do enough for us. I just can't wait to go back!! (I am still thinking about the Three Cheese Garlic Bread) The BEST!”

“I made reservations which I received a email confirmation when I arrive there the person working up front rudely cut me off and stated “we do not have reservations” might you when I made reservations for my Niece which just Graduated from College this is where I wanted to take her to eat. So I drove 10hrs from SC and when I filled out my reservations I did fill out the special occasion with the description celebrating this event. No came to acknowledge it but we seen planting of birthday wishes from the host. Atmosphere was great food was great but the hospitality 👎🏽”
“I tried the rose velvet latte for the first time about a week ago and I haven't been able to get my mind since! It is so good- smooth, and not overpowering. This is definitely the best coffee shop in Buffalo, and it has such a calming atmosphere. I love it here!”
“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.”
“I brought my wife a chicken shawarma home. We don't live very close to the restaurant, but it was so good, she insists I drive all the way there to get take-out from now on. It was delicious! The chicken was cooked to perfection, the spices so flavorful, and the portion so much that she couldn't finish it. (She almost didn't let me have any, because she wanted to finish it 'later'! herslef! haha)”
“This is an amazing little gem hiding on Maple rd. My daughter and I were looking for a place to eat, something different from the everyday chains and decided to try Roma Thai & Burmese Cuisine. The Samosas are a pocket of perfect spice. I had the Roma Ginger-a healthy and perfect blend of vegatables and giner sauce. The service was excellent! We had a great dining experience and will definately be returning.”
“Great food and beautiful atmosphere! Been here many times and it's been a great experience every time!! Enjoyed Mothers day with my large family today and we had a wonderful brunch buffet! Great service all around!!!”
