“My husband and I had dinner here last weekend for our wedding anniversary. The atmosphere is fantastic. Warm chill vibe and everyone is so pleased to be there. Our waiter Johnathan was AMAZING! Attentive answered any and all questions and had us laughing the whole time! The young lady at the hostess stand was amazing as well. She never missed a step even as the people kept coming. Cora (oh I hope I spelled that right) was also an absolute delight! She was so sweet and friendly and just handled everything so gracefully. As someone who works in the industry I was just so over the moon with every thing that I experienced while in this restaurant. 10 out of 10 DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!!”
“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.”
“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!!!”
“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!”

“We met the guy Greg at another restaurant told me Unc about the cooking spot finally visited today. We purchased the Haddock and Red velvet waffle. Place is cleaned and respectfully served. They even threw the Ted hot sauce, water, and other things to go. The time frame is good safe hours open and close. We will be back to show more support and will tell others.”

“This is our go-to place when we visit Buffalo. The atmosphere is awesome, the food is amazing, and the beer is fantastic. The highlight of our visits is reconnecting with Christine, beer docent extraordinaire. We always enjoy our chats with her. Looking forward to our next visit.”
“I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to celebrate an occasion with treats! Mallory and her team always knock it out of the park with their creativity, and their quality is consistent especially for working with fruit.”

“Fantastic food, the califlower with green goddess was amazing and we adored the gnocchi dinner and cod entree special with toasted olives! Helpful and attentive staff with cozy intimate vibes made this the perfect place to relax with upscale entrees made for royalty. We'll be back!”
“Wow!!!!!! I cannot believe I have never eaten at Chef's!! That was fantastic!! The spaghetti parm I had to try....it lived up to all the hype and reviews. Thanks Kenzie....our server...was absolutely amazing!! The nostalgia of the place also added to the incredible dinner.”

“This week I was here for 1 week with my father in the Hospital. These ladies and gentlemen that work here are absolutely amazing. The high volume, long lines were so well worked by these individuals, they kept the line moving fast and kept a professional caring attitude!! Joannie was amazing and shined her smile to spread the positive vibe this place gave. #1 best Tim Hortons around!”
“The customer service here is really nice, and it’s open 24 hours, which is super convenient. It’s one of the best spots for healthy food, especially for healthcare workers. The only downside for the general public is that entry is a bit restricted, so it’s not as easy for everyone to access.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — My Favorite Tim Hortons Ever! ❤️☕️✨
This Tim Hortons is honestly the BEST one around. The staff is always so friendly, welcoming, and on point. A couple of them even recognize me when I walk in, and that just makes my whole day 🤗💛
I had a little issue with the Tim Hortons app (corporate stuff 🙄📱), but the team here handled everything perfectly. They were patient, kind, and super understanding — even though it wasn’t their fault at all. Absolute angels 😇💕
Every visit is fast, smooth, and made with care. Huge shoutout to Alexandre and the whole crew — you all crush it every single day. ❤️🔥
Highly recommend this location! If you want great coffee, great service, and great people, this is the spot. ☕️😍🙌”
“Great prompt service 2/16/2026 11pm, only issue is the fountain sodas tastes horrible which is due to not cleaning regularly the fountain nossels. The longer they aren't cleaned the more bitter the sodas tastes. I'll swing by again in a week to see if this was done by ordering a soda. If I get the same bitter taste I'll have to go up the line. But I'm sure y'all will take care of this issue. I'm a retired RGM & had ours done every 24 hours. What a difference it makes :)”
“This McDonald's (Niagara) is actually the best one in the city. You actually get your food in 5 min and not 15. It's hot or at least warm and the kids behind the counter don't treat you like your making them work. It's also cleaner than most and they don't let homeless people walk around inside unless they plan on ordering something.”
“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”
“I had an excellent experience at the Crumbl Cookies location in Williamsville! From the moment I walked in, everything was clean, organized, and welcoming. The cookies were fresh, warm, and absolutely delicious- definitely lived up to the hype.
A special shoutout to Josh, who was especially helpful and went above and beyond to make sure my order was perfect. Great customer service like that really makes a difference.
Highly recommend this location if you’re looking for amazing cookies and friendly service. I’ll definitely be back!”
“This is the Best Indian spot in Buffalo. The service and hospitality is great and the food is even better. I recommend trying the shrimp tikka masala if you ever come by. This is my go too eating out spot!!!!”

“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.”
“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!!!”
“Great experience overall! Been trying to get by and try this pizzeria for a while, live in NF and trek to Buffalo weekly. Was completely with the stop! Friendly, quaint, and pizza was excellent! Love the Detroit style as ingredients were fresh and pizza baked to perfection for us honestly. Will definitely return!”
“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!”

“I recently visited Bamboo Ridge in Buffalo, NY and overall had a good dining experience with a few mixed impressions.
We ordered the orange chicken, egg noodles, spring rolls, fried dumplings, and the eggplant ridge. The portion sizes were great — definitely generous — and everything arrived hot and flavorful. The orange chicken was especially enjoyable, and the appetizers like the spring rolls and fried dumplings were tasty and satisfying.
One thing to note is that the egg noodles were not the same noodles described on the menu. Instead of the expected noodles, they used ramen noodles. While this was a little surprising, the dish was still very flavorful and enjoyable overall.
The main downside for me was the cleanliness of the bathroom, which was disappointing and took away slightly from the overall experience.
Overall, Bamboo Ridge offers good portion sizes and tasty, hot food, but I hope they improve attention to cleanliness to match the quality of their dishes.”
Fine Dining
“Went for dinner on Easter Sunday, Staff was great and atmosphere as always top shelf. My wife had filet it was perfect, I had rack of lamb, but it was not a rack but 2 rack bones with 3 inches of meat hanging off, I could not even cut the meat with a steak knife, had to send it back to be cut. beware when you order a rack $70”
“Everything was phenomenal from start to finish. We celebrated my husband graduating from college. The service was outstanding, the food was incredible, and the company made for a perfect night out. Every dish far exceeded our expectations in both quality and flavor. You can tell a lot of care goes into every part of the experience. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this restaurant to others.”
“The service was top notch. From the Reservation Desk, the Maitre' D, our waiter Chris, and all the staff...just excellence in service. Food was fabulous! Cocktail and wine menu are excellent. Truly a 5 star experience! We stopped in for a one night stay at the Delavan and so happy that we chose to dine here.”

“Just got home from taking our son out for his birthday. Family of 5 and every one of us got a delicious meal with friendly service. Thanks for helping make our son's 26th a good one!”
“Had the best dinner out in a very long time. Sea Bass special. Not sure I would have ordered it if the dish was written out. Too many things added in that I ultimately didn't know what they were. Not a big pesto fan and the dish came in a bath of creamy green with an odd looking chutney of sorts on top. The green was a fantastic pesto tinged super flavorful sauce and the topping was a grand mix of sweet, savory and nut crunch, a fantastic meal.”
Cheap Eats

“We're from Indiana and It was great stopping in to see our cousin who owns Mint. It was such a great time catching up and seeing what a great place she has put together. Wonderful food and perfect atmosphere. I would love to bring my acoustic duo from here and play for an evening in Buffalo sometime. This would be our kind of place!”
“We were there late morning on a Tuesday. The waitress Sharon was very friendly. We started with the coffee. It was very good and I don’t normally drink coffee. It was a cold day in December though. Needed something to warm me up. I got their 10yr anniversary skillet. Highly recommend it. It has scrambled eggs, spicy Italian sausage, potatoes, green peppers and mozzarella cheese melted over the top. DELICIOUS! My wife had the #3 which is scrambled eggs, home fries and choice of meat (she chose turkey sausage) with Texas toast. She said it hit the spot. Definitely going back again.”
“Service was excellent (thank you David) Food and excellent, the bartenders were excellent. 10 out of 10”
“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!”
“Best place in town. The food is fantastic and always consistent. Reasonably priced as well.”
“Creative and innovative cocktails. The menu is carefully created by extremely talented chef’s The owners Tony, Jess and Ed are always ready to make your dining experience extra special”
“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.”
“Got the mini pancakes with Nutella, strawberries and brownies. they were sooo good!! went in pretty close to closing (around 12:30am), yet they were still very nice and patient. I had planned on ordering the bubble sticks, but ordered mini pancakes because I wasn’t sure what they were. The guy was very patient explaining it to me. They even filled up my Stanley for me and asked if I wanted ice🙂🙂 10/10 desserts, 10/10 employees”
“Attended the K-pop kids dance party, amazing time, atmosphere was very kid friendly, amazing staff. The kids had a blast! Highly recommend and will be back!”
“What a wonderful evening at Beacon Grille! The atmosphere, the cocktails, the staff and the food…. A 10!!!!”
“Outstanding variety of well prepared quality foods. Would recommend”
“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!”
“The food was The bomb, the drinks was the bomb, the waitress was the bomb !!”
“Fantastic food, the califlower with green goddess was amazing and we adored the gnocchi dinner and cod entree special with toasted olives! Helpful and attentive staff with cozy intimate vibes made this the perfect place to relax with upscale entrees made for royalty. We'll be back!”
“Great bar physically. Food tasted good. The wait staff were unappealing asthetically. Looked like they had a dishwasher walking around collecting dishes who was unkempt.”
“I recently coordinated a wedding where the couple hired Fat Bob's to cater their event. Ashley, the catering coordinator, was easy to communicate with and managed the food and guests flawlessly. The food was amazing and I can't wait to recommend Fat Bob's to my other clients!”
“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.”
“It so fun doing Rocky Horror at the Screening Room! Plus all the other different events the venue hosts makes it a go to destination!”
“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.”
“White Rabbit is an awesome place to have a special dessert with family or on a date. They have an awesome variety of traditional and sensational options. Recently went to the Henrietta, NY location and Brandon was an awesome host that took care of my family. We sat in the front corner booth which was perfect for the kids. Loved our desserts and we will definitely be back.”
“Love their pickles so much! Always getting them added at places that offer them. The pickled red onions are to die for!”
“First time dining at Bobby J’s and loved it!!! We will be going back!!”
“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.”
“First visit and the customer service very good and also fast service and delicious food. Recommend trying Teton”
“We went to Shango’s for my daughter’s birthday. We were not disappointed, the food was delicious. It’ a small restaurant, so you need reservations. This is definitely a five star restaurant. I would go back again in a heartbeat.”
“Perfect for late night tapas and wine with the girls. Friendly bartenders. Delicious olive oil cake!”
“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!”
“Was our first time going to this place. Was a little loud but it was okay. Food was delicious everything we order was so good they got a great cooker. Waitress was very nice and polite very professional and there was a gentleman don't know if he is the owner or manager with a beard super nice awesome person always made sure if we were okay. We definitely will be going back to eat.”
“The BEST fish fry I have ever had! The cornmeal fish was to die for and the collard greens were 12 out of 10. Highly recommended!”
“A delightful and might I say NECESSARY vessel for the moodier moods of Buffalo.
When it gets busy the space can easily feel crowded, so I prefer to go during the week when it's quieter- there is a small patio area in the front with a few chairs and tables that's nice to go out to though, especially in warm weather. The only thing I would like to see improved is the menu website, which is difficult to read and not the easiest to navigate on my mobile device.
*** edit: the website is so much better! Thank you!***
Other than that, The Merry Shelley is a great little spot. There's something cathartic about sitting beside the big bay window and sharing absinthe in the moody glow while you watch the snow gently fall for what feels like the thousandth time this winter. Depeche Mode may or may not be playing, and either way that's a good thing.”
“The food was incredible. Our service was impeccable! Highly recommend this lovely place that offers fresh & unique food pairings that completely satisfy!”
“Atmosphere was so unreal! Service was so sweet and helpful didn’t make me feel uncomfortable about it being my first visit here. The food is worth every penny. Will definitely be coming back hopefully sooner than later.”
“We were recommended to stop in on our way to Niagara Falls and the food did not disappoint! It was delicious!”
“My favorite are the puddings! It is very hard to find cakes that look & taste amazing this is it. I love to get an array of her desserts for entertaining bc they are unique.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Bacchus…THANK YOU for a wonderful meal with great service. We thoroughly enjoyed our entrees of Lobster tortellini, shrimp puttanesca and pork chop. The octopus app was delicious too. Service was outstanding and the valet driver even remembered our car! Impressive! We’ve dined here many times and will continue to do so!”
“Went there for the first time and all of us had the fish fry dinner. It was all perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. We will definitely be back another time to try the pizza and wings.”
“Everything was phenomenal from start to finish. We celebrated my husband graduating from college. The service was outstanding, the food was incredible, and the company made for a perfect night out.

“Went here for the first time and omg the food and the waitress we had were amazing definitely going to come back and I definitely left full and happy 😊”
“The best beers I’ve ever had in my life. WOW. I got stouts and an amber in a flight and they were absurdly good. My boyfriend got IPAs which I’m not usually a fan of, but I adored every single one of them so much so that I grabbed some cans to take home! Fabulous service and great atmosphere. Jay was a saint ! I am already looking forward to the next time we come here.”
“I accidentally purchased a gift card here thinking it was a different Brick Oven location (my mistake!). When I called, they were so gracious and told me returning it wouldn’t be an issue. We decided to give it a try instead and wow, we’re so glad we did. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was outstanding. Everyone was friendly and attentive. It’s not local to us, but we’re in the area often and will absolutely be back. So happy we discovered this place!”
“What a great atmosphere! The food & drinks were absolutely amazing 🤩 Thank you!”
“Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday like Meg and Dylan behind the bar at Saint Neri. Their dedication to the craft of bartending is undeniably the best I have ever seen. 10/10 cocktails, 10/10 service, and 10/10 love. Would highly recommend.”
“We just enjoyed a wonderful Breakfast with Santa at The Tewksbury Lodge for the third year in a row. Everything was amazing! The food, the service and the atmosphere were all top notch. Our granddaughters, 5 & 3 yrs old were so excited. Santa greeted all the kids as he entered, and then was so sweet and kind to the all the kids as they were called up, by table, to visit with him at his special chair. Each child received a bag of goodies. You could feel the magic in the air and on the smiles of the kids, parents and grandparents. The Tewksbury Lodge has this breakfast down to a science, systematic and efficient while not rushing at all. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas experience! We'll definitely be back next year! Merry Christmas!”
“Stopped in tonight since we has a sweet deals certificate we have been wanting to use ! First off super friendly staff , I felt like I had known them forever ! We took our food home as we both had a long week and everything was amazing ! Can’t wait to come back and try some other items !”
“Fabulous food! Very nice owner! Everything was delicious, from the appetizers to the main menus and cocktails. Definitely recommend!”
“Great location to enjoy a few pints and some comfort foods before a Sabres game. Easy walking distance to/from the Metro-line.”
“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.”
“Family is the focus of this place. Warm greetings when you come in and ppl you recognize when you sit down. I was with my daughter and son for breakfast as they sad as you noticed it would be coming busy. Waiter came with menus and coffee. Service was quick and timely. I ordered the southwestern burrito with pepper jack cheese. It came out delicious. That plate comes by the side potatoes and toast. I got the rye. My son had the two eggs over easy and he said it was delicious. My daughter had the same thing I did. The portions were large enough that we could take home. As we looked up, we saw family members come in sat down and enjoyed breakfast alongside. It was a delightful experience. Can't wait to get back.”
“As a part of the Arts and Poetry Scene in Buffalo, I'm always looking to support as many businesses as possible and that can work up an appetite. I always feel welcome when I drop by and I'm absolutely certain my favorite items from the menu are the Quesadillas!! Best I've had in town!! The staff are extremely courteous and pleasant to work with!! The atmosphere is vibrant and energetic. If you're in the Elmwood neighborhood please patronize!! I'll certainly be back myself!!”
“Visited for the first time with my mom on 1/31/26. Friendly, hard working host sat us within 10 minutes. We ordered a drink at the bar and chatted with the bartender, he was fluent in the menu and preparations. Our server was equally informative, she was very busy, only wished we had a bit more attention but, it was a busy Saturday. We ordered the Meatloaf Tower and the Shrimp and Scallop dinners. Both were very good, served with warm bread, salad and side. Meatloaf was a bit dense but good, Shrimp and Scallops were cooked to perfection in a garlicky butter and the vegetables with that dish were outstanding.”
“delish food, friendly service and will definitely be back again! check them out..you'll be glad u did!”
“Intimate vibe. lovely decor. food was delicious- loved the wonton starter, scallop fettuccine, and braised short ribs. Service was great! Will be returning!”
“Great food ! Came out fast and was hot and fresh. Definitely would recommend The Place if you are looking for a good meal at a reasonable price.”
“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.”
“We recently had a rehearsal dinner for a very special couple celebrated here. The place is huge, my niece the bride to be she frequent this place and is her favorite and I can bow see why, great variety and amazing service. I noticed how they made efforts to make it extra special for them.”

“Love the atmosphere/vibe of this place! As a huge whiskey fan this place is a new favorite!! My husband had the burger and i had the steak which was awesome and the fried pickles were delicious too.”
“My first time eating at the Wellington pub and it won’t be the last. My Greek wrap and Cajun fries were delicious. Overall, great service and food. Good music and vibes. Highly recommend”
“Fantastic ramen and onigiri, on par with anything I’ve tried in Japan. Excellent flavor on the tonkatsu and miso broths, with perfectly chewy noodles that had the right bite. Onigiri were massive yet held their shape perfectly, with generous spicy tuna inside. What a gem for Buffalo.”

“Went for dinner on Easter Sunday, Staff was great and atmosphere as always top shelf. My wife had filet it was perfect, I had rack of lamb, but it was not a rack but 2 rack bones with 3 inches of meat hanging off, I could not even cut the meat with a steak knife, had to send it back to be cut. beware when you order a rack $70”
“Good People-You need to check out Amy's Place. Had a little snafu with my last lentilberry sandwich. I withdraw that review. Amy's was going through some changes at that time. Amy's Place is fully redeemed. The full Lentilberry Sandwich is back and better than ever!! Lentilberries cooked perfectly. It needs no meat. Perfect meal by itself. Chocolate Crossiant was melt in your mouth delicious with a perfectly crisp outer shell. Many vegan options on the menu. Hours on a Saturday are 8am-8:30pm. Unsure of other days. Can call ahead. Number listed is 716-832-6666. The restaurant has a bohemian vibe that takes you back to better days. Staff have excellent people and listening skills. Music in a connecting space including jazz, and punk. They even have a yoga class. Back to being "All in" on this one! Good People-check them out. Enjoy!!!”
“A step below a dive bar, but I didn't go for the ambience. The beef on weck was outstanding. So much so that I went back again the following week. One member of our party felt the same way about the wings. I may never get to try them because it's like going to Grover's and ordering anything other than a cheeseburger. They are so damn good, you can't pass it up. Of course next time I guess I can get the beef on weck and the wings. Both servers were first rate, attentive, personable and professional. And don't get me started with the beer prices or they might decide to raise them..”
“was introduced to Santasiero's years ago my my cousin Michael C. -a gem all around- all the food was fantastic but my favorite during the winter months was the Santanesca- i can smell the garlic from here- cant wait for the reopening- i always thought the public phone for the pickup orders was great”
“Our party of 4 went on Saturday about 7 pm. We each ordered something different, and everything was delicious. Our server, 'D', was great. One big drawback...there is no bar! Even a nice glass of wine or a cold beer would have gone very well with the meal, the ambiance, and the wonderful live music.”
“We met the guy Greg at another restaurant told me Unc about the cooking spot finally visited today. We purchased the Haddock and Red velvet waffle. Place is cleaned and respectfully served. They even threw the Ted hot sauce, water, and other things to go. The time frame is good safe hours open and close. We will be back to show more support and will tell others.”
“Great experience overall! Been trying to get by and try this pizzeria for a while, live in NF and trek to Buffalo weekly. Was completely with the stop! Friendly, quaint, and pizza was excellent! Love the Detroit style as ingredients were fresh and pizza baked to perfection for us honestly. Will definitely return!”

“Love it here! It is very much like the original in Munich. Most nights there is a live German band playing. Free show with your dinner. And the food is amazing. And don't get me started about the beer. I suggest everyone get the Dunkel. Best dark beer and its made just like the one in Munich following the Munich beer purity laws.”
“Will is a fantastic waiter! In a world full of mediocrity, he is a rarity! He went above and beyond in service and in hospitality! Very friendly and helpful and made the dining experience tremendous! He is definitely a leader and is a role model for customer service. Thank you”
“Our family had Easter Brunch at Jack Rabbit and we were all very impressed, the service was excellent! Everything was served in a timely manner (even with it being very busy) our food was hot and delicious! We all had different entrees from Eggs Benedict, Steak & Eggs, Turkey Benedict, Pancakes and we all agreed that the Breakfast Pizza was the BEST we have ever had oh and don’t forget the Tater Tots! Look forward to going back! Katie 👍👍🌟”

“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)”
“Went to brunch today with my 8 month old daughter and mother and the staff was more than accommodating. Gloria,Gracie and Glory were all beyond helpful and kind. 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!”

“I recently visited Bamboo Ridge in Buffalo, NY and overall had a good dining experience with a few mixed impressions.
We ordered the orange chicken, egg noodles, spring rolls, fried dumplings, and the eggplant ridge. The portion sizes were great — definitely generous — and everything arrived hot and flavorful. The orange chicken was especially enjoyable, and the appetizers like the spring rolls and fried dumplings were tasty and satisfying.
One thing to note is that the egg noodles were not the same noodles described on the menu. Instead of the expected noodles, they used ramen noodles. While this was a little surprising, the dish was still very flavorful and enjoyable overall.
The main downside for me was the cleanliness of the bathroom, which was disappointing and took away slightly from the overall experience.
Overall, Bamboo Ridge offers good portion sizes and tasty, hot food, but I hope they improve attention to cleanliness to match the quality of their dishes.”
“Whoever the guy chef was please cook some more i WILL be back and whoever that girl was, was so sweet if i could leave more then 5 stars i would because the service was just that cute. As for the food and atmosphere. The food was DELICIOUS and the Atmosphere its a cute small hidden gem and I will be back. Best 84$ i ever spent. It was my first time and its NOT going to be my last”
“This was the only restaurant I could find that had döner kebabs and I wasn't disappointed. I was excited they had both chicken and lamb döners. The chicken was my favorite when I lived in Germany. The guy who served us was very friendly. I'll have to go back for the falafel and lahmacun.”
“Food was very good. My only comment is we had dinner late. The restaurant is very dark. It was difficult to read the menu. Then when the food was delivered the only way to experience the true beauty and presentation of the plates was to shine a light on the table.”
“I came for the matcha on tap and was not disappointed. As a tea drinker there are not many places to find a good matcha. I purchased the iced pistachio matcha and it was amazing. Their summer bun with homemade plum jam was also very tasty. If you are a vegan, there are plenty of options. I will definitely be coming back at least once a week. The staff was very personable.”
“The food was really good. One of the best south-east Asian restaurants in Buffalo. It does take a little time because they freshly prepared everything. Loved the experience!!”
“Took our daughter here for her birthday and the service was a Five Star Experience!!! Waitress was very polite and professional. Food was excellent and then they brought out a plate of the tempura cheesecake for her with happy birthday written on it. Excellent restaurant!!!”
“Stopped by while working in the area. The service was fast and friendly. The beef shwarma was amazing, flavored perfectly and the beef melts in your mouth. The fries were great as well and a generous portion. I will be stopping by again as soon as im in the area!”
“I got smashed on a slut box!!! Ok, there must be some magic in this kitchen somewhere. I had the blueberry smash burger slut box with the jerk wings. Somehow the burger was not sweet, but you could still taste the blueberry. The blueberry somehow enhanced the beefiness( is that a word? If not it should be) of the burger. Truly amazing. I have always touted Cluck Cluck Moo Moo as the best smash burger in Buffalo, but this burger was better. Truly amazing. Next the jerk wings.... Oh my! Crispy, spicy, and a hint of sweetness combined with that jerk island spice, incredible. Trust me, you do not want to miss this place.”
“Not only is this a great hideout when you just want some quiet time away, but it’s also a great space to have a party when you want to be surrounded by all your favorite people! Fresh food, hot drinks, cold drinks, alcoholic, nonalcoholic, you name it. It’s got everything and more! The diversity of fun and inclusive activities are unmatched and unbound. This is more than just a café. This is a community of acceptance peace and love. It is my home away from home. It should be yours too. Check it out.”
“Was our first time going to this place. Was a little loud but it was okay. Food was delicious everything we order was so good they got a great cooker. Waitress was very nice and polite very professional and there was a gentleman don't know if he is the owner or manager with a beard super nice awesome person always made sure if we were okay. We definitely will be going back to eat.”
“Always an amazing experience at Vice. Service is always on point, the food is fresh and the cocktails are some of the best in Buffalo.”
