“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!!!”
“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!”

“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.”
“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.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“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 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.”

“We sat at the bar and Brian was our top notch bartender. Great beer and wings and whatever you do don’t ask I him for a bloody Maria he only makes those for girls from Texas 🤣 but hey it was great!! Thank you Brian, if we are ever back in Buffalo we’ll come see you again! #marshalltexascomestobuffalo”

“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 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 :)”
“We came to Fort Wayne Indiana yesterday from Ohio for me to make a purchase at one of your local shops there and ended up going BurgerFi to eat before heading back to Ohio. First time ever eating there.Myself and my husband both really enjoyed, the hamburgers were phenomenal and the fries were just as good. I would recommend this place if anybody. BurgerFi definitely needs to bring their establishment to Ohio especially northwest Ohio.”
“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”
“We went for our anniversary and it was a lovely time. Definitely recommend for any occasion. The mussels are a must have, and are discounted on Mondays. Our server Maia was excellent, very professional and eager to create a memorable dining experience.”
“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.”
“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.”

“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!”

“So delicious!!! We enjoyed every single thing we ordered. Highly recommended!”
“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”
“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.”

“We went to Buffalo Deep Dish for the first time last Saturday as a party of four. We arrived at 4:30pm and I expected it to be busy because let’s face it, the pictures of their pizza online look crazy good and they live up to it! First problem is parking, second problem is finding a table to wait for your pizza which took nearly 3 hours! Once we were able to find a place to sit, we tried the craft beer which was very good. I especially enjoyed the beer crafted with rice since I’m trying to stay away from wheat these days. The brewery area was a little loud but we made the best of it and enjoyed our pizza when it finally came out. No doubt we will be back but will have to be the first one there lol”

“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.”
“Sweet Jenny’s is a staple for our family. We never have a holiday table without chocolate from here. Teacher gifts are a must. Summer ice cream trips making memories! Everything here is amazing, including the owners. If your visiting the Buffalo area this place is a must see, we always bring out of towners here! Thanks for being such an awesome part of our community!”
“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!”

“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!”

“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”
“Sarah was our server and she was excellent Everything was perfection. Had a lovely Birthday celebration.”
“I don’t know where to start, one of the best all around dining experiences of my life. Started with the toasted marshmallow espresso martini which I had to try three of to confirm how delicious they were. Then me an my two friends order the octopus, lamb meatballs, and bone marrow. Rarely does every appetizer hit but these were all out of the park home runs. For the entree I got the roast chicken, and my friends got the two different duck entrees and a takeout container was not necessary. The vibe and service was just as good as the food, we also had the chance to talk with the owners father who gave us some background on the operation and overall just a very friendly environment with unbelievable food, and not very expensive for the value. I will be back again!”
“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!”

“Learned about Golden Hour Treats on Grubhub when I typed in ice cream. Oh boy! I had a banana split which was the best I've ever had. The boys had the cotton candy ice cream and were very happy. I then went back in 2 days and had the banana pudding. I intended to eat a few bites and save the rest...well that didn't happen! Delicious!! Atmosphere is clean and the staff are nice if a little slow. It's definitely worth a trip.”
“We just came here for drinks and didn't have any food, but what an awesome environment.... And the craft made beer was delish. Definitely worth the visit.”
“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.”

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!”
“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.”
“Every time I’ve eaten at the Phoenix 269 the food was incredible- the service is perfect. I love the atmosphere and the patio.

“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Best pizza I've had! 2 slices for $7 is really cheap for how good it is. I would pay $7 a slice for this quality, loaded with toppings and the crust is phenomenal.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“We had an amazing dinner & the shoe was awesome!! We 100% will recommend & absolutely will be back!!”
“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.”
“I think it’s fine the way it is. I especially like that I can get a fish fry any day It’s very good to0. If there were one thing I would change is the parking situation. That’s it”
“I'm hooked on this Mexican restaurant. The margaritas are the best in the city, the grub's quick and tasty, and their homemade hot sauce is ridiculous. The staff's also super knowledgeable and friendly, so it's a solid spot to take out-of-town guests who are hungry and thirsty.”
“What’s wonderful find! Food is delicious! The wait staff was very nice and helpful. It is so cozy and quiet atmosphere. Loved the location as it reminded me of a wonderful place in Paris. We will definitely be going back!!”
“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.”
“going to lafiesta cantina was a last minute decision for my husband's birthday and boy am I glad we did!! Our server Arisa, was delightful, drinks were good but our food was excellent. We will definitely be going back!!”

“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!!!”
“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!”
“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”

“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!”

“Arrived on a Sunday late afternoon, I am not a beer drinker but after trying the Hofbräu Hefe Weize bavarian beer I am a fan now. Another recommendation would be the apple streudel dessert. My husband ordered the chocolate chip cookie with ice cream. We also ordered the appetizer sampler. The cheesy sauce with the warm pretzel is tasty.
Our server was Lizzy, she did great handling our lack of knowledge to order our main dishes, and the manager was very accomodating, we ordered the Geschnetzeltes with beef strips & the Schweinshaxe or Schweinebraten, I don't recall it had gravy but for sure it was roasted pork with sauerkraut & mashed potatoes. My husband wasn't content with the Geschnetzeltes with beef strips so the manager without hesitation replaced it for chicken sausage, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes (Bratwurst mit Sauerkraut).
I will like to return for the beer itself.”
“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”

“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!”
“My husband and I went here on Thanksgiving Day 2025, OMG, When I tell you, Everything was Perfect, THE Greeting at the Door, They took our Coats, Seated us, The Waitress was Amazing, Food Was Fantastic, Scenery was Beautiful, I highly recommend this Place, Thank you 😊”
“Very good experience for a 6th birthday party with the private room. Very accommodating for thefew guest that had food allergies. Kids had a blast, made it easy for the parents to have fun with the kids”
“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)”

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“This place is such a gem! The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful — extremely spacious, eclectic, and full of personality in every corner. (Literally there's a little something for EVERYONE!) It's a cafe, so the coffee end of things is undoubtedly their strong suit but they also have a cooler with canned beverages to suit anyone, from bottled water and iced teas to canned wine & beer to NA options! It’s the kind of spot that makes you want to stay a little longer, whether you’re grabbing a coffee, catching some live entertainment, or just soaking in the vibe. Even though they’re brand new, the team operates like they’ve been doing this for years — friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell a lot of thought and love went into creating this space. Definitely a must-visit spot.”
“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.”
“Got one of their signature drinks the Haraz latte. It was delicious and smooth and I already want to go back and get another one.
The inside of the store is super cute and well decorated. They have extra seating in the back that's kind of hidden if you don't walk back there.
The staff were efficient and friendly!!”
“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.”
