“My wife and I just had an early dinner there today. First time here and food was FANTASTIC! My wife had the Steak & Cheese and I had The Rodeo Chopped Cheese. Both came with fries and let me tell you that the fries taste EXACTLY like McDonalds fries and that is a compliment. Huge portions! Service was fast and friendly too. Highly recommended.“

“love the owner Angel, great/quick service, good vibes, great music and outstanding chicken wings.. HIGHLY recommend ❤️🎉“

“I love this bar so much. Not only do they offer top notch entertainment; drag, burlesque, karaoke, dance parties and more. The food is INCREDIBLE. The best chicken fingers I’ve ever had and of course you can’t go wrong with their spicy picklebacks🤤

It’s also one of the few bars that I feel 100% safe at in Buffalo, as a woman that’s extremely important to me.

Love Val and the Hot Mamas crew❤️❤️❤️“

“Lunch twice a week and never had a bad dish. Best damn steak sandwich is a must!!! Oh, by the way Kim is the best...hands down.“

“Always an Awesome time at Checkers! JP. ;) - ✌ 💚 🎶 - Jammin Jesse 🎶“

“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.“

“Love the food, atmosphere and service. It’s everything a NY bar and grill should be.“

“great food and friendly staff!“

“Great place, AMAZING owner!!!“

“Fun times at this great family run establishment“

“Stopped in to get some food because the kids were hungry. I went in by myself first to make sure it was a family friendly place. The bartender was also the cook for the day and she assured me it was fine and seated us in the back. The food was fantastic and she was very efficient and friendly. The kids loved it and it was one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in a long time“

“Had my Girlfriends Birthday at the foundry the Molly the Owner and staff was excellent to work with and the the food was great“

“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.“

“We loved Union before but now it is even better in the new location. The bar is awesome and there is a full dinning room now to come and enjoy a killer meal. I love the French onion soup, wings and of course Transit log!! Awesome downtown place!“

“I had my daughter's birthday party at Northtown center during an open skate on short notice. The Skybox owner was very accommodating, and set us up in their private party room for pizza and cake. It overlooks the main ice rink which was great. The staff was very helpful and the pizza and wings were tasty. Thanks again!“

“Very disappointed in the duck soup. I have been eating it for years and the last batch I purchased at the Polish Festival had carrots in it!! Too thick and gray.Must be someone new making it. When I asked about the carrots, they said they've been doing it like that for years. Huh?!“

“Love this place!!! I go here for all my holidays.“

“Very accommodating - we truly appreciate their hosting our event there!!!“

“Nice little corner bar. Service was great. Ordered the house hot and was pleasantly surprised how good they were. Not a traditional hot sauce. The wings were cooked perfectly and the sauce was excellent. Don't pass on this spot for wings. Definitely a top 10“

“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 👍👍🌟“

“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.“

“Our bartender, Jackie, greeted us as we took seats at the bar. She took our order right away. She engaged with each customer and checked back with us as needed. The wings were great, but an otherwise limited menu. A pleasant stop for a refreshing drink or two.“

“great atmosphere and service“

“I went to Bada Bing. Had their pizza and it was delicious. The owners are great people.“

“We visited Buffalo last Saturday and decided to try Anchor Bar. The food was great. But the service was amazing. Truly, the beat service we have had in a long time. Thank you for making it a wonderful visit.“

“Got stranded at Christmas 2022. This hotel staff is absolutely amazing!! Very accommodating, super helpful. Other hotels are running out of food and these guys are making breakfast and a dinner for everyone. It’s truly an amazing crew. They are stranded with us and dealing with all the stress yet have a smile on their face!! A can not recommend this place enough, just because of the staff. Merry Christmas and thank you so very very much!!!“

“Service wasn’t great. Food was incredibly good!! We sat in the upper back. Waitress wasn’t around too much. And didn’t check in often. Waited a long time and did not get our second round of drinks…. The food was absolutely delicious!! Made up for the poor service..“

“Great food, great atmosphere“

“Delicious food, friendly staff, clean restaurant and restroom. We have travelled far to eat at your restaurant and it was all worth it ❤️“

“5 star.. great food, atmosphere and bartenders“

“the staff are fun, friendly, and helpful! Tasty, strong drinks, some of the best DJs in WNY, great vibes and A LOT of fun!!“

“The bartender Taylor is amazing!! Highly recommend this place because of her!“

“Cassie was an absolute rockstar of a server—always popping by at just the right moment to keep our drinks full, even with our larger group. The appetizers were perfectly portioned for sharing, which set the tone for a great night, and dinner hit the table right on cue after we finished the apps. Thank you for hosting our dinner club and making the evening smooth, fun, and delicious from start to finish!“

“Great place to hang and if you in the mood for game night just walk in the back room!“
