“I usually don’t write reviews however this place deserves a 10 star review. The food is Instagram worthy and delicious. I will probably dream about how good the food was and this restaurant will officially be my weekly go to place. Great vibes, great food, great staff! I highly recommend stopping by!“
“Let's face it. You don't go to Sportsmen's Tavern for the food -- it's all about the music! This is an outstanding music venue which continues to spread through the community. But you may be surprised to learn the food is very good! I'm not sure if the kitchen is always open but be sure to order food when at Sportsmen's for the full experience.“
“Loved it! Very nice gathering place. Also provides parking. I was there for a benefit/fundraiser and found it to be a great place to hold such an event. There's plenty of space, a kitchen and Bar. It also has multiple rooms for use. Two thumbs up ?“
“We did a call ahead take out order for 9 people for lunch at the office. They were very efficient with taking the order and it was ready within 45 minutes. I believe I spoke with Thomas at pick up and he was super sweet and offered to help me carry the order out. I personally ordered the candied garlic burger and the flavors were incredible! No complaints from anyone regarding any of their orders!“
“This is very small restaurant on Sheridan Dr., near Millersport. There are 5 tables set for 2; 5 tables set for 4 and one table set for 8. I ordered the falafel wrap. It comes with hot-out-of-the-fryer fries. These were great. The very large wrap is filled with several falafel balls, tahini and chopped salad. It has been a while since I enjoyed falafel. This wrap did not disappoint. It was delicious.“
“My friend and I went there for drinks for the first time last night. We searched Googles for new cocktail bars in the area, and this place popped up. It was a great time. The cocktails were very well crafted. We didn't get food. The atmosphere was fun. A mix of the younger generation and older consumers were there. We had fun and also met up with a few other friends. Would highly recommend.“
“The guy at the bar was super friendly and informative about the drinks and gave me a detailed explanation about absinthe. The atmosphere was so chill and fun.Loved the lite brite and other games. It was so cool to see a free library in a bar.I will definitely be back when I'm in town.“
“Love this place on the north end of Conesus like Anthony is great behind the bar. Very laid back atmosphere. Great clientele. I’ve DJed there a few times and everyone is very receptive. I’m looking forward being back there on April 15th“
“If you're looking for a warm and casual place to grab a fantastic brew, be sure to check out Magic Bear. Whether it's your first time or hundredth time visiting, you'll feel right at home. The owner, Craig, is knowledgable and one of the kindest shop owners you'll meet. If you're a beer nerd, Craig and his staff will never fail to give you a recommendation that matches or expands your palate. If you're not, they'll be just as sure to find something that you like. Definitely check this place out!“
“The band was great, but so was the venue! Different levels for viewing the stage and dancing, the eye-catching collection of album covers, and the open garage door that allowed ventilation and also a little outside smoke for anyone nostalgic for the smell of the bars we used to sneak into. Such a great space!“
“Clean, worn but cared for. CASH ONLY, atm on site.Highlight- consistent high quality simple food with a rotating special menu at more than fair pricing, easily have a drink, and meal for $20-25 with a tip.Bar is cozy, restaurant roomy on the simple side.Parking: In front, and to the left of building NOT TO THE RIGHT, that is private parking for the business next door and may be ticketed or towed.“
“Some of the nicest people in the industry at this place. Never had a bad meal, although did have something that was too spicy for me. Every person working there is exceptional, especially the owner and family. The atmosphere is creative, and they have live music some nights. The drinks are fun and inventive too, and there's Sunday brunch to boot!!! Solid choice.“
“Enjoyed the food a lot, not so much the place.I was pleased with them having vegan options!There's not too much parking and the place was absolutely packed out the door, causing me to order to go instead. I wouldn't go back due to how busy it is and the layout being inefficient.Looking forward to the new locations with more parking and better layout!Overall the good food outweighed the chaos inside, so will order take out for a pick up next time!Vegetarian options: There are a few vegan options!“
“I’ve been here for a night out with friends. It was a great vibe, outstanding service, and great prices. I recently had the wings as I’ve been told they are great. I would say they are some of the best in the city. I ordered them medium extra crispy. Even with it being takeout the wings kept their integrity and tasted great! Plus they have homemade bleu cheese“
“We visited Blue Cave Restaurant for the first time! Everything was amazing. Their craft cocktails were delicious. Food presentation was beautiful and the taste was superb. Our serve was attentive but not overbearing. They have menu items labeled for gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian. Highly recommend.“
“As a Canadian, I had high expectations for Buffalo chicken wings. We ordered the hot flavour and were not disappointed. Beer is ice cold... and we met the most lovely man named Matt ? was a great spot and felt totally comfortable like a local pub xo cheers to Matt you are a “
“I have been to this restaurant twice and I really enjoyed my experience both times . First of all the menu is outstanding and reasonably priced . That is not counting the specials - new specials are posted on their Facebook page every day ! This past visit my aunt and I ordered two entrees - the chicken inferno (stuffed banana pepper, sweet chili sauce ) and crab stuffed haddock . Entrees come with fresh bread and a side salad. I was able to upgrade to a loaded baked potato for $3 (worth it ) . Food was as delicious as they appear in pictures I posted. Plenty for leftovers . Server was kind and accommodating . Dare I say Rust Belt is one of the best restaurants in the south towns ! Try it for yourself and see if you agree ....“
“Updated 7/2/2023 We have been back several times over the years and it just keeps getting better! We were in last night and had some incredible food. The wine was amazing as always. If you haven't been and you are looking for noteworthy wine and delicious food this is the place to go. Can't wait to go back!!What a great find! Can't wait to go back, this will be our new spot. We had a couple of glasses of wine that was recommended by the bartender Pete - He was spot on! The wine selection was simple but high quality, something for everyone. Nice beer selection for the non wine drinker. The atmosphere of the venue was cozy and welcoming. The outdoor area was not open due to the cold but that looked cute as well. We will definitely be back and can't wait for the warm weather to sit on the patio.“
“Cozy neighborhood eatery and bar. The staff are friendly and make you feel like a regular on your first visit. The wings are great. Good buffalo sauce and crispy, blue cheese is really good, and I'm a buffalo wing snob. Atmosphere sings old buffalo with antiques and vintage photos.“
“Truly a special place. Unlike any other bar. Bartender was friendly and chatted us up. Open mic night was fun and it’s clearly an institution-full of regulars and the fact that we didn’t feel unwelcome was nice. Worth a visit just to check out what decades of people adding art and memorabilia on the walls can create.“
“We had an absolutely amazing experience for our friend’s bachelorette party this weekend. Our instructor, Sam, has such amazing energy and made our whole experience such a blast. Loved the atmosphere, food, drinks, and staff. Will definitely be returning on our next trip to Buffalo!“
“The food and service were wonderful. The bar was way too small, it only fit the couples. The upstairs bar was closed which was large and a much better set up. This was unfortunate because the bartenders skills were great. Close the downstairs one and open upstairs. You'll attract a younger crowd up there. The beef tartare was my favorite dish of the night but my lobster was also great.“
“The exact embodiment of an Irish Pub you'd imagine if someone asked you to think of the ideal Irish pub, except without the stereotype redhead with green eyes at the door. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Food was decent, drinks served fast, and probably the best spot to take a date on Saint Paddy's (which I failed to do).Edit to add: each time I've been by here, Megan has been hostess/server. She's great! Instantly personable, relatable, a delight.If you can afford to spend a bit, the Banshee is really the best little spot to hang out. The charm of the space, and the staff, makes each visit deeply satisfying.Parking: There are a number of paid parking lots and paid parking garages in the area, but it's smack in the middle of downtown, so expect to pay for your time there. Ride services and cabs are ideal anyway, to prevent bad judgement after a few pints. To be honest, parking right in front of the building on Franklin St is *supposed* to be city street parking with meters, but some ppl have said they park there constantly and never pay anything (at least not in the afternoon/evening). Your call if you want to risk it. You can also pay $30 for the lot next door, if you really need some peace of mind.Wheelchair accessibility: Although the upper floors won't be accessible, the ground floor doors are accessibly wide and swing light on their hinges. The bathrooms can be a little snug to get thru the doors, but there are of course accessible stalls when thru those.“
“Honestly some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had. My fiancé and I just found this restaurant by luck and it made our whole trip! Our server Nicole was incredible and I know our experience wouldn’t have been the same without her. Highly recommend and I know we will be back soon! ☺️“
“Scared to review, don't want this spot becoming too popular.. Not a hidden gem since it's right on Niagara. But I absolutely love coming here. The atmosphere is perfect, always. Great staff and awesome prices. We love the bathrooms, very hot. Get a panini!! Get a few drinks!! You'll be back ;)“
“Outstanding experience, best wings, and handcut fries in Buffalo. The wait times might be long but your food is brought as soon as it is ready as well as "ordered". Two spots to order from being the bar and one of the 12 tables located behind the hostess. Expect wait times of an hour at open and some open seats by 7/7:30. Went on a Saturday and had a great time talking to both tourists and locals. Order a drink so that the wait feels less like an hour and a half and more like twenty-five minutes. Cannot wait to come back and try the HOT wings as opposed to MEDIUM. They are known for their hot sauce.“
“Small, clean and fun, this cozy venue offers excellent service at an extremely reasonable price. Modern jukebox and clean restrooms.Entertainment on some nights including outstanding karaoke on Tuesday from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m..You don't need a lot of money or talent to have a great time here!“
“Steve, our bartender was great! Wonderful selection of beers. You can't miss ordering the house wings. The bar and eating space is roomy and bathrooms are clean. The outside tables make it a super-friendly atmosphere.I haven't been there on Wing Wednesdays but it looks like I'll be there soon for $1 wings and $3 Utica Club drafts!!!“
“My family came here looking for a place to eat and this ended up being a sleeper hit! This is basically an Applebee's but obviously way better! The food was very good. I could not believe the portion sizes though. With the prices they charge for the food, it's basically a steal. I honestly wish there were Tully's back downstate. Definitely worth bringing your family and friends to!“
“Phenomenal! I had heard amazing things about Hutch's for years and finally made it in for a surprise birthday dinner from my friends. Each and every one of us absolutely loved and raved over our meals and drinks. Some of the freshest oysters and a delicious meatball to start our night, with espresso martini's and wine. I had the pork chop special with pear chutney and WOW, the biggest and moist cut of pork I've had with an amazing flavor profile. I had the fruit cookie for dessert and it was absolutely divine. Our server, Amanda, was so friendly and helpful, suggesting apps, working with my friend to find the perfect red wine for her, and even humoring my other friend to pick a meal and surprise her- and she picked well! Good service makes all the difference and we can't say enough about her and the atmosphere here. I have friends who routinely come to Hutch's and all I can say is I've been influenced and hope to return much more frequently! Thanks for an amazing dinner experience to celebrate my 30th!“
“Love Duff's wings. Always huge and cooked to perfection. Great service too! Only reason they don't get 5 stars is the prices. They remain very high even though chicken wing costs have come down. Don't go there as often as I used to because of it. Who can afford $2 per wing? Hoping that changes at some point.“
“Its family run. There open later then near by bars. They have some real good food I love the pizza logs. They have awesome cool down to earth just amazingly great bar tenders.my favorates.. Yes I said favorites are Charlie and Paulette.. Its down to earth and have good family AND adult functions for holidays and more. There is a fish fry I believe every Friday. Remember to tip!!!“
“Yesterday my Gigi and I found this place. We were in town for a dance competition at sheas and didn’t know the restaurants around. We started walking and by the grace of god found this amazing place! First of all the atmosphere is amazing. The staff was friendly. Our server (I wish I had gotten her name) was probably the best server I have ever had. then came the food. Oh my god! The ricotta gnocchi is literally bites of heavenly clouds in your mouth. Moral of story probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had (and I’m picky) this place will now be my favorite restaurant. I will happily travel from Fredonia to come here!“
“I had the carnitas it was delicious. It was served with rice, pico di gallo, beans and tortillas shells and it was excellent. My sister had the supreme quesadilla and it was delicious as well. My husband had the beef chimichangas and really enjoyed them. They where crispy and equally delicious. Our waiter was incredible and took great care of our table. We had a wonderful meal and excellent experience.“
“Omg,Me and girlfriend went for brunch this morning and William was our server William was awesome, from the way he described certain menu items, to customer service. The food was awesome. I will definitely come back and try dinner service next time “
“I fear leaving this review because I don't want the place ruined I loved it so much. Step back in time without all the pretension to a classic hometown bar. The owner Greg was bartending and filled us in on the history of the place having closed in the 80s until he opened up in the 2000s. There's no having to pretend to be old timey, the vinyl on the bar, the stools, and the walls covered in Utica Club and Schlitz is authentic to the place. We went for the Tom & Jerry's and I have to say they are one of the best in town, unlike a lot of places though they aren't pushing out big batches of the batter so you want to get there early to make sure you don't miss out! They serve them until new years. We weren't there long before the friendly patrons offered to get us a shot, everyone was so inviting and made us feel so welcome. Greg too. We plan to make it a regular stop even outside Tom and Jerry season!“
“The place is great. It is quaint and friendly with a sort of country-club atmosphere. It is usually busy, with either a short wait or none. It's great in the summer because of the nice patio, and great in the winter because it's cozy and they serve warm drinks.“
“Old school bar for the locals with plenty of fair. Insane amount of TVs for watching fames. It is a huge but small Bills bar. Drinks are super cheap but CASH ONLY. 2 entrances front and back and parking is simple. Short menu did not eat here. Definitely a besk kept secret and the patrons are friendly as ever.“
“I was very surprised to see the ratings for this place! This was honestly the best pollo con crema I have ever had. Sometimes with Mexican restaurants it will just be quest and chicken. But this was so flavorful with a bunch of other stuff added. The drinks were good too, definitely a little pricey. Our server was the best ever! We came on the day of the eclipse, so it was super busy. However, she was the sweetest person, and everyone at the table agreed. Since this place is right on Elmwood, I would totally come back a agin for the pollo con crema alone!“
“My current favorite place to order fish fry takeout. The beer batter is fried to a crispy perfection. The sides are hit or miss, the potato salad was not good the last time I ordered. But was still pretty happy with meal overall. Do recommend!“
“Vegetarian options: Ask the head chef or someone who knows the menu before you order.Kid-friendliness: It's a bar/restaurant but people have kids in there all the time, hopefully they got fed.Wheelchair accessibility: The kitchen and main bar are all on the first floors you have to make it through 2 doors, so if you're in a wheelchair hopefully someone opens the doors for you out of politeness because there are no 'automatic' doors.“
“Every single time. Every time! We have the best food, best service, best experience. It is the perfect escape for lunch and dinner. You can tell I’m obsessed. The pineapple habanero, the quesadillas, THE FISH TACO! And duh, margs, top shelf, top experience, Grace Anne is my FAVORITE part. I can’t say enough about this place. If you need to ask, don’t- just go.“
“The fish fry was so good!!! The fish was crispy and they gave me a huge piece! The tuna Mac salad was delicious and homemade. The fries were fresh cut and cooked perfectly. It also came with a sauerkraut pasta salad, coleslaw and bread with butter. Overall it was a excellent meal and I will definitely be ordering from here again.“
“Of course we picked a bandits game to visit this restaurant/bar. We were immediately greeted at the door and at that time the place was still not too busy. Tables were nice and clean, and some tunes playing in the place. Ordered a cheese pizza (cause what kid can say no to cheese pizza), bbq wings and some fries. Wings were perfectly cooked, great bbq sauce and the best part is they were nice and crispy. Fries, again good portion and cooked nice and crispy. That pizza though, must be cooked in a magic oven. Perfection. Probably one of the better pizzas I've had in a while. This place is not a well kept secret, so come early if there's an event going on.“
“My 1st time here tonight. The bartender is super!! i asked if they could do a hot cajun wet wing and they said yes. let me tell u...these wings may be THE BEST hot cajun wet I have ever had. And extra crispy as requested. Put it on the menu STAT!! Not to mention the prices are amazing. We will be back!“
“As a middle-aged dude for whom sleep has replaced sex as the ultimate goal in life, this place has reinvigorated me. Met some friends here for drinks and had a great time. Emily the bartender was on point all night. A brilliant host, her sarcasm and wit were superior to mine, which pissed me off at first but eventually I conceded defeat. Worth every penny. Will definitely be returning as often as I can!Also, they have dart boards!“
“Fun place , met a guy named Hammer there ... he seems to be the mascot of the bar. Hammer turned out to be a funny guy who really like to talk about pro wrestling , and he even got in a friendly but heated debate with a patron about Hulk Hogan vs John Cena ...Would have stayed longer but there was NO food available .“
“The food here is tremendous (wings are on par with Bar-Bill and they have a great fish fry), but one word of caution - do not expect to be able to order meat on Friday’s during Lent. Long time regulars are probably well aware of this policy but we were caught a bit off guard. Given that they were absolutely packed with people ordering the fish fry, it makes a lot of sense, just something to be aware of.“
“Fun place with super nice staff and a great selection of brews! You "rent" a card per person with your credit card on entry. Grab a fresh glass and select and pour your own brew choice - whether an ounce or a full glass. A selection of wines and hard ciders were also available. Atmosphere is very casual and there is a lot of outdoor seating available in better weather. Food was good - pub style choices.Kid-friendliness: Not a place for kids, although I'm sure they are welcome...“
