“Really solid lamb over rice platter, the red sauce is banging, can’t wait to have it again“

“We was in the buffalo area and was looking for a good pie. Figured we would check it out. Pizza was very good but the sauce was a little sweet for my liking. But if I was in the area again I would have it again.“

“I love authentic Chinese food and seek it out when traveling. So, when in the area recently I did some research and this place came up as being probably the most authentic in the Buffalo and Niagara areas, so I went for lunch. Sure enough, their menu is legit, filled with many of the recognizable delicacies you won’t find at the ordinary Chinese-American joints.

Entering the place is odd, they have a weather barrier (those plastic slats) hanging from the door after you open the glass door – very odd placement of them. Inside is rather small and simple, not decorated much, it’s truly a carry-out place that provides table service too. Service was decent, far from fancy.

I decided to try their cumin beef and an order of scallion pancakes. The cumin beef came out first and though I asked for it to be spicy, it most definitely was very mild. The flavor was a little bland overall and this is typically a dry-wok’d type of stir fry with more oil and less sauce, but mine was slightly saucy and lacking flavor completely. The scallion pancakes looked and tasted decent.

Perhaps if I ordered something different I would have enjoyed the food more. I still recommend stopping in if you’re seeking authentic Chinese, I’m sure they have some great dishes here.“

“It was our first time and it was delicious“

“Jimmy's Texas Hot is one of my favorite lunch spots, especially on Mondays when I'm in the area. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. The owner is professional, friendly, and always takes the time to have a great conversation with customers. Nothing earns more respect from me than seeing an owner working behind the counter right alongside the staff. That's exactly why I believe people should support small businesses like this. The food is consistently excellent I honestly haven't had a bad meal there. If you're looking for a delicious meal in a comfortable setting with great service, I highly recommend Jimmy's Texas Hot.“

“This Dairy Queen is amazing! It’s right near me so it’s an easy walk, and usually the lines aren’t crowded and the staff are really nice! The atmosphere is nice and the food is great just a bit melty but you can grab a few napkins then you are fine.“

“Good pretzels, but ordering gets chaotic when it's busy. The counter staff are fine. The issue is one guy who isn't in the Pretzel T-shirt like everyone else, who takes over the line, hurrying everyone for orders, without even giving you time to see the menu. He makes it awkward and this is not the first time I had this experience with this guy. How are you supposed to order something you haven't read? Just let the counter run a normal first-come, first-served queue.“

“This location is known for serving a variety of treats such as ice creams, Blizzards, sundaes, and fast food items. It's a part of the Dairy Queen Grill & Chill system, which has a reputation for its combination of hardworking people and great-tasting food and treats. The store offers amenities like credit card acceptance, mobile ordering, delivery, gift cards, and outdoor seating.Dairy Queen, one of the largest fast-food chains specializing in ice cream and frozen treats, has a rich history that dates back to 1940. The first Dairy Queen store was opened in Joliet, Illinois, by entrepreneur John Freemont "J.F." McCullough, his son Alex, and their friend Sherb Noble. They developed a unique soft-serve recipe two years earlier and decided to open Dairy Queen following its successful trial at Sherb's ice cream shop.The initial store in Joliet was primarily a place to buy ice cream and refreshments, with no seating for customers. Instead, people were encouraged to take their treats home or eat them on the go. This concept of a quick-service ice cream establishment was new and rapidly gained popularity.Dairy Queen began expanding through a franchise system just a year after its inception. By 1947, the number of stores grew to 100, and by 1953, Dairy Queen had crossed the borders into Canada with a franchise in Melville, Saskatchewan. In the 1950s and 1960s, Dairy Queen became a staple of social life in small Midwestern and Southern towns in the United States, often featuring in stories and memoirs about small-town America.A significant milestone in their menu development was the introduction of the Blizzard in 1985. This new product, combining soft-serve ice cream with candy mix-ins, was an instant success and became a hallmark of the Dairy Queen brand.Over the years, Dairy Queen has continued to grow and evolve. As of the mid-2010s, there were more than 6,400 Dairy Queen stores in over 25 countries, with the majority in the United States. The company became International Dairy Queen, Inc. (IDQ) in 1962 and was later acquired by Berkshire Hathaway in 1998.Dairy Queen's menu has also evolved over the years, from the introduction of malts and shakes in 1949, banana splits in 1951, to the Dilly® Bar in 1955. The Brazier® concept, which introduced an expanded fast-food menu, was launched in 1957. Today, Dairy Queen's offerings include a wide range of frozen treats, fast food items, and specialty items like the Blizzard and GrillBurgers.“

“I usually get Door Dash from this location, but I stopped in today. Tye greeted me & took my order - and was one of the most pleasant interactions from a restaurant, that I’ve had in a long time. Food, as always, was great!

Thank you!“

“Friendly staff…yummy food“

“Innovative & creative foods very delicious“

“Gary is an amazing man and takes pride in his food. This place holds a special place in my heart for many reasons. Thank you Gary for keeping this South Buffalo gem alive and unique!“

“Best n Buffalo 🐃 don't waste your tym no where Else 💙🙌🏽💙🙌🏽🐃🐃🔥“

“I like this place, and have been going to this location since it opened in like 2002. Now they just need to get that big, self-serve Coke machine, with all the different combinations of pop and water in it, and I'll like it even better!“

“Below is a comment about a plastic cup and a refusal to not put ice ream in cup. Grow up Your Petty and ridiculous. No other problems Exist in your life get real“

“the food was good. the service was a little slow. the manager was nice and gave me two coupons for a free burger. I thought that was awesome. the speed of service won't affect me going again.“

“I can't rate the atmosphere because it's a drive thru with very friendly and fast service. You have to try the delicious fish sandwich and cheese burgers. The chicken sandwich is delicious also. Bailey Avenue is a busy stretch and be cautious of other drivers. They love speeding in Buffalo and hardly no braking. I like the location it's a welcoming neighborhood. Drive cautious and safe.“

“We've been back to Golden Dragon twice very recently and were quite happy with most items. The menu is huge, so we expect we'll find a lot more to like.

Their lo mein is totally different than when they first opened and I love it now. I got beef the first time, but it comes with very little, so I opted for vegetable the second time. Not a lot of vegetables throughout (mostly on top, as you can see in the photo), but it was really delicious! Both times the lo mein noodles were the perfect firmness and had great flavor. I want it again and again!

Matt didn't enjoy his sesame beef. The batter is too thick, and the beef gets completely lost. I like that they will do sauce on the side. We like to toss it ourselves last minute so that it doesn't get soggy. Better for leftovers, too. They do charge an extra $1.50, but they give you a lot of the sauce.

The wonton soup is amazing! A small is only $3.95 and it comes with five big pork wontons. Makes me happy because I get wonton soup cravings. I'll definitely be getting this again.

The General Tso's Chicken is spot on. The pork egg rolls are good, your typical egg roll. The crab rangoons are also quite good.

Their prices are great and the service has always been friendly. I'm so glad we tried again, they're really close by, makes it very convenient.

We're definitely going to be frequently returning regular customers. Thanks Golden Dragon!!“

“Every time I go through there everyone is soooo Kind!!! And the foods always hot, fresh and there's one lady that seriously is the nicest on the microphone than any other McDonald's I've ever been too. Seemed like she might have been the manager. And also this one kid (and this is not racist) it's just because I don't know how name but he's a tall African American that is super nice on the mic, answered my questions about the ratio of how many people use the app that don't use it and he was so nice. Deserves a raise! I actually drive on my way to go to that McDonald's!! Unless I'm in Lancaster LOL. That's my other favorite one 🤣❤️❤️ thanks guys keep up the great work! Also that lady she deserves a raise too I swear out of all McDonald's I've been across this country she's the nicest one ever ever ever ever ever ever. !!“

“I don't like the fact that you cannot request extra condiments on the subs via food delivery apps, and as a result, what I received was a dry Philly sub with barely any mayo and oil. Otherwise, the overall sub was good, but missed the mark with the no option to add extra condiments. If the owner of the location reads this, if you add the option for extra condiments (mayo, oil, etc.), I'd HIGHLY appreciate it! Go Bills!! 🔵🔴“

“Cheap, and the best in town“

“Tried the fish burrito, seasonal during Lent. Delicious! Apple empanada so good. The restaurant was clean. Kiosks for simple ordering. Spacious dining area and kitchen. Staff was nice. A lot of pretty art work on the walls. Option to watch TV. Even an option to order a cold beer!“

“I ordered a few different things --- to test this place out. First the bad. The Chicken Carbonara Pasta was horrible. NOT Carbonara at all. Can't imagine anyone liking this pasta at all. I was pretty disappointed because it was the first time I have seen Carbonara on any menu in Buffalo (seriously, what's up with that?). But then I tried the Beef Samosa -- and WOW!! IT was THE BEST Samosa I have ever hard!! Will definitely get these again! And the Fried Chicken was also pretty darned good. Look, the menu is pretty extensive, and I am sure there are hit and misses. I'll review more as I go through it -- the Beef Samosa and Fried Chicken did encourage me to try more. (Oh, the Banana Pudding is not very good either.)“

“Love the beef tacos with medium amount of ETS sauce! I've been a customer off and on since about 1977 (?), when I first had the tacos and subs as a college student. Now I live out of state, so I get to Buffalo just once in a while. This summer I visited and was surprised at the price of the tacos, but the quality is the same (Soooo good!) I even turned my husband on to them. We bought a volume to take with us! The counter associate was very personable. The place is clean. Parking was adequate when we arrived.
Question: what kind of cheese(s) do you use? It's perfect.“

“Cheap cafeteria-style food prepared by high school students in a culinary program. It's not gourmet but there's a great selection and value of food. It's worth walking from quite a ways away, although since it's a school program it's not always open for lunch“

“Married a West Seneca native who introduced me to City Line Texas Hots! Fell in love with the flavor of the sauce. We left the area after 10 years and I have really missed those amazing Texas hots. My husband was a musician and he would pick up 4 or 5 dogs after he played most of the night and wake me up at 4 or 5 am and we would wolf them down...such great memories. I sure wish I could order the sauce to be sent to me...I have not had them for at least 3-4 years...I really miss them! :-(“
