“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.“

We will return in the not too distant future.“

“My husband and I were visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this place. So glad we did. Everything we had was amazing, and everyone was so friendly and inviting. I could eat that creamy polenta every morning, and the meatloaf dinner was outrageous! It did not feel like we paid for a meal…it felt like going over to a friend’s house for dinner. Highly recommend!“

“Visiting Mister Sizzle's with my boys is always a highlight for us; it's our special treat. From the moment we step into this vibrant burger joint on Buffalo's West Side, the atmosphere fills us with anticipation. What truly sets our experiences apart, aside from the inviting vibe and the staff's warm hospitality, are the flavors that await us. Mister Sizzle's is renowned for its diverse burger lineup and signature milkshake cocktails, offering something for everyone, including a delightful vegan option for those seeking alternatives.

However, the star of our visits has always been the milkshakes, particularly the cookies and cream flavor. It's the boys' go-to choice and never fails to impress. The rich, creamy texture combined with the perfect blend of cookies and cream is unmatched; it's the best milkshake we've found in Western New York, hands down.

The news that Mister Sizzle's is expanding to Hamburg, taking over a spot that holds memories of a past burger joint near Spot Coffee, excites us immensely. Their epic burgers are without comparison, and having them closer to home means more joyful outings with my boys. The anticipation for the Hamburg location's opening, where we'll get to enjoy our favorite burgers and milkshakes more frequently, adds a special touch to our future family outings. Mister Sizzle's, with its commitment to the community, environment, and quality, truly stands out not just as a burger place but as a beacon of good times and great food in Buffalo.“

“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.“

“Customer service was exceptional! Everything was so good! Finally ticked this place off my restaurant bucket list. Their mini donuts are to die for! 🍩 😋“

“I apologize for my black coworker.
She was very ignorant and she was apparently just being herself. I wish I could afford her a ticket! She's from the Falls so go figure.
I ordered the Mexican roll and ate all (8) pieces lol #1 I love this place“

“Penne pesto, I added chicken. And Got the extra sauce. Wow it’s delicious ! I will get it again. Thx for this amazing dinner“

“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!“

“If you're craving a delicious burger and crispy wings, BurgerIM is the place to be! Their burgers are incredibly flavorful, with a variety of options to suit every taste—from juicy classic beef patties to unique specialty options. The buns are always soft, and the toppings are fresh and perfectly complement each burger. The wings are a standout too—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they come in a variety of mouth-watering sauces. Whether you like them spicy, sweet, or somewhere in between, BurgerIM has something for every wing lover. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick, so you won’t be waiting long for your tasty food. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the mood for great burgers and wings!“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Buffalo Classic That Lives Up to the Hype!

We had an incredible meal at Chef’s in Buffalo, NY, and it absolutely lived up to its legendary reputation. The spaghetti parm with meatball was out of this world—perfectly cooked pasta smothered in gooey, melted cheese and topped with a rich, flavorful meatball. We also tried the sandwich parm, and it was just as delicious—crispy, hearty, and smothered in that unforgettable red sauce.

Speaking of the sauce—it was the real star of the show. Bold, savory, slightly sweet, and perfectly balanced. You can tell it’s a family recipe perfected over generations. The portions were generous, the service warm and welcoming, and the old-school Italian-American vibe made the experience even better.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Chef’s is a must-stop. You won’t be disappointed!“

“This place was great! I’m an NA beer drinking and my husband prefers tea & vodka. We came to this bar not knowing what to expect. We sat at the bar and we were greeted by both bartenders. I ordered an NA Italian beer and my husband asked them to make him something like a White Russian. The first bartender (we didn’t get his name) said he could make something even better, so he did. My husband really enjoyed it. It took some time for us to finish our 1st drinks because we were watching Aaron making the most beautiful drinks ever. There was so much passion into the drinks he was putting out. So we asked him if he could make us each a drink. I explained to him that I don’t drink alcohol, and he asked me a lot of questions, to see what types of drinks I like and flavors. He also asked if I had any dietary restrictions, which I answered, no. He then asked my husband the same types of questions. and then, he went to work. He was like a drink wizard! He served us two stunning looking drinks and words cannot even describe the way these drinks tasted! I don’t remember what was in my non-alcoholic cocktail, but I do know it had lemon and lime juice, and part of an egg white. It was phenomenal! Another great thing about him was that he told us the history of some of the liquors he was using in my husband’s drinks and the different flavors. He was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and a fantastic bartender! I work right around the corner, so my husband and I are looking forward to going back to see what Aaron can create for us next!
The atmosphere was very nice, the restaurant/bar is very clean and has such a great vibe.“

“Fantastic lunch. What a nice surprise. Can’t wait to go back!“

“I had an amazing time celebrating my birthday dinner with my family at Olivers! A special shout out to Devin our fabulous server who made our experience extra special. Our steaks were delicious and all our sides that accompanied our dinner were perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better night and highly recommend Olivers for any occasion. Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“Excellent pasta dish and very generous portions!“

“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.“

“Thank you so much for serving my mom non-garlic and non-onion Dal tadka with paneer naan. Very delicious hot served meal to enjoy . We loved the peshawari naan, malai kofta, paneer tikka masala and Mango Lassi. The taste at fullest. Thanks to Chef of Buffalo Tikka House.“

“Always the most amazing and fresh coffee around. The breakfast options are to die for.“

“My boyfriend introduced me to this staple in Buffalo back in 2024 because I love lamb chops.

Now every time I’m in the area I have to come here to get the Rosemary Lamb Chops.

We weren’t sure if it was open in July 4th and when Jenna answered the phone we were relieved.

Our meal didn’t disappoint. I ordered the lamb chop dinner with rice pilaf and zucchini and squash. My boyfriend had the potatoes, lamb chops, eggs and toast. The lamb was juicy and tender.

We left full and satisfied. We can’t wait to visit again soon.

I would highly recommend for a great meal anytime of the day.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We held my daughter’s bridal shower at The Tewksbury Lodge. The room is beautiful. The food was delicious. The staff were exceptional, really the very best. I highly recommend.“

“Love the people almost as much as the food. Great comfortable atmosphere and just an overall great experience every time I eat here.“

“GOOD FOOD GOOD SERVICE AMELIA IS AMAZING BARTENDER SERVER MY FOOD WAS AMAZING“

“Oralia is my favorite restaurant here. The chicken and rice bowl is phenomenal and I also like the chicken quesadillas. Food is ready quick which really helps when I’m on my lunch break. I also enjoy the smoothies from Pattaya. I did not like their bubble tea, though.“

“Really a fun little spot to hang out. The food is very good and they hold their own amongst a treasure trove of decent mex/Telmex places in the area.

But if you want a top notch marg. This is the one to hit. (Even though the giddy up is really my fave) . They even have them yo go which is so nice“

“Great spot with a great selection! Luv the breakfast options and the coffee too!“
