The calamari is by far the best I have ever had! The bartender Will was amazing and made our dining experience that much more enjoyable! We cannot wait to go back!“

“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.“

“My wife & I had a wonderful experience at Coco last night. All of the staff we interacted with were very friendly and helpful. Our server, Brie, was excellent - very attentive, courteous and personable. We shared the lamb burger and an order of moules - both were fabulously delicious. Prices were very reasonable. We will return in the not too distant future.“

“Ok I get it. It's a novelty. Good German Food. Service was not good. Band was too loud and played too long. Couldn't have a conversation. Didn't really care for this place. Hard bench seats not comfortable at all. Won't be going back.“

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

“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.“

“Chef’s is a true Buffalo gem for authentic Italian comfort food. From the moment we walked in, it felt like stepping back in time—in the best way. The atmosphere is rich with history, and the food absolutely delivers.

We started with the stuffed peppers, which were spicy, flavorful, and the perfect way to kick things off. For our mains, we had both the chicken parm and the eggplant parm—each one was generously portioned and packed with flavor. I tried the “double parm” with both chicken and spaghetti smothered in sauce and cheese. It was delicious, though next time I’d skip the parm on the pasta just for easier eating. Still, no complaints!

The house red wine was smooth and paired beautifully with the meal. And dessert? The cannoli was spot-on—crispy shell, creamy filling, just sweet enough.

Jayme, our server, was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and even packed up our leftovers with care. Portions are hearty, so next time we’ll likely split a dinner if we’re ordering apps again.

If you’re looking for a place that serves up generous portions of classic Italian fare with a side of Buffalo nostalgia, Chef’s is it. We’ll definitely be back!.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“Excellent pasta dish and very generous portions!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Okay, my fiancé and I go a lot to the hamburg location never ever have a issue… unfortunately today on a Monday night we both got caught up in work late in the night so we went to the location downtown to grab food togo. When arriving home (a 25 minute drive) and opened bag there was No sauce and 6 sides of pickles that wasn’t asked for instead…. Called back right away and asked for a manger (emily), Emily was not only upset and frustrated with us because we are HUGE sauce people but also wanting to fix the issue right away.. we paid cash and opted for a e-gift card, Emily Right away emailed us $50 for our next visit. My fiancé and I had really hard day today and she made a bad day turn to a good ending,“

“I would love to give a very positive review but as of right now I cannot every time I go to the hertel location there always out of milk . the regular ice cream is great but I only do milkshakes cause I drive alot please fix y'all's problem of running out of milk.“

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

“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.“

“Hands down one of the best meals and experiences we've ever had! Our server Joe was phenomenal, manger Mike gave us one of the best anniversary dinners ever! From beginning to end we loved every moment! Thank you for giving us our new favorite date night spot, we can't wait to come back!!!!“

“This place is one of my favorite sushi spots. The pricing is fair, the employees are always so wonderful and kind, and the food never fails to exceed my expectations. And the sake selection is fantastic! Truly always a fulfilling experience coming here“

“Loved the food! I tried the Rogan Josh Chicken recommended by the waiter, and it was fantastic. I didn’t really enjoy the roti-it was a bit hard-but overall, the food was great. The place was clean, had a nice ambience, and the staff were friendly. The pistachio kulfi was delicious too!“

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

“delish food, friendly service and will definitely be back again! check them out..you'll be glad u did!“

“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!“

“Okay folks, as a Buffalo transplant (NJ at heart) let me tell you that it has taken almost 15 years to find a local deli that does subs “right”. I have a very short list of Jersey approved spots in and around the city and Zios crushes every single one of them. It’s been a long time since I’ve had access to anything like my Mimi used to make. There is absolutely no way you can beat the value you're getting out of this spot! I triple Diggs dare you to even try to tell me the next closest restaurant around the village or dt that comes close. P.S. for the next curious cat browsing for lunch around here- please disregard the gentleman who left a review stating he still thinks he can get better subs at wegmans. That guy most definitely eats his wings with ranch…and utensils.“

“Excellent food, excellent service, extremely clean and just a bright. The Beef on Weck was so tender.“

“Visiting from Orlando and glad I came across this place. The turkey and rest of the ingredients that made up my sandwich all tasted so fresh. Get there early to have more options as far as bagels and types of bread because they do sell out. Will def be back if I return to buffalo.“

“I was here alone (had planned to bring friends but it fell through) and sat at the bar where I got two awesome, creative cocktails! Dinner was the musakhan chicken pasties (they are a size somewhere between a pierogi and an empanada) and dessert was the sticky toffee pudding. Everything was excellent and clearly prepared with much care and skill.

Lots of interesting menu items and a lively modern bar vibe. Highly recommend for a night out with friends in Buffalo.“
