“Culinary Perfection in Buffalo Buffalo is truly privileged to have a dining establishment as exceptional as Lombardo’s. Much like the gridiron perfection we are witnessing from the Buffalo Bills, led by Josh Allen, Lombardo’s delivers a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the realm of fine dining. Everything about this restaurant exudes excellence—from the impeccably crafted dishes to the warm and inviting atmosphere, from the attentive service to the dedication of its ownership. Watching Tom Lombardo and his son Tommy work together this holiday season is a heartwarming sight that reflects the family values and passion behind this establishment. Simply put, Lombardo’s is a place you shouldn’t miss. It’s more than a meal—it’s an experience that defines culinary perfection.“

“We love Big John!!!“

“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.“

“Wow!!!!!! I cannot believe I have never eaten at Chef's!! That was fantastic!! The spaghetti parm I had to try....it lived up to all the hype and reviews. Thanks Kenzie....our server...was absolutely amazing!! The nostalgia of the place also added to the incredible dinner.“

“First time here tonight and OmG was so good. The service was great and amazing food. We will definitely be back next time we are in new York!“

“This place is special. The service is next to none !!outstanding!! The food is extraordinary to say the least!! Period!! The cocktails are unique and their nuances are more than refreshing. Jake Strawser the owner is the real deal and honestly a pleasure to call my friend. There are now two Ian’s that will not disappoint you. Ian the exemplary Chef and Ian the wonderful Barman!!! Make your reservations now. Trust me.“

“When I die, I want everyone in attendance at my funeral to be fed the onion naan from Buffalo Tikka House. This is seriously the best Indian food in the city and every time I walk in they’re so sweet and hospitable. One of my favorite dinners in WNY!! 10/10 every time.“

“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.“

“This is one of our favorite local restaurants.my songs loves the ramen which is always hot, delicious and great portions. My husband and I are huge fans of the poke bowls. Everything is always fresh and delicious. It is one place we can all always agree on and everyone is happy afterwards. The family that owns it are wonderful and always provide excellent service!“

“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.“

“Went for dinner on Easter Sunday, Staff was great and atmosphere as always top shelf. My wife had filet it was perfect, I had rack of lamb, but it was not a rack but 2 rack bones with 3 inches of meat hanging off, I could not even cut the meat with a steak knife, had to send it back to be cut. beware when you order a rack $70“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Excellent pasta dish and very generous portions!“

“Service was excellent (thank you David) Food and excellent, the bartenders were excellent. 10 out of 10“

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

“Best location! Top brunch place ever!“

“Best place in town. The food is fantastic and always consistent. Reasonably priced as well.“

“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.“

“I came for the matcha on tap and was not disappointed. As a tea drinker there are not many places to find a good matcha. I purchased the iced pistachio matcha and it was amazing. Their summer bun with homemade plum jam was also very tasty. If you are a vegan, there are plenty of options. I will definitely be coming back at least once a week. The staff was very personable.“

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

“Food and portion size were excellent with friendly service and cozy atmosphere ! Definitely a must try!“

“The food was The bomb, the drinks was the bomb, the waitress was the bomb !!“

“Stopped by while working in the area. The service was fast and friendly. The beef shwarma was amazing, flavored perfectly and the beef melts in your mouth. The fries were great as well and a generous portion. I will be stopping by again as soon as im in the area!“

“The best Sushi in town ! Always a delicious meal“

“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.“

“We went to Shango’s for my daughter’s birthday. We were not disappointed, the food was delicious. It’ a small restaurant, so you need reservations. This is definitely a five star restaurant. I would go back again in a heartbeat.“

“Great little shop with a variety of great tasting creations!“

“Gotten Pho here a couple times, and it’s soooo good.“

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

“What a great atmosphere! The food & drinks were absolutely amazing 🤩 Thank you!“

“We just enjoyed a wonderful Breakfast with Santa at The Tewksbury Lodge for the third year in a row. Everything was amazing! The food, the service and the atmosphere were all top notch. Our granddaughters, 5 & 3 yrs old were so excited. Santa greeted all the kids as he entered, and then was so sweet and kind to the all the kids as they were called up, by table, to visit with him at his special chair. Each child received a bag of goodies. You could feel the magic in the air and on the smiles of the kids, parents and grandparents. The Tewksbury Lodge has this breakfast down to a science, systematic and efficient while not rushing at all. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas experience! We'll definitely be back next year! Merry Christmas!“

“Wednesday is 1/2 off Vegetarian Pho!!! SOOO YUMMM!!! 😋🍜🙌🏼“

“Every dish was bursting with flavor! You can truly taste the love and tradition in every bite.😋“

“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.“

“We stopped in on a mid-Saturday morning. We first heard of them via the Buffalo Cafe Passport. It was extremely busy, but the sandwiches were worth the wait. I had a Nina on a pretzel, and the wife had the Ailia on a bagel, both with hash browns on the side, and they were delicious! We also got a Giant Cinnamon Roll to enjoy at home. The coffee is Tipico, a locally roasted brew we have enjoyed before. The next time we come, we will likely come earlier in the morning, and order online first.“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — A Hidden Gem in Buffalo!
We had an amazing experience at Downtown Bazaar trying the Thai food stall—absolutely delicious! Every dish was bursting with authentic flavors and perfectly balanced spices. The Pad Thai was one of the best I’ve ever had—fresh, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The green curry was rich, aromatic, and comforting, with tender chicken and just the right amount of heat.

The service was warm and friendly, and the food was served quickly and piping hot. You can tell they care about quality and authenticity. The portions were generous, and prices very reasonable for downtown.

If you're in Buffalo and craving Thai, this spot inside Downtown Bazaar is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes!“

“Bacchus…THANK YOU for a wonderful meal with great service. We thoroughly enjoyed our entrees of Lobster tortellini, shrimp puttanesca and pork chop. The octopus app was delicious too. Service was outstanding and the valet driver even remembered our car! Impressive! We’ve dined here many times and will continue to do so!“

“Went here for the first time and omg the food and the waitress we had were amazing definitely going to come back and I definitely left full and happy 😊“
