Restaurants in East Aurora

“I was in Buffalo for a game and made sure I came here twice. The Cajun Honey BBQ wings were haunting... It's hard to put into words just how good they were... it's like meeting that person you feel like you've known all of your life... like scoring a TD or making a game changing tackle in the 4th quarter... it's like getting a hug from your Mammy.”

“We just stopped for lunch at Mario's Bistro & Brews, our first time there. It's an unassuming little place but don't let it fool you! The nicest people and authentic, fresh Italian food made to order! I definitely recommend 'The Sunnyside', and the sweet potato fries were delicious and perfectly crispy! The chicken Florentine panini is also a winner! Stop by and support this great local business!”

“First off, I just want to say I do love your pizza and it’s refreshing to see a local restaurant that doesn’t sling the same style of Buffalo pizza that so many others do. I really think you guys need a full-service bar with taps and interesting cocktails. I feel your business would skyrocket if you had a larger building that could accommodate a big boy bar. I’ve lived and traveled all over and one place that would be worth a visit for you is Savoy in West Hartford, CT. They nail the business model of artisan pizzeria and cocktail bar. Either way, decent attempt at an operation and happy to have you in EA.”

“Very delicious, clean and friendly atmosphere.”

“This is a hidden gem! The young Turk sandwich is amazing! Turkey is so good and piled high! So glad o tried it!!”

“One of our favorite places to stop for happy hour or on our way to a dinner. Love that cider and beer are both on tap or you can go to the fridge and pick something unique.”

“I purchased the works breakfast sandwich and an iced chai latte. The sandwich was amazing. They put it on homemade English muffin and tasted so fresh. The iced chai latte was amazing as well. I would highly recommend.”

“We have always loved Arriba - it is a staple for our family and we always have a great experience, great food and leave happy. But tonight was exceptional and it was because of our waitress. She was phenomenal. She went above and beyond to take care of us and make sure we had everything we needed… and more. She was tentative, kind, and before we could ask for anything she was already bringing what we needed. I wish I knew her name but she had two long braids in her hair. If the owners of Arriba see this - please know you have a gem of an employee. We are always saying how the service at a restaurant almost matters more than the food. And well, we have always returned back because we love the food… but we are OVERLY impressed with the service we had tonight and it was one of the most enjoyable restaurant experiences we have had as a family. So thank you. ❤️”

“Love the coast vibe! Staff was awesome and was excellent too. I think I found my new favorite place!”

“The waitress were attentive. We waited long time for the food, about 35 minutes. I ordered the Chilean sea bass. The macadamia nut was a little burned. The portion was small. The vegetables came with it consisted of inexpensive ingredients: squash and carrots. I didn't like the mashed potato. I only took one bite.”

“Charlie's has THE BEST Fish Fry , not only in East Aurora, but in the whole area. It's crunchy on the outside and cooked to perfection on the inside. Comes with the usual sides plus choice of potato. It's enough for 2 meals and at the lowest price around. Delicious.”

“We stopped in while visiting East Aurora and was made to feel at home. The bartender was great and friendly, the covered deck was relaxing and the food was awesome. Definitely recommend.”

“I wish that I could have eaten the wings sooner, I traveled about 15 minutes back to my hotel before I ate them. they were flavorul, but not as crisp as I normally like my wings. The blue cheese, whixh is housemade, is excellent.”

“It had/gave off very chill vibes, only one thing that I didn’t really enjoy was that it was quite warm in there. Then again, that could’ve just been what I was wearing.”

“This is a hidden gem! The young Turk sandwich is amazing! Turkey is so good and piled high! So glad o tried it!!”

“We stopped here before my daughter’s XC meet. It was delicious! The bagels were huge and the dill Cream cheese was excellent. I also had a chocolate croissant and it was delicious! We love in Lockport but would definitely eat here again next time we’re out in East Aurora!”

“The absolute BEST ice cream you will ever put in your mouth”

“From someone who lived in Spain, the tomato raspberry gazpacho was the most delicious gazpacho I’ve ever had! Kudos to the chef.”

“I wanted to express my deepest gratitude to Kone King for coming to my rescue when I found myself in a bit of a pickle. After Charlap's bailed on me just two days before the event, I was feeling incredibly stressed and unsure of how to proceed. But then, like a superhero, you swooped in to save the day!

“The bagels, bread and pretzels are absolutely amazing!!! It will be our new place to head to on a Sunday morning!!”

“Have not been to the restaurant side since Anthony took over ownership. It has a completely different vibe! The food may seem like what you have seen on a menu before, but their take on it is absolutely fabulous! I have never had a clam chowder like the one served here. It is amazing! I would return for the clam chowder alone. The sweet potato fries may look typical, but their taste-like nothing I have ever had before. Not sure what their secret seasoning is. The wings rock. We left with doggy bags because we didn’t want to waste any of the delicious food! The chicken piccata, chicken Parmesan- might want to consider sharing! If you have been here before 2023 and been disappointed, you need to revisit! Trust me! And bring even the most finicky of your teens! They will be happy as well!”

“Nice bar I would like to visit it listen to music hang out have a drink”

“Charlie The Butcher continues to be the premier Beef on Weck of Western New York! Thank you for all you do for the community as well! Merry Christmas!”

“Nestled in a small corner of a plaza in East Aurora New York is Touka Sushi. As you walk in you're greeted by the cheery sight of their aquarium which hosts several happy, curious and vibrant fish.
I order the Beginner's Combo and have had it with the salad and at other times, the onion soup. To me the onion soup is my favourite choice. It's flavourful and simple tasting in the best way. It's lovely and oniony but also has a light mushroom flavour as well.
Everything is freshly made to order and is of such great quality. The rich is never cold and is always very tasty and tender.
The fish is so fresh. I am so glad that I know about this place and always look forward to having their sushi.”

“💕Won a gift card and some gear at a cancer fundraiser at Holiday Valley! 🙌 thank you for putting into our community and for making a difference. Enjoy top notch beer and fantastic meal. Your bar tender Bob was extremely welcoming and perfect representation of the heart of the company. Explaining how 42 North brewing company owners care about not just the community but the staff. Blessed to have this opportunity 42 we will be back!!!!”

“Owners are absolutely the nicest people ever! The quality of food is AMAZING! We bought a broccoli chicken pot pie to cook at home and it’s hands down the best pot pie I’ve ever had!”

“Once again, East Aurora didn’t disappoint! We stopped in at 189 Burger for dinner. Service was outstanding and the food was delicious! The burger was juicy, the chicken was fresh, and those hand cut sweet potato fries were amazing! There were lots of beers available, and their unique mixed drink menu had a good variety. We’ll definitely be back again soon!”

“My boyfriend & I came here for dinner while on an overnight in East Aurora. Outstanding food and service! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive and even changed the channel for us on the TV closest to us. The Kobe beef burger was phenomenal! Highly recommend. The service was more welcoming than other restaurants we went to in the area.”

“Perfect stop for breakfast/brunch. Pancakes, French toast, and waffles are delicious, especially when topped with fruit and whipped cream. Portions are generous. Our server was helpful and friendly.”

“I tried their hot apple cider and one of their muffins. both were delicious! a bit pricey and it can get crowded but they have lots of options and the staff are very nice”

“We just had our Son’s wedding there. Highly recommend the place. Food was excellent and the staff was very friendly. Their catering was terrific. Definitely would recommend this place for your next party. Also use Smoking Gourmet there in house catering”

“Had a great lunch @ Wallenwein’s…they have an extensive menu with lots of great items from which to choose. They were open when a number of other places were closed…a plus! Very reasonably priced, great service and decorated with cool historical memorabilia . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻”

“Solid lunch fish fry. Lil too much seasoning on lemon pepper baked fish but good. Excellent sides German potato salad on point. Need fresh cut fries frozen ones were good.”

“I just had my dad‘s 90th surprise birthday party at Kodiak Jack’s. Lisa was amazing and made the experience flawless. She was so easy to work with and had everything set up as we had planned. Food was amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone!”

“Our favorite place to unwind!! We try to come weekly, whether it be for just some wine and cocktails, their exceptional desserts, or a light meal, if one of suggests mambrino, the other will always say yes! The servers and bartenders are all excellent and extremely personable. I would suggest checking it out, but then you might sit on the couch, and that’s where we like to sit!! Either way, go check it out! I can share. 😂”

“I always enjoy going there. Local run with cider and beer made with ingredients local. Always a warm greeting. Loganberry cider, roasted marshmallow Beer. Fantastic”

“my biggest regret about Homegrown is that I can't go frequently enough!! everything I've had has been amazing. unique, fresh, and delicious foods all across the board. 😍😍😍”

“Delicious food, great service and pleasant atmosphere! Perfection!”

“very nice place to stop in for a sub. the young lady behind the counter was very friendly and helped us out even though we didn't really know what we wanted... She was very patient with us. we love coming to this little town everyone is so friendly. we will definitely be back. oh, and we came to see the grinch sleigh behind vidlers. It was the original one from the movie. We ended up going to the Aurora theater to see the new Willy wonka movie. Which, by the way, was really good. And that theater is awesome. What a gem, you must stop in and see it. all in all, it was a great day to spend with my wife. I do love her.”

“Had ice-cream here this past summer, I really enjoyed it, I got the soft serve but they have both, I also got the hand made waffle cone which was really enjoyable, place has a nice nostalgic video and a nice little park next to it to enjoy your ice cream”

“We had their steak burritos this past Sunday. These were the best burritos we have ever had! Fresh, delicious flavor. They were so friendly and professional which topped it all off. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Went here today for the first time. The food was amazing. Got brisket and blackened fish. Waitress was very friendly and took great care of us. We will definitely go back. Great job to everyone.”

“When I am near Buffalo with my family we make a point to stop at Mighty Taco and get many meatless mighty tacos. I hardly ever go in, just do drive through, but this time I did and found this delightful framed choking poster next to all the more serious historical photos and the little placard that said circa 2008 made me guffaw out loud.

Vegetarian options: Meatless Mighty - simple but gets the job done, comfort food”

“I have always loved eating here, the atmosphere would be enough for me, the food is just an added bonus. Anywhere that plays Frank Sinatra and friends in the dining room will always have my vote. The drinks are made so well, service is great, and food is always tasty, filling, and big enough portions to bring home leftovers.”
