Restaurants in East Aurora

“I cannot eat a regular beef on weck anymore because their's is so good. The service is always friendly and I get my meal pretty fast even when it is packed.”

“Delicious scratch meals! Always consistent.”

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

“I hesitate to give a great review because it will start to get really crowded, but its GREAT. The best sauce ever and really great thin crust pizza. The people who work there are friendly, personable, and eager to make sure you have a wonderful experience. In short, AMAZING”

“Very delicious, clean and friendly atmosphere.”

“Everything was amazing! I ordered the double cutlet flight, tiramisu, and roast beef for Christmas Eve, and my guests devoured it—especially the cutlets. I was working that day and needed to feed 30 people, and you made the whole process stress-free. We’ll absolutely be ordering again. Happy New Year!”

“We went for Sunday brunch. We had a group of 7. Staff was very attentive, putting tables together so we had more room, right there to pick up empty plates, friendly with customers. The food was plentiful and delicious. We will be returning, we have already chosen a date.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“Lots of options here in terms of beer to purchase in the store to bring home and beers on tap to drink while you’re there. We both got flights and enjoyed them. Seating available at the bar, a few tables inside, and a little bit outside. Great place to stop for a beer especially if waiting for a table next door at Bar Bill!”

“One of the best burgers we had. Cooked exactly how it was ordered. Fries were perfectly cooked as well. We would definitely stop back if we are in the area again.”

“The best steak fajitas I ever had!”

“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!”

“Absolutely amazing bagels! Impressive work.”

“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.”

“Beautiful place to dine with friends. Friendly staff, food was wonderful, the atmosphere was relaxing and the decor was amazing! Will definitely visit again.”

“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!”

“Old Orchard Inn is a bit hard to find even for GPS. Be prepared to not find it on the first try if you have never been here before. The entrance road is hidden, barely paved and rough. Parking is free though. Be prepared to drive slowly when you do enter the driveway. There is a steep upward climb when you walk to the front door. If you are elderly, infirmed or handicapped, a boy with a golf cart will come get you and transport you to and from if you encounter difficulty or simply require mobility assistance. I only know this because I saw it with my own eyes. The wait was a bit long (about 30 minutes). Judy was the waitress; I see reviews with her name from 2012. She must be a lifer. Nothing wrong with that, just an observation. She is in command and can handle any customer no matter what happens. She is a good photographer if you need that service as well. Later she brought more menus and took our orders. Although she is not bashful about giving orders as well. I had the grilled lamb salad. A "hard to get" at most places for sure. It was a grilled half rack of New Zealand lamb. Crisp spring greens, goat cheese, roasted red pepper, red onion and lemon chive dressing. Highly recommend this! The sides are served family style to everyone at your table. We had summer squash and carrots, and herb roasted red potatoes. Judy will not do substitutes! The blood orange creme Brule is splendid for dessert. The restroom was a bit silly. The towel dispenser was hung from the ceiling, also just enough room to turn around in there. So, no need to be concerned about sharing it with anyone, you will have plenty of privacy. There is outdoor seating and a duck pond when the weather is nice. There is also a fireplace if the weather is cool. Certainly, memorable and will never be forgotten. In the event you are looking for something very unique with a flair for charm, the Old Orchard Inn may be just your ticket for elegance, relaxation and fun. Caveat Emptor.”

“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 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!

“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.”

“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!”

“Ordered pancakes only. They weren't on the menu alone without sides but she said they had them. Pancakes were $13.95 with a side so I never expected the pancakes alone would be $12.95. They were good but thought it was kind high with no meat or eggs or anything else. I wouldn't have ordered them if I knew it would be so much for just pancakes. Menu was nice, varried. Service was good .”

“Honestly the best thing I've tasted in a long time it definitely has that homemade taste to it anything you get from here is just perfect!!!! I heard about it for a long time before I actually tried it and now that I've tried it I am completely obsessed!! AMAZING for a cold day great comfort food! the crust is seriously the best I've ever tasted and it has a PERFECT blend of ingredients! If you have never tried it you are really missing out!”

“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 . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻”

“💕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!!!!”

“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. 😍😍😍”

“Their food is fresh and flavorful!! The ramen dish with shrimp and veggies was delicious! So was the onion soup, tempura shrimp, and egg rolls! The service was so fast and our server was great! The restaurant is pretty, with comfortable seating and very clean! We highly recommend it!!”

“So excited to get a Jersey Mike's in our town. Food is ALWAYS fresh and they hire great people. Met Will & Adam and they're doing an awesome job. It's been here less than a week and we've visited twice already. Will for sure be weekly customers for life.”

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

“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.”

“My husband was given a gift certificate to Taste so we tried it out for the first time and had been routinely coming since! We love the atmosphere. Rustic building, hip coffee shop vibe. They offer tea and coffee options including seasonal features. Soup and Mac n cheese sides, breakfast, sandwiches, salads, comfort food like pot roast, and desserts displayed so you can make a choice. They have a cooler with drinks like pop, water, juices, and such, and beer selections including NA. We tend to park in the lot behind the building, walk up the stairs through the little pedestrian alley, and enter through the side door. Staff are always pleasant, food has been consistent, and the coffee is delicious. Restroom was clean when I've used it, but the tables have always needed to be wiped down the several times we've visited. There is the expectation guests will clear their trash, but perhaps adding the ability for patrons to wipe their table would be helpful. We wouldn't mind wiping it down before we leave or grabbing something from the station area to clean a dirty table before we sit as compared to not having a place to sit.”

“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”

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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”

“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.”

“the food, service and environment were top notch. Great smoked wings, tender brisket and melt in your mouth ribs. the beer menu is expansive. we will be back”

“My receipt indicates that Tay Took my order. He was so personable engaged in conversation with me. It’s always so nice to see young people like Tay. If I could, I’d give more than five stars.”

“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.”

“Dinner on a Saturday night for 4, glad we made reservations as it seemed to fill up fast. Service was friendly, but a bit hands off (Did not get offered any refill of water after a 1st glass). Complimentary bread service was decent and served alongside the soup/salad that was included with most entrees. Others said the house salads were quite impressive. The Rosa sauce was a highlight. Chicken and veal parms were well received, as was the eggplant. Whole group got lukewarm pasta, but luckily we had filled up by that point and just left it for a doggie bag. Tiramisu for dessert impressed the group - worth squeezing it in!”
