14 Best American Restaurants in East Aurora

“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!“

“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.“

“It's a nice family place to eat. The food and service is good. We went there many years ago and then they closed for a few years. Now they reopened and it's like it never closed. The menu offers a wide variety to please everyone so you won't be disappointed. Enjoy!“

“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!“

“Absolutely wonderful experience. I don't get out to EA often but when I do I always try to stop at Taste. I love their use of seasonal ingredients, their food is always so fresh and delicious and presented beautifully and everyone working there is always so lovely and pleasant.“

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

“Waited an hour to get our table on a busy Saturday around 5 PM. Hostesses and servers were polite and helpful. Over all food was some of the best we’ve had since moving to the area. Beef on weck was hand carved and portion for the small sandwich was larger than expect for my wife. The table shared medium wings and butter garlic bbq wings along with cheese sticks and chicken fingers and waffle fries. Overall, everything was done just right!“

“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 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!“

“My wife and I go here any chance we get. The atmosphere is comfortable. Either in the warmer months out back or inside when it is snowing looking out. Nicer than home with the ambiance. Food is always great. Drinks are to die for and desserts are sinfully good... A++++“

“Had the bang bang burger, awesome is an understatement! Really looking forward to going back & trying the Ruben rolls & a burger.
At first thought menu was a little limited but after my burger, looking forward to trying the others.“

“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 . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“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.“

“Wonderful, laid back place. After a day of walking around the village; my man and I stopped in for bowling, drinks, and some video games. Very enjoyable. Good drafts. The bar staff was very hospitable and friendly. Shoutout to Dominic and Kirstin, you all are awesome!“
