“Always a vibe here !! Brunch is good ! Been a few times our servers are always amazing ! Great margaritas and mimosas !! Went earlier had Olivia as our server and she was very nice and attentive !“

“Awesome music, chill atmosphere, nice open air venue, reasonable prices on food and drinks!“

“I actually passed the place due to no signage, no lights on outside to speak of. Was kind of concerned in the parking lot, but once I walked in, all good! Friendly service, great wings, downright cheap prices, they even put the audio on for Monday night football. Would highly recommend.“

“Amazing place to stop for food and drinks . The French onion soup is literally one of the best I have had in WNY I don’t say that lightly. I absolutely love French onion soup . We have been here multiple times and have never had anything bad off of there menu ❤️“

“LOVE this place and certainly a destination location and very welcome addition to the Parkside neighborhood. Everything about this restaurant is to be admired… including 2 wonderful owners.“

“We loved Union before but now it is even better in the new location. The bar is awesome and there is a full dinning room now to come and enjoy a killer meal. I love the French onion soup, wings and of course Transit log!! Awesome downtown place!“

“I have been there several times it's a great local bar The prices are well within reason. They always seem to have bands on Fridays and Saturdays. It's the perfect neighborhood bar. This is a working man's bar. I love to go there when I can.“

“We were a large group that stopped by for drinks and Heather C at the bar was wonderful,“

“Great service Good food Clean“

“Great food. Great drinks. I will definitely go back. Such a comfortable clean restaurant.“

“Pizza an wings is really gd wish they GrubHub tho so I could order all the time“

“I went to raintree yesterday for the first time and I will definitely be back to try the food! I just went for a few drinks with a friend and I have to say the bartender was so friendly and welcoming. We chatted for a bit and had a few laughs. The people that sat next to us ended up being very sociable and had some great conversations. Its nice to know you can walk into a place and be treated like you been a regular. Thank you and I will be back!“

“12/10 wings and 12/10 service. The bartender and cook were extremely friendly. They treated us out of towners like some locals.. and seems like some can’t handle that based on their reviews. If you’re on the hunt for some true buffalo wings, this is a great spot to try!

I found out about this place via a Reddit post. And they nailed it. Very local, very dive bar atmosphere and that’s exactly what we wanted. If you have thin skin like I’ve seen in another review go elsewhere. But if you want some true authentic wings in Buffalo, go here. The wings themselves were awesome. Traditional wings with sauce. I did go with their house made hot sauce which was great. Not too spicy but full of flavor. Not a buffalo sauce, it’s their own thing.

I also saw another review complaining about the beef on weck. It must have been their first one because Kelly’s was perfectly cooked and prepared.

Definitely recommend!“

“Definitely recommend honey bourbon barbecue sauce for what ever you get.“

“Wings were great tasting and prices for food and beer are reasonable.“

“Went there before a play for dinner at Shea's Buffalo. This place is on the Chippewa bar strip, so we were not expecting much. Walking inside, it looks like a typical party/cocktail bar, brick walls, long bar, and tables opposite the bar with plastic chairs and Formica tables, so you are sitting in the bar. At 5:30PM on restaurant week before a nearby playing of Hamilton, we were the only diner's there (and only 4 others at the bar). Now the good part.... one of the best meals I have had in a long time!!!!! Waitress/bartender was prompt, attentive and friendly. The special for restaurant week that we had was $35 for soup/salad (I had soup), Duck with asparagus, yams, sprouts and and pie for dessert. This meal was fabulous! Perfect portion and perfect flavor. The caramel/peanut butter pie was luscious! On top of all this, we were there during happy hour, so $3 a beer. I highly recommend trying this place to eat, just don't expect a cozy, intimate atmosphere. You won't be disappoints, and you won't be broke.“

“Best fish fry in WNY!! The french fries are fresh cut, NOT frozen, which is always a plus, and the side salads are delicious. Service is friendly and personable. The beef on weck is delicious too! My only complaint is when table's are being cleaned, they use a spray bottle with Awesome cleaner and if you're close to a table being cleaned, you can taste it.“

“Da best spot on the Elmwood strip for food, drinks, and vibes. Jack Rabbit spreads ❤️“

“Friendly, welcoming, amazing bar for great service and a wonderful experience. We were visiting from Wisconsin for family trip and had the best time here! Watched the packer game and had plenty of laughs and drinks! We love Jon Fre’s and hope to visit again soon!!“

“Great music, usually no cover. Typical bar food menu. Tables available but service only at the bar.

Parking: Free parking, but not a lot of spaces.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking spot in front. No steps or impediments to getting into the bar or men's room. No handicap stall in the men's room.“

“Great beer selection! So much work was put into this place it is a great atmosphere!“

“lol this place isn’t “allen st bar & grill” or whatever, it’s The Pink. and i’ve heard their food is great (never eaten there because i’m a vegetarian). but one time when i was there i asked if there was any vegetarian food & the bartender served me some pickles, which was great. and drinks are cheap. great place to end a fun buffalo night. also if you’re a femme, you’ll make temporary best friends in the women’s bathroom every time. can you even say you’re a buffalonian if you haven’t been to The Pink? no. the answer is no.“

“Great food fast friendly service relaxing atmosphere“

“I can't say enough good things about Hot Mamas Canteen. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a warm smile that immediately made me feel at home. The owners are truly wonderful people; they take the time to connect with every guest, making you feel like part of the family.

The food here is simply outstanding. Each dish is bursting with flavor, and you can really taste the passion that goes into every bite. I’ve tried everything from the appetizers to the main courses, and they never disappoint.
What really sets this place apart, though, is the amazing staff. They’re not just friendly; they genuinely care about your experience. Whether it's helping you choose a drink or making sure you’re enjoying your meal, their attentiveness makes every visit special.

If you’re looking for a bar that combines great food with a welcoming atmosphere and incredible people, Hot Mamas is the place to be. I can’t recommend it enough!

One of the best things about Hot Mamas Canteen is that there's always something fun happening! From lively burlesque and drag shows to engaging events and karaoke nights, the entertainment never disappoints. It creates a vibrant atmosphere, drawing in a diverse crowd and ensuring that every visit feels fresh and exciting. Whether you’re there to perform or just to cheer on your friends, there’s always a great reason to come back!“

“Very accommodating - we truly appreciate their hosting our event there!!!“

“Got stranded at Christmas 2022. This hotel staff is absolutely amazing!! Very accommodating, super helpful. Other hotels are running out of food and these guys are making breakfast and a dinner for everyone. It’s truly an amazing crew. They are stranded with us and dealing with all the stress yet have a smile on their face!! A can not recommend this place enough, just because of the staff. Merry Christmas and thank you so very very much!!!“

“Nothing but good times at Crackers.“

“I went to Bada Bing. Had their pizza and it was delicious. The owners are great people.“

“I recently stopped here for the first time a couple weeks ago on a Tuesday night for karaoke with Okie Rich of Sooner Tunes Productions. What a nice place this is! The restaurant was full for karaoke and the customers really enjoyed the singers. I had the chicken wings and they were delicious! I met the owner Dena, and all of the employees were just as friendly as she is. 290 Slide Sports Bar and Grill will be a regular stop for me. I give it 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I wouldn't recommend the Steak Quesadilla as it was extremely salty. However the chicken quesadilla was mighty delicious.“

“had a chance to stop in at Lumbejacks patio grill. menu is your usual grill menu - burgers, sandwiches, fish, salads, hot dogs, fries, ice cream. all very good. you order at counter and they will bring you your food. we waited for our order a bit longer than expected. but that was because the place was hoppin'. what impressed me though was the young kitchen cooks and counter staff and how they worked their butts off. the crew was movin' and groovin'. i appreciated their hustle.“

“Love this place!!!!!Clean, great prices for drinks and such a warm welcome from the owner and local patrons!!!! Learned a lot about the history of the area - HIGHLY recommend!“

“The Runaround is a great place to go to enjoy a delicious meal in a warm, inviting atmosphere. Anne is a terrific hostess & an excellent cook as well. They also have live muzic on select dayz. Dealerz Choice Duo luv to play & eat at The Runaround. Alwayz a great time!“

“We finally have something good in the run down city (Niagara Falls) this place is very clean, great atmosphere and its BLACK OWNED!!!! they even have a kitchen that stays open late till about 130AM/2AM..I'm recommending this place to all out of towners and residents of Niagara Falls....Shoutout to The Mid #MTOKY“

“My experience at Betty's was most Devine. The staff are friendly and very helpful especially Amanda. I had an amazing roast beef sandwich with a crunchy juicy pickle.“

“Fantastic vibe and great staff !!“

“Love karaoke with KarioJoe“

“I moved to niagara Falls in 2007 and this became my watering hole. I learned that the owner was from my country of birth and his son and I became really good friends. We became inseparable for a few years and I would come to his bar VERY frequently ( had a little bit of an alcohol problem back then lol). Long story short, we had a falling out ( over something really stupid, as is usually the case) and I ended up moving away. I recently googled his name and found out he had passed away last year. He was only 41 or 42 years old. I'm completely shocked and heartbroken, haven't been able to get it out of my mind for the last 2 weeks. One of the most wonderful people I've ever met. Vlado I'll miss you forever!!...your friend Leo“

“Great food, great atmosphere and owner treats you like he has known you his whole life!“

“Service wasn’t great. Food was incredibly good!! We sat in the upper back. Waitress wasn’t around too much. And didn’t check in often. Waited a long time and did not get our second round of drinks…. The food was absolutely delicious!! Made up for the poor service..“

“Met the owner and his staff on business; saw the juke, the pool tables, the darts, and had a great vibe about the place, even though it wasn't super busy. Checked it out last night for the first time and wow was I impressed. Justin was our bartender, great service, great conversations. He makes a good Diet n Bourbon too. Place wasn't super packed but buzzing with good vibes of folks just enjoying their night. No knuckleheads, no creeper types. I sampled the Texas Hots and the Mozz sticks. Both great. The Hots were 95% spot on to the original Texas Hots in Wellsville NY. Between food n drinks my total bill (without the generous tip) was less than $30. Can't go wrong there. I'm sure I'm bound to become a regular there.

Parking: Parking's part of the plaza the bar is located in. Nice quiet safe environment. General area is well kept and maintained

Kid-friendliness: The vibe was definitely calm enough that if I wanted to bring my two teenage sons in for lunch sometime I would have no qualms.“

“You can't beat the prices! 20 bucks gets you an amazing 10oz steak and sides, plus amazing staff and great owners! One of my favorite places in niagara falls!“

“Food was great. Our server was very pleasant and beautiful. All around a great time“

“The bartender Taylor is amazing!! Highly recommend this place because of her!“
