Kudos to owner Mike Carr and his awesome staff! The Village Inn has been a favorite of mine for many years, and I always look forward to my next visit.“

“We ordered the loaded nachos with chicken, light on cheese, and a stinger sub and fries last night. Delicious. Loved the food and the cheerful young girl who served us at the Drive thru window.“

“Wow, this establishment is a far cry away from the pirate bar it used to be back five some odd years ago. We came here from Hamilton for a new years dinner. Had the place to ourselves, it was nice. A gentleman, by the name of Harmeet owns this establishment. Very friendly gentleman, very inviting, greeted us and told us about the food and displayed a passion for his food unlike any I've seen before. He makes most his food and all his sauces from scratch. Things like the fries and mozzarella sticks he gets in bulk, but he ensures a quality provider. The mozza sticks had that nice gooey stringy stretch to them. The fries were the first hint this meal was going to be good. Well seasoned and crunchy, done just right. My brother's girlfriend had them in a poutine and the serving was very generous, definitely fill you up to the max with one order. She was very happy with this dish. My brother had the parm chicken sandwich and I had the Nashville Chicken sandwich. The chicken patty was perfect, so juicy. The Nashville wasn't your traditional style sandwich (usually garnished with coleslaw, pickles, and tossed in Nashville sauce) it had the seasoning dry rubbed on, I think there was a sauce to it, but the chicken was so juicy it really didn't need much. It was topped with a slice cheddar, lettuce, onions, and I think there was tomato, but I'm not sure. It was so good it was gone before I had time to really analyze it lol. The key take away from this meal was my wifes chicken wings... Of anywhere we have ever had wings, these by far were the best we have ever had. The breading was thin and not overwhelming, good meat content too. Generous saucing (she got the honey hot), and they are also marinated to boot, absolutely phenomenal. Harneet has a skill for his homemade sauces, he let me try his dynamite sauce (which for most people I would say is at the top of their tolerance for hot sauce, he also has hotter), but the ballance of sweet to heat is perfect. I can not stay enough about how good this food was. The place doubles as a convenience store, so its very unassuming. This place is on the route for one of my favorite motorcycle routes, so I will be back 100%. Thank you for serving me, and the outstanding dining experience.“

“Went there for st. Patrick’s day. Couldn’t be more pleased. We had a reservation and got seated immediately. Service was fast and friendly and the food was out of this world. I think I’d sell my soul for more sticky toffee pudding. If you want an idea of their service I watched a man straight up slap a glass of beer out of the waitresses hands (he was a hand talker and it was an accident) and into the wall. She was super kind about it and someone (a manger or owner) came over and immediately changed out everything and cleaned everything up while the server got a new beer. Everyone was kind and quick about it and had I not happened to catch it out of the corner of my eye. they were so discrete Idt I would have. As a table we tried the Sheppards fries, the corned beef and cabbage, corned beef sandwich and sticky toffee pudding and all were incredible. Definitely will be back!“

“My wife and I were in town from Montreal and were looking for a rarity in the Falls, a real pub. We immediately felt at home there. The local beer on tap was great, the vibe in the room was chill and the music (with apologies...Paige ?) was excellent. Really cool spot.“

“So delicious!!! We enjoyed every single thing we ordered. Highly recommended!“

“My favorite bar in Buffalo. The vibes are immaculate, great drinks, and the food is insanely good. I cannot say enough good things about them.“

“I had the BEST Peppercorn steak! 🔥🔥🔥🙌“

“Absolutely loved our dining experience last night! Truly our only great restaurant on Pine Avenue left! An one of handful of truly great restaurants left that are a genuine pleasure to dine in the city of Niagara Falls, NY.“

“We Love Mitchell’s tavern! The food is great, inexpensive and consistent! They have some great girls working there too but the best is Jennifer! She’s always so nice, friendly and accommodating! Never had a bad experience here! 10/10 would recommend!“

“I was here for a cousin’s wedding in Buffalo when we arrive to the tavern, the place was so incredibly busy. I couldn’t even think we would get food me and my family We sat down at a table and we got some service and everything was absolutely phenomenal. when I found out that the girl was making all the food, running it herself and taking the orders herself I was blown away She deserves a great modicum of respect and she deserves to be appreciated today“

“Perfect for late night tapas and wine with the girls. Friendly bartenders. Delicious olive oil cake!“

“Augie’s is a must-visit for burger lovers! Juicy, flavorful burgers made with high-quality ingredients and perfectly cooked every time. The menu has great variety, and the sides are equally delicious. Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere make every visit enjoyable. Highly recommend for a satisfying burger experience!“

“A delightful and might I say NECESSARY vessel for the moodier moods of Buffalo.
When it gets busy the space can easily feel crowded, so I prefer to go during the week when it's quieter- there is a small patio area in the front with a few chairs and tables that's nice to go out to though, especially in warm weather. The only thing I would like to see improved is the menu website, which is difficult to read and not the easiest to navigate on my mobile device.
*** edit: the website is so much better! Thank you!***
Other than that, The Merry Shelley is a great little spot. There's something cathartic about sitting beside the big bay window and sharing absinthe in the moody glow while you watch the snow gently fall for what feels like the thousandth time this winter. Depeche Mode may or may not be playing, and either way that's a good thing.“

“😍excellent food and service“

“Nice tribute to celebrating Jordan and Michael’s life’s 💙💙. Thank you I am Jordan’s cousin . The amazing love and support from the community.“

“Great location to enjoy a few pints and some comfort foods before a Sabres game. Easy walking distance to/from the Metro-line.“

“Love this place! It's like hanging out at your friends house. The bartender is Awesome and makes it enjoyable to be there!“

“hands down the best fish fry in WNY and a great price.“

“Don’t miss the Friday night fish fry.“

“I love eating here, its so homey and the food is delicious. Reminds me of a home-cooked meal from my grandmother's house. The restaurant has such a cozy vibe. The employees are so nice and the service was great. The prices are great and the menu has quite a few options from breakfast to lunch to dinner. Must try if you ask me“

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff — definitely a place you want to grab a drink and hang out at!“

“Pasta was overcooked. Sauce was sour. Had to ask for grated cheese twice before we got it. Same with water. The restaurant and bar were very busy but no excuse for the disorganization we experienced. Probably won't go back as Buffalo has many Italian restaurants with better food, atmosphere and prices. We went at the high recommendation of friends and were very disappointed.“

“Wanted a real bar, not a hotel bar while in Niagara Falls. Walked up and they had a Molson Canadian beer light in the window, found my bar. Walked in and went to the end of the bar by myself and ordered a Molson. The bartender, Frannie, said they didn't have it, haven't in years. Disappointed at first, but reminded of a lot of my hometown bars.
Sat alone drinking my beer when one of the regulars ordered a round of Duck farts. She then looked down at me and asked if I would do one too, I said sure. After the whole bar did a shot she invited me down to join them and asked me my story. We chatted a bit and then she introduced me to everyone in the bar.
I stated playing pool with two of the regulars and asked one of them what were all the plaques on the wall. He told me pool tournament plaques, as I beat him. Wasn't sure how that would work out. I bought a round of Duck farts and it was all good.
Had a great time. Areal local bar. Walk in and respect their house.“

“Lots of fun and excellent service!“

“I love this place! It can become a little crowded sometimes but I definitely think it’s worth it for the atmosphere. The staff are super friendly and it’s always very clean! I live in the area and it’s nice to not have to travel far for a good tap. The only thing I really think they need to improve is the parking lot. There are about four parking spaces and on a busy night there is no street parking.“

“Owner is like family!…plus live bands!“

“Food was great! We stopped there since it was a choice between another place that was had a 45-minute wait .We were very well pleased with the service and food.,“

“Brought the new year's in at this place nice people the bartender was very nice made a good drink the shot she made was good im not a chocolate shot drinker but it still tasted there was a couple in there they were polite they sat next to im more of a listener than a talker place worth stopping by“

Parking: There a huge parking lot there should never be a problem

Wheelchair accessibility: It's all 1 floor and all 4 bathrooms are big enough for any wheelchair to get in to with no problem ?“

“It's a quintessential dive bar. Not a big selection of hard liquor or beers but the essentials are there. The food menu wasn't too big either. Sadly they are a CASH ONLY place but the bartenders are great and on the ball with everything.“

“Great vegan options- lovely spot.“
