“We stopped in on a Tuesday because we were shopping in the area and are so glad we did! The waitstaff was friendly and attentive, the ambiance was nice (maybe the music could be lowered), and the food was amazing! I had the duck two ways and it was gorgeous and perfectly cooked. He had the enormous pork chop, also cooked perfectly and juicy. Great cocktails and apps as well. Highly recommend.“

“Best location! Top brunch place ever!“

“Great cocktails and wine selection. Very creative and delicious. Small plates of beef tartare, and shrimp were tasty, with nice portions. Steak pomms frits large plate was delicious. Chocolate budino topped with crushed pistachio and citrus dusting was amazing. Thanks to our son for the gift certificate.“

“Always an amazing experience at Vice. Service is always on point, the food is fresh and the cocktails are some of the best in Buffalo.“

“Drinking is ok. But food takes forever, even when it isn’t busy. Fries cold, sandwich lukewarm at best.“

“Enjoyed an excellent dinner tonight at Savor. Food was delicious-there were four of us—two of us had the pork chop and the other two had the Swiss burger. Well prepared, juicy, tasty. Would have again. The $30 prix fixe dinner offers appetizer (we had the crab cake and the goat cheese and quinoa salad), main course and dessert (all excellent). Student/servers did a great job. Hats off to the chefs. Will return. Make sure to get a reservation.“

“We move to this area a few months ago and drove by the country cottage many times and we finally decided to try the breakfast. It was outstanding! The wait time was very short even when it was busy. The waitresses were very good and the food is awesome! The country cottage is definitely our new go to for breakfast! We've enjoyed the breakfasts here many times and each time it's outstanding! Very highly recommend!!“

“Food was AMAZING!! 10 out of 10 for the food and service. Our server Ryan was wonderful. He even greeted us all with waters (a cute little child cup for our son). Our server took the time to chat with us and was very attentive to our needs. We will definitely be back to eat there next time we are out this way!🍽“

“I had an amazing time celebrating my birthday dinner with my family at Olivers! A special shout out to Devin our fabulous server who made our experience extra special. Our steaks were delicious and all our sides that accompanied our dinner were perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better night and highly recommend Olivers for any occasion. Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“Great food, bartenders were awesome. The beers were fresh and there were plenty to choose from. One thing it does need is another TV at the other side of the bar. This would help when there are any home games on, you can watch it from either side of the bar.“

“Every time I’ve eaten at the Phoenix 269 the food was incredible- the service is perfect. I love the atmosphere and the patio. It’s a cozy, family run business that makes you feel like your eating with family! I had the shrimp dish / it was delicious. The ice cream pie was unbelievably good! I’ll be back.“

“MILKIES 🥛 is my fav spot. Get milked“

They truly saved the day after we were saddened by going to Coco Bar & Bistro’s service, we tried here again and it was one of the best meals we’ve had in buffalo. I had the winter chowder and my partner had the maple dijon glazed pork belly and both were phenomenal. and the wait staff was so nice!“

“absolutely fantastic home style Polish & American dishes. I highly recommend the Polish Platter. 😋“

“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.“

“First time here and cannot wait to come back for lunch/dinner. Had brunch and between the portions, prices and taste of the food...highly recommend going in and giving them a try! Service was also great!!!!!“

“On the phone Alex is especially great. He was very accommodating.“

“My husband and my family come here all the time. It is always spot on and the service is always amazing! Was just there for breakfast today and it was so good and the waitress was so nice. Keep up the great work, you’re always busy for good reasons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Since I became extremely lactose intolerant, eating out is always a disappointment. Not here! I could trust everything on the menu. I took a vegetarian friend and one with no food restrictions and we loved everything we ordered. Super friendly staff, great service and the food was outstanding. Mac and cheese, yes please!“

“Love this place!! Never disappointed. Our favorite night is Monday. Great deal on wings that are always perfectly cooked and sauced. Staff is always friendly and welcoming- Dan, Luke, Rob and Gary. Stop in a try the wings and one of the best chicken sammies around.“

“The Celtic Menu was planned for this week and a friend and I ordered the Seafood light cream soup and Fall salad with romaines, toasted hazelnuts, grilled orange slices,et cetera to start ! Each was so very delicious ! Before that we were given their complimentary amusebusce ( sp.? ) of their homegrown cherry tomatoes, flavored butter and asparagus. The breadbasket had Irish soda bread,and one other roll. My entree was two pieces of beautifully fried fish, and shoestring French fries,and Cole slaw. Best that I’ve ever had ! Another entree was a lamb pasty with vegetables. The crust was marvelous and the lamb gently seasoned. We could not resist the ‘pot pie’ on a light,crust with delicious vegetables. 2 desserts were offered but we must leave room for those on another visit ! The chef takes time to come out to the tables to check about the food,and the staff is VERY attentive . This was a wonderful experience, as every time we attend ! Treat yourself !“

“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!!!“

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

“Cool buffalo relic of the past. Older crowd, cheap pricing and a small parking lot out back. Went in at 9pm on a Saturday and it was just two patrons and the bar was ready to close by 10. But they open at 8am. Super clean facility especially for how much history it has.“

“Great vibe, food and service a regular family favorite every summer for years“

“Best place in town. The food is fantastic and always consistent. Reasonably priced as well.“

“Have been going here forever. It’s been a while and still top notch! Warm, charming atmosphere, consistent, fantastic service. Great place for a date, we had a great night , thank you!“

“Went to celebrate a friends job promotion and had a wonderful time here. I had the P250 burger, which was not only reasonably priced for this place but very delicious. Really enjoyed the shoestring fries as well and trying a different appetizers that were ordered for the table. Though I’m completely blanking on our servers name, he was fantastic and so accommodating for our party.“

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

“Great vegan options- lovely spot.“

“Went to Betty’s today for a little brunch/lunch today! We had Brian as our server, he was super attentive, gave great recommendations, and kept our waters refilled (huge plus). The portions were perfect if not bigger than we could eat. We enjoyed the patio and being able to eat outside. Definitely will be back!“

“Went for my mom’s Birthday brunch!
Quiet atmosphere, fast service and really good food. Usually I second-guess burgers made with any BBQ sauce for being too sweet. But this one, was just right. It was sweet but the tanginess of the sauce made a perfect balance!“

“Awesome restaurant and bar. The only thing that exceeded the food was the staff.“

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

“The service was quick and friendly. We stayed at the Wyndham hotel and had a quick delicious supper here.“

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

“I haven't had any problems with Tim's. I enjoy going before my afternoon shift at daycare. I always get a senior discount with no problem and drive though people have been very nice.“

“Excellent locale and who doesn't like an Irish Pub.. especially done right, with exceptional whiskeys that will tickle that lil or big pallet of yours... would recommend if visiting or live here in beautiful WNY... P.S. WuTang is for the Children. Thanks

Parking: Parking can be hit or miss depending on time of day.. either way you will not walk far unless you're just super lazy..“
