Had the fish fry and it was the best I've had in a very long time. Many sides to choose from at a good price. Service was great. We'll definitely go back again.

Really disappointed in the fish fry. They are suppose to come with coleslaw and 2 additional sides. We ordered 4 to go and none had coleslaw. 1.5 hours into dinner service and they were out of potatoe salad and out of chicken fingers. They don't have tap beer and some beers are served warm with a plastic cup of ice. The set up is much more like a backyard private set up than a professional restaurant. The other sides were very small portions and the lemon wedges we got were the end cuts with no lemon. Ultra disappointed also that we sat at the bar and watched "regulars" get served while we got cut in line over and over. Not a welcoming feeling in comparison to other first time trys like say at Wallenweins were instantly you feel welcome and get an outstanding value.

I really enjoyed the fish fry. But the sides are all store bought. They would have a lot more orders if they just put a little more effort into the sides. The bartender/server is usually miserable. (Maybe wrong line of work lol)

I think we hit them on a bad night. It was the last Friday before Lent, and I might be inclined to believe that they were low on fish that night and planning to restock for the busy Lent season. The portion size of both the broiled fish and beer battered were probably the smallest we've ever had in the Buffalo area. And my wife's fish had several bones in it. The service was friendly and and top of things, which is why I am giving three stars rather than two, plus giving them the benefit of the doubt that it was an off night.

We stopped in for our first time. The wings were delicious , we ordered a dry rub and garlic parm crispy. They were hot and crispy, probably wouldn't order the garlic parm again due to a little lack of flavor. We also split a beef on weck with fries. The beef was a little dry but the roll was fresh and soft. The fresh cut fries were really nice. We will be back to try the fingers!

They do a great job.. Wings extra crisp and hot are the best And the roast beef sandwich is so lean without that fatty taste

This place makes amazing chicken wings.... beef on weck is very good and everyone seems to love their French fries also!

Incredible food, everyone was super friendly and great live music on Friday's. We tried it on a whim and have been back repeatedly. Highly recommend.

I've been coming here for a while now for their great food. Like other reviewers have said, this place is a hidden gem. Their made to order, homemade chicken fingers are by far the best around. Not sure why anyone would ever order frozen fingers after they've tried these. They're huge and come with hand cut fries, again, never frozen, always delicious. The wings are big and perfectly cooked. Can never decide between cajun, everything, hot or bbq on the pit, all are great. I highly recommend the "Grill".

Huge servings and good food. The building is a little small but there is also outdoor seating for nice days and a fire. Even some outdoor games while you wait.

We ordered out last minute tonight and got a fish fry and a pulled pork sandwich and both were cooked so well! The atmosphere in the restaurant was so calm and welcoming while I waited and the staff was so kind and attentive. Will absolutely be coming back, next time to dine in!
