“Went in on a Friday night with my family and parents. I started with they're French Onion soup which was delicious, nice side small salad and has quesadillas. The quesadillas we're much larger than I anticipated and had nice big chunks of chicken. My husband has the grouper fish fry which I tried and was also extremely tasty! I feel like there's very few restaurants in the area (at least that I know of) that have Grouper on the menu regularly. My parents both had delicious meals, my toddler's chicken fingers were good. And if you get the chance to try the pistachio ricotta pie... It's to die for! Needless to say we will definitely be going back soon!Parking: Parking was packed but it was a Friday night. We were lucky to get a spot but I don't know where else you could park if the lot is full.Kid-friendliness: We have the absolute sweetest waitress whom my son fell in love with, but the staff was so nice about bringing over colored pencils and bringing his food out as soon as it was ready.“
“When I'm in Buffalo or Rochester and go looking for wings, this is the kind of place that hits the mark! I took some coworkers here for dinner and everyone enjoyed! We were there for wings, but also shared the pizza rolls, cheese curds, and beef on weck. Order extra and save for tomorrow's lunch! And anyone who's not from the area...ranch is for salads and blue cheese is for wing dipping...:>)“
“*EDIT 3/5/24*Been a few more time since my recent review and the wings have been absolute ? lately. The last 5 times I've been were right on par with some of the best wings around town. Sauces are spot on, big fan of the hot-cajun and bbq-cajun. Service has been exceptional as well. Boosting up to a 5 star now since the last 5+ times I've been have all been perfectBeen to this place twice now since Ive been told best wings in WNY. My first time was a major letdown, I did the Double Dip with Cajun and Honey Mustard, the wings were so overcooked that all I tasted was other leftover food from the char marks. I wanted to give them another try because I always feel like these types of bars have mediocre food during the days and then they step up at night when the rush comes in so I went in again on a wknd night and ordered the Cajun-Medium Double Dipped. Once again, I ran into 3-4 of the wings extremely overcooked but the other ones were 100% spot-on, flavor was killer and the chicken was on point. Only if I could get a full order of decently cooked wings then my review would be higher. Also docking a bit of a point because I was told their top shelf whiskey was Seagrams 7... I mean, I get its a local bar but really?Positives were that the bartenders were all super friendly and were flying around the bar. There was a large wait for bigger groups to get tables but that is expected on a Friday night in a smaller location like this. Parking lot was a zoo with people trying to find spots. Ample televisions on to watch the game and overall seems like a fun local spot.All in all, Id recommend stopping in if you are in the area. Its a good group of people but the Wings just haven't left their mark on me (yet). Im hoping that changes though.Overall 3.5/5“

“We gathered for a party. There were over 50 people, outside at there tiki bar area, and outdoor seating. The bar tender did her best to keep up with orders of food and drink. The roast beef was absolutely delicious. The prices for everything are very reasonable. The only downside is the conditions of the restroom. ~We'd return again, if invited to another gathering there.“
“Missed out on the kitchen but stayed to enjoy a couple brews. The bartender was attentive and made sure my beer selections were in alignment with my preferences. I like to start with a light blonde, enjoy the taste of a nice red, and end with a thick & sweet stout or lager.“
“I keep asking myself why I don't come here more often. Over the years, I have never had a bad meal at this place. Plus, if you're just stopping for a drink, the bar has always been pretty fun - always a nice group of locals, down to earth folk here. The menu was a really good mix of options with plenty of choices for everyone, no matter what you're in the mood for. Located just a short hop outside of East Aurora, I always find it's worth my drive from Williamsville to do a little shopping in town and grab a lunch or dinner at Kodiak Jack's. My latest choice was the prime rib and stuffed hot pepper sandwich. It was some of the most tender prime rib I have ever had on a sandwich. Chicken wings were half price, so we started with wings as an appetizer to split between us. The wings had a nice light crisp on the outside, and were tender and juicy on the inside. Perfection. Portions are hardy, there's no skimping here. If you're looking for a new restaurant option and want to turn it into an afternoon, drive on out to East Aurora and see some of the most beautiful shops and have a lovely meal.“
“We stopped here on our way home from Canada - so glad we did! Everything was homemade - even the pickles and potato chips. The food was outstanding and service was great. Would absolutely recommend going out of your way to stop here for a bite- you will not be disappointed!“
“Decent neighborhood bar. Not a huge draft selection but they have some good offerings on tap, including Warsteiner Dunkel the last time I was there. Didn't get food this time but previously have had their wings which were good. Service was fast and friendly.“
