“The Byrd house is my second home. For starters, the staff takes pride and joy in providing great service for each and every customer. The bosses, managers, and employees strive to make each customer’s experience great and memorable. The menu is crafted from quality ingredients and the cooks work very hard to make consistent, quality, and delicious food. The atmosphere is very cozy and comfortable and casual. I recommend the Byrd house to everyone on this planet.Dietary restrictions: We offer many dietary options for anyone with allergies or dietary restrictions.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly! There’s even a duck machine in the front to play!Wheelchair accessibility: Back ramp behind the building!“
“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...:>)“
“Fun place with super nice staff and a great selection of brews! You "rent" a card per person with your credit card on entry. Grab a fresh glass and select and pour your own brew choice - whether an ounce or a full glass. A selection of wines and hard ciders were also available. Atmosphere is very casual and there is a lot of outdoor seating available in better weather. Food was good - pub style choices.Kid-friendliness: Not a place for kids, although I'm sure they are welcome...“
“Loved it! Very nice gathering place. Also provides parking. I was there for a benefit/fundraiser and found it to be a great place to hold such an event. There's plenty of space, a kitchen and Bar. It also has multiple rooms for use. Two thumbs up ?“
“We did a call ahead take out order for 9 people for lunch at the office. They were very efficient with taking the order and it was ready within 45 minutes. I believe I spoke with Thomas at pick up and he was super sweet and offered to help me carry the order out. I personally ordered the candied garlic burger and the flavors were incredible! No complaints from anyone regarding any of their orders!“
“If you're looking for a warm and casual place to grab a fantastic brew, be sure to check out Magic Bear. Whether it's your first time or hundredth time visiting, you'll feel right at home. The owner, Craig, is knowledgable and one of the kindest shop owners you'll meet. If you're a beer nerd, Craig and his staff will never fail to give you a recommendation that matches or expands your palate. If you're not, they'll be just as sure to find something that you like. Definitely check this place out!“
“Love this place on the north end of Conesus like Anthony is great behind the bar. Very laid back atmosphere. Great clientele. I’ve DJed there a few times and everyone is very receptive. I’m looking forward being back there on April 15th“
“The band was great, but so was the venue! Different levels for viewing the stage and dancing, the eye-catching collection of album covers, and the open garage door that allowed ventilation and also a little outside smoke for anyone nostalgic for the smell of the bars we used to sneak into. Such a great space!“
“Clean, worn but cared for. CASH ONLY, atm on site.Highlight- consistent high quality simple food with a rotating special menu at more than fair pricing, easily have a drink, and meal for $20-25 with a tip.Bar is cozy, restaurant roomy on the simple side.Parking: In front, and to the left of building NOT TO THE RIGHT, that is private parking for the business next door and may be ticketed or towed.“
“I’ve been here for a night out with friends. It was a great vibe, outstanding service, and great prices. I recently had the wings as I’ve been told they are great. I would say they are some of the best in the city. I ordered them medium extra crispy. Even with it being takeout the wings kept their integrity and tasted great! Plus they have homemade bleu cheese“
“As a Canadian, I had high expectations for Buffalo chicken wings. We ordered the hot flavour and were not disappointed. Beer is ice cold... and we met the most lovely man named Matt ? was a great spot and felt totally comfortable like a local pub xo cheers to Matt you are a “
“We visited Blue Cave Restaurant for the first time! Everything was amazing. Their craft cocktails were delicious. Food presentation was beautiful and the taste was superb. Our serve was attentive but not overbearing. They have menu items labeled for gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian. Highly recommend.“
“I have been to this restaurant twice and I really enjoyed my experience both times . First of all the menu is outstanding and reasonably priced . That is not counting the specials - new specials are posted on their Facebook page every day ! This past visit my aunt and I ordered two entrees - the chicken inferno (stuffed banana pepper, sweet chili sauce ) and crab stuffed haddock . Entrees come with fresh bread and a side salad. I was able to upgrade to a loaded baked potato for $3 (worth it ) . Food was as delicious as they appear in pictures I posted. Plenty for leftovers . Server was kind and accommodating . Dare I say Rust Belt is one of the best restaurants in the south towns ! Try it for yourself and see if you agree ....“
“Truly a special place. Unlike any other bar. Bartender was friendly and chatted us up. Open mic night was fun and it’s clearly an institution-full of regulars and the fact that we didn’t feel unwelcome was nice. Worth a visit just to check out what decades of people adding art and memorabilia on the walls can create.“
“Walked in during the Raven and Texans game. Ordered 2 beers, had them in 2 minutes. Ordered 2 fish dinners. Received them so quick while settling in at the table. The food was so good I forgot about drinking my beer. Was greeted by the owner and some local friends. Absolutely a great time.“
“We had an absolutely amazing experience for our friend’s bachelorette party this weekend. Our instructor, Sam, has such amazing energy and made our whole experience such a blast. Loved the atmosphere, food, drinks, and staff. Will definitely be returning on our next trip to Buffalo!“
“The food and service were wonderful. The bar was way too small, it only fit the couples. The upstairs bar was closed which was large and a much better set up. This was unfortunate because the bartenders skills were great. Close the downstairs one and open upstairs. You'll attract a younger crowd up there. The beef tartare was my favorite dish of the night but my lobster was also great.“
“The exact embodiment of an Irish Pub you'd imagine if someone asked you to think of the ideal Irish pub, except without the stereotype redhead with green eyes at the door. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Food was decent, drinks served fast, and probably the best spot to take a date on Saint Paddy's (which I failed to do).Edit to add: each time I've been by here, Megan has been hostess/server. She's great! Instantly personable, relatable, a delight.If you can afford to spend a bit, the Banshee is really the best little spot to hang out. The charm of the space, and the staff, makes each visit deeply satisfying.Parking: There are a number of paid parking lots and paid parking garages in the area, but it's smack in the middle of downtown, so expect to pay for your time there. Ride services and cabs are ideal anyway, to prevent bad judgement after a few pints. To be honest, parking right in front of the building on Franklin St is *supposed* to be city street parking with meters, but some ppl have said they park there constantly and never pay anything (at least not in the afternoon/evening). Your call if you want to risk it. You can also pay $30 for the lot next door, if you really need some peace of mind.Wheelchair accessibility: Although the upper floors won't be accessible, the ground floor doors are accessibly wide and swing light on their hinges. The bathrooms can be a little snug to get thru the doors, but there are of course accessible stalls when thru those.“
“Honestly some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had. My fiancé and I just found this restaurant by luck and it made our whole trip! Our server Nicole was incredible and I know our experience wouldn’t have been the same without her. Highly recommend and I know we will be back soon! ☺️“
“My son and I love 99 Brick Oven. He always gets the margarita pizza and cheesy garlic bread. I try to try some different menu items. Food is always amazing. Staff is always amazing. When they first opened I called to ask about the pizza because my son if very picky. They told me if he didn't like the pizza it would be free. He LOVED the pizza!! We love sitting outside on the patio regardless of weather.“
“My husband and I had the best dinner ever at the Dog Bar on New Year’s Eve. I had surf and turf and he had the sea bass. Everything was cooked to perfection. The service couldn’t have been better! What a wonderful way to welcome in the New Year! We will definitely be having dinner there again soon!“
“Outstanding experience, best wings, and handcut fries in Buffalo. The wait times might be long but your food is brought as soon as it is ready as well as "ordered". Two spots to order from being the bar and one of the 12 tables located behind the hostess. Expect wait times of an hour at open and some open seats by 7/7:30. Went on a Saturday and had a great time talking to both tourists and locals. Order a drink so that the wait feels less like an hour and a half and more like twenty-five minutes. Cannot wait to come back and try the HOT wings as opposed to MEDIUM. They are known for their hot sauce.“
“A cute bar with a great selection of beers, on tap and in bottles. An extensive wine and cooler collection but what really makes the visit worthwhile is the AMAZING server who was very friendly, bright and you can tell she loved her job! She learned it was my birthday and gave me a complimentary Pink lemonade slushee!! It’s the small kind gestures that make your day and ensure you’ll always come back again! They also have a full calendar of events during the week to check out such as a Taco truck, BBQ night and even a Jazz band! If you’re in Hamburg and a laidback situation is your vibe, drop in! Thank you!“
“This place is not a dive bar. Yes they categorize themselves that way but they have great food at a great price. Their burgers weigh at least a half pound probably more, drinks are super cheap and the atmosphere and staff is awesome. Love this place it's a new regular for“
“Its family run. There open later then near by bars. They have some real good food I love the pizza logs. They have awesome cool down to earth just amazingly great bar tenders.my favorates.. Yes I said favorites are Charlie and Paulette.. Its down to earth and have good family AND adult functions for holidays and more. There is a fish fry I believe every Friday. Remember to tip!!!“
“Food specials are delicious deals. Ten wings or 3 tacos and a domestic bucket for 20 bucks. Hot, saucy and crispy? Jen is an amazing server, juggling the bar kitchen and tables. TVs placed just right to watch the game. New outdoor patio is perfect for warm summer nights with friends. Dart and cornhole tournaments and of course karaoke.“
“Yesterday my Gigi and I found this place. We were in town for a dance competition at sheas and didn’t know the restaurants around. We started walking and by the grace of god found this amazing place! First of all the atmosphere is amazing. The staff was friendly. Our server (I wish I had gotten her name) was probably the best server I have ever had. then came the food. Oh my god! The ricotta gnocchi is literally bites of heavenly clouds in your mouth. Moral of story probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had (and I’m picky) this place will now be my favorite restaurant. I will happily travel from Fredonia to come here!“
“Really enjoyed the fried pickles(great batter) and cheese fries. Good American Menu. The band was WAY too loud and the sounds were very unbalanced, couldn't hear or understand anything. We had to wear ear plugs.Vegetarian options: Really good veggie wrap.“
“My current favorite place to order fish fry takeout. The beer batter is fried to a crispy perfection. The sides are hit or miss, the potato salad was not good the last time I ordered. But was still pretty happy with meal overall. Do recommend!“
“Vegetarian options: Ask the head chef or someone who knows the menu before you order.Kid-friendliness: It's a bar/restaurant but people have kids in there all the time, hopefully they got fed.Wheelchair accessibility: The kitchen and main bar are all on the first floors you have to make it through 2 doors, so if you're in a wheelchair hopefully someone opens the doors for you out of politeness because there are no 'automatic' doors.“
“Every single time. Every time! We have the best food, best service, best experience. It is the perfect escape for lunch and dinner. You can tell I’m obsessed. The pineapple habanero, the quesadillas, THE FISH TACO! And duh, margs, top shelf, top experience, Grace Anne is my FAVORITE part. I can’t say enough about this place. If you need to ask, don’t- just go.“
“The fish fry was so good!!! The fish was crispy and they gave me a huge piece! The tuna Mac salad was delicious and homemade. The fries were fresh cut and cooked perfectly. It also came with a sauerkraut pasta salad, coleslaw and bread with butter. Overall it was a excellent meal and I will definitely be ordering from here again.“
“Of course we picked a bandits game to visit this restaurant/bar. We were immediately greeted at the door and at that time the place was still not too busy. Tables were nice and clean, and some tunes playing in the place. Ordered a cheese pizza (cause what kid can say no to cheese pizza), bbq wings and some fries. Wings were perfectly cooked, great bbq sauce and the best part is they were nice and crispy. Fries, again good portion and cooked nice and crispy. That pizza though, must be cooked in a magic oven. Perfection. Probably one of the better pizzas I've had in a while. This place is not a well kept secret, so come early if there's an event going on.“
“My 1st time here tonight. The bartender is super!! i asked if they could do a hot cajun wet wing and they said yes. let me tell u...these wings may be THE BEST hot cajun wet I have ever had. And extra crispy as requested. Put it on the menu STAT!! Not to mention the prices are amazing. We will be back!“
“Fun place , met a guy named Hammer there ... he seems to be the mascot of the bar. Hammer turned out to be a funny guy who really like to talk about pro wrestling , and he even got in a friendly but heated debate with a patron about Hulk Hogan vs John Cena ...Would have stayed longer but there was NO food available .“
“Vinny's is such a great local dive bar. They have great wings for a reasonable price. Their fries are really good too. Cheap beer and drinks. A bunch of TVs all around the whole place to watch football games. They have an indoor and outdoor section so you can have a good time there all year long. They are cash only.“
“It's a nice little friendly bar. It's like cheers on most nights meaning everybody knows everybody. They have a kitchen where you can get wings or complete meals. I have had fish and shrimp, fries onion rings, okra, macaroni and cheese, greens and cabbage and I think that's it. Oh I've had they're wings too many times. They typical cooked they way you ask so be specific. The hot wing sauce is not hot. That's not a plus for me. The drinks are nice a reasonably priced. Almost Every time I go someone's is offering to buy my drinks.“
“If you're going for the music scene/acts, then you're definitely going for the right reason. They have some of the best acts between local bands and big label/big name bands as well. It's a pillar of the city and local music scene!“
“Coupked with new open container laws allowing residents to walk around with their beers, Fattey Beer Co is the best thing to happen to Central Av in the 25 years I've lived here. Staff is consistently fantastic. We joined the mug club and go there frequently. Having a selection of sodas, waters and juices is fantastic and meeting all the doggies that are welcome there always makes us smile.“
“I stopped in after work recently. I ordered the wings and had 2 bottles of Labatt's Blue. I usually go for the regular Buffalo style hot wings on my first visit to see how they handle the basics, and these were very solid wings. Large, crispy outside, juicy inside and the hot sauce was hot but not REALLY hot. Just hot enough. I must have arrived during happy hour because the single order of wings was $12.50. I was expecting more like $15. It was a good deal considering the high cost of chicken wings at most establishments. Bartenders were friendly as was the cook who delivered the wings. It's a typical neighborhood pub, but I didn't feel the suspicious eyes of the patrons when a non-regular enters that you sometimes encounter at neighborhood taverns. I kind of remember this location being called "Stony Point" back in the 80s. It probably hasn't changed much since then other than the large flat-screen televisions, but it doesn't need to change. It's great the way it is.“
“Love this place. It’s a very relaxed atmosphere with tons of options. They are huge supporters of local breweries and ciders. I’m gluten free, and they have always had ciders of all kinds available-both seasonal and year-round cider. I have to make a stop here anytime I come to Buffalo.“
“I ate here today for the first time in a long time. My thought was I don't understand why we do not eat here more often food was amazing and so was the service. I highly recommend! I am going to say sweet potato fires are my favorite thing on the menu.“
“one of my favorite venues! from rochester here but as someone who goes to tons of shows in buffalo, i always look forward to any show @ mohawk, whether it's a band/artist from the area or a favorite touring act.was back like a week & a half ago (somehow had been a HOT minute since i was last here!) & was stoked to see the place was just as sick as always.awesome place for an intimate vibe - both in being close to the band/artist & in making for a nice communal kinda environment for music scenes in the diy realm.long live mohawk!! :-)“
“We looooved everything about this place, food, drinks, decor....satisfied this foodies tastes. Funny fact, we met the owners neighbor while we were looking for food recommendations, went for dinner then lunch again the next day! So, thank your neighbor who has a daughter that was visiting from out of town ?“
“My brother and I eat here every Saturday. We just love the French dip sandwich. I get the sweet potato fries with it. I eat half while there, and take the rest home for another meal during the week. I've had a few of their other menu options - which are very good... however, Mike and I are addicted to the French Dip (appropriate... French Road, French Pub, French Dip!) He goes there 2 or 3 times during the week all by himself (he's a widower.) He enjoys an alcoholic beverage with his meal. We discovered this place about a year ago - now it is on our regular rotation. The waitresses are always efficient and friendly, the bus boys are even attentive and on the ball. Atmosphere is casual, but clean and welcoming. I can recommend this place without any reservations... ok, bad pun... Try it! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!“
“Their Zuppa Tuscano soup tastes homemade, and amazing!! The soup is served hot, with a very filling consistency of sausage, potatos, spinach, a few other vegetables. It is a hearty soup that is perfect for a cold day(or any day). I also had a 2X Grilled Cheese with Cheddar and Pepperjack cheeses. It was a warm, cheesy mouthful of delight, with each bite. My husband had the French Onion soup, which he entirely enjoyed, coupled with a roast beef on kimmelweck. The horseradish had a good kick to it, according to my husband, and the sandwich was perfect.“
“My boyfriend and I can go to any restaurant when I come up to visit him, and it’s always me asking to come back here. I have never been disappointed in the food, service, or wait and have had some incredible dishes here. I will definitely be returning! Special shoutout to the club sandwhich here, the bread is god tier.“
“Bottomless Mimosas ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Black Smoke Bourbon Bar, I had brunch, the menu was simple, the main squeeze of the menu was the Bottomless mimosas option.There are no vegan options, they should have vegan Chorizo.The pay person is 10-20pp if you’re not having cocktails. Parking is available in the lot a couple doors down from the restaurant.Enjoy“
