“You can't go wrong with anything on the menu here, but definitely come in for Tuesday Prime Rib. I recommend getting it prepared Chefs Favorite - delicious! The waitstaff and bartenders are friendly and very attentive. Always a pleasant experience every time I've been to The Mansard and will be back for more.“
“We loved our dinner last night! Casual vibe and amazing food. Our 3 kids ate the entire pepperoni pizza! Beet salad was out of this world, it's really hard to get beets right (looking at you, Neat..) but they absolutely nailed it. We will definitely be back. Edit: forgot to add that the service was also great.“
“This place is special. The service is next to none !!outstanding!! The food is extraordinary to say the least!! Period!! The cocktails are unique and their nuances are more than refreshing. Jake Strawser the owner is the real deal and honestly a pleasure to call my friend. There are now two Ian’s that will not disappoint you. Ian the exemplary Chef and Ian the wonderful Barman!!! Make your reservations now. Trust me.“
“I really enjoyed the food, and the ambiance of the restaurant. You can sit where ever you choose, you can refill your own water, they have an island area with filtered water, & water glasses. So many beverages to choose from. The server was great, he had the biggest smile ever I loved it! So kind! You order your food when you first come in & you pay for it, & the server brings it to your table. The dinner menu changes all the time, I can't wait to come again to have dinner here,“
“Amazing food and great service! The pasta was so delicious that I overate, couldnt wait to get home and make room to eat the rest. ? I even ordered one to go! Impeccable work Jeshua!!! The waitress tonight was very friendly, attentive, and helpful. She was gorgeous too!! ? 10/10Kid-friendliness: Menu option available for kids. My daughter loved it!“
“I alway enjoy whatever cocktail I get from Ballyhoo, and my last visit there was no different. One of the best bars in town in my opinion with very reasonably priced drinks and excellent customer service. Not a very large bar space, but definitely worth checking out. They do serve a limited food menu as well, but I have not tried any yet.“
“Always delicious food! Fresh and well prepared. The restaurant often has a rotating specials menu, recently I had the eclipse sliders with blueberry jalapeño jam and they were delicious. My go to meal here is the Brooklyn bridge turkey burger - can't go wrong! Wait staff is always friendly and while the place can seem small the booths provide privacy and comfort! There is a selection of beer and wine but in the future, cocktails would make a great addition!“
“My husband and I brought our nieces (8, 8, and 12) in at 5:00 on a Saturday, before taking them to Shea’s. The hostess quoted 45-60 minute wait and it ended up only being 15 minutes so we were very grateful. I also love that we were contacted via text when our table was ready so we were able to take the girls back to the car for what we had assumed would be a 45 minute wait.The service was great—Mike was so good to our littles, talking directly to them and being patient, kind, and attentive. Food was great and came out super quickly. Including 2 apps, a beer, and 5 meals we were out for under $130 including a 25% tip. We were blown away with the price, especially given how expensive life has gotten. Happy to share this experience with our friends in real life and on the internet. Thanks, Big Ditch!“
“It was our monthly gathering of the TreeNuts. I ordered the mild chicken fingers and fries. Whooaaa! It was a lot of food. The food was delivered hot, fresh and it was delicious. I took a to go box and a finger for lunch and dinner and it was just as good as the first bite!So glad we chose this cute little bar and grill.The only down side was parking but there is plenty on street parking.I'll definitely be back. Thanks so much for your prompt, friendly serviceParking: Small on lot parking but there is off street parking.“
“This place was crazy fun, the atmosphere was amazing, and the conversations were enthralling. The bartender is a hoot... and a cutie ?, and the people there will have you wheezing.Besides that I gotta give compliments to the chef. I got the Angus burger and let me tell you, you gotta try it. They add something sweet to the burger (I skepticize it to be some sort of jam) but the contrast that it makes.with the savory burger is amazing. Not to mention the Fry's cooked to perfection; exactly what I needed.All around the place was very clean, definitely up to date on everything; and from what I've seen of the kitchen there's not much to worry about. The bathrooms were spiff and span and the mirror was cool.Which brings me to my final point, The layout. I had to say the design of the bar was very classic, you come in and are treated with a bar and a few tables and a booth wall. The kitchen connects behind the bar and out of the bar and a kitchen window. Then a small hallway that leads to both genders bathrooms and some other off limit stuff I presume(Didn't snoop around too much XD). I really like the bar and how the spirits were backlight.To summarize, id give it a 5/5 if you're looking for a good time. Thanks if you actually read all this.(PS, Sam, nice tattoo)Wheelchair accessibility: Street level with a door wide enough, no automatic doors but I'm sure a bartender or a fellow citizen would help.“
“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!“
“Wow. My coworker knew about my love of French onion soup and insisted I make the trek from the north towns to this place. I can say, there wasn’t much reason for our family to travel to East Aurora after one of fav kids museums moved, but now I have a reason to make the haul! We stopped by here after taking our kid’s to a gym in the area and I’m glad we did. I’d say that this might be my favorite French onion soup on the basis of the rich flavors alone. My wife and I went back and forth comparing it to our number one. I felt this is a little less cheesy than my typical favorite (or maybe it was slightly more cooked than I’m used to) but the flavor of the broth and ingredients are the best. We weren’t ready for dinner so we just ordered the soups and got fries for the kids. My daughter was raving about the fries and the service. She kept saying “we have to come back.” I agree!“
“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!“
“My family came in today and had an amazing time. The food, service and atmosphere were phenomenal. Jen was our server, she was kind and our coffee cups were never empty! This was right off the high way so we were able to get some food on the way to see a traveling show of Les Mis. The specials board was amazing! So many options with homemade bread! Happy to find a place so comforting and kind!“
“Food was absolutely amazing. The mashed potatoes are great. The portion size was impressive. Comfortable setting and nice waiter we had. He was very friendly and professional. We went on 3/16/24. First time there and can't wait to go back. I got the pork chop on the bone. It was amazing.“
“Highly recommend this restaurant! Just had the best lamb chops I’ve ever had and an overall a feast of flavors. Definitely an experience I want to come back to. Our server Matt was very attentive and perfect timing. Thank you for such a wonderful time.“
“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 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.“
“Swannie House, located in Buffalo, NY, is one of the city's oldest and most iconic taverns, embodying a rich tapestry of history that intertwines with the development of Buffalo itself. Established in 1886, it has served as a testament to the city's evolving social and economic landscapes, playing host to a myriad of stories from its inception to the present day.Situated at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Ohio Street, Swannie House sits in the shadow of grain elevators and the Buffalo River, placing it at a strategic point in Buffalo's historic First Ward. This neighborhood has long been associated with the city's working-class roots, particularly those working in the shipping, grain, and steel industries that once dominated the area.The tavern's inception dates back to a time when Buffalo was a booming industrial city, benefitting from its position as a critical node in the Great Lakes shipping network. The Swannie House initially served as a haven for laborers, offering refreshment and respite from the demanding physical work associated with the nearby docks and grain elevators.Over the years, Swannie House has maintained its reputation as a gathering place for locals and visitors alike, preserving its traditional ambiance while adapting to the changing dynamics of the neighborhood. Its proximity to the Buffalo River and Lake Erie has made it a favorite spot for those looking to experience the city's waterfront renaissance, which has seen significant investment in public spaces and amenities, revitalizing the area's historic charm and economic vitality.The interior of Swannie House reflects its storied past, adorned with memorabilia and photographs that chronicle the life and times of Buffalo's waterfront and its workers. The menu, too, pays homage to the city's heritage, featuring classic Buffalo fare alongside a selection of local beers, making it a culinary landmark in its own right.Swannie House's enduring appeal lies not just in its longevity but in its ability to embody the spirit of Buffalo. It stands as a living museum, a place where stories of the past are preserved and shared, contributing to the city's identity and sense of community. Its resilience and adaptability mirror those of Buffalo itself, making Swannie House a beloved landmark that continues to attract generations of patrons, drawn by its history, character, and the warmth of its welcome.While specific details and events can enrich the history of Swannie House, the essence of its story is a testament to the enduring bond between a city and one of its most cherished institutions.“
“Went on a Tuesday before they started their open mic. They have new vegan food here and HOLY. Buffalo is severely lacking in the vegan/vegetarian food realm and this was perfect. I got a 'chicken' and waffles and it was incredible. They also had curry onion rings, which I've never seen before (not pictured) and were also bangin'.“
“My wife and I will stop here before we go to Flying Bison. The bartender is always super friendly and attentive. The food is always good here too. Prices are easy on the wallet too we always have a couple of beers and dinner for about 40bucks. Can’t beat this place! Chicken wings, burgers and fish fry’s are all awesome!!!“
“This is a great reason to support local businesses. Pizza is very good and priced right, $5-8 less than the other guys. And it's a solid pie. Wings are another strong point: great sauces, cooked perfectly and a good size.Service is as warm and inviting as it gets, one person nicer than the next. Love taking the kids on the weekends because it's not going to cost you an arm and a leg. This is what a neighborhood local should be.“
