Restaurants in Tonawanda

“Food is great. Fun flavors, & combinations you can make with the protein + veggies + sauces. You get a lot for $11-13 (plus, always, high taxes in New York state). Server is knowledgeable, helpful, & gracious/polite. I really like this place (franchise?); there are a few locations in the WNY area.”

“Subs are fantastic and the potato salad is amazing great crew too”

“Food was great. Bartender was attentive to service But DO NOT pay with a debit card if you value your money Their credit card system double charges at times holding your money until the false charge falls off. We are still waiting for some of our money to be released due to a second false charge”

“Beautiful atmosphere, hand crafted cocktails, fresh seafood, amazing desserts and attentive servers. What more do you need to know. If you haven’t tried this place yet, what are you waiting for?”

“food is amazing and the staff is so nice!!”

“Just left a glowing 5-star review based on JT's pizza. However, JT's wings and blue-cheese dipping sauce were so good, they compeled their own review. Our first Buffalo-destination in July 2025 was a "bar" known for their creation of Buffalo-wings. When we return in July 2026, JT's will be our first Buffalo-destination for wings. Large fully-cooked chicken wing drumettes and flats. The size required 4-5 adult mouth-fulls to get to the bare-bones. Scrumptious, tender, moist chicken meat inside a crispy outer covering, hand shaken in unique inspired sauces. Perfection defined for Buffalo-wings. JT's is a must for those who appreciate the best Buffalo-wing experience. Try them once, you will not find their equal in Buffalo ( or any other place ). LMAO! The JT's wings experience ruined our desire for wings anywhere else. Just saying, save your Buffalo-wing cravings for a visit to JT's.”

“My family and I went there for a birthday
Celebration.. The food was delicious!!
The butter chicken was the best I've ever had. 👍 The owners were very thoughtful when they found out that we were celebrating a birthday they gave us each rice pudding at the end of our meal.
For four of us to eat with two appetizers the bill was less than $100.

Vegetarian options: Someone in our party had lentils over rice. So good!!”

“My sister ordered a cassata cake, cutout cookies and assorted Italian cookies for my baby shower. There was not 1 piece of cake left, or a single cookie by the end of the event. All of the guests raved at how delicious everything was. The cake and cookies were also so beautiful and classy. Everything was affordable and graciously delivered. This bakery is a true gem and from now on I will never order from anywhere else.”

“first trip and it was good. friendly staff and a lot of choices. A great place to stop for some refreshment right off the bike trail!”

“One of my favorite new spots for sushi and sashimi. Their pad thai is great also.”

“I ordered a meat lovers pizza and taco logs. As I was walking out I dropped the taco logs I walked back in to order more and the guy replaced them free of charge. They have fantastic food and customer”

“Great experience! Flavors are perfect! Definitely recommend!”

“Pasta was overcooked. Sauce was sour. Had to ask for grated cheese twice before we got it. Same with water. The restaurant and bar were very busy but no excuse for the disorganization we experienced. Probably won't go back as Buffalo has many Italian restaurants with better food, atmosphere and prices. We went at the high recommendation of friends and were very disappointed.”

“Delicious subs that are huge! We got the 8 inch Cane Corso, great flavor on the slices of steak, perfect with the crispy lettuce. The chicken finger wrap was good, although we'll get it as a sub next time because the bread was so good. Garlic bread has tomatoes, which I love and not a super strong garlic flavor. Hand cut fries we're on point. The soup was gazpacho and if you like your gazpacho blended, it's worth a try. They sell a board game, which is super random, but the staff explained they created the game. I'm not much into the board games, but he was really knowledgeable about it and I gotta say, I'm considering checking it out. Friendly, delicious great prices. Maybe I'll remember pictures next time.”

“Went there with a group of 11 for my sons birthday. Waitress was excellent and communicative with the whole table, and the staff overall was pleasant and present. Nevermind the fact the food was all excellent! Great variety and quick service. One of my faves in the area.”

“I go at least once a month sometimes twice a month for dinner. But tonight was my worst dinner there ! 8 oz. Sirloin dinner, and half way through my dinner I found an eye lash or black hair in the steak juice on my plate. Couldn’t finish my dinner at all.”

“We tried Lee’s for first time tonight. It’s a small mom & pop Chinese restaurant that I think is fairly new to the area. The food was fresh, tasted great and the service was fast and friendly! Recommended!”

“Acapulco Mexican Restaurant serves authentic Mexican cuisine with rich flavors and generous portions. The atmosphere is casual and family-friendly, making it a great place for gatherings. Popular dishes include tacos, enchiladas, and fajitas, all well-seasoned and fresh. Service is usually prompt and courteous. Overall, a solid choice for tasty Mexican food in a comfortable setting.”

“This is my favorite place to eat in the area. I like the buffet because I want to eat and be on my way without waiting. The food is good and I have no complaint with service. I like shrimp and shellfish and there is a good selection of that as well as several choices for chicken.”

“The Girl Serina was so amazing and helpful after there was a mistake. What a great person. I'd of never of gone there again but she fixed it and so professional.”

“The limited time only menu Shroom n'Swiss Melt is too delicious. We ordered 2 with chicken nuggets, onion wings, french fries and the Oreo milkshake and they tasted great.”

“Don't ever have an issue with this McDonald's except for once i waited in line for an hour last year. Staff is friendly food is prepared as ordered unlike down town.”

“The Fastnacht kuekle are world class.”

“We had an amazing visit today on our way through. The cafe was adorable, the baked goods some of the best we have ever had, the owners were super sweet and our daughter absolutely loved the homemade watermelon lemonade. There were also coloring books and everything was super clean and cozy! 10/10 recommend!”

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

“Everytime I am in the area I make sure I stop. Pizza is always Delicious and amazing. Last time I had a steak n cheese sub delicious of course. ! This is my go to spot !”

“Great food and service definitely will go back . High recommend this little lunch stop”

“Famous for their Buffalo Style pizza; the pizza was oozing with cheese that overflowed on every slice we took from the box. They did not cheap put on the cheese at all when we ordered the classic. This location specifically was a little run-down, and the patio was closed. But the quality and popularity of their pizza makes up for it.”

“Tried the Olympic Restaurant once. Our subsequent visits were explorations of a treasure trove! The Golden desert from the trifol on the table (could not find it on the menu) became our raison d'etre at the Olympic. We will open new explorations when we return next Summer.”

“Pizza is very good, order online and ready for when U schedule a time. Food is hot and fresh.”

“Food was good. Fast. Only complaint was I had my family member pick up the food and they only him to get one blue cheese even though I ordered 2. This isn’t the first time this has happened. The last couple of times they did not even tell him to get the blue cheese that was ordered. There needs to be a better process for the cooler items during pick up. Maybe a sticker on the box telling what to get and how many?”

“The Greek rules. Runs a tight ship. Good food, good prices, fast service. 🍞🍞🍞🍇🍇🍇🍞🍞🍞”

“Stopped in while in town for a football game as we were staying just around the corner. Wings and burger were great as was the service. The music they were playing was not great and probably why they weren't real busy. Might have been a patrons choice but it was downright horrible music and way too loud to carry on a conversation. Definitely not family friendly.”

“I went to raintree yesterday for the first time and I will definitely be back to try the food! I just went for a few drinks with a friend and I have to say the bartender was so friendly and welcoming. We chatted for a bit and had a few laughs. The people that sat next to us ended up being very sociable and had some great conversations. Its nice to know you can walk into a place and be treated like you been a regular. Thank you and I will be back!”

“cod fish beer battered. a step above the pollock every other place calls haddock. cod is a large flaky white fish with tons of omega 3 fatty acids. and they have mixed drinks and beer on tap. hidden gem in the NorthTowns”

“All I can say is I was impressed beyond belief. Go to the website and look at the menu and you will be blown away. The atmosphere is unbelievable. It is literally a sit-down dessert restaurant. You walk in. They ask you if it's for dine-in or takeout and they seat you at a table. They have a full espresso bar and in-house made ice cream, along with waffles, crepes, sundaes, brownies and cake. It's a little more pricey, but the quality makes it absolutely worth it. The atmosphere itself is worth going for. The dessert was utterly delectable, and so was the coffee.”

“We seeked out this Korean joint while traveling in Buffalo for our sons college events.
The food for Buffalo was excellent, from the Jaja men to ttabboki and various rice dishes.
Everything was fantastic for the area and all reasonably priced.
We're from NYC, so certainly we wouldn't say it competes with K Town here in NYC, but it was awesome Korean food for Buffalo.”

“Highly recommend a visit or several to Nicky 2 Scoops, we head over quite frequently for delicious and affordable ice cream treats for the family. We love the atmosphere and that there is a bonus program for frequent flyers like us to earn some cash back towards future purchases. We also recently rented the space for our daughters birthday party, the owners let us customize the space to our liking and offered an affordable party space so the whole extended family could attend comfortably & enjoy the ice cream with us! We will definitely use the space again for future parties 🎉 The owners are super friendly and very accommodating! Love it!”

“The service was especially good today; and they have their hands full due to the Bills game. Our server, Madison, was terrific... as was my Rachel turkey sandwich (Highly recommended).”

“Pizza is one of the best around in this area. I love the sauce they use. Cheesy, saucey & a nice amount of pepperoni. The medium wings were good quality & just the right amount of spice. Creamy blue cheese & they give actual carrot sticks with the celery not those lousy baby carrots. Delivery is prompt & everything is always fresh. Very nice staff as well. Delivery guy was very nice too! We'll be ordering more often! Yum!”

“A family-owned specialty store and bakery with a great selection of teas, nuts, housewares, and other items mostly from Afghanistan. We bought a beautiful handcrafted teapot and immediately went home to eat their freshly baked bread with tea -- delicious! Highly recommend. Shop small, support local.”

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

“You have got to appreciate a restaurant that offers a few things done exceptionally well over countless options that are just okay. Swiston’s has top-tier souvlaki and roast beef sandwiches. Incredible items at incredible prices.”

“These portion sizes absolutely cannot be beat. The price for, not only the quantity but, the quality is top tier and being able to get takeout until midnight?! Unmatched energy. I will always drive the half hour to get take out from here.”

“nice place lots of different burgers & sliders that are delicious and lots of other things on the menu.”

“Love karaoke with KarioJoe”

“I accidentally placed an order for pick-up using the Checkers app. I could not pick it up since my roommate was borrowing my car. I called this location explaining the situation and the employee I spoke with said he would deliver it directly to me since he was about to leave anyway. Love Love Love the excellent customer service!!”

“AMAZING breakfast sandwiches!!”

“My 4 year old and I love your food and service! Thank you for a great lunch. I’ve been coming here for years and it’s always great and always consistent.”

“We stopped in for some pizza and subs after Niagara falls and it was absolutely delicious! It was definitely nice to get away from the falls to get some more reasonable prices! We had excellent service, kids said it was the best cheese pizza ever! We also had the chicken tender sub with blue cheese it was on point! It was easy to see why this place has been around since 1982! Family owned business with multiple locations in the area! We all need to be supporting these local small businesses that our family owned and operated! McKenzie family approved!!!”

“We went in tonight for dinner and all the food we got was amazing! Subs, wings and stuffed banana peppers. The service was also great! Would highly recommend this place!”

“Kimberly you’re the sweetest!
Thanks for the service the order was made to perfection I’m a huge fan of Dave’s hot chicken. Sorry I didn’t take pictures but let me tell you it’s because the chicken came out piping hot and fresh and we devoured it within seconds. So no crumbs left.
Happy to have it so close to highway we can get a quick meal while on our way.
Will definitely be coming back if we are ever in the area again. It was Sunday afternoon the place was jam packed which says how popular it is even though there are other food joints in the area.
Fresh food. Clean. Halal. What more do you want ?
Must visit for all hot chicken fans.”

“Food was great. Seating area needed attention. Tables very messy”

“Our favorite place to eat- kick back and relax. Super friendly staff and our favorite cook- Gene and Danny are on point every time! Have had many things on the menu and everything is fantastic, you won't be disappointed.”

“i got a steak and cheese omelette with hashbrowns and toast, added a little hot sauce to it and it was perfect. such a cute family-friendly atmosphere and great service. if the nice man who served us sees this, my friend paige thinks you’re cute. her instagram is @paige.osche lol. totally recommend!!”

“Everything was decent. Spent $100 on lunch for 4 and just shared a few things. This was my first time at the tonawanda location. I def prefer the one on Sheridan in every way.”

“They have the best wings in Western New York and their pizza is second only to Bocce's. The prices are just an added bonus.”

“We got chicken & broccoli, beef fried rice, white rice, shrimp & pork egg rolls and sugar donuts. Everything was excellent. Staff was kind and accurate with orders. Only waited 15 minutes for all that food. Prices are very fair!”

“This bar was started by my Great Grandfather, his picture may still be hanging in the back. I’ve been there twice in the past decade and was for/after the death of my Grandfather Kenneth Hartel Sr, and Kenneth Hartel Jr his son whom died only months later. I came in and was like a family I’ve never met. They took care of my family and I. I hope to take my daughter up there soon.”

“Just what I wanted.....haven't lost a step in 35+ yrs I've been away! If you're in Tonawanda- you can't leave without eating here or grabbing just a taco or burrito daily! Shout out to John and the staff- great food, great service and the 80s arcade games! Love the nostalgia! Can't wait to get back more often!”

“Great place to catch up with friends or hang out with a handful of Veterans! ?? A smaller hall is available to rent. Events throughout the year, keep me coming back! Definitely Kimmy-Sue Tested and APPROVED ???”

“Quick, friendly service & IMO THE best ice cream around!!”

“Great except they charged $2.50 for a CAN of Pepsi, also only delivery through door dash so that's $$$$. Good food tho 2.50 for a can of Pepsi just made me mad tho.”

“the sushi burrito and the Tea of course 😋”

“Food and staff are amazing! Would order from there again.”

“I go to slick Willie's once a year for the Daytona 500. Good Wings and I swear there's always a young blonde bombshell bartender. So there's that.”
