“I am a professional graphic designer, I worked for his restaurant for about 6 to 8 months but he did not pay me any salary on various pretexts, he cheated me. If any Bangladeshi brother helps me or brings such a person to justice, it will be very beneficial for me because I am in Bangladesh and I do not know anyone in America for whom I cannot do anything. I have enough evidence, if someone helps then it will be very beneficial and it is better to bring such people to justice so that no one can cheat like this again.

“Went for a chocolate factory tour and the owner was absolutely amazing! The history is incredible and the chocolate is outstanding. They not only have an awesome store,they ship anywhere and they also offer ice cream, specialty coffee and hot chocolate. You can also order a icecream cake or icecream pie. Great business with a great selection and atmosphere. I definitely recommend this incredible business.“

“Big menu great service big sizes cheap“

“We went here for the first time today from Brantford Ontario. Everyone was so nice and the selections are amazing!!! You can pretty much get anything with ice cream you are craving. Anytime we come to Buffalo now in the season, we are going!“

“Sweet Jenny’s is a staple for our family. We never have a holiday table without chocolate from here. Teacher gifts are a must. Summer ice cream trips making memories! Everything here is amazing, including the owners. If your visiting the Buffalo area this place is a must see, we always bring out of towners here! Thanks for being such an awesome part of our community!“

“Had Dinner and ice cream here with my daughter and everything was amazing! Highly recommend this location for dining and ice cream.“

“I have come to Green Acres a few times this summer and they never disappoint! We stopped by to try some items on their fall menu. I tried the pumpkin pie fudge sundae. It was incredible! Delicious ice cream, lots of choices, and fast service. I’ll be back 🥰“

“I go to Anderson’s on Sheridan almost every Monday or Wednesday for lunch. I’m a creature of habit and always get the same thing. Beef on weck, hot sauce on the side, large fry. As soon as I walk up to the register, the super friendly staff already knows my order and name! They’ve even carried my food out to my table for me on a slower day for them! I’ve never had a bad experience. The staff is friendly, food is great, service is quick, even when they are understaffed- nobody is ever just standing around. I’d recommend going to the Sheridan Drive Anderson’s to anyone! And order whatever you want! You can’t go wrong!“

“Best ice cream in Buffalo“

“Good portion sizes and very reasonably priced. Lots of flavor options. The best ‘pup cups’ too!“

“This is my new favorite ice cream place! They have so many Perry's flavors. I was so happy to find that they had the Queen of Hearts flavor that I've been craving for the past 11 years! Service was quick and friendly.The location is perfect with good parking and located right across the street from Riverside Park. Looking forward to trying different flavors and walking through the park this summer!“

“We love Anderson’s ice cream! It’s always a fan favorite and we’re devoted customers. I will say I don’t love the changes to the food menu though. Bring back the old fries and the Asiago chicken caesar wrap! There are only a few healthier options left on the menu and they’re honestly very mid. A little disappointing.“

“great food great place and service“

“This is the go to ice cream place! Easy access right off transit lots of parking, even comes with its own little park paired with picnic tables. Feels like a little slice of country sandwiched between the other businesses. Ice cream is always good, and for a decent price too.“

“Very Cute Local Neighborhood Ice Cream Shop with very reasonable prices and nice sitting area to enjoy“

“Service was fast and accurate for time of year. (Service tends to be understandably slower during prime season due to overwhelming amount visiting patrons) Staff was friendly and respectful as always. This establishment is my go to place as it is closer to my home compared to the other Andersons. Highly recommend.“

“I visited King Condrells the first time several weeks ago.the Twixplosion sundae was delicious. the staff and owners were so friendly and full of joy and smiles. While there, I also bought a box of their original melt away fudge and a HERD of chocolate buffaloes. The chocolate was so delicate and creamy. Highly recommended giving King Condrells a try.“

“No I don’t recommend French Road Dairy Queen. The workers are rude. Online says they’re open until 10 so my kids and I ride our bikes a couple miles to French road Dairy Queen looking for a tasty treat. On arrival the inside area is already closed at 9:45. Drive thru is open since they don’t have a walk up window like every other ice cream shop I figured I could get served at the drive thru window. NOPE. No ice cream for you they say like I’m in the Sienfeld episode The soup Nazi only it’s ice cream. My kids and I were so disappointed. The ride home was treacherous with no calories in our systems. We barely made it home Sincerely Disappointed customer“

“Best spot for ice cream !!“

“This Dairy Queen is amazing! It’s right near me so it’s an easy walk, and usually the lines aren’t crowded and the staff are really nice! The atmosphere is nice and the food is great just a bit melty but you can grab a few napkins then you are fine.“

“Best ice cream I’ve ever had!“

“Great service and ice cream!“

“I love their Dilly bars and Buster bars!!♥️♥️♥️🤍🤍💙💙🎉🎊🎉🎊“

“This location is known for serving a variety of treats such as ice creams, Blizzards, sundaes, and fast food items. It's a part of the Dairy Queen Grill & Chill system, which has a reputation for its combination of hardworking people and great-tasting food and treats. The store offers amenities like credit card acceptance, mobile ordering, delivery, gift cards, and outdoor seating.Dairy Queen, one of the largest fast-food chains specializing in ice cream and frozen treats, has a rich history that dates back to 1940. The first Dairy Queen store was opened in Joliet, Illinois, by entrepreneur John Freemont "J.F." McCullough, his son Alex, and their friend Sherb Noble. They developed a unique soft-serve recipe two years earlier and decided to open Dairy Queen following its successful trial at Sherb's ice cream shop.The initial store in Joliet was primarily a place to buy ice cream and refreshments, with no seating for customers. Instead, people were encouraged to take their treats home or eat them on the go. This concept of a quick-service ice cream establishment was new and rapidly gained popularity.Dairy Queen began expanding through a franchise system just a year after its inception. By 1947, the number of stores grew to 100, and by 1953, Dairy Queen had crossed the borders into Canada with a franchise in Melville, Saskatchewan. In the 1950s and 1960s, Dairy Queen became a staple of social life in small Midwestern and Southern towns in the United States, often featuring in stories and memoirs about small-town America.A significant milestone in their menu development was the introduction of the Blizzard in 1985. This new product, combining soft-serve ice cream with candy mix-ins, was an instant success and became a hallmark of the Dairy Queen brand.Over the years, Dairy Queen has continued to grow and evolve. As of the mid-2010s, there were more than 6,400 Dairy Queen stores in over 25 countries, with the majority in the United States. The company became International Dairy Queen, Inc. (IDQ) in 1962 and was later acquired by Berkshire Hathaway in 1998.Dairy Queen's menu has also evolved over the years, from the introduction of malts and shakes in 1949, banana splits in 1951, to the Dilly® Bar in 1955. The Brazier® concept, which introduced an expanded fast-food menu, was launched in 1957. Today, Dairy Queen's offerings include a wide range of frozen treats, fast food items, and specialty items like the Blizzard and GrillBurgers.“

“So many choices and everything is delicious!“

“Very good food. Lots to choose from and the frozen custard is so yummy!“

“Usually really good, our order is always right, but sometimes it’s a group of young kids working that don’t really seem to care about whether you get your food/ice cream at a decent time or not. They tend to care more about being on their phones and listening to music/joking with each other than customer service but that seems to be pretty typical these days. Otherwise it’s been good“

“We really like this particular location. It's always clean, the staff are friendly and helpful. We see a few of the same younger (college age?) gentlemen there when we stop in after the kids ortho & dentist appointments every month and they are always very kind and patient with the kids.“

“The best gelato 🍨 I’ve had in the niagara region, I love this place it’s so good and so worth it!“

“was great ice cream and great service and great company!!“

“Helpful staff, outdoor & indoor safe seating, lots of food & ice cream choices.“

“A great variety of shakes, ice creams ?etc.Great to visit on a very hot summer evening.Ice cream is very tasty.Totally family oriented, you can get your ice cream and sit around and eat, enjoy some fun time talking with family & friends.“

“Went with a friend and ordered two scoops of a Perry's (less than $5) and it was the perfect cool down treat! The service was prompt and the staff professional. They also have an large food menu, but that will have to be for another visit/review. The parking lot can feel a little cramped, but it's a nice spot with outdoor seating.“

“Yeah, I really like this place! The prices are definitely reasonable, which is a huge plus. Plus, they never skimp on the toppings; you always get a good amount. The staff is also super friendly and always makes you feel welcome. Honestly, it's a great spot for a quick and tasty meal.“

“Friendly staff!
We usually get the vegan ice cream we have for sometime recently just went and had it noticed it was not the same it tasted different leaving a weird aftertaste. The staff were polite about it and apologized hopefully it goes back to how it use to be.“

“Crumbl Cookies is definitely one of those places that lives up to the hype—at least when it comes to creativity and presentation. The cookies are huge, soft, and packed with flavor, and the rotating weekly menu keeps things interesting so you’re never getting bored of the same options.

Some standout flavors are usually the chilled cookies and anything with frosting—they’re rich, sweet, and honestly feel more like a dessert than just a cookie. The packaging is also super aesthetic, which makes it fun for sharing or posting.

That said, the cookies can be very sweet—sometimes almost too much—and a bit pricey for what you get. Not every flavor is a hit either; some can feel a little over-the-top or underwhelming depending on the week.

Overall, Crumbl is a fun treat spot if you’re looking to try something different or indulge once in a while. It’s not an everyday thing, but it’s definitely worth checking out for the experience.“

“I had an excellent experience at the Crumbl Cookies location in Williamsville! From the moment I walked in, everything was clean, organized, and welcoming. The cookies were fresh, warm, and absolutely delicious- definitely lived up to the hype.

A special shoutout to Josh, who was especially helpful and went above and beyond to make sure my order was perfect. Great customer service like that really makes a difference.

Highly recommend this location if you’re looking for amazing cookies and friendly service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“yummy ice cream! let's you try before you buy so you know you will like it.“

“My sister and I were traveling for my birthday to Niagara Falls, Canada from Ohio. A friend of mine, who grew up in Buffalo suggested if we had time to stop by and try the best sponge candy, so we DID! We also tried other delicious chocolates and AHmazing baklava. It did not disappoint!“

“It was nice good portions for $2.50 I had a great Sundae that normally cost $8.00 to 9.50 the only thing that takes away from them is they need better quality Hamburger's, I love their Hotdogs but need good quality Chili ? then you'll get 5 stars .“

“Delectable chocolates! I especially love the Turtles, sponge candy and the chocolate coconut patties.“

“We had the gelato cart come to our wedding! It was such a fun treat. Our guests absolutely loved it! The gelato is absolutely delicious and perfect for cooling off from our dance floor! Frankie is such a great human, and we were so happy to have him there!“

“Watson's has become a go-to part of my weekly self-care routine. Cashier James is the picture of customer service, warmth, and generosity. Large ice cream portions, delicious chocolates (available by the piece or pound), great hours, and affordable pre-Elmwood-surge pricing. I couldn't recommend Watsons more!“

“Have stopped in and buying different treats here for years and still get plenty of new, sweet, surprises all the time. Everyone in the family love to come and pick their own sweet rewards. Love their milk-chocolate, orange, sponge candy! You can join their rewards system to earn points and get future discounts.“

“Learned about Golden Hour Treats on Grubhub when I typed in ice cream. Oh boy! I had a banana split which was the best I've ever had. The boys had the cotton candy ice cream and were very happy. I then went back in 2 days and had the banana pudding. I intended to eat a few bites and save the rest...well that didn't happen! Delicious!! Atmosphere is clean and the staff are nice if a little slow. It's definitely worth a trip.“
