50 Best American Restaurants near West Falls

“My husband and I went to the Dog Bar last Thursday. The person who returned my call for a reservation gave us a very nice table - I had wanted a quiet table for two. The waitress, Anne (I think I got the name right), was fantastic with a nice personality. She answered any questions about the menu perfectly and her timing with the courses was spot-on. The steaks were cooked as requested. The atmosphere was nice and cozy and there were so many interesting things to read and look at on the walls that if conversation isn't your thing, you could amuse yourself by looking around. All-in-all, we had a really nice time and we both enjoyed our meals. Thank you to the friendly staff and good chefs at the Dog Bar!“

“Oh my gosh, so we went out to dinner this evening after going to the movies. We went to Winfield Pub in South Buffalo. All I can say is WOW. My husband saw that it had a 4.7 star rating and we'd never been there. From start to finish it was a wonderful experience. They have several different beers to offer and even some seasonal ones. Their drink menu is extensive but not daunting and their drinks are super creative. For our starters we got the hop fries with a garlic parmesan aioli which regulars call "crack sauce" I can see why....it's SO good! My husband got the Snout and Stout which is their take on french onion soup but with a pork broth and milk stout added to it with pieces of pork in it. We both tried it and that too was truly delicious it was a great spin on a classic dish. For our entrees my husband got the ribeye and I got the bbq mac and cheese. My husband loved his ribeye it was cooked perfectly and the sides were amazing. My mac and cheese was probably one of the best mac and cheeses I've ever had. They added burnt pork ends and blue cheese to it and it adds such a depth of flavor and richness this comfort food feels so fancy. I enjoyed it thoroughly. For dessert we shared a piece of their Guinness cake. Again, it was rich and delicious the frosting wasn't overly sweet. We brought a little bit of everything home and are looking forward to eating the rest of it tomorrow. Our server was absolutely lovely and so kind and funny. The chef at this restaurant is so creative and thoughtful with every aspect of the experience right down to bringing us the bill in a Christmas Card. This place is 5 stars!“

“Excellent pasta dish and very generous portions!“

“The waitress were attentive. We waited long time for the food, about 35 minutes. I ordered the Chilean sea bass. The macadamia nut was a little burned. The portion was small. The vegetables came with it consisted of inexpensive ingredients: squash and carrots. I didn't like the mashed potato. I only took one bite.“

“Some of the best comfort food!! Amazing place“

“I wish their hours were better and open longer“

“We had our wedding food catered by them and everything was absolutely delicious! All of our guests raved about the flavors which were 100% on point and everythingwas cooked to perfection. Mike and Tracy were great to work with especially on such short notice. I'll definitely be using them in the future and highly recommend them!“

“It's a nice family place to eat. The food and service is good. We went there many years ago and then they closed for a few years. Now they reopened and it's like it never closed. The menu offers a wide variety to please everyone so you won't be disappointed. Enjoy!“

“Have not been to the restaurant side since Anthony took over ownership. It has a completely different vibe! The food may seem like what you have seen on a menu before, but their take on it is absolutely fabulous! I have never had a clam chowder like the one served here. It is amazing! I would return for the clam chowder alone. The sweet potato fries may look typical, but their taste-like nothing I have ever had before. Not sure what their secret seasoning is. The wings rock. We left with doggy bags because we didn’t want to waste any of the delicious food! The chicken piccata, chicken Parmesan- might want to consider sharing! If you have been here before 2023 and been disappointed, you need to revisit! Trust me! And bring even the most finicky of your teens! They will be happy as well!“

“At first I was hesitant because no parking and it’s kinda ran down on the inside.. but when I tell you the flavor of this food and cornbread.. Mac.. potato salad.. green beans.. OH MY GOSHHH .. Nikki’s is something different. Will be back- the flavor in the food speaks for itself!“

“Best fish fry in West Seneca!“

“Delicious food, great service and pleasant atmosphere! Perfection!“

“My good friend and I were in this evening and I am so sad we do not live close enough, because we would DEFINITLEY be regulars!!😭❤️ We ordered the soup for our sides and it was delicious. I ordered the shrimp scampi and the sauce the shrimp was swimming in was DIVINE!!!🤌 Green beans were crisp and tasty, as well as the other items. Casey ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and she was very impressed. I believe our waiter was Kay (I hope I heard her correctly). She was very sweet and wonderful to us. We are traveling to Salem, Massachusetts from western Kentucky and this dinner was a great experiance to kickstart out trip!!❤️“

“Outstanding food, service and atmosphere! The portion sizes are HUGE and absolutely delicious. The French Onion Soup was outstanding, and the Rueben was hands down the best I've ever had.

“I was in Buffalo for a game and made sure I came here twice. The Cajun Honey BBQ wings were haunting... It's hard to put into words just how good they were... it's like meeting that person you feel like you've known all of your life... like scoring a TD or making a game changing tackle in the 4th quarter... it's like getting a hug from your Mammy.“

“I recommend having the Apple Bourbon Burger with salted fries- both were absolutely delicious!! The burger was perfectly cooked, had incredible flavor, served with apple slices, bacon and a savory sauce and then the fries were both crispy and salty. The atmosphere was just as impressive; their Christmas decorations made the whole place feel warm, festive, and inviting. Had an amazing experience and will be back soon!“

“First time in the area for a Bills game- From Toronto, Ontario..was trying to find a place that was open for some food for after the game. Stumbled upon Kettles. We called from the car asking if we could do an order for pick up. They initially said they usually don’t do that on game nights and prefer people to dine-in. We mentioned that we were driving back to Toronto that night- agreed to make the wings and could pick them up in 20minutes.Did not realize they were a cash only and explained that I didn’t know if my bank card would work in their atm being from Canada- the lady that I was dealing with offered that I could venmo her the amount (Canada doesn’t have venmo) ATM worked. Wings were paid for. Service was great. Staff was very friendly. Wings were AMAZING. Will be a for sure stop every time I’m back on American soil.“

“Once again, East Aurora didn’t disappoint! We stopped in at 189 Burger for dinner. Service was outstanding and the food was delicious! The burger was juicy, the chicken was fresh, and those hand cut sweet potato fries were amazing! There were lots of beers available, and their unique mixed drink menu had a good variety. We’ll definitely be back again soon!“

“Always great food. I have been a customer since they opened and have never had a bad meal.“

“My boyfriend & I came here for dinner while on an overnight in East Aurora. Outstanding food and service! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive and even changed the channel for us on the TV closest to us. The Kobe beef burger was phenomenal! Highly recommend. The service was more welcoming than other restaurants we went to in the area.“

“I have to say you should be embarrassed at what you're serving at the fair. It was horrible! I was truly disappointed. We had 4 different menu items and NOT one was enjoyable. Its a shame you price gouged and the quality was beyond poor.“

“Had a great lunch @ Wallenwein’s…they have an extensive menu with lots of great items from which to choose. They were open when a number of other places were closed…a plus! Very reasonably priced, great service and decorated with cool historical memorabilia . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“The burgers are over the top delicious 🤤 will definitely be back!!“
