“Charming, perfect place for a cold winter night. The decor is lovely & the food was delicious. Service was excellent.“

“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!“

“Had dinner yesterday. Everything was great! The server Janine was excellent!“

“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!“

“Old Orchard Inn is a bit hard to find even for GPS. Be prepared to not find it on the first try if you have never been here before. The entrance road is hidden, barely paved and rough. Parking is free though. Be prepared to drive slowly when you do enter the driveway. There is a steep upward climb when you walk to the front door. If you are elderly, infirmed or handicapped, a boy with a golf cart will come get you and transport you to and from if you encounter difficulty or simply require mobility assistance. I only know this because I saw it with my own eyes. The wait was a bit long (about 30 minutes). Judy was the waitress; I see reviews with her name from 2012. She must be a lifer. Nothing wrong with that, just an observation. She is in command and can handle any customer no matter what happens. She is a good photographer if you need that service as well. Later she brought more menus and took our orders. Although she is not bashful about giving orders as well. I had the grilled lamb salad. A "hard to get" at most places for sure. It was a grilled half rack of New Zealand lamb. Crisp spring greens, goat cheese, roasted red pepper, red onion and lemon chive dressing. Highly recommend this! The sides are served family style to everyone at your table. We had summer squash and carrots, and herb roasted red potatoes. Judy will not do substitutes! The blood orange creme Brule is splendid for dessert. The restroom was a bit silly. The towel dispenser was hung from the ceiling, also just enough room to turn around in there. So, no need to be concerned about sharing it with anyone, you will have plenty of privacy. There is outdoor seating and a duck pond when the weather is nice. There is also a fireplace if the weather is cool. Certainly, memorable and will never be forgotten. In the event you are looking for something very unique with a flair for charm, the Old Orchard Inn may be just your ticket for elegance, relaxation and fun. Caveat Emptor.“

“Great food and drinks. Friendly staff. Good location. wonderful spot to meet friends!“

“Ordered pancakes only. They weren't on the menu alone without sides but she said they had them. Pancakes were $13.95 with a side so I never expected the pancakes alone would be $12.95. They were good but thought it was kind high with no meat or eggs or anything else. I wouldn't have ordered them if I knew it would be so much for just pancakes. Menu was nice, varried. Service was good .“

“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!“

“If you want to go where everyone knows your name, it’s Kipps and the food is amazing. The service is fantastic, out of this world and you’re pretty much served within five minutes!“

“Charlie The Butcher continues to be the premier Beef on Weck of Western New York! Thank you for all you do for the community as well! Merry Christmas!“

“Best fish fry in West Seneca!“

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

“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. Never had an empty drink glass and our server was on top of everything we needed even before being asked. We'll make this a staple in our favorites spots!“

“My husband was given a gift certificate to Taste so we tried it out for the first time and had been routinely coming since! We love the atmosphere. Rustic building, hip coffee shop vibe. They offer tea and coffee options including seasonal features. Soup and Mac n cheese sides, breakfast, sandwiches, salads, comfort food like pot roast, and desserts displayed so you can make a choice. They have a cooler with drinks like pop, water, juices, and such, and beer selections including NA. We tend to park in the lot behind the building, walk up the stairs through the little pedestrian alley, and enter through the side door. Staff are always pleasant, food has been consistent, and the coffee is delicious. Restroom was clean when I've used it, but the tables have always needed to be wiped down the several times we've visited. There is the expectation guests will clear their trash, but perhaps adding the ability for patrons to wipe their table would be helpful. We wouldn't mind wiping it down before we leave or grabbing something from the station area to clean a dirty table before we sit as compared to not having a place to sit.“

“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!!❤️“

“Nice atmosphere, great food and service!“

“The service was friendly, food was great and the price was affordable. Thr fries here are SO good! Definitely recommend.“

“This place was my favorite restaurant in the 90’s and in 2024, it’s STILL a favorite! You can’t go wrong with any item you order. It’s all delicious!“

“Waited an hour to get our table on a busy Saturday around 5 PM. Hostesses and servers were polite and helpful. Over all food was some of the best we’ve had since moving to the area. Beef on weck was hand carved and portion for the small sandwich was larger than expect for my wife. The table shared medium wings and butter garlic bbq wings along with cheese sticks and chicken fingers and waffle fries. Overall, everything was done just right!“

“Love coming here because its close to where I live. We are regulars here and are always treated nicely. Anytime there is a problem with our food they fix it right away. We always go towards the end of the night so there is never a wait for us.“

“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!“

“Our fish fry was spot on. Perfect light batter and ample plate of fresh cut fries. We couldn't finish it all. Will be back. Kudos to wait and cook staff.“

“This place is a hidden gem! Wife and I ate there today. Probably one of the best prime ribs I’ve had. Service was amazing as well! We will definitely be going back.“

“I just had my dad‘s 90th surprise birthday party at Kodiak Jack’s. Lisa was amazing and made the experience flawless. She was so easy to work with and had everything set up as we had planned. Food was amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone!“

“Had the bang bang burger, awesome is an understatement! Really looking forward to going back & trying the Ruben rolls & a burger.
At first thought menu was a little limited but after my burger, looking forward to trying the others.“

“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.“

“My wife and I go here any chance we get. The atmosphere is comfortable. Either in the warmer months out back or inside when it is snowing looking out. Nicer than home with the ambiance. Food is always great. Drinks are to die for and desserts are sinfully good... A++++“

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

“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!!“

“Stephanie was an amazing server! She was the only person in the restaurant that acknowledged us. She sat us ,made our drinks, Brought us our food as well as 3 or 4 other tables period we watched every other employee stand around a table and talk amongst themselves while she did everything period she definitely deserves a raise!“

“This is a great place right at the crossroads in the village of Orchard Park. Very nice interior lots of rooms with well spaced tables and elegantly done. Food was excellent at a moderate price and I had a dish that I have never had any anywhere before that was just spectacular. Very romantic place as well for those that would like that.“

“Always enjoy. Would definitely recommend…love the real cream served with coffee…!“

“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.“

“Have had several different "Subs of the Month", and loved them all. Haven't tried their fish fry yet, but my son says they are great. Location just around the corner and down Abbott Road a bit. Try them....you'll love them.“
