“Saturday 8:45 is the sweet spot!! Walk in and got seated immediately, Mia took our order in less than 3 minutes of is being seated. Food was hot and fresh! The only thing that could've made it better was a Bills player but it's off season...“

“Excellent Cajun wings and good service!!!“

“My husband and I went here for the first time on Saturday and had a lovely time. We had the Irish onion soup, I had zero expectations so when this turned out to be better than French onion I was floored! My husband had corned beef and cabbage which was very good and I had the best Reuben sandwich I have ever had. Now for the waitress she was lovely! A true gem, her positive energy and all around pleasantness made the experience wonderful. Atmosphere was wonderful, we will definitely be going back.“

“My experience at Glen Park Tavern was awesome. The food was delicious and the service was great! Can’t wait to go back! I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Hands down amazing food. we stopped in after a long day of shopping and I am so glad we did. the service was great. the food was honest to God phenomenal. so good that we all shared bites to appreciate how yummy our food was. My dog was accepted at outdoor seating and I was even allowed to take her out in the field for some fetch after we ordered. Don't drive by... STOP in and grab a bite... you won't be disappointed!! Oh and GO BILLS!! ❤️🤍💙 🐃“

“The second we walked in we were greeted with a friendly staff. The food was amazing and the staff was wonderful. Highly recommend.“

“First time would definitely recommend the food was awesome 🤩“

“Went there for st. Patrick’s day. Couldn’t be more pleased. We had a reservation and got seated immediately. Service was fast and friendly and the food was out of this world. I think I’d sell my soul for more sticky toffee pudding. If you want an idea of their service I watched a man straight up slap a glass of beer out of the waitresses hands (he was a hand talker and it was an accident) and into the wall. She was super kind about it and someone (a manger or owner) came over and immediately changed out everything and cleaned everything up while the server got a new beer. Everyone was kind and quick about it and had I not happened to catch it out of the corner of my eye. they were so discrete Idt I would have. As a table we tried the Sheppards fries, the corned beef and cabbage, corned beef sandwich and sticky toffee pudding and all were incredible. Definitely will be back!“

“I love this place. food & service top notch. I wish I got the name of the server we had today... she was amazing. as I took my parents out for lunch today. 1st time for them... we all enjoyed very much thank you!“

“I was here for a cousin’s wedding in Buffalo when we arrive to the tavern, the place was so incredibly busy. I couldn’t even think we would get food me and my family We sat down at a table and we got some service and everything was absolutely phenomenal. when I found out that the girl was making all the food, running it herself and taking the orders herself I was blown away She deserves a great modicum of respect and she deserves to be appreciated today“

“Awesome staff. Great atmosphere“

“Attended the K-pop kids dance party, amazing time, atmosphere was very kid friendly, amazing staff. The kids had a blast! Highly recommend and will be back!“

“Perfect for late night tapas and wine with the girls. Friendly bartenders. Delicious olive oil cake!“

“So delicious!!! We enjoyed every single thing we ordered. Highly recommended!“

“A delightful and might I say NECESSARY vessel for the moodier moods of Buffalo.
When it gets busy the space can easily feel crowded, so I prefer to go during the week when it's quieter- there is a small patio area in the front with a few chairs and tables that's nice to go out to though, especially in warm weather. The only thing I would like to see improved is the menu website, which is difficult to read and not the easiest to navigate on my mobile device.
*** edit: the website is so much better! Thank you!***
Other than that, The Merry Shelley is a great little spot. There's something cathartic about sitting beside the big bay window and sharing absinthe in the moody glow while you watch the snow gently fall for what feels like the thousandth time this winter. Depeche Mode may or may not be playing, and either way that's a good thing.“

“Here was the best spot to me for wings, beer and Monday night football while I was working for my MS, PhD and Post-Doc at UB during 1982 thru 1990. After then, I have moved around the world for different jobs, and never got a chance to be back to visit. Still remember the best service of Joan.“

“It took 1hr to cook wings &salad? Bill was 37$, gave bar dude 50$ ask me if I needed change? 13$ tip wtf“

“Nice tribute to celebrating Jordan and Michael’s life’s 💙💙. Thank you I am Jordan’s cousin . The amazing love and support from the community.“

“Great location to enjoy a few pints and some comfort foods before a Sabres game. Easy walking distance to/from the Metro-line.“

“Food was great! We stopped there since it was a choice between another place that was had a 45-minute wait .We were very well pleased with the service and food.,“

“We recently closed the space for several hours for a private party. Everyone was more than accommodating and all of our guests raved about the food, service and atmosphere!!! We could not have been happier with all of the above!“

“Jason and Julie have created an atmosphere that has become widely accepted by appreciants of fine cocktails everywhere.“

“Don’t miss the Friday night fish fry.“

“Love it here! Great food, friendly staff! Good people who are building a nice, inclusive community“

“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.“

“I’m so glad I stumbled upon Duende during a quick trip to Buffalo. Tucked away in an industrial stretch where you’d never expect to find such a lively bar scene, it turned out to be a real gem. Gabriel, the bartender, was incredibly warm and attentive, and the mix of locals and live musicians gave the place a cozy, lived‑in charm. The food was genuinely good, too. A wonderful surprise all around.“

“Fattey Beer is one of the good ones.

Mike M. and the team know beer, but more importantly, they know people. The selection is strong. The service is steady. The events give the place life.

It has become a reliable spot in the 14217 — a place with good beer, good energy, and a team that makes you feel welcome every time you walk in.

That matters. And Fattey Beer does it well.“

“Great pool, pinball and other amusements for friends & family 👍🏻“

“Amazing food and wonderful service!!!“

“THANK YOU so much for your generous donation to Our Lady of Peace church’s Wines Around the World Event. We greatly appreciate your donation.

“Friendly bartenders and patrons. Lots of tvs to watch sports on. Go Bills!“

“Loved the atmosphere!!! Gabriel was our bartender and took such good care of us!! We will be back for sure!“

“we ordered the wings and FF definitely going back liked everything about the place made me feel like I was back home in South Dakota 😊“

“The food here is tremendous (wings are on par with Bar-Bill and they have a great fish fry), but one word of caution - do not expect to be able to order meat on Friday’s during Lent. Long time regulars are probably well aware of this policy but we were caught a bit off guard. Given that they were absolutely packed with people ordering the fish fry, it makes a lot of sense, just something to be aware of.“
