“We tried this spot for the first time, and it was delicious. The food was so fresh! The crab cakes are definitely a must try along with the stuffed peppers! ? they both were dishes that were unique and had their own kick to it. The grilled fish tacos were also a healthy, tasty option as well. Edit: My only recommendation is to go when the chefs are present and serving, if you are going for their food.“

“Management is great (I wish I could remember his name but he completely changed my view of the location after my initial visits). The best Chuck’s for providing all deals with great service. Unlike other Chuck’s, the salsa and sour cream is complimentary if you need more.Unfortunately I don’t enjoy here for viewing my hockey games as the bar staff is very snobby and uninterested in you if not a regular it feels.“

“Fun place with super nice staff and a great selection of brews! You "rent" a card per person with your credit card on entry. Grab a fresh glass and select and pour your own brew choice - whether an ounce or a full glass. A selection of wines and hard ciders were also available. Atmosphere is very casual and there is a lot of outdoor seating available in better weather. Food was good - pub style choices.Kid-friendliness: Not a place for kids, although I'm sure they are welcome...“

“I usually don’t write reviews however this place deserves a 10 star review. The food is Instagram worthy and delicious. I will probably dream about how good the food was and this restaurant will officially be my weekly go to place. Great vibes, great food, great staff! I highly recommend stopping by!“

“The steak special was a grade 9 wagyu steak which is comparable to A5 Japanese wagyu and it definitely lived up to its name. It was very delicious insanely tender melt In your mouth steak with mushrooms and truffles grated on top. The waiter knew an enormous amount of information about the food on the menu and was able to answer all questions we had. I personally recommend you come here and let the chef work his magic it was an amazing meal. I will definitely be coming back here again.“

“Let's face it. You don't go to Sportsmen's Tavern for the food -- it's all about the music! This is an outstanding music venue which continues to spread through the community. But you may be surprised to learn the food is very good! I'm not sure if the kitchen is always open but be sure to order food when at Sportsmen's for the full experience.“

“We did a call ahead take out order for 9 people for lunch at the office. They were very efficient with taking the order and it was ready within 45 minutes. I believe I spoke with Thomas at pick up and he was super sweet and offered to help me carry the order out. I personally ordered the candied garlic burger and the flavors were incredible! No complaints from anyone regarding any of their orders!“
“By far one of the coolest bars in Buffalo! I've been wanting to stop by for awhile and was thrilled to finally be in the area and have some free time. I was pleased to find a tiny gothic literary themed spot with amazing and interesting drinks. You might have to be patient when ordering or getting a seat but it's well worth the it. This spot is decorated to the nines with Halloween-ish, gothic, spooky stuff and it's fun to check it all out. We tried the tepache which was alcohol made from a fermented pineapple and the watchdog cocktail. The tepache was super interesting and new to us. Was very sweet and pineapple-y. The watchdog was perfect for a cold dark night. It warmed me up and had hints of orange. Lots of neat and different kinds of drinks here and some bar snacks as well if you are hungry. Bartender was friendly and helpful with menu questions. They also serve absinthe and it's fun to watch them put it together. I also learned that this place serves as a community library. There are books all over and you are welcome to take or borrow some to read. They also make it clear they are LGBTQ+ friendly so all are welcome to come and enjoy.“

“My friend and I went there for drinks for the first time last night. We searched Googles for new cocktail bars in the area, and this place popped up. It was a great time. The cocktails were very well crafted. We didn't get food. The atmosphere was fun. A mix of the younger generation and older consumers were there. We had fun and also met up with a few other friends. Would highly recommend.“

“If you're looking for a warm and casual place to grab a fantastic brew, be sure to check out Magic Bear. Whether it's your first time or hundredth time visiting, you'll feel right at home. The owner, Craig, is knowledgable and one of the kindest shop owners you'll meet. If you're a beer nerd, Craig and his staff will never fail to give you a recommendation that matches or expands your palate. If you're not, they'll be just as sure to find something that you like. Definitely check this place out!“
“The band was great, but so was the venue! Different levels for viewing the stage and dancing, the eye-catching collection of album covers, and the open garage door that allowed ventilation and also a little outside smoke for anyone nostalgic for the smell of the bars we used to sneak into. Such a great space!“

“Some of the nicest people in the industry at this place. Never had a bad meal, although did have something that was too spicy for me. Every person working there is exceptional, especially the owner and family. The atmosphere is creative, and they have live music some nights. The drinks are fun and inventive too, and there's Sunday brunch to boot!!! Solid choice.“

“I’ve been here for a night out with friends. It was a great vibe, outstanding service, and great prices. I recently had the wings as I’ve been told they are great. I would say they are some of the best in the city. I ordered them medium extra crispy. Even with it being takeout the wings kept their integrity and tasted great! Plus they have homemade bleu cheese“

“I have been to this restaurant twice and I really enjoyed my experience both times . First of all the menu is outstanding and reasonably priced . That is not counting the specials - new specials are posted on their Facebook page every day ! This past visit my aunt and I ordered two entrees - the chicken inferno (stuffed banana pepper, sweet chili sauce ) and crab stuffed haddock . Entrees come with fresh bread and a side salad. I was able to upgrade to a loaded baked potato for $3 (worth it ) . Food was as delicious as they appear in pictures I posted. Plenty for leftovers . Server was kind and accommodating . Dare I say Rust Belt is one of the best restaurants in the south towns ! Try it for yourself and see if you agree ....“

“The place has lots of cool Buffalo sports memorabilia. Lots of pic and jerseys lining the walls. Our server was so friendly and sweet. We split a few things since it was out 1st time here. Everything was served piping hot. The pickle chips were crispy and crunchy, with a nice dipping sauce, a little spicy but all tasty. The fries were cooked the way fries should be. Crispy outside, mashed potato like inside. The gravy served on the side was not very good. It was clumpy and not very tasty. The pulled pork(recommended by our fabulous server) was delicious, but I bit into a bone that damn near knocked my crown off. The server was very apologetic, and they even removed the sandwich from the check. (kind gesture that not a lot of places would do) The roast beef was good, but it was a bit overcooked for my taste. We really liked the atmosphere and the service, so we'll definitely return. You can't be perfect every day.“

“Full of Buffalo memorabilia, this was a wonderful experience! With a friendly greeting at the door we were seated and enjoyed perusing the menu with many yummy choices. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed the beef on weck- piles of juicy and tender beef with a perfectly salted roll. Of course, with horseradish! My husband enjoyed the fish fry. This is a great neighborhood place to be frequented again and again!“
“Updated 7/2/2023 We have been back several times over the years and it just keeps getting better! We were in last night and had some incredible food. The wine was amazing as always. If you haven't been and you are looking for noteworthy wine and delicious food this is the place to go. Can't wait to go back!!What a great find! Can't wait to go back, this will be our new spot. We had a couple of glasses of wine that was recommended by the bartender Pete - He was spot on! The wine selection was simple but high quality, something for everyone. Nice beer selection for the non wine drinker. The atmosphere of the venue was cozy and welcoming. The outdoor area was not open due to the cold but that looked cute as well. We will definitely be back and can't wait for the warm weather to sit on the patio.“
“Truly a special place. Unlike any other bar. Bartender was friendly and chatted us up. Open mic night was fun and it’s clearly an institution-full of regulars and the fact that we didn’t feel unwelcome was nice. Worth a visit just to check out what decades of people adding art and memorabilia on the walls can create.“

“Had an amazing dinner here on Friday night! I wish I remembered to take a pic, but when I was presented my fish fry I began to dig in immediately! Three people got the beer battered fish fry while I got the Cajun which is grilled. My fish looked so great that everyone at the table had a bite of mine! It was served with slaw and choice of a 2nd side so I got the baked potato after dinner the table split a giant piece of banana pudding cake! Unbelievably huge and delicious! Always happy when I come here and I look forward to coming back. They offer fish fry's on Wednesday as well as Friday, so if you have an early craving for a fish fry... just stop in.“

“The exact embodiment of an Irish Pub you'd imagine if someone asked you to think of the ideal Irish pub, except without the stereotype redhead with green eyes at the door. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Food was decent, drinks served fast, and probably the best spot to take a date on Saint Paddy's (which I failed to do).Edit to add: each time I've been by here, Megan has been hostess/server. She's great! Instantly personable, relatable, a delight.If you can afford to spend a bit, the Banshee is really the best little spot to hang out. The charm of the space, and the staff, makes each visit deeply satisfying.Parking: There are a number of paid parking lots and paid parking garages in the area, but it's smack in the middle of downtown, so expect to pay for your time there. Ride services and cabs are ideal anyway, to prevent bad judgement after a few pints. To be honest, parking right in front of the building on Franklin St is *supposed* to be city street parking with meters, but some ppl have said they park there constantly and never pay anything (at least not in the afternoon/evening). Your call if you want to risk it. You can also pay $30 for the lot next door, if you really need some peace of mind.Wheelchair accessibility: Although the upper floors won't be accessible, the ground floor doors are accessibly wide and swing light on their hinges. The bathrooms can be a little snug to get thru the doors, but there are of course accessible stalls when thru those.“

“Phenomenal! I had heard amazing things about Hutch's for years and finally made it in for a surprise birthday dinner from my friends. Each and every one of us absolutely loved and raved over our meals and drinks. Some of the freshest oysters and a delicious meatball to start our night, with espresso martini's and wine. I had the pork chop special with pear chutney and WOW, the biggest and moist cut of pork I've had with an amazing flavor profile. I had the fruit cookie for dessert and it was absolutely divine. Our server, Amanda, was so friendly and helpful, suggesting apps, working with my friend to find the perfect red wine for her, and even humoring my other friend to pick a meal and surprise her- and she picked well! Good service makes all the difference and we can't say enough about her and the atmosphere here. I have friends who routinely come to Hutch's and all I can say is I've been influenced and hope to return much more frequently! Thanks for an amazing dinner experience to celebrate my 30th!“

“Was my first visit and even though it was for the Easter buffet I have to say the food was AMAZING well seasoned and fresh! They kept the fresh entrees coming and there were a VARIETY of things to choose from and personally I LOVE that because I'm not a breakfast food person! Their serves were sweet and personable. I really enjoyed my visit and I have to try their full menu I can only imagine ?“

“We came for the fish fry. The server was friendly, attentive, and willing to take time to tell us about the history of the place.The fish was cod, not haddock. It was tender and spot on flakey. That itself was a very pleasant change from a lot of other places.We will be back soon.“

“Yesterday my Gigi and I found this place. We were in town for a dance competition at sheas and didn’t know the restaurants around. We started walking and by the grace of god found this amazing place! First of all the atmosphere is amazing. The staff was friendly. Our server (I wish I had gotten her name) was probably the best server I have ever had. then came the food. Oh my god! The ricotta gnocchi is literally bites of heavenly clouds in your mouth. Moral of story probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had (and I’m picky) this place will now be my favorite restaurant. I will happily travel from Fredonia to come here!“

“Went here for dinner on Wednesday night. As soon as I walked in the door, the smell of fish hit my face which wasn’t a good sign. But I was with my mom and I didn’t want to disappoint her, so decided to stick with this place and see how the food was. We got the pork trilogy, which is basically Sunday sauce, the flavor of the meat was good it just needed more salt. We also got the special pizza which was sopresatta, that was very yummy. We got the burrata salad appetizer, which was my mom’s favorite, it was interesting and pretty good. I’ve never had burrata with roasted apples under it, but I would eat it again. We finished with creme brulee because it’s our favorite and it was great. Our server was kind of standoffish. All in all this was a decent experience but it left a little to be desired.“

“The place is great. It is quaint and friendly with a sort of country-club atmosphere. It is usually busy, with either a short wait or none. It's great in the summer because of the nice patio, and great in the winter because it's cozy and they serve warm drinks.“
“I fear leaving this review because I don't want the place ruined I loved it so much. Step back in time without all the pretension to a classic hometown bar. The owner Greg was bartending and filled us in on the history of the place having closed in the 80s until he opened up in the 2000s. There's no having to pretend to be old timey, the vinyl on the bar, the stools, and the walls covered in Utica Club and Schlitz is authentic to the place. We went for the Tom & Jerry's and I have to say they are one of the best in town, unlike a lot of places though they aren't pushing out big batches of the batter so you want to get there early to make sure you don't miss out! They serve them until new years. We weren't there long before the friendly patrons offered to get us a shot, everyone was so inviting and made us feel so welcome. Greg too. We plan to make it a regular stop even outside Tom and Jerry season!“

“I was very surprised to see the ratings for this place! This was honestly the best pollo con crema I have ever had. Sometimes with Mexican restaurants it will just be quest and chicken. But this was so flavorful with a bunch of other stuff added. The drinks were good too, definitely a little pricey. Our server was the best ever! We came on the day of the eclipse, so it was super busy. However, she was the sweetest person, and everyone at the table agreed. Since this place is right on Elmwood, I would totally come back a agin for the pollo con crema alone!“

“Of course we picked a bandits game to visit this restaurant/bar. We were immediately greeted at the door and at that time the place was still not too busy. Tables were nice and clean, and some tunes playing in the place. Ordered a cheese pizza (cause what kid can say no to cheese pizza), bbq wings and some fries. Wings were perfectly cooked, great bbq sauce and the best part is they were nice and crispy. Fries, again good portion and cooked nice and crispy. That pizza though, must be cooked in a magic oven. Perfection. Probably one of the better pizzas I've had in a while. This place is not a well kept secret, so come early if there's an event going on.“
“As a middle-aged dude for whom sleep has replaced sex as the ultimate goal in life, this place has reinvigorated me. Met some friends here for drinks and had a great time. Emily the bartender was on point all night. A brilliant host, her sarcasm and wit were superior to mine, which pissed me off at first but eventually I conceded defeat. Worth every penny. Will definitely be returning as often as I can!Also, they have dart boards!“

“So how would I describe Big Texas? A country music bar, a dive bar, a great place for lunch? I'd say all of the above. I hear they have great live music on weekends. The look of the interior and the locals all hanging out on the front deck both give the dive bar feel. Add to this the great lunch we had, and it's a combination. I had lunch with a few friends. The menu isn't huge. Just enough choices plus daily specials. All sandwiches came with cole slaw and fries, though I didn't see that mentioned on the menu. I ordered the fish and chips. Also at my table was BBQ chicken, corned beef, and the Canadian bacon special. My fish had a crunchy exterior over nice flakey fish. The fries appeared to be fresh cut. I'd have to say the cole slaw was different, in a good way. The cabbage was very thinly shaved with a light dressing and topped with tomato & pepper slices. Overall, the food and service were both good. Also, keep in mind if going there from the US that these are Canadian prices. Very reasonable! Final note. Check the top of the building out front. Might bring back memories for some. Remember King Edward?! :) 2923-92“
