“The food is amazing!!! I came for my birthday, first time. Everything was freshly prepared and delicious. I’ll definitely be back. Thanks!!“

“Food is great. Fun flavors, & combinations you can make with the protein + veggies + sauces. You get a lot for $11-13 (plus, always, high taxes in New York state). Server is knowledgeable, helpful, & gracious/polite. I really like this place (franchise?); there are a few locations in the WNY area.“

“Culinary Perfection in Buffalo Buffalo is truly privileged to have a dining establishment as exceptional as Lombardo’s. Much like the gridiron perfection we are witnessing from the Buffalo Bills, led by Josh Allen, Lombardo’s delivers a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the realm of fine dining. Everything about this restaurant exudes excellence—from the impeccably crafted dishes to the warm and inviting atmosphere, from the attentive service to the dedication of its ownership. Watching Tom Lombardo and his son Tommy work together this holiday season is a heartwarming sight that reflects the family values and passion behind this establishment. Simply put, Lombardo’s is a place you shouldn’t miss. It’s more than a meal—it’s an experience that defines culinary perfection.“

“Customer service was exceptional! Everything was so good! Finally ticked this place off my restaurant bucket list. Their mini donuts are to die for! 🍩 😋“

“Went for a Sunday brunch and got the Huevos Rancheros and was pleasantly surprised by how good and delicious it was. I also had the Gypsy Juice as my beverage, along with some Pastelitos (beef) shared for the table. Those were just OK to me and I've had better elsewhere. My party and I sat outside for a nice day out on the patio and some people watching, and despite being the only ones out there while we were dining, we still had great service from our server.“

“First time here tonight and OmG was so good. The service was great and amazing food. We will definitely be back next time we are in new York!“

“Last night was our first time visiting the restaurant and it definitely will not be the last! My husband and I had heard about the meatballs on The Food Network and we had to try it as an appetizer. It was fantastic! My eggplant panino was out of this world delicious, absolutely the best I have ever eaten!! Large portions, delicious from start to finish! Definitely recommend!“

“GOOD FOOD GOOD SERVICE AMELIA IS AMAZING BARTENDER SERVER MY FOOD WAS AMAZING“

“First time there. My daughter had the Smokey Eggplant Curry and it was outstanding, I had the Smoked Salmon with Goat Cheese which was incredible. The service is out of this world, and the atmosphere is delightful! If there were ten stars to give, The Lighthouse would surely deserve that.“

“Had the best dinner out in a very long time. Sea Bass special. Not sure I would have ordered it if the dish was written out. Too many things added in that I ultimately didn't know what they were. Not a big pesto fan and the dish came in a bath of creamy green with an odd looking chutney of sorts on top. The green was a fantastic pesto tinged super flavorful sauce and the topping was a grand mix of sweet, savory and nut crunch, a fantastic meal.“

“This place is special. The service is next to none !!outstanding!! The food is extraordinary to say the least!! Period!! The cocktails are unique and their nuances are more than refreshing. Jake Strawser the owner is the real deal and honestly a pleasure to call my friend. There are now two Ian’s that will not disappoint you. Ian the exemplary Chef and Ian the wonderful Barman!!! Make your reservations now. Trust me.“

“The Fastnacht kuekle are world class.“

“Chef’s is a true Buffalo gem for authentic Italian comfort food. From the moment we walked in, it felt like stepping back in time—in the best way. The atmosphere is rich with history, and the food absolutely delivers.

We started with the stuffed peppers, which were spicy, flavorful, and the perfect way to kick things off. For our mains, we had both the chicken parm and the eggplant parm—each one was generously portioned and packed with flavor. I tried the “double parm” with both chicken and spaghetti smothered in sauce and cheese. It was delicious, though next time I’d skip the parm on the pasta just for easier eating. Still, no complaints!

The house red wine was smooth and paired beautifully with the meal. And dessert? The cannoli was spot-on—crispy shell, creamy filling, just sweet enough.

Jayme, our server, was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and even packed up our leftovers with care. Portions are hearty, so next time we’ll likely split a dinner if we’re ordering apps again.

If you’re looking for a place that serves up generous portions of classic Italian fare with a side of Buffalo nostalgia, Chef’s is it. We’ll definitely be back!.“

“It was all smiles when my husband and I walked in, and we were sat immediately! We ordered samosas, mushroom soup, garlic & potato naan, and the Tandoori mixed meat entree and all of it was AMAZING. Food was fresh and flavorful and our server was very attentive. Thank you to the whole staff, you were all very kind!“

“Service was excellent (thank you David) Food and excellent, the bartenders were excellent. 10 out of 10“

“Popped in for their one year anniversary where they were offering up dollar slices and I got the New York style and it was solid. Definitely looking forward to visiting again to check out some of their cocktails. I really like their business model and that they are a tip-less establishment because of their practices in paying their employees which is cool.“

“Okay, my fiancé and I go a lot to the hamburg location never ever have a issue… unfortunately today on a Monday night we both got caught up in work late in the night so we went to the location downtown to grab food togo. When arriving home (a 25 minute drive) and opened bag there was No sauce and 6 sides of pickles that wasn’t asked for instead…. Called back right away and asked for a manger (emily), Emily was not only upset and frustrated with us because we are HUGE sauce people but also wanting to fix the issue right away.. we paid cash and opted for a e-gift card, Emily Right away emailed us $50 for our next visit. My fiancé and I had really hard day today and she made a bad day turn to a good ending,“

“10 out of 10!
Falafel House is truly a gem. The crispy chicken shawarma was superb—perfectly crispy, incredibly juicy, and bursting with flavor. It honestly felt like eating in the Middle East; the food is that authentic. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered two—one for me and one for my son.

The staff were warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and their restaurant. The place itself is spotless and beautifully decorated, which makes the whole experience even better.

Falafel House is an easy 10/10 in every way. Highly recommended!“

“Great food, bartenders were awesome. The beers were fresh and there were plenty to choose from. One thing it does need is another TV at the other side of the bar. This would help when there are any home games on, you can watch it from either side of the bar.“

“The food was The bomb, the drinks was the bomb, the waitress was the bomb !!“

“I would love to give a very positive review but as of right now I cannot every time I go to the hertel location there always out of milk . the regular ice cream is great but I only do milkshakes cause I drive alot please fix y'all's problem of running out of milk.“

“Fantastic lunch. What a nice surprise. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Hands down one of the best meals and experiences we've ever had! Our server Joe was phenomenal, manger Mike gave us one of the best anniversary dinners ever! From beginning to end we loved every moment! Thank you for giving us our new favorite date night spot, we can't wait to come back!!!!“

“Loved the food! I tried the Rogan Josh Chicken recommended by the waiter, and it was fantastic. I didn’t really enjoy the roti-it was a bit hard-but overall, the food was great. The place was clean, had a nice ambience, and the staff were friendly. The pistachio kulfi was delicious too!“

“Osteria 166!! Absolutely the best food in Buffalo and our favorite hands down Italian restaurant with the best meatballs I ever had besides my grandma's, that I haven't had since she passed, so these are now the best I can get. The menu is great with something for everyone and whatever you're in the mood for from flatbread pizza to homemade pasta with the most amazing sauces, delicious salads, fantastic steak and the freshest Italian desserts. if you can save room. We have to get them to go home. It's so hard to decide that we get several things and go family style sharing and going around the menu. bravo Nani in the meatballs! they are a must! great friendly service and beautiful atmosphere. sometimes the acoustic music in the bar. what a gem we love walking distance to the theater district, we try to go before shows and park and enjoy the evening starting with the best meal and drinks before a show downtown. Don't think twice about trying this place! make reservations.“

“delish food, friendly service and will definitely be back again! check them out..you'll be glad u did!“

“Always the most amazing and fresh coffee around. The breakfast options are to die for.“

“What a great atmosphere! The food & drinks were absolutely amazing 🤩 Thank you!“

“Best location! Top brunch place ever!“

“Great spot with a great selection! Luv the breakfast options and the coffee too!“

“Okay folks, as a Buffalo transplant (NJ at heart) let me tell you that it has taken almost 15 years to find a local deli that does subs “right”. I have a very short list of Jersey approved spots in and around the city and Zios crushes every single one of them. It’s been a long time since I’ve had access to anything like my Mimi used to make. There is absolutely no way you can beat the value you're getting out of this spot! I triple Diggs dare you to even try to tell me the next closest restaurant around the village or dt that comes close. P.S. for the next curious cat browsing for lunch around here- please disregard the gentleman who left a review stating he still thinks he can get better subs at wegmans. That guy most definitely eats his wings with ranch…and utensils.“

“Wow! What a treat! We are from Kansas and it's great be greeted with kindness! My daughter got a little confused, but the employee inside walked her through what was good.
Combined with the nice cool weather, great CUSTOMER SERVICE and DELICIOUS Waffle bowls, we definitely recommend 2 Scoops!
Dessert was so good, forgot to take photos.
1. Mint Chocolate Chip waffle bowl.
2. Bittersweet Symphony, Cookies and Cream and Brownie Batter Waffle Bowl.
3. Bittersweet Symphony
Very affordable and relaxed at the picnic tables by the roadside!“

“Excellent food, excellent service, extremely clean and just a bright. The Beef on Weck was so tender.“

“Visiting from Orlando and glad I came across this place. The turkey and rest of the ingredients that made up my sandwich all tasted so fresh. Get there early to have more options as far as bagels and types of bread because they do sell out. Will def be back if I return to buffalo.“

“Bacchus…THANK YOU for a wonderful meal with great service. We thoroughly enjoyed our entrees of Lobster tortellini, shrimp puttanesca and pork chop. The octopus app was delicious too. Service was outstanding and the valet driver even remembered our car! Impressive! We’ve dined here many times and will continue to do so!“

“I was here alone (had planned to bring friends but it fell through) and sat at the bar where I got two awesome, creative cocktails! Dinner was the musakhan chicken pasties (they are a size somewhere between a pierogi and an empanada) and dessert was the sticky toffee pudding. Everything was excellent and clearly prepared with much care and skill.

Lots of interesting menu items and a lively modern bar vibe. Highly recommend for a night out with friends in Buffalo.“

“Wednesday is 1/2 off Vegetarian Pho!!! SOOO YUMMM!!! 😋🍜🙌🏼“

“Food and portion size were excellent with friendly service and cozy atmosphere ! Definitely a must try!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — A Hidden Gem in Buffalo!
We had an amazing experience at Downtown Bazaar trying the Thai food stall—absolutely delicious! Every dish was bursting with authentic flavors and perfectly balanced spices. The Pad Thai was one of the best I’ve ever had—fresh, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The green curry was rich, aromatic, and comforting, with tender chicken and just the right amount of heat.

The service was warm and friendly, and the food was served quickly and piping hot. You can tell they care about quality and authenticity. The portions were generous, and prices very reasonable for downtown.

If you're in Buffalo and craving Thai, this spot inside Downtown Bazaar is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes!“

“I’ve lived down the street for a couple years and was pleasantly surprised to have such a great bar nearby. The food is excellent and when I don’t want to eat one of their delicious burgers or the Yard Bird (so yum!), they have very tasty vegetarian options. The Vegan club is so so yummy. The owner is awesome. The staff is awesome. Seafood Dan and his karaoke DJ skills are awesome. The regulars are chill and great conversationalists. There is regularly a game of cribbage happening. The interior is aesthetically pleasing with fun stuff to look at. What can I say? I love this place.“

“Very glad my husband brought me and the kids here instead of watching the Bills last sunday, though the service might be slow, it's well worth it for the time spent together and for the souvlaki breakfast special. It's valuable time spent with the kids now that my husband Tom is spending more time working keeping his new auto-parts business afloat.“

“Absolutely amazing Japanese restaurant! The sushi is super fresh, especially the misushiro (miso soup) — full of flavor and perfectly balanced. The shrimp dishes are also outstanding — juicy, perfectly cooked, and seasoned just right. The staff is friendly, the place is cozy, and everything comes out beautifully presented. Definitely one of the best Japanese spots around! Highly recommend! 🍣🍤“

“If you're craving a delicious burger and crispy wings, BurgerIM is the place to be! Their burgers are incredibly flavorful, with a variety of options to suit every taste—from juicy classic beef patties to unique specialty options. The buns are always soft, and the toppings are fresh and perfectly complement each burger.

Whether you like them spicy, sweet, or somewhere in between, BurgerIM has something for every wing lover. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick, so you won’t be waiting long for your tasty food.
