“This was some of the best food that I've ever had! it was all seasoned to absolute perfection!! This was my 1st time here and I was so very impressed!! I recommend this place 1000 times!!”
“Fried Green Tomatoes, Brisket, Pulled Pork, Potato Salad and Mac & Cheese with some Corn Bread. Food was good but honestly the service was better! I would say the food was mid, mediocre to good. But the service I received was amazing! My waitress was so pleasant and bubbly. She made the experience nice!”
“Easily the best brisket we’ve had in the Buffalo area. Tender and flavorful with just the right amount of fat. Smoked cauliflower and basmati rice had curry flavors, lots of Indian spices and influence which made the whole experience unique. Texas Twinkie was a favorite. I had a tequila drink with guava and vanilla which was delicious, too. Service was fantastic despite how busy they were. Impressive! Good value/portions for the money. Would absolutely return!”
“Always a vibe here !! Brunch is good ! Been a few times our servers are always amazing ! Great margaritas and mimosas !! Went earlier had Olivia as our server and she was very nice and attentive !”
“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.”

“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!”
“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.”

“Met some girlfriends tonight at Neat for dinner and drinks. The hostess was friendly and seated us quickly. We had loganberry Moscow mules that were delicious and started with the Brussel sprouts appetizer! Our server Olivia was very friendly and sweet....attentive and gave good suggestions. Look forward to next time!”
“This place is worth making a point to visit! We will be back! The beers we tried were very good - and they have something that would fit all palates. (Im an IPA girl, and hubby is a lager guy). They also have a full bar and their own specialty drink menu —I described my drink preferences to the bar tender- and he made THE best choice for me. The bartender also had a lot of info regarding the history of the place - you could tell he liked working there. (He’s probably the reason we would return— great service and very friendly). If you haven’t dropped in- you need to put it on your radar to check out.”

“I went to lunch with my 12 and 6 year old boys. Fresh and delicious chips and salsa. I got the lunch portion Chimichanga and the boys got ground beef tacos. Everything was absolutely delicious and very fresh. The guacamole that topped the salad with my meal was excellent (wish I would have ordered a side of guac - next time for sure). My picky boys cleaned their plates and we shared a slice of tres leches after - OMG the best cake I've ever eaten!! Highly recommended.”
“Great first day at Spotted Octopus in Rochester! Loved the beer, food and especially the service. The new systems threw the team a few curveballs, but the staff kept their cool and made customer satisfaction the #1 focus. Opening on parade day proved to be the perfect pressure test and they definitely succeeded.”

“Penne pesto, I added chicken. And Got the extra sauce. Wow it’s delicious ! I will get it again. Thx for this amazing dinner”
“I’ve been to this little gem in the city several times and each time I was extremely pleased with the food and service. I’ve gone with different people as I felt I just had to introduce them to the Blue Cave. Everyone was amazed at the quality of the food! I have also recommended this restaurant to other friends and they have loved it! I am a huge cheese lover and you can just taste the freshness of the cheeses used. The service was efficient and friendly and I was not lacking for a thing. I enjoyed taking in the view of the downtown area while savoring my delicious wine and meal. I was also pleased to meet the chef and his charming wife who seem to work so hard to make this place a unique dining experience. I would without a doubt highly recommend the Blue Cave! I’m looking forward to my next visit!”
“The BEST gluten free pizza ever. Delicious. It just amazed us. Also had the panini and the meatballs and baguette was fabulous. Everything was so fresh. We loved that they had flavored water available too. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. Loved the outdoor seating area. It’s large and comfortable.”

“I had the pleasure of visiting Buckminster’s for the first time, earlier this week. The owner, Molly, and the other person working there (I wish I had asked her name) were both so kind! My cheddar and fig jam panini was delicious, and I loved every minute that I spent with the cats! There were lots of cool cat-related items available for purchase, too! I can’t wait to visit again!!”
“Have the occasion to make our first visit on our 14th wedding anniversary. Our server / bartender Katie was outstanding and the food was completely off the hook! I would totally recommend everything in the menu... How do I know?... Because we ordered everything off the menu it was that good! A great place to visit and great people!”
“Great cocktails and wine selection. Very creative and delicious. Small plates of beef tartare, and shrimp were tasty, with nice portions. Steak pomms frits large plate was delicious. Chocolate budino topped with crushed pistachio and citrus dusting was amazing. Thanks to our son for the gift certificate.”

“one of my favs in downtown buffalo for years. the food is absolute perfection. the staff is top notch. the manager Adam is absolutely amazing and makes us feel like we are always welcome and appreciated. the ambiance of this amazing place along with an unbelievable whiskey selection has made this a once a week or evey other week place for us. honestly i wish i could eat and drink here every day!!!”
“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.”

“We Doordash once a week and although convenient, it is super frustrating that we never receive any condiments that we request. It may seem trivial, but what's the point of a chicken McNugget order with absolutely no sauce? Literally every order that I have placed in the past 2 months has had no condiments. Still order because it's what my 5 year old wants for her treat once a week, but come on McDonald's. Nuggets = sauce”

“After constantly being jealous of the line up at this place I made it back home to buffalo to catch one of my favorite performers ever. Ryan Montbleau in this room felt like home. Super friendly bartenders. A couple small seating areas for those who don't want to stand all night after 40 hours on their feet. Great sound system and from what I've heard they are planning upgrades.”
“The food (especially the Boquerones and the Bahn Mi) were fantastic! Also the staff was so friendly and helpful toward our three liquored up friends. The atmosphere was incredible and I would recommend everyone try this place for a lovely casual dinner or a drunk evening out with friends.”

“This is an amazing little gem hiding on Maple rd. My daughter and I were looking for a place to eat, something different from the everyday chains and decided to try Roma Thai & Burmese Cuisine. The Samosas are a pocket of perfect spice. I had the Roma Ginger-a healthy and perfect blend of vegatables and giner sauce. The service was excellent! We had a great dining experience and will definately be returning.”
“I live in Rochester but ANYtime I go to Buffalo, it's a must to stop in The wings (and all the different sauces) are on point! My favorite sauce is the cajun honey barbecue. I've also had the haddock, shrimp and the salmon cheese steak is to die for!!! Do NOT sleep on this gem. P.S. the cook also caters!!!”
“Visiting Mister Sizzle's with my boys is always a highlight for us; it's our special treat. From the moment we step into this vibrant burger joint on Buffalo's West Side, the atmosphere fills us with anticipation. What truly sets our experiences apart, aside from the inviting vibe and the staff's warm hospitality, are the flavors that await us. Mister Sizzle's is renowned for its diverse burger lineup and signature milkshake cocktails, offering something for everyone, including a delightful vegan option for those seeking alternatives.
However, the star of our visits has always been the milkshakes, particularly the cookies and cream flavor. It's the boys' go-to choice and never fails to impress. The rich, creamy texture combined with the perfect blend of cookies and cream is unmatched; it's the best milkshake we've found in Western New York, hands down.
The news that Mister Sizzle's is expanding to Hamburg, taking over a spot that holds memories of a past burger joint near Spot Coffee, excites us immensely. Their epic burgers are without comparison, and having them closer to home means more joyful outings with my boys. The anticipation for the Hamburg location's opening, where we'll get to enjoy our favorite burgers and milkshakes more frequently, adds a special touch to our future family outings. Mister Sizzle's, with its commitment to the community, environment, and quality, truly stands out not just as a burger place but as a beacon of good times and great food in Buffalo.”
“I love this bakery!! Beautiful grains and delicious baked goods! Intimate atmosphere with delicious coffee drinks. The employees are helpful and keep the establishment very clean. Definitely stop in and grab a crispy cookie or flakey croissant with your morning cup. You won’t be disappointed!”
“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 excellent, I had the Steak, Potatoes AuGraten, the Green Beans! Everything was done to Perfection! Our Server made some excellent suggestions which we followed up on! Worth the Money, I will definitely be coming again!!!!”

“I relocated to Buffalo about a year ago and this place has become one of my favorite for sure. Portions are great, flavor is really good and prices are decent plus service is always great as well. Definitely worth going and also taking food to go or frozen meal (taste just the same as the real thing served on the spot).”
“Love the people almost as much as the food. Great comfortable atmosphere and just an overall great experience every time I eat here.”
“Stopped in tonight since we has a sweet deals certificate we have been wanting to use ! First off super friendly staff , I felt like I had known them forever ! We took our food home as we both had a long week and everything was amazing ! Can’t wait to come back and try some other items !”
“Great food (I won't shut up about their pizza), great service (everyone is so nice and just want you to eat well)! The prices are so friendly to one's wallet, especially when factoring in how GOOD the food is! Each bite of the various food I'd gotten here had me thinking "This would be $x more somewhere else." Highly recommended. Definitely taking my little family here next time we're in Buffalo!”
“I WOULD GIVE THEM 10 STARS IF I COULD: I placed a door dash order not getting my hopes up too high because other latino places I've ordered from weren't all that great BUT BABYYYY!!! The food was not only warm when it got here but FRESH! We know what old rice taste like and That was not it!... the arroz con gandules... BOMB... arroz Blanco and habichuelas...BOMB.... Carne Frita, empanadillas, pernil......BOMB! The serving sizes are amazing! Packaging impeccable! Prices... ABSOLUTELY REASONABLE! If you're looking for the HOME feel of the Islands...THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT TO ORDER FROM! Bien provecho!”
“Didn't get a chance to try the food but would love to come back! Drinks are clever and the space has a great vibe to it.
Can't wait to come back!”

Fine Dining
“I have been to each incarnation of this space since Yiannis in the 1980s - Angeline holds its own! Lively (if crowded) bar, beautiful decor and excellent service. Oysters were fresh, cold…delicious. Gem salad terrific. Swordfish alla Putanesca nicely cooked, delicious sauce but…..scrub the clams better. I was so excited to see them, but there were tiny pieces of shell in the sauce. No one wants to pick their teeth at the table. Scrub-a-dub-dub!
Olive oil cake was perfect.”
“The food was The bomb, the drinks was the bomb, the waitress was the bomb !!”
“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.”
Cheap Eats
“I tried the rose velvet latte for the first time about a week ago and I haven't been able to get my mind since! It is so good- smooth, and not overpowering. This is definitely the best coffee shop in Buffalo, and it has such a calming atmosphere. I love it here!”
“This location is better run than our US government and your local Chick Fil A. The service hear is borderline world class. The employees are boarder line robotic the way they work and their efficiency and quality. Even Elon musk would be jealous of this staff. The staff is so friendly you would think they are on something…which they are!….they are high on happiness! The manager, is always on point, knows everyone’s order, and sometimes strikes up a conversation about Antimatter. She seems to be very interested in this topic so if you have a chance, bring it up to her.”
“The food is SO close to the flavours from home. Special shout out to the aam bhorta, fuchka and egg sandwhiches. They even carry shell and core style icecream. The owner is super friendly and custimizes your food to your taste. Staff was super friendly and you can tell by the regular visitors that he is well known in the area!”
“I stopped in yesterday for the 1st time and man oh man is this place a little gem. I was unsure of what to get so the gentleman who was there gave me a piece of the baklava to try...IT WAS ABSOLUTLEY DELICIOUS. I ended up buying a couple pieces of each flavor (cashew, almond, pistachio and traditional). Don't even get me started on the honey cake with pistachios...DROOLSSSS. I will most certainly be back to give the shawarma a try after having such a good experience with the fresh yummy desserts. I am not sure if the guy working that day is the owner or not, but he was very friendly and sweet. I cannot say enough good things about this place!”
“My daughter found this on our trip we always try to find something we do not have back home and this was the spot . When I say hands down the best burger I have had we ordered the loaded fries to share and as my daughter says mom ... this is awesome . the staff was amazing and the cook even came out and talked . I will say if you're in the area and looking to try something different it's worth the stop.”
“Just had Radah for the first time yesterday! I got a mystery box and mannnnn it did not disappoint!!! Everything was absolutely AMAZING!!! So soft, and taste was on point. You can tell some love and hard work really went into these products! 10/10 recommend and will definitely be coming back for more!”
“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. The wings are a standout too—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they come in a variety of mouth-watering sauces. 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. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the mood for great burgers and wings!”
“Update on second visit: beef with onions and scallions and eggplant and wonton soup and Kung Pao shrimp alllllll very tasty. Looking forward to third visit. Highly recommended: I think this place is right up there with Home Taste, also on Delaware, for best authentically-Chinese food in Western New York. And they have "American Chinese" food for your friends who are not as adventurous as you. Plenty of space, attentive service without rushing, at least at lunch. Sliced fish with Chili Oil tender and properly spicy; Cumin Beef strongly flavored as it should be. Ham Hock with brown sauce (and bok Choy) tender and flavorful. Green beans a little al dente and crunchy inside while being singed on the outside. Will return!”
“Their curries and appetizer is good. Biryani is not that great.
Don't miss to have Indian Chai, if you are tea lovers. It's simply superb.
Service was good and they are very friendly.
Nice restaurant in buffalo for Indians to visit.”
“Christine was amazing at serving our table! We had a bunch of us come in without reservation, and resurgence still provided the upmost service for us! Very happy with the quality drinks and service.”

“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!”
“Love the people almost as much as the food. Great comfortable atmosphere and just an overall great experience every time I eat here.”
“We just has our son and daughter in law's wedding here last Friday. Between the venue, food and staff I could not be happier with the way things turned out. They staff was wonderful and the food was great. Everyone has an amazing time. Highly recommended.”
“My husband and I stopped at Froth during a 1,000 mile Bicycle Ride for charity. EVERY staff was amazing, we met one of the owners and his girlfriend who were equally amazing! They even gave us items to use as giveaways for our ride. When it comes to beer and food, Froth is unmatched! Their beers are amazing, the food is amazing and the atmosphere is so cool. We wish we lived closer to be able to come more often but will definitely be back!”
“Staff, food, drinks and atmosphere were all amazing! We were going to be in Amherst for a softball tournament and reached out to Pour Taproom to host a team/family dinner. It was perfect. We had a designated section reserved for our group. The girls got to sit together and bond, younger siblings were kept entertained playing some of the numerous games the restaurant had on hand and the adults got to relax while enjoying some tasty food and drinks. Parents were still talking about that dinner a week later. 10/10. Would highly recommend.”
“Stopped in for a little snack and a few drinks. Good beer and bourbon selections and the charcuterie platter was excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive, and working hard! Nice decor and comfy couches!”
“Sarah was our server and she was excellent Everything was perfection. Had a lovely Birthday celebration.”
“The show was amazing, funny and emotional. I loved the show and the actors. The director (Bobby J) is an amazing host and director. While the place is a bit expensive, the show was totally worth it.”
“Service was excellent (thank you David) Food and excellent, the bartenders were excellent. 10 out of 10”
“Greg was our server. That was the name at the top of the bill. I forgot to confirm. Greg was the reason this earned 5 stars. We had a table of 15. Greg preplanned the bills and really worked to make sure we were taken care of. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen that level of customer service. We had some amazing food and some average food. Drinks were delicious. Extremely cool atmosphere.”
“Absolutely rad joint. it's a bit hidden, but the beer is tasty and the mood is chill. id definitely recommend their Tropical Tango IPA. the staff are nice, great to shoot the breeze with. I'll definitely be coming back here.”
“Stopped in tonight since we has a sweet deals certificate we have been wanting to use ! First off super friendly staff , I felt like I had known them forever ! We took our food home as we both had a long week and everything was amazing ! Can’t wait to come back and try some other items !”
“It so fun doing Rocky Horror at the Screening Room! Plus all the other different events the venue hosts makes it a go to destination!”
“What a great restaurant!! The food was phenomenal! I had my birthday dinner at Bella Ciao and I was very impressed. The Lobster Mafalde was loaded with lobster and so delicious. The Rice Balls were out of this world. The Peanut Butter pie was the best I ever had. Also, Casey, the Manager was so accommodating and personable. She just couldn't do enough for us. I just can't wait to go back!! (I am still thinking about the Three Cheese Garlic Bread) The BEST!”
“The food and atmosphere were great. The winter decorations really made the environment feel cozy while we had dinner too! Whoever decorated did a great job! The service was fast and friendly, everyone in our group had a fun time.”
“Came here to say how much of a blast I had on my birthday! The staff couldn’t have been any more cool or sweeter. Wish I got their names! Absolutely love that you guys use, “Flat 12 Mushrooms” because they are the best!! I’m usually not an experimental eater however I am more than happy I trusted the staff because now im addicted & want to try every thing they offer on their menu! 10/10 highly recommend, will DEFINITELY be coming again! *I came in for happy hour on 1/18/25”
“Everything about the place is the best. It has the best attributes of a brewery and a neighborhood pub. Excellent beer, friendly owner and staff along with chill atmosphere and a lot of walk up neighborhood regulars.”
“The only restaurant in Buffalo with a tasting menu worth that name. Since we discovered it just after the pandemic, we have been there close to a dozen times. It never disappointed!”
“Love the atmosphere/vibe of this place! As a huge whiskey fan this place is a new favorite!! My husband had the burger and i had the steak which was awesome and the fried pickles were delicious too.”

“Taste Delicious, You should Try their Best Bubble tea In Buffalo City.”
“We always have a great experience here. The place is cozy and comfortable, everyone is welcoming and the food is excellent. Had New Year’s Eve dinner and the specials were amazing, especially the grouper dish. One of our go to places!”
“This place is absolutely delicious. Their lamb haneeth is one of a kind and they truly have some of the best white rice. The owner is very sweet as well. If you want to experience something different in Buffalo, Shibam is the place to go! I will be coming back to try their chicken next time.”
“Probably the best burgers we’ve ever had AND such a great staff!”
“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.”
“What a great atmosphere! The food & drinks were absolutely amazing 🤩 Thank you!”
“The entire dining experience was incredible! We definitely found our new favorite restaurant!”
“When I came in I was greeted by an amazing young lady I never caught her name tho. But she offered me to sit anywhere I’d like too. Her customer service was really awesome. She brought water and took my order really fast. She made sure I was comfortable. The food I ordered was the hulk and Snow White sushi rolls which are FREAKING AMAZING!!!! She filled my glass of resiling and baby Im having a tiiiiiiiiime! I will definitely be back more often and bringing friends! I love it here.”

“5/5. I cannot say enough about my recent experience hosting a get together for 12 people on Sept. 7th. We used the private room, great for an intimate gathering of our size. The food and drinks were perfect and the staff made it all the better. Thank you and we will see you soon.”
“My boyfriend and I went there last night for dinner! It was his first time and we both loved it. We got the calamari, ceviche, shrimp and grits and the penne paste! The calamari is by far the best I have ever had! The bartender Will was amazing and made our dining experience that much more enjoyable! We cannot wait to go back!”
“Frankie Primos is our favorite. Authentic cuisine just like you’d find in grandma’s kitchen. Everything is perfect every time we come.”
“Best sandwich I’ve ever had! The pickles are amazing too! Cute spot for lunch, definitely will be back!”
“Food was great! Beef on weck, chicken wings, steak sandwich were all perfectly cooked and tasted great. Service was so unsatisfactory and the waitress truly gave a lackluster effort. I will gladly go to this place again as long as I get a different server.”
“I alway enjoy whatever cocktail I get from Ballyhoo, and my last visit there was no different. One of the best bars in town in my opinion with very reasonably priced drinks and excellent customer service. Not a very large bar space, but definitely worth checking out. They do serve a limited food menu as well, but I have not tried any yet.”
“Creative and innovative cocktails. The menu is carefully created by extremely talented chef’s The owners Tony, Jess and Ed are always ready to make your dining experience extra special”
“Every time I’ve eaten at the Phoenix 269 the food was incredible- the service is perfect. I love the atmosphere and the patio. It’s a cozy, family run business that makes you feel like your eating with family! I had the shrimp dish / it was delicious. The ice cream pie was unbelievably good! I’ll be back.”
“Great place for sour and IPA beers. New releases every Thursday! Flights are available. Nice decor and atmosphere. Make sure you say hi to Alden who is very knowledgeable about all of the products! Highly recommend.”

They truly saved the day after we were saddened by going to Coco Bar & Bistro’s service, we tried here again and it was one of the best meals we’ve had in buffalo. I had the winter chowder and my partner had the maple dijon glazed pork belly and both were phenomenal. and the wait staff was so nice!”

“My wife & I had a wonderful experience at Coco last night. All of the staff we interacted with were very friendly and helpful. Our server, Brie, was excellent - very attentive, courteous and personable. We shared the lamb burger and an order of moules - both were fabulously delicious. Prices were very reasonable. We will return in the not too distant future.”

“I went in to inquire about cheese platters for an event I was hosting and Laura was so nice and helpful. She called to confirm the order the morning of which was appreciated. I will be using them again. Highly recommend.”
“Went there before a play for dinner at Shea's Buffalo. This place is on the Chippewa bar strip, so we were not expecting much. Walking inside, it looks like a typical party/cocktail bar, brick walls, long bar, and tables opposite the bar with plastic chairs and Formica tables, so you are sitting in the bar. At 5:30PM on restaurant week before a nearby playing of Hamilton, we were the only diner's there (and only 4 others at the bar). Now the good part.... one of the best meals I have had in a long time!!!!! Waitress/bartender was prompt, attentive and friendly. The special for restaurant week that we had was $35 for soup/salad (I had soup), Duck with asparagus, yams, sprouts and and pie for dessert. This meal was fabulous! Perfect portion and perfect flavor. The caramel/peanut butter pie was luscious! On top of all this, we were there during happy hour, so $3 a beer. I highly recommend trying this place to eat, just don't expect a cozy, intimate atmosphere. You won't be disappoints, and you won't be broke.”
“Amazing staff, great food, cool environment, arcade cabinets, pinball, and ski balls upstairs, karaoke every Sunday! I love this place been a regular for over a year now”

“Once again we had an exceptional dinner at Trattoria Aroma this evening. From the warm and genuine welcome to our excellent dessert it was pure pleasure! The food is always delicious with a unique presentation and excellent prices! In the past 30 years we have always been accustomed and greeted by name by the wonderful owners and staff! Continues to be our go to favorite in Buffalo!”
“I stopped in yesterday for the 1st time and man oh man is this place a little gem. I was unsure of what to get so the gentleman who was there gave me a piece of the baklava to try...IT WAS ABSOLUTLEY DELICIOUS. I ended up buying a couple pieces of each flavor (cashew, almond, pistachio and traditional). Don't even get me started on the honey cake with pistachios...DROOLSSSS. I will most certainly be back to give the shawarma a try after having such a good experience with the fresh yummy desserts. I am not sure if the guy working that day is the owner or not, but he was very friendly and sweet. I cannot say enough good things about this place!”
“What a great restaurant!! The food was phenomenal! I had my birthday dinner at Bella Ciao and I was very impressed. The Lobster Mafalde was loaded with lobster and so delicious. The Rice Balls were out of this world. The Peanut Butter pie was the best I ever had. Also, Casey, the Manager was so accommodating and personable. She just couldn't do enough for us. I just can't wait to go back!! (I am still thinking about the Three Cheese Garlic Bread) The BEST!”

“The food was really great, the drinks were tasty, but the service was really sloooow. I could've left 30m prior, but couldn't get the wait staff to get a box and bring the check. It was not that busy, we were seated right away, and opted to sit at the bar.
And the bar and menus were all sticky, that was kinda gross.”
“I tried the rose velvet latte for the first time about a week ago and I haven't been able to get my mind since! It is so good- smooth, and not overpowering. This is definitely the best coffee shop in Buffalo, and it has such a calming atmosphere. I love it here!”
“Visiting Mister Sizzle's with my boys is always a highlight for us; it's our special treat. From the moment we step into this vibrant burger joint on Buffalo's West Side, the atmosphere fills us with anticipation. What truly sets our experiences apart, aside from the inviting vibe and the staff's warm hospitality, are the flavors that await us. Mister Sizzle's is renowned for its diverse burger lineup and signature milkshake cocktails, offering something for everyone, including a delightful vegan option for those seeking alternatives.
However, the star of our visits has always been the milkshakes, particularly the cookies and cream flavor. It's the boys' go-to choice and never fails to impress. The rich, creamy texture combined with the perfect blend of cookies and cream is unmatched; it's the best milkshake we've found in Western New York, hands down.
The news that Mister Sizzle's is expanding to Hamburg, taking over a spot that holds memories of a past burger joint near Spot Coffee, excites us immensely. Their epic burgers are without comparison, and having them closer to home means more joyful outings with my boys. The anticipation for the Hamburg location's opening, where we'll get to enjoy our favorite burgers and milkshakes more frequently, adds a special touch to our future family outings. Mister Sizzle's, with its commitment to the community, environment, and quality, truly stands out not just as a burger place but as a beacon of good times and great food in Buffalo.”
“This is an amazing little gem hiding on Maple rd. My daughter and I were looking for a place to eat, something different from the everyday chains and decided to try Roma Thai & Burmese Cuisine. The Samosas are a pocket of perfect spice. I had the Roma Ginger-a healthy and perfect blend of vegatables and giner sauce. The service was excellent! We had a great dining experience and will definately be returning.”

“I brought my wife a chicken shawarma home. We don't live very close to the restaurant, but it was so good, she insists I drive all the way there to get take-out from now on. It was delicious! The chicken was cooked to perfection, the spices so flavorful, and the portion so much that she couldn't finish it. (She almost didn't let me have any, because she wanted to finish it 'later'! herslef! haha)”
“Met some girlfriends tonight at Neat for dinner and drinks. The hostess was friendly and seated us quickly. We had loganberry Moscow mules that were delicious and started with the Brussel sprouts appetizer! Our server Olivia was very friendly and sweet....attentive and gave good suggestions.
