“Hidden gem in Larkinville, near Buffalo.Visited from Toronto and this place did not disappoint. It gets quite busy but we only waited for about 12 mins. The restaurant itself is tiny but cozy, the staff are friendly (I swear "Woody Harrelson" was serving the couple beside us lol).Not our server, but an employee with coloured hair kept saying "Excuse me!" quite loud with an attitude like we're ruining her day. It was obvious she's being rude. Other than that, the overall service was fine.We ordered Reuben with sweet potato fries; it wasn't too bad and the portions were good, not too stingy either. The House Corned Beef Hash was very good but the corned beef was a little dry. The grilled cheese sandwich with chips was thoroughly enjoyed by the kids.”

I ordered a Manhattan and my friend a gin martini. Both were excellent. For an appetizer we had the small plate of scallops. Cooked to perfection and delicious. The bread brought to the table was yummy as well. We both had the pecan crusted salmon. To die for as were the diced sweet potatoes and spinach it came with. We enjoyed a bottle of Standing Stone dry Riesling with dinner. One of our Finger Lakes favorites, and it paired wonderfully with the salmon dinners. Dessert? Why of course. The tiramisu, which was also fantastic. Overall, a great dinner in a great restaurant we have been to a number of times and will certainly go back to again. A gem in the Theater District.”

I was excited to see real Malaysian and Chinese food. My favorite was the Kam Heong; this is something special, this dish has crispy fried bone in chicken that is mixed with magic. I think it was a combination of curry leaves, soy sauce, chilies, and dried shrimp (I think). The chicken with fresh spicy pepper was delightfully seasoned, complex, and had what I believe were Szechuan pepper corns that have a special tingle to them. Certified good stuff!”

“I came in about a week ago for their happy hour and had a great experience! They have a nice happy hour menu, I got a smaller portion of the cucumber salad that was seasoned well and a great portion for an individual app.For my main, I had gotten the burger which was DELICIOUS. The double patty with cheese gives you the perfect bun to meat ratio. Grilled to perfection and seasoned beautifully. The side of potatoes have a great crunch with a wonderfully fluffy interior and an even better side of chimichurri. Quite frankly I’d buy the chimichurri by the jar if I could.Lastly, for dessert I had the olive oil cake. It was nice and light, the brown butter applesauce added a nice balance. The fennel sugar smelled like fennel but was overpowering to the palate. And to top it all off I had a great stout with my meal as well.Overall, great atmosphere with great food to pair. I look forward to returning again.”

She took extra time to go over the most popular dishes and gauged what we would most likely enjoy.The Thai tea is light and refreshing and I recommend you try it. I had the rare beef Pho and omg, I have enough leftovers for at least two more meals. The food was fantastic and the service was perfect.The atmosphere is well...comfortable and quirky.We were given time after our meal to catch up and laugh.

“Cannot say enough about how fantastic this place is, their food is so incredible that they could easily charge double and I'd still want to eat here! The venue is so well thought out and feels homey and very much like a local gem versus a chain type place, it is great. They also have an incredible wine selection, much larger than one would expect for a place of this size! Location is definitely not super large, so we would recommend making a reservation in advance. Definitely worth a visit!!!”

“We have been searching for a new place to get fish because our regular spot is temporarily closed. It hasn’t been easy because we only eat haddock. My husband needs Cajun broiled and I need panko breaded. We got 2 fish fry’s to go and we enjoyed them very much! I l put the fish n fries in air fryer for a few (my fault they were only warm). The macaroni salad was very good. Not tops brand like some places use. Cole slaw was different but we liked it! Fish was excellent. Also to be able to get 2 fish fry’s for $30 is crazy good! Staff was attentive and I tipped for my pickup. We will be back. Thank you, we are thrilled we found a new fish fry spot!”

“I got a fried haddock sandwich. It was just the small sun roll and the fish. A container of tarter sauce and hot sauce was in the bag. The fish was fried wonderfully. I would definitely go back again. The customer service was great! The young man behind the counter, a heavy set gentleman with an infectious smile that's always flirting with me from DTW made my food. Hahahahaa if you know you know. If you don't just keep reading. This is a seafood restaurant however they also sell wings and a few other things. The prefixes are incredibly reasonable. There is no reason not to check them out. It's a very small restaurant right adjacent to the YMCA on William. If ure not looking you will pass right by it.”

Food was also well plated and delicious but definitely a little on the pricier side. The staff were so friendly and great but service was extremely slow- something I've heard from my friends who frequent there to seems like an ongoing issue. Only giving four stars because of the slow service and unfortunately one of my friends had to send her meal back because there was a hair in it but they did rectify it with a percentage off and a new plate.”

“Okay the food, the setting, the layout!!!! 10/10. Self service for food- using a QR code that is placed on tables for the servers to run the food out to you PIPING HOT! Seat yourself and water and napkins and plates and wet-wipes (you’ll need them) to share were all easily accessible with both entrances.Went with a couple of friends and we tried:Pretzel and queso app ($14)- STUNNING, queso was a perfect blend of Smokey and smooth and the pretzels came in rods (4) and were piping hot 10/10Wingnutz dip ($13)- I know this is what they are known for but I personally like my chicken wing dip, spicy. The chicken was tender though and came with a massive plate of fresh chips. 8.5/10Spring Rolls ($13)- YUM- fresh out of the fryer laying on top of a bed of kimchi (not too soured or prickly but the perfect complement) and a sweet Chile sauce. Really fresh and crisp 9.5/10Last Dragon Tacos ($18)- WOW- these were super flavorful and fresh even with the very generous meat portion. Sometimes it can be too overwhelming, but they nailed this one between the kimchi and pickled red onions giving the taco the bite it needs, to the very tender brisket, and the sauce that adds a kick! Dynamite! 10/10Roasted Cauliflower Taco ($15)- packs quite the punch in a mouthful- really tender cauliflower that soaked up all of the delicious sauce served with. 8.5/10Wingnutz Chicken Sandwich ($16) with their Cajun fries. Note for the fries- absolute perfection, LOVE a fry that is just about half an inch thick- gives a great crust and super fluffy inside. Their chicken sandwich was MASSIVE, genuinely think they used half a chicken on it, soaked in a hot honey brine- they have perfected a Nashville style fried chicken and DONT forget the pickles (thick cut)”

Fat Bob's Smokehouse 41 Virginia Pl, Buffalo Barbecue • $$

“ETA: came here to leave a review, forgetting i left one two years ago. Fat Bobs is still amazing as ever and i just want to add that i could literally order a catering size of their cajun corn and sit there and eat the entire thing on my own.when I think barbeque in the area I think Fat Bob's. Their platters last me for days and absolutely love the flavor of the pulled chicken. I didn't realize until a recent visit (I usually order offline or based on memory) that there are monthly specials that include different sides... or at least the time I was there... so I have to remember to ask. Anyway, love their beans and pulled pork and despite its simplicity I could eat their cajun corn for days on end. One thing I'm not too crazy about but continue to order are the hush puppies.... not only is the batter sort of weird but it's cooked super inconsistently and have on several occasions gotten home with these black balls of impenetrable crust. Also, the added cost of packets of butter and honey is weird.... like I get a small upcharge but it's significant. Also, only thing that stinks is I get inconsistent reports on whether a side of sauce is included and I'm told it is then get home only to have none and nothing to add but the random burger king bbq sauce cup i have in a drawer (live in on campus housing that limits our cooking/food storage options) so to have missing items is kind of a bummer. otherwise, love this place and staff is overall very awesome and kind.”

“I came from Canada to try authentic Buffalo wings. We went to a restaurant recommended by a friend's friend, where I tried the wings sprinkle with recommended blue cheese.The atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant, and it made for a enjoyable lunch. Many locals were dining there, and I was surprised by the volume of today's special menu. It's a popular spot among the locals.Since it's also a brewery, you can enjoy various delicious beers. The restaurant is located in a residential area, and its appearance resembles a house, making it easy to overlook. There are also days when they have live band performances at night. The jukebox and the presence of four-leaf clovers inside the restaurant added to the ambiance.I bought beer as a souvenir for my husband, but it wasn't bottled; instead, they poured the beer from the dispenser into an empty can and sealed it, making it literally fresh beer to go.I definitely want to visit again.”
