Spectacular. Cuban sandwich, spicy shrimp toast, and Spanish potatoes were heavenly. The beef skewers were insanely tender. The place was packed and for good reason. Buffalo gem.

It's all good! Excellent roast beef sandwiches. Really good sides. Interesting soft drink selections. Excellent service in a retro bar.

If you really enjoy good sandwiches. Roast beef, a Cuban this is a must stop. Do you like going somewhere not overbearing that puts the quality of the food first? This is a must stop. In fact if you are reading this, and not currently traveling to Moriarty's you are listening,and are making a huge mistake.

My beef on weck was good, and my tablemate's House Burger was excellent. The attached butcher shop had an unrivalled selection of cuts of meat.

Finally stopped in for lunch for the first time after wanting to go for months. I had the house burger, which was exactly what I imagine when I think of the perfect burger. My husband had the beouf on weck, which was also great. Their house unsweetened iced tea was really nice - not the typical black tea you might think of.The atmosphere was very comfortable with plenty of seating, and the staff were very kind.

Cute little cafe adjacent to a great butcher shop in North Buffalo. The roast beef sandwich was everything I hoped for and more! The place was very busy, but moved quickly, very limited menu, great service and decent pricing.

This business has earned a special place in my heart. The quality of ingredients, impeccable flavors, simplicity of dishes and effortless execution all make it one of my favorites places to dine in Buffalo.Cuts served here are fresh from butcher shop next door and is sourced locally. The service is always top tier and I can say I always leave full and happy.Stop in and check them out!

Always ask about the specials and stop by the tapas display at the cafe counter. Getting one of each and a main is perfect. You really can't go wrong here, everything is exceptional.

Finally stopped in, just for a snack. Have been wanting to eat here for at least a few years!Ordered a tapas, the name of which I cannot reproduce (soprasados?), but it was a single crostini with a sausage spread. It was delicious, but just one for $2.50, so I thought it was overpriced. Also ordered the Pintxos Morunos which was 2 skewers with really well-seasoned chunks of meat, 3 large chunks/skewer. Totally worth the $10.00! Wish it had come on a bed of brown rice, or with a whole wheat pita or some type of carb...but this is a minor flaw. Would definitely order it again.Other diners seemed to be enjoying their fried chicken sandwiches and beef on weck. Next visit, I'm trying the beef: it was piled high, and others have noted how special it is.

We love to come here for expert advice on unique cuts of meat and the bacon!! It's thick sliced and barely shrinks!Today we stopped for lunch after a bike ride. Sat outside on their sidewalk patio.. beautiful. Husband had the burger and it was perfect! I had the chicken sandwich which was very good but too much mayo, I'll ask for light next time. One suggestion, the website says "roasted" chicken sandwich, which is what I wanted. My husband went in to order while I enjoyed the sunshine.. the sandwich actually was fried... the website should be updated to reflect what the menu really is. All in all, this meat shop/ cafe is run by a young couple from the area and I highly recommend it!

We had lunch here and it was a real treat! The service was speedy and the food was delicious. We tried the porchetta sandwich and the beef on weck. Both were excellent! Such a charming place. We'll definitely be back.
