“Having been many times, I am surprised I have been so remiss in reviewing 2 Forks Up. We're close, so we go frequently. I have rarely been anything but satisfied, and frequently pleasantly full with my taste buds tickled.To start with, parking is odd - they are located in a strange part of center Getzville next to some old buildings we are always curious about. Their stairs are steep to enter.Now, on to the goods. I brought the (adult) kids and in-laws there last night, and we had plentiful apps (fried banana pepper rings, good but not painful heat), mozzarella sticks, and salads. Bottle of wine, few drinks and entrees all around, bill was $300 with tip for 6. Not awful.Lobster roll continues to be well-stuffed and tasty. Wife's shrimp scampi had her raving. Father in law's food restrictions were well handled and he enjoyed his meal. Wish the scallops on the Cajun scallop roll were larger and fewer in number but the taste can't be beat. I would order the fisherman's platter if I wanted to indulge and be less-than-healthy.No desserts this time but check out the case when you enter to eye what they have!Huge plusses include a server who handled our unusually-picky table with grace and professionalism, THE SIDEWINDER FRIES (the best fries I have ever had!), a tasty gin and tonic with cucumber that was very reasonably priced, the after-dinner mints (we selfishly always pocket a handful, they're our favorite in town!), and wine to-go.Only drawback, really, is the loud dining room, but hey, folks are having a good time.We'll be back soon, especially when our mint supply starts to run low. ?“
“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!!!“
“Listen this was an amazing experience! From service, the caesar salad, mac & cheese, fries, and the steak it was phenomenal! I also ordered a lemon drop martini (not pictured) it was so good until I ordered another one. Will go back again.“
“Love the food and atmosphere and the service is great. I understand food prices have gone up and realize restaurants have raise prices but we found a significant price jump since last summer. That being said, we will return because we do enjoy the food and atmosphere.“
“Such a lovely experience. Great food. My husband had the chicken Parmesan and he loved it said best chix parm he ever had. I had a seafood special and it was cooked to perfection. The bread was amazing. Dessert was mini donuts and were perfect and so much flavor. My martini was perfect and they even made me blue cheese stuffed olives!! I note that the owner made everyone feel very special by interacting with every table and service was excellent and attentive. Thank you Lauren.For a Friday night, where sometimes it’s so busy to go to a restaurant, you almost expect to get a lower level of service .… we received a higher level of service than I get at most establishments. Thank you for such a lovely and tasty evening.“
“Their service and food continues to be one of the best in WNY! We happily drive about 30 minutes away for their fish fry. Small wait on Fridays of course. Same everywhere for Lent. Cajun fries were a good choice with the fishParking: Very irregular size lot around the outside of the restaurant, tough to park when it's busy“
“Went for brunch for a birthday. Food was excellent. Views were wonderful and staff were friendly and helpful. Family already asking me when we can go back again. Rarely leave reviews, but felt compelled to for this experience. Set in one of the most beautiful parts of “
“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 ?“
“Went last night for girls night and had a blast!We were greeted and seated immediately upon arrival by a very lovely hostess. 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. By the time we left we knew we'd be back for more!!!“
“SZND is a unique upscale restaurant in the city of Buffalo! I love dining in their sophisticated intimate setting. Everything about this restaurant is fantastic! They provide excellent service. Their food is seasoned to perfection! I highly recommend the blackened artichokes for an appetizer. The fettuccine & scallops and halibut are two dishes not to be missed! I've dined here on several occasions. It's been consistently wonderful every time! Their address is on Hertel but the entrance is around the corner. The sign is easy to miss. Parking can be a bit of a challenge. There is a parking lot across the street I usually have luck finding a space there. It's definitely worth making a trip out here!“
“Highly recommend Grezi on Main! We came from out of town to visit with family and had the pleasure of dining at this local restaurant. We enjoyed starting out with a cocktail (The Oliver), Autumn Salad, Pan Seared Scallops, Jumbo Chicken Wings and Brussels Sprout Bruschetta. We enjoyed the Grezi Smash Burger as our entree. Then ended the night with 3 different desserts. Food was phenomenal, staff were friendly and decor was elegant!! This Buffalo restaurant is outstanding!“
“I am from the New England area. And, I am a tough customer in regards to seafood. Hayes is the best! At the restaurant. To pack it up raw. And cook for yourself! Simply put. The freshest and best in the buffalo and surrounding areas!!!!“
“This place was crazy fun, the atmosphere was amazing, and the conversations were enthralling. The bartender is a hoot... and a cutie ?, and the people there will have you wheezing.Besides that I gotta give compliments to the chef. I got the Angus burger and let me tell you, you gotta try it. They add something sweet to the burger (I skepticize it to be some sort of jam) but the contrast that it makes.with the savory burger is amazing. Not to mention the Fry's cooked to perfection; exactly what I needed.All around the place was very clean, definitely up to date on everything; and from what I've seen of the kitchen there's not much to worry about. The bathrooms were spiff and span and the mirror was cool.Which brings me to my final point, The layout. I had to say the design of the bar was very classic, you come in and are treated with a bar and a few tables and a booth wall. The kitchen connects behind the bar and out of the bar and a kitchen window. Then a small hallway that leads to both genders bathrooms and some other off limit stuff I presume(Didn't snoop around too much XD). I really like the bar and how the spirits were backlight.To summarize, id give it a 5/5 if you're looking for a good time. Thanks if you actually read all this.(PS, Sam, nice tattoo)Wheelchair accessibility: Street level with a door wide enough, no automatic doors but I'm sure a bartender or a fellow citizen would help.“
“My friends and I go to Nephew’s bbq every other Friday because we enjoy not only the food, but the atmosphere, the music and the service. I always get the rib dinner (compares to Lee’s Ribs on Fillmore) with potato salad (so bomb), and then add on a slice of cheesecake. For the drink, I get the Precious Paradise (it’s so fruity and delicious). Everything is great! Everyone is very welcoming! Tionne, the server is a little sweetheart and I absolutely love her! I highly recommend! We go to chill, mingle, vibe and listen to music and eat delicious food! I always look forward to my Fridays here!“
“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.“
“The food and atmosphere are hard to beat anywhere in town, let alone downtown. I really appreciate that there's so much that I can eat with my dumb food allergy issues (gluten, dairy, corn, eggs). The staff is super friendly and helpful as well!“
“The best meal and service I have had in Buffalo. Our waiter, Chris, was fantastic. The food and wine were beyond expectations. I highly recommend the seafood tower and the scallop entree- but you can’t go wrong with one of their beautiful cuts of beef. Amazing cocktails, sides and desserts. Incredibly accommodating for our party of 7 people. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Give it a try!!“
“Never a negative experience this restaurant does everything the right way and it’s staff is superb various menu options will have you returning for moreVegetarian options: Veggies omelette ,soup, lasagna etcParking: Close and has multiple handicap spotsWheelchair accessibility: Asphalt ramp“
“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.“
“Service was great! Ambiance was even better and food was very good! There was ALOT of good meals to choose from. Caesar was one of the best I've had. Cacio e Pepe was 8/10. Can't say it tasted 100% authentic as it should taste mostly like pecorino but the house made noodles were perfect. It could have used a little more salt. Lobster was cooked perfectly. Tiramisu was a 10/10. Espresso martini was decent. Pretty sure it was coffee liquor and not actual espresso. Can't wait to go back !!“
“My family had dinner tonight. I had the scallop special which was outstanding (and gluten free friendly !). My husband had the Reuben, and my son had the spaghetti and meatball. Great service and good quality food. Always a good meal. Would recommend.“
“I have a lot of food allergies that often make it difficult for me to eat out. Thai Orchid Cafe was wonderful with taking the time to ask additional questions to clarify what I can and can’t eat. You can also tell that their ingredients are very fresh and was overall super delicious!!“
“Had my daughters bridal shower brunch there today. Everything went perfect! Diane was very easy to work with, very accommodating and everything went as was planned. The room looked great, food was delicious and the service was excellent. Thank you again for making it easy to have a joyous celebration without any headaches. Would definitely book an event there again!Parking: Free parking.“
“Very good and diverse food selection. Not the best I have ever had, but not bad at all. Atmosphere is typical tavern restaurant although really restaurant dominate. Ok beer selection, poor wine options, margaritas served in a rock glass. But all in all I would not hesitate to go there again as long as it was convenient.“
“The perfect spot for a blend of comfort and quality dining. During the week they do deals for two. We visited on a Thursday for two 20oz Blackened Prime Rib steaks, a choice of sides, soup or salad, and a bottle of wine for $85. We also enjoyed their Bacon wrapped BBQ Scallops! Many restaurants’ can not do Bacon wrapped right, but there’s is perfect! The fish tanks are a great touch and make for such a unique vibe.“
“3/8/24G&B is a very nice place to get your meals!It is clean, service is most respectful, staff is always kind and pleasant!The food is WONDERFUL!!!! It is fresh , not swimming in oil, comes with sliced bread, and is always prepared neatly, and with the preferred condiments! So pleased to have been told about this gem!“
“As soon as I seen another Hot Pot placed opened up I was very eager to try this out. It's not a typical hot pot restaurant where you cook the food yourself, but you can pick what you want inside your dish (meats, seafoods, veggies, etc.). The selection of choices is very good, and the quality is great. I'll definitely be coming back for more.“
“Came here on a Saturday afternoon. It was very busy, so the service was pretty quick.I got 1lb of the headless shrimp - it tasted ok. The shrimp itself was a tad overcooked and it didn’t taste as good as a seafood boil in the South. Probably because it wasn’t a seafood boil in the South…Not sure if I’d go back, but I will say, I was full for HOURS afterwards.“
“Ordered take out. Eggplant parmesan sub was delicious. Perfectly breaded eggplant. 1/2 and 1/2 pizza had a flavourful crust. Real italian. You won't be disappointed.They legit appreciate your business.Vegetarian options: Eggplant parmesan!“
“I was so happy with how I was treated Brianna our waitress was so sweet I haven’t gotten service like that in a while. She was on top of everything and knew what I wanted without asking. So glad there are still people like her that are so helpful and nice. Definitely coming back here again soon.“
“So I like real food even if I'm going out to eat I somewhat wanted to taste like home cooked food and let me tell you this restaurant restaurant use real cornmeal on the are fish shrimp and the portions are heavy The food is Good and they have been over here in our hood for the longest and we appreciate them being here go visit this restaurant the money you spend will be worth it tell them Miss Coco sent you“
“Had a horrible experience. Our server was very pushy and barely serviced our table because she had bigger tables we remain calm and nice and tried to engage but all she did was talk over us every time we had an issue or needed something. We had an issue she argued and said that we had ordered something we didn't the bill ended up becoming $140 more than it should have and the manager did nothing but give a $40 gift card. When my husband told the server he didn't order king crabs he ordered snow crabs she argued with him and he just accepted it because he's a nice guy he didn't eat his crabs because he never eats king crabs he doesn't like the texture so he gave them to everyone else at the table we were also shorted crabs and when we brought up to the manager all he did was offer $40 gift card our bill was well over $300 I will never go back here again nothing was taken seriously. I felt like our night out was just one big scam. This was our first and last time there. And yes we did leave a tip for the server even though she did a horrible job. And to add both tables around us also had trouble with their servers and their bills.“
“Great subs mostly. The steak and cheese is lackluster at best. A nice hoagie sauce would make it a bit better. Also a slightly larger portion of steak. I try to get a different sub everytime I come in here. This was the first time I have seen “
“The food is always perfect! It's often painfully loud from televisions or music but they'll turn it down if you ask. Service is always perfect, it's great! I love the sushi here, it's the best I've found without going over the border.Prices are a little high. A bentou is $26 for mostly fried food and rice.“
“i bought a 2 litter docter pepper here and they let me share it with my dog vincent in the pizza lobby they even gave me a bowl to pour the docter pepper in for vincent ive never seen my dog so happyVegetarian options: they have 2 litters of docter pepper which is my favorite beverage because does not have any eggs, beef, milk, or mammals in its 23 flavours and I think that makes it veegan“
“We ordered here for the first time and I'm very happy with the experience. The food tasted very good and the prices were reasonable. The steamed dumplings were fantastic with more meat inside than any other Chinese restaurant I've been to in a long time. I'm only giving four stars because there was one thing I found to be unsatisfactory: the rice. The rice that is part of the combo dinners was sort of bland and a little too dry for my taste. Overall, though I was very pleased and I will definitely order with them again.“
