“This is a hidden gem on Grand Island. Great place to stop before or after heading out on the Niagara River via kayak or boat. Great beer selection. Samantha on Saturday afternoons is a great bartender, friendly & hard working ! Always someone fun to chat with at the bar ! Stop in you won’t be disappointed“
“Had an amazing dinner here on Friday night! I wish I remembered to take a pic, but when I was presented my fish fry I began to dig in immediately! Three people got the beer battered fish fry while I got the Cajun which is grilled. My fish looked so great that everyone at the table had a bite of mine! It was served with slaw and choice of a 2nd side so I got the baked potato after dinner the table split a giant piece of banana pudding cake! Unbelievably huge and delicious! Always happy when I come here and I look forward to coming back. They offer fish fry's on Wednesday as well as Friday, so if you have an early craving for a fish fry... just stop in.“
“Great food and cocktails! Where the locals go for an afterwork drink. Salads are fantastic, wings good, pizza is to my liking, especially the veggie- their sauce is on the sweet side- my favorite!Gets busy, but usually always room.Family seating in the front. Also- there is a drive through window to pick up take out!! They also do delivery which was fast and easy too.“
“Fantastic spicey food with flavor I have not found anywhere else! I had the pleasure of talking to the owner about his experiences cooking and he was very excited to show me his spice blend and share new plans. I loved the passion and the family is extremely friendly! I highly recommend coming here“
“We visited Camp Cataract since it was recommended to us during our recent visit to Niagara Falls. It is a great bar with a cool vibe, delicious drinks and awesome people. The owners, Brian and Courtney, treated us like family and made sure we had a great time. Kyle was an amazing server as well! In fact, we had such a good time the first night, we came back again the next night! I highly recommend visiting Camp Cataract when you're in town!“
“Local hosted our staff appreciation night, and it was OUTSTANDING! The food and cocktails were amazing, and you just can’t beat the vibe. Thank you to Nathan, Steve & Courtney for everything! We will definitely be making this a tradition. Cheers!“
“I usually don’t write reviews however this place deserves a 10 star review. The food is Instagram worthy and delicious. I will probably dream about how good the food was and this restaurant will officially be my weekly go to place. Great vibes, great food, great staff! I highly recommend stopping by!“
“Fun place with super nice staff and a great selection of brews! You "rent" a card per person with your credit card on entry. Grab a fresh glass and select and pour your own brew choice - whether an ounce or a full glass. A selection of wines and hard ciders were also available. Atmosphere is very casual and there is a lot of outdoor seating available in better weather. Food was good - pub style choices.Kid-friendliness: Not a place for kids, although I'm sure they are welcome...“
“We went here for dinner one night, and liked it so much we came back for lunch the next day! The service is great, our waitress (got lucky and had her both times) was so sweet and she gave absolutely killer recommendations. Everything we ordered was incredible, drinks and food. I'm gluten free, but intolerant not allergic. They have a great selection of fully GF options (no cross contamination/shared fryer), but also have a bunch of stuff that is technically GF if cross contamination isn't an issue for you, the staff was really knowledgeable about the menu and allergens and was able to answer all my questions. So if you can handle cross contamination/shared fryers, ask them what dishes would be okay for you!We tried:The Game Burger: it was Lamb when we went, we both got it and absolutely loved it.The Bacon Jam Burger: my boyfriend absolutely loved thisThe pot roast sandwich: super tender meat, delishThe calamari: this is so good, I can't describe it. Super buttery, and served with a little bit of spicy peppers. It is divine.The sweet potato fries: crispy and delish, and the honey butter is next levelThe Chocolate Oblivion: it's their only gluten free dessert, but it is so good. I was nervous when they described it was a "dense" flour free torte, but it has an amazing smooth texture almost like a mousse and a cheesecake had a baby. It is rich and decadent, we split it and CRUSHED it. ?Drinks:My bf enjoyed a few beers, and their beer list is HUGE. great selection.Bourbon maple smash: strong, but super tasty. Not very sweet, but I prefer thatVanilla Chai White Russian: this was my favorite, not super sweet but absolutely incredible. It's very well balanced, and just so freaking good.Cranberry Gin Fizz: Made with my favorite gin (the botanist) and it is SO tasty, perfectly sweet and tart and just a refreshing easy sipper.Just go here, it'll be worth it!Dietary restrictions: So many allergen and dietary preference options, and the staff knows their stuff on all of the above! You can probably be accommodated here, and won't have to guess if your dietary restrictions are understood or if what you're eating is okay for you.“

“My husband, daughter and I very much enjoyed our cabin dinner experience. The food was delicious and Paula has to be the very best server we’ve ever encountered! She was friendly, efficient and very compassionate when advised I was immunocompromised; she volunteered to wear a mask when coming into our cabin and did so each time. Thank you to the chef for providing creative and tasty dishes we’ve never eaten before. All round, an incredible meal and experience for us! Bravo!“
“The steak special was a grade 9 wagyu steak which is comparable to A5 Japanese wagyu and it definitely lived up to its name. It was very delicious insanely tender melt In your mouth steak with mushrooms and truffles grated on top. The waiter knew an enormous amount of information about the food on the menu and was able to answer all questions we had. I personally recommend you come here and let the chef work his magic it was an amazing meal. I will definitely be coming back here again.“
“Amazing atmosphere. Old time charm, all renovated, my wife and I have had tea an coffee here a few times, and a few friends of mine as well, overall excellent place definitely would recommend it.Parking: Easy street parkingKid-friendliness: Great place to take kids as wellWheelchair accessibility: Accessible“
“Let's face it. You don't go to Sportsmen's Tavern for the food -- it's all about the music! This is an outstanding music venue which continues to spread through the community. But you may be surprised to learn the food is very good! I'm not sure if the kitchen is always open but be sure to order food when at Sportsmen's for the full experience.“
“We did a call ahead take out order for 9 people for lunch at the office. They were very efficient with taking the order and it was ready within 45 minutes. I believe I spoke with Thomas at pick up and he was super sweet and offered to help me carry the order out. I personally ordered the candied garlic burger and the flavors were incredible! No complaints from anyone regarding any of their orders!“
“The sign says it all "Good times, Great ftiends" this establishment truly walks by that. I could tell many of the people there knew each other they all welcomed me with open arms, I had the wings and pizza logs both very good along with great service. This is a great place to go hang out. I can garuntee you will have great conversation. I highly recommend.“
“Absolutely the best beef on Wick I’ve had in my life and I have tried so many. A friend told me I had to try this because I’d really enjoy it. That’s all he said. The Beef Wick is absolutely perfect. It literally melts in your mouth. The fries with gravy Were great everything we had was great. the bartender is also the waitress and it took about three glasses of wine before we got our food. so I would recommend buying a bottle it enjoyed the atmosphere. it was just a great night out. Well more like 2 glasses, that first one went dow pretty good lol.“
“By far one of the coolest bars in Buffalo! I've been wanting to stop by for awhile and was thrilled to finally be in the area and have some free time. I was pleased to find a tiny gothic literary themed spot with amazing and interesting drinks. You might have to be patient when ordering or getting a seat but it's well worth the it. This spot is decorated to the nines with Halloween-ish, gothic, spooky stuff and it's fun to check it all out. We tried the tepache which was alcohol made from a fermented pineapple and the watchdog cocktail. The tepache was super interesting and new to us. Was very sweet and pineapple-y. The watchdog was perfect for a cold dark night. It warmed me up and had hints of orange. Lots of neat and different kinds of drinks here and some bar snacks as well if you are hungry. Bartender was friendly and helpful with menu questions. They also serve absinthe and it's fun to watch them put it together. I also learned that this place serves as a community library. There are books all over and you are welcome to take or borrow some to read. They also make it clear they are LGBTQ+ friendly so all are welcome to come and enjoy.“
“My friend and I went there for drinks for the first time last night. We searched Googles for new cocktail bars in the area, and this place popped up. It was a great time. The cocktails were very well crafted. We didn't get food. The atmosphere was fun. A mix of the younger generation and older consumers were there. We had fun and also met up with a few other friends. Would highly recommend.“
“Enjoyed the food a lot, not so much the place.I was pleased with them having vegan options!There's not too much parking and the place was absolutely packed out the door, causing me to order to go instead. I wouldn't go back due to how busy it is and the layout being inefficient.Looking forward to the new locations with more parking and better layout!Overall the good food outweighed the chaos inside, so will order take out for a pick up next time!Vegetarian options: There are a few vegan options!“
“Some of the nicest people in the industry at this place. Never had a bad meal, although did have something that was too spicy for me. Every person working there is exceptional, especially the owner and family. The atmosphere is creative, and they have live music some nights. The drinks are fun and inventive too, and there's Sunday brunch to boot!!! Solid choice.“
“We visited Blue Cave Restaurant for the first time! Everything was amazing. Their craft cocktails were delicious. Food presentation was beautiful and the taste was superb. Our serve was attentive but not overbearing. They have menu items labeled for gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian. Highly recommend.“
“Love this place on the north end of Conesus like Anthony is great behind the bar. Very laid back atmosphere. Great clientele. I’ve DJed there a few times and everyone is very receptive. I’m looking forward being back there on April 15th“
“As a Canadian, I had high expectations for Buffalo chicken wings. We ordered the hot flavour and were not disappointed. Beer is ice cold... and we met the most lovely man named Matt ? was a great spot and felt totally comfortable like a local pub xo cheers to Matt you are a “
“Awesome drinks, great prices, and very kind bartenders! I ordered a cucumber jalapeño margarita which was delicious and made with all fresh ingredients. Our bartender gave us great recommendations on where to go to get away from the touristy Niagara Falls scene. She recommended Lewiston which was super cute with tons of local restaurants and bars, even had a jazz festival going on! Thanks so much!“
“The place has lots of cool Buffalo sports memorabilia. Lots of pic and jerseys lining the walls. Our server was so friendly and sweet. We split a few things since it was out 1st time here. Everything was served piping hot. The pickle chips were crispy and crunchy, with a nice dipping sauce, a little spicy but all tasty. The fries were cooked the way fries should be. Crispy outside, mashed potato like inside. The gravy served on the side was not very good. It was clumpy and not very tasty. The pulled pork(recommended by our fabulous server) was delicious, but I bit into a bone that damn near knocked my crown off. The server was very apologetic, and they even removed the sandwich from the check. (kind gesture that not a lot of places would do) The roast beef was good, but it was a bit overcooked for my taste. We really liked the atmosphere and the service, so we'll definitely return. You can't be perfect every day.“
“Updated 7/2/2023 We have been back several times over the years and it just keeps getting better! We were in last night and had some incredible food. The wine was amazing as always. If you haven't been and you are looking for noteworthy wine and delicious food this is the place to go. Can't wait to go back!!What a great find! Can't wait to go back, this will be our new spot. We had a couple of glasses of wine that was recommended by the bartender Pete - He was spot on! The wine selection was simple but high quality, something for everyone. Nice beer selection for the non wine drinker. The atmosphere of the venue was cozy and welcoming. The outdoor area was not open due to the cold but that looked cute as well. We will definitely be back and can't wait for the warm weather to sit on the patio.“
“Cozy neighborhood eatery and bar. The staff are friendly and make you feel like a regular on your first visit. The wings are great. Good buffalo sauce and crispy, blue cheese is really good, and I'm a buffalo wing snob. Atmosphere sings old buffalo with antiques and vintage photos.“
“Truly a special place. Unlike any other bar. Bartender was friendly and chatted us up. Open mic night was fun and it’s clearly an institution-full of regulars and the fact that we didn’t feel unwelcome was nice. Worth a visit just to check out what decades of people adding art and memorabilia on the walls can create.“
“Great spot with fantastic prices ans an authentic tavern atmosphere that's becoming a rarity in Niagara Falls.The location and live music make it worth stopping in, and it's close enough to other spots that you can make a fun pub crawl around the area“
“I stopped in for lunch with my daughter for the first time. The two ladies that were working were outgoing and welcoming, with fun personalities. You can tell the customers love them by how they react when they come in. It was fun to just watch them interact. The food was good. I had the reuben and it came on huge slices of bread with delicious fries. My daughter had loaded tots and said they were delicious, as well. The restaurant was clean and the bathroom was too. We only wish this little gem was closer to home for us. We will be back again when in the area.“
“We had an absolutely amazing experience for our friend’s bachelorette party this weekend. Our instructor, Sam, has such amazing energy and made our whole experience such a blast. Loved the atmosphere, food, drinks, and staff. Will definitely be returning on our next trip to Buffalo!“
“My father in law took me here and I've never had better wings in my life and as a lifelong Buffalonian I know my wings. Prices are out of this world reasonable and the atmosphere is great, tvs everywhere so you won't miss any breaking sports is a plus.“
“The exact embodiment of an Irish Pub you'd imagine if someone asked you to think of the ideal Irish pub, except without the stereotype redhead with green eyes at the door. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Food was decent, drinks served fast, and probably the best spot to take a date on Saint Paddy's (which I failed to do).Edit to add: each time I've been by here, Megan has been hostess/server. She's great! Instantly personable, relatable, a delight.If you can afford to spend a bit, the Banshee is really the best little spot to hang out. The charm of the space, and the staff, makes each visit deeply satisfying.Parking: There are a number of paid parking lots and paid parking garages in the area, but it's smack in the middle of downtown, so expect to pay for your time there. Ride services and cabs are ideal anyway, to prevent bad judgement after a few pints. To be honest, parking right in front of the building on Franklin St is *supposed* to be city street parking with meters, but some ppl have said they park there constantly and never pay anything (at least not in the afternoon/evening). Your call if you want to risk it. You can also pay $30 for the lot next door, if you really need some peace of mind.Wheelchair accessibility: Although the upper floors won't be accessible, the ground floor doors are accessibly wide and swing light on their hinges. The bathrooms can be a little snug to get thru the doors, but there are of course accessible stalls when thru those.“
“Honestly some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had. My fiancé and I just found this restaurant by luck and it made our whole trip! Our server Nicole was incredible and I know our experience wouldn’t have been the same without her. Highly recommend and I know we will be back soon! ☺️“
“My family came here looking for a place to eat and this ended up being a sleeper hit! This is basically an Applebee's but obviously way better! The food was very good. I could not believe the portion sizes though. With the prices they charge for the food, it's basically a steal. I honestly wish there were Tully's back downstate. Definitely worth bringing your family and friends to!“
“Scared to review, don't want this spot becoming too popular.. Not a hidden gem since it's right on Niagara. But I absolutely love coming here. The atmosphere is perfect, always. Great staff and awesome prices. We love the bathrooms, very hot. Get a panini!! Get a few drinks!! You'll be back ;)“
“Phenomenal! I had heard amazing things about Hutch's for years and finally made it in for a surprise birthday dinner from my friends. Each and every one of us absolutely loved and raved over our meals and drinks. Some of the freshest oysters and a delicious meatball to start our night, with espresso martini's and wine. I had the pork chop special with pear chutney and WOW, the biggest and moist cut of pork I've had with an amazing flavor profile. I had the fruit cookie for dessert and it was absolutely divine. Our server, Amanda, was so friendly and helpful, suggesting apps, working with my friend to find the perfect red wine for her, and even humoring my other friend to pick a meal and surprise her- and she picked well! Good service makes all the difference and we can't say enough about her and the atmosphere here. I have friends who routinely come to Hutch's and all I can say is I've been influenced and hope to return much more frequently! Thanks for an amazing dinner experience to celebrate my 30th!“
“Steve, our bartender was great! Wonderful selection of beers. You can't miss ordering the house wings. The bar and eating space is roomy and bathrooms are clean. The outside tables make it a super-friendly atmosphere.I haven't been there on Wing Wednesdays but it looks like I'll be there soon for $1 wings and $3 Utica Club drafts!!!“
“Small, clean and fun, this cozy venue offers excellent service at an extremely reasonable price. Modern jukebox and clean restrooms.Entertainment on some nights including outstanding karaoke on Tuesday from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m..You don't need a lot of money or talent to have a great time here!“
“How can you not LOVE a place that brings a food truck every Thursday, serves more varieties of beer than you can count, has great tenders behind the pine, AND let's you bring your dog?!?! It's my favorite spot in Kenmore, hands down.Parking: It's not a huge lot because of the outdoor deck, but Delaware and Shepard have plenty of spotsWheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking and wide doors“
“The food was delicious and worth all the hype, and price. Unfortunately the service did not match up though. The hostess was beyond rude and short with us from the moment we walked in. Our server was also not very friendly and seemed bothered.“
“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 ?“
“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.“
“Yesterday my Gigi and I found this place. We were in town for a dance competition at sheas and didn’t know the restaurants around. We started walking and by the grace of god found this amazing place! First of all the atmosphere is amazing. The staff was friendly. Our server (I wish I had gotten her name) was probably the best server I have ever had. then came the food. Oh my god! The ricotta gnocchi is literally bites of heavenly clouds in your mouth. Moral of story probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had (and I’m picky) this place will now be my favorite restaurant. I will happily travel from Fredonia to come here!“
“Omg,Me and girlfriend went for brunch this morning and William was our server William was awesome, from the way he described certain menu items, to customer service. The food was awesome. I will definitely come back and try dinner service next time “
“Important: Cash only!! Food is only at lunch. This is a neighborhood bar. An historic one, in the sense it has been continuously family owned and operated since its doors opened pre-prohibition. It is cash only and they do not have an ATM onsite but there is ATM at the 7-11 across the street. Food is only at lunch. Or you can get a bag of chips. The people, including the owners, are everything wonderful you've read about. Incredible hospitality. Seriously great people.“
“I love this place. Small menu but good food, the drink selection covers all the bases, and the service is great. Has a TV to watch the game on, a newer online dartboard, and a solid pool table. If you're friends with the Muppets, there is a full set of rock instruments that you can jam out on like Jake. If SGT BW is there, remind min his wife is better than him at darts.“
“The place is great. It is quaint and friendly with a sort of country-club atmosphere. It is usually busy, with either a short wait or none. It's great in the summer because of the nice patio, and great in the winter because it's cozy and they serve warm drinks.“
“Great meal, great service, comfy, cozy, you can wear jeans, separate bar from dining area, easy access. Clean and neat. Prettiest ladies restroom I've seen in years!Vegetarian options: Linguini.Parking: Needs repaying. Potholes abound.Kid-friendliness: As long as they are well behaved.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access except for the parking lot potholes.“
