“The DJ music can be a bit too loud but the bands are always fun to see. The bartenders are great, if you're not sure what kind of drink you like or may want they can help you figure it out. The raspberry bbq or the strawberry bbq wings/fingers are incredibly good. Get the mac-n-cheese bites, the mini taco nachos, loaded tater tots or any of their other pub grub and you're set for excellence ??.“
“Canal Club is amazing every time I go! This is a wonderful example of what a well run, locally owned business looks like. When you're here, they treat you like family. The food is amazing, and the chef is so friendly. They keep the menu fresh and are always trying different specials which keeps me coming back over and over again. I love the outdoor patio during the summer and the ambiance inside during the colder months. Canal Club should definitely be put on your "must visit" list for locally owned favorites.“
“Delicious, innovative food that I haven’t seen anywhere else! Stuffed to the brim after eating here!Dietary restrictions: I am Celiac and am fairly selective about where I choose to eat. Servers were knowledgeable about cross contamination concerns and all meals that could be made gluten free were clearly listed on the menu (as well as vegetarian and vegan)“
“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.“
“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.“
“*EDIT 3/5/24*Been a few more time since my recent review and the wings have been absolute ? lately. The last 5 times I've been were right on par with some of the best wings around town. Sauces are spot on, big fan of the hot-cajun and bbq-cajun. Service has been exceptional as well. Boosting up to a 5 star now since the last 5+ times I've been have all been perfectBeen to this place twice now since Ive been told best wings in WNY. My first time was a major letdown, I did the Double Dip with Cajun and Honey Mustard, the wings were so overcooked that all I tasted was other leftover food from the char marks. I wanted to give them another try because I always feel like these types of bars have mediocre food during the days and then they step up at night when the rush comes in so I went in again on a wknd night and ordered the Cajun-Medium Double Dipped. Once again, I ran into 3-4 of the wings extremely overcooked but the other ones were 100% spot-on, flavor was killer and the chicken was on point. Only if I could get a full order of decently cooked wings then my review would be higher. Also docking a bit of a point because I was told their top shelf whiskey was Seagrams 7... I mean, I get its a local bar but really?Positives were that the bartenders were all super friendly and were flying around the bar. There was a large wait for bigger groups to get tables but that is expected on a Friday night in a smaller location like this. Parking lot was a zoo with people trying to find spots. Ample televisions on to watch the game and overall seems like a fun local spot.All in all, Id recommend stopping in if you are in the area. Its a good group of people but the Wings just haven't left their mark on me (yet). Im hoping that changes though.Overall 3.5/5“
“I had a pot roast sandwich and a big thing of fries. It was sensational, and the service was great! The friend I was with had traditional beef on whack, which he loved. I really enjoyed this place and the next time I am Buffalo, I will seek it out again.“
“There were 10 of us tonight 7 who have never been here and they all loved it and said this should be our new hang out! Our server was absolutely fantastic, and it was very busy and She never had a attitude and had a smile on her face at all times!! I’m sorry I forgot her name! Marybeth will know who I’m talking about!! Thank you for giving us a nice night out!“
“Missed out on the kitchen but stayed to enjoy a couple brews. The bartender was attentive and made sure my beer selections were in alignment with my preferences. I like to start with a light blonde, enjoy the taste of a nice red, and end with a thick & sweet stout or lager.“
“This Bar is far out the best bars around with friendly staff and awesome food. I just received my whole rack of ribs and a bag of beef jerky that Dom one of the owners smoked for me. This was the best Ribs and Beef Jerky I have ever had. I definable recommend this place for some cocktails and a good time.“
“Came here for the dive bar vibe to watch the hockey game last night and it did not disappoint (unlike the Sabres). Always such a fun place to chill, or play a few bar games if you're into that. Ordered the Rhody sandwich which was fantastic. The two bartenders were very attentive and offered great service. Will totally be back for the cheeseburger quesadilla- I need to try it!“
“The food here is tremendous (wings are on par with Bar-Bill and they have a great fish fry), but one word of caution - do not expect to be able to order meat on Friday’s during Lent. Long time regulars are probably well aware of this policy but we were caught a bit off guard. Given that they were absolutely packed with people ordering the fish fry, it makes a lot of sense, just something to be aware of.“
“First time ordering deliveryWoW ..I need hot food :I'm recovering from chemotherapy.Lost my taste buds .WELL ; food came ?.Beef on wick .They throw in chips and a cold foil rapped pickle.I ordered stuffed peppers .Tasted like Hungarian mild banana peppers with 3 cheeses.Nice hot tang .Excellent charge for delivery: on time and notifications of everything one step ahead .Thank you !Can't wait to try my next delivery.“
“Had a late afternoon to kill, went in for a burger. Decor is as others described, but the TVs were a bit noisy with MTV blaring a bunch of 90s to 00s alt rock, pop and lots of hip-hop + r&b. It was incongruous, a little grating, and seemed weirdly at odds with the clientele.Clarissa (IIRC) was delightful, and helped me pick the right beer for my mood (Sam Smith's Nut Brown Ale). Was profoundly disappointed to learn they had no kind of fries or hashbrowns available at all, thanks to the postage stamp-sized kitchen having only a grill. The chips would have to do, but at least the Independence burger was excellent.If all you're out for is atmosphere and a beer, this is a quaint, appealing spot, and if you get peckish, the food is quite tasty. (Though a hot plate to make some hash browns or scrambled eggs would add another star here. )“
“Valerie developed her own beer batter, and they have $2 off the fish fry during Friday happy hour this time of year!Also, the dance nights are some of the best I've found. But whatever you're into, Hot Mama's probably has a night for it, karaoke, trivia, pool, sports, etc. Those are just my favorites.“
“Located in a strip plaza off Millersport Highway, Elmo's has been a reliable spot for lunch or dinner for at least 40 years that I can remember. They are as good today as they were in the 1980's, they remained open during Covid, and the quality has remained solid. Whereas chicken wings at most other establishments have been getting smaller in recent years, Elmo's continues to serve large, plump wings cooked exactly as you like them. In my case, I like them extra crispy with medium sauce. Their chili as they prepare and serve it is mild, but they will bring hot sauce to your table so you can make it as aggressive as you'd like. Their burgers are a decent size, they cook it exactly as you order it, and they are generous with the lettuce tomatoes and onions. For a dollar upgrade you can get onion rings instead of fries on the side and the onion rings are quite good. They don't have a huge selection of beers, but the beer they do carry is served, icy cold, in appropriate glasses, and their inventory turns over quickly, so you know you're getting fresh product. The bartenders mix a decent drink, not overflowing with ice. The restrooms are more than adequate. They have a dartboard for the patrons to use and very attentive waitresses and bus staff. They charge slightly less if you pay in cash. I have never been disappointed at Elmo's.“
“One of the best Rueben's I have ever had! My wife got a salad and it was great as well. Both portions were very good and reasonably priced for the size and quality. Our waitress was fantastic, very attentive and fast. The overall feel was very rustic and welcoming.“
“St. Patrick's Day weekend...great band (The Rig), bartenders at outdoor bar were so friendly. 10 of us get a table at the last minute in a packed bar. Food was so good. Everything came out hot and fresh. Irish Onion soup is a must! Loved our whole experience!“
“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.“
“We love The Pub! The atmosphere, drinks, and food are wonderful. We enjoy the wood and stone design inside, and high ceilings. The seafood risotto, fish fry, and buffalo chicken salad, get two thumbs up! Excellent! We are excited to try more dishes from their menu!“
