Good food and service in a casual, beer-pub type atmosphere. We've visited two or three times and the atmosphere is great.

My salad had soggy cold frozen bagged sweet potatoes and cold clumpy quinoa. Cocktails were blah. Served a mule in a glass and not copper mug. Gross all around. Our waitress was sweet though

Very unique and delicious food options here. The banh mi nachos might be my favorite appetizer ever. The chicken tenders here are amazing, especially paired the large selection of dipping sauces which are great as well. The drink selection is amazing too, with tasting boards available and multiple different size options. One of my favorite restaurants in Buffalo.

One of my favorite restaurants in the area with something for everyone. I've been here for date night with my husband, a birthday dinner with family (and baby) and have ordered carryout. Always a pleasant experience with great service. They have a wide variety of options, and the prices are reasonable. I definitely recommend the banh mi nachos!

Met a friend her for a beer and dinner. First time here for both of us, although I've been to the one in NF. Wednesday night in Lent, so a small crowd; many were employees. Long beer list, many taps and bottles, some good Belgian selections. Made me miss the Blue Monk on Elmwood. Also had a Delirium Tremens, a great brew (in a can though). Dinner was good; I had the poutine gnocchi with pot roast ($28). Huge portion; gnocchi seemed to be handmade, a bit larger than I'm used to. Friend had the normal poutine, also good. I gave it 2 stars as the service was not great. It was pretty dead in there, there were a few people in the back, but up front (we were at the bar) no one except staff eating. Service was slow for us as the staff were commiserating with the bartender; we left once a few more staff came to sit down at the bar to talk to each other and we got ignored. They were also loudly making fun of other customers who were in that day, using crude comments I won't repeat. If you're looking for a good beer selection they have it, but as for me I'll go somewhere else. I hesitated posting this as maybe I'll be the next customer to be laughed at behind my back, but I figured I should let people know my experience anyway.

Delicious dinner. While working in the area my colleagues were celebrating a birthday. We all enjoyed our dinners and they had a nice birthday dessert. I really enjoyed the bison burger special.

After waiting for almost 45 minutes (arrived at 5pm on a Saturday) for a table for 2, we were seated. The service was great. The food was really nothing special. I had the open face steak sandwich. Steak was very good but was hidden by all the arugula. The just the tips that my hubby had were good as well. However, when ya put sauce on the delish crunchy tots, it makes them soggy. The fried grill cheese was amazing!

Wide selection of beer and wine. We had pot roast sandwich but not much meat only sauce and onion rings. My friends had the waffle and salad were great. Yes we will come back but we won't order the sandwich. Service was good.

We didn’t have super crazy expectations walking in for lunch on a Sunday, it was pretty empty as expected, they seated us immediately. The menu was unique, I wish they had more variety for people who aren’t as food adventurous/ are craving the usual cheeseburger or something. We ordered their duck wings, a bacon burger, and their beef on weck. The duck wings were good but the duck meat itself could’ve been better prepared. I wanted a good bar burger for lunch but all of their options were of the unique variety to some kind of twist, so I asked to order a regular burger and they charged we extra. The beef on weck was good. Their fries were honestly the best part. The worst part was the service. Our waitress asked us if we wanted more napkins then left for 15 minutes and never brought them. She then asked us if we wanted a box and we ended up having to grab one ourselves because she never brought it.

Awesome atmosphere. Second time I’ve been here and food was just ok. Filet was pretty flavorless.

If I had an actual "best foods I have ever ate" bucket to put this food I had today in, I would! The deep fried grilled cheese with tomato bisque dip on the side was what Buffalo food is all about. My steak Mangia sandwich was seasoned so well and all the different components like goat cheese came together and made me stop and savor every bite. My friends' gorgonzola burger was amazing also according to her. The drinks were a delight. The last thing that just topped off our experience was the service from Julie, she was so adorable and such a doll to us. Upbeat and attentive and just a joy. Please give this place your business!
