“Was looking for a casual & unique brewery on a road trip. What a winner! Very attentive and friendly staff. Awesome assortment of craft beers. Best of all NO KIDS during this visit. Yes, I’m an adult who goes to breweries for an ADULT experience. Not keen to be surrounded by wee ones when trying to relax and enjoy an adult beverage. Will be back for sureParking: Limited spots near the brewery.“
“We stopped here on our way home from Canada - so glad we did! Everything was homemade - even the pickles and potato chips. The food was outstanding and service was great. Would absolutely recommend going out of your way to stop here for a bite- you will not be disappointed!“
“Excellent. The food is beautifully prepared, nicely presented, comes out at the right temperature. The wine list is more than adequate. Despite the crowding, they will be ready for you at your scheduled reservation time. The prices are reasonable. The service is ok. The Wait staff is well-versed in the subtleties of the menu. Even the bus staff are helpful beyond their job description. Due I think to the well-deserved popularity of the establishment, service can be a bit slow. The bar is magnificently stocked with hard to find bourbons at your disposal. There is real talent in that kitchen. If it wasn't for delays between certain courses, and waiting a long time for the check, 800 Maple would've earned the fifth star.“
“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.“
“We came to Buffalo from Pittsburgh for a few days and randomly picked Webster's for dinner. This place is simply a hidden gem. The food was incredible, and service... I was SO IMPRESSED by the services. It just seems lately (post covid) that people don't know what the service is anymore. Every single staff member was dressed to impress and our server Tom looked so sharp, was helpful, friendly, attentive and polite which just made this experience 10/10. I cannot recommend this place enough equally because of the food quality and selection and excellent service.“
“Mel was awesome! She went above and beyond to make it a fun date night for my wife and I. We HIGHLY recommend the ahi tuna. The Wasabi sauce is a must try with it! The homemade blue cheese is also incredible!Drinks A++. Nothing bad about this experience at all and we will be back very soon!“
“Wow! Great time at Vice! The server Liza was amazing. The service alone was worth the experience. Kind, courteous, and not to mention patient as she dealt with our large group of 4 rowdy men! The food was great. Amazing wings, very similar to bar-bill which is the best in Buffalo, but this is a close second!“
“This place is special. The service is next to none !!outstanding!! The food is extraordinary to say the least!! Period!! The cocktails are unique and their nuances are more than refreshing. Jake Strawser the owner is the real deal and honestly a pleasure to call my friend. There are now two Ian’s that will not disappoint you. Ian the exemplary Chef and Ian the wonderful Barman!!! Make your reservations now. Trust me.“
“We started our tasty journey with the Olives, featuring the Castelvetrano and Cuquillo varieties. They have just a hint of orange that makes a boring bowl of olives a standout taste experience.The Potato Latkes were up next, served with tobiko taramasalata and tarragon. The combination is absolutely incredible, striking a perfect balance between texture and flavor...perfection.For our entrees, our group had the Ravioli Dauphine and the Lamb Meatball Bomber. The ravioli, filled with tender lamb shank and drizzled with beurre blanc, accompanied by scorzonera and crispy kale, is fantastic. The Lamb Meatball Bomber is delicious with its kale, sumac onions, and garlic yogurt.However, the star of the show was undoubtedly the Braised Chicken Leg, paired with black futsu squash, lentils, sage, and endive. It's no exaggeration when I say this is the best meal I have ever had in my entire life. The depth of flavor, the perfect cook on the chicken, and the harmony of the accompaniments is simply unparalleled.We had the Vanilla Panna Cotta with lemon, honey, and toffee for dessert. I have no words that adequately capture its sheer perfection.The Little Club delivered an exceptional dining experience. If I could give them six stars, I would. Every dish was a testament to the chef's mastery over their craft. I cannot recommend The Little Club highly enough; it is an absolute must-visit for anyone who appreciates fine dining at its best.“
“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.“
“Great fast food feel for Vegan meals, I don't mean that in a bad way at all. We ordered the Philly cheesecake and chicken tenders. Both were fantastic! Will definitely be stopping in more in the future.Vegetarian options: The menu is actually fully veganDietary restrictions: They list out what's going into there product. Staff is knowledgeable and approachable if you have strict dietary concerns.Parking: Public on street parking“
“Oliver's Restaurant is easily amongst the nicest, upscale, and classy dining spots in Buffalo, NY. My first experience here was on Valentine's Day, where there I got a delicious mocktail and my boyfriend the Oliver's Manhattan! Although we were amongst the younger crowd, the staff did not make us feel less important as we were treated with the upmost respect. What made our dining experience was absolutely the restaurants layout and cleanliness! Thank you to the staff who made it a memorable experience I will always recommend.“
“So my gf and I visited Country Cottage for the first time last night as we were celebrating 30 yrs together and we heard a lot about this place and decided to try it.When we got there we did have to wait a few minutes to be seated as they were busy and the waitress wanted to sit us at a clean table- not a bad thing!I got turkey soup and than chicken and biscuit dinner and my gf got the Rubin and fries dinner.The food was absolutely fantastic!My gf said it was the best Rubin she had had and my soup and dinner was so good!Thank You Country Cottage for making our 30 yr anniversary dinner not only special but so good!“
“I alway enjoy whatever cocktail I get from Ballyhoo, and my last visit there was no different. One of the best bars in town in my opinion with very reasonably priced drinks and excellent customer service. Not a very large bar space, but definitely worth checking out. They do serve a limited food menu as well, but I have not tried any yet.“
“My husband and I brought our nieces (8, 8, and 12) in at 5:00 on a Saturday, before taking them to Shea’s. The hostess quoted 45-60 minute wait and it ended up only being 15 minutes so we were very grateful. I also love that we were contacted via text when our table was ready so we were able to take the girls back to the car for what we had assumed would be a 45 minute wait.The service was great—Mike was so good to our littles, talking directly to them and being patient, kind, and attentive. Food was great and came out super quickly. Including 2 apps, a beer, and 5 meals we were out for under $130 including a 25% tip. We were blown away with the price, especially given how expensive life has gotten. Happy to share this experience with our friends in real life and on the internet. Thanks, Big Ditch!“
“It was our monthly gathering of the TreeNuts. I ordered the mild chicken fingers and fries. Whooaaa! It was a lot of food. The food was delivered hot, fresh and it was delicious. I took a to go box and a finger for lunch and dinner and it was just as good as the first bite!So glad we chose this cute little bar and grill.The only down side was parking but there is plenty on street parking.I'll definitely be back. Thanks so much for your prompt, friendly serviceParking: Small on lot parking but there is off street parking.“
“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!“
“My son and I love 99 Brick Oven. He always gets the margarita pizza and cheesy garlic bread. I try to try some different menu items. Food is always amazing. Staff is always amazing. When they first opened I called to ask about the pizza because my son if very picky. They told me if he didn't like the pizza it would be free. He LOVED the pizza!! We love sitting outside on the patio regardless of weather.“
“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 “
“Holy. Smokes. I was craving corned beef since tomorrow is St. Pat's Day so I ordered a Reuben to go. It was ready on time, I was greeted promptly by a very nice staff member, and it was the BEST Reuben I have ever eaten. It's piled so high with meat, cheese, and sauerkraut I could barely finish it. So good!“
“Cannot say enough about how fantastic this place is, their food is so incredible that they could easily charge double and I'd still want to eat here! The venue is so well thought out and feels homey and very much like a local gem versus a chain type place, it is great. They also have an incredible wine selection, much larger than one would expect for a place of this size! Location is definitely not super large, so we would recommend making a reservation in advance. Definitely worth a visit!!!“
“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.“
“Highly recommend this restaurant! Just had the best lamb chops I’ve ever had and an overall a feast of flavors. Definitely an experience I want to come back to. Our server Matt was very attentive and perfect timing. Thank you for such a wonderful time.“
“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!“
“My current favorite place to order fish fry takeout. The beer batter is fried to a crispy perfection. The sides are hit or miss, the potato salad was not good the last time I ordered. But was still pretty happy with meal overall. Do recommend!“
“Really enjoyed the fried pickles(great batter) and cheese fries. Good American Menu. The band was WAY too loud and the sounds were very unbalanced, couldn't hear or understand anything. We had to wear ear plugs.Vegetarian options: Really good veggie wrap.“

“The food is always good. Sometimes even excellent. The ambience is perfect, and if you are lucky enough to go there, during a rainstorm, sit in the arboretum with the glass ceilings and the Koi pond. Wonderful vibrations. The Wait staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They have a full bar and depending upon who the bartender is, your drinks will be from good to very good. This place does not Disappoint.“
“Of course we picked a bandits game to visit this restaurant/bar. We were immediately greeted at the door and at that time the place was still not too busy. Tables were nice and clean, and some tunes playing in the place. Ordered a cheese pizza (cause what kid can say no to cheese pizza), bbq wings and some fries. Wings were perfectly cooked, great bbq sauce and the best part is they were nice and crispy. Fries, again good portion and cooked nice and crispy. That pizza though, must be cooked in a magic oven. Perfection. Probably one of the better pizzas I've had in a while. This place is not a well kept secret, so come early if there's an event going on.“
“My boyfriend and I can go to any restaurant when I come up to visit him, and it’s always me asking to come back here. I have never been disappointed in the food, service, or wait and have had some incredible dishes here. I will definitely be returning! Special shoutout to the club sandwhich here, the bread is god tier.“
“Swannie House, located in Buffalo, NY, is one of the city's oldest and most iconic taverns, embodying a rich tapestry of history that intertwines with the development of Buffalo itself. Established in 1886, it has served as a testament to the city's evolving social and economic landscapes, playing host to a myriad of stories from its inception to the present day.Situated at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Ohio Street, Swannie House sits in the shadow of grain elevators and the Buffalo River, placing it at a strategic point in Buffalo's historic First Ward. This neighborhood has long been associated with the city's working-class roots, particularly those working in the shipping, grain, and steel industries that once dominated the area.The tavern's inception dates back to a time when Buffalo was a booming industrial city, benefitting from its position as a critical node in the Great Lakes shipping network. The Swannie House initially served as a haven for laborers, offering refreshment and respite from the demanding physical work associated with the nearby docks and grain elevators.Over the years, Swannie House has maintained its reputation as a gathering place for locals and visitors alike, preserving its traditional ambiance while adapting to the changing dynamics of the neighborhood. Its proximity to the Buffalo River and Lake Erie has made it a favorite spot for those looking to experience the city's waterfront renaissance, which has seen significant investment in public spaces and amenities, revitalizing the area's historic charm and economic vitality.The interior of Swannie House reflects its storied past, adorned with memorabilia and photographs that chronicle the life and times of Buffalo's waterfront and its workers.

It stands as a living museum, a place where stories of the past are preserved and shared, contributing to the city's identity and sense of community. Its resilience and adaptability mirror those of Buffalo itself, making Swannie House a beloved landmark that continues to attract generations of patrons, drawn by its history, character, and the warmth of its welcome.While specific details and events can enrich the history of Swannie House, the essence of its story is a testament to the enduring bond between a city and one of its most cherished institutions.“
“Would have given a 5. My friend I dined with is vegan. Our server was great and recommended the gnocchi dish with mushrooms and broccoli, because it was vegan and flavorful, so my friend went with that. Unfortunately, It came out with cheese on it which was disappointing. So that's why I'm giving a 4. So I waited to eat until a replacement dish came out for her. Other than that, cocktails, service and ambiance were great! I enjoyed one of the specials for the evening - squash ravioli with a side of flat 12 mushrooms. I ate every bite. Also really enjoyed the chocolate black out cake, with thick, creamy whipped cream on top and a scoop of chocolate ice cream. Went for dinner on a Friday at 6 and made a reservation. Very nice experience, not too loud. I've been a few times over the years and will definitely keep coming back.“
“Went on a Tuesday before they started their open mic. They have new vegan food here and HOLY. Buffalo is severely lacking in the vegan/vegetarian food realm and this was perfect. I got a 'chicken' and waffles and it was incredible. They also had curry onion rings, which I've never seen before (not pictured) and were also bangin'.“
“Our order - Brothers fried chicken sandwich, seafood platter and our 2 kids got a kids grilled cheese meal each.Everything was well cooked (kids both commented on their sandwich not being overcooked like most places), perfect size portions, and flavored.We noticed "parties of 4+ may be charged 18% gratuity ) on the menu, other local places this usually 6+ or 8+. The 18% was added to our bill.“
“Went for my engagement dinner with my partner and was not disappointed! Firstly, we had the best server who was so friendly and accommodating as we initially started out outside, but then my partner was a little cold, so were able to move inside without any interruption to the service experience. She was the best. In terms of the food, I opted for the Pasta Bolognese, which was very yummy. Definitely wish I had some leftovers. My partner who was in a rabbit sort of mood, I suppose and got all appetizers for her dinner, including the bread basket, mussels, and clams. She seemed to really enjoy them a lot, though she mentioned she didn't care as much for the sauce base they were both in. For drinks, I opted for a Classic Cosmopolitan and she had Prosecco. I really enjoyed my Cosmo! Almost got a second one but resisted, haha. This place is definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a nicer than average dinner out with well above average deliciousness.“
“We were rather disappointed to not be able to enjoy the Greek platter due to a lack of one important part of the platter, so ordered other dishes, which were satisfactory, though not what we wanted to celebrate a birthday with. The French onion soup ís delicious!“
“Hosted a party for 40 people in their back room and they were so lovely and easy to coordinate with! Tony was amazing in the booking process and worked with us to create a delicious vegetarian menu and our bartender Edie was amazing. Highly recommend for a private party (max 50ish people probably).“
“My wife and I will stop here before we go to Flying Bison. The bartender is always super friendly and attentive. The food is always good here too. Prices are easy on the wallet too we always have a couple of beers and dinner for about 40bucks. Can’t beat this place! Chicken wings, burgers and fish fry’s are all awesome!!!“
“It's a nice family restaurant! We went on a Thursday night and it was a little busy but nothing crazy. We did wait a while for our order but it was for a a large group of people. My minor complaints are the waitress never came back to our table to check on us after dropping our food off (everyone has always come back at least once). My husband even had to chase her down for the check. And my friend didn't finish his burger bc it was ordered well-done but it was more like medium well. Prices are fair for down home cooking though! Great selection of cocktails.“
“My favorite bar/restaurant in all of Buffalo, for a well-rounded night! I'm surprised it's not a common recommendation on wing lists as their wings, especially the weck wings, are 10/10. I'd recommend going Wednesday-Saturday so you can also get the Candyman pizzas (any of them, candyman style!), and sitting on the Candyman side for craft cocktails or Caputis side for a great beer menu. The section between Caputi's and Candyman has a pool table, dart boards, and a couple pinball machines so it really is the perfect spot for friends, dates, or even just to go by yourself and mingle with the staff and regulars.“
“What a great dinner I just shared with a friend! The whole idea of this restaurant is based on Anthony Bourdain's quote about sharing food with friends. And share we did! We split the oysters, parmesan truffle fries, the Tuscan flatbread, and the impossible sliders. We also each got a glass of wine. (No sharing that lol) The food was delicious, and the wine was fantastic, the service was best of all! We got lots of recommendations and suggestions, and we were well taken care of. I was delighted to see that almost everything was able to be gluten free! I had a lot of tasty options to choose from. Overall, we had a great time, and I plan to go back with my fiancé. The experience we shared would have been great for a date.“
