We love going to this place. The service here is beyond good. We love all the waiters and waitresses here. Their food is cooked to perfection, which is usually enough, but their service keeps us coming back. Danielle is our favorite waitress and she makes us feel welcome and she always makes sure my Mom who has trouble walking has a seat with close access to the bathroom. Having said that, Erica, one of our other favorite waitresses, always stops over to say hi every time we visit even if she's not our server. This shows the quality of their service towards their customers. It's tough to find a place that makes you feel this much like family when you visit. My wife says that their cocktail list is second to none and has loved everything she's tried. For me, the ribeye is one of the best I've had in Buffalo, which says a lot, since I eat a carnivore diet.

We ordered From Bobby J’s through Door Dash for the first time and it will definitely not be the last. Everything was absolutely delicious. Arancini probably the best I’ve ever had and I’ve been to Italy. The eggplant stack was perfection. Veal Parm was tender and huge portion. The sauce tastes very authentic. Lemon Marscapone Cake topped off a perfect meal. 👌🏻 Bravo Bobby J’s!!!

Wanted to get a meal to go as I was on the run and going to visit a patient I asked for their famous hot peppers and arancini. I asked how long it would be after they charge me $31. They told me it would be five minutes. That frightened me as how could good food Take five minutes, but he was correct. It came out in five minutes. I couldn't tell if the peppers were deep-fried or put in oil, but they were so greasy, and they were covered in the bottom of the to go container in a soup of oil. After I had a half of one, I couldn't eat anything else in my order. I will know in the future that anything that takes five minutes to get ready will not be good. Very disappointed !

We went here for dinner and a show. The food was great. We had a limited menu for the show dinner. The portions were very large. I got the veal Parmesan and it was served with 2 large pieces of veal. She got the eggplant Parmesan and it was also a very large portion. It would have been nice to have a choice for dessert and maybe at least one meal choice that was more basic. Recommended to others. Likely a one time event for me.

I had the GF ravioli & it was perfect, their spaghetti sauce is outstanding & I was lucky to have a Mom who had homemade sauce every Sunday. Although nobody can duplicate Mom’s homemade spaghetti sauce this seriously is equally as good 👍 My husband had the tortellini which was also excellent.

We decided on Bobby Js for our anniversary. Even though we did not make reservations, and the restaurant was packed, we were able to be seated right away. (Note..next time we'll reserve to make sure we can get seated) The waitress, Erica? was lovely. We had amazing stuffed mushrooms and great stuffed peppers. Our dinners were very good as well, but we were pretty full halfway through. Now we have leftovers. Definitely will be returning.
