My family and I stopped by for dinner while in the area. We were seated pretty quick for a friday night. Our waitress was fantastic. The spinich artichoke dip was great and came with a bunch of pita. The fish fry was good, was big, had a thick battered coating on it, came with a big serving fries and mac salad and coleslaw. The grilled cheese was made with texas toast and had a lot of cheese. The tater tots were lightly seasoned and tasted great.

Came in for lunch, loved the space & friendly staff. The pulled Chicken Honey Chipotle Pepper Jack sandwich was delicious. I wish I was able to check it out during their live band sessions, hopefully next time I'm in Buffalo! Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for yummy food and good vibes.

Got takeout here last week and we really enjoyed our food!! Even though we got it delivered everything was fresh and delicious. I did come here in the past for brunch and wasn’t as impressed by that food but glad I tried it again for dinner.

New favorite restaurant. They grill all buns to perfection, every single item is delicious and the service is both laid back and friendly. Will absolutely be back.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The food was incredible—I ordered the chicken finger sub, and it was perfectly crispy and delicious, with just the right balance of flavors. The service was equally outstanding. Kayla, our waitress, went above and beyond to make our meal special. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. Her excellent service really made the experience memorable. I’ll definitely be coming back!

This spot is the perfect place to meet up with friends, unwind with some great cocktails, and soak in an amazing atmosphere. It’s spacious, inviting, and has a super chill vibe that makes it easy to relax and enjoy the night. The music adds to the experience without being overwhelming, creating the ideal backdrop for conversation and good times. The whiskey sours were a standout—expertly crafted, consistently delicious, and perfectly balanced, no matter which bartender made them. It’s rare to find a place that nails a cocktail with such precision every time. Whether you’re here for the drinks, the ambiance, or just to hang with great company, this spot delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend!
