Duff's Famous Wings

Less than 2 miles from Buffalo (BUF) Airport. Barbecue doesn't describe it best, but I couldn't find chicken in the type cuisine. I'ts there at 550 Dick Rd, Depew. I was there. Best chicken wings, ever.

Been here quite a few times over the past few months. They’ve improved this location by replacing the tables and repairing the booths so it’s much better. Servers are very personable and efficient and the wings and fries are amazing. Plenty of other yummy options for non wing lovers. We always enjoy our return visits.

Cracker Barrel

Reviewed By Vera D

First time visiting Cracker Barrel, and we loved it! Loved the old country atmosphere, service was friendly and fast and the food was great! Ordered the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes, fried okra and green beans. Loved everything and the corn muffins YUM. Spent more time at the store then we intended to but they had so much to look it and such neat things. Great place to stop, eat, shop. We will return!

My family went there for dinner this week and had another great meal. For the first time, I had the eggplant Parmesan, which was undoubtedly the best eggplant Parm I've ever had! One of my kids had the pork chops, which are always top notch, and my other son had the Angus burger. The chef was even able to prepare a dairy-free chicken dinner for my wife, who is allergic to dairy.A shout-out to Sandy our waitress, who did an excellent job!!

We were here for a birthday celebration and had a private room. The appetizers were set up and drinks served by very attentive staff. Salvatore himself oversaw our party for most of the evening and even prepared my wife and her mothers food himself. The whole of the hotel, bars and rooms are beautifully designed and appointed with the bar having a very welcoming atmosphere We would defiantly come here again. Our food was piping hot and the steaks were cooked to perfection Overall a great experience

The Poked Yolk

Reviewed By Jeannine P

Shopping at a nearby retailer in West Seneca, it was suggested that the Polked Yolk was a good place for breakfast. My friend and I did as suggested and weren't disappointed. This is not a large restaurant but more like a quaint cafe type place. We were able to get a table though. Our server was very nice and returned to fill up coffee cups as needed. I enjoyed a 3 little pigs omelet (sausage,bacon and ham) with home fries. The potatoes could have been a bit hotter for my liking but the meal was very nice. They serve homemade jelly that was good also. The atmosphere was very friendly and everyone seemed to enjoy their various interesting appearing meals. This is not an inexpensive place to eat but I have no complaint. You get what you pay for.

Reviewed By flyer303_12

We met with friends out for lunch on the patio at Frank's Grille. We tried the featured specials: shrimp tacos and grilled pineapple chicken sandwich. Everything was very tasty. Portions were big so we brought two tacos home. The service was quick and friendly. We had a beautiful day, and we thought the patio was great. We'll be back in the fall to try the indoor tables.

Olive Tree

Reviewed By chris45ny

This restaurant is owned and run by a friend of my husband and his friend George. We've met here for many dinners but this review is a first. Located on Broadway in Lancaster. Huge parking lot. Menu has a large variety of items to suit everyone's tastes. We had arranged to meet our friends George and Dimitra but arrived early on Friday, February 2, 2018 around 7:00 PM. Instead of waiting Nick wanted to seat us and led us to a very roomy booth. He would let our friends know where we were. Our server was very pleasant and efficient. Shortly our friends arrived with their 10 year old granddaughter. Even with the 5 of us there was plenty of room in this corner booth. Dimitra and I ordered the small portion battered fish fry and George ordered the full size battered fish fry. These came with cole slaw, potato salad, macaroni salad and fries. My husband got the fish fry but had it broiled and opted for home fries and cole slaw only. Rose got a cheeseburger with fries and was the only one who had dessert. A decadent slice of chocolate cake!I must say I was totally surprised at how large the "small" portion fish fry was. The fish was lightly battered and didn't over power the great taste of the perfectly cooked haddock. The fries, potato salad, macaroni salad were very good but I loved the cole slaw. My husband said his fish was cooked perfectly and he loved his home fries and cole slaw too. Rose also gave thumbs up to her selections. Everyone was very happy with their selections.It is always nice to come here and be so warmly welcomed. Nick pulled up a chair and caught up with the guys while us girls found plenty to talk about too. Two plus hours flew by!Have never had a disappointing meal here and will certainly be back. Great food, great service, reasonable prices!

Reviewed By leiam415

On a roadtrip, this had great reviews so we got off the turnpike(also avoided some traffic). Quick weekday lunch-steak salad & our steak, meatball sandwiches were great. Eldest child loved the homemade dressings. Youngest had pizza which was just ok- I would suggest ordering something else; really wanted to try the wings. Full barThank you for the 5-Stars and kind words. I am glad you enjoyed. John bakes the bread every day! Salads are my favorite. Sounds like you are from out of town...Hopefully we will get to see you again. Best Regards, Laurie.

99 Brick Oven Bar & Grille

Reviewed By Pauline52W

For years, this location would change owners every few years. The current owners put together the right formula. Various neighbors had said it’s their favorite local spot. Went there with relatives visiting from Florida. They are use to extremely FRESH fish. They completely enjoyed their fish dinner here. I had the pork schnitzel dinner. It was excellent. And, I’m a very difficult to please eater. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars - the bar has no barrier between it and the dining area. The music was very loud and we had to almost shout to hear each other. Too hot to eat in their outdoor patio dining area. Maybe next time.
