10. Bonefish Grill
Overall Ratings
4 based on 171 reviews
Reviewed By Phillip S
The name of this restaurant says it all. If you go there for a hamburger, you might be disappointed. They are all about fish and itâs preparation. We went there with friends and as the different selections arrived, every one seemed pleased with the quality and taste of the food. Having frequented the Bonefish Grill in Las Vegas where we lived for 14 years, it was great to see that taste and quality remained consistent for this chain here in Buffalo. Their Bang Bang Shrimp seems to be a favorite but you will not be disappointed with their other fish selections.

Only in wegmans can you grocery shop with live music playing in the open cafe. Other supermarkets should take lessons from wegmans. They kniw what a supermarket shoukd be like. I wish one was in my town. The floral department is better than a lical florist. Market fresh items. It us an experience.

I liked the ambiance; it was cozy, clean and pleasant. The food was excellent. They had a little of everything on the buffet. Everyone was amicable, professional and pleasant. I was sitting close by to a fountain that made the whole ambiance more relaxing and nice to be in. I will visit this place a lot more often.

We visited Santora's while staying at a hotel down the street. The restaurant has a large bar and lots of TVs. We sat in the dining area in a booth. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Our pizza was very hot and good. The Caesar salad was fresh, crisp and good. We enjoyed our visit and would return.

Stopped here with friends before a show. I had pan seared Salmon which was GREAT! Friends had Acadia Fish & Chips which looked twrrific. They said it was good. We started with stuffed banana peppers, good but needed 1 more to the serving.Service was outstanding. The noise from the packed bar area was hardly noticeable. I've heard the wood fired pizza is good so we'll haveto go back.

Wonderful spot for breakfast or brunch!The atmosphere is welcoming and homey. Right away you feel comfortable.The food is excellent. The side of fruit was so flavorful and fresh, you could definitely tell it was just cut today! I know it is a crepe place but I really wanted pancakes. I was amazed! So thin, light and airy! I would order them again! My husband ordered the corn beef hash breakfast. He really enjoyed that it was freshly prepared, not the canned variety.We would encourage you to stop at this restaurant!!

3. Duffs
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By 630Elm
Duffs is essentially the birthplace of Buffalo chicken wings (yes, I know thereâs a silent debate between Anchor Bar and Duffs). We stopped into the original Duffs to see how the magic started and were not disappointed. Our order included Mild, Medium Light, Medium, and Medium Hot, each more delicious then the last. We rounded out the table with fries and gravy, washed it down with Root Beer and Yuengling. This is a must stop if you are in the greater Buffalo area.
2. Ted's Hot Dogs
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By 2014SamD
Charcoal grilling meat is second to none. Ted's does not disappoint. The food is very good and the service relatively fast, although it seems there are always lines. Prices are a bit high comparing this to a regular hot dog place, but worth it. Only condiment not worth adding is the chili.
