You need a lot of time to enjoy this very high tech museum. We tried to stop by on a travel day and it really deserves hours/full day of time. A great deal of recorded videos to watch and enjoy, but we just didn’t have the time. Favorites were the Joan Rivers exhibit & Rolodex cards from Johnny Carson.

What a treasure trove of comedy history! There are so many interactive areas. You get a wristband and tailor your interests. From old favorites to new comedy. Plan on spending all day there! Thank goodness we didn't get the Lucy museum tickets, saved it for another trip. Parking just across the way. Less than 2 minutes to the entrance. One area for improvement is gift shop, which could be better. Need more selection.

We came here in a Saturday afternoon after visiting the Lucy/Desi museum. We bought tickets online the night before and we purchased the combo ticket for both the museum and the comedy center. I think it was $43/person for both. I only got one picture. We you check in they give you a wristband and then you can register it with your preferences. There are a lot of interactive exhibits. There is a main floor and then two lower levels you can get to via an elevator. We walked from the hotel but there was plenty of street parking nearby and I am fairly certain that I saw a parking lot across the street. The ticket staff member was friendly. I think we were here for about 2 hours. We had fun and enjoyed the visit.

Went in expecting to spend an hour or two here. But the exhibits are so engaging and interactive experiences are so much fun. I've been a comedy fan since I was a kid and loved seeing the museum. Of course I wish there was some representation from other comics but it's hard to give everyone their credit. The center is certainly dedicated to the art form as a whole and not any one particular artist. Definitely worth the visit.

Pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this museum. Lots of interactive exhibits. You could easily spend 3+ hrs here.

Phenomenal museum! Truly one of the most interactive museums I've visited, and definitely full of laughs. I loved everything from the amazing collection of props and awards to the trivia quizzes to the faux comedy clubs where everyone checks in and they analyze your sense of humor to pull up clips. My friends and I had a terrific time.

The comedy center blew us away! We thought we'd just check it out... casually breeze through and be done in an hour or two. We really underestimated how engaging it would be. We were so absorbed, the staff had to gently alert us 4 hours after arriving that we were there past closing time. We had only seen half of it so we went back the next day at no extra charge for the 2nd half. It's a great mix of history (think Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, Carl Reiner, Lenny Bruce and Johnny Carson) and today's stars (Kevin Hart, Trevor Noah, Amy Poehler, Whitney Cummings, etc). SNL, late night, roasts and favorite shows like Seinfeld and Veep all have a place in this amazing tribute to the comedic art form. There are several theaters to watch clips and highlights, and by creating a profile, you can get comedic clips customized to your preferences!Highly recommend!

In town for an adult 35 and over hockey tournament. The main rank is very nice. The r. Auxiliary rank is not at the same standard. The lighting on that side is not ideal. It's a little, especially when compared to the main rink. The locker rooms for the most part were good. One had a sloping issue so water from the shower can come into the locker room #8. They do have a refreshment area and behind it is a bar area. Prices there were reasonable and they did have a TV with sporting events on. There is a track that rings around the main rink if you're looking for some exercise.

We went ice skating there for the day. About $10 for the skating for 2.5 hrs with skate rental. They have a nice variety of snacks and drinks at the snack bar and a bar for the adults. You can stay warm in the lounge and watch the rink also. A good cheap way for some family fun.

Great, friendly, professional staff. The venue is always very clean. Nice to have a place where you can walk, especially for elderly people during the hot and humid summer months. Skating rink is well maintained. Great place to take the family or to walk and/or skate for exercise. I highly recommend this place. A+++++

Lucy Fest 2025! If you like comedy this is a must see location! The National Comedy Center at the birthplace of Lucille Ball. Priceless!!

Very nice arena. I have ice skated, attended hockey games, a wedding show, John Mulaney in concert and even had my high school graduation here. Very well maintained. Good prices for everything.

Had another ESA event for children with special needs!! Little man got a special Cape for an award! Staff was so nice to let us have the event there. Very clean and made sure the social distance 👌 was just right!!

Val is really good . I had a couple of questions she answered him right away

We were in town for a hockey tournament and this was across the street from the rink. They had karaoke one night and a band the second. The space is large and suitable for what it is. There was some dancing etc. The main bar was busy both nights (upper), so we found it to be quicker at the lower bar (to get service). At night they do keep it dark. It is more of a club than a restaurant. We did get some late night food. The pizza is small and seem to be on a garlic crust. The wings (Cajun) were above average. Given the other options in the area (Especially late night), this was a solid choice.

Our son had a Track meet in Falconer. We stopped in for a bite to eat. Our server Debra was friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu and any questions we had. I ordered the chicken wings pan fried with the long island sauce. Oh my, they were so good. My husband had the fish fry. We would definitely come back.

Went with another couple it was packed we got right in and where servered in a very short time .. Food was AWESOME. ,,,Had the bone in pork chop with bacon jam and Real mashed potatoes.. So good. We also had the fish fry which was picture perfect and was cooked perfect. . Great friendly staff and a real value for the money. Which I thought was very reasonable for the quality of food .. Hugh servings..

They were busy but service was timely and food was delicious. No live music for a Friday but it was a nice atmosphere. Portions are sizable and prices reasonable. Will go again!

Had a great experience at Shawbucks in Jamestown! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the food was delicious at very reasonable prices. A big shoutout to Natalia—she was an outstanding server! Friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right throughout the meal. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Shawbucks is a great spot to grab a bite and enjoy good service.

We were quickly seated and enjoyed our food very much. I had the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and my husband had a pasta dish that I don't remember the name of. We left feeling comfortably full. Good service and good food equals 5 stars!

I had the seafood pasta as a special treat and it was amazing. We went in around 9pm while there were only a few people since it's after usual dinner and before the night life aspect gets busy so it was very quiet.

Awful. Boring tasteless pastry, bread was a dry pitiful excuse. I've eaten better things my 6 year old make from a mix!!! There has to be a decent bakery in Jamestown....right/help?

A place to get all your baked goods. I picked up rolls for a bbq we were having. Go in a week before for large orders, prepay, and tell them what time you need them by. The day of, walking in pickup, and leave in minutes, get a treat for the ride home.

Honest can not find a negative! The deli is awesome. Where else can you get Breakfast till 1:45 in the afternoon!

I had never heard of 'korv' before, but had it as a burger with the Lingonberry and it was excellent. They had a really nice selection of pies and pastries as well. It has certainly earned a sold position on the 'must stop' places whenever we're in the greater Busti (Jamestown) area!

Great little bakery with pastries, sandwiches, French toast, etc. Service is great and the food is delicious. We got French toast, a sandwich, and Almond Sweet Braid 😋

The donuts and pastries here are AMAZING! We live out of state, but every time we are visiting Western New York, we stop by here. Their apple fritters are second-to-none and their seasonal paczki donuts are worth a weekend trip or paying g postage for an overnight shippment. If you ever have the opportunity to get there right at opening time (6AM), enjoying their donuts while they are still hot takes an already fantastic experience to a whole other level!

Never had anything that wasn’t great, one of my favorite places.

A great fast food place if ur looking for cheap and higher quality then most other options. They have a bit of a diner feel. They have t changed anything since the late 90s early 2000s. Adds to the flavor of the restaurant open cooking operation you can see everything as they do it.

Food is pretty good for the food they make here. If you ever wanted a hot dog, this is the place to go. Speed and service is very important and they perfect it well at AJ Texas Hots. Done quite a few doordashes here in the past and they were always super nice.

I have been a long time customer and loved their food but went there last night and they changed the French fries and I hate them. Now will not go back. Lost a good customer.

Still number one in my book. My diet has changed lately where I don't eat much. I still was able to order 2 burgers with sauce, and fries with sauce. I ate one burger there, took the other burger and fries with me . I ate the 2nd burger on the way home. It was my birthday and I was allowed to pick any restaurant. I chose AJ's.

This is what coming home is all about. Amazing how when this smell comes from this as the source, it is gourmet, but the same smell from anything else is uncivilized. I’ve got at least one more lunch during this visit. AMAZING!!!! **UPDATE** Made it two out of the three lunches while in WNY.

I ate these great hotdogs 40 years ago when I lived here! Now I eat them often now that I moved back to this area!

Worse burgers I've ever saw. Had to return it. Didn't want sauce. It looked like they ran over it. Nasty look, couldn't even try to eat it. Wasn't a cheese burger at all and. Top of that it's not a burger it's toddler or 6 yr is old to eat, oh sorry. Wouldn't force it on you but still bad.I order everything on a cheese burger not once did they say they didnt carry. Toppers. Returned just 2 cheese burgers that clearly wasn't. Whent to Arby's and they had a great cheese burger with everything.

I was quite pleasantly surprised by their menu. There are so many things on there the font had to be smaller. I’m not complaining, lots of choices I was impressed. The food is authentic Mexican. If you’re looking for super spicy that would be new Mexican. They did have a chili habanero sauce at the table if you wanted to add more spice and it was fresh. While placing my order for the nacho supreme I noticed it had guacamole and I expressed that I was very happy about that to the waitress. When my food came out it didn’t have any guacamole and I asked the waitress. She told me they didn’t have any guacamole. I wish I was told that when I was expressing joy up upon placing my order. Serving sizes were reasonable. My husband ordered the chimichanga which was very good. The interior of the restaurant was clean, it looked recently remodeled, it had simple yet festive decorations, unfortunately there was no paper towel to dry your hands in either the women’s or the men’s restrooms. When checking out, I was astonished to see the tablet offer three tip options 8% 10% or 15% there was no option to leave a custom tip but even more surprised that there was an 8% and a 10% option. Would I eat here again? Yes I would. The service was quick, the food was tasty, the waitress was kind, and the place is clean.

Soda was flat, so that was my first impression. Salsa is great! Our meals were good too. Can't go wrong with a chimichanga or burrito special. Delicious! But this waitress had not even an ounce of friendliness. Not a smile on her face. In my opinion, I'd at least appreciate it if it's faked. Not being treated like a burden to be even in the restaurant.

While staying at the La Quinta hotel in Jamestown, I was looking for some quick takeout. The food was fresh and tasty, and my order was quickly filled. Their fresh salsa was great, and the meal was a great value. The dining area was very basic, but I would definitely do take out again.

Authentic Mexican food! Just too many choices on the menu with very small print. Very friendly staff. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

Sign on door states credit cards accepted. They were not. Food tasted OK but mine was definitely not hot (temperature). Mrs seemed good.

BUYER BEWARE: THE FOOD IS SO GOOD! But the menu is deceiving. Make sure you ask what they have as far as the fiesta sampler goes. They will give you double of something because of missing items and then get pissed off when you bring it up. I ordered a new item. That was pretty straightforward meat rice beans that’s it. They wrap the meat in a burrito and drenched it with cheese. When I took it back to have them change, mind you this is my second day eating there, I had to argue with Lady about what was not Listed on the menu. She then proceeded to tell me it was a different menu and got an attitude when I told her my friend couldn’t have cheese. I got the dinner sampler they didn’t have tamales, chili rellanos or chalupa. She said she would give me extra of something and did not. I’m not sure if this restaurant is really a restaurant or something else that I don’t want to mention on a Google review. Like I said, the food is good but just order something very simple and check your food before you leave. And also check your receipt.

The bad: Very greasy beef and their exhaust fan is literally dripping grease down the wall and sidewalk. No Frank's red hot. Flat soda. The good: Great yellow rice. Great salsa and chips. Great fajitas. Great jalapeno poppers, just skip the sauce and dip in the salsa. Very nice waitress.

Love this spot! So many tasty beers to choose from and their food is bomb! Be sure to stop in on Wednesdays for their smoked wings deal! Great people work there the owner supports other local small businesses. They have trivia nights, karakoe and live music to check out. And jot to mention, FREE to play OG Mrs. Packman and Packman!

Make sure to check this place out if you are in town checking out the national comedy center. The sliders are fantastic and make sure to get the Tator tots and meat charcuterie! The meats are cured in house and they give you a wide variety!

If we lived closer, this would be our regular date night spot. An excellent selection of beers but I don't drink so I'm here just raving about the food. Sometimes with an eclectic menu like this one, you worry about the quality of each offering, but every dish from the totchos to the tacos exceeded expectations. Fantastic.

Food is amazing! Staff are all super cool, and very hospitable to all the bands that play. The stage area is very well put together and the sound is top notch. Definitely a place I'll make sure to hit every time I'm in Jamestown.

Better than I expected. I'm not a big beer drinker but they have so many different options. I actually found one that I liked. The bartenders know there stuff and are very helpful. Got to have a HUGE pretzel which was delicious and they offer vegetarian food options. All in all great experience and you should check it out.

Amazing addition to Downtown Jamestown. The Beer Snob's selection, along with smartphone app integration is wonderful and vast. Atmosphere has that rustic, yet modern feel. Not too noisy, but not quiet either to make it feel empty. Good seating for now, but I hope they expand as time goes. It's getting popular quick. Staff is very nice and quick, and the bar food is good too. Will be going back to try more beer!

Great places! Huge list of drafts (bartender gave us the tip that it is easier to pull up their website on your phone and pick your beer). I think the taps rotate frequently but when we were there it was a lot of sours, ciders, and fruit beers. But at least one of any kind - I’m a wheat beer fan and enjoyed one. Also has a cooler of cans you can select from. We had the duck tacos - which we didn’t order but the bartender gave us because she accidentally ordered and didn’t want to waste them - and they were great! Menu looks really good with pretzel appetizers and a variety of sliders and sandwiches - even some salads. Will be back for sure!

This is a very clean, elegant, inviting establishment. The staff was friendly and our waitress, Paige was on the ball. We had no complaints at all. Absolutely delicious! We had a wedge salad with blue cheese, bacon pieces and Caesar salad and both were great. For our main dinner dishes we had chicken Florentine and it was cooked to perfection! The chicken was lightly breaded and the sauce was delicious as well. My husband had a strip steak and garlic mashed potatoes. He had his steak cooked medium and he said it was done perfectly also. We had dinner here for our 22nd anniversary and we're so pleased that it was delicious! We will definitely be back!

This place exceeded our expectations! Our waitress (Paige) was one of the best and they are so lucky to have her! She was exceptional. The food was cooked to perfection and we sat out on the patio which was beautiful. We will definitely be back.

Celebrated my graduate degree at this wonderful establishment, staff were very accommodating and kind congratulating me for the achievement!! Food was fantastic, I will say my cousin ordered a salmon meal that came a little undercooked, but our waitress was quick to replace the meal and get him a Beef Wellington instead, which both my dad and cousin could not stop talking about 😂! The atmosphere is elegant yet cozy, and lends to the culture of Jamestown and WNY. My little cousin didn't like his shrimp and salmon dish, despite having cleared his plate and licking his fingers 🤣🤣 (we think he loved it)!! Absolutely recommend, and if my family is in town again, we'll definitely stop by for round 2!

Landmark is a very nice date night destination. Different seating areas allow a choice of bar, patio, or a beautiful dining room. We were seated immediately, even without a reservation, but were there during non-peak dining hours. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The meal was absolutely delicious from appetizer to dessert and the restaurant offers a nice wine selection. The prices are worth the fine dining experience.

Lovely restaurant for special occasions. We've enjoyed our night here and the food was overall very good. I took one star away because both of our steaks were slightly undercooked and we didn't quite enjoy one of our desserts - the pecan ball. I can definitely recommend the warm butter cake though! All in all we had a good time here and we would like to come back to try more of their menu items.

Allie was fantastic! My husband and I went for our 25th Wedding Anniversary.The food was very delicious! Allie surprised us with a piece of cake to celebrate our Anniversary. We will be back again for sure!!

Sea bass was undercooked. Thick part of fish was clear color due to undercook. It should tear off easily when cooked properly but mine wasn’t. Asparagus were over cooked. Feels like biting strings instead crunchy vegetables. But steamed mussels were really good. Very good combination of wine and butter sauce.

Great experience if you have the chance to go. It brought back my childhood. There was so much history there. You were able to tough items that other famous actors have touched, like the Studio A door that many famouse actors have passed through and there is a sign that tells you who the actors were.

So much to see! The first part of the museum tells the stories of Lucy and Desi as real people. Their family backgrounds, how they met, how their careers evolved. The second part focuses on their I Love Lucy lives. You learn about technical innovations and Desilu Productions. All done really well. You should allow at least 2.5 hours and maybe a little longer to view everything. One of my favorite things was the reproduction of the living room and kitchen set.

We visited the museum on a Saturday in September. We bought tickets online the night before. You can buy a combo pass for this and the comedy center. We did that and I think it was $43/person for both. I had to select a time online and we arrived before that and did not have to wait. The museum is well done. There is a lot to see and a lot of information about Lucy’s childhood and history, Desi’s childhood and history and their relationship and achievements as a couple. We learned a lot. There is a photo opportunity inside at one of the sets. That was $10 and there is a photographer there to take the photo for you. We don’t do that but saw others doing it. The tour is in two separate buildings but they are close together. Once you go through the one, you just go out on the sidewalk and walk a few steps to the next building. There were no stairs involved. The staff member at check in was friendly. I think we spent about 2 hours here. There is a gift shop in both buildings. We had an enjoyable time.

This has been on our list of places to see for a few years now. My wife and I are both fans of Lucy, and thought a stop on our way to see friends in Buffalo was just the right time, and we are so glad we did. Rememinising about the old "I Love Lucy Show", and learning things about how it came to be and behind the scenes stuff was so much fun. After the actual tour in the building, we went to the cemetery to visit her grave and pay our respects. It was a nice afternoon remembering a television icon, who changes the landscape of broadcasting forever!

Neat place for those who recall I Love Lucy or who love Lucille Ball or Desi Arnaz. Lots of memorabilia and a few videos that add to them. You can see most of the museum in an hour to an hour and a half and including the attached Desilu next door. Street parking is possible when we were there on a Thursday in the Fall and it was free for up to two hours. Some streets have meters though.

Great museum. Definitely need to come again. One of my favorite places I've ever visited.

Loved it!! One side is Lucy and Desi the other side is I Love Lucy! Both with their own gift shops.

I found this place on Google maps as I just acquired an espresso machine and was searching for local roasters in the area. I've been here twice for beans and food and both are amazing! The coffee beans, when used for espresso, are otherworldly! Do yourself a favor and check this place out. You won't regret it!

We gave this establishment a second chance when we discovered it was under new ownership and are so glad we did! We pop in for coffee on days we're in the area. We have never had a long wait. They make a great latte, and we've enjoyed several of their drip coffees. They have a number of coffee syrups (I will include a pic of the list). They add cream to your drip coffee on request and have a number of sweeteners available, including honey and raw sugar. They also keep half and half on the bar. If you are a tea drinker, they have an assortment of bagged teas. They do make breakfast bagel sandwiches which look yummy, and soups and salads, but we have never stopped in at a meal time. The chairs are comfortable, and the tables are nicely spaced, so you do not feel like you are being overheard. I appreciate the plants and the light airiness of the shop. Don't forget to pick up a bag of your favorite beans on your way out!

The owners came to Chautauqua Institution to teach us how to make drinks. They were professional, kind, outgoing,and taught us well. I could most likely walk in there and make a latte with no problem. Great teachers and let’s just say their coffee is amazing! Thank you so much for a wonderful learning experience today. Sorry that I forgot your names,but I won’t forget your faces or the great experience.

Stopped in while visiting from Ohio. Excellent. This is what cappuccino should be. Bold, strong, and flavorful.

I love supporting a local coffee shop. I have visited Crown Street several times. Just recently I visited with my husband and our daughter. For the 3 of us our bill was $47! We all had a breakfast sandwich, my daughter had a gluten free wrap which I appreciate them offering ( a lot of places don’t), I had a chai tea with oat milk and my husband had an Ethiopian blend coffee. The breakfast wrap was ok. My husband and I enjoyed our breakfast sandwiches. The tea was average and the coffee was bitter. Also they had the air conditioner set to very cold and it was already cold and rainy outside. All together an average experience, but I just can’t get past the price. If I am paying that amount of money at a coffee shop it should be outstanding. I think they can do better.

I was staying in one of the nearby hotels when I found this gem. The staff was fantastic at handling the never ending rush of the morning. The sandwiches were much better than the breakfast that the hotel offered.

I too, have never been here. But, since there is some obnoxious woman asking that people leave a one star review when clearly you have a lot of support from the community (for asking her to stop filming in the middle of your dining area), then I felt the need to come here and counteract that. It looks like I am not the only one but it definitely also is clear that so many people from the community love ya'll! I will definitely be dropping in the next time I am in the area!

Beautiful historic venue with excellent sound and updated facilities. Attending shows here is always a treat. Much love for the staff. Always kind, dedicated, and professional!

Beautiful theater for events and movies, new seating, very comfortable with bar for shows. Like everything about this place.

I remember this place when it was just the movie theater when I was a kid it looks beautiful now it's been restored the sound system can use a little bit of upgrading but other than that I really enjoy the new look

Beuatiful. I always get a sense of community when I see a movie here ,and it is an affordable downtown event for a family. The most recent film I saw was bohiemian rapsody which was sold out so the balcony was open. I believe it was there first sold out show. If I had one complaint it would be that the line to the concessions was confusing. I finally gave up after about 17 min when I was about 15 feet away and found the line I was in was merging with another tightly packed line. To my right was another line that was for tickets but also had people in line for conession. We had just at dinner at the labyrinth (which I always recommend)so it wasn't that upsetting,and either way I think I would give my experience 5 stars we always have a great time at the Reg.

Beautiful theatre, well worth a visit. The only drawback was the lack of leg room, but people were shorter when this place was built, so you can't really complain about that. Had a great night out and would like to come again.

I love the Rocky Horror showing they do in October. It has been well preserved over the years, allowing its guests to experience the original charm of the facility. It's clean, comfortable, and holds awesome events for the community. The people who work there are kind and enthusiastic about keeping the Reg Lenna a central gathering point for the community. I hope it's around for another 100 years!

My family loves the Reg! The atmosphere is nostalgic of times past. They have great variety of live shows and even free stuff for kiddos. The have the best popcorn and a nice selection of adult libations!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Pub in Jamestown, NY, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience! From the moment I walked in, the service was exceptional—warm, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. The staff made me feel right at home, which is no surprise considering The Pub has been a beloved cornerstone of Jamestown’s eateries for over 60 years. Since opening its doors in 1965, this family-owned gem has been serving up quality food and hospitality that keeps locals and visitors coming back time and time again. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish prepared with care and bursting with flavor. I tried their famous Beef on Weck, a Western NY classic they’ve clearly perfected, and it was hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had. The menu offers a great variety, from hearty Italian specialties to homemade soups that hit all the right spots. Pair that with a fantastic selection of drinks—craft beers, wines, and spirits—and you’ve got a meal that’s hard to beat. The Pub’s 60-year history in Jamestown shines through in its cozy, welcoming atmosphere and the genuine sense of community you feel while you’re there. It’s no wonder this place has stood the test of time as a go-to spot for great food and even better company. If you’re in Jamestown, do yourself a favor and stop by The Pub—you won’t be disappointed!

Great pub to find and have a decent pint and some food, Sam behind the bar was brilliant very friendly and welcoming. Food was good not a big menu but its a pub who wants big food when your there to drink haha. If I lived here it would definitely be my local although a good cider would be needed thanks for making me feel at home.

I’ve only been here twice but the staff are friendly and give great service. This is the chest place I ever ate pizza in Jamestown and they have surprisingly good pizza as well as ravioli. Of course they have plenty of beers too, nothing egregiously unavailable.

Nice bar and grill. Friendly staff We tried the stuffed shells and the pizza. Both great ! Reasonable priced as well.

Great find. Dinner at the bar. We both had eggplant parm. Yummy!! They had both small and large portions . Small was perfect for me! Bartender was our server and very attentive! We will go back next time we pass through the area

While in Jamestown to see Nat Comedy Center & Lucy/Desi Museum, we stopped for lunch at The Pub. Excellent service! Great food! 😋 Will def eat here again next time I'm up that way.

Missed the Cash Only Sign. Tasty and reasonably sized Ruben for the price . Great Service and fast delivery.

Really beautiful, well maintained park with something for everyone! BBQ with friends or bring family of all ages... hope to visit again. -JAS

Lovely park, I love walking around the field and trails surrounding the area. Highly recommend this park.

It's a lovely park. Accessible all year if the weather cooperates.

Had our grandson's birthday 🎂 party there and it was great!

Quiet, well maintained peaceful place to relax and enjoy.

We love to use the wonderful park it is a great place to hike and exercise

We visited the splash pad and it was quite a cure attraction for the area

06/14/2025 910am. Can I give this eatery 10 stars? We were in town to visit the Lucille Ball Museum. It was pouring rain and no other options to walk to for a hot breakfast. Thank you for being attentive and caring. Breakfast was wonderful (hubby had pancakes and I had eggs/bacon/rye toast) The coffee was amazing. Definitely plan on making this my first stop next time in Jamestown.

Lisciandro's Restaurant was a hidden gem for us on our trip for breakfast. We stayed at a local hotel and the breakfast there was just "ok", so we figured we would check it out. It has more of a diner feel to it. You walk in a grab a seat and service will follow quickly. The staff were friendly and the food was tasty and a good value, especially compared to what the hotel charged. The only negative was I ordered grapefruit juice and it came in a small can. Be sure to check the date (if you get it). Probably not a big mover. We will stop again the next time we are in the area.

I really liked this place! The Lisciandro sandwich I got was super delicious! The workers were very nice as well, especially the owner and her husband! I would definitely recommend this place!

Nice little place. Hours are a little short. Never would have known this was here till some one pointed it out. The signature sandwich is very different in taste. If you like spices you need to try it. We'll crafted for different spices to hit your taste buds at different times as the flavors roll out. Oh our waitress was great. I was a little worried at first but pleasantly surprised. I would tip that lady well. I asked about getting large fries and she went with normal and told me I could upgrade to large after I saw the normal if I wanted. You don't really get that .any places.

I ordered the chicken bacon ranch sandwich on a pretzel roll. Absolutely Phenomenal! If you’re in Jamestown stop by!

This restaurant is the picture perfect small town establishment. The homemade sausage and blueberry pancakes are delicious! In business since 1954, they have truly stood the test of time in Jamestown. The owners are awesome people, taking the time to track us down to return a lost wallet!

Best breakfast! Get the Italian sausage patties. The hot sauce is amazing! Patti is an amazing cook. The service is fantastic. And the music creates a great atmosphere. It’s a regular of all the locals.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal & cocktails. Friendly service and delicious food made to perfection. Upscale quality food served with very affordable prices during these times.

Fabulous food. And large portions too. The chefs here really do great things with seasonal foods.

Cuban sandwich are served toasted not on soft bread on taste ok didn't bring everything that the menu said it would bring but I paid n left i want 2 also point out I had asked before ordering if they toasted it cause it says it on the menu it comes toasted but the lady the served me said yes n not even 15 mins the food came out I knew that was way 2 fast I was correct 😅 so when I got my sandwich I was surprised n not happy I took it with me I added the meats it needed n toasted it at my house will not be going there anymore. I expect what I order if not than get a professional cook that knows atleast its sandwiches which is the simplest thing to learn.

We had dinner at Gorte last week to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The food for all 4 of us was delicious. The drinks we ordered were unique and delicious as well. The service was great and the ambiance is perfect for a small, intimate group. I highly recommend Forte!

The staff were all friendly and warm, however that’s where the warmth ended. Our appetizer came out (literally) 1 minute after we ordered and was cold. The salad was over dressed yet still flavorless. The gnocchi was ok. Everything was overpriced.

This pic may be from a good while back, but it by far reaches the top end of any meal I’ve ever eaten! And I’ve had plenty of wonderful dishes at Forte since this one as well...

Forte is not what it used to be. Though I now live in DC, I stopped in because this used to be my favorite restaurant in Jamestown. First of all, the prices are DC prices. This cannot be sustained in Jamestown for long. The white rice that came with our meals was flavorless and cold. The meals were okay, but not for that price in Jamestown. I will say our server was very nice and attentive. The remodel makes it cold and unwelcoming. It was a vibrant atmospheric restaurant before. The floors and walls were dirty. The restaurant was barren during dinner time. The once favorite steak and beer special is now $25 and you’re limited to PBR or Phin and Matt’s. I will not be back, unfortunately.

EDITED REVIEW, SEE BELOW FOR ANSWER TO OWNER I expect having their traditional "liar" as answer... it seems to be their "business model" but i do this review for the people. I don't understand the mud slide of good review. I tried their 100 years old recipes and...I must say I would love to have a time machine to taste this pasta dishes back in time. The meat ball taste very regular meat loaf and the sauce itself got a little sugary taste.... we are far from any authentic Italian stuff. Servers are young.... maybe need a little bit of experience to help them since everything was a bit chaotic. OWNER'S ANSWER SEPT 2025: "Yes we have a brand new crew of youngsters in the front of the house since we have lost some to college. And we are working hard to correct any errors made.. since you mentioned “time travel”in your cocky review.. I thought I was back in 2017(when business reviews were cool) answering a review by an account w a fake name ( I can see why), who has nothing else to do on vacation but comment on every gas station, roadside fruit stand, mcdonalds, car parts store and hard working mom and pop business along the way…get a life." MY LAST REPLY A business owner should be able to grow with critics, not put the blame on others. I have made over 200 reviews on businesses I have visited, most of them were positive. If it ain't good, it ain't good. I don't predict a very good future with that attitude. You get a life; you ain't perfect. Point.

Love their food. Best atmosphere out of any restaurant in Jamestown! I mean trust me you ain’t gonna find a better spot to eat. Food was great and affordable. Menu was easy to read, with right amount of choices. The staff was excellent. I mean honestly it’s Jamestown NY. You’re not gonna find a better place to eat and I invite you to try. This place would easily stand up to most restaurants in bigger cities in my opinion.

Ordered a to-go meal. Everything was delicious. The best pizza in town without a doubt!! My only complaint Is regarding the Pasta with the Alfredo sauce. That was also delicious! However, the pasta was placed in a to-go styrofoam container with foil on the bottom. The next day, it was hard to get the leftover pasta out without the foil sticking to it. Perhaps a different liner on the bottom of the container would work better. Looking forward to our next Pizza adventure there. So many choices. This wasn’t the first time we ordered from there, and it definitely will not be the last!!! You have had the rest, now try the best!

Honestly, this was the best Italian food I’ve had in a long time. I ordered the Sunday Sauce, and let me just say if you’re a fan of a sweeter-style sauce, this is the one to try. Rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, it truly stood out. I’ll definitely be coming back for more.

Updated review 8/15/25: While I stand by my review of the food, my opinion of the owners has diminished with my most recent visit. We arrived 45 minutes before closing, and after my first experience here, I know the amazing food takes time but watching a table come in after you, get their food, eat, and leave before you get your food is a fairly big issue. From our booth we could see the entire restaurant, where we could see that the owner was apparently too busy BSing to apologize for the mistakes made on her watch. The college age server was the one trying to make it right. Was the food amazing? Yes. Was the server attentive and friendly? Finally, after we had to seek her out for beverage refills after waiting so long. Do I want to continue to make an hour long drive to patronize people that can't be bothered talking with customers experiencing a problem in their establishment? I honestly don't know. Org review from earlier 2025: It's a good thing I live almost an hour away, or I'd go broke eating here every day they're open! I got a large pizza, and I'm so thankful I did because there was plenty to take home. The crust was light yet substantial, and so crispy. Perfectly cooked. I'm not typically wild about red sauce so I asked for it to be on the easier side and they delivered. It was a great balance of sauce, cheese, and toppings.

Worst food I ever had… tons of hair in the pizza took forever to get almost 1-2 hours. TERRIBLE

Our first time trying Sauce we got a takeout. I love a proper neapolitan thin crust pizza and theirs is amazing, we had the prosciutto one and it is now probably my favorite pizza place in town. It was very large too. My husband got himself a chicken parm which he thoroughly enjoyed as well. We will be coming back for more for sure. Would love to dine in next time instead. Only thing that's a little inconvenient is the fact they're only open 4 days a week (closed sundays) and they close already at 7:30 PM.

I ordered steak and salad with chicken fingers and the steak was cold as if it was sitting outside. The chicken on my salad was cold. I think they took my meal out of the fridge and gave it to me

Ultimately this is one of the best bars/restaurants I've ever been to!!! There staff are personable and some of the best people I've ever met. There prices are low but there food is amazing. You defiently get a great value for your money. The owner Jeremy is there everyday and works just as hard as his employees if not harder. That's days something about the way he runs his buisness- he leads by example. To sum it up amazing food, top notch service, more then fair prices, and they make you feel like family. Truely a hidden gem :)

Not good. Chicken sandwich was dry. Bun was stale and dry. Fries soggy and not seasoned. I tried to eat it; Ended up giving it to my dog.

Sadly, slipping hard and fast. I'll give them 1 more try, but that's it. I've been here around 30 times since 2016, but I'll say since 2022, I've come less and less because they're pretty bad now. The speed of service, order accuracy, temperature of food, quality of food, cleanliness, and bartender friendliness has drastically declined. I've had fewer issues dine in, but a ton of problems with takeout. The straw that broke the camel's back was ordering saucy wings for takeout with extra ranch and paying for extra ranch. Waiting a long time to order a drink and tell them I was there for my order. My drink came with a fruit or drain fly in it and I waited forever on a not even busy night for the bartender to give me my takeout. When I got home they weren't saucy at all, were cold (I live only 7 mins away), and I only had 1 blue cheese when I ordered and paid for EXTRA RANCH. Even if I did eat blue cheese (NEVER) 1 isn't enough for a double order of wings. I had to go back out to the store 3 mins away and stand in line to buy ranch for my already cold wings. My parents who were regular burger eaters there(at least once a month) won't go back after getting dry burnt burgers too many times.

To say I’m obsessed with this place is an understatement. Food was great!!! We got burgers, chicken Caesar wrap, and the special of stuffed chicken breast. Service was spectacular!!! Very quick (food was very hot when we got it). The wait staff was friendly and extremely efficient. And the atmosphere brought it all together!!! You have to ask if you’re at the right place since the sign isn’t the same as the name on the internet. You walk into a room the size of a master bedroom (if that), locals letting you know that you can seat yourself, your basic tables and chairs that make you feel like you’re at a church fish fry, bathrooms with a variety of doors and a hand written sign to let you know if you lock the second door you’ll get locked in, and (and to top it all off) carpeted window sills! This is the ultimate dive bar with great food and service. I hope they never change. I will be back and highlyyyy recommend to dive bar lovers

I came here to say they have the worst italian dressing i have ever had. Ruined my salad, nothing but oil. Terrible Terrible Terrible italian dressing. Pretty much good everything else tho

My mother always told me if I don't have anything nice to say then I shouldn't say anything at all. However I don't always listen to my mother. Let's start at the top it took 10 minutes to get a table when there was two tables empty and two waitresses, mind you there are only eight tables in this place. then let's add a pinch of waitresses not knowing who's table we were sitting at so we are greeted by both of them and both of them try to take our order. Granted not a big deal, however when it takes another 10 minutes for that waitress to come back over just to take your order then it starts to get a little annoying. So now we'll just move on to the entrees. My prime rib was drier than a Catholic nun. My mother's beef on weck sandwich actually made her choke because it was dry as well. my 95 year old grandmother however choke down the fish fry like it was a last meal because in her day you don't let anything go to waste. also it shouldn't take a bar longer than 5 minutes to give you a bottle of beer. 5 minutes that's roughly acceptable 15 minutes to go to the bar to get a bottle of beer and open it and bring it back totally unacceptable. I'm sorry if this is a staple for most people to come here on a Friday and Saturday night and get your chicken wings and your finger foods, but even as I was leaving the look of horror on the gentleman's face trying to have his mozzarella sticks that look like decayed was Zombie Fingers dipped in active charcoal. I guess it's a good thing I never visit my family much cuz this is the last time I'll be going here, sorry Jamestown.
