Came to Anchor Bar in Buffalo after hearing a lot of hype online – was visiting from Ontario and wanted to try something special. As soon as I walked in, I was like wow. the place looked awesome! Super cool vibe, cozy setup, and even had motorcycles mounted on the walls – some of my favorites too. Definitely a great spot to hang out with friends or family over a few drinks. Our server was amazing – even though she was handling a bunch of tables, she was super friendly and helpful. Honestly, one of the best parts of the visit! Now the food… this is where things got a bit mixed. My friend, a total wing lover, said the wings were the best she’s ever had – and she meant it. So happy for her! But I’m a vegetarian, so I went with their large white pizza. Unfortunately, it was a big letdown. It tasted like frozen dough reheated in the oven and just loaded with onions, tomatoes, and cheese. The flavor was really off. I usually eat 4 slices easily, even if it’s just okay – but I barely finished 2 and packed the rest. Super disappointing, especially since we planned the trip around good food. Last visit to Buffalo we had our lunch at Imperial which was next level and I expected the same experience at Anchor. I get that it’s mainly a wing spot (which they do really well), but I’d suggest not adding pizza to the menu if it can’t be done right. Being a vegetarian, it’s tough to find good options, and seeing great reviews made it even more confusing. That said, I’d still come back – not for the food, but for the fun vibe, great service, and because my friend loved her wings. Also enjoyed their IPA beer. Just won’t be ordering pizza again!

We waited at the hostel stand for roughly 10 minutes with many other people and no host in sight. The servers were working their buttons off and one of them ran around seating people. Our server was acceptable. He didn't seem super interested in his job but it got done adequately and the food was great as always.

Since Anchor Bar is the home of the original Buffalo wings, I had to give them a try, and they did not disappoint! The wings were absolutely delicious with that perfect balance of flavor and crispiness. The service was excellent from start to finish, friendly, fast, and attentive. What I loved most is that it didn’t feel like a “tourist spot” at all; it felt authentic, welcoming, and full of local charm. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re anywhere near Buffalo, you won’t regret it!

This place was really cool. Definitely a tourist type spot. The bourben bbq were REALLY good. So was the pep and cheese pizza. One of those places that im glad I went but I am ok if I never return. And that's ok

The vibes in this restaurant are amazing. The buffalo wings are definitely a must have. They are a so good. You will wish you can eat more. The pizza is fantastic too. The cup and char of the pepperoni gives it a nice crunch. Worth doing the pizza and wings combo. No credit card surcharge. Clean interior. Clean washrooms. Bar seating available with many TVs for your enjoyment. No Free WiFi. There can be a wait especially on weekends. Prices can be high for certain items. Bring a patch from your emergency service and put them up on the walls. Bring your license plate it. They'll try and make room for it somewhere. Go Bills. Go Sabers. USA Baby!

Came to the Anchor Bar the home of the original Buffalo chicken wings while taking a trip through the state of New York. Me and 2 companions went there at around 4:30 in the afternoon so it wasn't too busy and we were seated immediately. Our server Apache brought us the menus and took our drink orders. When he brought our drinks, we placed our orders. We got an order of original chicken wings with there original sauce we also ordered some boneless wings with honey BBQ sauce and a hamburger with potato salad we also got a small of mozzarella sticks and a small order of loaded potato skins. We got to check out the cool memorabilia on the walls of the restaurant while waiting for our food. It's a great joint with a lot of history. Apache brought our order out a short time later, and everything was hot and tasty. The original bone in chicken wings with the original sauce were great according to my companions with just a bit of heat and great flavor and my boneless wings with honey BBQ sauce had the same with just a bit of heat only with a sweet undertone. The hamburger was the only slight disappointment in that it was a bit dry, not as juicy as he would have liked but was OK flavor wise, and his potato salad was good, not great. Apache, our server was great, telling us the difference between the sauces and making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. It was a great meal and great experience at the Anchor Bar.

3.5/5 stars. As the birthplace of buffalo wings, Anchor Bar should set the standard, but my experience fell short. The order taker seemed disinterested, struggling to get our order right. However, the garlic Parmesan sauce was a highlight - rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The fried wings were average, nothing special. It's clear this iconic spot has lost some of its magic over time. Still, the sauce is worth a visit alone. If they can revamp their service, Anchor Bar might reclaim its former glory. For now, it's a mixed bag.

My wife and I saw "Beauty & The Beast" on a Saturday matinee. The show was beyond spectacular. Shea's offers comfortable seats with great views from all vantage points. The theatre has old style charm with exquisite decorations. My family has seen great productions of "Damn Yankees", "Man of La Mancha", "West Side Story", "Phantom of the Opera", "Sunset Boulevard", "Titantic The Musical", and "The Producers". Shea's is a very well maintained theatre.

Gorgeous theatre I've ever been to so far, seats were comfortable and staff are friendly. We saw The Outsiders tour which was extraordinary!

Beautiful older downtown Buffalo theater. Great location and great venue for events. They have a bar with a nice selection of drinks as well. Plenty of parking, paid lots or street parking is free after 5pm..

Large crowd for David Byrne. Entering was quick. Beer lines were long but ambience always noteworthy

Beautiful historic theater. Not a bad seat in the house. Lovely experience and nice, helpful staff.

The building is absolutely beautiful! Make sure you leave time to find parking before your event.

Shea's Buffalo Theatre is a wonderful place to go for a live theater production or catch a performance of one type or the other. The acoustics are good so hearing the music or dialogue is usually not a problem. The stage is large so the sets that developed for the shows can be very creative. Many national tours of Broadway shows start at shows where the facilities are available to develop the touring sets and production. One caveat, if you are 6'2" and taller with long legs, the balcony seating and the last 6 - 8 rows of the main floor may be tight on your legs. I'm 6'2" and speak from personal experience. Most of the floor seating does have plenty of room so keep that in mind when choosing your seat.

Canalside in Buffalo is a wonderful spot to spend an afternoon or evening. The area is beautifully developed with a scenic waterfront that’s perfect for a relaxing walk. The views of the river and boats create a peaceful vibe, especially around sunset. The Buffalo & Erie County Naval and Military Park is a highlight, it’s fascinating to explore the historic ships and exhibits. Whether you’re just strolling, grabbing a bite, or enjoying some quiet time by the water, Canalside is a must-visit when in Buffalo.

Title: A Perfect Weekend Getaway from Canada! 🇨🇦➡️🇺🇸 Buffalo was the perfect road trip escape from Ontario! The drive was smooth and crossing the border was quick with friendly officers. We loved the mix of history, local eats (shoutout to the original Halal Food Places!), and great shopping deals at Walden Galleria. Loved the Visit to Canal side, me being the love for Air-force, knowing the history of World War ll was a great experience. People were warm and welcoming, and parking was easy downtown. A peaceful yet fun getaway—Buffalo surprised us in all the best ways. Definitely planning to return soon!

Great afternoon trip down to the waterfront. Take a history boat tour. Visit the naval museum and gift shop. Grab a hot dog and icr cream cone or a Tim Horton coffee and stroll the boardwalk. Hop on the carousel and take a step back into childhood. Make sure you stop by the "waterway of change" exhibit. Its free and very informative.

As we visited to Canalside is a testament to Buffalo's resurgence, blending rich history with modern attractions. Whether you're interested in outdoor adventures, cultural experiences, or simply enjoying the waterfront, Canalside offers something for everyone. Its ongoing revitalization and diverse programming make it a must-visit destination in Western New York.

Short visit but met some nice people. Everything was clean. Giant sandbox for kids. Floating tiki bar, kayaks for adults and the war memorial as well as some more Erie Canal history. Official end of the Erie Canal. I made it!

Attended the Asian Culture Festival and loved it. Also took a boat tour. Canalside is great except for two things. 1. Not enough information. Ever see those sign poles with signage arrows pointing in different directions? Canalside needs several pf those poles placed strategically pointing in the direction of a. Restrooms, b. Boat Tours c. Picnic areas, d. Information resources. Secondly, the parking situation is abysmal. Either have signs designating where parking is available or list it on the website. Why? I'm 70. I shouldn't have to search blocks and blocks for a parking space and then have to walk 8 blocks on a hot day to get to my destination. Nor should I have to pay $25 to park in the ramp. That's crazy.

Fun place. Rich in history and scenic views. Lots to do and see. Good family spot. Parking can be difficult. Just go pay for it.

Pretty good park with a retro feel and cool atmosphere. The food is good too. Staff is great except for one particular guy. I was waiting almost 45 minutes for a simple order while this guy, who was the manager of the food stand, was just brutally screaming at and harassing a new worker while I was just standing there! He should be fired from his job. Other than that, parking is pretty difficult but manageable. Pretty good ballpark.

Definitely a bit on the retro side, but you can expect that from a minor league game. Overall, it was a good ballpark with cheap tickets. Food wasn’t bad either! If you stay at the Wyndham, they offer a free shuttle to and from the game!

It was nice being back at Pilot Field (Sahlen Field). Arrived at 5:45pm for a 6:35pm first pitch. Parked a few blocks away. Walked by two bars that unfortunately were boarded up and not much going on outside the stadium. Once inside things perked up. Lots of energy and friendly staff. Walked around the stadium enjoying the sights and sounds. The playing field was in great condition but the concourse level felt old and dated. The drinking fountain was rusty and not draining. $9.50 for a Budweiser 20oz. The ballgame was fun, lots of promotions and kids chasing foul balls. Fun atmosphere but disappointed in the area around the stadium.

Great field. Fun atmosphere. Worst service in baseball though. How can it possibly be that I wait in line for 40 min for a HOT DOG and a beer. It's like, they don't want to sell things. While I waited in line, I sold all my shares/stock, lol. And it's named after a HOT DOG company? I'd be pretty embarrassed. I'd like to come here and watch baseball, not stand in line.

Well I go here every summer! Yesterday I went for the Harry Potter game. 2 problems. 1- should have had the one team grifindor and the other team a different house both teams were the same house. 2- should’ve separated the tickets house wise I was looking for Harry Potter merch n I couldn’t find any. The price of tickets were my daughter and I sat were AMAZING. I will forever get them seats!!! 112 row J love love love!

Not really into baseball, but went to a game and enjoyed it! Bisons we're playing a team, can't remember the name, it was great! Overall, good food and drinks. Sat by the first base side, didn't get too many balls hit over to where I was, but it's whatever. Was shown on the jumbotrom a few times.

Had a great time at Sahlen Field..! The stadium has a nostalgic, retro charm and the atmosphere is perfect for a relaxing night out. Tickets are affordable, and the food fare hits the spot (though the hot dogs could be better, especially for a stadium named after one..!). Staff were friendly and it was easy to get in and out of the venue. Definitely recommend for families, baseball fans, or anyone looking for a fun evening in Buffalo.

Great museum in old building that is truly amazing. Bug zone, foid zone, earthquakes and wind, dinosaurs. Plus an observatory with a telescope on the roof. A snack area and Great gift shop. Perfect way to spend an afternoon

Great place to take your kid to to explore nature and do some cool experiments. Will definitely plan another trip here with my kids. There is a lot to see and virtually no time to see them all. Great place. Recommend.

This museum is awesome with many activities to do and a lot of information to learn! The employees were very kind and helpful with information and directions. This is a good place for adults and kids to have fun and learn something new. There are four floors full of learning activities and an observation deck up to to look over the city. There are elevators or stairs depending on which you prefer to take to get to the next level and there is food and drinks right before going into the first exhibits

We visited the Buffalo Museum of Science during our vacation in August. There are 4 floors in the museum and there are stairs or elevators to each floor. Inside the museum there are many exhibits to look at and ones to participate in. We had fun with all the interactive exhibits and programs ( some were not working) and learning about Science related to electricity, weather, animals etc. The staff were polite and professional during our visit. There is a fee ( under $20) for the admission.

Fun museum for my 1 and 4 year old. My very adventurous 1 year old was able to roam and around and play without me worrying she would break something. My 4 year old loved the animals and the special science demonstration. I felt like there were a few exhibits that either weren't working or were very worn. Definitely a fun little adventure for our family though.

This was an alright museum with some interesting things like Dinosaurs and even a Fiji Mermaid that was shown at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition, as well as some neat interactive exhibits, but it’s mostly just stuff for kids and the museum is kinda small.

Great all-around science museum with exhibits on history, animals, insects, dinosaurs, health, mechanism and more. Lots of hands on activities to keep kids entertained for a while. Part of the ASTC reciprocal program. Definitely worth checking out!

We recently had what will probably be our last Buffalo Dinosaur BBQ experience in Buffalo before they move the location. Our waitress was extremely pleasant and attentive. The food was great and we sampled a variety of sides as a family. I look forward to a future visit to the new location in a few months. Thanks all for 11 fun years filled with solid BBQ!

Excellent service! The young man who served us was very helpful and friendly, he made us feel very comfortable explaining things to us. The food is delicious, we tried a family plate of meat, rice and mashed potatoes, everything was delicious, really recommended. The wings are very tasty *clean bathrooms

The BBQ re I recently had the pleasure of dining at Dinosaur Bar- Que, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed and casual meal. The star of the show was undoubtedly the food. The brisket was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful with just the right amount of smoky goodness. The barbecue sauce complemented the meat beautifully, adding a sweet and tangy kick. The sides were equally impressive, with the roasted corn offering a delightful burst of sweetness and the cornbread delivering a perfect balance of crumbly texture and buttery flavor. The chicken wings were another highlight, with a rich, smoky flavor and a perfectly charred exterior. The accompanying fries were crispy and well-seasoned, providing a great contrast to the tender wings. The creamy dipping sauce added a nice touch, making every bite more enjoyable. Overall, Dinosaur Bar- Que is a must-visit for any BBQ lover. The attention to detail in each dish, combined with the welcoming atmosphere, makes it a dining experience worth repeating. I can’t wait to return and try more from their delicious menu!

Good food in downtown Buffalo, atmosphere was pretty good / interesting decorations. They could clean the place a bit better. We had ribs, brisket and sausages. It was good quality, but nowhere near Texas barbecue places. The draft beer was incredible good quality. All in all solid choice.

After getting more than few recommendations about this place, we decided to try this place. The ambiance is rustic and warm. Great staff. Thomas was very helpful and friendly, We ordered Devils Duel spicy wings, which were delicious and had a good kick the only negative I could say is that some of the wings were burnt on the surface. The brisket sandwich was flavourful and aromatic and tender but it was very salty. Over all it was a good experience.

Fried Green Tomatoes, Brisket, Pulled Pork, Potato Salad and Mac & Cheese with some Corn Bread. Food was good but honestly the service was better! I would say the food was mid, mediocre to good. But the service I received was amazing! My waitress was so pleasant and bubbly. She made the experience nice!

Truly the definition of fall off the bone ribs 😍. these were cooked to absolutely PERFECTION and tasted absolutely magnificent. We did a day trip to Buffalo (originally from Toronto) and we saw reviews about this place and had to check it out! we were not disappointed at all !!! From the sliders to the fries and mashed potatoes, everything was delicious. One of the best spots i’ve been to for ribs and i was genuinely impressed AND full. Would visit 100% again! highly recommend to anyone! The service was also top quality as well!

We had an incredible experience at Buffalo Chophouse. The food was phenomenal, from the perfectly cooked steak (slightly on the salty side) and buttery lobster tail to the flavorful sides like mushrooms, mashed potatoes, and broccolini. Every dish was spot on. But the real standout of the night was Jack, our bartender. He was truly top tier, tanticipating our every need, showing genuine patience, and offering some of the best service I’ve had in a long time. He was always nearby without hovering and made the whole evening feel effortless and special. Huge shoutout to him for elevating our night. Highly recommend!

Best friend and I went for my birthday. Our server was extremely polite and professional. We started with the calamari appetizer which was large and perfect for the price. Friend got an old fashioned which was the perfect amount of smokey to sweetness. My Moscow mule could have been a little stronger but was great. For our entrees my friend got a 8oz fillet medium rare, and I got 32oz bone in Ribeye medium rare. Both were cooked to perfection and the seasoning crust was top notch. As our side we got the mac and cheese which was phenomenal with the melted crust ontop and once you got down further the cheesey deliciousness paired super well with some of the fatty steak pieces. Would definitely be a place I'd come bsck to once a year or so.

From start to finish, our experience at Buffalo Chophouse was absolutely exceptional. The service was top-notch — attentive, friendly, and perfectly timed without ever feeling rushed. Every detail, from the warm welcome to the thoughtful table checks, made the evening feel special. But the real star of the night was the Twin Grilled Center Cut Lamb Chops. Perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor, they were truly unforgettable. The mint chimichurri added a bright, fresh twist that elevated the entire dish, while the rosemary lamb glace brought a rich, savory depth that tied everything together beautifully. It’s one of those plates you’ll find yourself thinking about long after the meal is over. If you’re looking for a place that combines outstanding service, impeccable execution, and memorable flavors, Buffalo Chophouse is it. Highly recommended!

This place was so nice. We went here for my girlfriends birthday, that have a deal where they comp an entree for birthday celebrants under 50 bucks, so obviously that’s what we did. The bar is really nice, the bartenders are all really cool, and their drinks were really good. Our dinner was amazing, and I cannot speak highly enough about our server Eli and his helper Janelle. I would recommend this place to anyone in a heart beat. Get the Tom Collins.

It was very nice; wasn’t expecting a 3 level place. Service was friendly and the food was very good. It was a lovely night.

A World-Class Dining Experience in Buffalo I’ve had the privilege of dining at Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, so I wasn’t sure what to expect coming to Buffalo. As someone who tends to draw attention, I admit I was a bit hesitant at first — I wanted my family and me to enjoy a quiet evening without feeling watched or out of place. We dressed down intentionally, hoping to blend in. From the moment we arrived early for our 6:45 reservation, the Buffalo Chophouse team went above and beyond. They accommodated us immediately and made us feel completely at ease. James, our server, was exceptional — attentive, genuine, and respectful in a way that reminded me what true hospitality feels like. He struck the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth, never once making us feel out of place despite my usual need for discretion. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers both excellence and authenticity in equal measure. I would absolutely return to Buffalo just to dine here again. This experience was truly five-star in every sense.

Excellent food and service. Steak was cooked perfectly and Mac and cheese was an excellent side option. We will certainly return again.

If I could give this 0 stars I would. I work at a coffee shop in my home town. Our number 1 rule is to not shut down the espresso machine until the exact time we close. I attempted to order an espresso drink 1 hour before they closed and the said the espresso machine was done for the day. The service was incredibly rude. Messy tables, horrible bathroom. Got a hot brewed coffee that was burnt. The refresher was pretty good, but only because they didn’t have the first one I tried to order. The man in front of us tried to order a food item, 1 hour before close, and was rejected. Avoid this location if possible.

Good service, food was consistent quality for a TH’s. Purchased the 2x breakfast sandwich promo with some TimBits, all came out fine. Had to bus our own table it was dirty but other than that the place was good. Would come back, thank you!

Under staffed so it took a long time to get the food. Employees are not super friendly and they messed up and order.

Did mobile order 3 times, 1st time walked in, waited by mobile pickup, nobody asked me anything, no customers were at registers, workers were just fixing coffee machine & walking around. Had to stop girl & tell her I’m here for a mobile pickup, She looked a bag on counter & said here, it’s right here with an attitude, the bag was so small , I knew that wasn’t my complete order. Girl looked at receipt and seen the whole order wasn’t there, then got rest of items & apologized. 2nd time , didn’t bother to ask, just seen my name on receipt, but was missing a coffee, that took a few minutes just to get there attention, with attitude got my coffee. 3rd time , 1/2 order was only there again, after waiting a few minutes, the girl making the sandwiches asked if my name was Christopher & gave me the order. Got back to hotel it was wrong order. This was my first times after using a Tim Hortons , Not sure if it was just this location like this

Food and employees are generally great, minus the short staffing during busy events. The windows inside have had the same smudges all over them for weeks if not months and there is dust everywhere. Manager must not care about keeping a clean environment and it shows

I want to say, it's Tuesday September 23rd. 1130am. Who ever was here making sandwiches was absolutely amazing!!!! So friendly and polite! And, as I was about to thank and compliment him on his bacon egg and cheese biscuits he made for me, another customer came behind me and complimented him for his food too! This guy, whoever it is, needs a raise!

Only issue at this location is service when you need the code to use the bathroom! They are slow and use the minimum employees even on a busy weekend when a Line almost out the door! But all locations have been slipping on stocking food and drink options up, so unfortunately Dunkin Donuts has more and more of my whole families business now!

Their brunch menu is really good, I got a croque madame and I loved it. The drinks were great too, my favorite was a fall special mimosa with apple cider and caramel. Not giving 5 stars because service was quite slow, even though the restaurant wasn't full. We would finish our drink and wait a long time for our server to come back.

Ordered a Chi Pear Scone and a caramel macchiato when they first first opened. Both were served reasonably quick. The scone was clearly fresh baked, it was very flaky but the chi glaze on top really held it together. The space is huge, gorgeous wood floors and reclaimed wood table tops. Plenty of seating around the location. Staff was friendly and helpful, presentation of already prepared food was excellent.

Excellent experience at Mon Ami; I would recommend making a reservation, but the host was kind enough to squeeze us in even though they were fully booked. The food was excellent, and everything tasted fresh. The servers were lovely and attentive to everyone. They have a full coffee bar with a professional barista; the coffee tasted better than Starbucks!!!! I can’t wait to go back next weekend!!

The french toast was fluffly and had a ton of flavor.. the eggs were cooked to perfection ! They had diffrent type of momosas and the coffee was strong so thats a major plus. They have big windows which open up the space alot more, and the wood makes it feel comfortable. I highly reccomend this place, not to mention staff was very respectful & professional. Will definitely come back here !

One of my favorite breakfast/brunch places in downtown Buffalo. The croissants are wonderful, which is probably why 50% of their menu items include one. Their hot drinks could be served a little hotter - got to drink your coffee as soon as you get it!! Parisian eggs Benedict and banana bread pancakes shown in the pics. We always have a lovely time.

I love coming here for brunch! The host Miguel was amazing. Along with greeting and seating people, he was also going around and helping everyone out. He even cleared a few tables to sit some other guests! My waitress today, Belle, was amazing! She knew what she was doing and was a pleasure to have a little chit chat with. And the food is delicious 🤤. Will continue to tell my friends and coworkers about Mon Ami

Taste not bad, but I prefer other places better from the price and food taste perspective. This may because they provide limited menus these days. I update the menus so please take a look. Good place for a light meal.
