We were worried it would be the type of place where "everyone knows each other" but it is not like…read morethat. Our server was very friendly and helpful with the menu. I love short ribs and theirs is tender and flavorful. My husband ordered clams with chorizo and pasta and loved it, stating it wasn't a "heavy" dish. Drink choices were good. Place was clean, parking in back. We would return!

After a long drive to have brunch somewhere on Elmwood, just to find the doors locked, I ventured…read moreover here to have lunch and it did not disappoint! First off, I was greeted and found staff friendly and efficient! You have plenty of options for seating .. dining area, front bar, back bar, even an outdoor patio bar. Although it is dive bar-esque, it was nice and clean (let's be honest .. some dives have a stench and stickiness that can definitely ruin your appetite, no matter how much you may love them). They have a set up for bands to play, as one was playing while I was there for their 2 year anniversary (congrats!). What was nice is although I could hear the band (it was playing in the back and I was up front), it wasn't over whelming me. I have eaten places where, no matter where you sit, it's extremely loud, and I appreciated that you had a choice here. Now onto the food: The food should have been doomed to fail; my tastebuds were prepared to eat sweet, buttery, syrupy French toast with a mocktail at brunch elsewhere. But wasn't hyped about the menu because of this (which is not dog and pony's fault .. I had to work and didn't have time to research where else brunch was available). I settled on the umami smashburger by a suggestion of my waitress. Now once again, could have been doomed to fail as I'm not a French fry person and my favorite cheeseburger is one I make on my own. BUT WOW their food blew me away and made me forget all about my brunch let-down. The French fries were fantastic and had a great seasoning on them! The smashburger was great to the last bite .. and I was NOT expecting to finish it as it was a really nice portion (I ate lunch now 10 hours ago and didn't need to eat again it was so filling!) but it was so dang gone good I sure finished it! Smoked cheddar .. chimichuri aioli ... kimchi bacon jam .. oh ya that bacon jam was EVERYTHING!! Thank you to the staff at Dog and Pony for making my long drive worth while!

Ordered medium wings and they are outstanding, maybe the best I ever had actually. Long long wait…read morethough, the French fries probably came out a good hour or so before the wings did and they were pretty salty and a bit soggy, dont know if they are always that way. Also remember to bring cash, no credit cards here. The staff very friendly and attentive.

A couple things to note for anyone who hasn't been here: 1. It's cash only 2. They don't offer take…read moreout (they have to go boxes if you don't finish your food but you can't just order food to go) 3. Be prepared to wait for your food. 4. Nothing you order will come out at the same time. 5. The kitchen closes long before the listed closing time. 6. It's a tiny dive bar type spot with a small bar and very limited table seating so they don't allow parties over 6 people. We were a party of 2 and arrived about 45 minutes after they opened. Place was already packed and we were quoted a 90 minute wait. Ok no problem, we grabbed a couple drinks at the bar. There wasn't a seat for both of us at the bar or we could've just ordered food right at the bar. Those seats are first come first serve. We actually only waited about 30 minutes for a table. As we were going to the table we were told that it's about 90 minutes for food to come out of the kitchen. Again, we appreciated the heads up and hoped it was going to be similar to the seating time quote and be overestimated. Spoiled alert: it's not. Our server was quick to greet us and grabbed another round of drinks while we looked at the menu. It's very small so there wasn't a lot to debate. We decided to order the Finn fries, pizza sticks (it's just pizza logs) and 20 wings. The giant plate of fresh cut fries came out first and rather quickly. They were seasoned and greasy but not in a I feel so gross after eating just a few kind of way. We ate the fries slowly and then it was the long wait. About 2 hours later the pizza sticks arrived and the wings came shortly after. The pizza sticks were overcooked and a little burnt in my opinion. The wings were a good size and were definitely crispy even though they were swimming in sauce. The wing sauce had good flavor without being just burn your tastebuds hot. The inside of many of the wings however was dry and chewy. This is where the disappointment set in. I hoped it was just one or two that were dry but we both commented on the wings being dried out. The homemade blue cheese was fine but nothing exceptional. Overall, I don't get the hype and it's not a place I would be willing to go back to and wait 2 hours for wings again. I think there are plenty of comparable options that don't take the entire night to get your food. Our server was great and kept checking on us and made sure we had everything we needed while we waited for the wings. Not his fault at all and we didn't experience the attitude that others comment about. Bartender was great too. Would I eat here again? Probably not.

Came to see a band. We got our tickets in advance and were able to show them at the door. Simple…read moreprocess. Great ambiance with interesting photos and stickers plaster throughout. They also have a pool table and juke box you can use at a cost. The venue had drinks specials available and posted. They also had food options to choose from. We didn't partake in any of these options. Bathroom was clean with two stalls available. The only problem I had was the venue was very warm the entire evening with very few options for cool air. I only saw two fans and this wasn't enough with a large crowd. We stepped outside often because it was just too hot in there.

Mohawk Place is back, and after finally stopping in during its reopening weekend, I can happily say…read morethe place still has all the charm that makes it a Buffalo favorite. The new management seems to be off to a great start, and the combination of live music, dive bar atmosphere, and friendly vibes makes it the kind of spot that's easy to spend an entire evening in. We grabbed a couple of cocktails and settled in before going to a comedy show at Key Bank Center. Food-wise, we ordered a sampler featuring their steak sandwich with caramelized onions, house-made chips, 3 wings, and potato salad. I don't know if this will be offered in the future or if it was more for their soft opening. The steak sandwich was the standout for me. It came with a piece of strip steak that may not have been the fanciest cut, but it was flavorful and hit the spot. The chips were perfectly crunchy and dangerously addictive. I honestly could've eaten an entire bag of them. The potato salad was another pleasant surprise, creamy and flavorful without being overloaded with onions like so many versions are. If the reopening weekend is any indication, Mohawk Place is a great bar to grab a drink, and enjoy some surprisingly good food.
