    Open Face Steak Sandwich
    Maggie H.

    The serving sizes here were crazy! Like this was so delicious and affordable. Definitely worth it. I also had buffalo cauliflower for an appetizer that was enough to feed about 4 people. Waitress was super nice and friendly too.

    Pork sandwich

    Was promptly greeted when entering and seated quickly. Staff were friendly. Food was fresh. I took off one stare because my chicken was slightly overcooked. They could have easily have gotten a 5. Wife's pork sandwich was perfect. Portions were generous. Some edges were black. Laid back atmosphere fear.

    After sitting 30 minutes at the Jug and being ignored, we left to try this place (mind you I drove all the way from Williamsville!). Wow, like night and day with service here! Thank you for salvaging our night! Atmosphere is cozy and friendly. We only had to wait about 5 minutes for a table. In the meantime, we got drinks at the bar and the bartender was fast and personable. Upon being seated, we were given menus that had so many yummy things to try it was hard to pick! The person I was with has already been here and ordered his favorite jerk chicken sandwich (which I sampled and loved). He also got the French onion soup which he also loved. I got the 1/2 roasted Greek chicken entree and it did not disappoint. The chicken was cooked to perfection, a bit crisp and very flavorful on the outside and juicy on the inside. The feta mashed potatoes were awesome, the dressing on the Greek salad was great, so was the little pita pocket it came with. Everyone we came in contact treated us like they knew us and I love that level of service! They even said goodbye from behind the bar on the way out, despite many other patrons being there. We'll be back again next weekend!

    Driving around today looking for several places to eat. Had tried a couple others to show up and they were closed. Found this little dive here on Yelp and I am glad I did. If the restaurant hadn't been so cold inside I would have given them a five star rating. The food was amazing and decently priced. The service was excellent. For a dive the restaurant was really clean. This restaurant gives me the hometown feel where all the locals go. When we walked in you could tell many of the locals had shown up to watch the Bills game with their buddies. As far as the food, I ordered the ribeye steak sandwich and it was amazing. Be prepared you are not really eating a sandwich. You are getting a full steak. My wife ordered a chicken chimichanga and loved it. Daughter had chilli and loved it as well. The waitresses was really outstanding. Service 5 Food 5 Ambiance 4 Cleanliness 4 Price $$

    The second supper (Day 2, Meal 3) of our Western New York family vacation was Bandana's Bar & Grill. Conveniently located between our second and third destinations of the day, and with good Yelp reviews to boot, we entered the restaurant at 6:10pm with high hopes ... but when we left at 7:50pm, we were pretty universally disappointed. In total, we spent almost exactly 100 minutes at Bandana's, and the one word that best summed up our experience was 'waiting.' First we had to wait for a table. Then we had to wait to place our drink and food orders. Refills? Forget about it! We had to flag down a waitress and ask for refills, then waited forever to get them. Our food orders came out of the kitchen in a fairly reasonable period of time, and our meals both looked and tasted great! However that was completely overshadowed by the slow and disinterested servers. My daughter's order was missing the side listed on the menu, and when we asked our waitress about it, she said she would take care of it, but nothing ever happened. No follow-up like "the kitchen forgot, so they are making it for you now" or "we ran out, what other side would you like to replace it with?" ... instead it was like the waitress just forgot about the problem the instant she stepped away from our table. Once we finished eating, we asked for our bill, and even that took forever, or so we thought, because it took even longer for the waitress to cash us out. Yes, we clearly were not from around here, and we knew that from the way we saw other tables who had come in long after us, handled much more quickly and efficiently before being sent on their merry way. PROS: unique and fun atmosphere, expansive menu, food that ranged from very good to excellent CONS: if you were a local your service was 3-star typical-post-COVID-slow, but everyone else was bascially1-star ignored by the disinterested wait staff Overall I am going to rate Bandana's Bar & Grill as being OK I Guess and say that we might or might not return, but that is solely based on the strength of their kitchen. In reality, I doubt that my wife or any of our three children would be willing to return because the service was so bad.

    Brussel sprouts with feta and balsamic ~ daily special, appetizer
    B. G. J.

    This place was near an AirBnB we were staying in and after a long travel day, we didn't want to go far ~ So thankful we tried this gem! This is just a great spot for neighborhood comfort food and much more than the biker bar it looks like. The Brussel sprouts appetizer was the best Brussel sprouts we have ever had! They were roasted perfectly and then tossed with feta, balsamic vinegar, tomatoes and herbs. The portion size was unbelievable ~ plenty for four. This was a daily special so it is not on their regular menu. We also had the French onion soup, another daily special. Again, delicious! The caramelization of the sweet onions topped with the cheese was perfection. We were full from these appetizers but we did order Monday night regular menus options ~ Mac and Cheese with Chicken and Mac and Cheese with Cajun chicken. The sizes of these plates were huge! One serving is plenty for two. However, we enjoyed the leftovers! Spirits ~ there seemed to be plenty of draft options along with mixed beverages. Wine options were okay and their house cab was surprisingly good. Service was excellent. This locally owned place just celebrated their 20th anniversary!

    Excellent friendly service. Very kid friendly, but also fun for adults looking for a great place to watch a game. Delicious food, great menu options. Very clean!

    Onion strips

    My parents have RAVED about the quality of service and food at this place on multiple occasions so I finally decided to try it out. Our experience started off with walking in and having to wait 10 minutes for a table after making a reservation. Two different staff members had told us two different things and the communication was blatantly awful. After being seated we again waited 30 minutes just to put in our food and drinks and the drinks didn't come for another 10 minutes. At that point we were starving from the sun beating on us while sitting outside. We ordered an appetizer and that came nearly an hour after ordering. And about 5 minutes after that came our dinner. I had ran out of water almost immediately after getting it and my water was not filled up until I was almost done with my whole meal. The food itself was pretty disappointing. I got the island chicken quesadilla and while the flavor was good something about it was off. The tortilla did not go very well with the dish. This dish is also served with banana aioli on the side for dipping but I think for a more bbq based dish that is already a little sweet it adds too much sweetness, ranch would fare better in my opinion. The onion strips were amazing. I loved how crispy and variable the sizes were. My parents swear by the island chicken sandwich and they still love it. Overall decent place but the service is the reason this place is a 2. Being at a restaurant for 2 hours outside in the summer with little water and horrible service is just not how I want to spend a summer evening.

    The food and service was amazing! Family of four driving to camp and visit Niagara Falls. I ordered a plate that include Jamaican patty and jerk chicken... fabulous! My son thought the pizza was the best he ever had!! And the warm churros with Nutella finished off our delicious meal back at camp!!

    Beef and cheddar

    The absolute hidden gem of Youngstown Drinks and food are always so good Beef and cheddar or turkey and cheddar is the reason you will be coming back or anything on the menu honestly But check this place out! It will not disappoint and is very reasonable for the above average food

We didn't reserve in advance (which I now highly recommend). The wait was about an hour, but we passed the time at the nearby Churchill with a pre‑drink, and they texted us when our table was ready.

Service for both drinks and food was quick, and the cozy Irish pub atmosphere made it even better. Definitely try to reserve ahead on the website if you can.

Each did have a unique taste. A filling and interesting dish. Murphy's stout on tap was Devine. Wife found her NA Moscow mule good but, given no alcohol, she felt the serving volume was low. Less than $100 CA all-in seemed reasonable for a fairly authentic Irish meal.

Lots of IPA's, but lots of other styles available for a new brewery. They even have a high test stout and a tripel that will sneak up on ya (9+%). The food is not like the other Griffon Restaurants, with a smaller menu. The burgers are good-not-great, personally I'd avoid the chili sauce because it makes eating them a little messy. The chicken sandwich is SO GOOD. I've also tried the focaccia, pizza, wings, and house chips. There is even a salad and a non-meat burger for the vegetarian/ vegans. They have QR codes on the table so you can order via phone and leave your tab open, but they also have paper menus if you need / don't have cell service / don't want to use their free WiFi. They also have clothing and glassware merch and some styles in 4 packs to go, unsure if they do growlers tho. Overall it's a friendly place that's pretty new, I'd guess that it will continue to evolve into a Niagara County staple over time.
