The wife and I went to Buffalo to see a Frank Lloyd Wright House, and afterwards we were hungry, so…read moreour friend suggested that we go to Hoak's Restaurant. it is located right on Lake Erie, and it was a perfect sunny warm day to eat there. I ordered a Hayburner IPA and my buddy got a Blue light. The deck outside is a great place on a day like today. My buddy ordered a Reuben sandwich. My wife ordered a Beef on Kimmelweck sandwich - a Buffalo classic. I ordered their famous fish sandwich on a roll. The piece of fish was huge so I had to eat some of it so I could fit it on a roll. I put some lemon on it and a little bit of tartar sauce and it was fantastic. Nice and crunchy and light. I had potato salad on the side that was great too. My buddy said his Reuben was great. And the wife loved her Beef on weck, especially all the salt and caraway seeds on top! I highly recommend eating there especially on a beautiful day where you can enjoy the lake outside!

We were there Monday afternoon for lunch. The large screen TVs were tuned to the FIFA games. We…read morestayed at the bar for the view. As an added bonus, there was a great view of Lake Erie and the whitecaps. The bartender was great at working the room, keeping everyone's drinks filled, and taking orders for the kitchen. Our appetizers were enormous, perfectly cooked, and attractively plated. I think next time I'd order the peel and eat shrimp without the Buffalo sauce (this is an option).

Had a good experience at this restaurant overall. We were seated right away at the first floor on a…read moreSunday evening. The first floor is casual dining, second is fine dining, and rooftop is bar only (kinda sad we couldn't eat on the rooftop). The atmosphere was great -- not too loud and baby/stroller-friendly. Portions were great for the prices. Would highly recommend the Hot Honey Pepperoni pizza and Bourbonzola burger (pizza was big for one person!). The waitstaff was kind, helpful, and gave us fast service. The only negative was the general location of the restaurant and look of the building. It seemed sort of industrial, even though the inside was far from that. A bit out of the way and close to a couple other buildings that hurt the ambiance in my opinion. Good experience! Will likely come back after dinner sometime for drinks overlooking the lake from the roof.

Had some wings for an event this evening and they unfortunately did not hit! I got the Dry Cajun…read morerub wings and they came out just salty with no flavor. I know the risk of dry rubs but this was a big miss. My server was so sweet and nice and deserves 5 stars! I wish I got her name to give her a shout out because she absolutely rocked! Ambiance and atmosphere was great for the event. Fun and inviting. Loved the show and ambiance of the whole event. Great job!

Have you been visiting the Tift Nature Preserve? This locale is within a mile of it on the other side of Hwy 5, and family friendly. The booths are tightly upholstered in a bright orange color. The decor is 45 records and old ice cream signs. Parking in front, and on a side lot off First Street. Delivery via Door Dash.

This place has got it! After a long night of work, I ordered some food to end the night with and it hit the spot. The burgers are always a hit here. I feel like the bun is soft and has a good flavor to it. The Buffalo chicken sandwich was so good! Messy but worth it for sure. The bun got a little soggy on the bottom from the sauce but otherwise, delicious. Service here is always fast and friendly. I ordered and only had to wait a few minutes it seemed before my food was ready. Will definitely be back for more here and at their Lancaster location too.

Strolled into Lancaster location during Fall Fest 2026 and loved the vibe walking in. Bartenders…read morewere Pros, and that I recognized immediately. I sipped on an Oktoberfest ( recommended by bartender) and ordered a Bluegrass Burger ( Double Smash, America Cheese, Maple Bacon Jam and Garlic Aioli )from Brunch menu.

The people in the kitchen really give an A+ effort and I am here to give them their props. I will definitely be back for that Chicken Sandwich with Pimento Cheese and candied bacon . Two Thumbs Up.

Very unorganized and def not friendly. Almost as if they're being bothered. I've been back several times and each time it's been basically empty (Sundays). Sometimes we don't even see a waitress and have to ask for one. One time the dishwasher came out to greet us, lol. The bartenders are more interested in scrolling on Snapchat than attending to customers. I only go back because of the scenery and chicken wing deals. The staff all need to be retrained or this place will close like the last ownership.

I was surprised to see such low reviews . While this place didn't blow me away and I'll always…read moreconsider it the old "Dock at the Bay", I didn't find it half bad . Beautiful spot to grab a cocktail and the sunset. (or in my case midget wrestling lol ) We decided to eat some dinner after the show . I got a scallop po-boy (which I never see , why not use scallops instead of the typical shrimp or catfish? ) with a side of baked beans while my cousin got chicken Alfredo . Both entrees were a decent portion and tasty . I won't give this place 5 stars only because the bathrooms needed some tidying up and our server went MIA when it came time to settle the bill and get takeout containers (we had another server hunt her down ) . With that being said, I would come back , especially in the summer for the view and a decent meal .

We couldn't decide where to go for fish fry friday. Wife saw my friend John Mulkern 's posts about…read moreRust Belt so we decided to give it a shot. Ended up sitting right next to him and his wife Holly at the bar for dinner. Menu and specials were amazing. So many options. Probably 10 things I wanted to try. Wife decided on the Mushroom Alfredo Pasta from the specials list and I stuck with the fish fry plan. Server suggested the panko fish and shrimp so I went on her recommendation. Both were delicious. Shrimps were huge. Not a fan of slaw but everything else was outstanding. John mentioned the white balsamic dressing was great and he was not wrong. We noticed banana pepper chicken soup after ordering and had to share a crock... amazing. Dining room was clean and comfy. Nicer than I expected having driven past it a million times. Service at the bar by Amber was outstanding! Peanut butter pie was delicious too. We wish they opened before 4:00 pm but we will be holding off our lunch plans to get back here again soon. Snapped a pic of John and Holly's meals too....

These are the best wings in Hamburg. I'm a Bar-Bill guy, to me Bar-Bill is the gold standard, and…read moreI still hold to that. However, Wanakah Grill has some of the best wings in the Southtowns outside of Bar-Bill. Bartenders are awesome here. This is a neighborhood place, but you won't feel like an outsider. The Beef on Weck is also quite good, although they use Costanzo's rolls like almost everyone else. I prefer a hard roll style for Beef on Weck, but I know that Costanzo's are standard around here now. But back to the wings, there is not a huge selection of exotic sauces, but the standard Buffalo Hot, while not raging hot, is of very high quality and not as vinegar-forward as most, which I appreciate. Mango Habernero is also a great option. By the way, 75 cent wings on Mondays.

Lucia's is hands down one of our favorite places to eat in all of Buffalo. The staff is always…read moreincredibly friendly (though the older dude we had last time was a little too customer service-y no matter how much we tried to just talk real) and the place has a close quarters but still calm and collected vibe. The food and drink are always exceptional. Whether you order off the regular menu or grab one of the specials, it's always exceptional. We've been several times now and gotten the cajun pasta, meatballs, fish of various sorts, crab rangoon appetizer, etc. Everything always comes out in a reasonable amount of time - never too fast or too slow - and is always solid. The cocktails are also on point with both the classics and a couple modern takes here and there. If I had to pick on anything (aside from trying to sell A5 Wagyu for $160 and claim it's breaking even), is the menu they put on their own website. Someone took a grainy cell photo and put it up there. Come on guys, some has the digital original. Just copy/paste. All in all, fabulous place that I can't say enough good things about. Make sure to get a reservation well in advance or you won't get in, especially on a busy night!

It is the responsibility of all business establishments to be good stewards in their respective…read morecommunities. Yesterday you failed miserably at this task. Friends of mine called to make reservations and asked for outdoor seating because the husband is undergoing chemotherapy and is severely immunocompromised. When told there was no outdoor seating they requested a table in a corner or away from the more congested areas of the restaurant. They were told no accommodations could or would be made. Shame on you! The food, the service, and the ambiance all become irrelevant when you fail the most important test: the ability to show a little human decency. Rest assured, I will never eat in your restaurant again nor will anyone I know. And your lucky my Italian grandmother is not still alive or I'd have her cast a spell on your heartless establishment.

Much to my surprise, there was a peppercorn Parmesan dressing available. 1/2 of it came home to be eaten later!
