Love this new location, hope they can stay once construction of the mall is done. Prices are much better than when we visited when they were on Main St, love the selection of tables, beers, haven't tried the food yet but might next time we go.

This is a cool place! Who would have ever expected to find a top-notch billards hall in a mall? They have pool tables, darts, shuffle board, etc. Plus a large bar in the center of the room with hard liquor, beer and seltzers. They even have a food menu in case you get hungry. The tables were all in great working condition. Some wear along the edges but that just gives them character. Prices were decent and I love love love that they have a little side room specifically for darts. It was nice to get a little privacy while playing (mostly because I suck).

Great host of Buffalo Foosball and our weekly tournaments! Nice selection of beer, energy drinks, a quick bite, etc.

Last minute change in plans brought me to this billiards location located inside the Eastern Hills mall . Clean , not too noisy yet still had the football game on . Nice availability of pool tables to rent by the hour . Cold drinks (both alcoholic and not ) available for purchase . Classic rock playing on the radio (earned 1 star on the rating right there ) . I ended up having a good time and even won both games I played .... So I guess this location is good luck !

Front entrance, inside mall.

Bision Billiards has officially moved its doors to the Eastern Hills Mall. The old Main street location (Near Bill Gray's) is now permanently closed! It's new location is inside the mall, facing Orvis, just left of JC Penny. If you enter through JC Penny, head into the main part of the mall, and it will be the second store front on your left. Additionally, try entering around the back side of the mall, walk past the Dipson Theatres and the DMV, then head right into the mall. Hours of operation are: Sunday - Thursday 1pm to 1am Friday & Saturday 12pm to 3am Cost appears to have remained the same: $5 for 1 person for 1 hr of play $4 ea for 2 people for 1 hr of play $10 Sunday - all you can shoot. *Unfortunately this does not include the Billiards table or the Snooker table. The newly built interior features the same tables from the old location. Some have been given new felt. New additions include a Snooker table and a Bumper Pool table. The Snooker table is well lit and plays smooth with a hint of soft. The brand new Bumper Pool table ($1, quarters only) is towards the back of the new location near a really nice Shuffle Puck table. There is also now a separate room for darts as well. The new bar area features the same great service, food, drinks, and a few new taps. There are now plugs, everywhere. So bring your mobile chargers! As of this writing, this location has only been open for 3 days. There is still a lot coming to this new location and I will wait to write a more complete review at a later date (after the pinball machines and Cornhole games get installed). ..... Expect an update!

So truth be told, I'm no pool expert. This is probably one of 4 times I played in my entire life. (Outside of iPhone messenger games of course) Let me tell you, I will for sure be back! Bison billiards is situated in the back corner of the eastern hills mall right next to JCpennys. For warning if you go during the evening, the mall entrances will be locked but their store has a specific door that you can enter and exit through. This door is on the back side of the mall. For only 10 dollars you and however many people you would like get a table for an hour. So say it's a group of 2, thats 5 dollars a person per hour. What a deal! They do have some beers to choose from if you'd like but these are just the classics of course. Also they have minimal food selection such as subs and appetizers. I also overheard the bartender that they have tournaments. If you want to take your pool skills to the next level, there are plenty of opportunities to do so here!

The characters of Willie Mosconi, Minnesota Fats and Fast Eddie Felson gaze down over a sea of blue and green felt. Many years have passed since their time and gone are the days of smoke-filled, whiskey soaked pool halls. Bison Billiards has a clean, smoke-free environment that features pool leagues and tournaments; snacks, beverages and a light menu; pool accessories and equipment; music and extended hours of operation. Rates are very reasonable. Owner Mike is always there to greet you with helpful info and a friendly handshake. Bison caters to players of all ages and skill levels. Check out their web page for store hours.

I had a very good time,both times I was there. No one bothers you and it doesn't have loud music playing so you can concentrate on the game.

These Wings are more a staple than the Bills in Buffalo. Yump; finger licking sauce, Est. 1940, a perfect melody of crispy wing, juicy meat & succulent sauce. I'm i drooling?

All in All pleasure to have had the experience. & you bet your bottom dollar. Any time im in Bills Country, it's a stop @ Dufs for wings, beef on wick & a brew.

We were caravaning with a group of eight on a road trip to Toronto and decided a stop for some authentic Buffalo wings was mandatory before crossing the border. Duff's ended up being the perfect choice, especially with multiple cars since they have their own parking lot and were conveniently located not too far off our route. Inside there was plenty of seating for both small and large groups. We were able to push several tables together in the main dining room so all eight of us could sit together. Service was excellent. Since we were still on a schedule to get to Toronto, we appreciated how quickly the servers got everyone's orders in, and the food came out wicked fast. We went for the full Buffalo experience with several orders of wings in different flavors and heat levels, a few beef on wecks, and some Duff's beer. The wings definitely lived up to the hype. They were large, well sauced, and my medium had just the right amount of heat. Everyone who went hotter was equally impressed with the flavor. The beef on weck was another hit, packed with tender roast beef and plenty of flavor. Overall, a great experience and an easy recommendation if you're looking for classic Buffalo wings and beef on weck.

They have gluten free rolls if you want a sandwich but everything else will have gluten, thus the Cesar salad without the croutons. It's very pricey as well. My side salad and side order of the Boxty potatoes came to $19 before the tax. With tax and tip - $25. You could get other salads without croutons or wheat as well. I really wanted to try the vegetarian shepherds pie but couldn't because the server said there's wheat in the gravy. They have no gluten free beers as far as I could tell and no mocktails.

However, after being seated on the patio, we waited about 20 minutes before a server came over. Drinks also took quite a while to arrive. I ordered a brown sugar bourbon cocktail, but it was disappointing--basically just tasted like straight bourbon with little to no flavor. For food, I tried the Reuben poutine appetizer ($20). Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the price. The cheese seemed very processed--hard to even describe, and definitely not what I expected. The fried Reuben itself was just okay, but overall it felt overpriced for what it was. In the end, I wouldn't necessarily discourage someone from trying it, but it's not somewhere I'd personally return to. The experience just didn't match the cost or leave much of a positive impression.
