    Second floor: Timeline of the history.
    Susan S.

    This is in the new West Side Bazaar, to replace the one that burned in 2022. The new location used to be a bootleg warehouse during Prohibition. Suitably, there's a bar on the first floor! Chef Big Wayne and his nephew Kyiree were happy to see us: Buffalo was bracing for another storm (1/22/25) and many chefs and customers had stayed home. Very friendly service, amazing aromas from the stove as the order was being prepared, and a quick filling of our order. We chose to eat in the comfortable food court, open daily 11-8pm. The food was delicious! Slow-simmered oxtail stew, caramelized from hours of cooking; a curried goat meal with carrots and potatoes perfectly seasoned and tender, with mac and cheese, with cabbage cooked with a hint of spice. The plantains were lovely. We also loved the Ting soda in pink grapefruit, and a sorrel/ginger soda, both Jamaican favorites.

    Absolutely the best! Jamaican food in the 716! Just enough spice to tingle, without overwhelming. Everything is made to order, so it takes a moment to get your food. Totally worth the wait.

    He was at the Diversity Festival recently, a festival that was all but rained out. I ordered oxtails...yummy! Hadn't had them in years they're not on many menus. The serving was large, with carrots and potato and served on a bed of rice. The takeout container was compostable: yay! As anyone knows who reads my reviews, I don't like disposable.

    Buffalo Catering Co did an amazing job catering my wedding this past weekend at the Botanical…read moreGardens. The staff were so attentive to myself and my groom; making sure we had a drink before we walked down the aisle, making sure they knew our drink preferences for the night, and several times seeking us out wherever we were with a readymade drink (mixed and just water) to make sure we were lubricated and hydrated. They also made us 6-8 covered plates of a sampling of all the catered foods and set it at our table for when we finally got to sit down AND they brought us and the wedding party hors d'oeuvres immediately after the ceremony while we were getting ready for photos. I had purchased one of those 7lb cans of luxardo cherries to go with cocktails for the night and of course got cherry juice on my fluffy white dress and one of the bartenders deftly and quickly saved my dress with some club soda too! Everything was beautiful and tasty and there were several compliments on the food. We already loved Joe's Deli and Buffalo Catering is even lovelier. Highly recommend you let them cater your wedding and suggest you ignore the review on here by a wedding attendee about running out of food. Running out of food is a planning mistake and not the fault of the caterer if they didn't know about the correct numbers or the family didn't take their advice and instead bought less that was suggested! Our food amounts were seemingly perfect as far as I can tell (as advised by the caterer based on our attendee numbers) and we did a grazing menu: a great variety of delicious slider sandwiches, a bruschetta bar, two orders of charcuterie, two orders of cheeses, vegetable and fruit plates, and four types of hors d'oeuvres with enough for each person to have at least 2 of each. Open bar package with beer, wine and cocktails as well. Again, can't say enough, they did a stupendous job and I felt so cared for and taken care of. PS: I don't have any photos of the sandwiches yet but I'm sure they exist. They were DELICIOUS!

    Great food and fast service! Rachel was super helpful, and they were able to cater a funeral…read moreservice for us with just a few days notice. It was incredibly helpful during a very stressful time and very appreciated! (Even in grief, the beef on weck sliders got rave reviews.) Thanks again.
