Not much to say, as it's just a friggen gas station with a deli. It will always hold a special place in my heart, however, being that this defined Main St in some ways on south campus.

It doesn't help the "new Franks" that there is a 7-11 directly across the street. Hopefully the new owners can make a go of it in this competitive, low-profit business that depends on sale volume.

So, if you are right around Main & Amherst, its pretty much the only one. As a result they can have prices slightly higher than those others, which are close to other stations so have more competition etc.

It's a perfectly decent gas station with average prices, I haven't seen any awesome discounts here, but I haven't seen it higher than elsewhere either. The cops often wait at this intersection or nearby to get people for doing 45+ in a 35, mainly students since this area is packed with student housing, so be really careful. As an aside, I'm not sure what sort of sport you would do while drinking Miller Lite, but whatever it would be, would be a MillerSport.

I've probably only been there once this year, though, and that's because the gas prices here are just too high for me. Delta Sonic and a few random Mobils and Sunocos are usually a good few cents cheaper, and don't get me started on the Indian Reservations in Akron, Sanborn, and Irving. There's a Gulf in class between some gas stations, and this has become one I usually don't frequent anymore.

I mean, it has so much going for it. Whereas No-Co just has, um... gas pumps. This is the UB North location of NOCO in the sense that it's always filled with college students. The reason it scores lower than other NOCOs is because it has the same issues (slightly overpriced, and too busy), but with the added caveat of having one particularly unpleasant (male) cashier that seems angry every time you get something rung up by him. The other employees are okay. But there are much cheaper places to get gas anyway (try the reservation out by Akron).

I feel like me posting this might have a nocon effect

Is it a go or is it a NOCO

It's literally just steps away from the KeyBank Center, making it an ideal pre-game spot. The beer selection is excellent, with tons of options to choose from. My favourite was the Raspberry Wheat, it was super refreshing and packed with flavour. The ladies behind the bar were also kind enough to let me try a couple of different samples before I made my decision, which is always appreciated. For food, I ordered the Blackened Chicken Sandwich. To be honest, it wasn't quite the style of blackened chicken I'm used to. It felt more like grilled chicken with Cajun seasoning than a true blackened preparation. That said, it was still a very enjoyable sandwich. The chicken was juicy, full of flavour, and not dry at all, and the bacon was cooked exactly the way I like it. The fries were nicely seasoned and paired perfectly with the meal. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere with plenty of seating and lots of TVs, including some absolutely massive screens, making it a great place to catch other games while enjoying a beer. Great beer, good food, friendly service, and an unbeatable location for Sabres fans. I'll definitely be back! For more food, brewery, and travel reviews, check out our YouTube channel A&M Roam!

We ordered take out on the website and arrived a bit early (4:15 on a Saturday). We grabbed drinks at the bar and they were delicious! I especially loved the drink I had with smoke infused rye! If you order takeout, note you can go right in and up to the register (you don't need to wait in line). The line formed and was outside the door when we arrived! There was seating options inside and outside and all staff was helpful and kind. When we got home to dig in, we were amazed at the melt in your mouth bbq! We got the Texas Trinity to share with the Brisket Biriyani and beans as our side. The biriyani was a rice with brisket and amazing flavor. I'm not usually a huge rice lover but truly enjoyed this! The ribs were to die for and fall off the bone and the kielbasa was delicious! We also got a side of cardamom cornbread ( melt in your mouth!) and the cowboy Mac which my boyfriend absolutely loved. For dessert we got the cinnamon roll which was ginormous but good! Overall, amazing experience, food, and drink even with take out! We'll be back!

Very friendly, patient and helpful employees (apologies to the very kind woman at the counter, because when I'm excited I tend to chatter a lot). The baked goods were delicious, the whole grain toast was hearty and so full of flavor. The croissant was large, flaky and buttery. My husband's apple cake was moist and the frosting was perfect.
