I've had much better experiences here than I have at the south towns location. This location almost feels like two separate restaurants the way the space is laid out. There is the bar side with booths with one style of decor and the other side has chairs that have a more "country" vibe to them. The service and food quality seem to be more consistent and overall better here. Salad bars are better stocked, replenished and cleaned. The soups seemed to not be as watery/watered down. Ordering the soup/salad bar here felt like more like you can get your moneys worth just from the soups alone. They are known for their soup/salad bar and this location shows why. I love the chicken wing soup. Packed with flavor and loads of ingredients. The menu has everything from Buffalo favorites to comfort food entrees. Truly a place where everyone in your party can and will find something they love to eat. Definitely check this place out if you love Buffalo food or are a fan of salad bars. read more

The best part of my dinner was the waitress, Kelly. She was very friendly, even sitting down next to me, briefly. I ordered the Cajun Ranch chicken. My husband had the "endless" soup and salad bar. Kelly "approved" and said he should have at least 6 cups of soup(He had 4.) My dinner was a chicken pattie with Cajun seasoning on it, a slice of beefsteak tomato and melted mozzarella cheese with chopped scallions sprinkled over it. I picked a baked potato; the vegetable was green beans. The potato came with a container of butter and one of sour cream. The beans were al dente!!! I liked my chicken, although I thought there could have been a second pattie. The Cajun seasoning is very good. Kelly was attentive and funny. It was a very nice dinner! read more

I have such a hit and miss relationship with this place. Another random dinner adventure had us here again, as the soups were all sounding pretty good to us. I know in the past I've dinged them for not serving satisfactory bleu cheese well someone must have heard it because I got good bleu this time with my mild wings, the downside being that they were a tad soggy. The misses chicken finger sub was huge and was enough for lunch the next day. The tenders , yep. Same. Crispy and good. I know we will be back sometime in the future, as this place just seems to check the marks for a decent meal. read more

They are known for their unlimited soup and salad bar. One of the soups I looked forward to was the chicken wing soup. It did not disappoint. A great Frank's hot sauce flavor. There are always 4 soups; besides the wings soup the choices were meatball gnocchi, chicken vegetable and beef on weck soup. They were all very (temperature) hot. I liked the meatball/gnocchi one. It's tomato based with lots of small meatballs and gnocchi. I think it was over salted. The waitress actually asked me if I agreed with her about that. The beef on weck soup was okay too. The chicken vegetable was okay, lots of chicken but not too much taste. The salad bar is very nice with lots of choices for add on: pepperoncini, pickled beets, Cole slaw, 3 bean salad, mushrooms and more. Also 4 different dressings. read more

The food here is fine. Nothing spectacular, but not disappointing either. If you get the fisherman's platter, I recommend that you don't get it deep-fried because they put a breadcrumb batter That is very hard to pierce although the fish or scallops inside it is quite tender. The soups here on the unlimited soup and salad bar are marvelous. The spicy chicken wing soup is by far my favorite, but they had a very nice beef barley, turkey noodle and a New England clam chowder that were fine as well. Our waitress Jill was fantastic. She came by the table and refilled our drinks regularly and got all of the orders right. This place fills up quickly creating an atmosphere of conviviality and neighborly interaction. This restaurant located right next to the Buffalo International Airport, looks small from the outside, but is enormous on the inside. The menu is deep enough to satisfy every taste. read more

Ordered a friday beer battered fish fry, came with fries, small tarter, and lemon wedge. Starting with fries, they were very good, good size and not burned. Now the fish, great size but came with so much grease you could almost see it oozing out of beer batter like sweat from a fat man's forehead on a hot humid New Orleans night. I couldn't even eat 30 % of it. Took rest home and greased garage door roller wheels with the fish. Door slides easily and quietly so repurposing fish fry saved a call to Buffalo Overhead Door read more

Stopped in for the "express lunch," and it delivered exactly what a Buffalo comfort‑food lunch should. The small beef on weck with chips was classic and satisfying, but the real star was the endless soup and salad bar. The cream of mushroom soup was exceptional -- rich, deeply flavorful, and easily one of the best versions I've ever had. The salad bar was spotless and well‑stocked, with plenty of fresh options. They don't put blue cheese dressing out, but ask for it -- it's fantastic. The homemade croutons are another quiet little triumph. Despite a busy lunch rush, service stayed friendly, efficient, and genuinely attentive. Prices are very reasonable for the amount and quality of food you get. A dependable, no‑frills Buffalo staple that knows exactly what it does well -- and does it really well. read more

This was my first visit to Danny's, and I was impressed. The menu can feel a bit intimidating at first, but the servers are friendly, patient, and very helpful. The restaurant is much larger inside than it appears from the outside. If you're coming with a large group, consider carpooling since parking is limited. There's an incredible amount to choose from. The extensive menu includes a salad bar with hot soups, sandwiches, fried fish, and more. I ordered the Buffalo Weck Buffalo (similar to beef on weck), which features an amazing burger and comes with your choice of fries, fruit, or chips. Everything was delicious. Definitely give them a try! #HappyEating read more

The staff and the owner at this location are completely incompetent - shockingly inept! A complete "WOW" encounter.... Such outlandish exchanges...felt ludicrous postings on Yelp as it was frankly so shocking, it was just plain stupidity. However, re-evaluated that reservation because other customers SHOULD be warned about what they will be paying for. I wish we had been forewarned. Was starting to question if it was something in the water supply at the restaurant that the employees and owners are all ingesting or possibly air supply concerns inside their building causing their staff delirium? You ask how could any one person be so clueless, and then ....it happens not once, not twice, but THREE times! Knock it outta the park team - yay!!!! Either we were very lucky to get such "great service" 3 times in a row (I'm being facetious); or this place holds the record for the most intellectually lacking staff in Buffalo!!! Disorganized and unprofessional cluster mess going on....at the Danny's Airport (Cheektowaga) Location. With so many amazing "mom & pop" restaurants in the Buffalo area to dine at - yea, GO ELSEWHERE! Stupidity is abounding! Disappointing encounter - will not be returning. read more

In all the years me and my best friend have lived here, we never tried Danny's ... and we have been missing out! I ordered the fish sandwich and added on the soup and salad. It was way too much food for me but I felt very inclined to try this soup and salad bar set up. I'm not typically a soup girl, aside from my own delicious chicken and rice, so I wasn't expecting to love their soup so much but I did. There are 4 choices and they change them EXCEPT I think they always have their chicken wing soup. So I sampled each soup: chicken wing, pizza, chicken pot pie, and lentil. I really loved their homemade croutons too, which even included some made from rye bread that paired perfectly with the lentil. My favorite soup was actually the pizza soup (which I expected not to like at all!) and my second favorite was the chicken wing soup. The salad was bar was decent, included pasta salad and garlic breadsticks and some other type of flavored slice bread I didnt get to try as I was too full. My fish sandwhich was great ... it does have toppings, but I requested mine plain. Fries were good too, although I only ate 2 because I was too full for this as well lol. My friend enjoyed his meal too although I can't remember what he got. Plenty of seating and at least 6 handicap pparking spots. Waitress and hostess was nice - didn't interact with bartender but she was nice to the people she did interact with. Ambiance is casual and sort of old fashioned but with good food and service it's a small sacrifice! Soft drinks are Coke products. read more

I had a delivery. Ordered pecan salad- no blue cheese and no ranch dressing I ordered, no dressing at all!! Ordered liver with 2 grilled SLICES of onions- didn't get- got mushy fried onions and circles of bacon??? Potato was hardly cooked and had to put in microwave for 4 minutes just to cut it open. Ordered extra butter and sour cream and didn't get it. Cherry pie is tasty but so small for $8.99. I felt like I got robbed!!! read more

Danny's is a favorite neighborhood staple. I hadn't been there in a while, but for me, they have never disappointed. I got the turkey dinner special. It was something like $22 or so. Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. Also included the soup and salad bar for free instead of the regular $6 up charge. The soup and salad are so good (4 soups to choose from) that I took the whole turkey dinner home. Delicious. It's like that corner bar meets home style cooking. And ALWAYS get the chicken wing soup! read more

Went out for dinner the other night since neither of us felt like cooking. Which is probably the best reason to go out for food. We liked Danny's from the last time we got it. I got just a normal burger this time with fries. My wife got a chicken sandwich with some of their chicken vegetable soup. My burger was cooked exactly how I wanted and it was delicious. The toppings were great too with the cheese melted to perfection and the lettuce tasted fresh and crisp. My one drawback was the fries. They were good. But it felt like we should've had a few more for the meal. Service was excellent! I ordered ahead and when I went to pick up, it was hot and ready to go. I was out the door in lightning speed. Overall, it's a great little spot to get a meal that tastes like a home cooked dinner when you don't feel like cooking for yourself. read more

I got the Stake in the grass for the cheap unlimited salad and soup. The salad was sad iceberg lettuce and some pieces were moldy. I let the server know, but nothing was done about it. The soup is always good, but the stake was watery, underseasoned and a sad excuse for meat, very small for the price. The waitress was short with us and we saw none of her during our time here. read more

I've been coming here for years with multiple people raving about how great Danny's buffalo chicken wing soup is because that's what it's known for in Buffalo. Seem to take a turn for the worse Don't think I'm ever coming back here again. First time I heard buffalo chicken wings soup but there's no chicken in it. There was a few potatoes I found so basically it was hot potato soup. I had five bowls of soup and I felt like I was fishing in a lake with no fish. I even said something to the waitress who did not seem in good spirits and really didn't seem to care about our complaint read more

I love Danny's, and have been here many times for both lunch and dinner. I especially love the soup and salad bar, and I usually just get that as my meal. I'm addicted to their Buffalo Wing soup, and just thinking about it makes me hungry. There's always 4 soups to choose from, and many salad toppings. Additionally, there's usually antipasto salad, potato salad, and a 1-2 other salads to choose from. They'll also bring freshly baked breadsticks to your table if you ask. Service here is usually pretty good too. Highly recommend Danny's for a great meal, and their fantastic Buffalo Wing soup. read more

Danny's is our go-to when we're in the mood for an AYCE salad bar in our neck of the woods. Danny's is known for their soup and salad bar. Alone it costs $14.99. Or for $4.99 you can add it to any meal. Being the forever cheap'o that I am, I almost always order a cheese quesadilla for $10.99 and add the salad bar, for a total of $15.98. That way it feels like I paid 99-cents for the cheese quesadilla on top of the salad bar. :-D I love an excellent salad bar, and Danny's is pretty good. But I'm docking a star for a few suggested areas of improvement: ** One mark of an excellent salad bar that Danny's is missing is eggs. For $14.99, adding some chopped eggs or hard-boiled eggs seems like a reasonable ask, especially since egg prices are starting to level out again. ** A fantastic salad bar usually has more than one cheese option, too. Danny's usually just has shredded mozzarella. A crumbly blue and/or feta would be great. ** Black and/or green olives are missing from the line-up too, also a staple of a top-notch salad bar. ** And all of the soups are typically meat-based--even the vegetable soups. As a vegetarian I have yet to have any of Danny's soups. The salad bar usually include five or six soups. It would be nice if on occasion one of them was vegetarian, like if the vegetable soup or cheddar broccoli soup was made with vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for a change. (Or, hear me out, make your famous chicken wing soup base with vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and use cauliflower instead of chicken for a vegetarian version of your famous soup! Doesn't hurt to ask, haha.) None of these seem like too tall of an order, as the only reason I mention it is other great salad bars I am familiar with include these options, and sometimes many more. So I'm just throwing it out there. But by and large, my husband and I are usually pretty happy when we land at Danny's for a salad bar dinner. The restaurant has that friendly local-Cheers sort of vibe, parking is easy, and prices are reasonable. So we'll be back to Danny's again when we're in the mood to mow-down on some endless greens. read more

Good Easter Brunch. Service was great and I love a salad bar. Definitely a good choice for a holiday meal that doesn't cost a fortune. Nice touch by adding Easter Candy throughout the restaurant to scoop with a spoon - that was a fun addition. I'd come back but would like more options on the menu. The atmosphere is okay - they could use some repairs on the floors. read more

We went to Danny's for the first time in quite a few years and what a terrible disappointment. It's a shame how far this once excellent restaurant has fallen. The first thing that hits you is the aweful smell and just how dirty everything is now. We of course did the once famous soup and salad bar to much discuss... The chicken wing and potato soups was terrible. The soups were so bad we couldn't eat them. The salad bar had old wilted lettuce and tomatoes. The bread and croutons were stale and the cucumbers were slimy. Beware that the restaurant is definitely in need of a life line... read more

We were driving around Buffalo and the suburbs trying to find a place to go to dinner on a Saturday night. Like Goldilocks, we drove to two different restaurants with no luck. The first one was too crowded, the next one was loud and with limited food, and then we decided to go to Dannys. Even though many people in the area are familiar with this restaurant, this was my first visit. Upon walking in, the place was relatively quiet and we were seated immediately. The food was decently priced, but you do get what you pay for. The rum and coke had a lot of ice, the draft beer was comparatively pricey, the steak was incredibly good, and so was liver and onions was decent. Also, many are fond of their soup and salads specials, which is generally a good deal. If you are looking for a place to go for a good meal, for something more low key, and to support a local business which has been a local favorite, I'd recommend coming here. Also, I'd recommend coming here if you are looking for a well made steak for a decent price (roughly $20). read more

First, I have no complaints with the servers. They were personal and attentive. Also, the Mushroom-Swiss burger along the skin-on fries (not homemade) were enjoyed by another person in my party. Now on to the bad: For most of the menu, it lacked of originality and freshness. I was considering the Italian pasta dishes and asked the server if the sauce was homemade. She wrinkled her nose and said, "No, it's from a can." Hard pass on that! I ended up with their "famous soup and salad bar" and was disappointed with my choice. The lettuce was a bag salad consisting mosty of white iceberg lettuce. There was no other variety offered. While the salad bar came recommended, I was disappointed in choices of toppings (beets/chick peas/grape tomatoes/broccoli/carrot coin slices/purple onion slices/white mushroom slices/sliced banana peppers) all of which lookrd prepackaged and were tasteless. If you can envision a Sizzler, Ponderosa or Golden Corral salad bar, this was not that! There were 4 options of salad dressing (French/Ranch/Italian/Balsamic)., I inquired about Bleu Cheese (this is Buffalo remember) and they told me it was for an upcharge of $1 for 2 spoonfuls. I finished the salad bar off with canned diced peaches in heavy syrup. I want to mention there was also an oil based Italian pasta salad that looked like you could buy it in the grocery store deli. Now on to the soup bar: My options included two cream based concoctions, chicken wing soup and fajita meatball, The CW soup had a good base flavor but large 2" cubes of potatos overtook the CW flavor and turned it into a potato-CW soup. The fajita-meatball soup fell victim to the same thing and lacked flavor. The other two soups (yes, I tried all of them in the very small soup cups provided) were a Turkey-Barley soup and a Beef Florentine soup. The TB soup, while having potential, was bland and lacked any spices including salt &pepper. I finished off with the BF soup which had a good taste but was overrun with sliced carrots. If you got carrots on your spoon, the BF flavor was gone and it became Carrot Soup. Potatos would have been a good addition here. All-in-all, the food was not of a quality for either one of us to want a return visit. read more

My husband and I frequently go to Danny's on Fridays. They have delicious fish fry's. Today ( Thursday) we went to Danny's.... Soooo disappointed. I ordered the turkey dinner. The turkey was definitely turkey cold cut that was sliced thicker. Not fresh turkey. They gave about 4 - 4 inch pieces on top of a ton of stove top stuffing.... YES stovetop stuffing. I told the waitress I was surprised they use stovetop and that I hate it. She took it back told the cook and they removed it from my plate. Now my plate looked empty. My husband ordered stuffed shells. The shells had hardly any cheese in them . They gave 5 shells and you could easily tell they were frozen shells just heated. WHAT HAPPENED TO DANNYS?? $51.00 and it was a terrible meal! I won't be going back. There are way too many restaurants that serve fresh food and a lot more appealing and appetizing for $22 a plate. 0 stars if it allowed read more
