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

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

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

Service was excellent when a friend and i ate there. My reuben was loaded with meat, and was delicious! Friend's summer lunch special was a chicken wrap with strawberries, another great choice. Plastic straws and noisy environment led to 4 stars rather than 5. 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

Came here for a quick drink at the bar before flight (because airport drink prices are so much more) We sat at the bar and enjoyed drinks (I was DD so I got an iced tea) Had an amazing hostess that was super friendly and had lots of amazing advice for us. Will definitely come back for some food next time! read more

Haven't been here since I was a kid. Came here for a fish fry which was really good. The salad bar was great and of course the soups were fantastic. Both the clam chowder and spicy buffalo wing soup were fantastic. The server was super friendly. Definitely want to come back and try some other things on the menu 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

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

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

Came to Danny's for a Celebration of life and the staff went far and beyond what you would expect. At the spot he would sit they placed a beer and pic of him Dancing with his wife.

Got the taste of buffalo with fingers and beef on wick excellent came with tons of fries 10 out of 10

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

We had Thanksgiving dinner 2025 at Danny's. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. Salad bar was great and the turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and bread were delicious. Hadn't been back to Danny's for a couple years and we decided to go back this year for Thanksgiving. It did not disappoint. We recommend this great establishment. read more

Excellent salad bar, good food, nice atmosphere. Service was good and prompt. Clean and attentive.

Very friendly staff and food is pretty decent. Love the salad bar and soup. Even though our first visit here, but somewhat, this cozy place made us feel we're at second home!! I'll be back again if I'm back in town! 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

This place has gone so far down hill that the health department should shut it down! The food including the soup and salad bar is plain disgusting.. Too bad. It was such a fantastic restaurant and pleasant dinner location. But no longer! 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

This place is old school inside but with modern high prices. For example, their bowl of chicken wing soup is good, but for $7.56 it's way over priced. 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

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

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

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

Best soup and salad bar in Buffalo, and best Chicken Wing soup (with their homemade croutons!) in Buffalo. They have an awesome kids menu, and one of the only places that has a kid's fish fry on the menu, which is awesome for my absolutely fish obsessed kiddo! 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

We were in Buffalo, NY for the weekend. We stayed at a hotel across from the airport on Genessee St. Note: Also have another Danny's in Orchard Park. The hotel courtesy driver recommended Danny's. She told us that it would be best to make a reservation for Fri or Sat night dining. So we stopped in at 4pm, had a drink and made our dinner reservation for 6pm. Hours: Sunday: 12:00 PM - 8:00 PM Monday: 11:00 AM - 8:00 PM Tuesday: 11:00 AM - 8:00 PM Wednesday: 11:00 AM - 8:00 PM Thursday: 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM Friday: 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM Saturday: 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM We moved our reservation from a table to the bar. We were greeted by the friendly bartender, Melinda. She brought our drinks ($8ea), menus and answered all our questions. Danny's has Fish Fry Fridays and "Buffalo's Favorite soup (4 choices, including Buffalo Wing Soup) & salad bar ($15.99"). We had two very good meals. My bride had the sirloin steak 8 oz.($19) cooked medium as she ordered it, with potato & mixed veg. I had the oxymoron vegetable pasta w/ Italian sausage ($18) - served hot, tasty, and an extremely generous dinner. Yes, I did take half to go. A very good value for our dinners. We had a very nice time at this friendly spot for locals and visitors. Melinda was friendly & helpful during our two hours visit. Thank you. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY read more

Great food, great prices, and great wait staff. I'd go more often but it gets so crowded.... that's how you know the food is good though. So we usually go there during the week and there is no waiting as the place is really large. There is a bar and sometimes your table is near it which I don't like as it gets noisy, but the good food makes up for it. You can't compare their fish frys, or their roast beef on weck. Out of this world. And to top it off they have an all you can eat soup and salad bar. As per another review, there was never a smell in there and we go there often. It's always clean and the wait staff are out of this world, The ambiance is wonderful. As I read the few reviews I shake my head. Are we talking about the same place? I go to the one in Cheektowaga. This is not a high-end restaurant like The Cheese Factory, or some other high class place. This is a bar with excellent food. I'm a germ freak and I wouldn't go to a dirty place. I love Danny's. read more

We arrived here for my girlfriend's birthday dinner with her parents and it was phenomenal. We walked in and were seated immediately with our choice of a booth or table. It seems like a family type of restaurant. There is a bar right at the door that you can sit at. The noise level is average and the seats are pretty close together. Servers are very attentive and don't give you a hassle. Their soup and salad bar is fantastic with plenty of choices! I was so impressed, I forgot to take pictures, but I will be back! I ordered the filet mignon that came with mashed potatoes and carrots. The steak was cooked to my exact desires and tender. The mashed potatoes came with a gravy that I really enjoyed! The carrots are soaked in a butter water, I would've passed on those, but they cannot be substituted. read more

Haven't been here for over 2 years. We were seated by a friendly wait staff. We both had the quick lunch option. Soup, salad bar and mini beef on weck. Soup choose of 4 types, all very good, salad bar was good too, coming from someone who doesn't do salads. And my beef on weck was good. The food here never fails. But the staff makes it wonderful, friendly and helpful. I can't say anything bad about this restaurant. Food is great, people are great. We will be back. We were blessed today by a 3 top that sat next to us today. A gentleman and a couple sat next to us. They paid and left before us, the waitress came over in a few minutes and told us that the table next to us paid for mine and my brides meal. Yes you got it ringer.!!!!!! It does happen.
