    This is a picture of the potato skins we were served as part of a combo platter. T

    These potato skins seemed to be very old and reheated several times. Not to mention they were burned. They were disgusting. The fact that they had the nerve to serve these is amazing. We will not be back here. Save your money and find a different place to eat.

    As our adventure continues in search of the best of WNY restaurants for soups and chili's we found this little gem last night. Tucked away and nestled in the quiet little town of Elma, New York about 14 miles East of the city of Buffalo, this amazing place has it all. We had reservations for 6 and we seated right away. Jen our server was fast, funny and the kindness lady. Soup! What do they have for soups? Wow, French Onion, Buffalo Chicken Wing, a very delicious vegetable and mushroom. Absolutely , outstanding! Our group ordered fish fry's to their fried bologna sandwich and a huge plate of goulash. I can write on about the Elma Towne Grille however , better yet, stop in and check them out. Thank you Jen and the crew at Elma Towne Grille for a wonderful evening. We are heading out again today for this amazing journey. Come join us. Sincerely, our team at The Essence of Travel and Discoveries, a KAMAR Media film production company.

    Portions, portions and more portions. I have never been here and have passed it a few times, but decided to come here on our way to Marilla Country Store. I ordered the blt cheeseburger quesadilla. I thought a nice small lunch, boy I was wrong. I was huge and about an inch thick. It was very good but only could eat 2 on the slices. I also tried the sweet potatoe jalapeno soup. Was very good and sweet, there was not heat from the jalapeno. My Hubby had the cuban. He could only eat half. And the Fries - covered 3/4 of the plate so he had enough to share with me. Food was delicious and came out quickly. Services was good as well. This may be a new go - to place. They have a large menu which helps with choices.

    Elma Towne Grille was good. There appeared to only be one girl hosting and waiting, and it took me awhile to place my order, but the food was delicious! My only issue was that my wine was served in a glass that felt like it had a grittiness feel to it (probably residue from the dish detergent) and the waitress brought back a new glass for me. I'd go back there.

    First time at the Elma Towne Grille. Decided to try the Lenten fish fry. Waited not even 5 minutes before 6PM and was sat in the bat area. The atmosphere was great as it was not loud and the conversation was easily heard. Ordered quickly and received the food within 10 minutes! The beer batter was a golden crisp color, the fries were just the perfect amount of crisp, and the cole slaw and mac salads were delicious! The lemon.pepper broiled was ordered as well and was cooked to perfection! So much food and will come.back for sure!

    Picked up a regular fish fry and an order of potato pancakes at ETG. We haven't eaten here in years, even though it's only about a mile from our house. Both items totaled a little under $23.00. Seems a little high for a fish fry. The fish was pretty large and crispy. The batter was a good thickness but lacked seasoning. The fish was flaky and cooked well. The fresh cut fries were thinly cut, greasy and a bit overdone. The coleslaw was great with the right amount of flavor and mayo-based sauce. The macaroni salad used large shells and had celery and egg with mayo. I added salt and it was pretty good. I actually really liked the larger, thicker pasta. The potato pancakes were crispy and tasty, albeit a bit salty. The sour cream and apple sauce accompanying the pancakes were perfect and made each bite a little more balanced (from the saltiness).

    I have only been here once to eat with my family, and it was great. The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars, is because of the to go order I ordered, and the condition it was in when I picked it up. You can see in my pictures, it wasn't pretty. The fish fry is falling through the container. The food was correctly made and good. It's just the condition. I picked it up early, so it wasn't sitting around, and the trip back home was 6 minutes, so it wasn't a waiting time issue. I will go back here to physically eat, but I do t think take out from here again is an option for me. Nice big place and plenty of parking. They are short staffed, which is everywhere, so be patient.

    ETG has long been a go-to for my dad, as it's close to home, and more importantly, he likes their giant reubens. So when he's in the mood to get together for lunch I gladly venture out to Elma. Their food menu is huge, loaded with the usual crowd-pleasing fare. Nothing exotic or trendy - just good old traditional American staples. I appreciate their offering a "half" fish fry, which is still plenty big, and on the menu every day. Tiny selection of wines, but as our server put it, "It gets the job done." My glass of Cabernet was a very generous pour, and probably reasonably priced. (Since Dad was treating, I didn't see the check, and if the price was listed on the menu, I missed it.) Our server was really nice, and so accommodating. Brought us extra napkins and takeout boxes without our having to ask. I've been here so many times over the years, for lunch, dinner, holiday buffets and catered events. No hesitation recommending this place for a dependable meal at a fair price.

One tip if you're going for the band playing in the front room: don't sit on the enclosed patio. Even with the door open you really can't hear the music from there. I stayed and finished dinner of course because the Reuben was absolutely delicious. One funny moment was being served a beer in a Solo cup. At first it caught me off guard, but honestly with how slammed they were I totally understood -- I wouldn't want to be doing all those extra dishes either. After dinner I moved inside to try to actually hear the band. I ended up seated near the bathrooms, and unfortunately there was a pretty unpleasant smell in that area. Not sure if it was coming from the bathrooms because of how close the table was, but it definitely wasn't the best spot to sit. The hostess who sat me asked if I wanted a drink and I said yes, but about 20 minutes later someone else came over to ask me what I wanted again. I completely get that they were busy, so I'm not upset about it -- but the drink unfortunately never made it to the table. Overall, the food was great and the place clearly draws a crowd for live music, but seating location really matters if you're there for the band

For our sides we tried the mac and cheese, pasta salad, baked beans, mash potatoes and sweet potatoe fries. Everything was good and would get again, except the crab cakes. These were just not good, very fishy, and burnt. The pizza logs were huge! The Mac and cheese had no seasoning, but was cheesy and after little salt and pepper wasn't to bad.
