Edit: Received this…read morecompliment from the owner, calling my review phony and re-assuring me how great his food is: "All we have to say to this phony review is "Voted best burger in WNY by Yelp 2014". It's pb&bj=WTF" Not a good way to respond to criticism in my opinion, so I'm adding it to the review and also lowering from 2 stars to 1 star based on the accusation that my 100% honest review was "phony". Actually should have been a 3 originally because I almost never rate family-owned businesses less than 3 out of common courtesy. Having said that most family businesses don't come out and call me a liar. Also based on that response, I definitely won't be giving it the benefit of the doubt and giving it another try, regardless of how much some of my friends, or the people of WNY, or the owner himself, loves the food here. ***** I had a seizure when I tried this food. My friend suggested they change their name to Foaming Buffalo because one taste and I was foaming at the mouth in disgust. But seriously, no. I really, really, really don't like this place. I had half a burger - which compared to Vizzi's or Ruzzine's or Mooney's (or even a Big Mac) was very disappointing. I had my own order of "Buffalo Poutine" because it sounded so exciting! And it was so damn expensive too grr. So Buffalo Poutine is basically... really bad french fries that taste like frozen oven fries. Really bad crumbly bleu cheese on top of them. That tastes awful. And then some very sharp tasting Frank's Hot Sauce poured all over them. The end. I couldn't taste any butter in the sauce at all. It tasted (a) awful, (b) lazy, and (c) how much did I pay for this omg? And so because of the price and the very high rating from everyone else and how thoroughly disappointed I was, I have to give them an awful rating. I've said this again and again but Buffalo food trucks are reeeeally not that good in the main and they're also very overrated (Lloyd's, I'm looking squarely at you). I'm not one of those people who thinks that food trucks are automatically a lower standard than restaurants. I LOVE food trucks. Nobody loves them more, I might even say. My 2nd fave place to eat in Seattle and in San Diego: food trucks. A Taco Bus and German Mariscos Taco Truck more specifically. And Tazo Nazo in Columbus. Omg one of the best ever. And then there's the Halal Carts, especially Sammy's, and Biryani Cart, all in NYC. Some of my fave places in Rochester and Philly are trucks. My fave in Pitt? India On Wheels food truck! Cleveland? SETI's baby! I am used to getting incredible food from trucks. So I have the same standards for trucks as I do from non-trucks. And I like dirt-cheap regular places and dirt-cheap trucks, it's not about how fancy it is. But no. It didn't do it for me. At all. I might even say that for all I care, this truck should go Roaming from Buffalo and stay Roaming. PS The star attractions here are a Bison Burger (I can never bring myself to eat Bison meat or pay $8 for another bad burger from here), and a WTF burger (which is a PB & J burger - edit - the owner is annoyed that I said PB & J instad of PB & BJ. Sincere apologies). Let me just make this clear. I think PB & J is awful, I think the fact that it's a legitimate sandwich and/or meal here is awful, and every time I see it on a menu I roll my eyes. Why not serve "Kraft Mac N Cheese" burgers then? How about a "Brownie" burger? (More awful American things I can't stand). So you get the idea. No, I'm not going to try their 2 specialty burgers because then I'd probably end up lowering it to a 1. The regular burger gets a 3, the poutine gets a 2, and the fact that it's so overpriced and overrated evens out to a 2 overall.

After finally getting a chance to come back here to try their Bison burger, this review gets an…read moreoverdue update. You ever crave a perfect burger from a truck? Roaming Buffalo has the solution. Not only do they grill a perfect cow, but the BISON burger they sometimes have is mouth-shatteringly delicious. It's lean, scrumptious and even a bit healthier. Sure, you pay a premium price for it, but at $8 -- it's still a steal. The husband and wife owners who run this truck are great people as well. Valerie, who takes care of the orders is really friendly and her energy gets you excited for the food. Christopher, the chef -- is a true burger maestro. Their PB & Bacon Jam takes them 8+ hours to prepare and he put some of it on the bison burger, along with some tomatoes, onions and lettuce. The tomatoes I tasted were very flavorful and the other vegetables tasted very fresh. The PB & Bacon Jam is a great condiment for the burger, but only if it's cooked medium rare, otherwise it tastes a bit too dry for me. If you haven't had a chance to get a burger from here, you're missing out. Roaming Buffalo does it right.

How good can a hot dog be? Well, pretty great as it turns out…read more Frank was one of the first food trucks to hit the streets in WNY and their longevity can be directly attributed to the quality of their product as well as their great menu options. They constantly change their menu, so there are always great surprises to be found. Some of the stand-outs are: The Hells Kitchen which has spicy mustard, kraut and NYC onion sauce. The Hogtied - bacon wrapped dog w/ BBQ sauce, shredded cheddar & a nest of crispy fried onions. Modern Chicago - tomato jam, mustard & house-pickled peppers. Aside from all of the condiments and toppings they use, what really stands out is the link itself. They told me that they work with a local farm to produce their pasture raised pork & beef links. There link is all meat - no fillers, artificial flavors or nitrates (to keep hot dogs a nice color, most producers use pink salt which contain carcinogenic nitrates - they use natural celery powder which is more expensive but well worth it). The result is a very juicy hot dog with a great SNAP to it and lots of flavor. It's pretty impressive that not only do they make their links and most of their toppings, but they even make their own hot-dog buns! I've been to a lot of food trucks and sadly, the majority of them are just buying frozen products and throwing them in the deep fryer for you. Meanwhile, these guys are cutting potatoes and twice-frying them for their hand-cut fries. For $4, you get a big, 1/2lb pile of restaurant-quality fries. Try them with one of their specialty fry-dips like malt vinegar & sea salt aioli. All-in-all, they are a bit more expensive than what you would get from other hot dog options in the area. But when you consider the amount of work and expense it must take them to make their own links & buns, pickle their own vegetables, make their own sauces, cut their own fries, I'd say it's worth the splurge. For less than $10, you can get one of their standard toppings dogs and a order of their hand-cut fries - not a bad lunch at all.

Absolutely delicious hot dogs with fun specialty dogs. It was hard to decide on what to order since…read morethe sandwiches also sounded amazing! I got the impractical dog and a classic dog. Both came out super fast and piping hot. Will definitely be going back to try more!
