We were invited to seat ourselves, and when we ordered our beverages, each one of us was asked, "Spiked, or spirit-free?" The tacos al pastor lacked the usual pineapple tang and was a bit overwhelmed by the pickled slaw on top. On the other hand, the carne asada tacos were completely overwhelmed by the heavy hit of cilantro on top. But the service was cheerful, and the food and drinks came out fast.

The beans were a tad dry but otherwise a good meal. Ambiance: it's got Christian dive bar ambiance? I sat at a booth with a filthy floor, a large strip of fajita steak (we did not order fajitas) was on the ground in the aisle, and there was food other places on the floor. I also had an incident where my 5 year old got locked in a bathroom stall and couldn't get out, and one of the employees sitting at a booth hanging out eventually came to help me and the screaming child, and said "oh yeah, lots of people have this problem"... which is a sign that they recognize a problem but are not fixing it. Service: there were a lot of employees sitting around, which is fine, but you think they would have time to clean the floors. Our server was good.

They don't have the outer egg batter, which at first was strange but not bad. The whole plate was covered in a thick cheese sauce, which was delicious but a lot of cheese.

Every single time I come back home, dining at Colden Country Inn is non-negotiable. Located just a…read morefew miles from our homestead, it's an absolute diamond in the rough that never, ever disappoints. The food is always fresh and prepared absolutely perfectly. You truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but a few standout favorites are: Chicken Wings: Outstanding crunch, flavor, and execution--some of the best you'll find in town. Fish Fry: Golden, crisp, and fresh every time, with excellent sides that are all homemade. Cheese Steaks are made with thier shaved prime rib and is incredible, great portions of beef, onions and mushrooms. The Chicken Parm: was much bigger and tastier than I thought. My parents could've split one order, however, they now have a second full meal at home- the noodles from the pasta are homemade. The Daily Specials are always incredible and ever changing. Chef has it going on, and is building a helluva reputation for his business. To top it all off, they have a fantastic beer selection that pairs brilliantly with the menu. Also, they have an INCREDIBLE Bourbon menu as well. Colden Country Inn is just outstanding across the board. If you're anywhere near Colden, do yourself a favor and check it out no matter the time of year. In the winter they have dining igloos on the outdoor deck, that are heated. Such a cool concept! This restaurant is becoming a main stay for every trip home to visit my parents. I've been here at least once for the past four years, and I will be coming back again! ;)

We selected Finnerty's Tap Room for an early Saturday evening dinner based on the promise that they…read moreGluten Free very seriously (I found this claim on their website). Finding any GF options when visiting small towns can be a challenge so I'm really thankful to have found Finnerty's! We ordered: - Jalapeño Poppers (for my gluten-consuming husband) - Stuffed Banana Peppers (Gluten Free) - Chicken Wings ordered well done with hot sauce (Gluten Free) - Smash Burger on Gluten Free Sesame Bun & Chips - Hamburg Carrot Cake Brown Ale (for my Gluten-consuming husband) There were only 3 Jalapeño Popper left so our server didn't charge us for them. They were your run-of-the-mill frozen poppers; nothing special. The Stuffed Banana Peppers were a special for the day and they were pretty delicious. They were cheesy, stuffed with sausage and topped with a delicious tomato red sauce. The Chicken Wings were well done, as we requested but were average which was a surprise considering all of the claims to be award winning. The Gluten Free Sesame Bun was one of the best GF buns I've had but the burger patties were average. The meat didn't seem like it was seasoned but the cheese and grilled onions helped add some flavor. Not worth $15.95, in my opinion especially because you have to pay $1.50 each for any additional toppings and it only comes with generic potato chips. The Hamburg Carrot Cake Brown Ale was listed on the draft beer list but was served in a can. Our server was attentive and had a kind/sweet personality. Here's a few highlights about the space: - Pool Table - Golden Tee Golf Video Game - Hockey Foosball Table Game - Old Arcade Video Game - 8+ TVs; I believe they're usually tuned into sports. - Music was really loud; it was somewhat difficult to hear our server. Overall, I would come here again when visiting Ellicottville and try other menu items - like the Gluten Free Pizza and whatever their daily special happens to be.

It's close to Holiday Valley & Holimont ski resorts and worth the 15 minute drive from both. The interior is airplane themed, as the restaurant sits near an airport ("fly-in"), and is pretty basic so don't go for the ambiance. Even though the ski resorts bring a lot of tourists this a locals spot that maintained a good crowd throughout the evening. Even with a crowd we were seated immediately and our waitress was great. We were there for their special Friday Fish Fry. The menu had the standard homestyle cuisine and they offerred several other specials. I went with the fish special and my wife chose the chicken parm. The fish was breaded, moist and delicous. The chicken parm dish was a lot of food but also really tasty. We left really full and our bill was under $40 for the two of us. It doesn't look like much but we really enjoyed the evening.

Imagine our surprise when the band set up in the bar and started performing! The menu featured appetizers, sandwiches and wraps, pizzas & wings, soups & salads. Pretty standard fare as far as taverns go. The kids menu stated that $12.00 meals came with a beverage, fries and an ice cream sundae. The kids pizza had a very crispy and bubbly crust, with a good amount of chair from the pizza oven. We also ordered pizza logs, and boneless barbecue chicken wings. The children seemed to really enjoy their meals. My husband ordered the Tuscan salad, which was a very nice bowl of fresh crisp lettuce and vegetables with thick slices of fresh mozzarella seasoned croutons. These days many people are afraid to order lettuce due to some ongoing nationwide recall. But we're in an area of the nation that has not seen any illness from lettuce consumption. I ordered the more mundane Samplers Platter which was an array of deep fried appetizers. It's not typical for me to order this, but I was only mildly hungry for chicken tenders. I took home my pizza logs chicken wings, and french fried onion rings. The quantity of the food was more than we could eat, so much of the meal went home with us.

However, I chose the cheese nachos with the new cook, forgot to put salsa and sour cream on them.
