    Buffalo Chicken Panini
    Lisa G.

    My fiancé and I come here often for lunch before I go into work. When you walk in, the bar always has people sitting at it. Then, when you get seated they bring you popcorn to start. For some reason restaurant popcorn is always so good! I got chicken fingers and fries which is always good there! Not the homemade type or anything, but still good. He got a chicken finger panini which he always gets as well! All I wish is that the portions were bigger, but I get it with the prices and everything going up that's hard to do! We will continue to come back!

    Stopped for dinner on a Friday evening, it was busy but we were sat right away. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was cozy. The beer cheese soup was delicious and the pretzel stick to dip was a nice touch! The buffalo chicken panini was good but the best was the French dip. It was meaty & cheesy and with the au jus it was perfect!

    Cozy, comfy atmosphere with a wonderful, friendly staff! Service is top notch. Not exaggerating, all the staff was welcoming, helpful and made me feel so comfortable. Beer selection is very good. Food was out in a very nice time. Quality of our dinner was excellent. No complaints, advice or anything we were not happy with. Portions are great. Prices are in line with market. I had the French onion panini. Roast beef with mozzarella and Dijon mayo. Plenty of beef. Great flavor. Served with real onion rings. I cannot wait to go back and try another item on the menu.

    Came here with a group of four during local restaurant week. We had a few drinks at the bar while we were waiting to be seated. We all ordered the French dip for our meal. It was very good and the perfect size. For apps, I ordered the cheesy pickle egg rolls. They were ok. A little mushy and if fried a little more, would have been very good!

    Had the Firecracker Chicken, Chips and a Caesar Salad. The salad was fresh and delicious, definitely hit the spot! The chicken was good, but I expected more spice and flavor. The chipotle mayo was a bit lacking, next time I'd ask for extra on the side. Overall, great service and I'd definitely come back!

    Had a glass of the barefoot moscato, there's a huge bar for all your cocktail needs.I choose an appetizer of the beer cheese soup which to me tasted like melted Velveeta and came with a pretzel.With speedy service and a smile I got my entree of the spaghetti and meatballs , a nice size portion but the sauce was a little to spicy for my liking.Dessert was a nice and delicious portion of the peanut butter pie.

    If you just want to come in for a beer or wine they have a bar, I got a glass of the tasty barefoot moscato.With fast and friendly service I got my cup of the beer cheese soup with pretzel for my appetizer, it was hot but could have been tastier.For my entree I got the triple Decker turkey club with sweet potato fries. Not many fries for an additional cost, skimpy on the turkey and not very tasty, would not recommend this sandwich. For dessert I received a small slice of the chocolate mousse cake , very chocolatey.They have a huge lot for all your parking needs.

    Looked better than it tasted. Very dry

    Based off of the reviews of this place, I was expecting to find a nice, modern pub/bar. Though after finally getting here on my own... It's just a typical diner with a side-bar area. $8 for a margarita served in a regular plastic water cup (not a margarita glass), basic appetizers, overpriced chicken wings, frozen chicken fingers, very dry roast beef, etc. Completely underwhelming. French fries were crunchy and they give you a plentiful amount. My French dip lacked any flavor in the water au JU. I had to smother it with ketchup so I could swallow it. They do give you free popcorn as an appetizer so that's kinda nice, but I probably will not be back anytime soon. It may be my own fault. Because I was expecting the place to be something it isn't.

    Actual peppers, 2 tiny ones for $13

    Very misleading. Ordered 3 small fish fries which were ok but very very tiny. And then stuffed peppers were 2 small ones in the corner of a takeout container, cold. When website says 4. Misleading and clearly intentional to fool customers. German potato salad weirdly resembled soup, very watery

    The BEST Reuben I've had in WNY. Plus those extra crispy fries are my favorite!
    Laura G.

    Time and time again I have had a great dining experience here. If someone were to ask me to name one of my favorite WNY restaurants, the French Pub would be in the top 5, perhaps even top 3.

    Ask the Community - French Pub

    Does the French Pub do fish fry every night, or only on Friday night? And is fish fry offered year round, or only during Lenten season?

    Only on Friday all year long and it's Haddock!

    After a long drive to have brunch somewhere on Elmwood, just to find the doors locked, I ventured…read moreover here to have lunch and it did not disappoint! First off, I was greeted and found staff friendly and efficient! You have plenty of options for seating .. dining area, front bar, back bar, even an outdoor patio bar. Although it is dive bar-esque, it was nice and clean (let's be honest .. some dives have a stench and stickiness that can definitely ruin your appetite, no matter how much you may love them). They have a set up for bands to play, as one was playing while I was there for their 2 year anniversary (congrats!). What was nice is although I could hear the band (it was playing in the back and I was up front), it wasn't over whelming me. I have eaten places where, no matter where you sit, it's extremely loud, and I appreciated that you had a choice here. Now onto the food: The food should have been doomed to fail; my tastebuds were prepared to eat sweet, buttery, syrupy French toast with a mocktail at brunch elsewhere. But wasn't hyped about the menu because of this (which is not dog and pony's fault .. I had to work and didn't have time to research where else brunch was available). I settled on the umami smashburger by a suggestion of my waitress. Now once again, could have been doomed to fail as I'm not a French fry person and my favorite cheeseburger is one I make on my own. BUT WOW their food blew me away and made me forget all about my brunch let-down. The French fries were fantastic and had a great seasoning on them! The smashburger was great to the last bite .. and I was NOT expecting to finish it as it was a really nice portion (I ate lunch now 10 hours ago and didn't need to eat again it was so filling!) but it was so dang gone good I sure finished it! Smoked cheddar .. chimichuri aioli ... kimchi bacon jam .. oh ya that bacon jam was EVERYTHING!! Thank you to the staff at Dog and Pony for making my long drive worth while!

    We came here for lunch because we seen so many great reviews but man, what a disappointment. The…read morebar area was nice, but the service and the food was not as everyone else described. I ordered the smash burger, my husband ordered the turkey sandwich. After we were waiting for our food for over 25 minutes, the server came over and said that he was just informed they don't have the turkey because they had an issue with that freezer. Ok, so my husband ordered the cheese steak because he was super excited for the bahn mi roll. My smash burger was alright, but the bread they use for their burgers remind me of those cheap buns you get from TOPS that just fall apart. The worst part was that they forgot the dog sauce on my burger, so I asked for the sauce, and THEY CHARGED ME FOR ASKING FOR SAUCE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO ALREADY BE ON THE BURGER I ORDERED. My husband made sure to tell me after we already left because he knew I would have fought it and our already 1.5 hour long lunch date would have been longer waiting for the refund... He ordered the cheesesteak and the sandwich was so small, and the "bahn mi bun" wasn't even toasted which is a signature for bahn mi bread. He said the flavor was fine but nothing to rave about. The worst part, for me, were the French fries that came with both of our meals. They were soooo heavily peppered that they were inedible. We asked for ketchup to try to make them tolerable, and they gave us a pre-portioned small cup of ketchup... You serve french fries with most of your menu, why isn't there ketchup on the table?!? Overall, It was a nice place to have on senrca street which used to only have the blackthorn and franchescas, but I would not eat here again.
