These are my favorite wings in the entire city of buffalo! They manage to be extra crispy on the outside even when covered in sauce and so juicy on the inside. This is a really great place and I'll be back! read more

First time going, 1st there was a bug in our pitcher so we asked the waitress to take it back and take it off the bill. She said ok, no apology or asking if we wanted something else. I asked 3 different times for water until I finally had to go to the bar to grab it myself. She never came to our table and checked on us and seemed to have an attitude every time we asked her something while she passed by our table. The food was good after we finally got it a hour later but I won't ever go back because our waitress (Gia) was absolutely horrible. read more

Excellent food and atmosphere here. On the way to Toronto last year, some friends and I stopped off in Buffalo to stay the night and get the original wings from Anchor Bar the next day. I had always wanted to go to the birthplace of wings at Anchor Bar and I finally had the chance. Well, the next day was Memorial Day and after making the walk from the Holiday Inn over to Anchor Bar, we were horrified to find it CLOSED for the holiday. I felt like Chevy Chase arriving at the shuttered gates of Wally World! Luckily, I chose not to go to the local sporting goods store and go all Clark Griswold on the Anchor Bar. So, I went back to the hotel and did the best thing you can do when out of town and looking for good food, ask a local where their favorite restaurant is. This is a sure fire way to get away from the tourist traps and back into the neighborhoods where the good food is. I asked the guy at the front desk at the Holiday Inn where he would go for great wings and a good lunch. He said to walk about three blocks up the street and turn right. Excellent...we didn't even have to drive. The place he steered us to was Gabriel's Gate. What a great place it was. The inside was very cool and laid back with a lot of wood finish. You can go out back and sit at tables outside and you almost feel like you are in someone's back yard. A lot of locals and regulars hanging out here and it just had that cool neighborhood bar type of vibe. Very relaxing. We all ordered wings to start out with and they were out of this world. Perfectly spiced with just the right amount of heat. Everyone agreed these were some of the best wings we have ever had. For the meal, I decided to go with the beef on weck to get the full Buffalo experience. The sandwich was excellent. Everyone else in my party loved their meals and the atmosphere and we all took note that we will always stop off at Gabriel's Gate when in Buffalo. Thanks for the great tip Holiday Inn front desk guy! read more

When walking into here, you wouldn't think the decor was like this. It's got a log cabin look going to it and when it's cold as hell out, it's a nice touch. Their wings are awesome, you really can't go wrong... especially because you can custom them exactly the way you want. It's definitely a Buffalo Icon. read more

My husband and I had one of our worst dining experiences here. We decided to go because we heard that some say their wings are better than Duffs. In my opinion, they are definitely not - after having some Duffs wings the night before. The wings we were served at GG are crispier, but had much much less flavor than Duffs. I was also not too thrilled when I bit into one and the grease splattered out from under the skin all over the table. After our less than impressive wings, we had to wait over an hour for our dinner - and this was at 5 pm when the place was quite empty. The server said it was some "computer" error, but didn't even offer to make it up to us. I also asked for au jus to go with my roast beef - he never brought it. Other requests were also ignored or very late - they put ice in the water when we requested none, and the ketchup came 5 mins after we started eating. Essentially, this place gets one star just for existing. Oh, and the atmosphere was nice. read more

On a recent trip to Buffalo, a friend and I decided to check this place out. I've been to Buffalo many, many times but have never really "explored" the city much, nor had I ever had Buffalo wings there, so I thought, 'what better time than now?' Gabriel's Gate was in an area I'd never been to so it seemed like a good idea, you know, to get to see the city a little... It was surprisingly dead for a Thursday night. I did a little research and Anchor Bar seemed like its head got too big and Duff's...well, we have Duff's here and something tells me that a franchise of this size probably does things pretty much the same (or at least similar) across the board so I didn't see the need to use up a food opp there. The other places didn't get such great reviews--YES, YELPers, I was lead to Gabriel's Gate by YOU! The way some of the earlier reviewers were going on, you'd think catching an airborne illness or kooties off the seats were commonplace here at G's G! Not that I was going to let that deter me...I was on a mission after all...it's just a dingy-lit bar with moose heads and other things hanging on the wall, whose majority of patrons seem to have a lot of facial hair. I didn't find it dirty, but then maybe the lighting masked the scariness? Whatever the case, my friend and I weren't starving but just came from a show and needed to cross this wings thing off our list so we ordered a few things to munch on, having high expectations from one of the best wing places in town. What is up with the food here?? We ordered two kinds of wings: buffalo and one other that was mentioned in Yelp. They weren't bad but nothing spectacular, as in, I could get wings just as good around here. They came with veggie sticks and the usual blue cheese dip which had ZERO flavour--that was odd. We also split a Delaware? Avenue sandwich as the chicken, bacon and cheese combination sounded like it had some good things to offer. The grilled chicken was a decent size, and the meal itself was pretty big for two people who weren't that hungry. But the funny thing was that the sandwich, like the blue cheese dip, didn't taste like anything! It wasn't just bland, it just tasted like NOTHING! If you asked me to name a food that has no taste, no flavour whatsoever, I'd be pretty hard-pressed to come up with anything--even water has a taste! I couldn't understand how the sandwich was void of any flavour! I love bar food and even if the food here wasn't to turn out to be the best I've ever had, I was sure it would still make for decent bar food--NO CHANCE! It was really strange but it is what it is...I wish I could comment on other food items, but that's all we had, along with a few cocktails which were fine. Service was nonchalant, I don't think anyone gave a rat's ass that there was anyone in there, except for those moments when they'd bring us our food which was actually cold by the time we got it. Things became more entertaining after we left. We stood around outside talking when a drunk transvestite came along and chatted us up, insisting she sing us some Whitney Houston songs while telling us her life story. All that uproar seemed to gain the attention of another drunkard, possibly homeless and totally incoherent, and before you knew it, a crowd formed around us. I have no idea what part of town that was but it reminded me a little of The Annex, with bars and such along a one or two block stretch. I guess it must have been some kind of downtown, as it seemed to be where all the action was. read more

Very intimate atmosphere, great bar with a typical bar menu. Just a cool place to say you went while in the heart of Allentown.

Yummy food and friendly service makes me wish this place was in Toronto too. Made my friends come check out the wings with me while we were visiting the first night. They loved this place so much, they didn't want to check out any other places to eat and made me come back (not that I put up anything resembling a fight....lol) The wings were big and meaty, oh so good. Medium had me reaching for the water but I can't handle spice anyways. The waitress told me the sauce is basically just Frank's Hot sauce with some butter (mild is half- half). They weren't that crisp the first night we had them but I think it was because we left the bowl on it for a bit while we ate the other food. I suggest letting them know what order you want the food to come out if you are ordering appetizers. Second night they were definitely crispier (yay!). The pricing was fantastic --$11.95 for 20 wings!!!! $8.95 for 10. Kinda forces you to order the double but its all good. The wings still taste good the next day. It makes me sad that I get charged so much more for wings at Duff's in Toronto. They also have BBQ & Cajun wings available. I found the BBQ wings had a bit too much sauce for my liking. Loved the soups, mex-a-wings & other appetizer/finger foods here. It was all fresh and tasted great. Would definitely try to stop by the next time I'm in Buffalo read more

I am far pressed to even give them a single star. This was by far the worst dining experience I've had in a very long time. The meal began with us being informed that refills were not complimentary as if I'm some form of a section 8 case. Next I ordered the French onion soup with high hopes based on the pictures and reviews. The soup was Luke warm at best (how?) with burnt cheese over top (equally impressive). The onions were undercooked and under seasoned and lacking. Stale bread complimented the finish and lack there of for that matter. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse I get served undercooked French fries and the blt sandwich I ordered had mayo on the side in a plastic ramekin as if I was in a cafeteria. Also not nearly enough to baste the sandwich adequately. To add icing to the lackluster cake my girlfriends souvlaki salad had hamburger meat mixed in with the steak. Three courses and three strikes. This is a strike out and I will not return. Also there serving staff was more concerned with congregating at the end of the bar than performing the two bite check back. This place used to be a great dive now it should dive into foreclosure. read more

In a quest to find the best wings in buffalo, I found myself walking into Gabriel's Gate yesterday. As I was walking in, a gentleman was walking out. I politely asked "how are you?" He replied "not good at all" I should have known that this would be a start to a very bad experience. The hostess said to grab a drink at the bar while they got the table ready. We went to grab a drink at the bar and we were greeted by one of the "bar regulars". This bar regular was extremely rude to the people surrounding her. She began to yell profanity at myself and the patrons around her. I tried to calm this individual down asking how she was and if there was anything I could do to calm or cheer her up. She then told me to eff off. So I proceeded to mind my own business. She then grabbed the side of my arm and dug her nails into me and told me that she wanted to stand where I was sitting. After I had already asked if she wanted to sit there. I told her that is perfectly fine. She then proceeded to yell more profanities at me. Meanwhile I am still trying to order my drink, I ask the gentleman behind the bar if I could have a beer? This "bar regular" starts screaming at me telling me that is not his job, so I said okay sorry about that this is my first time here. She keeps yelling at me to not ask this gentleman for a drink. The very polite bartender then comes over and asks if I want anything to drink I tell her my drinks and I try and tell her about the dispute with this "bar regular" and that she is going crazy on people for no reason. She responded with that's one of my bar regulars and she's fine. Well bartender, she is not fine, she's either way too intoxicated at 6 pm, or she is on some medication that is affecting her well being and should not be at this establishment greeting people with a nice friendly welcome of eff bombs. After grabbing a drink our table is ready. The waitress was extremely nice and served our food promptly. She also checked to see if we needed anything frequently. The wings were good, but I would not call them the best in buffalo. It could be that the first time I try this restaurant I was greeted by a horrible customer and a bartender who tried to defend why her "bar regular" is screaming and grabbing customers that I simply will not ever return to this place of business. First impressions are the most important, and this restaurant definitely did not give off a "welcoming" vibe. Overall, the food was good. The waitress was wonderful. The bar regulars are horrible over served/ too medicated patrons. And the bartender should definitely know when to remove a dangerous individual out of their place of business before they are liable for their actions. read more

1st time here last week. Great wings & cool atmosphere. Fam and I will definitely be back!

Nice night out a few beers, wings and onion soup. Wings were cooked perfect-soup was great needed salt and pepper have had better but def far from the worst. Steak sandwich a bit tough but still tasty! read more

I love supporting local business, especially in dire times such as what we're going through right now. With that said, I do believe this needs to be stated. I went to Gabriel's Gate today to pick up food to go as no restaurants are allowing dine-in due to the virus (which I obviously support). However, when there is no dine-in option period, I don't feel that it's fair for this establishment to charge a "to-go" fee which I've been charged both times I've recently gotten take out and it seems like the norm here. Also expected to leave a tip which I have no issue doing but for a take-out order to have to pay the "to-go" fee and then be expected to tip when its not the same service as a dine-in experience obviously. I know this may seem a little petty but when customer support is so crucial, ESPECIALLY in a dire situation like this outbreak I feel restaurants ought to act with a little more grace and appreciation for those supporting it. On a side note, the food (wings, sandwich, soup) was good, however the French onion soup was way too salty to the point of having to throw it out midway through the bowl. read more

just meh. Why do people rave about this place? We've come back a few times to investigate. The wings are always just okay, the steaks are nothing to leave home for and the hamburgers are not tasty and the salads are sad. We have determined that most of the folks here drink in equal measure to the chow. Perhaps the booze is fogging the remembrance of meals eaten, or maybe Gabriel has a lot of friends who gets discount? read more

Great place and the service is excellent. Been traveling to Buffalo, for work, for the past 10 years. I always make it here to eat. The food to good and comes to the table hot. The wait staff are attentive, but not overbearing. I recommend a visit. read more

Great sandwiches, but nothing beats good food on the forest-like patio, watching the little birds pick up the crumbs, and forgetting you're in the city. Good service, good prices, you really cannot go wrong. read more

This is not my first rodeo! I've been coming to Gabriel's Gate for longer than I care to remember. Over the years I have tolerated disinterested servers, rude patrons, and even rats on the patio, because I was with good friends and the food was reasonably good. Last night was the proverbial straw. Our group of 5 came in from a very long day, tired and ready to relax. We ordered and sat back, sipping some wine. Both the appetizer (1) and the entrees (5) seemed to take a long time. There was no explanation from our server, who seemed imposed upon whenever we asked for anything. Two in the group had ordered steak sandwiches, one medium and one medium rare. The medium was OK, maybe a little overcooked, but the medium rare was far beyond, even in the well done range. We called it to the waitress' attention, when she finally checked back, and asked if there would be some consideration for their mistake. She said it wasn't her call, but she'd send someone over. A while later, a gentleman came from the kitchen - the new steak sandwich still hadn't arrived - and announced, without preamble, that there was nothing he could do for us, since we'd ordered the steak redone. We were all upset and frustrated, to say the least. By the time the new steak had arrived, everyone was already finished with their meal! We asked for the steak to be wrapped, and I believe it was destine for our friend's dog. Gabriel's Gate has been crossed off our list for the foreseeable future - with so many wonderful places to eat in Buffalo, there is no point in patronizing one where a welcoming atmosphere is non-existent and customer service is ignored. read more

I had the Buffalo wings and French onion soup. The wings were cooked to perfection. Nice crackle as you bite into the wings but tender and juicy on the inside. Best french onion soup I ever had. Friend was not thrilled with his steak tho. read more

Tried several different dishes here. The wings were good, especially the mild ones. But the hot ones were disappointing somehow. Soup was good. Burger was ok. Service was quite good. Therefore rate it a four star. read more

I have brought family and friends to this place for years, until this week. This business is not aware of the American s With Disabilities Act's rules for public access and the legalities of service animals in public. My partner and I were excited to go to the Gate, as he is from Toronto. I have been there no less than three times with my service animal with absolutely zero problems this year alone. We entered the business. The host greeted us warmly, acknowledged my service dog, took our name, informed us of a 15 minute wait, and suggested a drink at the bar. We walked to the bar and a woman approached us and said "you can't have a dog in here". I said he was my service animal. She asked for papers. I explained I have his license and his immunizations records, [which are often required when we cross the border (also there is no legal governing body that regulates the registration of service animals. That's all a money grab.)/ She challenged me and said she thought I had papers with me, like she didn't believe me. She said we needed to "accommodate" her. She challenged my disability and veracity of my service animal (he happens to be a 5lb dog, who is task-trained like any other dog who aids people with invisible disabilities), by saying she was calling her friend who "trains service animals". She walked away from us leaving us at the bar. She came back several minutes later claiming that the breed and handling of my dog don't indicate that he's a service animal. I said, 'you are discriminating against me because of a disability accommodation'. She wagged her finger in my face, brushed past me and said "you're impossible to talk to". I walked up to closer to the bar and asked the bartender for the name and number of the proprietor. He said you just talked to her." Then she had her bartender do her dirty work by saying no less than six times "It's time for you to go. You're not getting served here". Here are some other great places in Allentown to eat where we have been warmly, if not curiously welcomed: Mother's, Fat Bob's, Rowhouse, DBGB, Falley Allen, Colter Bay, ABV, Cantina Loco, Frizzy's, Betty's, Cafe 59. I'd suggest bringing your money where many people are informed or genuinely and respectfully curious about how to handle such a situation with compassion, understanding and respect. My service animal will prolong my life outcome, allows me to continue to work and not be a burden on a social services system, and most importantly, will help me avoid the need for a costly kidney or liver transplant because he can do the same things that pharmaceuticals can do, without harming my internal organs. Oh, and he can fetch a remote. I encourage anyone who works in industries directly in contact with the public to know your rights as a business owner AND the rights of people with disabilities. You are legally (and maybe more importantly morally) obligated to accommodate a person with a disability by granting some form of access or comparable service to a patron. To a person with a service animal, you may ask TWO questions: "Is your dog a service animal?" and "What task or service does s/he provide?" If, and only IF a service animal is disruptive, misbehaving or clearly not trained to behave in public, you may ask a patron to leave. It's really that simple. I truly hope that this owner and her staff are properly trained on what they can ask and how to handle such situations for the future. However, they have doubled down on their ignorance and continue to publicly deny that they have any responsibility for their wrong doing. read more

Let me say one thing, GET THE REUBEN. The beer is decent, and the pasta a friend of mine had once was good. But the Reuben is amazing. Also, their kitchen is open til 1 AM even on Thursdays, so if you're out having a beer and have hunger pangs, you know where to go. Great atmosphere. The burgers aren't the best, in my experience, but it's a fun place. and remember the reuben. read more

I have been here a couple times and have had no issues. Sunday 06/29/2014 will be my last visit. 1.) The place is getting worn down and ghetto looking! I usually go in the evening so this time in the daylight hours was a revelation!! 2.) It smells mildew. 3.) The bathrooms are absolutely disgusting!!! 4.) Why would you have a garbage can next to the corner table in the back? We had flies all over our food on that hot day! It was quite an annoyance! Our server Chloe was nice, but took forever to come and see us when we first were seated and in between the meal. I mean 15-20 minutes is outrageous! She kept apologizing, but that got old really quick! I asked for extra sauce and spices on my Cajun Chicken Alfredo and ordered my Arnold Palmer virgin. Great. Chloe comes back and says there will be a charge on the extra sauce....wait for it.....$3.00! WOW, REALLY?! I said "No thank you". Our food comes and it tastes ok. I ordered the French Onion Soup with my entrée as it came with a soup or a salad. I ordered 4 refills as it was a hot day and we had just gotten done with the garden walk on Jewett Pkwy. When the bill came I saw that I was charged for 4 drinks (my refills) and for the extra spices! There was no notification of refills being charged or the spices as Chloe only stated $3.00 for the extra sauce. I called to complain because, of course, there was no manager on duty. The guy that picked up stated that he would take my info down and have a manager call me back (as I heard him speak to someone in the background, "this guy has a lot of complaints"....) Haven't heard anything in a week. Called back a couple days ago and asked to speak to a manager. Was transferred to a lady who said she was the "acting manager". I relayed my concerns once more and she said that there was no guarantee that someone would call me back or assist me in the matter as they are allowed to charge these prices. Um, ok that is not cool. I'm not asking for the whole meal to be paid for, maybe a voucher for half the meal or maybe a free appetizer? Is that too much to ask? My opinion matters and I let her know that I will tell all! So here you are....the decision is yours ultimately, but with the way the economy is going and the way they are doing business (high prices by the way) I will not be going back. Thumbs "DOWN". read more

Haven't been to the Gate in 20 years...from the reviews I've read, things have improved on Allen St, I had to step over a few street people the last time I was there.... sounds the same, tho.... I remember these two gas torches outside the entrance, sort of stunning, and then what looked like a 120' bar. narrow and long, the wings were extraordinary, large, perfectly done, the right sauce, with just a hint of smoke.....now I'm out in Rhode Island... these people actually think they know what a good wing is???? Naaaaahhhh!! I have to make a pilgrimage soon..... on my bucket list, for sure!! read more

What the heck is going on with Gabriel's Gate? Friends of mine and I went there tonight around 9:30 Sunday night for a bite to eat. We were seated in a booth and the waitress came to take our drink orders. When she brought our drinks, we asked for an order of wings to start. She returned around 10 minutes later and took our food orders, and we said that we wanted the wings to start, not all the food at once. We then waited and waited - no wings. I finally got up and asked her if the wings were coming soon, and she said they would be right up. About two minutes later she served our sandwiches and apologized that the wings still weren't ready. We cancelled the wings. I had seen the sandwiches on the counter when I got up to speak to her. By the time she served them, they were cold, the hamburger in particular was so cold it was practically inedible. The club sandwiches were so tall and so sloppily made that it was also difficult to eat them, and they were dry - we had asked for mayo but it seemed to be miniscule at best. Of course, then the waitress avoided our table, so it was impossible to seek any remedy. We complained to the manager(?) on the way out. He also apologized and said it was a combination of an inexperienced waitress and an elderly cook who "did things his way" that was the reason for the awful meal. Where is the owner? How can an incapable staff be allowed the serve such awful food? And I should add that we were not the only table unhappy with the food. This was particularly upsetting because we have eaten at Gabriels many times in the past and always had great food and service. Wow! What a disappointment! read more

Great food and atmosphere nice patio. My fiancé and I both had chicken sandwiches which literally had the largest chicken breast I have ever seen. And the price did not match the size. It was cooked over some kind of pit flame. The taste was amazing. We also had buffalo wings for an app which was great. All and all great experience. Don't miss this place and please put one in Pittsburgh! read more

Anchor bar may have 'invented' them, and will NEVER let the world forget it, but this is the wings place. No meal I've ever had here has sucked, but the wings are what wings are supposed to be. Best anywhere that I know of. read more

I tried this place on the advice of the staff of our hotel in Buffalo. they said it was awesome and had the best wings in Buffalo. Well, they were ok, but nothing to write home about. I also went to the Anchor bar for wings. They were better than these but not by much. The burger I got here was huge and very good though. So, a mixed review on the food. The place itself was ok, kind of neat. The staff did seem very nice. read more

Great food, fun atmosphere and attentive and considerate wait staff. Would highly recommend.

Love the Brown Ale and wings!! Simple favorite!!

Tried my first beef on weck here and it was absolutely amazing! I've had a few more beef on weck sandwiches since coming here and can now say with confidence that their food here is really just that good. I got a side of onion rings to replace my fries and they were just as good as the sandwich! (Warning: when asked if we wanted to substitute onion rings for our fries, we weren't told that there would be an upcharge) I will absolutely be back soon and hope to try their wings based on lots of other reviews! read more

Buffalo has great wings just about anywhere you go but this is one of my favorite spots! The servers are great and the food is perfect. No complaints so far. read more

5 of us stopped in last Friday night for dinner. Only about half the tables were occupied, but the service was terrible. In our hour-plus wait for our food, we had to find the waitress to refill our drinks. Twice. Once we got our food, it was only okay. I no longer recommend this place. read more

Last night we walked down Allen st and had dinner at Gabriel's Gate. They were the least accommodating restaurant I have been to in a very long time. Almost every restaurant will take a sandwich and make it as a salad (The Filling Station last week bent over backwards to help and said they would make any sandwich I chose as a salad .. and the outcome was fantastic) When I asked that at Gabriel's I was told I could just buy a sandwich with no bread and buy a salad and put it all together myself. Hmmm double the price, do it yourself, and no discount for leaving out the bread. I had a salad. It was good but not the combo I wanted. I won't go back. There are far too many accommodating places to go to read more

Best French onion soup in buffalo hands down! I would recommend reservations especially for a weekend! Drinks are always strong service is usually a little slow but its packed and on a date night I don't mind a little wait! read more

Don't trust the host who makes up wait times so you will leave. Two of my co-workers and I were looking for a place to eat, the hotel we stayed at recommended this wing and bar location. They raved on the food. We called ahead to see how long their kitchen stayed open, "until midnight" we were told, and we arrived to this restaurant at 9pm. The host met us at the door and told us it would be 45-90min. Meanwhile we see open tables, and guest leaving, and more guest left. A few more people came in and the host told the same thing to them, and even longer wait times. He left the area, and the second group decided to leave, and another group of 4 came in the door and he told them it would be another 1 or 2hrs to be seated. They decided to sit at the bar, while tables were still open and guest were still leaving. Finally we asked the host if we could have the open booth in the back, where he hesitated to say "Yes...." and finally seated us. We made our orders, but could only choose from a few items on the very limited menu, in 20-30min of receiving our meals we left, staff acted like we were imposing while others ate and drank. So, beware of their service, it's very slack. The food is indeed good, and I updated the hotel on their recommendation (where they were also very disappointed), but I'll take my co-workers who visit routinely to another establishment. Someone needs to really look into how their operation is ran in the evening hours. Very sad. read more

Decided to try out Gabriel's Gate because it was recommended by Buffalo locals and was drastically underwhelmed. The claim that they have the best wings in Buffalo may be true, but only proves that Buffalo wings are at best average in comparison to restaurants with higher quality ingredients who know how to make Buffalo sauce. We also ordered the chili cheese fries, which were soggy and also made with poor quality ingredients for the price. In addition to the below average food, we also received extremely sub-par service in a not very crowded restaurant. We were all but completely ignored for the extremely long duration of our time there, most of which was spent waiting to get the waitress's attention after the food and drinks were finished. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also nothing special, was just a dark old dive bar-type. Absolutely would not recommend this restaurant to anyone as the entire experience was disappointing. Sub-par, low quality, overpriced food and terrible service about sums up Gabriel's Gate. read more

I heard so much about the wings here and they did not disappoint! We got 10 medium and 10 mild and they were everything we could have hoped for and more! As a new Buffalonian and a new Yelper, I'm officially saying that Gabriel's Gate has the best wings I have ever had! Our waitress was very nice but more on the slow side, so I'll subtract one star from an overall great meal. read more

I visited Gabriel's Gate today. I was excited to try their much raved about chicken wings. When we first arrived, the server greeted us and proceeded to ask what we wanted to drink. She brought our drinks out and later took our orders. Shortly after our arrival, more customers came in. However, our server seemed to spend most of her time with the other customers. Not only did the table get their food before us, they also had the options for takeout containers/drinks without having to ask for them. We had to flag down this same server after asking for water because we never received an offer for refills. We also had to flag down this server again to ask for containers and add to the order. I wanted to tell the server, not the manager, that we were a little upset by her lack of service. She became very defensive/loud and said she did an excellent job. She also asked did I see all the tables she had. I kindly said I just wanted you to know we were not pleased and I didn't want to complain to the manager. She rolled her eyes and stated she was the manager and swiftly walked away. I have never wrote a negative review but her aggression and lack of ownership was very upsetting. I will not recommend Gabriel's Gate or order from them again. If she truly is the manger, maybe some customer service, sensitivity training, and a day off may help. read more

Being from Toronto our choices of quality Buffalo wings is really reduced to 3 locations - all of which are Duffs. Duffs are what I have known and loved since I discovered Buffalo's wing many a moon ago. I have tried and enjoyed the Anchor Bar, but have remained true and faithful to my Duffs... That is until now. For a true authentic buffalo wing, Gabriel's Gate is my new number 1. Purely based on wings they are an easy 5 stars - large, plump and meaty (that's what she said?), and perfectly sauced with a great mixture of Frank's and butter. To be honest, they were actually very similar to Duff's, just bigger, and more consistent (the last few times I went to Duffs I have always felt some wings were too small and therefore got overcooked). So with all that said... why the 4 then? For one - their fries are run of the mill and super salty. Second, my wife ordered some portobello sandwich that sounded delicious on paper but was very poorly executed. They were so could that it could have even brought it down to a 3; however, the service was great, the atmosphere was really cool, and for $4 a pint their Gabe's home dark brew was awesome.
