Food was pretty good. French onion soup and wings were solid. Server was great and had a good personality. We were charged $2.00 for each soft drink refill, which was odd considering I've never been charged for fountain drink refill at any restaurant. Server also accidentally gave me a double order of wings (no big deal), said she would make it a single on the bill since thats what I ordered. The weirdest part is that she was reprimanded by management within earshot of us and they made me give them back the uneaten wings that I touched. If I didn't give them back the server told me she wasn't allowed to charge me for a single order. Im not sure why they (management?) wanted the wings back. They can't re-sell them considering wings are eaten with hands, especially with COVID. So they made me too many wings and then just threw them out? Very odd and poor customer service considering I had my wings already boxed up. Again, the server was great- management was something else. Probably wont come back again. read more

I'm not going to describe the food offerings, how absolutely terrific the wings are, or how this place is a consummate Buffalo institution. We've all been there. ME, I've been a patron for 25 years. My advocacy of The Gate ended on Friday evening when I joined my husband and 3 of his co-workers on the patio. I'll put that into perspective: The youngest in our group of white collar banking professionals is 42 years old. The fun banter was fun, but after 15 minutes of fun banter we all were itching for a cocktail. Both the restaurant and the bar were not all that busy yet - it was only 5:00, so what could have really taken that long for our server to finally show up? When she did we all happily greeted her, and with a blank reciprocal acknowledgement, she proceeded to take our drink order. 1 blue Moon, 2 Tangueray & Tonics, and 1 Stoli & SODA - all with lime. "What?" she asked to none of us in particular..."what what" we all sort of said in unison...Perplexed and irritated, she wanted TO KNOW WHAT TONIC WAS. She wanted TO KNOW WHAT TANGUERAY WAS. Ok, she was young, but come on - if you fancy yourself a waiter, know your menu and spirits. So we, being the adults tell her what it is, and repeat the arduous order. *Mind you, we were not being patronizing* but it was really an exercise in stupidity. Our drinks arrive, and we suck them down, order wings to share. She refills our drinks, this time with fleeting brilliance as she now knows what tonic is...in fact, I got tonic in both of my drinks....was suppose to be SODA. Whatevs. I didn't want to tax her any further...I mean her scintillating personality from minute one bowled me over with compassion. Well, we eat the wings - they were outstanding. Order apps and scarf those down. One of us asked for another of something, or a refill, or more napkins...the usual benign, yet sometimes tedious request that serves might WANT to roll their eyes at. OUR server DID. She not only rolled her eyes, she became mouthy and incensed and declared: "I DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT, I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO SERVE YOUR TABLE ANYMORE" and casually walked away...she may have flipped her hair when she spun around, but that might just be a vision in my head because the experience was just that cliché. Appalled is an understatement. My husband got up to find the manager. Her petulant behavior was unacceptable. He located a guy, and asked if he was the manager... "There is no manager" is what the 20 something manchild told him as the waitress mocked and made faces at Jim while standing behind this guy - both standing behind the bar. Now, my husband is not a small man. He's 6'4" of Air Force strength, and yet, as if tempting to bait him, the manchild looks at Jim and says: "ARE YOU TRYING TO THREATIN TO KILL ME?" Jim simply reply's "no, I just want to speak to somebody about how rudely our party has been treated...Jim comes back to the patio and sits down. So folks, how ridiculous is this story so far? It gets better! Next up, entering stage left comes another waitress. Another seasoned professional to boot. Not. She claims to be the manager and sticks her finger right into Jim's face and says: "I just heard that you threatened to kill (insert name here) you need to leave!" At this point the folly was almost overwhelming. We left laughing, but were all disgusted. I still am. Who is the owner? I'll find out. I know lots and lots of people. I know, it's Buffalo, and we all do...but I really do. I'll place that phone call...not to scream at him, but to inform him that we were treated poorly at best, and that having a responsible manager on staff is imperative. The "ME" generation that was running the show that evening was doing so without any guidelines, or rules, and quickly, if not immediately they turned into disrespectful, insolent little brats who actually do believe that it is acceptable to treat THEIR PAYING GUESTS like SH!T. read more

Thank goodness for the amazingly kind locals of Buffalo (and my GPS) for telling us about this place and for helping us to find it. It was the last stop on our 36 hour tour of local fave wing spots in Buffalo, on a search for THE BEST. Just coming from a disgusting trip to Anchor bar (more on this later) we were anxious to try these based on the recommendation of some fellow brunchies we met that morning. You walk in through these amazing ornate gothic gates (I'm assuming these belong to Gabriel) as if you're soul is about to be judged before you enter to see if you're worthy of the delectable wings that await you inside! Slightly off putting is the musty smell of the entrance way between the gate and the resto, I'd seen other reviews mention this and it's actually pretty bad, so reader beware, hold your breath as you walk through Gabriels gate! You can tell this is the local hangout for the men of the area, they huddled around tables and the bar and starred us down as we walked in... I swear what you're smelling isn't my Canadian-ness, it's probably that entrance way. It wasn't me I swear!!!! But serious, this dimly lit, local hot-spot looks like a hunting lodge... with more beer. They had a giant taxadermy moose head on the wall and I'm pretty sure a doe, a deer...and a female deer!! Enough about decor... the wings came next! Wanting to make quick work we asked our server if the legends were true and she proudly confirmed. Ordered the hot wings and waited for their arrival with bated breath..... they then arrived.... we leaned forward grabbed one each and...................................................................... Ha-lle-lu-jah! Ha-lle-lu-jah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! WE FOUND A WINNER!!!! The BEST wings by far! Large, great sauce, juicy from the first moment you take a bite, super meaty, and not over cooked, YUM! I almost felt a small tear roll down my face... maybe it was hot sauce...don't judge me... I was so happy! Best Buffalo style wings FOUND! Lesson learned: When locals tell you where to go for the best of something - you listen the first time! Eatcrest OUT! read more

Gabe's Gate is a Buffalo institution. Any Buffalonion who knows his way around wings knows that this is the place to get your fix. Forget Anchor Bar, forget Duff's. This is the place (at least within the city limits). The rest of the menu is great as well. This is not fancy food. It's comfort food and bar food at its finest. Tuna melts, burgers, reuben sandwiches ... it's all here and it's all delicious. Make no mistake, Gabe's Gate is not fancy. If anything, it becomes more of a dive every year (in all the years I've been going, I've not seen any improvements - the bathrooms need some serious TLC). But that's all part of the charm. If you come here with any frequency, you will likely see the same patrons sitting on their favorite bar stool, chatting with the bartender. It's a neighborhood bar with neighborhood charm. Some people have complained about the service in recent years, but I have not yet shared this experience. Our server recently was absolutely wonderful, as good if not better than many servers in other high-end establishments. Minus 1 star for the awful beer selection and the most likely dirty taps. Guinness here tastes like garbage. Of all beers, Guinness is one that will quickly reveal whether your lines are nice and clean or grimy and in desperate need of a cleanse. read more

Good late night spot for some great wings. First of all the wings are large in size, and they are crispy. That in my opinion makes a great wing to start with. They were a little dry and could have used a bit more sauce but still good. The atmosphere in the place is a weird mix of people but that's what makes it. On a cold night like tonight was glad they had some fireplaces. Service was great, my glass was never empty. read more

The smell and taste of Buffalo await behind Gabriel's Gate. Yes, the smell is a little bit mothbally, but that's part of the charm. It's creaky, a little bit spooky (must be the taxidermy display) and a tad dusty. When we walked in, there was no doubt this was the real deal. You could imagine straddling a stool to the bar and not leaving for a day or two. We were here for wings, and after confirmation from our sweet server that they were definitely delicious, we ordered up some classic and some BBQ. They came out huge, juicy, tender and flavorful. Their standard hot is not too hot, but it definitely has a kick. I also started my meal with a cup of their soup du jour, which was a chicken vegetable, and I regretted not getting a bowl! It was chock full of fresh vegetables and seasoned perfectly. Yum. Thinking about it makes me want to hop a plane to Buffalo. To me, a soup is a great yardstick for judging the culinary quality of a restaurant, and this one measured up! It is definitely worth a stop if you find yourself Buffalo-way. read more

My burger was gas, and the person who I came with ordered a steak which was equally amazing. The wings were nice and crispy and had good flavor, although I will say for being Cajun and "Hot" they were not hot at all, barely a tingle on my lips. Regardless the servers were all really nice and the food was good. No complaints! read more

While in the vicinity for a wedding in Rochester this past Saturday, I had a couple of hours to burn in Upstate New York. Between the litany of options (aka: watch ESPN in my hotel room until the wedding began), the better option was jumping in the car and getting some real Buffalo chicken wings. A friend suggested Gabriel's Gate as it's apparently where the locals turn for their Buffalo wing fix. The verdict? It's a damn good wing for sure. We got ours spicy and threw in a salad (covered in bacon + bacon dressing) in an attempt to get just even a little nutrition during our lunch. It's a quirky place with friendly locals behind the bar, so it was certainly a pleasurable experience. The neighborhood is super cute - so after your meal, take a stroll and soak up the fun of a simpler vibe. read more

The place to go for wings in B-lo if you want to skip the tourist experience at Anchor Bar. The Gate's a haven for locals, especially sports fans, and it feels like a hunting lodge inside. There's usually a game on, and a line of dudes in flannel bellied up to the bar. The menu is meaty to say the least, with the kind of bar food you'd expect at any local pub -- fries, burgers, etc. There's a few good beers on tap, as well as the brand name stuff. But the wings are legitimately good -- and once you're at the Gate, you're in Allentown, and you can wander around with a happy post-wing, post-beer buzz to places like Frizzy's and 223 Allen, and continue to pretend you're a local. More tips for behaving like a local: - Wear your coat inside at the bar. - Order a Labatt Blue or a Molson. At least one. - Flatten your a's into submission. (I.e., it's "peeyants," not "pahnts.") - Do not, under any circumstances, allow that the local sports team losing on television does not still have a shot at making it "all the way." - Get your picture taken at the photobooth at Frizzy's. Extra points if you can coax a total stranger or two into the booth with you. read more

When people visit us in Chicago, we always introduce them to deep dish pizza. Yes, I know it's served in other cities. No, it's not the same. Ditto for wings: this is Buffalo's signature dish. But again, since everyone is now on the wing-wagon, how to you pick a restaurant? I asked our hotel desk clerk, and he pointed us to this place just around the corner. His recommendation was spot-on! My son and I were with my parents, both in their late 80s. I was a little nervous the wings would be too spicy for them, even with the "medium" sauce, but they loved them! The medium has a bit of a kick to it but is tasty. The wings were meaty, fresh and tender. The wings were plenty, but we ordered a side of onion rings--they were delicious. My parents also had the French onion soup (yes, we like onions!) and said it was good. The cheese was really gooey like it should be. The waitress was really friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is very cool: lots of mounted animal heads (acquired from a museum, not shot by the patrons) include the requisite buffalo head; a big chandelier, very 19th meets 21st Century. The neighborhood is kind of happenin', and parking would have been impossible if we hadn't walked. I recommend this place, although you run the risk of setting the bar for wings pretty high. read more

Best wings EVER! Service, eh. The french onion soup was the best I have ever had and so were the wings. Prices are great except for soda's which are free refills but it is a bar so. The wings really are the best in the area. They are huge, sauces are all great, and they are served nice and hot. I like the atmosphere and am glad that the local yelpers did such a great job recommending this place as the best wings in Buffalo. They were right! Service...Hmmmm...there was nobody there so service shouldn't have been slow. And the server seemed very aggitated that he had to wait on us! oh well. The food is so amazing that they are still getting 4 stars. read more

I travel a lot for work and when people hear that I am from Buffalo they say "Oh, so where's the best place in Buffalo to go for wings?" Going to the Anchor Bar for wings in Buffalo is cool -- if you're an Asian Toronto tourist with a camcorder and you want to take a picture of your wings. I always tell people -- Gabriel's Gate on Allen Street has the best wings in Buffalo. No doubt, hands down, survey says -- Gabriel's Gate. Toss me a cold Yuengling and some wings and I am a happy camper. read more

I recently (finally) checked Gabriel's Gate off my List of Shame of places I have not eaten at in Buffalo. Since then, I've had the pleasure of dining there multiple times. The atmosphere of the place is fantastic. The building is one of the original Tift Row Houses built in the mid 1800's, and the original lay-out is still very much intact. The dark ceiling tiles and antique decor lend themselves well to a unique combination of the historical and dive. Service was both laid-back and prompt. I've heard people complain about the wait here, but all my dining experiences here have been extremely expedient. The wings, which is what they're known for, were delicious. The medium are a bit closer to a mild (which is perfectly okay with this heat-hating girl), but the BBQ ones are possibly the best I've ever tasted. My boyfriend still insists that Duff's are better overall, but I'm a GG convert. The menu itself is accommodating to even the pickiest of palettes and offers a good representation of bar food (No beef on weck, though.) The names of each burger are innovative and add a little kick of Buffalo culture to the food, as well. As a beer advocate, though, I was disappointed in their lack of selection. I was really hoping that the Buffalo-themed bar would have some solid representation from local brewing companies like EBC and Flying Bison, but the pickings were slim and only available via word of mouth from the waitress. I feel that good beer is imperative to a decent wing experience, so sipping on a Blue Moon was a little disheartening while eating my tasty wings. read more

I have been here 4 or 5 times since April 2013. The service has gotten increasingly worse and the food has become completely inedible. I have talked to other foodies about this restaurant and the things I have heard about the condition of the kitchen and known health code violations are enough to convince me NEVER to eat here again. read more

Gabriel's Gate is truly a gem in Allentown. The decor of the restaurant is very interesting and cozy. The service was great. It felt as if our server went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The food was amazing. We started with the spinach bread so good and flavorful. The. I had the wings with the mild sauce. It was really good and the wings were so crispy and perfect. He had a burger and it was cooked perfectly and so juicy. Overall the experience was outstanding. Next time I'm going to he the French onion soup. It looked out of this world. And if you're ever looking for a great meal in Allentown go to Gabriel's Gate. read more

On a cold rainy afternoon, we wandered in to for warmth and wings. Wings hot, beer cold. 'Nough said. Love this place, and I'd wander in just to chat with Erin. She's great! read more

Buffalo's two biggest problems are obesity and unemployment. After scouring this upstate town for the best wings, I have chanced upon the reason for all of this fair city's woes. If I lived near gabriel's gate I'd quit my job and eat wings all day too. This little brewpub/wing joint has the best buffalo wings in all of buffalo, and that's saying a lot. They are juicy and crispy and dipped in exactly the right amount of sauce. They're a little milder than most places ( hot here equals a medium elsewhere), but the flavor more than compensates. Pair them with one of the gabriel's gate beers and you're in fat jobless heaven. read more

Heard so much about how great the food is here. I wasn't overly impressed. The wings were decent, but i mean it's buffalo and it's hard to screw up wings. Now the RIBS on the other hand were absolutely terrible!!! They came out and my first impression was wow they're huge this is gonna be great!! But they were very very tough and not all that meaty. The side of veggies, fries, salad, and the couple sandwiches my friends got seemed to suffice! All in all decent place with some fireplaces to keep warm. But at all costs avoid the ribs!! read more

LOVED the French onion soup. My husband and I after visiting Paris had a HUGE craving for soup. We set out on a mission to find the best in Buffalo. SO FAR, this is our spot. Omg. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I have 2 other places left to try but dayyyyyyum- great job Gabriels!!!!! read more

Stopped in here Saturday afternoon with the wife and two boys. First time in since I moved back. Place is just as I remember. Little dark and dank, but still warm and comforting. (especially when the fireplace is going in the winter) Kids were already excited by the little fish tank and wooden Indian statues. Got to sit in the window seat up front which had added spooky effect of webbing on gate looking out on Allen street for Halloween. Food was just as good as ever. Had the french onion soup. (one of the best in the city) Its covered with thick cheese layer that gets perfectly toasted and melted to the bowl. A must when I go here. For other food I had the famous Buffalo sandwich of beef on weck. I should of ordered extra horseradish but it was still great. Meat piled high, super salty roll, where ya gotta shake some off. Wife had the burger with bleu cheese and bacon, while we ordered a regular cheese burger for the kids. The burgers here are huge and juicy. Kids and wife could not even finish theirs. To top it off, they still have Gabe's brown ale on tap. Its a delicious brown ale that is smooth with a bit of malt backup. Went perfect with my meal. People say things never change in Buffalo. In terms of places like this, that's a good thing. read more

This place looks interesting on the outside; inside, not so much. My fiancé and I were set at a wooden booth in pitch-black darkness while there were many window seats open. The beer list sucks (lablatt, Bud, Sam Adams, piss, etc). The place wasn't that busy but the waitresses all looked incredibly frantic for some reason and it took forever to get served. Nearly everything is a meat dish. I ordered the portobello burger and the bun was ice cold, like it had just come out of a refrigerator. My fiancé ordered the ham on swiss and it arrived with no swiss, just ham. Who is working in that kitchen? The sides of chips from a bag and a pickle spear from a jar made us feel like we were in the cafeteria line at school. Won't be going back. read more

This place has character in every nook and cranny, and the best wings in Buffalo, and thus in the universe. They are BIG, crispy on the outside, and moist in the middle The sauce is perfect. Good flavor. Don't be afraid of the hot. I must have some every time I make a trip back to the motherland. Some people mention Duff's but they are slimy with way too much sauce. As for the Anchor Bar.. They are good, and they were first, but the Gate perfected the wing. In short, GG is a solid bar, and it has solid food, and that good enough for a visit. What makes it a destination? WINGS! read more

Foods GOOD, Service sucks!!! French Onion soup-Cheesy! Chicken Wings-Real good, Duffs is still better! Club sandwich-Huge! Out of all the meals brought out (6 person table) the steak open hoagie looked the best!! So if you don't mind waiting almost 2 hours for your food, go. Get onions rings NOT fries (soagy and cold). The waitress seemed to be hiding because she knew the food was taking too long. No free refills on pop, but we didnt find that out until the waitress noticed our small empty glasses almost an hour after we got our first round. All servers seemed to be clueless, bringing wrong food to wrong tables all over the restaurant. It was not just our server that seemed to be slow, as we were waiting for our check, 2 different tables walked up to the bar and tried to pay their bill because their server was MIA (but, cant pay at the bar, got to wait, it was not even THAT busy) read more

Cool spot, definitely a worthwhile stop. My friends and I sat in the back patio which is prettily surrounded by trees and vines and nicely shaded from the sun. The sandwiches are great - a friend had the turkey club, pretty tasty. Being in Buffalo, we had to try the wings, and we were not disappointed! I like them the best when they're cooked just like regular chicken, not breaded or crispy, but sauteed and tossed in hot sauce. They even make their own ranch dressing! I had nachos, which were just like a pile of corn chips with velveeta and jalapeños on it, sour cream and salsa in little to-go containers on the side (even though we were dining in). We all had the home-brewed nut brown ale which was very pleasant. The waitstaff was very friendly, and the price decent. It's overall a really pleasant experience. read more

* wings had good amt of meat * better than duff's * great divey, neighborhood atmosphere So much better than Duffs. Came here on a friday early afternoon. Had a labatt with a 10 piece hot. Again, I'm not a big spicy food eater, but i can handle frank's hot sauce on some chicken wings. Got a lesson from the locals that they just call them chicken wings here, and they ask for mild/medium/spicy. you don't need to say "buffalo wings" or "buffalo sauce" that's just the norm. nobody here gets ranch so if you do you're crazy. I like the atmosphere here better than duffs, a divey looking bar with a good amt of history and some old guys hanging out, reading the paper, watching espn, talking basketball. The wings were larger than Duffs and were less overcooked than Duff's. They are better than Duff's for sure. this my place in buffalo. read more

Loveeeeeee Gabriel Gates. No matter what you order, the portions are huge and the food is delicious. They stay open pretty late so its also a great place to go to later in the evening. Great service also read more

Had a dinner here last night. The wings did not look like the photos shown here. They were terrible. They first brought all drumsticks. Whaaaat??? I had to send it back to get some flats. They were terrible and rubbery and the sauce was thick and heavy. Not the best wings at all. I could only eat 3 of them. The waitress said the cook was new. I'll never suggest this place to any out-of-towners looking for good wings anymore. They also charge for soda refills. Cost me $25 for wings, fries and Pepsi. I tipped $5 for a total of $30. Not worth it all all. I drive Uber and I make a lot of recommendations. read more

Absolutely the best wings in Buffalo. Skip the Anchor Bar, Duff's, and LaNova (okay, try LaNova - they're excellent). Go straight to the Gate for perfect wings. The atmosphere there is great and unique, and I stop there every time I go back home to visit family. Food, drinks, staff, and room are all excellent. They have a great patio in back for brunch during the warm weather. I hear that the place used to be a strip club many decades ago. read more

I have been to Gabriel's Gate in the past, but last night was a bit different of an experience. I had planned on meeting my good friend Alex out for a late dinner and our first two options that we checked out were both closed. Someone recommended Gabriel's Gate, since their kitchen is open late - which I have to tell you is a huge positive for me since I often eat late at night. The service was good, the food was good. Nothing outstanding or remarkable to report. As far as late-night bar food goes, it was above average. I opted for the soup of the day, which was a tomato Parmesan with tortellini, and it was excellent. My entrée was a grilled chicken and avocado sandwich (forget the menu name of it - they give all of their sandwiches unique names based on the neighborhood). The sandwich was good, with an ample, well cooked but not dried out chicken breast, and plenty of fixings. Good bar atmosphere, good food, friendly service for being late at night - I'm sure the wait staff was tired. I give it a 4 and would go back again if I find myself in Allentown. read more

Gabriel's Gate is just one of those places where you can go to get a good meal and great tasting drinks. I'm no native to Buffalo but I enjoy eating here more than other places of its kind. The atmosphere reminds me of a cabin/lodge (animal heads mounted on walls) with a bar that is pretty stocked. The crowd is usually a bit older from what I've seen (late 20s & above) - I'm only 21 but it has never affected my experience there. It's a nice ambiance and not too loud either. The wait staff are extremely professional and helpful. I think that is why I keep coming back here every so often. Whenever I have a question about a menu item, I will usually get an answer that tells me more than I need to know (and that isn't always a bad thing you know!) The food is spectacular. I always order a double order of Cajun BBQ Wings - irresistibly finger-licking good! I can only comment on the wings because that is all I crave when I go there. They are so much better than anywhere else and I've had my fair share of wings. Large, crispy, and full of flavor. These are the top three reasons why I will always go back to GG. I recommend others try it too if they want some good wings and beer. read more

I'll save you the ravings on their awesome wings since the other 65 reviews have covered that. They're amazing. The rest of the menu, though. On level with the wings. Had a shaved steak sandwich today that was phenomenal. The French Onion soup is out of this world and I am not even a huge fan of French Onion Soup anywhere else. It was that above the competition. Love this place. read more

Let me start off by saying I'm not a fan of fish. But after much cunning persuasion, I was talked into trying fish fry. I am definitely a fan of Gabriel Gate's fish fry now! The fish is so buttery, and just melts in your mouth. And the batter is just right. Be prepared to share one, or have a take home container because it's a biggun! Besides their fish fry, the lighting and atmosphere is very warm and cozy. There are fireplaces and it just has a homey feel to it. Definitely a fan! read more

Although the Chicken Finger is a pretty simple bar food, it is not the same at every place. I have been trying to find somewhere in the city of Buffalo that has as good of one as my favorite place to get them in my hometown. I finally found that place recently. I have been here for lunch during the week and dinner on your typical busy Friday night. The service I had both times was great. I ordered the monster sized Chicken Fingers that they have with a combination of their BBQ and Suicide sauces. I was in heaven!!! I have had their Tuna Melt and Chicken Souvlaki salad as well. Both were excellent. Great unique restaurant atmosphere. This is my favorite place to eat on Allen. read more

As soon as I walked into the place, I enjoyed the atmosphere. A cozy place to sit late night and enjoy some food and drink. Just flew into Buffalo and we were staying on Delaware Ave. It was 11:00pm and we were hungry and needed a place to walk to and grab a bite. This place was recommended by the hotel. It was perfect for what we needed. They had an extensive menu that had everything from wings and sandwiches, to salads and entrees. Because it was late, we just grabbed a sandwich and a salad while sitting next to a fireplace and having a nice view of Allen street. Behind us, a bunch of local guys were enjoying the NBA playoff games seated at a nice sized bar. The service was good, she got our food to us quickly and she was attentive but not overbearing. The price was more than reasonable. Really fun dining experience in our first night of Buffalo. read more

the owner was cooking tonight. served us cold french onion soup, undercooked chicken wings with super hot sauce we didn't order and soggy french fries. we didn't think we should have to pay for wings we never ate. the owner came out of the kitchen and yelled at my husband and said, " if you don't like tge food, don't ever come back. the bartender agreed with us, when we showed him our plate of wings and said the owner should not be cooking. horrible ownership. the waitress told us, we don't take items off a bill. if you don't like it, it's pretty much too bad. read more

One of the beat rib spots around, hands down! Highly recommend. Great choice of drinks too

Really good wings and sandwiches! Plus a cool atmosphere with all of the decorations on the wall and around the tables

Consistent go to for wings when in Buffalo. Pleasantly surprised with their outdoor seating. read more

Gabriel's Gate - Buffalo Time! Visiting Lina. - American Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Came here for Brunch. MISTAKE. Although the place is big, comfortable and feels nice to be in, the food on this particular Sunday was just plain awful. I see from the other reviews that their Wings and burgers are fantastic - and I don't doubt it - I would just advise you to consider going elsewhere for Brunch. We were part of a very large party, and between ourselves we probably ordered everything on their brunch menu. And not one of the people I asked afterwards had anything good to say about what they got served. Flavorless / Tasteless / Cold / Greasy / Overcooked / Tough were pretty much what I heard back. My plate was probably about two-third covered in Home Fries that were chewy and the other one third (an omelette as I recall) was lamentable and amateur. It pains me to say bad things about this place, as I am sure it rocks at other times. Just consider the Greek place a couple of doors down on the other side of the street which had an amazing-looking menu and was PACKED that particular morning but just didn't have space for a party of our size. Hey, maybe the chef had a rough night, or didn't show up and somebody else had to cover for them. Or maybe there was a reason we were the only people in the place when the other places nearby were packed. read more

I was up in Buffalo for a wedding this past weekend and asked the hotel where to go for the best wings. They directed me to Gabriel's Gate. So I went and sat at the bar and ordered a double order (20 wings). The wings were great and I was not disappointed. Very meaty , crisp on the outside! I went in there with a decent appetite but couldn't get thru the double order. The service and the few locals I spoke to were very friendly. Amanda was behind the bar and I sat next to Patty who was on her way out but chatted with me for the next 2 hours! (Btw thanks for the beer Patty)... I'd definitely go back if in the area again. Great wings and great people! read more
