Food 4/5- it's not a place that you come for dinner. But if you'd like to have a side with your beer or cider, there are a few selections. I ordered from the daily special menu a grilled cheese sandwich with buffalo chicken inside with chips $5.00 not bad. You really come here for the alcoholic drink so keep that in mind. I had a glass of white wine since I'm not a beer drinker. Service 5/5- bartender was friendly and took our orders right away.

This spot has always been a favorite of mine. It really makes the one end of Main Street in Williamsville. We started out with the pretzels and elote dip. The chips for the elote were great too and the dip was a great way to start the meal. The pretzels were soft and chewy and I really enjoyed the mustard they used. I couldn't decide on the main part of my dinner and kept going back between a pizza and a burger. Ended up going with the Nashville Hot Chicken pizza and I was very happy with the choice. The pizza had some heat but nothing too crazy. The wood fire pizza itself was cooked perfectly. Very good and I will definitely be back for more of their pizzas. I also ended up getting a piece of cheesecake to take home and it was great! Very sweet and creamy. I have never seen a rectangle piece of cheesecake before, but maybe that's the secret to why it was so good. We will definitely be back for more here. We love coming here with friends and it is a good spot for dinner or a double date.

Well, they were on the list of Yelp Buffalo's top places to eat in 2025, so of course we had to give them a try. The space itself is really beautiful. Nestled alongside a river with a cabinesque vibe. Stone exterior, with wood floors, exposed brick, and large fermentation tanks on the interior. It's really quite cozy. As for food, our table shared one of their tasty dips - the elote one to be exact. Elote is delicious on its own, but in dip form with pickled red onions, fire! I could eat an entire bucket of this stuff. When it came to my main course I ordered what I call the basic girl dinner, a caesar salad and fries... but here I went with the tater tots because I was told they are heavenly. My salad was a good portion size and exactly what you want when you order a caesar. As for the tots, the amount you get is insane and they were in fact, fried to a crispy perfection. They definitely hit the spot. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and I can see why Yelpers in Buffalo rate this spot so high. If I lived nearby I would definitely be a frequent flyer.

Ladies room - clean and they even have some nice hand lotion which I wouldn't expect in a place like this. Only downfall. No food is served. I understand you can bring in your own snacks.

We sat at the bar and she ordered her usual fave drink, a Mojito. She immediately asked the bartender for a different drink, stating the Mojito was not good.

Staff - No conversation, no smiles, they did ask how our food was and we simply responded with one word "good" but overall the experience felt a bit unwelcoming. Would we return - Nope.

Overall, would stick to Britesmith next time.

Totally average fish fry with interestingly seasoned coleslaw, Mac salad and potato salad…read more Breading was crispy but dark and almost burned, leaving the fish flavorless. My suggestion is to call ahead for pick up as seating is as claustrophobic as the parking lot. It took me almost an hour from seating and beverages to having food in front of me. Also, set up a group text with your party as it's too loud to hear a person next to you talk. TLDR food was passable ambiance is what you'd expect from a neighborhood bar with a small kitchen. Takeout is a must with this place. Note, the steak I smelled cooking smelled divine. I should have ordered that.

But damn--they were good. Both the Mac salad and the potatoes were excellent (and I dont love mayo) and very dill forward. Fish fry. Our new favorite. Maybe favorite stateside, not just wny. But definitely favorite in WNY. Crispy. Perfectly cooked fish. Not fishy. Huge. We split it. French onion: so much cheese! I ain't complaining. Good broth. Melting onions.

I would like to give it another try sometime and hopefully boost my rating. I'd say the best part of this place was the "look and feel" and so many seating options ... bar, indoor, outdoor, upstairs, down stairs, covered, not covered. I think this part was really my favorite and I love sitting outdoors in the summer. My friend enjoyed his chips and turkey sandwich. He had no complaints. I ordered the cool and collected salad. It's one of their GF options FYI. It comes with a house ranch. The ranch I found rather bland. One hand, it allowed the toppings of the salad to shine and they were nice blend. On the other hand, I would prefer a more favorable ranch. That is just a personal preference. My disappointment came with the $2 upcharge for the tiniest bit of sourdough bread. It was so small I honestly couldn't taste the sourdough part (at least the waitress said it was sourdough). And I just was shocked they would charge $2 for that. It really should just be included at that small of a size (see my photo). What was really disappointing was the service. Our waitress was actually extremely nice! It wasn't her attitude or demeanor by any means. And I doubt it was even her fault; but there was a private event upstairs and she had to juggle that and our table and the event was the priority. My friend needed a refill on his drink the whole time and she didn't return after our food. He finished his meal, no refill. He finally had to go find her to get one, which was inside, and I wasn't given a refill myself and just didn't bother asking since she was busy. Then we waited for our check. And waited some more. I decided to use the bathroom and would ask for our check then. Didn't see her on the way in, didn't see her on the way out. Waited a little while again and went back in. She was carrying more things to the upstairs event. And she told her to bring us our check when she could. Overall, like I said, the seating options were the best part. Our waitress was a nice young lady but just too busy with the event and we shouldn't have to chase anyone down for refills AND the check. I think just having her serve the event and another waitress downstairs would have been better managed, especially since hardly anyone was there (hence the people-free photos I could get). And the upcharge for the tiny bread was silly. I would try this place again sometime .. our waitress said the trivia was fun and you can reserve a table ahead of time for that. But I think I would try something else to eat. Maybe a flatbread. And I hope to improve my rating in the future!
