    An Olean staples offering some of the best prepared regional food favorites. Service was so friendly. We felt like we knew the waitress when, in fact, it was the first time we had met her. Now, for the ambience, the simplicity of the decor made it attractive and appealing. The sitting layout works well for managing the high flow of customers this place receives. Another place for our "favorites" list.

    Place is decent. Food options are poor. Hot dog bun was too soft to hold the dogs. Bland! No liquor or wine. ++ Waitress was friendly and attentive. More like a restaurant than the "Bar n Grill", closed Sunday and Monday... + somebody scratched my car in the parking lot. If you see this, pay me.

    This place has the best Texas Hots Sauce in WNY. By default it has the best Texas Hots and garbage plates. Fresh fries are always perfect. Pizzas are good. Reasonable prices.

    Texas Hots... Yum!

    the Chuckwagon is gone but thankfully someone reopenes this vintage spot! the Texas Dogs are similar to the one that use to be up the street. very nice. SADLY though my car got rammed into in the parking lot. Which had No Lighting at all. The large Marquee sign out front wasnt even lit. The offender left no note or informed anyone. I was last customer out.

    You could improve pretty much everything. Two of us ordered…read moreclassic poutine. What we got was a sloppy mess in a bowl of cold dry pot roast on top of hard red potatoes with a little bit of mozzarella, cheese and gravy. That was the most disgusting mess ever and if I wanted to pay top dollar for pot roast I would have ordered pot roast. Another person in our party got a hot honey chicken pizza. When we ordered it the waitress didn't even know what it was. That was so inconsistent. It wasn't even funny. Three of the pieces had nothing on it while others had tons of cubed canned chicken and very sparse hot peppers. I think we counted 1/8 in pieces of hot peppers on four slices. Another in our party ordered a burger and she found that to be tolerable and the other person got the lobster Po boy. Kind of hard to screw that up. If you don't mind kids free-ranging running around then this is the place for you. Even after saying the pot roast was cold, dry, and definitely not poutine. We got charged for it anyway Of all the restaurants we've been to on the East Coast, this is definitely the most disgusting one ever. The tables.. every single one of them had a folded up piece of cardboard under one leg because they don't sit right. One of the girls in our party got a sliver in her finger from the edge of the table. What a hot mess of a place After a 7-hour drive to get to Olean New York, this was more than a disappointment.

    An update: Came in again for lunch, and the soup of the day was a hearty French garlic soup, with…read morecheese and croutons. It was awesome! My DH got the BLT, and it was so loaded with thick-cut bacon it lopped over the edges of the sandwich! I had the artichoke sandwich again, and fell in love all over again. They serve very generous portions here!
