Another Friday, another fish (&chips) fry. Banshee had a…read moreclassic Buffalo fish fry but I went for the Irish favorite fish & chips. They have both on their regular menu so you don't need to wait for Friday. The dish was fresh and delicious, the beer batter light and crunchy. The chips though are the highlight for me. I love their crispy flatness. The service was excellent even for a very busy St. Patrick's weekend early evening when Riverdance is playing just up the street. Keep in mind bar area can be raucous if there's sports on, but you can get a quiet table if you reserve in advance. But, sure have a pint of the dark stuff with your dinner.

I've seen them on a lot of peoples top wings list and I had to try them. They were decent. The sauce wasn't my favorite but the wings were cooked very well. Cons: the tator tots were subpar. Felt a bit over-fried. The homemade blue cheese wasn't good and I ended up switching to the regular blue cheese. I would give them a shot 'cause the sauce may be your style.

Obviously a neighborhood place, the Blackthorn offered a full bar, cool vibe, an extensive menu, and friendly service. The Mr. & I both opted for the Friday fish fry special. It came with a huge piece of haddock, choice of potato (I opted for the baked potato and the Mr. got a sweet potato), macaroni salad, cole slaw, and an assortment of rolls + regular and herbed butter. Everything was delicious but I couldn't finish it all - so the Mr. got extra. He didn't complain! Haha Since we were both so stuffed, we took cannolis to go. This was a great dining experience that I'd love to repeat someday!

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.
