We ordered wings, fries, fried pepperoni and many drinks. The wings were solid. We got everything and bbq. The everything is spicy. The rest of the food waa great. I liked the fried pepperoni that were recommended to me. Im recommending them to you. You also get marinara sauce for dipping. Downside. I think my gluten allergies are getting worse because this is a shared fryer and I had small reactions that I wasn't expecting. Bartenders were fun and friendly. It was a great time! Highly recommend for a low key night and solid wings with a bunch of different flavors.

They've got a lot of craft brews, cheap but tasty bar eats, pool, darts, and a small stage. The crowd noise can be unpleasantly loud without music, but the acoustics are great for when the music starts. A security guard was a little weird when my husband tried to go to the bathroom and wanted to take his chair unless he got out of line and sat back down. Apparently he was guarding that chair in particular. I dunno. Otherwise service is great.

We live in New York City so have never experienced this sort of racism. The lady who was the…read morebartender was horrible to my husband and I. It starts off with us calling out to her she for our drinks which she ignored. Not only that, when my husband asked her to remove the ice she removed the whole drink. We decided to leave it at that, I thought I could speak to her kindly to change it. When I went there, she said "you made me remove the ice that's why this is like this, and I can't give people like you free shit" I was honestly just shocked and a little bit drunk from the place we went before so I couldn't process it, looking at my shocked face she goes "I can make you another drink but you'll have to pay for it" I say yes do that please. She shows me quantity mocking me, "this is what is used and the amount of quantity I'm not gonna do this again so I'm showing you" I still say thank you When she comes back with the new drink, i was about to take it and then go back to our seat where my husband is and get money to pay her, returning her my old drink, she goes "nah I'm not giving it to you until you pay it" since I'm tipsy I say please keep my drink too I'll give you the money, while I'm giving her back the drink she doesn't hold the glass and it tips off and falls and she makes a nasty face I say sorry and proceed to get the money from my husband. By then husband saw me at the waiting at the bar too long and was heading towards me to help me out. When he comes I tell him to give me money and he gives it to me, again at the bar we're trying to catch her attention, she comes back are you paying for the drink? I say yes with the 20$ in my hand reaching out to give it to her, and asked the drink you spilled I already paid for that, are you gonna give me that back? She proceeds to not give the new drink I say can I have my drink back, she screams I'm not serving you lady, get off! I was still calm and didn't say anything cuz I was tipsy, my husband right next to me while this happened. (He was confused as he didn't know what happened in the first half of the conversation as he wasn't there) We were absolutely shocked and ended up leaving, I ended up crying the whole night. Waited for the alcohol to wear off to understand what I've truly been through. Saw the timings of the bar so we could go and talk to the manager/owner about it, I called the number present in google, waited for someone to pick up, the cleaner picked up after I called multiple times, it opens at 3pm on Sunday we would've left Buffalo by then to start for home, so we went at 1pm to see if anyone was there, same cleaner. Left him our numbers, he said he will let his manager know but didn't help (as apparently he didn't know anything else, didn't even know the name of the tall female bartender, who was so ugly to me) Since then I've emailed, called, there has been no response. I'd not have posted this had there been any response since then. I've been affected by this humiliation horribly, my mental health got messed up cuz I'm still questioning as to how can someone behave like this with me, what did I do wrong, because surely the color of my skin cannot be the only reason you hate me, we were celebrating 6 months of our marriage, seeing Niagara Falls was so immensely beautiful, but this experience changed my whole perspective about human behavior, all I can say is Please donot spend your hard earned money there that is my only request. PS: I keep posting the review on Google but they keep removing it somehow I just posted it again. But they removed it. I'm gonna keep posting until it's there.

We sat in the back, not at the bar, and the waitress was still attentive. Usual pub fare on the menu with some twists, bahn mi poutine being one of those. We got fries and chicken wing egg rolls. I will say that the hand cut fries were probably the crispest I've ever had. I usually find hand cut fries soggy, but these were amazing. The drink menu was also eclectic, and they'll make any drink a mocktail, which is good for the DD. Open mic was full of talented weirdos and one excellent duo, so if you're into that scene, check them out!

We decided to start with an order of the classic Buffalo wings and the giant pretzel. The wings were amazing and the pretzel was the single largest soft pretzel I have ever seen. We probably should have stopped there, but we underestimated the pretzel and hot entrees too. The stack burger was classic, juicy and loaded and the seasonal corned beef and cabbage dinner was delicious. The service was great and the beer was cold and crisp. If you want a great intro to Buffalo, amazing wings, and a chill vibe, swing over to Elmwood and try this place out.

Ate at the bar the second time and the bartender was terrible, I guess he had friends at the other end of the bar. Almost threw the menus to us. Last night was the last straw in my book. Like I said, the food is fine but no big deal. What really iced it for me is their "kitchen appreciation fee." What bs! It's only two bucks, but I would prefer to be able to "appreciate" on my own. If you want to get money for the kitchen raise the prices a little, they are high enough already but if that is the way you "appreciate" the kitchen it would be less irritating. Big thumbs down for your lack of "customer appreciation!"

Wow. So let me tell you a story about my first time at Hillikers Pastime…read more It was late on a Wednesday, and my friend and I were leaving a gig at the Sportsmens Tavern, when a girl came by on her bike and said "are you guys going to the party down the block?" We told her we hadn't heard of any party, and she said "Well you should come, they're playing music and having a good time." We got our instruments and followed her lead, but she was too fast, and disappeared, leaving us in front of a barn-looking building with a sign that read "Hilliker's Pastime." We should have gone home, but we felt an auspicious pull inward. We went in, and were transported to another realm. We drank $2 beers and were taught shuffleboard by our enormous bartender. We were hit on - hard - by 45 year old woman who kept asking us to play our instruments (we did.) We witnessed a near bar fight and listened in as an old timer in a 90s-era Buffalo Bills jacket argued about something that I can't remember. We stumbled into the back room and .. well.. around this point the memory gets fuzzy. And I can't tell if I liked Hilliker's pastime or loved Hilliker's pastime. But I will be going back.

It is a top notch restaurant that uses high quality and fresh ingredients and adds gourmet touches that are higher end but still work for the Buffalo crowd. And the portions are usually generous. I like it here but a lot of the menu options don't work for my diet. So when I come it's for someone else's occasion but it's still very much a treat. I will say that the staff is always accommodating and helpful to ensure I find something to eat. Most recently I was able to enjoy a delicious special that was grilled prawns with mescaline and vinaigrette, supremed oranges and grapefruits and artichoke hearts filled with herbed goat cheese. It was delicious and filling enough I was able to eat it as my main. The flavors were unique and blended well together. I was full but it was still light. The herbed goat cheese stuffed artichokes were delicious and a real treat. I'd hope to have them another time. The citrus fruit touches were a nice contrast to the richness of the cheese. If you want a delicious meal and a nice place for a date or girls night definitely check this place out.

We had a drink at the bar and then we're seated at our table. The waiter was cordial, friendly and informative. We ordered the stuffed mushroom appetizer, the Carrot Papardella, and the Penne w/ grilled steak "au poivre". So good! The bread with the tomato sauce was fresh and the sauce had an amazing flavor. The stuffed mushroom with artichoke stuffing was very rich and flavorful. Lots of stuffing. The Carrot Papardella had large chunks of fresh seafood and great sauce. The penne with steak was very good. The marsala sauce was very rich and filling but flavorful with that sweet marsala wine sauce. Steak was tenderly cooked perfectly. The waiter brought out a great slice of complimentary birthday caramel ganache cake. Great surprise. Our water glasses were never empty, the bread was plentiful and the meal was so tasty, fresh and flavorful. This place has a good amount of seating but reservation recommended for busier times. It's a nice dining room with a bar at the entrance of the restaurant. They have daily specials and rotating dessert specials. Highly recommended and always worth the visit!!

The staff was also friendly, very attentive, and the prices were on par with other business. There was a cover charge of $10, which is a decent deal for live music. Parking can be a hit or miss but fortunately there is parking in the shopping complex next door. I am looking forward to visiting again and seeing more bands and trying more of the food.
