    It's fish fry season so we made our annual trek to Mcpartlin's for fish fry. It did not disappoint. We started with the pretzels, which were interesting, the horseradish was a little strong. I had the breaded fish fry and it was really good. Coleslaw and fries were good. My wife had the broiled haddock and it was really good. Atmosphere looked like it did in the 90s, it could use a freshening up. Overall a good fish fry.

    Came here to this neighborhood bar/restaurant late on a Saturday night, and had a great time with friends, and the wonderful bartender. Service was fantastic, with a handful of domestic beer on tap. The last Saturday of the month they serve chili ("slime") dogs that pair exceptionally well with beers yet still delicious on their own. Overall we had a great time and would love to come back again.

    I've passed by this establishment dozens of times and we finally walked in to McPartlans and it was like taking a step back time. From the quaint decor and the vintage tables and chairs, it reminded me of dining with my grandparents. We were greeted by a very polite and friendly woman who had our drink and food orders going in near record time. The misses got the turkey sandwich which was a healthy helping of meat and veggies and she got a "cup " of fries which we all were surprised at how small it was. But she also got a cup of the broccoli cheddar soup and we love a thick hearty soup so this was a nice addition to the meal. The little yelper opted for her usual fingers and fries, her take was they were "ok", but the pickles got a thumbs up. I went for the famous fish fry. Either I've lost touch on what to expect for a $16 fish fry or this thing was just abnormally small. But it was an ok fish, wouldn't say famous but the slaw fries and rye bread were all a good addition. I'd be interested in trying their Reuben or wings next time as those seem to get good reviews.

    Great neighborhood bar. A friend has become a regular and we joined him Saturday night. Great drink prices. Last Saturday of the month they have chili dogs. They were delicious.

    Another holuday tradition that was checked off my list. Tasted even better since the company was one of my favorites! Tom and Jerry!

    Haven't ever eaten inside. Only have had pickup over the years and decades. Don't live in the area, but last night wanted a homey fried fish dinner so went old school Buffalo. Charming low key old school for sure. Full of locals and service was friendly and not rushed. Had French onion soup, clam chowder and their classic fish fry. Definitely enjoyed the slow pace and quietness of it. Thought it would be busier but maybe Black Friday folks have other things on their minds. I would say 3.5stars this rounding up to 4. It's nothing fancy but gets the job done and just a chill place.

    Spinach bread... I didn't expect it to be creamed spinach! - A plate of six bread slices topped with melted cheese and creamed spinach, served on a restaurant plate over a newspaper menu.

    I've lived in WNY nearly my entire life, and my recent visit to McPartlan's Corner was my first-ever visit. (I even remember when there was a McPartlan's Other Corner!) I definitely showed my naivete by entering in the "bar door" instead of the dining room door... That's ok! The first of my group to arrive, I secured a 4-top and placed my order. We all enjoyed a Tom & Jerry, a seasonal drink to which I was recently introduced. A blend of Brandy or Bourbon topped with a merengue-like mixture and spices like cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. The drink was delicious. The food was pretty good, too. When I ordered spinach bread, I definitely expected something different than what I received. The Reuben was tasty, both for dinner and reheated in the oven for lunch the next day. Even the chips crisped up in the oven. The decor was festive & fun. The staff all seemed to have sour faces. Not one server looked like she was enjoying herself. There were many eye rolls, heavy sighs, and at times, my dining mates & I felt completely ignored. Perhaps it was just the night. IDK...

    A place where I used to think had the best fish fry might be slipping out of that top spot. We got fish fry's on Friday and I can't say I was super impressed. The fish itself is good. It's not a huge piece compared to some other places but it didn't fall apart or mush when you cut into it which is definitely a plus. The salads are fine. The potato salad didn't have much flavor and the macaroni salad also seemed to be a little bland. Would love to have some more flavor added to those to bring the meal back up. The coleslaw I had was a little dry, and not as watery or creamy as it should be. It was almost like just eating normal cabbage. The fries here were really the only side that complimented the dish. I ate the meal but can't say I finished the sides. They just weren't up to par this time. Hopefully it was just a one time thing and McPartlan's can win me back next time.

    Do you remember the first time you felt Christmas spirit as an adult? When looked forward to something so great that you think about all year and even tell strangers about it ? Well that the way I feel about Tom and Jerry...the drink . Mcpartlan's the no frills restaurant and bar, is one of places that does it the best !! Acctually, Mcpartlan was the very first place I tried a Tom and Jerry over 10 yrs ago!! Their meringue topping is thick, creamy yet whipped and wonderful. The rest of the drink made with Whiskey, I like to taste the top with spoon, take a sip of the drink then mix it together!! If this is your first time having a Tom and Jerry I'd suggest you start here...but you won't be able to have 2,lol !! I only ever get wings or fingers here but this time I got the sampler. Humongous potato skins, crunchy yet cheesy mozzarella sticks, wings and fingers( gave the Jalapenos poppers to my friend lol) . I was definitely full!! I love that they waitress was super bubbly inspite of being busy and knew the menu very well. I hadn't been to Mcpartlan's in few yrs but I will most definitely add it back to Tom and Jerry rotation!!! And yes the wings were perfect as always!!

    I've been here a couple times so far and although the food is decent (I ordered roast beef and mashed potatoes ) and they make a pretty good Tom and Jerry - the service could use a little work . Although nobody was really rude - any special requests were made to seem like a hassle (separate checks , substitutions, extra water etc.) . It was a Tuesday evening , although they were steady - not every table was occupied , nobody was waiting for seating and they seemed staffed accordingly, so I don't understand why every request made was met with some sort of resistance. Prices are good (pay in cash and they are even better ) . Decor for the holidays is festive . Now if only this corner bar/restaurant had more of a friendly and comfy feel - like Cheers !

    My friend and I stopped out at McPartlan's to catch up. This place is a comforting tavern. It isn't for everyone, but I like it. I was probably the youngest one there, but that's what is great about it. We both ordered the chicken taco salad. It is served with a side of jalapenos, olives, sour cream and salsa, and it is in a taco shell bowl. It was very good. I couldn't believe that they had that on the menu, and must have passed over it numerous times. I know now not to and will be ordering it in the future. My friend ordered a harrington, which is similar to a Manhattan and enjoyed two of those. I had two vodka sodas. Our bill came to $50. Not bad for 4 drinks and two salads.

    Does McPartlan's serve fish fry during Lent on every night for dinner? Or only on Friday nights?

    The fish fry is served 365 days daily

    I am just curious their wonderful rye bread came from? The waitress told and it sounds like "air conway". Did anyone know the correct name?

    Mark our bread comes from Mid State Bakery outside of Rochester N.Y. They are the company which… Read more

    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.

    The epitome of why Buffalo is called city of good neighbors. We had so much fun sitting at the bar…read moreand loved Patrick/Sponge who was behind the bar serving drinks and on the grill. He made the day! It's a tavern. Youre getting paper towels as napkins and tight seating. And you'll love it. We split the french onion and the fish fry. Im not usually one for fish fry sides. 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. Croutons that are not totally mush. Would do over, over and over
