    Just had a beer, but a lovely u shaped bar and good looking menu. We'll be back for the stuffed peppers.

    I thought this was an absolute great little hidden gem of a Tavern. Had the French onion soup, and the Cajun chicken tortellini. The soup was perfectly balanced not too much salt. Very good flavor. The Cajun chicken tortellini was fabulous. Somehow the chicken was so tender and moist. Typically in a cream sauce it's overcooked and dry and chewy. This was absolutely moist and delicious. Sausage was just right. Very very balanced dish. Really enjoyed it. Jeanne was my waitress and she was spot on with drinks and advice on the menu. Very helpful very pleasant. Now the tavern itself is very welcoming but understand it is a tavern. I was here on a Saturday night for dinner and it was quite loud because the bar is right next to the tables. But that's to be expected at a tavern. If I wanted quiet, I'd go to church.

    Ice cold Cold Snap in a frozen glass

    New ownership has made this place even better. The place was packed last night with people escaping the feeling of cabin fever from the blizzard. Beer was ICE cold and came in a frozen glass. Wings were perfect! Plump, almost crispy exterior. Spicy medium sauce with a juicy wing on the inside. And the Potters burger is amazing too. Thick perfectly cooked patty with a stuffed banana pepper on top and a side of stuffed pepper sup on that side that you can dunk or smother you burger in. Then you finish the soup like a shot to complete your meal.

    Ordered fish fries last night and they were pretty disappointing. All of the sides were pretty bland and tiny portions. The fish itself was pretty good but nothing special. Only a 30 minute wait for takeout around 7pm though which was nice because it's hard to get a takeout fish fry on a Friday night during lent in South Buffalo without calling several places and waiting an hour and a half.

    Steak sandwich

    Called for a reservation on a Saturday evening and was seated on the patio with no wait. Ordered a draft Guinness and a vodka lemonade which were served with a short wait, the patios were busy in this phase 2 opening time. Ordered a steak sandwich and a BLT which were served promptly and were good. The steak sandwich featured an uncut steak on a roll with cheese and spinach. Really enjoyed the steak sandwich. The prices were very reasonable and the staff friendly and attentive, will be sure to return.

    Perfectly cooked medium

    Stopped here around 5pm on a Friday evening. The bar was packed, but seating was available ... by the time we left most tables were taken. It was pretty loud inside with the after work crowd, but we didn't mind it since it helped drown out the "outdoor voices" of our kids. They have a very tiny parking lot, but spots are available on the side street. We ordered the Five Alarm Burger (special of the day) and the Potters Burger. Both were cooked to a perfect medium and the buns complimented the patties - not overly "bready" but held up to the juiciness of the burgers and saucy toppings. The spicy queso sauce (on Five Alarm) had a nice zing to it and the Potters Burger is served with a large condiment cup of stuffed banana pepper soup to dip it in. You'll want to ask for a spoon to finish it up, it's that good. We also had a 1/2 breaded fish fry for $9. It was a decent size for being a half-order and with the sides, it made for a filling meal. We asked to 2 potato choices instead of slaw. It ended up being a $3 upcharge, which is a bit pricey; however, the roasted reds and sweet fries were both delicious. The sweet fries are waffle cut and lightly shaken in a cinnamon honey butter. The mac salad didn't look like anything special, but it was flavorful. I remember they used to have a non-mayo based mac salad that was fantastic ... would love for them to bring it back. It was a nice surprise to find a kids menu. $6 with fries, drink, and ice cream treat. The kids decided on the chicken fingers. They were hand breaded in Panko crumbs. Not our favorite, as the breading takes on the flavor of the oil that it is fried in. And at this particular visit, the fingers were overcooked and burnt at some of the edges. We did forget about the ice cream treat at the end, but no worries because the kids were stuffed. As for the service, the waitress was friendly and made sure we had plenty of napkins (necessity with kids and when I eat burgers). She did get busy when the dinner crowd started to roll in, so it was understandable when it took her awhile to check back. Overall this is a good spot for burgers and if you're often intrigued by specials of the day. They seem to have something for everyone - vegetarian specials, meat and potato dishes, seafood entrees, and traditional handheld options, as well as a couple unique ones.

    Turkey BLT (hold the Turkey) and sweet potato fries
    Ryli C.

    Stopped in for a late lunch with my aunt. It is a small little pub but very cozy and welcoming. All decked out for the holidays. The bartender/waitress was very personable and attentive. We started with the coconut shrimp (yummy) and then I got a BLT with sweet potato fries (I had the Turkey BLT hold the Turkey lol) and my aunt got the beef on weck that I recommended. Both delicious. Can't wait to go back.

    Depends on what you're looking for. The beer and the wings were delicious. My waitress made an excellent recommendation for Murphy's Style. If you're looking for "ales" as advertised you will likely be disappointed as those consisted of nothing more than name brands. Even a local brew was unable to be found. My waitress though excellent when ordering down the rest of my meal playing with her phone while my water glass sat empty. All in all a cute little place inside a former house right on the main road with outstanding food.

    A south buffalo Irish Staple on Potters Rd. I've been here a few times and the food is affordable and the serving size is gracious. This time around, I got the Potters Burger, which is like a banana pepper flavored burger ( I ordered it medium but it was more on the mid well -well side) - flavorful and huge with fries and a side of banana pepper sauce for dipping. My dining companions got the chicken nachos and mango-Habanero bbq wings and once again they were crowd pleasers with big portions. It was not too noisy at 3:30pm on a Monday, but often the bar is loud and crowded so plan accordingly!

    While staying in the area I looked at reviews for something decent and came across this place -…read moreGetting there around noon on a weekday, they were rather busy, so I sat at the bar and within a few minutes it was completely packed at the bar. Service from the bartender was great. He offered up some suggestions, which I needed because they have a large menu loaded with so many appetizing and amazing looking options. I started with their potstickers... They came out with a hard, fried shell and the dipping sauce went nicely with them. Enough to share, or even enough to enjoy and still have room for an entrée. My main dish was their Chicken & Waffle. This isn't some ordinary chicken and waffle, it's definitely an amped up version, made with unique and interesting ingredients, culminating in great flavors! The chicken was so large and very tender - it was amazing! The bacon and sauce on top went with it nicely, and the chive waffle was great with it! Each bite was definitely amazing! This was a great experience, I can see why they have so many reviews and such high stars, those are well-deserved stars!! Definitely recommend stopping in here!

    Service Food…read more Ambiance I had a lovely first-time dining experience at an American restaurant near Niagara Falls on a quiet Monday morning. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, which made it even more enjoyable. I ordered fried calamari along with single chicken wings tossed in an Asian sweet and spicy sauce--both dishes were flavorful and satisfying. The combination of crispy textures and bold flavors really stood out. What made the experience even better was the service. Our server was amazing--attentive, friendly, and truly great at her job. She made us feel welcome from the start. I always enjoy trying new places, and this visit did not disappoint. If you're looking for an American restaurant near Niagara Falls, this is definitely worth trying. We ended the meal with a delicious dessert,which was the perfect sweet finish to a great experience.

    After a long drive to have brunch somewhere on Elmwood, just to find the doors locked, I ventured…read moreover here to have lunch and it did not disappoint! First off, I was greeted and found staff friendly and efficient! You have plenty of options for seating .. dining area, front bar, back bar, even an outdoor patio bar. Although it is dive bar-esque, it was nice and clean (let's be honest .. some dives have a stench and stickiness that can definitely ruin your appetite, no matter how much you may love them). They have a set up for bands to play, as one was playing while I was there for their 2 year anniversary (congrats!). What was nice is although I could hear the band (it was playing in the back and I was up front), it wasn't over whelming me. I have eaten places where, no matter where you sit, it's extremely loud, and I appreciated that you had a choice here. Now onto the food: The food should have been doomed to fail; my tastebuds were prepared to eat sweet, buttery, syrupy French toast with a mocktail at brunch elsewhere. But wasn't hyped about the menu because of this (which is not dog and pony's fault .. I had to work and didn't have time to research where else brunch was available). I settled on the umami smashburger by a suggestion of my waitress. Now once again, could have been doomed to fail as I'm not a French fry person and my favorite cheeseburger is one I make on my own. BUT WOW their food blew me away and made me forget all about my brunch let-down. The French fries were fantastic and had a great seasoning on them! The smashburger was great to the last bite .. and I was NOT expecting to finish it as it was a really nice portion (I ate lunch now 10 hours ago and didn't need to eat again it was so filling!) but it was so dang gone good I sure finished it! Smoked cheddar .. chimichuri aioli ... kimchi bacon jam .. oh ya that bacon jam was EVERYTHING!! Thank you to the staff at Dog and Pony for making my long drive worth while!

    We came here for lunch because we seen so many great reviews but man, what a disappointment. The…read morebar area was nice, but the service and the food was not as everyone else described. I ordered the smash burger, my husband ordered the turkey sandwich. After we were waiting for our food for over 25 minutes, the server came over and said that he was just informed they don't have the turkey because they had an issue with that freezer. Ok, so my husband ordered the cheese steak because he was super excited for the bahn mi roll. My smash burger was alright, but the bread they use for their burgers remind me of those cheap buns you get from TOPS that just fall apart. The worst part was that they forgot the dog sauce on my burger, so I asked for the sauce, and THEY CHARGED ME FOR ASKING FOR SAUCE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO ALREADY BE ON THE BURGER I ORDERED. My husband made sure to tell me after we already left because he knew I would have fought it and our already 1.5 hour long lunch date would have been longer waiting for the refund... He ordered the cheesesteak and the sandwich was so small, and the "bahn mi bun" wasn't even toasted which is a signature for bahn mi bread. He said the flavor was fine but nothing to rave about. The worst part, for me, were the French fries that came with both of our meals. They were soooo heavily peppered that they were inedible. We asked for ketchup to try to make them tolerable, and they gave us a pre-portioned small cup of ketchup... You serve french fries with most of your menu, why isn't there ketchup on the table?!? Overall, It was a nice place to have on senrca street which used to only have the blackthorn and franchescas, but I would not eat here again.
