When I went looking at daycares when my eldest was a toddler, I immediately knew Little Rascals was it. I loved the smaller size, the festive art work and decorations made by kids and staff adorning the walls, and how organized and clean it is. It just felt like a secure and welcoming place from the start. Four years later and it is a decision we are still thrilled with! The staff are wonderful! They are constantly doing fun activities with the kids, getting them ready for kindergarten, helping to teach manners, potty training (they are amazing with helping to potty train!!), etc. The director runs the daycare extremely well and is very understanding and responsive.

I sent my son to this daycare for 4 days and had a less than pleasant experience. Back at the end…read moreof March, I contacted the owner. She had expressed that she has experience with children that fall under the Autism Spectrum. I thought that would be a great fit as son was to be evaluated for possibly being on the spectrum. We met at length, and later signed a contract to send him there for the summer. Once school started, my son would be given before and after school care. We brought my son there a day in May to get acquainted and meet some of the other kids. There was no cause for concern then. On the first day, my husband and son were greeted with a less than enthusiastic demeanor. I overlooked it being first thing in the morning. That afternoon I picked my son up, I was handed a print out of a handbook page to amend what we already signed a contract for. It was a shock that it said in bold print that she could terminate care for any reason at any time. I'm well aware a contract can be terminated for non payment or safety issues (for other children and the childcare provider), but not blindly for just any reason. The only indication of any challenges with our son is that he was difficult for breakfast a couple days, and that he was stubborn to pick up toys, and even cried for a bit. He was given cold cereal and oatmeal. My son is just picky about the texture, and I told her about that. I said he will eat anything else for breakfast as it is his favorite meal of the day. The only other issue was that he refused to pick up toys and that he got upset crying. I suggested a typical of idea of putting him in time out to remedy the situation. What really surprised me is that she said that she only puts a child in time out under extreme circumstances. Fine, that is a different point of view, but still a red flag. The biggest issue I have is that she only gave him 4 days, and was aware of him possibly being on the spectrum, pending official diagnosis. I didn't even get a chance yet to fill out a special needs form, while waiting for the diagnosis. One of the common traits being on the spectrum is a child needing time to adjust to change. That is the case with my son. After the encounter on the last day, my husband and I discussed that we were not comfortable in sending our son back there. When I reached out to agree that my son would not return, I was promptly given a refund for the week ahead that I had already paid. In the end, I am happy we could send my son back to his original daycare, but this abrupt change caused logistical concerns and more planning for the upcoming school year. That could have been planned better if the owner was up front about the contract changes before he started. We would have never sent our son there in the first place, given the blunt wording in updated handbook. As it stands now, I'm glad things happened now, and not any later to make planning for school harder. At least my son is back where he is comfortable.

The man working at the register is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet and the service here is absolutely fantastic. We ordered a handful of tacos including vegetation, chorizo, carnitas, birria and two others I can't remember. Since it was our first time here I also wanted to try some of the sides to compare to my favorite Mexican spots and we ended up with chips, queso, beans, and chocolate tres leches cake. The toppings bar is absolutely the best in Western, NY with anything that you can imagine (except for radish slices). Our food was ready in just a few short minutes and all was to our liking. My husband felt that the birria was a little bland and I thought the beans were a little too soupy, but considering the spread we ordered and the excellent service that can be forgiven. Great spot if you're willing to make the drive.

Because 4.5 isn't an option, they get a lot right, and the guy at the counter earns a bonus star all by himself. The tacos and other items taste good and are consistent. Prices ride that line between fair and slightly high depending on what you order, but I've never left feeling ripped off. It'ss clean, the lines move fast even when it's busy. There's good energy here. It's also been cool to watch them grow from a food truck in a parking lot to a full restaurant. A big part of what makes this place work is Ivan( the guy at the counter). His charisma sets the tone, keeps the team buzzing, and gives the whole place its vibe. Even if the food were a star or two lower, I'd still stop in once in a while just to support him.

I had a nice lunch here on a Friday afternoon with friends; one of them being gluten free. If you plan on dining in, be prepared that you may have to wait as the indoor dining area is not very large. They also offer patio seating on nice days, though I'm not sure how large that area is. There is a large bakery case to the right when you walk in and my GF friend gravitated there and had to order her goodies right away to make sure they were secured while we waited for our table. She ordered 2 cinnamon rolls, a cookie, a pastry heart and one more item all for under $20. She enjoyed them all, the cinnamon rolls being her favorite. We were seated in about 10 minutes and brought drinks right away. We ordered an app sampler, fries, Cluck Norris (fried chicken sandwich) and a Turkey Reuben wrap. The wrap and also the sandwich came with a choice of greens, house chips, sauteed vegetables or an upgrade to fries or onion rings. My GF friend had the apps and fries since at many places she cannot have such things: it included mozzarella sticks, pretzel nuggets, Chicken fingers and fried pickle spears with all the accompanying dippers. She said the mozz sticks were a bit too thick for her/not hot enough because there wasn't a good cheese pull, but she thought everything tasted good. The fries were thin cut and tasted good, but she prefers a thicker fry as do I. The wrap was made with real, thick sliced turkey breast, not lunch meat, which was very exciting for me. It was moist and delicious. My other friend had not complaints about her Cluck Norris sandwich. Whether or not you are gluten free, I would recommend Kith & Kin for some good quality eats & baked goods! The staff was all super friendly, from the bakery area to the wait staff, not a mean mug in the house! haha

There is a separate downstairs area with a full bar and game room. Like the Buffalo Big Ditch, it is diverse and offers options for someone looking to host an event or party. Solid.
