    Stopped here to hang out with some friends for a Beer Blast and while I didn't take advantage of the pool table or dart board, I had a great time chatting with friends. Cheap beer, 3 for $5 Coors Light, plus two shots, costs me $10. I did try the wings and I don't know if it was the beer or that I was starving (maybe it was neither) but they were great! Loved the medium sauce, they piled it on perfectly, best wing sauce I've had in awhile. The wings were crispy, I didn't mind that at all, enjoyed them very much! I haven't been to a bar like this in quite sometime but most bars in Buffalo know how to make some great wings and that's why the locals frown when people tell them Duff's and Anchor Bar have the best wings. It's just not true! I probably wouldn't visit again though unless invited to meet some friends out. The local dive bar scene isn't my thing unless I'm going somewhere everyone knows my name and this isn't it. I was gonna rate this place a 3 based on the cheap beer and great wings alone but I recall a guy that was in the kitchen, coming out and going out of his way to serve us a couple beers because he saw the bartender was busy on the other end of the bar and I like when people take notice and go out their way to be helpful. Thank you!

    The Good: local feel. The Bad: don't accept credit cards; ATM machine with a fee for cash; pour for drinks is very lame (see picture) it's like less than a shot in a tiny glass!!!!

    My favorite hole in the wall! Darts, cheap drinks, and the best wings I've ever had!

    The crowd in the bar that didn't belong to our beer blast were friendly as well.

There are not enough gluten free options - I had to be creative with what I ordered. They have gluten free rolls if you want a sandwich but everything else will have gluten, thus the Cesar salad without the croutons. It's very pricey as well. My side salad and side order of the Boxty potatoes came to $19 before the tax. With tax and tip - $25. You could get other salads without croutons or wheat as well. I really wanted to try the vegetarian shepherds pie but couldn't because the server said there's wheat in the gravy. They have no gluten free beers as far as I could tell and no mocktails. I probably won't be back.

    I can definitely see the appeal of this place on a hot, sunny day, but for me it's more of a…read moreone-and-done experience. We were greeted right away when we walked in, which was a great start. However, after being seated on the patio, we waited about 20 minutes before a server came over. Drinks also took quite a while to arrive. I ordered a brown sugar bourbon cocktail, but it was disappointing--basically just tasted like straight bourbon with little to no flavor. For food, I tried the Reuben poutine appetizer ($20). Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the price. The cheese seemed very processed--hard to even describe, and definitely not what I expected. The fried Reuben itself was just okay, but overall it felt overpriced for what it was. In the end, I wouldn't necessarily discourage someone from trying it, but it's not somewhere I'd personally return to. The experience just didn't match the cost or leave much of a positive impression.

    Finally got around to check this place out and I am happy I did, just wish I didn't wait so long to…read moredo so. I went there to try the chicken wings that I have been hearing about and reading about for so long but I had no idea about thier poutine fries and just how outstanding they were. Honestly if you like that kind of thing it may be worth visiting this place just to try thier poutine fries. We ordered both Cajun wings and mild wings. The Cajun were outstanding, cooked to absolute perfection, these weren't the dry rubbed Cajun that I was used to having, I believe it was a Cajun butter sauce they were tossed in which was absolutely terrific and I would probably have them tied at first place out of all the Cajun wings I have tried so far. The mild wings were just as good and also cooked to perfection, I would say they are possibly top 2 for me. We also ordered the Guinness stout burger and the garlic bread. The garlic bread was pretty good, had a bit of spice to it. The Guinness burger was good had better but it was definitely good and would order it again. We had nice window seats and the staff was very attentive and friendly, as good as it gets pretty much. Very reasonably priced for sure, especially when you consider quality of what you are actually getting, definitely a good deal. Definitely need to get back there and try out their other wings. Check out the images here of the crispy Cajun wings and the poutine fries. 4.4 out of 5.

The smitty wings just tasted like mild buffalo sauce and the honey cajun was pretty good. My issue was with the "ranch" sauce because it tasted like straight horseradish and every bite left a bitter aftertaste. The poutine fries would've been good if they didn't make the gravy with the power of the pacific ocean with how salty it is. All time favorite is def it's the hot honey pizza rolls, so bomb!

There is an outdoor patio to enjoy during warm weather, which I will be sure to check out again this summer. Village of Williamsville favorite and I'm glad I finally tried it. Food 4/5- it's not a place that you come for dinner. But if you'd like to have a side with your beer or cider, there are a few selections. I ordered from the daily special menu a grilled cheese sandwich with buffalo chicken inside with chips $5.00 not bad. You really come here for the alcoholic drink so keep that in mind. I had a glass of white wine since I'm not a beer drinker. Service 5/5- bartender was friendly and took our orders right away.

Unfortunately a few minutes after I landed, they closed the kitchen. I think it was about 1030 which sucked. So instead we snagged a drink. We had a gin and sprite, a wayward lane fine print ale, and an IPA which was okay. I forgot the name of it. Small place to sit inside. Maybe good for 30 people. Decent amount outside maybe 20. So it's not a huge plane but the noise coming from it was loud and so it had pretty decent energy. There was also an intense game of cornhole happening as well.
