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!

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.

Everything was delicious but I couldn't finish it all - so the Mr. got extra. He didn't complain! Haha Since we were both so stuffed, we took cannolis to go.

Another great pizza spot for the books…read more I'm honestly surprised how different Buffalo pizza is compared to Jersey and NYC. You'd think they would be pretty similar, but Buffalo definitely has its own style. I'm a truck driver and was hauling a load from Buffalo to North Carolina, so finding a good pizza spot where I could get a 53-foot tractor-trailer close enough was a challenge. Somehow I got lucky and found a nearby no-parking bus stop for a very quick stop. If you look at my picture, you can actually see my 18-wheeler peeking out from behind the bushes. I ran inside, ordered two pepperoni slices for $10.98, and was surprised by how huge they were. I was expecting NYC-style triangles but got big rectangular slices instead. The crust was crisp underneath with a soft, chewy interior, the sauce-to-cheese ratio was really good, and the crispy cup-and-char pepperoni was easily the highlight. The sauce had a slight sweetness without being overpowering. I also asked for ranch but ended up with Bleu cheese instead, and honestly I'm glad I did because it was really good. The place was clean, the service was quick and friendly, and the pizza was excellent. If I'm ever back in Buffalo, I'd definitely stop here again.

So one pie it was. After placing my order at the window, my slices were handed over nice and hot, knowing that I did not want a hot cheese mess in my lap while driving I went home and immediately went to work on these slices. Only being able to eat one of the two my hankering for pizza was satisfied shout out to that incredible bleu cheese for making those last few bites even more amazing. This is still top-tier elite level pizza for Buffalo.

Crispy and honey bbq, I got a sparse amount of sauce on the wings, definitely a little disappointed there, no sauce to scrape up and "dip" the wings in. Fries were crispy and went well with their bleu cheese (which I'm still a fan of). Only thing I'd recommend is cleaning up some of the viewable spots from the customer pick up window.
