    Game time!
    Brandon L.

    Can't say enough about this little plaza bar. I've lived down street for the last 7 years. Already tons of fun memories here. It is my default bar, strong first choice for wings, even had a bday party here. It may be a typical run of the mill neighborhood sports bar, but it has good space, comfortable layout, TVs everywhere, reasonable drink prices, decent selection, seemingly well kept, and always pretty good service. The real secret ace-in-the-hole here? The food. Everything that comes out of that kitchen is f***ing dynamite. It's a super small menu of mostly just bar food, but just wow. Such quality. It really makes me not want to eat any other bar food. I think their wings easily deserve a "Top 5" spot for Buffalo-area wings. Says right on the menu, please allow at least 30 mins for wings so we can cook them properly. It's the only place where I don't have to say extra crispy, thank you for that. I've probably ate here 50 times now and never once had a bad food experience, always perfect. I'll never stop, can't stop!

    Haven't been in but got takeout tonight and it was pretty tasty. We've seen this place every time we pick up Chinese takeout and it always looks to be hopping. We're not bar types but love bar type food. I ordered the grilled bbq chicken sandwich with Gouda, bacon, onion petals, tomato and lettuce. It was really tasty. I've always wanted to find a grilled chicken sandwich that was actually good and craveable. Cheese bacon bbq and fried onions can do a lot for a naked chicken breast yo. The bun was grilled. The chicken had a nice grilled flavor with a tasty bbq hint and was not dry. The sandwich came with tator tots that were actually seasoned and crispy. Win. They did a great job packing for takeout too. The tomato and lettuce were separate from the cheesy bacon chicken side and nothing was soggy when I assembled this monster sandwich. The boyfriend had beef on weck. The beef came in a separate container so his sandwich wasn't soggy either. He said, "Schwabls it ain't. But it's good." He also had wings and enjoyed them as well.

    Their wings were all crispy and delicious, even the ones that had been sauced heavily.

The place was full and hopping when we walked in and our table was ready. We sat down and were immediately greeted by our friendly waitress for our drink orders. The menu is huge and everything sounds good; they also had a special drink menu and seasonal food specials. Making a choice was hard! When our food arrived, we all loved it! It looked good and tasted even better! YUM! Great service overall, would recommend, but know that it is very loud in there when it's full and hard to have a productive conversation.

Was really nice to find a place that was open and not disgruntled for serving during a storm. We got a pizza, the diesel burger and the shaved steak sandwich. Their pizza is always really good. I have got it here at least 10 times. They have pizza and bucket specials if you're coming with 4+ people. We got a barbecue drizzle on half of our pizza, not sure I would get that again. Sweet Pizza is just a little odd. But, personal preference. The burger was done perfectly. It was the diesel burger with bacon added. The steak sandwich was really good... no chewy bits, which you sometimes get when ordering a steak sandwich at other places. Can't go wrong with Buffalo Sports Garden, there's always something tasty on the menu that would appeal to a lot of different people. Their beer selection is also really good as well and they have plenty of parking, tons of bar seating and a lot of tables. There are also some pinball/dart boards in there.

The craziest part about it is that Winfield's Pub is literally just 10 minutes from my House. A conveniently small place that packs big Bold Flavors. Like as you are driving down Ridge Road towards the main Lackawanna area. A place that if you want to enjoy, you'd have to park in front of it or park on the Side Streets of the neighborhood across from it and walk over. After trying out their Food at a Stillwater Farm Dinner consisting or Birria Tacos and Sausage stuffed Chicken Breast. To me that was a nice welcoming Card telling me to come right away instead of wasting more time ignoring the Place. You walk up 3 Steps and in you are greeted by the Owner's wife Sherryl, the Owner and the Head of Winfield's (Tab Daulton) is running the show making sure food gets pumped out of their Small Kitchen. While their son Thomas is at the Bar making Cocktails of the highest Quality with some of the most unique names that I've ever heard. My 1st visit was enjoying a Birthday Dinner with loved ones in the center of the Restaurant. While going over the menu, I had my 1st Cocktail called The Ghostwriter in a tall cylindrical glass that had Gin, Herbal Liqueur, Coconut, Lime, Lemongrass Syrup & Dill. Sweet and Herbaceous. Next up was some Fresh made Focaccia Bread studded with Rosemary, Garlic, Tomatoes and Zucchini that was so Warm and Flavorful like it just came right out the Oven. You know I like to drink Beer and cook with it too, I couldn't help but get myself a cup of their Beer Cheese soup with Bratwurst and Housemade Croutons. Every single Spoonful I took was Rich with a hint of Spicy heat at the end. Next up was a plate off Duck Confit Poutine with Goat Cheese (I opted for that instead of Cheese Curds). You might look at it and see a big globby mess but what I saw and what I ate was pure Gluttonous Heaven. French Fries, bits of Rich and Tender Duck Meat and mild and Tangy Cheese which equaled a comforting Bite. Next was another Cocktail I got called the Dirty Harry (named after one of Clint Eastwood's best-known roles). Another drink that hit hard consisting of Pineapple, Doctor Bird Rum, Boomsa Herbal Liquor and Banana Shrub Jam. While waiting for my main course, I tried some of Nathan's BBQ Pork Belly Burnt Ends. Who doesn't like tender Pieces of Meat with the outside bring Crispy while the Meat inside just melts away on your Tongue. For our Entrees, everyone enjoyed something different like Nathan and Brianna having Seared Chicken with Vegetables, Mike enjoying a Burger, Rick just getting a few Appetizers, Grandma Carol eating Fish Tacos, Jimmy and Kathy enjoying a Steak. While I got myself Seared Scallops over Sweet Corn Risotto with Tarragon. This looked to me and ate like a Summer Dish, why on earth was it on the Menu during close to Fall/Winter, I don't know. But I'll say this, I loved every bite, you get Sweetness from both the Seafood and the Corn with the Tarragon at the end giving it a light hit of Licorice. Thomas kindly gave me a Complimentary Drink while waiting for Dessert called the Legislation #2. It had Rye Whiskey, Dry Vermouth, Orange Cognac and Acidic Phosphate. While it had all those Ingredients, it was a simple looking Drink with a Jurassic sized Ice Cube in it. But I will say this, this drink packed one heck of a Potent Punch. To finish off the Meal, I got myself a big slice of Guinness Chocolate Cake. One of my favorite Beers has been Transformed into a Dessert. It had such a Deep chocolate Flavor with richness from the frosting packed in between each layer. I walked over and personally thank Tab and his Crew for the great Food that night. The only issue we had was waiting to get our Checks, but other than that everything went great. Another one to cross off my list, another restaurant that I will no longer Ignore. Winfield's better be ready for some more Visits from me in the Future. !!!

    My first time dining at this location. The atmosphere is lodge meets glam - a little disjointed,…read morebut everything is sharp lines and clean. The menu was overwhelming in the best way. My dining companions & I agreed we had a difficult time choosing our entrees. Amongst the table, we shared the donut flight (chocolate, powdered sugar, and brown sugar cream cheese) and the sweet potato pecan pancakes. It was a unanimous vote that the brown sugar cream cheese donut was the best (and sadly, the powdered sugar donut was tough to cut with a fork and dry in texture). For my meal, I opted for the queso and pork stuffed chilaquiles verde burrito. The shell was crisp and the pork was tender but I could have used more verde sauce. The only downside was being the first patrons of the day and having to sit through nearly half our meal before drinks were refilled. I enjoyed the breakfast old fashioned before we left and look forward to the next brunch opportunity.

Food: 0/10 Alright this is the third time I've come to this location. I'm trying to be fair but the bad food is consistent. For instance tonight I got the "campfire" plate which was fries, Mac and cheese, chicken, and brisket. Fries? Too hot to eat first. Mac and cheese? Literally colder than room temp and DRY! No cheese...like cold dry noodles? The brisket was slimy and small portion sized, the chicken was fine I guess. Everything else was so gross though by the time I got to the chicken I didn't care. I've come every time with my family of 4, and all 3 experiences were the same. I wish the food was anything but what it is because I'd love to come back here. I'll never recommend it and I'm actually just going to give away my $100 gift card to anyone who wants to dare to eat here.

Instead, the place felt more like a cavernous tourist stop than the legendary wing destination I had imagined. The wings were good, but not great. We ordered them dry so we could try several sauces. The wings were cooked perfectly. The sauces, however, were underwhelming. We tried the garlic parmesan, the original, and the extreme heat sauce, which I believe used to be was called "Suicidal." They all seemed to rely almost entirely on cayenne and butter, with limited complexity and less heat than expected. Maybe I've been spoiled by other wing spots with more creative sauces and better blue cheese and ranch, but these just didn't stand out. That said, the service was great, and I appreciated the staff. I'm glad I went for the history, but based on the food alone, it didn't live up to the hype. I will not go back.
