    I came here around 2 weeks ago with a big group of friends to go bowling for my birthday . I was not able to reserve lanes in advance, but I thought coming in to reserve 4 lanes that evening would be easy on a Sunday night ... it was not . The staff made us feel like we were a hassle - insisted on all names and payments up front for all 21 of us, however, I didn't know if some people were bringing a plus one nor did I know how many games they all wanted to play . We are all in our 30s-40s and not a troublesome bunch . Even if they were able to help us get situated in the meantime instead of being so rigid with our large group (which did in fact spend quite a bit of money there) , it would have relieved some of the stress on both ends . We eventually got everything squared away, because thankfully everyone arrived within 20 minutes of the event time and everyone cooperated. The lanes did work well with no mishaps and everyone seemed to have fun . I didn't order food but it was said to be average fast food fare . I would go to Strikers again , but not as a large party, as they seem to prefer you to book a party separately (not economically feasible for me ) or deal with smaller groups . FYI - it is $16 for 2 games of bowling and shoe rental - not sure if that is comparable to other facilities .

    Dry turkey club. Order mayo all you want. You won't get it.

    I've been coming here for years. Always a fun time. The staff is amazing, very friendly. The atmosphere is good. The floors could be better, you won't slide much. The food however good. No matter how many times you ask for mayo on your sub you will not get it. You will get a dry SUB EVERY TIME. So ask for mayo on the side so that you can add it yourself. (Not that you should have to for the price) The kids love the arcade too. And you can't go wrong with their chicken fingers or wings.

    Yes, this is a bowling alley! And the bar and restaurant is always packed. Insanely great beer selection, lots of tables and room at the bar, great service, and reliable food.

    A friend of mine used to bartend here on Saturday nights. We have eaten here many times and it's always good. Today I was out to get my Mom groceries during the COVID19 isolation and decided to grab a pizza. Was quoted 20 minutes on the phone and sure enough the pizza was ready to go when we got there. Quick and efficient take out experience!

    How do you serve a steak sub and half the roll has NOTHING on it? This shouldn't even leave the kitchen. Roast beef was very dry and we couldn't eat it. After paying the bill, left there hungry!

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.

    When it comes to the local Buffalo specialty of chicken wings, every local has a strong opinion as…read moreto where to find the best. I visit the city every year in the fall, and I am still trying all of the wing places that have been recommended. The latest on my list was Doc Sullivan's, a very, VERY local watering hole. This is the kind of place that makes you immediately remember that you are absolutely not from here, but in the best possible way. Doc's is a historic, no-frills neighborhood pub smack in the heart of South Buffalo's Irish Heritage district. The second we walked in as clearly obvious outsiders, the entire room of rough-and-tumble regulars seemed to pause their conversations, turn towards the door, and stare at us. Even the bartender (who also doubled as the host and our waiter) clocked us immediately with a cheerful, "Hey visitors!" It was hilarious and broke the awkwardness we were starting to feel. Everyone was incredibly nice and welcoming once the moment passed, but it was clear we stood out from the regular crowd. If you have an aversion to dive bars, this is not the place for you because Doc's is not fancy. It's well-worn and smells like Fabuloso cleaner mixed with stale cigarette smoke and old beer. I was surprised at how clean the place was, but it does have that dive bar smell and feel. I felt like I'd walked onto a movie set because this place screams Buffalo, and does so loudly and proudly. I'm not a fan of chicken wings, but my hubby is. Food-wise, he ordered a half dozen of the famous Smitty Wings at the suggestion of the bartender, which come coated in the house's unique spiced butter sauce along with a half dozen with hot sauce. He liked the Smitty wings fine, but preferred the classic hot Buffalo wings, which he said had legit heat and were "more than decent." Not his all-time favorite wings, but still tasty and meaty enough to earn his respect. I went with the buffalo chicken sandwich, which was massive. It was a fried chicken breast patty on a super soft, fresh roll with lettuce, tomato, and onions, tossed in a mild Buffalo sauce that had just enough heat for a timid spice girl like me. The quality was good, but not great, and it was basically the same chicken sandwich you can get at dozens of places around town (it was very similar to the same menu item at the Anchor Bar, for example). The fries were nothing special, and they tasted like regular old french fries you'd get at your local deli. They were freshly fried, hot and crispy, and we both appreciated that malt vinegar was already on the table. We had a good experience at Doc Sullivan's, but agreed that we would not go out of our way to eat here again. I wouldn't call it a must-do for foodies, but I'm still really glad we went. While the food wasn't all that memorable, it felt like a true local Buffalo experience that you don't get at polished, tourist-friendly spots. This is the place if you want to soak up local character and are seeking another stop on your buffalo wing eating tour.

    I was really looking forward to this stop of our 8 stop tour. We got medium and beef on weck wings…read more. The neighborhood was one of the nicest of our whole trip. The restaurant was really cool .... But The wings tasted liked they fried in the same oil as fish and it was just of putting. I wish I could have gotten past that but it was in my mind as I was trying the wings. Hopefully it was just a fluke and everyone else has a great experience. We don't live close so the chance I trying them again will probably be rare.

We generally go on Thursday nights…read morewhen burgers are half off (basically if you only get water to drink, then you're getting two meals under 20$ before tip. That's pretty solid). We met up with some friends about 6pm, it was pretty busy, but it's usually like post work people at the bar enjoying and camaraderie. We sat in the covered patio area, after grabbing some menus from the bar. For those new to this, you order your food at the bar if you're not eating right at the bar. The folks here that work are super kind, and I see the same two every time I come in so it's pretty consistent. The four of us ordered some drinks, burgers and a specialty flavored basket of wings. It came out pretty quickly for how busy it was. We all demolished our food, and spent a good two hours there just chatting and catching up. I'm a creature of habit and got the black and blue burger with fries. I also got the cider. My boyfriend got the prohibition signature burger with tots, and the seasonal Pumpking beer. We got the chili garlic wings and those were solid. Drowned in sauce and crispy. Our friends got the Bern burger with tots and the prohibition signature turkey burger with onion rings. They got a beer and a Cabernet respectively. I really enjoyed my cider and they enjoyed their drinks. The burgers were on point as always, and I enjoy my fries with vinegar and ketchup. Onion rings and tots were nice and crispy without being greasy. No complaints at all here. Will be back soon.

Overall, the food was excellent, but the service could definitely use improvement.
