One of the best breakfasts I've ever had... the Latin skillet was absolutely divine and I can not wait to return Service was beyond exceptional. My water glass was stained with lipstick and the horrid face my waiter made when I told him was great! It made me laugh but showed a level of care I haven't seen from staff elsewhere. Place was a lot bigger than expected when I drive by on Deleware. Love the art from local artists displayed through out the dining area. Sad I didn't get a pic but I will for sure next time! read more

Peanut butter banana milkshake (with chocolate ice cream) 9/10 This is really good, you can taste all three flavors pretty well. I just wish it was a tad more peanut buttery. Benedict flight The eggs were cooked great, and the Hollandaise was not too bad. I can't tell if it was homemade or from a package though. - Chesapeake (special) 9/10 The crab cake was pretty good, and had a strong crabby smell. - Florentine 8/10 Spinach was cooked fine, just a tad wilted. I wish there was a tomato slice though. - Traditional 9/10 I liked that they use Peameal bacon. - Home fries 6/10 I only ate 1 bite, love that it was real potatoes and not the frozen ones, i think I would prefer them a little crispier though. Bloody Mary 8/10 Spicy! Just a bit too spicy. Meat lovers skillet 10/10 Eggs, sunny side up- cooked perfect. All the meats were juicy and flavorful. The Hollandaise on top was good. Very filling dish. read more

Took my father here to enjoy a breakfast and it was amazing . I had the Eggs Benedict trio and my father had the Surge Breakfast both had amazing texture and depth of flavor. Once you walk into the Restaurant the ambiance is one of an upscale diner.. welcoming you with art work on the walls and an artistic view of Italy. While here we met the Owner Surgo and his staff were accommodating and friendly. I recommend this restaurant for breakfast and will be coming back read more

Classic breakfast, super nice staff. Large restaurant with plenty of tables and seating, support for local artists and classic breakfast fare. I can't vouch for other meals, but I came with family while we were in town for breakfast. Portion sizes are large and the food was solid. Owner was super nice and I can see why my family are regulars here! read more

Surge Restaurant - Two egg breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kenmore, New York

The food here is very good. Especially the egg dishes. The servers are pleasant. So are the tables and seating. The bread isn't great and takes away a star. There are so many local places making great bread, I'd encourage the business to start working with one of them. The bread we had with our meals was not the same standard as the meal itself. Street parking. read more

Went here for breakfast and they have the traditional breakfast options many with a Greek twist to them. Be aware there are parking lots behind the building as well as metered parking in the street. Service was friendly and the restaurant interior is interesting and welcoming read more

Surge Restaurant - Spartan Omelette, which comes with toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kenmore, New York

We like to avoid crowds so we went on a Monday around 11am. It still got decently busy after we arrived, but the ambiance was still calm and I was able to hear my husband. Our server was Hunter and he was fantastic. He helped me decide on my order which was helpful and I was very pleased with his suggestion of the Gyro Skillet. The food was cooked to perfection. It was a large portion too so I took the leftovers for tomorrow! The chef brought out our food and was very kind as well. My husband loved trying three different kinds of Benedict, I think that's a cool option to have a Benedict flight. We love this place, definitely recommend! Their menu is full of options so we will have to come back to try more delicious food! read more

The owner I presume was the only one serving. Took forever to get food which wasn't that good, almost needed a steak knife to cut the pancakes. Other food was cold. Coffee was good tho. Won't be read more

Surge is the go-to choice for our group of 3 long-time friends to get together for lunch. The menu offers a large assortment of Breakfast/lunch/dinner items, beverages, and desserts. The service is impeccable and welcoming. Tables are comfortably separated by decorative doors so we never feel our laughter intrudes on others. read more

The owner was serving on his own and kept everything moving with a smile and a joke! Wonderful food and service ! A++++++

Better and better and better. This restaurant is hitting its stride. The service is good, food is tasty, and the ambience is good. I'm glad they are there. read more

I feel this is a hidden gem because you can drive right by it and not know it's there. Classic dinner like food. The blueberry pancakes were delicious so I'd love to try some of the other options. Service is very friendly. Plenty of tables and the wait wasn't long even on a Sunday which I was kinda surprised but happy. read more

Try the pancakes - they're soooooo good! Be sure to always tell them to cook the home fries extra crispy - otherwise they're too mushy imo. The new owner is so friendly and always stops by to say hello - so glad they took over - it's my go-to for breakfast! read more

My friend suggested this place and we went during lunch hour on a weekday and it wasn't too busy. We got seated right away. Cute and cozy place. Great place for brunch or dessert :) I didn't order any brunch food. I went straight for the dessert. It was so good. Super light! My friends both ordered desserts too. They really enjoyed theirs. I will come back for the breakfast/brunch food though. Great place to eat and chat with friends! read more

We walked in for breakfast, I was finishing up an iced latte on the way in and the host just stared at us. Confused why we weren't being acknowledged, we asked for a table for two. He just pointed at my drink and so I asked if it was ok for me to finish it there. He said "nope it's not" and laughed. That was an unnecessarily rude interaction so we decided to bring our business elsewhere. A simple "I'm sorry we don't allow outside beverages in our dinging area" would have been completely reasonable and we would have happily obliged. UTA: Apparently the 'host' we encountered is the owner. read more

Great service fresh ingredients! Great vibes inside the restaurant you are greeted by the owner at your table and thanked for your business with them! read more

Food was okay, it just took us a hour and ten min to get in out of there. We only ordered eggs bacon and toast which took 45 min to get with such little people inside eating. read more

Visited this Kenmore restaurant on a Friday to try their fish fry. We were quickly seated and our drink and food order was immediately taken by a pleasant waitress. As we waited there was music and subdued lighting. The restaurant was just about full, seems the secret is out. They were not properly staffed for such a rush though. The poor waitress was having to run all over. Our food arrived overflowing and hot. The fish fry was delicious and so big there were leftovers to bring home. It came with Mac salad, coleslaw, and fries. All were delicious. We dove right into the fish fry so pictures of that will have to be taken next time! We will be back! ~D&B read more

MUST EXPERIENCE I can't say enough good things about this restaurant and if I could I would give it many more stars! A friend and I have been meeting for breakfast about once a month and we randomly chose from the many good restaurants in Buffalo... until we went to Surge.. it has now become our regular spot! Ambiance, decor, distance between tables, friendly and fun service, no matter how crowded we never have to wait long for our food. AND THE FOOD, well despite the competition in Buffalo it is honestly the best I have ever tasted. Consistently served to order, accommodating every preference cheerfully. The reason I decided to write a review is because the last time I dined with my mother and sister the owner surprised me with two items that he knew I would like. I was skeptical but they were amazing! Obviously can't say enough good things about this warm welcoming family owned restaurant!! read more

Extremely disappointing visit. We waited 30 minutes for our coffee, which included spoiled 1/2 & 1/2. We waited an hour and 15 minutes for our food to arrive(only 4 of us). When the food arrived, it was literally cold and not correct. The poached eggs were hard. I had to wait 5 minutes for the hollandaise sauce and toast. The owner did come to the table to try to explain why. Only the coffee was taken off the bill. That was an unacceptable "fix" to the big problems. We will not be back. If you go I hope your experience is better. read more

Came here for lunch but ended up getting breakfast! Never been here and glad we came. Got the Apple cinnamon French toasts and the rio grande skillet! Both phenomenal! Came on a Monday afternoon so not too busy. Place is nicely decorated! Will be back for lunch some day! read more

Ordered Take out for 4. I've dined in and taken out here before, picture for reference, comfortable place and clean and tidy. Surge Burger for me, so I'll review that specificity since that's what I ate. Dolmas Pita, Lemon Rice Soup, Souvlaki Salad and Tuna Melt along with Falafel App for the rest of the family. Food was (and always is) freshly made, with quality ingredients - everyone was pleased and all meals were flavorful. The Surge Burger, stuffed with Chipotle peppers, fried peppers and onions and Cheddar Melted just right- and cooked exactly medium as I asked was excellent. Season fries to go along were the perfect touch. So when I arrived home, one of our dishes was not included in the bag. Here's where the story gets great. My expectation was that I would call and they would apologize and tell me we'll have it ready for you in a few minutes to pick up, (we live close) or we can refund you. I mean, that's the most I expect, and what every other restaurant seems to offer - happens often since Covid and we are understanding. Not this time. The owner answered the phone, addressed me by name, he took personal accountability and apologized profusely. He made the missing entree in minutes, drove it to my house on a 25 degree night, added a little extra bonus, and apologized in person. There was a time that this was "normal" and just the right way to do business. I never thought I would experience that level of care again. He was genuinely upset, it was the most sincere apology I've received over something that was not that big a deal. Surge (Sergio I believe) has won us over. Not only is the food excellent, he genuinely cares about the experience he delivers to customers at a level that most restaurants abandoned long ago. He went far out of his way. I didn't expect my best dining experience this year to be local take out, but the situation start to finish was exceptional, and so is the gentleman that owns this establishment. As I have said, we've been here before, but like to have. "Go to" place that we order from more than others. Surge became that place last night. read more

Surge Restaurant - Really comfortable space. Taken from bar while picking up take out. Very clean. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kenmore, New York

Not so great, at all. Been there for breakfast, no attention to filling up coffee, asking how the meal is. Not crowded and poor service. Went back recently for breakfast pickup. bagel freezer burned and so hard it was inedible. remainder of sandwich same, inedible. Will not return. read more

What a great hidden gem in Kenmore. I usually don't take half of my breakfast home but there was no way I was finishing the Greek Skillet this morning. Gyro, peppers, onions, potatoes with two over easy eggs on top, and sprinkled with feta cheese was so delicious I really wanted to finish it all but was just too much for even me. Absolutely delicious, cooked and seasoned perfectly. Service was great, prices are on point for the amount of food that you get. It was great to see the owner, Sergio, come out and greet his patrons and make sure everything was okay with all the tables, always a sign of a caring establishment. When in Kenmore try to get to Surge, you won't be sorry. read more

Surge Restaurant - Strawberry Fields - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kenmore, New York

I have been to Surge a couple times now and DoorDashed it once. Food: The first couple times I got food from Surge was for brunch. Their breakfast menu is huge but both times I went for my favorite: Chocolate Chip Pancakes. They were delicious, even the time I DoorDashed them. The home fries were okay. Nothing special. The third time I went was for dinner with my partner. He was excited to go for dinner because he is of Columbian descent and we found out they serve some traditional Columbian dishes. I got the fish fry that night after hearing people rave about it, but it was pretty bleh. It wasn't flavorful at all and the sides were not the best. Service: The service at Surge has always been good, even when busy. When DoorDashing it was a little delayed but i assumed it was because it was peak brunch hours. Ambiance: The restaurant is cozy and well decorated. It's pretty quiet even during brunch hours. Overall, the food is pretty meh. I appreciate the unique menu items as does my partner. I would still go to Surge again despite that but will probably stick with breakfast food. read more

I've been here 2 times for breakfast/brunch and each time it was consistent with great food, great service, and awesome ambiance. The decor is so cute, it's a large space, and there's a bar inside with lunch and dinner options as well. We ordered the 2+2+2 and Rio Grande Skillet. Both were very delicious and our server was excellent. This will be a regular spot for us. read more

Wife and I walked in on a weekend morning a few weeks ago expecting to have some breakfast. There were a few tables with people, and seemingly sufficient labor for the volume. Not that busy. We sat down, a waitress brought our menus. Then nothing. We sat for 15 minutes and walked out after being passed by without acknowledgement several times. Ended up going to the coffee shop across the street. I can only assume that either they didn't want our business... or they really need an experienced front end person to straighten stuff like that out. I gather that they're all family and they don't want to take a professional approach. That's not going to work in a town with such a competitive food scene. Had take out once before that. Lox bagel sandwich and a standard eggs, bacon and toast breakfast. Both were really good. Expected better than the zero-star service we got when we went in. Might try again, might not. Hope they get it together. read more

We stopped here shortly before closing last night as it was on the few places open and we had no idea where to go and we were pleasantly surprised. While we just got our food to go quick, it was very nice looking inside. The business is run by a family and everyone seemed very friendly. No cared that we were there so close to closing and treated us well with a smile. I got a lamb gyro which was cooked perfectly with a delicious tzatziki sauce - which surprised me because I don't normally like cucumber anything. The pita was well done and tasted homemade. The side of fries were so good I thought that I didn't need ketchup or salt. We never intended to go there and now we can't wait to go back! read more

Surge Restaurant - Gyro Pita & French Fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kenmore, New York

I've been here a few times. The breakfast skillet it's typically great (most times I've gotten the gyro meat) . This time I got the beef, it was average. The gyro is much better IMO. Substituting pancakes for toast is an upcharge, but usually it's worth it (at most places). This time they were basically silver dollar pancakes. Not worth it. Our server was nice, the food was good (my friend got the avalanche french toast), but I won't return. The reason: when I got the check, there was a change for "Kitchen Love." Granted, it was nominal ($1 for each meal). But as someone who spent years in F&B, it is ridiculous where the customer is forced to pay the kitchen staff. read more

My husband and I are repeat customers for the steak and egg breakfast so I can only comment on that. The steak is very tender and juicy in the eggs are good. I'll keep coming back. read more

I did a takeout order from here and really enjoyed both the items I had. I had the patty melt which came with fries and the chicken souvlaki poutine. Both are flavorful and few things can top a delicious patty melt on that rye bread. I forgot to take pictures but for being to go orders they have a nice presentation and the pick up process was really easy from a friendly staff member. A note on the interior of the place, it's quite spacious in there and definitely looks like a nice dining environment, so I'll have to go back and check it out in the future. read more

First time here in this long narrow restaurant. Formerly Vasilis Eggsperience. . Very busy this Sunday morning. . Staff was attentive and helpful with my breakfast selections. Started with a cup of brewed coffee. The breakfast I had two extra large eggs fried over easy two six inch pancakes, home fries ham and a small fruit cup. The food was prepared quickly came out hot. I thought the eggs were overcooked and the server offered to replace them however I declined. Overall the plate of food was delicious and filling. Service was very good. I enjoyed the Eggsperience anyway I intend to return. read more

Its really a shame because one would have high hopes for the food here, but it's the Buffalo equivalent of lipstick on a pig. The food is inedible, often times not cooked properly. The kitchen staff don't seem to comprehend what properly cooking potatoes are, or what black rotting parts of potatoes are. So they'll just throw them in all the same. I've tried eating from here now five separate times, each one worse than before. Avoid this place at all costs, its clear that they don't care about the food or health standards for food safety. Photo below is exactly how my food was handed to me, so it's clearly been throwing in with little concern for quality. read more
