    Very nice little place, I'd go here more often if I was downtown more often (and who knows, maybe I will be depending on how my job goes). Fair prices and VERY friendly service, very nice. The place is clean too. The food is good, though my only complaint is that it's standard Greek fare you can get at any similar restaurant.

    I stopped here this past Thursday to get lunch. (My coworker has gotten me a $10 gift certificate for Christmas that was burning a hole in my pocket.) I ordered the gyro melt. It was fantastic! It came with fries. I ordered a strawberry shake too. It was very thick and delicious. After the $10 gift certificate, I had to pay around $7.00. The food and drink were fantastic, as was the enthusiastic and helpful employee.

    Solid food for a reasonable price. I ordered the Monday special which is the chicken finger melt - tasty and loaded with blue cheese, it could have used one additional chopped up chicken finger. Their fries are spectacular though. Also picked up the chicken souvlaki, the grilled chicken was tasty and I hate to say it but moist.

    Takis! Takis has a little piece of my heart now baby Brekky! Brekky's one thing you can get here now baby Have it! Have an open chicken souvlaki now baby You know it's Taki's if it tastes really good! Damn I should seriously go into commercials because I am that good. No? OK never mind. What to get: Open Chicken Souvlaki So this is one of the best Souvlakis in town, with delicious salad too, it's nice and greasy, it's unbelievable. The most recent time I went in the service was actually awful, she was having a very bad day and had a lot of customers to deal with, so if that happens to you, don't say I didn't warn you. Thank you to my friends who told me to go here. Honestly some of your downtown dining destinations have underwhelmed me but you were right on the button (mine) with Fables in the library and you've gone and done it again here. Taki's has unbelievable, and unbelievably cheap lunch souvlaki, average size portion and omgggg it was really good! It wasn't like some of the other souvies around here that I love (Towne, Altons, Nick's on Amherst, Spilios), it was more well done and charry tasting but it was very marinaded and I absolutely loved it. The marinade makes the souvlaki because it carries all the taste and the juice, and this marinade was utter perfection. Having had it twice now, it may be my fave Sousou in town and definitely the best one near downtown. Top 3 easily in the region and in a town with this much Souey in it, and this much good Suva in it, that is a real achievement. I really love Slak, it's one of my fave foods and it's really healthy and fairly cheap too. My little kitten Starlight adores Ski too. She says that Soki is her fave type of human ish food to eat. So there you have it. I highly recommend everyone try Taki's. If you don't, I'll come up with even MORE weird nicknames for Sovk.

    Came here for lunch and ordered the open chicken souvlaki. Warning: Don't come looking here if you like a tasty and FRESH chicken souvlaki. It's a shame, b/c the marinated chicken strips were some of the BEST and most flavorful I've ever had!!! But they serve it with what is *undoubtedly* bagged lettuce/salad. You know how pre-packaged salad mix has the vaguely chemical taste? Yup. You'll find that here... and the telltale carrot sticks/purple cabbage, iceberg mix. There was No romaine at all, which was sad b/c it's a standard at other great Greek local restaurants. It's disconcerting to eat a "salad" which is mostly WHITE in color! How is this even possible??? I find it very hard to believe that it's cheaper to buy pre-packaged salad mix versus just chopping up some heads of iceberg and romaine lettuce!!!! The only other highlight was the pita that came with it that was delicious, toasted nicely, and served warm. The greek dressing that was on the table was an absolute disappointment, also. Very very little seasoning in the jar and no "bite" or vinegar taste at all. It was seroiusly like pouring out mostly oil on your lettuce, as it had virtually no flavoring to it. Positively the WORST greek dressing I've had in Buffalo. (I have a hard time even calling it dressing since it was basically a container of oil with some seasoning flakes floating in it.) This would be zero or one star if not for the insanely good chicken. What a bummer, b/c the place is super cute and I enjoyed the setup with the elevated 2nd level looking out onto the rest of the restaurant.

    Gyro breakfast, eggs over easy.

    Best sit down business lunch downtown. Good prices and great service. The souvlaki is great and the Rueben special was to-die-for,

    Early morning, you need a simple vibe. Your emotional state should be undisturbed as the day will…read moretake of the disruption. That is to say, that first cup of coffee should have some cream and bliss in its confines. Such zen calm is caught before the crowds descend on the breakfast rush at the Swan St Diner. The long therapeutic hug that your stomach needs awaits in the early morning hours at Swan Street. In addition to the damn fine cup of coffee they brew, breakfast is there for you. from sunny side up eggs & bacon to Blueberry pancakes, the skillful kitchen crew gets it, gets me, and along with a glass of the fresh squeezed oJ, i always depart feeling like the day ahead can at least be solved a little easier since I fueled up among great food, adorably tasty hot donuts, proper coffee, laid back groovy tunes and an awesome staff, some of which took pride in having my coffee sitting on the table. I might be a tad predictable (guess I'm there with some frequency), but that has its upsides. First hour of the day has the staff ready and the groovy tunes to go along with the great food will get your day going right.

    What an awesome place! The food, vibe and energy of this place is fantastic…read more I had their homemade corned beef hash and eggs. What an incredible dish! I think it's the best corned beef hash in the area if not one of the best tasting I've ever had. Will always want to come back to this place when in the area.

    When asked where I'd like to eat, I always think first about the Smokin' Little Diner…read more It's well worth the drive from anywhere! I especially love the Hawg Wings and the Brisket Plate. Their private label BBQ sauces are great, and my favorite is Fireberry, but really they're all phenomenal! I love the kind greetings we get as we enter this nostalgic train car diner. The cozy-vibe is through the roof here! The servers are so pleasant and helpful! They make one feel right at home!

    Went back because first visit was so good! This time I pre ordered for a lunch…read more. I called in the day before. Ordering was easy and the person was very friendly on the phone. Food was ready about five minutes after my scheduled time, which for as busy as they were, I thought that was great timing. Ordered the big sampler, with pulled chicken, pulled pork, brisket and ribs! Platter is a nice size with large portions, four of us ate on it. The pulled chicken for me was a stand out, so good! 10 piece chicken wings, cheeseburger with fries, pizza logs and crab cake platter. For our sides we tried the mac and cheese, pasta salad, baked beans, mash potatoes and sweet potatoe fries. Everything was good and would get again, except the crab cakes. These were just not good, very fishy, and burnt. The pizza logs were huge! The Mac and cheese had no seasoning, but was cheesy and after little salt and pepper wasn't to bad. Definitely on my top three favorite BBQ spots! I forgot pictures, but enjoy the video!
