Today we all ordered barbecue barbecued chicken fingers, barbecue, boneless wings, and a barbecued pot roast sandwich Portions were very large, we each took some home in the container The barbecue, no doubt was some commercially made sauce, but it had a good flavor, although it was applied in the most generous manner. Perhaps barbecue on the side would've been a better choice. But everything was delicious. We enjoyed our interactions with Emily, Will be back again soon, I am sure.

They were that good and on our minds after our initial visit. Both times we visited the location was busy and we had to wait in a small line. Service is very efficient and they take care of you quickly once you're at the counter. All of the donuts we ordered were perfect. One of the kids got a limited edition burger donut with proceeds being donated to the local Ronald McDonald house. It was a very inventive donut with glazed donuts as the burger buns, half a chocolate glazed as the burger patty, and different creams making up the cheese and condiments. So unique and for a good cause! Indoor seating is available which we took advantage of, as we could not wait to enjoy our donuts. I wish we lived close by as we would be regulars. I feel the donuts are fairly priced for the quality. Expect to pay more than your local Dunkin or Tim Hortons, but you can also expect the quality is way better. Fresh homemade donuts can't be beat.

Paula's Donuts helped heal me after surgery - seriously. But first, a few words about the best…read moredonuts in the United States. I feel confident that statement is true. These are not featherweight, boring, drive thru chain donuts that never fail to disappoint. The box says they are "made with love" and while I certainly hope the bakers and makers are not oozing affection for the creations as they do their job (because that would get weird right?), the recipes and standards of ultra high quality that this unique WNY establishment has sure shows a respect and appreciation for their customers. The dough is light and never greasy tasting. The cream fillings are also fluffy and airy and melt in your mouth. Jellies are all top notch and let me be clear, the donuts are packed full with whatever is inside. Or on top. The headlights are incredible. Peanut butter offerings (several to choose from) are stellar. I'm not sure if the chocolate icing is a ganache but it seems much more like a ganache than the lousy, dried out icing you might find at places we need not mention. Staff are always courteous, polite and fast. I think each donut is going for about $2.30 but well worth it for the size and quality. A box of 3 is heavy to hold. You get a lot of donut for your buck. I've been on a Paula's kick for a couple months, stopping in when appropriate for my donut desires but trying to be mindful of my waistline. I like to sit down and really enjoy every bite. These are not ordinary donuts, they are an experience to savor. But how do Paula's donuts help one recover from surgery? It's about what you might do with them. My friend picked me up and brought me home after the hospital and slyly produced a bag of donuts for me, which I sat down and ate the minute I walked in the door. The unexpected gesture of something I've been enjoying a lot lately certainly took my mind off any discomfort. Nice friend, right? Part of recovery is having supportive friends and family and I'm glad I've got that. And I'm glad I also got a bag of donuts to make a "rough day" a lot better. So, Paula's people - I haven't tried them all yet so I guess I'm going to have to return. (Image is different donuts from a different day.)

I love cannoli's in general, but let's face it the worst part is the hard shell, well Sweet Ally's takes care of that for you, putting it inside a delicious donut! Reasonable pricing too! I may or may not be a little obsessed but they are so good! For weeks I keep meaning to take a picture, but I never remember before devouring them! They only make them on Sundays, but if it is a different day, stop by and enjoy their other selection of donuts, baked goods and candy. This time of year is the perfect time to visit, as right behind them Oakfield has a wonderful Christmas light up Wonderland, and across the street they have 100 decorated Christmas trees! Make it a day trip out to Sweet Ally's you won't be disappointed!

They have tons of donuts, breakfast sandwiches, omelettes, potatoes, many drink options (boba and smoothies too!) and just a few tables for seating. Their cinnamon roll was flaky and delicious, the side of potatoes crispy and perfect. This is a very popular place with a long line, many folks seemed like regulars asking the staff how their family was. Slightly confusing line-up process vs. who was waiting to order and who was waiting for food. They take cards and have a tablet for checking out. In a nutshell: Small, cute, big menu, friendly staff, they need to get a better handle on where to have customers line up.

First of all... homemade gluten-free Detroit-style pizza?! I honestly can't think of anywhere else around here doing that. Let's be real: it's not going to fool anyone into thinking it's traditional Detroit-style pizza. The crust is a little grainier, but that's the tradeoff, not a dealbreaker. The toppings stole the show with a slightly sweet sauce and pep that had those crispy, charred edges. My mom also grabbed one of their gluten-free sea salt chocolate chunk cookies. Pro tip: leave it on top of the warm pizza box during the drive home. By the time she got to my house, the chocolate was gloriously melty as if it came right out of the oven. Ordering online was quick and easy, and everything was ready when promised. Yes, it's pricier than your average pizza, but when you're getting something this unique that you can't just pick up anywhere or make at home, it's absolutely worth it. Safe to say, my mom has found her new pizza spot. And she's already counting down the days until they return to the Erie County Fair.

3/5 Stars Thank you…read moreto Silly Yak for providing a gluten-free option at the Erie County Fair. For those of us who need to eat gluten-free due to various health issues, having an option like this is greatly appreciated. That said, my experience today was extremely frustrating. For a booth that should be well-seasoned in handling fair crowds, the organization and order fulfillment were disappointing. I was Order #76 and waited approximately 20 minutes for my food. I was repeatedly told they were waiting on items for my order, yet the items appeared to be sitting right in front of the booth. Meanwhile, orders in the late 80s and 90s were being called before mine. I ultimately received Order #79's corn dog, which I was told was the item they were waiting for--yet several orders called after mine were also for corn dogs. Unfortunately, the wait significantly affected the quality of the food. My funnel cake sat for roughly 15 minutes before being handed to me, so it was cold and soggy. The corn dog had apparently been called about 8 minutes earlier, so it was also cold by the time I received it. The onion was cold and soggy as well. I completely understand that it was the first day of the fair, and I'm sure opening day can be hectic. However, when you're operating a fair-food booth and presumably have experience handling large crowds, I would expect a much more organized system for keeping orders in sequence and ensuring food is served while it's still hot. I truly appreciate having a gluten-free option available, but unfortunately, today's experience left a lot to be desired. I hope the process improves as the fair continues.
