    Food and service was not only fantastic, but affordable. Great local hangout. Soups are rotating, they have chili now and it's delicious, so come in and get some before it's gone.

    Our last few consecutive reviews have been at Buffalo city establishments and we decided it was time for these suburbanite slobs to head back to the suburbs. With that, we aimed for Depew and paid a visit to a lesser-known wing establishment -- Transit Music Lounge. Location : 3.5 / 5 Unfortunately we there was no live music on this night which might have helped make it more memorable. Aside from some dim lighting and wobbly stools, not at all unusual for a Buffalo bar, everything seemed alright. Overall, relatively unremarkable. Presentation: 2 / 5 Very so-so, with little care and attention paid to the way these wings were presented -- not even a stick of celery. A lack of celery may seem like a weird thing to harp on, but when you're trying to rate the taste of 4 or 5 different flavors, as we always do, a celery palate cleanse matters. Meat: 4 / 5 Meat was average with some good sizing but they earned a demerit because there was some grizzle... fo' shizzle. Cook: 7 / 10 On the plus side, these came out HOT, which is not as common as one would expect. But on the negative, some wings seemed overcooked to the point of being dry. As an aside, I'm running out of synonyms in this review for "just okay". Medium standard wing: 9.5 / 15 Surprisingly bland for a chicken wing. These were undersauces and seemed to lack flavor. There were a few burnt pieces and yet despite that and the undersauciness, they were strangely lacking crispiness. Specialty Wing: 6.5 / 10 I believe the French say "comme ci, comme ca"? Nashville wings were quite tasty but WAY too salty. Carolina gold was underwhelming and lacking flavor. Whiskey BBQ was the bottom of the barrel -- metaphorically and also perhaps literally. Overall: Unremarkable + so-so + average + just okay + bland + comme ci, comme ca = meh Final Score: 32.5 / 50

    The Razzle Dazzle Wings WERE TO DIE FOR!!! The Service was on Point!! I highly recommend the Transit I've tried more than half of their menu and it's been a great food adventure! So much creativity and so much to choose from! ENJOY!

    We have been to this bar in the past but have never eaten here. We are redoing our kitchen so we decided to order from Uber Eats and there aren't many options in our area. I noticed the Transit Music Lounge listed and decided to give them a try. We ordered a PB&J burger with tots and an order of 20 wings that we split into 2 flavors (white cheddar cayenne and spicy honey garlic). The burger was very good with a soft roll, amazing flavors, and perfectly cooked medium rare. It was juicy, tasty, and delicious. The tater tots were also cooked long enough to be perfectly crispy. The wings were good. The honey ones had a great flavor and were good-sized wings. The breaded, white cheddar cayenne wings were huge and crispy. We will definitely stop by or order again from this restaurant bar.

    As certified chicken finger royalty in the WNY area, I'm always on the lookout for different spots to try some tasty tenders. Transit Music Lounge fell on my radar as my brother told me their chicken fingers are some of the best in the area. I've gotta say, he was correct! My family and I ordered takeout here on a Saturday night. They have a largely bar food-based menu -- lots of burgers, appetizers, and, of course, wings and fingers. I opted for a single order of fingers tossed in their medium sauce. Chicken finger dinners come standard with fries, which is always a plus, and theirs reminded me of an upgraded fast food fry. I loved them. The chicken fingers were insanely crisp and flavorful, I didn't find the medium sauce too spicy. It was honestly a near-perfect chicken finger experience. The prices aren't too bad here -- but our food was ready 20 minutes later than they said it would be. Not the worst since you can grab a drink while you wait. Transit Music Lounge offers a wide lineup of sauces that I'd love to try in the future. And I will DEFINITELY be back for some of that crisp chicken finger goodness.

    If you're looking for a dive barish music venue with delicious food this is your place! I am of the age where live music nights are a bit much for me, but love to come on a much quieter week night. I love that they still do some daily specials like taco Tuesday and Wednesday wing night. Drinks are standard issue and wine comes out of little one glass bottles. They have a decent patio for the warmer weather. I recommend the hot bbq wings, bacon fingers, tots and of course the pint of bacon! I need to try the stinger salad one of these days. Follow their social media for band schedules and creative food specials.

    Just found this exiting place. Upbeat atmosphere. Ordered Bacon app and loved it. Half off burgers so we dove in! Tots were crunchy salad was super fresh and burgers were great! Definitely will be back.

    It took me a while to really appreciate the Transit, but I've got to say this is probably one of my favorite bar-music venue spots. I'd describe it as something a little bit better than a dive bar. It's got that divey feel, but the space is always pretty clean. The crowds usually vary depending on the bands that play there, and I've seen all sorts of people between their 30's and 50's coming in to drink and enjoy the variety of bands and musicians they have play here. The decor is music-themed, most of it being Tragically Hip themed. Fortunately, they get bands that don't just play that Tragically Hip sound. I've been here for rock bands, pop-punk bands, 80's cover bands, 90's cover bands, acoustic duo shows, even an open-mic style reception for a local musician who recently tied the knot! I don't know who handles the booking here, but I give kudos to whoever does it. They always bring in a wide variety of local talent, and whatever night you decide to drop in (as long as it's a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday), you're guaranteed to get a good show! I can't attest to the drinks here, but I've always noticed that bar service is relatively smooth. The bar stretches across most of the inside, so it's wide enough to accommodate a ton of people and make it a little easier to get a drink, even when its busy. They also serve food here! I haven't had a chance to explore much of their menu, but I've heard good things about their burgers. And, their Loaded Tater Tots are amazing. I really want to try to make it here for a bite to eat sometime! All in all it's a really great music venue, fun hangout, and a great place to get some great bar food. The trifecta! Can't wait to come back.

    Atmosphere was fun. There was a swinger couple there that hit on my hubby and me. I was so mad because he was all for it but I wasn't. We had to leave. Other than that it was a fun place. Yum!

    We were at the Transit lounge a few weeks ago late at night mostly for drinks but did get wings and Tater tots and I gave it 4 stars.

We ordered nachos, but the chicken was unappetizing and had a grayish hue. We could not eat it and ended up with stomach aches. I also ordered a roast beef sandwich, but I felt off from the nachos and decided to box it up. The next day when I went to take a bite, I noticed what looked like blood on the sandwich. I reached out via email and Instagram but never received a response. I'm very upset and won't be returning. The atmosphere was fine and there was a ton of people in there, but I would never eat there again unfortunately.
