Yogis was a pleasant surprise and the jr wrap was fantastic! Not healthy but very tasty lol. Their calzone is quite good too I liked the garlic crust /bread dough it was very tasty and the pulled chicken was good too. Staff was friendly and tjeborifes weren't too bad. We happened to show up on Wednesday trivia night too which is fun! Lots of street parking available or more down by the park.

My dad went here. He complained of many things but the main issue was being charged $1 for tap water. It was not disclosed prior to ordering. It was found as a charge on the bill. After writing the business, my dad was told there is no such thing as a free lunch. I felt compelled to write a quick blurb on their Facebook page and this was what I was met with. Even the waitress told my dad and his friends that she stays up some nights worrying about the fights she will get into about the charges.

Traditional cup & char 'roni :-)

Solid pizza, & reasonably good wings. Cool interior atmosphere as well, located in former 'Akron House' building.

8 slices. 3 pepperonis per slice.

I was really hopeful here. Looked at the pics and read the reviews and thought it would be worth the drive over. Picked the pizza, didn't look until I got home so that was probably good. Fried mushrooms were good and came with their yogi sauce. The sauce was too spicy and overpowered the mushrooms. The sauce itself was very good for something like fried pickles that have some tang, but not mushrooms. The meatball parm sub was ok. Nothing special, the meatballs had good texture and enough sauce. Small cheese pizza. I guess I expect a brick oven pizza to have a little char with great color on the cheese. I opened the box and was a little disappointed. It looked like the photo on a Red Baron frozen pizza. The crust was reasonable and cooked, but really didn't have that brick Oven pizza taste. On to the large pepperoni. Again the same thing, it didn't have that delicious brick oven look and times must be tough as that pepperoni had 4 pieces of pepperoni per slice. 8 slices of disappointment. The wings were reasonable, tasty and crispy but not enough sauce. Was supposed to be a 20 piece but again times must be tough as there were only 19. Leaving one wing short and losing another star from the two star rating I was going to give it.

Great fun place...live music! It was Halloween and the staff was having a blast, all dressed up. The food was yummy and the beer choices were great!

Floury crust

Saw good reviews for this place and decided to try it, unfortunately I was underwhelmed by the pizza the dough was extremely floury on the bottom and it didn't cook evenly in the oven as one section was very dark and the rest of my toppings (I ordered Hawaiian) seemed to be not browned/cooked at all. Overall, a good price for a large pizza but I don't think I'll be ordering from here again

My pound of cheese taco

Placed and order over the phone, the girl seemed agitated to take the order. Wait time was 30 minutes which was fine, got the food home all of the meat was cold. Mushrooms were the only thing warm, besides the missing sauce. The taco weighed about 5 pounds only to open it and find a pound of cheese on it, for a baby. The pecan salad was very tasty, besides the chicken being cold. The Pittsburg salad had very soggy French fries, yum. So either the meat was never heated up, or the 30 minute wait time for pickup, with one customer in the restaurant was exaggerated.

If this place were called BooBoo's, kids would fall over coming through the door and constantly be getting minor cuts and scrapes. Hence it's called Yogi's. I can't bear to make any further jokes at this point, I'm jealous of those guys that can afford Rosetta Stone, in fact I'm coming up with a new term for it: Jellystone. What to get: Slices, Personal Cheese & Pep Pizza. Akron, NY, the centre of the food universe, especially when it comes to legendary brick oven pizza, which this town invented. OK - I can't back that up. Anyway. Freshie's is actually no longer called Freshie's, it is now called Yogi's. It is one of the hidden gems of Western NY, on a little back street in a town with two other more popular pizza places, it quietly assumes that you don't know how good it is... until you give it a try one day and realize that in a city where real Brick Oven-tasting Pizza is rare, this place makes it and makes it really well! Their slices are huge and delicious, and their personal size pizzas are incredibly cheap and straight out of heaven. I recently tried their wings and they were EXCELLENT, I think their pizza is even better but yes, very delicious wings, so everything so far is 5/5. The wings are more typical quintessential Buffalo. If you are having 5 kids at once, then you need to shop for some essentials. Quintessentials. I hope this place survives because not a lot of people know about it, and last time I checked, it didn't have any online presence at all. Then again there is a place in North Carolina called "Cook Out", who have no online presence, and have still completely taken over the Carolinian fast food scene, to their credit. Yay Freshie's! What is it with Pizza in Buffalo? It is simply the best I've ever tasted and there are probably 200 good options. I recommend my personal faves, Imperial (South Buffalo), Zip's (North Buffalo), Francos (Eggert location in Amherst), and Yogi's (Akron). The last one is more Brick-Oven style than typical Buffalo style. All 4 slices are pure heaven and must not be missed under any circumstances. I can't say it enough - if you're just trying a slice, make sure the Pizza is either straight out of the oven piping hot, or reheated in the oven. Chicago Pizza is amazing, and NYC Pizza is special, but Buffalo, for me, beats them both. Please don't talk to me about STL Pizza or Cali Pizza (ew). Buffalo Pizza is fluffier, doughier, cheesier, saucier, and pepperonier than anything you've ever had. If Chicago is a crusty pie and NYC is a huge flat slice, then Buffalo is quintessential Pizza. It's just so good. They also do excellent Buffalo Chicken Pizza and Steak Pizzas here in Buffalo. Dreamy. I will stand under oath and swear that Buffalo Pizza is the best in the land. Please don't ever order Pizza from Domino's, Papa John's, Pizza Hut et al. Those major corporations don't need a penny of your money, and they are bland cookie cutter chains that spend all their money on advertising. Please frequent your locally owned Pizza shops. They need it more, they're real local people, and the food is almost always wildly superior, anyway. Edit: I now go here like weekly whenever I am cycling because it's within easy cycling distance from my house. Nothing says "bike workout" better than a slice of brick oven pizza right? Sometimes the service is really nice, sometimes it is sketchy. There is one particular employee with whom the service is really, really sketchy, in fact if I see that employee at the counter, I leave without ordering, that's how bad that employee is. The rest of them are lovely and the pizza is absolutely phenomenal.

A very delicious pie, only critique would be to cook it just a bit longer to crisp up the bottom. Otherwise it was very good.

The food was good, the service was not. There was only one other table, and we barely had any attention. I was very disappointed.

Just letting you know that this is the same Tonawanda Creek that many of us know closer to the Tonawanda side of it. The mouth of this Creek is the Niagara River, which dumps into Niagara Falls, then Lake Ontario (not "Lake America" dammit) then into the St. Lawrence River. What do you know? cool, huh? I'm a geek so I like this kind of trivia lol Going back to the establishment.... it really is a log cabin. great ambiance 5/5 as you can see the Indian Falls from most of the tables on the inside patio. Service was friendly and quick, even on a very busy Labor Day afternoon. I enjoyed my cocktail, a Ruby Red Mule. My girlfriend enjoyed her draft the EBC Blueberry. She ordered the Reuben sandwich which was fantastic. Loaded with fries on the side. I ordered the Buffalo chicken wing sandwich. Loved it! Had a little kick and not greasy. Both sandwiches were around $18. There was a band playing on the patio when we were leaving. Looks like a fun loving crowd. Many of them bikers. I would definitely be back if I'm in the area.

Best Buffalo Wings Ever: Ima get repercussion for this comment so forgive me in advance but because…read morei respect & love this area so much. These Wings are more a staple than the Bills in Buffalo. Yump; finger licking sauce, Est. 1940, a perfect melody of crispy wing, juicy meat & succulent sauce. I'm i drooling? Or are the wings smoother than the Bills offense in the dead of winter?!? I swear i saw the first Bills Football Club flag there from the 60's....Love the ambiance & service was spectacular. All in All pleasure to have had the experience. & you bet your bottom dollar. Any time im in Bills Country, it's a stop @ Dufs for wings, beef on wick & a brew.

TLDR: Duff's was the perfect Buffalo road trip stop with excellent wings, great beef on weck, fast…read moreservice, and plenty of space for a large group. We were caravaning with a group of eight on a road trip to Toronto and decided a stop for some authentic Buffalo wings was mandatory before crossing the border. Duff's ended up being the perfect choice, especially with multiple cars since they have their own parking lot and were conveniently located not too far off our route. Inside there was plenty of seating for both small and large groups. We were able to push several tables together in the main dining room so all eight of us could sit together. Service was excellent. Since we were still on a schedule to get to Toronto, we appreciated how quickly the servers got everyone's orders in, and the food came out wicked fast. We went for the full Buffalo experience with several orders of wings in different flavors and heat levels, a few beef on wecks, and some Duff's beer. The wings definitely lived up to the hype. They were large, well sauced, and my medium had just the right amount of heat. Everyone who went hotter was equally impressed with the flavor. The beef on weck was another hit, packed with tender roast beef and plenty of flavor. Overall, a great experience and an easy recommendation if you're looking for classic Buffalo wings and beef on weck.
