We came here since we were in town visiting a family member. The food here is OUTSTANDING. The service was great as well. Our waitress Gigi was really really nice. If you're lucky enough to get her at your table you've won.The one thing you should prepare yourself for is a bit of a wait for your food. When it comes out you can tell it was freshly made but that does add to the wait time. If you can come here when there's a game on or with chatty friends and you won't notice that at all and the food is highly worth it.Really this is a great spot that deserves and earns your money.Oh one last thing. Their signature drink is the Bonecrusher. Get it but be prepared.....its strong.

The employees were very welcoming. The food was amazing! Will definitely be back here whenever I come to Buffalo. I would like to give special recognition to Dahlea, she was very patient & accommodating to our party of 3.

My girlfriend took me out to this place and we were very satisfied! We were greeted the second we walked in and the second we left. Our waiter Jay was beyond professional with his excellent customer service. We will be back soon.

Amazing Service, Food & Drinks. We will definitely be back. We took our 3 year old with us and she was welcomed with open arms. We had the shrimp basket, Honey Cajun Wings, Garlic Parm Medium Chicken Dinner & Chicken Tenders w Fries. The bone crushers as a drink (get a DD).
