Allen Burger Venture

Amazing food, options for gluten and dairy free, and the best house made tater tots I've ever had.

Oof, I really wanted to enjoy it, and for the most part - I did. Came here with my gf and friends before going to a show, and since my gf is vegan - we made sure to check and the menu says there are vegan options available. When we sat down, my friends and I ordered our non vegan burgers with no problem, and also enjoyed the burgers. When my gf asked about the vegan options, the waitress frowned and said she'll check with the kitchen. She came back, and turns out that none of the burger buns were vegan , not even the gluten free bun, which sucks. We said okay, maybe there's another option? The vegan option turned out to be a plant based burger, on a salad. The salad had to come with no cheese, obviously. The whole thing was sloppy and unappetizing. "Vegan option" shouldn't just be taking existing items and subtracting ingredients to oblivion, and there is no reason to make a sour face about it, we're just here to enjoy the food. If you don't have vegan options, that's okay, just don't advertise saying you do.

Traveling home from Rochester (visited family over Memorial Day weekend). Detoured to Niagra Falls. Afterward, wife and sis in law researched lunch spots. Nice variety of options, including gluten-free items. The atmosphere was engaging in that there were hundreds of album covers posted on the walls. Lively conversation regarding all the different genres of music. My wife ordered the Five on a gluten-free bun. I had one of the specials. Other family members tried different options, and we were all thoroughly impressed with the preparation, presentation, and taste of our meals. I subbed a ceasar salad (pictured), and I will say this was the best burger I've had in recent memory. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. This was a very enjoyable experience and worth the money spent. If I'm ever in Buffalo again, there's no doubt I'll be visiting this establishment again and again.
