Great wings, roast beef on weck and service. The wings are cooked perfectly and have a lot of sauce and meat on them. My son has Celiac's and ate the wings with no reaction.
A must-visit for an inviting atmosphere and an impressive variety of options that cater to diverse dietary needs.

They got us seated right away. Excellent server who helped accommodate some requests. (We asked if mocktail versions of a couple cocktails were possible. We came during a quieter time, so they were able to accommodate us - I imagine that would be harder to do at a busier time.) The (Neat and Classic) burgers were very good. One of us needed to order the non-dairy (vegan) cheese and gluten-free bun, so it was awesome that both substitutions were available (and tasty!). I'd also recommend the crispy brussels sprout appetizer and the gluten free cheesecake!
I had heard The Steer was more than the bar from my college days, and was pleasantly met with a very nice dining experience experience. I will be back.
The service was good and sat us next to the gas fireplace. Many if their sauces and things are made in-house, so they’re able to check on allergens. I really appreciated the clear labels for vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free, and that there were several vegan dishes to choose from!
Omnivores need not worry, most of the menu is full of deliciously-smelling beef and chicken. There are also happy hour appetizer specials! I’ll be back.
I would prefer the dining room to turn off the TV - it’s very distracting and when I go out I want to focus on the people I’m with, without electronic lights flashing at me.
A chill spot with knowledgeable staff that keeps things clean and offers a variety of tasty vegan and gluten-free options, especially great on Sundays!

They had gluten-free option and vegan options as well. Pizza and the salad were great.
Very friendly staff. The place was nice and clean. Highly recommend it.
In Buffalo, savor unique spicy wings with creative flavor combos, but watch out for the not-so-fresh chips on the side.

Food was good, wings were great. Have to stop for Buffalo wings in Buffalo. Their spicy options are pretty good, hot and hot parmesan are quite tasty. Their fryer for chicken wings is gluten free, however their fries are not. They served the sandwich with chips, which were not very fresh and I am positive were ruffles. It was nice of them to split the wings order into two flavours.
Experience top-notch service and a welcoming atmosphere, with accommodating staff eager to share tips for your visit and delicious dishes to enjoy.

I was delighted by the number of gluten-free options, as eating out is usually very challenging with my allergies. Our server was super attentive and everything tasted fantastic. Will definitely be back!
BEWARE ! I bought a new product for spot coffee. David's cookies. Gluten free chocolate chip brownie, nut free, dairy free, 44 percent sugar, 44 percent added sugar. Total 88 % sugar. No way. Not acceptable. Not healthy!
Always been a fan of the Chippewa location. This one is just as great and includes parking. Perfect chill place. Great coffee. Mike's sandwich on gluten free Kaiser was amazing. Regular bread for grilled cheese and BLT was a little dry which was surprising. Other then that it was perfect.
Exceptional atmosphere and attentive service create a welcoming vibe that keeps everyone coming back for more.

The food, atmosphere, and service was exceptional. I had a egg sandwich with a gluten-free bun. Delicious!
I am a disabled person with a above the knee prosthetic. I was meet with exceptional service. On my out one of their wonderful staff members, Danny, walked me to my car. Above and beyond.
They have a dedicated fryer for gluten free wings!! My son loves wings, Buffalo, and sports. Duffs combines all three. I have called nearly every thing place in the area and this is the only place we have found.
Charming spot with a cozy vibe and unique flavors; perfect for a relaxing visit that feels like a delightful part of your routine.

I had a great experience at Toasted! The Italian Fruit toast was amazing and the service was excellent. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that all my needs were met. I have a gluten allergy, but the gluten-free options were just as delicious and did not impact the taste one bit! The ambiance of the place was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Toasted to anyone looking for a great experience. :)
Delicious subs that offer a unique twist for those craving something different, making it a must-try spot for an exciting meal!

The food was ok, but it probably would have been better if I had been allowed the chance to order it the way I wanted. I’m lucky they even listened enough to hear me ask for a gluten free roll (which I had to double check was actually gluten free because I truly didn’t trust them). Aside from employee #1 taking our orders pushing us along as fast as possible to get back to her conversation, employee #2 at the register gave us our total before we had to stop him and ask for our drinks and chips to be added for the combos. He didn’t give us a choice on what size drink, and just rang us out for the regular, which we honestly didn’t feel like fighting anymore. He left the register the second the card went through, leaving another employee (#3) to get us our cups. He at least asked if we wanted a bag, but instead of getting us one, he wrapped up the next person’s order and then walked away. When we were finally given our food (mind you, I was not given the option to add any toppings, mine was simply wrapped and dropped by the counter), we had to ask about the bag again. Employee #4 gave us one, after very condescendingly saying “your subs not gonna fit in this bag”. I was pretty annoyed at this point, and just said “we wanted it for our chips, cookies, and the jar of chili relish we got, actually”. Employee #4 then turned to employee #3 who was actually sitting on the counter where the food was being prepped (not leaning, literally sitting on top of it) who promptly said “what a b*tch” as if I wasn’t standing three feet away. I might go to another Jersey Mike’s, but never this one, and I’d recommend the same to anyone else. (I would like to add, there was an elderly gentleman working there filling up the chip racks that was kind to everyone in the store and though he was not involved in our interaction, he definitely was not part of whatever is clearly going wrong in that store.)
With a laid-back vibe, expect delicious food, excellent service, and a dog-friendly atmosphere where your pup is treated like royalty.

I'm only taking a star off because I have Celiac Disease and ordered everything on corn tortillas but one of mine came on flour. I had orange glasses on so I didn't notice until I had taken a bite. I was sick for about a week and a half. However, I probably could have let the server know that I needed corn tortillas due to Celiac so that extra care would be taken. That said, I've never had issues before, particularly at the location on Hertel, and the food is delicious, the service is excellent, and they are dog friendly! They gave our puppy a bowl of water and lots of pets so accidental glutening can be forgiven. I'd definitely still go back.
Aromatic delights greet you upon arrival, with heavenly smoked flavors that make this spot a must-visit for BBQ lovers in WNY!

Wonderful smells hit you immediately after you get there. The owner gives you samples of the product and that’s when the second smell hits you and takes you to heaven followed by a river of flavor from the expertly smoked pit mastered meats. Best BBQ I have had in WNY hands down!!!! Gluten free except the gumbo and the cornbread
Experience a beautifully maintained garden setting, lively German music, and attentive service that ensures an enjoyable brunch outing.

Great German Beerhall - Garden! Well maintained...the gardens are beautiful...attentive & polite greeters welcomed us and directed us to our reserved table for Sunday Brunch. Our wonderful, excellent and super wait person, Shannon took very good care of us. She was knowledgeable of the menu and offered suggestions for a member of our party who is gluten free. Another of our party is sight impaired and she was wonderful placing food and drinks and telling the diner where it was. Drinks and beverages were refilled during our brunch. Awesome German music by the Auslanders filled the hall as we dined. We will be back soon!
Incredibly helpful with Celiac adjustments for food! They label some items as gluten free that go in a shared fryer (which isn't gluten free for those with the autoimmune disease) however a simple convo with your server and they'll let you know which items are safe! The staff is seriously amazing! If they had a second fryer that was for gluten free items only, I'd be in trouble because I'd go far too often. Everything is delicious.
Casual vibe with tasty offerings at reasonable prices, plus late hours make it a solid choice for a satisfying meal any time.

Nothing fancy but definitely delicious, it's a bit pricier than I'd hope with some options but overall it's not super expensive, far less so than ETS across the street and in my opinion far better in general. Staff have always been nice and helpful if needed, Food is well above fast food quality and while definitely not healthy food it's extremely delicious. It's also nice that hours go as late as they do. I wish there were more options for those with gluten related allergies and vegetarians but definitely well worth going to if those things don't affect you.
Perfect for events with a private dining experience, this spot impresses with personalized service and rave reviews about the atmosphere.

My wife and I had our rehearsal dinner at Mint and it could have not been a better experience for us. Allison was so easy to work with from start to finish. It was the only part of the wedding planning process that wasn't stressful. We rented out the whole dining room for the night and she provided us with our own designated bar spot. All of our guests raved about the food and the drinks! One of our guests has a gluten allergy and she had her chef design 3 options for her meal. Our guest loved the neal she picked from the 3 options. We couldn't recommend this place enough for whether to have a party or just to come for dinner/drinks!
This is a high finesse restaurant. I arrived complete with two requirements: gluten free (of the Celiac variety) and vegetarian. They made me gluten free gnocci in a "meat" sauce using Impossible Burger. It was unbelievable. What a chef to come up with this on the spot. Best thing I have had in many years. Service was great. Everyone at the table eating more traditional entrees was happy. Also, it's quiet. You can have a conversation. Amazing place. Easily the best restaurant in Buffalo.
An incredible dining experience with creative dishes that keep people coming back for special occasions.

Amazing amazing food. Went for the Valentines Day dinner for the second year in a row, I had the salmon and risotto, it was to die for. Though their menu doesn’t indicate many gluten free options, this restaurant gladly accommodated my gluten allergy and our waitress checked every single item I ordered to ensure that it was gluten free. I love this restaurant!
With a rich history and a cozy vibe, this place champions fresh ingredients, tech-savvy services, and a commitment to sustainability and community.

Panera Bread, which many people know and love, has an interesting history. It started back in 1987 as the St. Louis Bread Company. The company was purchased by Au Bon Pain Co. in 1993 and was rebranded as Panera Bread in 1997. With its headquarters in Sunset Hills, Missouri, Panera Bread has grown into a beloved chain throughout the United States and Canada. One of the reasons for its popularity is the emphasis on fresh, clean ingredients—no artificial preservatives, sweeteners, flavors, or colors from artificial sources. Their menu is quite diverse, offering everything from fresh-baked goods, like bagels and pastries, to café items, such as sandwiches, salads, soups, and specialty beverages. They also cater to various dietary needs with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
I appreciate Panera's cozy, community-oriented atmosphere, which makes it a perfect spot for meetings or casual gatherings. They’ve embraced technology with their Panera 2.0 initiative, which introduced online ordering, rapid pick-up, and delivery services. This has made it incredibly convenient to enjoy their offerings. They even have a line of packaged products available in grocery stores under the "Panera at Home" brand. Panera Bread is also committed to social responsibility through programs like Day-End Dough-Nation, where they donate leftover bakery items to local charities. They’ve focused on sustainability by using responsibly sourced ingredients and reducing their environmental footprint. Owned by JAB Holding Company since 2017, Panera continues to innovate and expand, keeping up with customer needs and preferences.
