We stopped at the Arby's at 1395 Niagara Falls Blvd in Amherst for a quick dinner and got the best service ever. The girl manager was on top of everything plus even better with customer interaction.Food was hot, fresh and tasty.

I've been eating Yala's Pizza since high school. I'm way way past high school and have switched to Eliseo's. I find their pizza much better than any chain pizza. The toppings are fresh and plentiful. The service is fast and friendly. It feels like family is making your pizza. I recommend the next time you have a taste for a good pie, call Eliseo's.

This was recommended by our hotel front desk staff. We had high expectations based on the recommendation but we were disappointed.The initial impression was just okay. The restaurant needs freshed up. The rug is worn and the decor is old. BUT the rest room was immaculate. We were there for dinner. My husband ordered a senior chicken dinner. The mashed potatoes were real potatoes, not the whipped kind from a box. The chicken portion was small. If you are hungry, don't get a senior meal. I had the turkey dinner. The roast turkey was juicy and the bread stuffing was tasty. But, I asked for gravy on the side. But, I got a cup of gravy AND gravy on the turkey. I did not want extra gravy. I wanted it all on the side. There was miscommunication.The prices are very reasonable. The staff was friendly but very busy. This is definitely a local favorite.But we have been in a great deal of diners and this was just average.

I have dined at Cole's Public House many times in the past and usually ordered their pierogi. We met our friends there last night and everyone's entrée was excellent except for mine.I remember the pierogi being larger and very tender. Last night, they were overcooked and dry. I chose to not have the black pepper cream mixed with the pierogi, for I wanted to dip them. Perhaps they would not have been so dry if they were mixed in the cream sauce.My husband had pan roasted salmon in a spicy curry broth which he said was excellent.It is difficult to park near the entrance on busy nights, so be sure to wear your walking shoes. Would I return? Sure, but I would not order the pierogi.

Best meal I have had dining out in a long time. Great food. Small local 'hole in the wall' restaurant. The owner was our waiter.

My sister who is local took my husband and I while we were in town. Like others mention, the outside is very deceiving. The server who is also the owner and chef is quite impressive. There's great wine and beer selection. The potato skins are fantastic and mushrooms appetizer is huge. Since he is the chef, he's open to adapting your main course however you need. We would definitely return.

Recently had a meal here with family on a Saturday afternoon. Pretty standard American "pub" fare, but food was very good and menu was pretty diverse with something for just about everyone! App of Spinach Artichoke dip was plentiful for sharing. Fish & Chips were excellent - and the grilled burrito was huge! Lots of craft beer choices for the craft beer lovers - as well as cocktails and wine. Definitely would return!

Stopped at Hot Dog Heaven for lunch during another road trip along I-80. Grumpy ordered onions on his dog and says the onions are just like Nathanâs - raw. That was a nice taste of home. The chili on the chili dog was very good. Tasty but mild enough where it didnât overwhelm the hotdog. The fries were shoestring and very good. They have Frenchâs products here and it was the first time weâve had Frenchâs ketchup. The Old Lady (who believes ketchup is evil) tried it and said she would actually have it again (if needed.) We ordered funnel fries to-go and are glad we did. If we had tried them in the restaurant, we wouldâve walked out with three or four more orders. Funnel fries - hurry up and come to NYC! So glad we tried Hot Dog Heaven.

We were in the area for a track meet and pretty much randomly selected Ziggy's out of the local possibilities. We absolutely loved it! Food was great and service was excellent. Great selection of beverages on tap as well. Sauerkraut Balls appetizer was beyond expectations! We will definitely return!
