Rubes Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 So I'm going to be back in town for the home opener (yeah baby!!) and I'm trying to design an awesome weekend food tour to go along with the game. So I'm looking to this group for your top suggestions, because, you know, you're the experts. I'll arrive late afternoon Friday, so right now I've got some openings: Friday dinner: want to do a fish fry, looking for a good suggestion Saturday breakfast: open Saturday lunch: Ted's dogs Saturday dinner: open Sunday: game day, tailgating (grilling) with cousins (Bills win) Sunday dinner: pizza and wings with cousins (location TBD) Monday morning: departure, diet ensues So basically, I'm looking for a great fish fry, a great breakfast place, and one great suggestion for a dinner place to round things out. Ready? Go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Breakfast at Betty's downtown. Hands down best in town. Dinner-wise, if you want to go pub style, go with Elmo's; fantastic wings and great beer in tap. If you want fancy-as-can-be AND fun, make a reservation at Martin Cooks. Five course dinner with surprise menu...phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Saturday dinner, or after dinner, stop by Dannys South where a lot of the TBD regulars usually gather in the bar area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 As for fish fry, I'm allergic myself, but my peoples swear by Papa Jake's Saloon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark80 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Crow's Nest in Getzville (Dodge and Campbell - close to Exit 3 on 990) has an amazing Fish Fry. It's packed every Friday all year round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJasper Probincrux III Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Fish Fry - The Beach House on Grand Island - East River Rd. very out of the way. Tiny place - great food. Breakfast - The Original Pancake House - NF Blvd in Tonawanda or Main St. in Williamsville. Get an Apple Pancake - thank me later. Dinner - Casa di Pizza Elmwood Ave. Calzone.

mrags Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Breakfast- Break n Eggs creperie. Main Street in Williamsville. Absolutely amazing!!! Trust me. Go there and I'll buy your meal if you don't like it. Dinner- fish fry- Gabriel's Gate is pretty good. And you can get some good wings there too while your at it.

Rubes Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Wow, some excellent ideas. Thanks, everyone! I'll have to plan this out carefully. I like the idea of Crow's Nest since I grew up partly in Getzville and I want to swing by there for a bit. Danny's South is a great idea too -- anyone know who typically goes there on Saturdays?

Myself, Lori, Jay Rosen, John Wawrow, Hammer, Pinto Kenny, R. Rich, Mead, SDS, AiO, Rockpile, are the ones that immediately come to mind that show up year after year. Usually start arriving after 7pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Fish Fry - The Beach House on Grand Island - East River Rd. very out of the way. Tiny place - great food. Family has lived around the corner from here since 81, and the fish is excellant. Had it 100 times at minimum. But do not,AND I MEAN DO NOT , order anything but the fish. Rest of the food is awful, trust me. Not that your a Falls guy, but here is a partial list of Falls places to help your agenda in case you head that way. Mom's in Pine Plaza for Breakfast Viola's Subs for Lunch...gotta be a steak and cheese Both of those places right near the outlet mall. Fish..either Gadowskis or The Polish Nook. Godowskis awful last time i was there, but great place and Eddie is great guy. Dinner. Petes Market Inn...good to great steaks and chops at good prices The Como...again, awful Red Sauce based Italian, but you cant be the atmosphere!if want to imagine the Maggadino crew holding court in here, pretty easy to envision.

They make other food at the Beach House?? :-) Their wings were good when I lived on the Island (left in 96) but you couldn't get them on Fridays because of the fish fry so I think those are the only 2 things I every really ate there. I try to go every time I'm back in town but my Friday flight up for the San Diego game this year will get in too late. plenz - how old a person are you?
