Oil, onions & mayo! You're killing me... It's strange...everyone in person raves about the place, but when I went to get the address online, the Yelp reviews are horrible. Great stuff though.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Long gone now, but the mid to late 70s had Art's Hoagie Hut on Hertel Avenue near Colvin. Art and his brother Tony had apparently run Artones in South Buffalo, then Art came northside to start the Hoagie Hut. Sausage and capacolla subs, steak hoagies, all excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmz56 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 My choice of subs are either at Mike's in Kenmore or John and Mary's in Getzville near UB North Campus ! 90% of the sub rolls made in Buffalo come from Costan zo's Bakery on Union Rd. !!

As for a very good non-Philly-like but Philly inspired cheese steak in Bufalo: Gabriel's Gate. Good man on the tony Luke’s they’re the breasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid taxes. The one downtown just isn't the same(it's the brother if iirc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stuff though. I'm convinced that people that write reviews on the internet are for the most part people who expect a lot, are the "I want to see the manager" types, and treat people in service industry jobs as though they're low. So you'll see a lot of 1-star reviews for employees being "rude" to them when in reality the reviewer is the insufferable !@#$. That all being said, I've had better luck with google reviews than yelp or tripadvisor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, whenever I am in town, I have to have a steak sub from Jim's because they are just not as good in other places I have had them. I believe it is in part at least due to the bread. I may try a steak sub from somewhere else when I am in town this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I keep saying it, but if you want to venture to the East Side, Shy's Steakhouse has some of the best steak hoagies I have ever had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part, it's been spot on. I remember reading a hotel 5 star review one time where the person spent an entire paragraph talking about the pancake machine they had in the breakfast buffet. Must have been a hotel employee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been a hotel employee. A great rule of thumb is to always ignore the outliers. I know places pay people to write great 5 star reviews, and you have disgruntled people who have an agenda and will do anything to trash a place. “Their vegan menu wasn’t big enough!” Whose problem is that? I was with an uber driver with a 4.88 rating. He said he had a couple who were fighting over a newly discovered affair he was having, and the guy gave him one star just for being in the car getting the drunk couple home. Perfection is not a lasting thing. You go with what the masses are saying, not the kooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever cash I didn't spend from my job that didn't go to Art generally went across the bar at Gabels for liquid refreshment. Wednesday nights, California coolers, 50 cents. Ah, to be young again.

It's been in existence as a rock 'n roll bar for about 60 years. I was there in its heyday in the 70s. 50 cents for a cooler was awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great last meal if your going to the chair! First place I thought of when I saw this thread. Fantastic subs, especially chicken finger and steak and cheese. Underrated place is Tailgate Deli in Kenmore. Turkey Club sub with banana peppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
