Not sure what the obsession is with this place.  It kinda sucks.  I prefer Taco Bell. Chipotle, Moe's and Salsarita's all are better options if you want to go quick Mexican.

A shadow of what they once were. Taco Bell has surpassed them in many ways

The cheese they use is gross. It tastes like plastic.

Best restaurant in town is still Tempo; I had a great meal there last summer for my mom's birthday celebration.

 

I'm also a fan of San Marco, Hutch's, the chop house, and others. 

 

Plenty of good restaurants in Buffalo, always have been.

Did you see Buddy Nix there hosting any big name free agents?

Chop House is way overpriced for what they offer, I prefer Black & Blue

Don't go to Jazzboline...that place sucks and is way overpriced.

Not to hijack this thread but we will be in Buffalo for the first time ever for the Vikings game.  Really only have Saturday and then Sunday after the game to experience Buffalo.  Looking for a good place to catch some college football and eat wings on Saturday.  I've heard Bar Bill, Duff's or Gabriel's Gate, are any of these good places to sit for a few hours with TV's/various games on?  Thanks for any insight.

I have recommended this restaurant before - Sun Cuisines, a Burmaese, Thai and Japanese restaurant. 

https://www.suncuisines.com/

I discovered it via a tourist magazine when visiting Niagara Falls.

 

I have only been to location on west side of Buffalo near Black Rock where some of my family lives.  

1989 Niagara St., Buffalo, NY 14207  716-447-0202. 

I know they have a number of customers from Japanese temple in area my aunt used to go to before her age and health kept her inside (my aunt is deceased now). 

 

There is another restaurant in Williamsville.

Lucia’s on the lake best steak I’ve ever had. Tough to get in but worth it if you can!

Not sure about Gabriel's Gate but the other two would be.

One of my favorite restaurants is Roost. I have other favorite "things" at other restaurants. But in terms of experience, quality, vibe, price, etc. Roost is my favorite spot pound for pound. Their executive chef/owner is one of the most notable chefs in the region. 

 

Martin Danilowicz is the head chef. I believe he wrote the original menu at Left Bank forever ago and was then replaced by Mark Weatherby shortly after. He was the Executive Chef at the Buffalo Staple Just Pasta forever. When that closed he took off to Toronto for a while and was EC at a few places there. He came back a while ago and had Martin Cooks, which was phenomenal, and I believe Buffalo's only prix fixe restaurant. He closed that and opened Roost. Upscale casual based Seasonal menu, trendy, affordable, great beer and cocktail list, and super approachable. Not stuffy in the least.

I love Son. I second this. 

Sato Ramen on Main St. by UB South makes legit Ramen. There isn't another place in the city that comes close. 

Pho Dollar on W. Ferry is a great hole in the wall pho place if that is your jam. 

 

I grew up on the West Side so I am partial, but 5 Points Bakery has the absolute best cinnamon roll on the planet. It won't be a big giant think like you are used to, but they are basically crack.

MT

Blasdell Pizza

Ilio’s

Duffs

Ekels - Beef on Weck

 

there are certainly a lot of really nice restaurants If you want to go high end, but really is about what you want.

[Big Turk]

Would also highly recommend TCB(Tacos, Community and Beer). Gourmet tacos are amazing and the bowls are really great as well.

 

Korean Short Rib taco = heaven.

Britesmith - favorite brewery in Williamsville - highly recommend the burger and wedge salad.

 

Another favorite - Hartman's Distilling Co.  - downtown.

Went to BriteSmith once as a goodbye dinner for an employee our boss set up.

 

It was pretty good...the mulled spiced cider was freaking amazing.

All of these places have great wings and are "iconic" Buffalo spots.  That said, I would not recommend Duff's or Gabriel's Gate as great places to watch college football.  Both are small places, neither are sports bars, and neither have a ton of TVs.  Duff's is mainly a restaurant and not much of a bar, and Gabriel's Gate is both a restaurant and a bar, with a good bar scene, but it's a pretty small, cozy place and not a sports-bar type of place.  Note that I am referring to the original Duff's in Amherst.  I have not been to any other Duff's location.  I also have not been to Bar Bill in East Aurora, but the newer one in Clarence seems to have a bit better situation with TVs for sports - although I still wouldn't call it a sports bar.

 

Another recommendation is Cole's on Elmwood Avenue near Buffalo State University.  Cole's has great wings and is more of a larger Irish pub/sports bar that would be appropriate for watching college football.
