Phenomenal food. Fascinating decor. Amazing service. Great staff from the hostess to the kitchen.
Even with only one server, we were taken care of. Outdoor dining was closed due to staff shortages that day. If they were open on Sunday, we'd have gone back today!
My first time. Excellent service, owner operated, which is always a plus. Enjoyed the wings, and some fine bourbon. And when a friend requested a dark and stormy, The bartender rushed off and fetched. The ginger beer. Outstanding.
One of the best neighborhood bar and grill in Buffalo. Good food, great beer , and even better company. Thanks Nancy, Sarah, Matt, and Jamie.
Great local restaurant. Nice atmosphere. Friendly, professional staff. Good food at fair prices. Very good Bloody Mary's.
Awesome local gem. So much local historical items to look at on the walls and display cases. Its almost like a history museum inside. They arent open everyday, so make sure you check their hours before showing up. I cannot wait to go back!
My boys had come here before & loved the poutine, so they wanted to go back & have me try the place.It's small inside, but cozy, IMO.There's also a bar connected to the dining area.My boys each ordered Poutine, my son Jeremy got a Chicken Quesadilla as well & coffee.My son Matty got the "Len's Loaded Burger" and Cheese Fries, &I ordered the Spinach Garlic Bread & the Beef on Weck.My sandwich was good, but could've used a bit more beef, my salad had odd lettuce, it was kind of sharp on the edges & kept making me cough.But it was still yummy.I had some of my son's poutine which was very good , his cheese fries were good, but not enough cheese.My other son's Quesadilla was ok, but a bit dry.(Yes, I tried everything at the table but my son's HUMONGOUS 11oz Burger.Prices were quite high for some of the stuff.The check came to over $70.00, which for that, was a bit much.I left a bit hungry, but my boys were stuffed & liked everything.The waitress we had was super nice & always seemed to show up when we needed her. So that was a plus !!I will go back to try more things on the menu & maybe get the poutine for my self next time.
The moment you walk in here your stepping into a bit of History, back in the 1950's this was once a Candy & Cigar store turned into a Bar & Restaurant. Throughout the 70's & 80's it was a Rowdy Hangout that many of the neighbors in the Parkside Area considered to be a Public Nuisance. It closed in 1991, since then it just housed a number of Failed Restaurants, until in 2012 Parksiders - Nancy Abramo & Len Mattie bought the place and rebuilt it from the ground up. They filled it up with countless artifacts celebrating Buffalo's people, architecture, food & events from the late 1800's to the beginning of the 1950's.I walked over here one day for Lunch after signing up for some Private Cooking Classes I walked in and it was hardly busy and the owner (Nancy) sat me in a booth in the main Dining Room. As I walked through and looked around I was taken aback by all the Artifacts looming around the Room, even with one whiff I could even Smell the History.The waitstaff is some of the friendliest and the kindest that I've ever encountered. I started off my Lunch with a Drink, some Steelhead Stout (similar to Guinness in both taste and Appearance). The Menu consists of some of the most Simplest, Old School Dishes ranging from Stuffed Hot Peppers, Poutine, Rueben, Beef on Weck, Tuna Melt, Fried Bologna and 5 different preparations of Haddock.The one thing that caught my eye that I was ever so curious was their Shaved Lamb Melt. They told me it was one of their most unique and one of the King items, something you don't see a lot nowadays. It was Shaved Lamb on Sourdough with Havarti Cheese and a Spearmint & Garlic Aioli.The Meat was broiled to Medium-Well even though it was thinly sliced it was still Tender (not tough or Chewy), the Cheese had a buttery flavor to it and the Aioli had a Rich flavor and Minty aroma to it (Mint goes great with Lamb) with a generous amount of Fries on the Side.To finish off my Lunch before I left I finished it off with a Dessert Wine, a Robust Red Wine that had accents of Dark Chocolate on the End. Old School can sometimes show up New School, I enjoyed my 1st Visit and about a week and a half later I came back again for Lunch and I once again ordered the Sandwich again (tastes even better a 2nd Time) minus the Alcoholic Accompaniments. If you ever drive down Parkside, whether its to visit the Buffalo Zoo or just taking a Walk, come here for a Meal as Parkside is on your Side. !!!
Came in with the family on a recent trip to Buffalo. I was recommended to order the Sliced Lamb sandwich. I paired it with the onion french soup. it did not dissappoint.
Nice and friendly atmosphere, the fish is very good. I will be trying the full menu. I try to get there every Friday. I highly recommend you all visit Parkside Meadow. 5 stars!
