We enjoy going to this casino. It’s low key and not sensory overload with noise. The crowd is a more mature, relaxed crowd, with a good vibe. It’s easy to get to, the parking lots are safe and and easy to get in and out of. Service is quick and the slots are fair. The bar is right in the middle and easy to get to. We enjoy going there and blowing off some steam.

It needs to be a little updated staff was friendly but they didn't have drinks excessible or easy to get to also. There wasn't many wait staff but A-OK casino. I do recommend this for my friends and I will be back. Oh yes You're also as a live band there which was a decent Band.

We always enjoy going to the Hamburg casino for a number of reasons. We find the staff very friendly and helpful the food and beverage prices are very affordable and it very clean and a safe place. The no smoking in the casino is also another benefit. They have a section for smokers along with different types of gaming machines so if you need to smoke you don't have to go outside.

Usually I don't do reviews unless something was exceptional or something that really bothers me, but last night was an Exceptional Night at Hamburg Gaming. The fish fry was EXCELLENT, fresh, good portion, and well worth the $15. The country band was also Exceptional.

All the way from Texas, and I have to say this place is ok. I never expect to win so I won't rate that. They have a ton of games but the 4 stars is because they don't have any $1 nine line slots.

Loved playing the slots. I actually won! I ordered some hot chicken wings. The worst Buffalo wings that I have ever had! They were soggy and some of the skin on the wings were chewy and felt like rubber. Also, the celery was soft and tasted like they were boiled and soggy.

By far the worst casino I've ever been too. Small, boring machines, terrible promotions. I had a promotion for a rinky dink $20 free play and the machine printed the ticket incorrectly and I couldn't even use it! I called for service and finally after 30 minutes and $200 dollars later, I was told that the promotions desk was closed and they were the only folks who could reproduce the ticket! Money guzzling place and it's not even fun there..in fact it smells like urine inside. Don't waste a trip to this terrible casino.

This is a review for Indulge @ Hamburg Gaming. It is convenient when going to the casino. This is the only good thing I can say. Prices are ridiculous for the amount of food you get. I had the chicken sandwich, all roll very thin piece of chicken. To substitute for something other than fries, price is abit high. Very disappointed with this place. I will never again eat here.

Best place to go for a night out when you have nothing planned and want to have good food and a good experience! Some of the best video slot machines I’ve ever played! Definitely will be going back it was a 10 out of 10 experience plus if you sign up for the membership card, they give you free play as well as an optional dining experience coupon!

If you become easily addicted to something this is the place for you. I'm an alcoholic and loved coming to this place for a couple of drinks and betting away my daughters college fund that my grandfather left her. Good service juts make sure you leave some money in your car to get gas on the way home.

Very nice establishment the people are friendly and the food is good but it can be very painful to loose your money they also have live bands sometimes and sports to watch. You can even play lottery! So you can enjoy all of these benefits at the same time and if your lucky enough you can win good luck!

Well kept casino and pleasant people working there. Payouts are as good as Batavia Downs. Both casinos have free self serve coffee and soft drinks. Has a decent fish fry. The Strangers band played Friday and rocked the house. Huge amount of the better/newer video slots. No card tables. Only open till 4 am.

Very clean, staff are extremely friendly. Great chicken wings at the small restaurant and Cyclone Bar has great drinks, especially their Long Island Ice Teas. I wish the ratio of free play received was higher than it is as you have to spend/lose/play a lot in order to get a decent amount but other than that I really enjoy Hamburg Casino.

I left a winner this evening.... Not a million bucks or anything like that. But I did leave with about $60.00 more than I went in with....

I just started working part time at Hamburg Gaming for the Delaware North Corp. So far, my experience with Delaware North and everyone at Hamburg Gaming has been fantastic. During my interview and on boarding, Toni (in HR) and Chef Brian were extremely welcoming. I was worried that they would not be as positive/understanding and friendly once I was actually hired. But, those worries proved to be unfounded. Everyone that I have interacted with so far has been extremely friendly and helpful. I look forward to working with the Hamburg Gaming staff for foreseeable future.

what a FUN night with family and friends. came to Buffalo from Florida to visit and spent an evening at Hamburg Gaming. super fun, friendly staff and sooooo many games to choose from. really clean and very well organized. must go !!

The food was delicious! The rides were fun. But you better come with cash. Some vendors only take it.

Very enjoyable time! Had drinks and food at the bar while playing video poker! The wings were amazing and the best I've had in a long time! Good time all around!

I can't believe the young red head lady at indulge!!! I spend thousands in this place every single week I didn't become a diamond member in a month for no reason!! She was so nasty and rude to me ... And when I asked her a question she said to me so rude that the line is over here which by the way there was no line .. then she cut me off and took the person that walked up behind me but closer to the side she pointed too ... How dare you. I stood there patiently waiting for the supervisor but they were extremely busy so I just left !! On top of this .. the same employee was definitely high on something her mouth was twitching and eyes and she was very jumpy.. I have seen her before and she wasn't like this so I know that she was clearly on something!! Ridiculous to let her even work today that's how obvious it was that she was under the influence of something!! I was so disgusted with the whole situation!! As a diamond member I should have never had to experience the treatment of such kind ... Well as any member!! However I take it very personal considering I have only been coming since October of 2023 and I was a diamond in less then a month!! Not sure if I will be returning!!

Not a big gambler, went there to try out the Indulge restaurant. Food was excellent, very generous portions, in fact personally I would have preferred a smaller portion and decreased price. Had the meatloaf poutine and took it home for two more meals. Reuben was also excellent.

Very welcoming, very knowledgeable staff, very friendly staff. Casino is very clean and fresh. Would definitely recommend to everyone to come to play here you won't be disappointed!

The casino was clean and spacious. There were complimentary drinks (coffee, tea and pop) . A waitress took my friends' alcoholic drink orders and brought them their drinks at the machines. We played mainly Penny slots. My friends smoked so we ducked into the smoking room, it was packed and cramped, we didn't stay there long. All the employees were encountered were friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were clean and spacious. We had a good time. They won, I lost. (Boo, lol) I'd go back again.

First time visiting after looking for something indoors. Very clean and very friendly staff. They were helpful and made you feel welcome. Even being busy and having some difficult customers, the staff kept calm, smiling and weren't stressed. The complimentary beverages are nice and having a tim hortons was a bonus as well! Will try the food next time I go as they weren't opened quit yet when I went!

Great selection of slot...clean and well organized...friendly staff

We went for the Outdoors Expo Show. It is a very nice place to hold such a excellent event. They had many vendors, from fishing, hunting, Youth Archery, and food to choose from and look through. The place was clean and inviting. Hopefully in the near future they will have more vendors attend once again. A long while back, I remember when they held a Archery 3D Competition! It would be great to see that happen again at some point.

Alot of vendors are not here this year.. food was okay minus the deep fried tacos those were amazing. Over lapping the two fairs was bad mistake

Had a terrific time! Went on the day you could bring in 4 can goods, that's the only way we would be able to go. We spend a lot on food, and the admission is too high, especially if buying food. I wish other groups would offer special days.

Wonderful. Haven't been to the fair in 33 years. It has changed A LOT...for the better. More seating, lots of food vendors, handicap accessible and cleaner. Lots of entertainment, places to sit in the shade. Did not go on the midway...still just as long. Did need more handicap parking, or police the available spots to make sure they are being properly utilized.

The Hamburg Fairgrounds, located in Hamburg, New York, is a versatile facility known for hosting a variety of events throughout the year. Here are some key aspects of the Hamburg Fairgrounds: Erie County Fair: The Hamburg Fairgrounds is perhaps best known for hosting the Erie County Fair, one of the largest county fairs in the United States. The fair typically takes place in August and features a wide range of attractions, including agricultural exhibits, amusement rides, live entertainment, food vendors, and more. Facilities and Venues: The fairgrounds encompass a large area and include multiple facilities such as the Event Center, the Showplex, the Grandstand, and various other buildings and outdoor areas that can be used for events. Year-Round Events: Beyond the Erie County Fair, the Hamburg Fairgrounds hosts various events throughout the year, including trade shows, expos, concerts, festivals, and sporting events. This makes it a central hub for community gatherings and entertainment in the area. Agricultural and Educational Focus: Being fairgrounds, there's a strong focus on agriculture, with events often showcasing livestock, gardening, and farming techniques. Educational programs and competitions for youth, like 4-H events, are also a staple. History and Community Impact: The fairgrounds have a rich history, deeply intertwined with the local community. Over the years, it has evolved to meet the changing needs of the community while maintaining its traditional charm. Accessibility and Location: Located conveniently in Hamburg, the fairgrounds are accessible to residents of the Buffalo metropolitan area and visitors from other regions. Its location and the variety of facilities available make it a popular choice for event organizers. Economic Impact: The Hamburg Fairgrounds contribute significantly to the local economy, particularly during large events like the Erie County Fair, which attract thousands of visitors who spend on accommodations, food, and other local services. Environmental Initiatives: In recent years, many fairgrounds across the country have been adopting greener practices. The Hamburg Fairgrounds may also be involved in such initiatives, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of large events. For the most current information about events, facilities, and the impact of the Hamburg Fairgrounds, it's advisable to check their official website or contact the management directly.

Hello World, the Hamburg fairgrounds was an exceptional place to visit to buy things to sell things and enjoy that moment for life. Thank you to Mrs. Karen and the staff at the radio station for putting this together every year. Thank you to the Hamburg fairgrounds for allowing this event to happen every year. This is also a nice place during that quick time you meet people you have camaraderie and you have a happy moment. This was a great experience. But you have to come to witness it for yourself. And I truly think you guys should come. Have a wonderful beautiful blessed day 🤩🥰

Had a great time with friends, just wandering all the sales booths and seeing all the animals. I love rides and would have rode them all, but no one else in our group was game 😪. Great way to spend time with friends and family will definitely go again.

We primarily come to the fairgrounds for the Erie County Fair, but have been for other events like the Festival of Lights and homeshows. While I understand that the gambling aspect helps keep revenue coming in all year round, I don't gamble so I really can't comment on the quality of that aspect of the fairgrounds. The fairgrounds are pretty easy to get to, and a lot of traffic improvements in the local area mean that traffic flow out after a big event is far better than it was even 5 years ago. While I miss some of the permanent structures that have recently been taken down, I understand that the removals will leave space for buildings that will be more accessible and better planned out for the long view. I really like the investment in the newer agriculture buildings, which are better for the animals, and for allowing the public to see them up close during events.

Hey guys, I don't know much about this place I'm not from here! This was a meeting destination to get a ride to the stadium for work. It was a nice paved parking lot. And we didn't have any issues getting to our bus. Look pretty clean and kept up.

Attended the Gun Show which was pretty crowded. Thanks to new overly stringent laws for purchasing ammunition, there were terrible long lines for NICS checks. Still I think the vendors did well. Lots of other cool things to look at there.

Pricy depending on your budget, but a great time for sure if you can affect it! Gotta ride the 'Grinch' train!

Hamburg Fairgrounds hosts a large variety of fun and informative events throughout the year we try to schedule in whenever we get the chance to attend! The wide variety of shows really provides a fun and inexpensive source of entertainment and how can you go wrong stopping into the casino for a drink, bite to eat, and gambling! Always a win-win to attend a Hamburger Fairgrounds event;)!

Great atmosphere to spend a day with friends and family, with plenty of food vendors to choose from, and tons of rides to satisfy anyone's adventurous side. I have been coming to this fair for the past 38 years and it never gets boring!

We bought a case of wine a few minutes ago. We stopped in on our trek to Niagara Falls. The man that served us was very knowledgeable. We are trying more dry wines now than sweet and he knew exactly what we should try. He was wonderful to chat with and very friendly. Worth the time to stop in!

I highly suggest a trip to this lovely little winery. Right now during quarantine, they are offering wine sample flights with cheese tray. The selection is wonderful and I love the coffee port. $7 for 5 samples and $6 for the cheese tray. Great deal! The service was also top notch!

Today is my 32nd birthday and first time ever doing a wine tasting. It has been along time I have been out and about. Came from Rochester. The people here were amazing. Customer service at 100 percent. No issues. No disappointments. I will come here 1,000 more times in the future. Actually I am making plans right now with my mom and sisters. Lol I loved the peace and just learning the process of wine making.

Awesome place. 😁 Some friends and I stopped to taste some delicious wines. Decent prices. The snack tray is small but the wines were delicious and we got to have snacks and try 5 wines (each) for $20 per couple 💚

Drove 30 minutes out of our way to experience a place with such great reviews and wide selection of wines, only to be told that the tasting room was closed for a private wine club tasting that was NOT mentioned on the website and there was very clearly an OPEN sign. Will NEVER attempt to try this place again. Would give 0 stars if I could just because of the sheer of disregard of purchasing patrons who clearly would have purchased several bottles and only taken a fraction of their time. Especially since there were 3 open tables and a tasting bar with no patrons.

This was my first wine tasting ......celebrating my girlfriend Birthday. I have been wanting to do this for years and the wait was well WORTH it!!! I can speak Ten Thousand words to express this five star tasting. Their knowledge about wine industry and the willingness to share their knowledge made our experiences memorable. Thanks for making our experience delightful.

A great little winery in western NY! My wife and I were in the area visiting our daughter - and stumbled upon this place on a rainy morning. What a fun time we had! The staff was excellent - so friendly and knowledgeable of both wine and the area. We tasted some great wines, at some fun snacks, and in general just had a great visit. Highly recommded!!

Had a great time. But I wish there was a restaurant to watch the races from. They offer food, but nothing special. It's still a great place to go and place some bets and have some fun watching races.

A day at the races, what fun. All the staff were helpful to us newbies. Drinks were good, but the food selection left a little to be desired.

We come to this location for multiple different events primarily most of which is the shrine circus and Erie county Fair, the property is well maintained well kept and clean. Bathrooms during major events have an attendant in them to make sure that they are not falling into disrepair. and due to the size of the grounds it allows for a very large fair to attend which usually takes at least two days to get through everything! and if you have children I would highly recommend showing tenie of Ben's the staff at this location always goes above and beyond for kids!

The Eerie County Fair was wonderful with lots of things to do and plenty of shopping.

Came for Erie county fair. Had a good time. Plenty of food vendors and attractions. Saw a Pink Floyd tribute band from Australia and it was a pretty good show. Still can believe in 2019 cash is the preferred method of payment. And to top it all off the ATM fees are ridiculous.

We went for the Christmas at the Fairgrounds Event. Of course, you must stop in and try your luck. It doesn't have to be an expensive one. That's what I like about it, you can bet anything.

At the time that I went there, the Erie County Fair was in progress. That being said, as a member of a veteran's organization that had a display on the Vietnam War in the historical building, I spent several days at the Fair and mat and spoke with many interesting people and other veterans.

Niagara, Wyoming, and Genesse County fairs are way better.

Lived in Hamburg for over 15 years, never new it was there until a friend kept posting beautiful photos. Beautiful views from above. A little unsteady pathway down the hill to 18 mile creek. Some paths blocked and i was with my young kids so didn't want to try to go around. Even though we didn't stay long, wax very beautiful. You could smell all sorts of fragrant flowers, though didn't see any birds for a bird sanctuary. We will definitely go back when we have more time to explore.

This is a great nature walk in Hamburg that goes along 18 mile creek.

First off, the tables were filthy. We were able to scrap grease from the table with a butter knife. Appetizer: Fried Calamari- was raw. They took it back. Then we waited for almost an hour for our entrées. Not worth the wait. Food was mediocre at best. Service was horrible. I had to get the hostess to tell someone about our appetizer. Then I had to go back to the hostess for our check. Our waitress was not very nice and could have cared less about us being there. If I could give zero stars I would have. It has been years since we were there. I thought we could give it another shot. Never again. Do not waste your time or money.

Our server was very nice and knowledgeable of the menu including the drink specials. The food was amazing. We ordered the dinner for 2 for $59. I got the bourbon apple glazed pork chops and they were Delicious, my husband ordered the chicken parm and said it was excellent. We had the ranch potato wedges which were covered in cheese and bacon for a appetizer and each got a salad. We shared the lemon cheese cake for dessert. This was our 1st time here but it won't be our last. The place was also decorated very nicely for the holidays.

Steak was excellent, service was excellent also. The chocolate cake was great. We got ice cream also, it cut some if the richness.

Ordered the pork belly as an appetizer and the duck as the entree and everything was 10/10! My only complaint is I can’t give this place more than 5 stars.

If you enjoy eating in the dark not because of the atmosphere but because they don't want you to see the burnt food. I have never had duck that was slimy and a smell to high heaven. Wife ordered a medium rare filet and when I put the flashlight onto the steak it was well done. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Waterstone was great! Service was wonderful. The food was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly. Our server was attentive and very kind. We made reservations and we’re seated right away. The menu has good variety including a good selection of seafood dishes. They also had specials offered as well. Great spot in Hamburg for an upscale meal.

Very nice atmosphere. Felt like a classy place. A little out my elements but food was excellent. Service was great too. Food was hot well seasoned. My favorite was wing the bourbon glazed a must.

I was in Buffalo dropping off my son at the university and we were looking for a place to eat. We went to this restaurant because it was close to where we were staying and we don't regret it! This place is amazing! The host that day was very welcoming, polite, friendly and kind he went to the tables to assure everyone was been treated good, it made us feel welcome; our waitress was super attentive, friendly and nice always making sure we were fine. The food was perfect, my steak was right on point and the scallops were fresh and perfect! Definitely will be coming back next time I'm in town!!

I am extremely glad we stopped at this restaurant. We were staying at a hotel near by. We were greeted by a very friendly man. He asked if we had a reservation, we didn’t but he was so kind and seated us right away. Our server was AMAZING (I wish I remembered his name. He had a bun) we didn’t have to ask for a thing. Made sure our drinks were filled at all times. The warm bread was so good. We had the stuffed banana peppers as an appetizer, they were delicious. The red sauce they were on top of, I wish I could buy a jar of that sauce. It was that good! My husband had the 14oz Ribeye. He was so impressed. Cooked to perfection. I had the Butternut squash Risotto with Sea Scallops! The scallops were so fresh and cooked just right , the risotto was so creamy. The perfect dish. We live in PA and will definitely be back! Thank you for GREAT service and wonderful meals.

It's clear to see why Lucia's on The Lake has received not only local but national recognition as one the best restaurants in Buffalo! I have been fortunate to dine here on several occasions, and it never disappoints! Lucia's does a great job blending fine dining in a casual atmosphere. The staff members are very pleasant, not pretentious. The food is top quality! They have lots of wonderful options to choose from ranging from high-quality seafood to premium cuts of meat and everything in between! I also enjoyed their creative cocktails, especially their signature lemon drop! I highly recommend making a reservation well in advance. They book to capacity on most nights....this restaurant is worth the wait!

Amazing! Wonderful dinners, salads and dessert. Our waitress was very nice. Busy place but well worth it. Everyone loved what they had. Bolognese pictured below and outstanding dessert shared by 4 people.

Our first time here and I was looking to have a delicious steak for my birthday, well it was the BEST steak I have ever had! Medium was perfect. My boyfriend had the tomahawk, medium as well and both just melted in your mouth! The food was great, the service was great and so was the atmosphere.

Tried this restaurant about 5 years ago and it was terrible, the chicken was rubbery, there was just nothing about anything we had that was better than mediocre. Although the dessert we had was good. We decided to give it another try after someone was raving about the short ribs. We had to get a reservation months in advance. I was expecting the food to be much better since it's always so busy. I'll start with the positives, service was good, food came out fairly quickly, they serve pretty good bread with both butter and olive oil dip, and all of that was really good. The french fries are fresh cut and those were also good, although the garlic and gorgonzola dipping sauces were quite bland. The key lime pie was fantastic although it was a pretty small piece for $12, extremely overpriced! Everything on the menu is overpriced. They had a sweet potato maple bourbon bisque that was really great, creamy texture and great flavor. My friend got the pork belly but was unimpressed. I was so excited for the short ribs, the waiter said they had been braised all day and that it's a customer favorite. It was so disappointing, I went to cut into it with my fork expecting it to be tender and fall apart and it was so tough I had to use a knife to cut it, it was not tender. Flavor was mediocre. But the texture was extremely disappointing. The mashed potatoes were decent, nothing to write home about...as was the asparagus. Will definitely not be back, way overpriced for disappointing quality. If you want delicious, fork tender, fall off the bone, melt in your mouth, short rib... go to vault@237. response to owner* - actually the waiter said maybe it was a "bad cut" or fatty- that WASNT the issue. they were not cooked properly to be tender. why would i wait around for you to cook them for another 30 minutes til they were as tender they shouldve been in the 1st place?! as for bringing in water bottles- we arent interested in drinking chemical tap water...i review restaurants regularly and you are the only person that has ever said a word about it...so no, "most" restaurants do not have that policy. you say you "allowed" us, as if you think you have the right to control if people drink their own filtered water. thats absurd!

It was our first time there, but it won't be our last! We had a wonderful dining experience, our server John is top notch, very personable and answered all of our questions, his knowledge on the menu is on point! And a lovely person. We'll be making our reservations for our next visit soon! Those oysters were the best I've ever had! Thank you for making my fiancée birthday dinner such a wonderful experience, he absolutely loved the salted caramel pie! Omg amazing! Jay the owner was very friendly and personable as well! Thank you for lovely dining experience, we'll be back!

Tasty but expensive food and some entrees are more substantial than others. $47. for lobster linguini, was excellent, $34. for 5 lobster ravioli, with some lobster, a couple scallops and one shrimp was good but I was still hungry. Would have been perfect with a side of pasta. Music needs direction. For such a high end restaurant, I would expect more refined music selections to match the experience.

Really hard to make reservations, but so glad we made them in advance! Went right before mother’s day and had amazing food. Beautiful view of the lake as well.

My first time here tonight......... made the reservations 2 months ago......WELL WORTH THE WAIT!! Food was absolutely amazing, highly recommend the bread board to start. Already made my next reservation...... can't wait till October! 😜

Living in buffalo all you hear about is Lucia’s on the lake as one of the best places to eat . Well then people might start researching more and asking people who actually enjoy going out and enjoying great food because I was not impressed at this price point . First off I waited 3 months for a reservation witch is insane to me this isn’t Vegas. I’m just a city boy trying to enjoy some amazing food . Started off at the beginning with a bad experience sitting waiting 20 minutes for a server to even approach our table witch I can understand if they didn’t have the staff witch wasn’t the case Wasn’t even offered bread like all the other tables around us witch definitely made me feel like we were being treated differently. So we had to order the bread board .After having to pick different options to what we originally wanted to order because they were sold out . If you are going to be concerned a steak house I would recommend not selling out on your most expensive steak . The appetizers calamari and bread board was very good . Are dinners were also very good but nothing special the short ribs was definitely not on point and the seafood pasta well it was seafood pasta .Like I said wasn’t my first choice would have loved to have a tomahawk but like I said that was sold out and other steak options also the only steak that was available was the Japanese Wagyu. Would I go back maybe and try something thing else and hopefully have a better experience.

My daughter treated me to a wonderful delicious dinner. Reverations were two months to get a table and was well worth the wait. Will never forget it. The view was beautiful on the lake. The food was incredible. Our waitress was so nice and helpful. Place was very clean and elegant. Will be back.

Came here for Valentine’s Day save everything exceeded my expectations! The calamari was not only a large portion but melt in your mouth- not chewy whatsoever! The friend goat cheese Salad was great and my husband and I both ordered steaks, he had the bone in filet which was amazing and I had just an 8oz filet with a lobster tail and the lobster was the best lobster I have ever eaten before!! Service was top notch as well, we are looking forward to going back next month

Nearly everything was on point. Service, ambiance and most of the food. I ordered the A5 wagyu ribeye steak for $129 US. There was no spinalis, it was sliced into strips and had not even a hint of maillard reaction. This cut was a strip steak. The nice server said they always look like that. She offered to take it to the kitchen. We were celebrating Valentine's Day and I didn't want to ruin it for my fiancé so I let it go. I was only able to consume about 1/3 of it. It was also not warm enough to melt the butter that came with it. Everything else was amazing.

Staff are wonderfully attentive without hovering. They know how to handle a crowd, they're packed every night. Well versed on their menu and other selections. The food is excellent, but it is certainly expensive. The decor fits the upscale lakefront theme.

Exceeded my expectations. Absolutely amazing service, and the food? To die for! Everything from start to finish was superb. My husband ahead of time even called the restaurant and had them put a cute lil note on our table🥰. I can not WAIT to come here again. My new favorite 😍. I got the short rib, literally fell off the bone! And he got the tomahawk steak, HUGE. We also got a side of tobacco onions, which was a massive side as well, it tastes like onion ring chips 😋. Once again amazing, incredible, beyond perfect. ALL OF IT 🙌🏼

Large serving of fish that’s great for one hungry person or easy to split for two. It was nice and crispy. Coleslaw and potato salad was super tasty. Fries were hot and crispy too. We went on a super windy day, but I suspect it would have been a really nice view of the lake since it’s right on the water.

Shocked, I have been patronizing Hoak’s for decades. On our recent visit, I couldn’t tell what restaurant I was at. Seafood was crusted with over thick batter, nothing resembling what we’re used to. Had a plate full of discarded batter, as I tried to find seafood from my seafood platter. Coleslaw was still good. I asked when they changed batters, two waitresses, blank stares. One said she’s been there for years…speechless when she said they’ve always been like that. Absolutely not! Embarrassed we had brought friends, raving about food. All 4 meals incomplete. No applesauce for chops, waited for Cole slaw, waited for salad, waited for soup. No dessert available…none…to enjoy with coffee. We had to go to another restaurant for coffee and dessert. Spoke to manager, he acted like he had no idea what we were complaining about and offered me a drink, as if alcohol would make terrible meal and service palatable. I declined. Checked with family, same complaints, should have checked before and saved us $200. Wasn’t busy, should have been a huge red flag. So sad to cross this former, very favorite off our list. ADD: You only came to table obviously bothered because we told waitress food was terrible, we did not eat all our food, three takeout containers for our pets, our friends weren't embarrassed for us-we were embarrassed we raved about the food and service and it was lacking, late and even not available.We had multiple concerns during meal, which is why they sent a second waitress, Everyone is going for hot dogs, probably why the restaurant wasn't packed. Just need to stop at the bar for a few so we don't notice food quality. And the "great customer service" shines through in your response.

I loved sitting right on the water .. made it feel as if your away in some distant place ....even though I live minutes away from the lake ..the service was good they had a young busser clearing away my plates soon as he seen them ...which was right away..the wait staff was polite attentive and the food was good...and came after the appetizer ...not at the same time which is annoying ...had a drink minutes after being seated

Quaint little place with a friendly environment. Didn't eat but the food looked delicious. The staff and patrons were very friendly. Drinks were delicious and the view was stunning. Can't wait to come back here❤

Service was great, food was delicious and more than filling. I had the Fish Fry, it was delicious. My mother in law had the fish sandwich, and there were 2 pcs of fish on it! Also had the wings, and they were crispy and delicious! Welll definitely be back!

After seeing some bad reviews we hesitated, but the couple other times we had been there were good so we went ahead. Hostess was very pleasant and when spot opened up outside she graciously moved us. Our waiter was attentive and very good. Food was great. I had fish sandwich with potato salad. Husband had Buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. Huge portions. Highly recommend.

Very nice place with a nice view and enough parking. Perfect service and fast serving. However the restrooms were dirty and smelled like pee. The food kinda oily for me. But others may like it that way.

Gem of a spot! Stopped in for lunch after crossing the border. It has a fantastic location right on hwy 5 in Hamburg, just a few minutes from Buffalo. The lake views from the patio were sublime. We wish we had more time to sit in the sun and take in the vistas. The food was excellent too - home cooked and nothing overly processed. We had the grilled chicken salad, the grilled chicken sandwich and clubhouse sandwich. Very generous portions with fresh ingredients, crisp veggies and real grilled chicken breast (not pressed chicken), nicely seasoned. This place has been family owned and operated since 1949. From the many regulars who seemed quite at home, you could tell it’s an area fave. Relaxed atmosphere with a good mix of classic and current tunes. We were happy to find it and will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Its a good location that is right on the lake. Food is usually really tasty, the chicken sandwichs are good go to item. However each time I've been here I never seem to get any silver at seating. Weird complaint, but its kind of awkward getting my food but being able to eat it.

Lovely pub overlooking the late with great views. The buffalo chicken sandwich was gigantic but sure did go down easy. Steak salad was also great. Staff is super friendly.

I must say I got the Fish fry this Friday it was amazing. Potato salad was perfect consistency and extra flavor my favorite. Coleslaw so fresh. It was super busy and the staff was so friendly and was on top of their game. Atmosphere by the lake extra bonus😊 Thank you 🩷

My God this is our new favorite spot....the prices are very reasonable for the portions. Everything was super delicious and so fresh.

Haven't been to Hoaks in a long time was excited to go. Had to wait to eat outside so we stayed in better because I only saw one table with an umbrella it was hot sunny and just a little wind. We ordered Onion rings that were very greasy my daughter squeezed the 1st one and grease come out of it I ate 2 and had enough to greasy the onion on the inside was nice but no thank you. My daughter has chicken wings mild they were saucey she thought they weren't mild but they were she liked them nice crunch but could have given something to put the bones in the thing they were in was to small for it all I seen somebody next to us putting the bones on his wife's plate! I had a fish sandwich that looked on other reviews to be really large! Not mine had to scrape some of the coating of the fish alot of extra breading wasn't very much fish under it the roll was nice and the coleslaw was just ok but not bad. I wasn't satisfied after I was so excited to eat there didn't even want to have a drink at the outside bar wasn't talking any chances being disappointed again I might come back before summers over and try something else

What a classic timeless place! Food was wonderful, best fish fry I’ve had in a very long time. Fish quality was excellent. The waitress was so sweet and efficient. Everyone there seemed to have a story from the old days of coming and it was so nice to hear that. Including my mother :). We didn’t get a chance to sit outside but we sat by the window the views were so relaxing and wonderful. Can’t wait to take my children here one day and continue the summer tradition.

For an Irish pub/restaurant, they have a surprisingly diverse menu, inluding Mexican, Italian, and health-conscious dishes. Their Irish dishes seem to consist of only beef (corned beef) and numerous Reubens. No lamb? No boxty? No matter, we really enjoyed the quinoa bowls. They can accommodate large groups.

Absolutely delicious ! We had fantastic service during the week day lunch rush. Can't wait to come back! Brought back good memories of taking my son's as children and now they are taking you to lunch with your Grandson Just wonderful ! Thank you JP Fitzgerald's

When arrived was told there was a half hour wait however, we were seated within 5 minutes. The menu is good and has plenty to choose from. Our server was friendly and attentive. Food was tasty and presented well. Restaurant is clean with a spacious flow. Only gave 4 stars as their beer was not very cold.

7-3-23- Our party, three adults and one toddler were seated right away. Our server, Lindsey was absolutely phenomenal! She had remarkable timing when she checked in on our table. She was sincerely pleasant. Nothing but positive comments about our meals. I ordered the combo 2, wings, fingers, mini beef on weck & waffle fries. Every item was perfect to order. The menu prices are very reasonable. It won't be long before I come back. Thank you Lindsey & J.P Fitzgerald's!

Good food, friendly service, and a comfy atmosphere. We had the Shepherd's Pie, Open Reuben, French Onion Soup, and Guinness. The Shepherd's Pie would be perfect if it was topped with melted cheddar cheese.

We showed up with a group of 11 people, we waited about 5 minutes for them to accommodate all of us at one table. Service was a highlight of the experience followed by the quality and flavor of what they served. Everyone paid separately, but the server made the checkout process as good as the beginning. For a great meal and great service this is the place to plan your next meal out.

Great meal. Came recommended by our hotel. Food was incredible. Husband had their Reuben sandwich, which he usually likes with pastrami. But their corned beef was super tender with no fat. Very impressed. And their rye bread is made fresh daily! Excellent all around. Highly recommended!

The food was amazing and reasonably priced! 5 dollar kids menu! Their signature irish red beer is outstanding! Our waitress was as sweet as pie and so good to my little boy. They get an A plus for cleanliness! So good we're going back for Mom's birthday dinner and St. Paddy's celebration! There's plenty of seating and separate from the bar, which is great for families.

The atmosphere of the place was pretty great. And the service was swift and the server was kind. I went there because it is said that they have the best Reuben in Buffalo and I would agree on that sentiment! I rather enjoyed the meal with waffle fries.

We were a party of 4, sat in the bar room, corner seating. Food fantastic as always, service great too...they work hard there. Atmosphere was loud of course but we chose to sit in that area. Keep making the popcorn! Reminds us of the old Ground Round that used to be in West Seneca. We'll be back. HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY 😊

Took my mother out for good corn beef dinner. Food tasted great, service was very enjoyable. The only complaint is not enough food for the $$$ price$$$. We were hoping for a more filling meal.

First time at the restaurant. Our food was fresh and delicious. The French onion soup was great and the service fantastic. Plus they have a good beer list!

We LOVE it here. We’ve been going here for years as a family. It’s a staple for us. The best French onion soup - no one compares. Love the combos, Irish dip and beef on weck. Their chicken wings are our favorite! Great atmosphere and a very kind staff. Worth the wait when it’s busy! Thank you!!

Thanks for accommodating us for our dad's 80th birthday... would be nice if you took reservations... but because we showed up early (before the breakfast buffet started) our group of 20 was able to be seated. We would've liked a second choice for egg type since there used to be two and now just plain scrambled. Otherwise there are a lot of options. Waitress was great...pleasant and on the ball... thank you!

Pegasus is always delicious and all the waitresses are so pleasant! The restaurant is squeaky clean and they recently updated it with new pictures making it look beautiful! With their large banquet room, you can have large family breakfasts or your church group with advance notice; rest assured that the menu will have something for everyone, even the little ones! Plenty of parking along with handicap access ♿ which is always a plus. Definitely take advantage of this nice, comfortable, friendly restaurant during the upcoming holidays if you just don't have enough space at home.

We ordered the fish fry. VERY greasy and most of coating was soggy. The carrot cake at best was mediocre. Honestly, rice pudding was the worst I've had. Not flavorful and creamy. Tasted watered down somehow. Would not order same meal again. However, waitress was excellent.

Not a bad place, and good to meet up with a friend or 2, or to even take a significant other out for a less expensive lunch or even dinner. The food is pretty decent, and the service is usually good. The decor has changed over the years, and I think it looks better than ever inside, nowadays.

Food & service was great the waitress was trying to apologize because maybe the food took a little while but we didn't think it was an issue.I just replied good food takes time.Our family been coming here for years usual spot b4 or after the Fair. has always been good food & service

Just like a reviewer posted a couple weeks ago I unfortunately ordered the "homemade biscuits and gravy" and it was terrible. First off it was practically cold. Then the biscuit was the size of a half dollar. It was essentially a mini biscuit just one. It did come with eggs and potatoes but I was predominantly interested in the biscuits and gravy, at least a full size biscuit would be in order not a mini one. Now for the taste, it tasted like unseasoned wallpaper paste with some tiny bits of sausage. It was terrible. Had to send it back and then I lost my appetite entirely it was that bad. Definitely not homemade. Very disappointing.

We went for lunch and our meals were hot and tasty. Our waitress was friendly and nice. The prices were average. We would stop there again. My husband had meatloaf, and I had roast beef.

Good Greek restaurant, beautifully decorated. High seating capacity. My only complaint was the breakfast ham, fried pieces of deli ham. Other than that we've never had a bad meal here.

I've never had a bad meal here. The staff are friendly, they even actually write down the order. Coffee is kept hot, drinks are kept full. This last time I went they were swamped. We waited no more than three minutes and the server, Skye, still apologized for the wait. She was so pleasant and attentive that I'm sure she was just giving another family the time they needed to make a good decision and enjoy their meal.

I went here with a few friends for breakfast recently and I can't say much positive about our experience. I ordered the biscuits with sausage gravy and it looked/tasted like it came right out of a can. The biscuits were pretty much stale which also didn't help. The service was alright, but it felt like many of the people working were a little lost, but all of them were friendly and extremely nice nonetheless. I can't comment on dinner, but I can't recommend breakfast at all.

I've had a burger from every small business in a 20 mile radias of this place. This was the worst. All you could taste was the dirty grill it was cooked on. Absolutely disgusting. I could taste grease from 10 other menu items. Clean your nasty grill.
