The fried bologna sandwich was insanely good. Great staff . This place is a must.

Trixi Stepford

Patty is a world-class bartender . The cheese board it's a great companion on a quiet evening with a book . Music nights are usually great here too, though.

Maureen Carlson

Catfish Po' boy was awesome. Food is great but the service was slow. Hope it's because they were short staffed. We will go again to see if it happens again.

House & Minimal Techno in the back room. Stop by Hardware for drinks and music ! Great times!

Great local independent spot. Buffalo First early adopter. And, the French fries are amazing.
