The Place is one of my favorite restaurants in Buffalo! I’ve come here many times for lunch, dinner, drinks and have always been impressed by the quality of food – until today. First time getting takeout and I was thoroughly disappointed. In the past, I’ve ordered and thoroughly enjoyed their fish fries, particularly the gluten free option they had. This time around was a different experience. The beer battered fish fry was decent, but I also ordered a white wine fish fry, a gluten free fish fry, and the spaghetti squash entree. The most underwhelming was the spaghetti squash – majorly overpriced for a tiny portion that also leaked through the container. The white wine fish itself was tasty, though I was expecting something else for the gluten free fish fry. Additionally, they did not provide all the sides that were supposed to come with it – they just gave us fries, no coleslaw or macaroni salad. The fries were overly salted with chunks of salt at the bottom (see photo). Overall, very disappointed in the quality of their takeout. I’m sad that one of my favorite restaurants has let me down on what is supposed to be a Buffalo classic.

Went to The Place upon recommendation, and we weren’t disappointed. We started with the amazing banana pepper dip which was probably big enough for four people. Or entrees were delicious as well. Knowing how good everything tasted, we finished with a crème brûlée. So good! We’re looking forward to going back with family.

This is a very good, neighborhood restaurant. It definitely has a local feel and I appreciate that. Super friendly staff and great service. The interior is a bit dark for me. I much prefer a brighter dining experience. The food was delicious. I had and recommend the buffalo chicken Mac and cheese. It’s enough for two.

I love being able to eat outdoors at one of the patio fire pit tables! The food is great, I’ve had their chicken wings before and tonight I tried the lobster gnocchi, to die for! Definitely make reservations though!

Went for lunch on a beautiful Monday morning and enjoyed the patio. The lobster roll with fries and the crab cakes were fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back!

Very disappointed. We ordered a sandwich and a pasta dish for dinner, waited well over an hour. I’m pretty sure that someone forgot to put our order in.

The Place is a solid choice if you’re hungry and want good food, good service. I’ll be honest It’s been hit or miss in terms of service before, I think based on how busy they are with weirdly slower times being a miss and busy being a hit. Absolutely need to get the Banana Pepper dip, I’ve had it loads of places but this Place does it the best.

Such a gem. We finished a two week trip through the region in Buffalo and picked this place for our last meal. Couldn’t have been better.

(Late Jan 2023) Thought I was in for standard bar food, but was pleasantly surprised that this was certainly not the case! Very good french onion soup and fantastically made Reuben on perfectly toasted bread
