Buffalo Eats

Peking Quick One is a hidden gem in every sense of the word. The Tonawanda restaurant is in an unassuming strip plaza located on a side street and looks like every other low key neighbor Chinese restaurant that specializes in Sweet and Sour Chicken. Unless you knew that the restaurant had a separate ‘homestyle’ menu […]

The buzz around Smoke On The Water started almost a year ago. I first heard about it when I read about a Dinner with Danger meal that would be a sneak peak into the menu at the new restaurant from Kevin and JJ Richert, the brothers behind the excellent Kenmore restaurant Torches. I’ve had the […]

With summer time finally here, Alli and I are going to try and visit more of Buffalo’s great outdoor, casual eateries.  We’ll be looking for those restaurants where you’ll see a lot of families, people lined up at a window placing their orders, ice cream cones and generally a wonderful smell of fried foods and […]

For more information about our Mighty Adventures, check out our page that talks about the goal behind these trips and how far we’ve gotten. Like I mentioned in our previous Mighty Adventure, Tom and I managed to visit 2 Mighty Tacos in the same day.  The second location we visited that day was Tonawanda’s Eggert Rd. […]

In a couple months I could be looking back at this meal as a critical turning point in out lives; this may have been the moment where Alli and I started loving spicy food.  We’ve never hated spicy food but we’ve never had a craving for it either.  After our meal at Jasmine, with both […]

Much like our trip to Pumpernick and Pastry, this visit happened because of our search for a wedding cake.  We have a ‘consultation’ with Muscoreil’s lined up for January so I wanted to stop in and get a preview of some of their sweets.  So after a delicious lunch last weekend we decided to get […]

A couple years ago Roadhouse closed down a bunch of their franchises, which included all of their Buffalo locations.  In the years that followed a strong following of their fans and former employees all lobbied for their return.  It took the former manager 8 months to get together the needed resources to reopen the restaurant […]

I have to admit when looking over our restaurant list, we have a several big gaps when it comes to certain towns.  The greater Tonawanda are would be one of those gaps.  For a couple of years my Dad lived in Tonawanda but we never really ate there; we visited Mississippi Mudds occasionally but that […]

The last time I ate at Mississippi Mudds was over 7 years ago and my memories are incredibly vague.  I remembered that it was a basic hamburger/hot dog stand that also served  ice cream and it was located right on the Niagara River.  I remember a dining area that was on the “roof” and a […]

Chipotle completely came out of nowhere for me, I had no idea what it was or what they served.  But suddenly twitter was blowing up about the new Buffalo location and people who had lived out of state were freaking out.  For a minute it seemed like the restaurant equivalent of Bass Pro coming to […]
