PASabreFan Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I don't know if this had aired before, but this restaurant was featured the other night on Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives." This is actually in Kenmore, I believe. (Had to google map it.) Just wondering if these joints featured on the show are as good as portrayed -- I have to say, I was ready to jump through the screen. This could expand nicely during our hockey vacation into a discussion of the best inexpensive places to eat in and around Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbossy Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Guy was out here last August, I think? Sophia is in Blackrock a couple blocks into the city line from Kenmore. I think Riverview Rest and Nick's place are all related owners somehow. All good eats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Dudley Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Okay definitely a long 2 weeks here w/o nhl. But since you brought it up, I'll play. My wife loves the diner's, drive-in's and dives show and has got me watching on occasion as well. We have been to 2 places here around pittsburgh that were featured and they IMO did not meet the hype I had personally built up and while they were good they weren't Grrrrrreat, at least to me. That said since we like the show we have mapped out some of the other places that were previously featured from Bflo to maybe make a stop on a future road trip. So if anybody can endorse tell me their experience for any of these below please do; Grover's bar $ grill East Amherst Lake Effect Diner, Bflo Ny Pizza Junction, North Tonawanda BlackThorn restuarant & pub, Bflo My bad, changed my wording above in case board IOC charged me with commercializing.

Grinder Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Pizza Junction has been my favorite restaurant basically my whole life. I am 28 years old and have lived in North Tonawanda all 28 years. There are weeks where I will order from there 3-4 times. Basically everything on the menu is excellent, with huge portions. While there has been a slight decline in the service/preparation of the food recently, it is still my favorite place to eat by a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizza Junction and John's Pizza are two places I still go to each year when I come back to visit. Love John's Chicken Finger Pizza! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabregoats Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Grover's bar $ grill East Amherst - definitely a must go. Great tasting and huge burgers. Only problem is it gets quite busy, and they don't have a large capacity. So, try to get in early if you are going for dinner, lunch isn't as big of a problem for getting a table. Lake Effect Diner, Bflo Ny - Not worth the hype. The clever name has fooled many a Buffalonian. A little pricey for a diner and overall nothing special I haven't tried the other two so I can't comment. But with Grover's you shouldn't be disappointing.

Calvin Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Lake Effect Diner, Bflo Ny I lived down the road from Lake Effect for a couple of years.. absolutely nothing special at all. The milkshakes were pretty good and they did have some special offers on that, my memory fails me now, but for the most part it was overpriced and the service wasn't that great either. The novelty of the diner car was pretty cool though, so if you've never seen/been in one then you could probably do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPie Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 A little input on a months-old question above. I've only been to one of the DD&D locatdions mentioned on the show, a place (that I forget the name of) in Norfolk, VA. I don't know if it was the crappy rainy day, the mild hangover, or what, but the sandwich wasn't anything special, even though Guy mentioned it being good. They were famous for milkshakes, but I didn't try that. That's my mistake, most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
