After a long drive to have brunch somewhere on Elmwood, just to find the doors locked, I ventured…read moreover here to have lunch and it did not disappoint! First off, I was greeted and found staff friendly and efficient! You have plenty of options for seating .. dining area, front bar, back bar, even an outdoor patio bar. Although it is dive bar-esque, it was nice and clean (let's be honest .. some dives have a stench and stickiness that can definitely ruin your appetite, no matter how much you may love them). They have a set up for bands to play, as one was playing while I was there for their 2 year anniversary (congrats!). What was nice is although I could hear the band (it was playing in the back and I was up front), it wasn't over whelming me. I have eaten places where, no matter where you sit, it's extremely loud, and I appreciated that you had a choice here. Now onto the food: The food should have been doomed to fail; my tastebuds were prepared to eat sweet, buttery, syrupy French toast with a mocktail at brunch elsewhere. But wasn't hyped about the menu because of this (which is not dog and pony's fault .. I had to work and didn't have time to research where else brunch was available). I settled on the umami smashburger by a suggestion of my waitress. Now once again, could have been doomed to fail as I'm not a French fry person and my favorite cheeseburger is one I make on my own. BUT WOW their food blew me away and made me forget all about my brunch let-down. The French fries were fantastic and had a great seasoning on them! The smashburger was great to the last bite .. and I was NOT expecting to finish it as it was a really nice portion (I ate lunch now 10 hours ago and didn't need to eat again it was so filling!) but it was so dang gone good I sure finished it! Smoked cheddar .. chimichuri aioli ... kimchi bacon jam .. oh ya that bacon jam was EVERYTHING!! Thank you to the staff at Dog and Pony for making my long drive worth while!

All the salt and what few Kimmewick seeds were on the roll fell off at the first bite. The fries were clearly frozen. I have to say I have no desire to ever return

Their Detroit-style pizza is REALLY good, you definitely should order one if you go, but that night, I wanted to try something else. All-in-all, a good experience, albeit a little pricey for what I got. About 7:30pm on a Wednesday, I found a parking spot across the street, right by the entrance. As I walked in, I was greeted by a nice, young hostess who immediately seated me at a table. Not long after that, my waitress for the evening, Brooke, came over with menus and water. Brooke was great - Friendly, checked in regularly, was knowledgeable about the menu! I whittled down the menu to three choices and she helped me decide with a great recommendation. With dinner ordered, I sat back and took in the ambiance - Plenty of TVs with sports on, classic rock music playing over the speakers, and LOTS of people enjoying the evening. This place was just as packed a year ago when I came, but this time, the staff were way more synchronized! Maybe 10 minutes later, my dinner arrived - I was impressed with the quick turnaround time! For dinner, I went with their Pimento Chicken Sandwich (crispy battered chicken breast topped with a house-made pimento cheese, sweet & spicy pickles, and Alabama white sauce, between a toasted brioche bun) with a side of fries. The sandwich was great - The pimento cheese was creamy with a nice "zing", the sweet & spicy pickles were plentiful and not too sweet, not too spicy and had a decent crunch, and the Alabama white sauce married it all together. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the toasted bun held it all together with ease. The side of fries were cooked perfectly and nicely seasoned but I was a little disappointed with the portion of fries. For over $20, I was expecting a little more, if I'm being honest. The quality was excellent but I would've liked either a little bigger chicken breast for the sandwich or more fries - The metal "boat" they were served in is small, at least to me it seemed small. District 37 is a solid restaurant in North Tonawanda! It's full of energy, friendly staff, plenty of drinks, and good food. I'm glad I had one of their sandwiches, it was very good! But for the price, I wish the portions were a little more. Next time I come though, I'll probably order another one of their Detroit-style pizzas, they're soo good!

The server spilled things several times on the table which he was very apologetic for but still....

Living in Buffalo several years now, I've never been out to Hertel Ave to grab food and drinks -…read moreSurprising, I know! Thanks to a Yelp Elite event on Hertel Ave., I FINALLY changed that with a fantastic late dinner at The Burning Buffalo Bar & Grill. One of the main reasons I don't like to go out in Buffalo is parking - I'm always anxious about finding a spot that's close to where I'm going, as well as not having to pay for it. It was 7:45pm on a Tuesday, so street parking was free so one obstacle down, and amazingly, I managed to park right in front of The Burning Buffalo Bar & Grill, but across the street - I'll take it! Upon walking inside, there were a few tables outside full of people having dinner and drinks with one waitress managing all of it. I walked in and was surprised how big, spacious it was. First order of business though was hitting the restroom, which was on the small side, but clean. After that, I grabbed a seat at the bar. The bartender was a young, pretty woman who was very personable. Unsure of what to grab for a drink, she asked what beers I usually go for and with that, she was fired off a few beers on draught I might like. I settled on the Jack's Abby Post Shift Pilsner and enjoyed sipping on that the rest of the night. She handed me the food menu and took care of a few other customers while I figured out what I wanted. I got it down to two items and I asked her for her recommendation, which was excellent and how I'd order, if and when I make it back. But similar to what other reviews on Yelp say, the atmosphere was very much like a neighborhood bar and grill, where everyone knows each other and if they don't know you, they're still more than willing to let you hop in and out of the conversation. I felt very comfortable sitting and listening to the "regulars" chat, watching a baseball game on the TVs behind the bar. So for dinner, I decided on ordering their Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich which is topped with lettuce, tomato, sriracha mayo, and cheddar cheese, with pickles underneath between a soft, brioche bun with a side of hand cut fries and a pickle spear on the side. The bartender recommended swapping out the cheddar cheese with pepperjack cheese, an awesome swap! The size of the fried chicken breast was HUGE by itself! I was so impressed how the well the sandwich held together as I devoured it. The chicken was hot, not greasy at all. The lettuce and tomato tasted fresh and looked crisp, there was plenty of that pepperjack cheese on top the chicken and pickles underneath. The sriracha mayo was excellent, albeit I would've liked more of it, I think more would've made the sandwich messy and hard to handle, so it really was the right amount on there. The hand cut fries were great as well; Crispier on the ends and softer in the center but plenty hot and not over seasoned. If you've seen other reviews of mine, you'll get the sense I have a pretty big appetite so I was able to demolish the sandwich but I couldn't finish all my fries, so that should be enough to tell you the portions here are HUGE and AWESOME! At first glance, the prices look expensive but I think they're justified as the quality and portions are phenomenal, I certainly felt I got my money's worth. I'm so happy that after several years of living in Buffalo, I made it over to Hertel Ave. finally! I'm also glad I chose The Burning Buffalo Bar and Grill for dinner. The quality and quantity of food, the friendly neighborhood atmosphere, the personable staff, what more can you ask for? I can't wait to come back and grab another Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich or maybe give their North Buffalo Cheesesteak a try!
