Brisket Sandwich Pulled Pork sandwich Mac n cheese Beans
Sammy K.

An amazing experience overall! My fave Mac n cheese from a bbq spot! Tasted like it was actually homemade and the jalapeño corn bread was fantastic. Good portions of meat on the sandwiches too. I had the brisket sandwich and the pulled pork sandwich. The woman who took my order was very friendly and nice. I can not speak on the ambiance as I picked up my food from the take out window and ate at home. There was plenty of street parking and picnic tables outside if you wanted to eat right away. I'd go back again to try some more things! ***I asked for the rolls to be separate as I didn't want them to get soggy on the way home so I could write an honest review ***

Brisket or pulled pork sandwich combo

Was glad to be able to check out this place. Be aware, it's not on Sheridan Dr, it's on Sheridan avenue, closeish to ECMC. We ordered two belly warmer cups, those alone were filling! Tried all the sides. Got a pulled pork and brisket sandwich combo, didn't even try that yet since the belly warmer was so filling. Definitely some really good BBQ! Also appreciated the extra BBQ sauce. I ordered via phone and my order was ready in about 25 minutes. The two people there were very nice. I don't think there's any indoor seating.

Pulled pork, brisket, Coleslaw, cornbread

Ok. Ok. Ok. My guy and I have been on a mega BBQ kick lately. We were lying in bed looking at Yelp pics and reviews of all Buffalo BBQ spots and this one immediately peaked our curiosity, based on location alone. We first called to pre-order Pastrami and while on the phone we realized, we have to go there immediately for take out. The location was super clutch! We generally don't even bother w sandwiches, so we ordered combo meals. Even tho we accidentally got a sandwich meal, we weren't disappointed. The brisket was so well seasoned. The pulled pork was mild and decadent. The sides....OMG. I was convinced that potato salad was always the worst option but this PS was insane. It had a deep vinegar base and really had a well rounded flavor balance. The Mac & Cheese...outstanding. What I would do is put a little tv outside during the Bills games for everyone waiting to pick up orders or to eat at the tables, you know, create a little vibe. Cool experience and great service!

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!

We came here for lunch because we seen so many great reviews but man, what a disappointment. The…read morebar area was nice, but the service and the food was not as everyone else described. I ordered the smash burger, my husband ordered the turkey sandwich. After we were waiting for our food for over 25 minutes, the server came over and said that he was just informed they don't have the turkey because they had an issue with that freezer. Ok, so my husband ordered the cheese steak because he was super excited for the bahn mi roll. My smash burger was alright, but the bread they use for their burgers remind me of those cheap buns you get from TOPS that just fall apart. The worst part was that they forgot the dog sauce on my burger, so I asked for the sauce, and THEY CHARGED ME FOR ASKING FOR SAUCE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO ALREADY BE ON THE BURGER I ORDERED. My husband made sure to tell me after we already left because he knew I would have fought it and our already 1.5 hour long lunch date would have been longer waiting for the refund... He ordered the cheesesteak and the sandwich was so small, and the "bahn mi bun" wasn't even toasted which is a signature for bahn mi bread. He said the flavor was fine but nothing to rave about. The worst part, for me, were the French fries that came with both of our meals. They were soooo heavily peppered that they were inedible. We asked for ketchup to try to make them tolerable, and they gave us a pre-portioned small cup of ketchup... You serve french fries with most of your menu, why isn't there ketchup on the table?!? Overall, It was a nice place to have on senrca street which used to only have the blackthorn and franchescas, but I would not eat here again.
