The Crossroads Culinary Center, known as C3, is a dining facility on the University at Buffalo…read moreNorth Campus that is open to the public. You do not have to be a student or staff to eat here, the sign at the entry makes it clear that everyone is welcome. I work on campus, and my colleague and I decided to give it a try yesterday for the first time for a breakfast brainstorming session. We rode the bus out to Ellicott Complex, and with the help of some friendly students, found our way to the Red Jacket building. I had no idea what to expect, other than there is an effort to locally source the food served at C3. When we arrived, we realized it is an all-you-can-eat set-up. There is a cashier in the lobby, who you pay before going in. Prices slightly vary based on method of payment. I used my bank card, and paid $10.66 total. Inside the dining hall, there is a huge circular buffet that takes up the entire middle of the large space. It's surrounded by various seating options, (booths, tables, a bar area, couches by a fireplace), all done in a modern, sleek aesthetic. The breakfast food options were abundant. There is: * A yogurt, granola and fruit parfait station * A milk & cereal station (at least half a dozen cereals to choose from) * A baked goods station (muffins, danish, pastries, donut holes) * A Belgian waffle station with toppings * An oatmeal and toppings station * A bagel and toast station with toppings (butter, cream cheeses, PB and jellies) * A hot-line station with scrambled eggs, hash browns, french toast, sausage and bacon * A made-to-order kiosk for omelets, eggs any style, custom breakfast sandwiches, and a variety of pancake flavors * A condiments area with hot sauces, mayo, ketchup, mustard, etc. * A beverage bar with coffee, soda, juice, and a cappuccino machine So before getting there, I didn't realize it was AYCE, and was in the mindset to order something healthy and light. My typical workday breakfast at the office is a yogurt and some fruit. I'd splurge a little, but was thinking eggs and wheat toast. NOPE'ERS!!! I big-time splurged, and did two rounds of several plates. I tried the omelets. I tried the pancakes. I tried the oatmeal. I had all the meats and scrambled eggs. I ate the baked goods. I had coffee, cappuccino, and soda. All for about ten bucks!!! And the food? It was pretty good! The hot-line food wasn't sizzling hot, but it's a buffet, so what you'd expect. The made-to-order options I tried came out hot and fast. I love oatmeal, and the oatmeal with toppings was smooth and satisfying. The coffee was good, and the cappuccino machine was a nice perk. We hit a sweet-spot in timing, 9:30am, which seemed to be after the early-bird students were gone and before a small rush of sleep-in students showed up around 10:00am. Even so, it was never packed with gen-Z'ers. And the ones who were there were mellow and tame, no college party scene here. ;-) I definitely want to bring my husband and kids back sometime. The M&M pancakes are reason enough to bring my kids back, they'd love them. And for $10 a person, less if I put money on my UBBucks card, it's a super-steal of a deal. Dinner prices are higher, but still seem incredibly reasonable. Especially since the breakfast buffet used only HALF of the buffet space, so my guess is the dinner spread is even MORE food. One last tip. I mentioned we rode the bus, but it's not necessary. There are parking lots in Ellicott Complex, which usually have more parking available than by my office in the heart of North Campus. So check out a campus map, park near Red Jacket, find your way to C3, and wear your stretchy pants. Great price, ample variety, good food, nice atmosphere, feel like a college kid again, and leave the belt at home!

But I think I've stumbled on a little treasure I want to share with my YELP friends. It is the new cafeteria in the New Era Hat Company Headquarters Building on Delaware. 3rd floor or bust! Aramark is cooking for you and there is a ton of choices from deli foods, to salads, to grill food. The eating area is lined with TV's and a round "bar" circled by hanging caps. The view if you decide to eat outside surrounds you with yet another great arial view of the city. My recommendation after two times eating there- the sweet potato fries. I had the chicken soulvaki today and it was loaded with olives and cheese and nice greens, and chicken- only $4.99. A local Greek diner charges $7.95 and gives you 1 olive. Happy Eats!

We stopped in Buffalo on our way to Boston and made a beeline to Hayes Seafood House. A local…read moreinstitution, Hayes has been serving up fresh seafood prepared in a wide range of presentations since 1877. Hayes is nothing fancy; the star here is the seafood. Counter service and popularity requires a bit of a wait but that is necessary to decide what to order from the bountiful catch on offer. We started with raw oysters and clams casino. Freshly shucked oysters are a thing of beauty and Hayes did not disappoint. The Clams Casino are a house specialty which we highly recommend for the experience of a unique dish. We both ordered the broiled haddock and scallops for our entrees and could not have been happier. Perfectly seasoned and generous portions ensured a fabulous dinner. Hayes is a Buffalo standard for seafood for a reason - superb selection and masterfully crafted seafood makes for a great experience.

The absolute best lunch my mother-in-law and I have had in a VERY long time. This is by far the most incredible and freshest seafood in the area. We got there shortly after opening so it was not busy, but by noon, the line was out the door. Very clean restaurant. You can tell they pay attention to the place. Great decor, friendly staff. Plenty of seating room. The menu was a bit overwhelming. I ended up getting the blackened haddock platter (with red potatoes and coleslaw) and mom got the lake perch with the same sides. We both were in love at our first bite. The haddock was perfectly seasoned and I had no doubts it was cooked well. Lately I feel some places I have been served fish that isn't done. No doubts here. Coleslaw was saucy and flavorful. Potatoes were delicious and the meal also came with a roll. The perch meal was exactly what my mother in law was hoping for. She hadn't had it in a while and it was a heaping portion. She said it "barely" had much taste, which was a plus for her. The batter was clean, and you can tell fresh oil was in the fryer. While the prices are a little high for a normal lunch, they were worth every penny. We will definitely be back.

I thought I'm going to have to check this place out for myself. So here's what I discovered. The food is okay, not amazing but just okay. Probably the lowest priced breakfast I have seen in Niagara Falls. They do not offer you free water, it's all bottled. Coffee is 4 bucks, which is pretty standard. I think the modus operandi is this: they get you in with the cheap buffet and then up charge you for anything else you want to order. Which I get, the buffet is always a loss leader, and they get you on the drinks which are marked up significantly. So let's talk about the buffet itself. Based on what I read from the other reviews, the hot ticket would be to get there right when it opens. That way the food has just come out, it's fresh and hot, and there is enough of it. I had the eggs, the sausage, and a piece of French toast and a waffle. I did go back for seconds to get a bowl of fruit, and try out the tater tots. The food was okay. Again, not the greatest I've ever had and not the worst I've ever had. It was a perfunctory breakfast. But again I tell you you need to get the right when they open to get the best stuff. Would I go here again? I don't think so. There are plenty of other places in Niagara Falls that are way better for just a little bit more money. However, if you have a group of people you're trying to feed on the cheap, this is a place to go. Case in point while I was there, two busloads of Mennonites came in and swarmed the buffet. Bottom line? It's a cheap breakfast, and you will walk out of there for under 20 bucks if you just have a coffee.

She is the only one that can really eat. The hot bar by the time I get there at 5:30 is pretty much closed up. They arent putting new food out from lunch time and they arent putting out any Asian food, the rice is closed down. It is really sad. Why have a hot bar if people camt eat? Especially those who get there at normal dinner time when u would want it? U can microwave food but I hate to do that and I would rather get a hot meal and bring it in from elsewhere. It isnt good. I wish it would change. I am sure I am not the only one. Like I said the sushi is good and I eat it often. I cant eat a salad as they dont separate the croutons and I am Celiac.

When we are looking to pick up a fast meal we usually opt for Wegmans Subs. We have tried subs from many places but nothing compares. The bread is fresh made, not made elsewhere then packaged in plastic bags and delivered to sub shops all over town. They don't have a menu with 20 different subs, they only offer a few favorites but you can customize your how you like it. I prefer a cold sub. The Danny's Favorite is also my favorite. If you like a lot of toppings you're in luck. They have several types of greens along with pickles, olives, cucumbers, onions, etc. and a variety of peppers. You can have some or all. The meat and cheese are really just toppings for all the veggies. They have quite a few condiment of which you can in any combination. I particularly like the honey mustard which is more honey than mustard. I get mine in little containers to put on at home. The large is about 14 inches long and about 4 inches wide and piled high, all for $11. It could feed a family of 4.

My recollection was that the food was often salty, but this was not the case today. My wife's meal was equally good. For an inexpensive meal (each under $20) I thought it was an extremely good value.

I had a flight of local whiskeys, which were all tasty. Everything we had was great - the steaks were perfectly cooked. The seafood soup special was awesome (loaded with mussels, clams, salmon and creamy but not too creamy). The panzanella salad was also a top notch version as well with extremely fresh ingredients. Overall though, even including the kids, the favorite was the Brussels sprouts appetizer. Slight maple flavor, good miso flavor, perflectly crispy and some extra sweetness pops from pomegranates. That's the one I'll be thinking about!
