    Fish fry
    Sara K.

    I've wanted to come here for a while and finally made the drive. Well worth it! Parking lot was nicely paved and I enjoyed walking past the potted flowers and peppers growing outside. We were quickly greeted indoor, which was nice and had an additional dining area indoors and away from the bar, but we chose to sit outside which was also nice. My friend ordered the pork chop and he didn't love it ... felt it was too tough. I never trust anything he says because he doesn't eat cheese... except pizza, chicken wings, or anything with spice or peppers or onions. Can't trust that judgement, amiright?! Lol I however LOVED my meal! I got the beer battered fish fry (served fridays and Saturdays) with macaroni salad and mashed potatoes with gravy. Also comes with coleslaw which I don't like so I asked not to include. There was rye bread too which I didn't eat. Anyway, the fish was cooked to perfection with a crisp and delicious batter. Tarter sauces was good. Macaroni salad wasn't the best ever but was still good. Loved the mashed potatoes and gravy. Service was fast and friendly. Menu had a great variety of options for all generations and tastes. I would love to come here again.

    1st time eating Franks and ordered Take out. .... Food was one of the best I have had in WNY. Recently moved near the restaurant and excited to know I now have a go to spot when we don't feel like cooking. Added bonus they package take out orders perfectly and BTW they make their own Ranch dressing!!! Bravo !

    Came here with a party of 7 and waited well over an hour for food. Was told by the old guy loudly in front of the other diners we needed to leave because they needed the table. We were waiting for my husband to pull up the car so my elderly disabled aunt with her walker could sit. Won't be coming back. Below is included screenshots of the delightful response I received via messenger. Dan Amatura, the host listed on the menu was the rude old man who yelled at us btw

    Franks is an old-time family restaurant known for their fish fries and roast beef. They also have daily changing specials (which they take the time to change on their letter board out front every day). It is not a huge restaurant but there is a bar area, a small dining area and then additional space in the back. In the summer they also have a small patio. I would say that if you are an old person searching for a good fish fry, it's a decent place to go. My purpose for going was because we just moved to .5 miles down the road and we thought we could go here to have a good time, get drunk and walk home. It is not that kind of place. We felt like we were at a Moose lodge. I will gladly pay for an Uber to go somewhere where the younger crowd might be. As far as the food that we had, it was alright. I got a cup of their shrimp gumbo and it had no actual shrimp in it. It was like they cut a small salad shrimp into 3 pieces and put it into the soup. I was pretty sad about it. My husband got the chicken sandwich which was pretty good but needed more dill sauce. I don't want to knock it because the regulars that go here absolutely love it. And if I ate fish fries, I'm sure I would get one from here. But overall, the place is not for me and I'm unlikely to come back.

    A great casual spot, clearly popular with local regulars. Four of us came for an early Saturday night dinner & the tables were nearly all filled when we left. Service was warm & attentive, and the food was all very good. My biggest local food awakening was about how AMAZING their Beef on Weck sammich is. I've tried several over the years & I always come up meh - bc of the dry, overly-bready, overly-salty Kimmelwick bun, mass-produced, not tender, not rare, overly-salty roast beef. THEIRS IS WORLDS DIFFERENT. Squishy soft bun, tender & juicy *actually made here* roast beef, jus & horseradish on the side. A delicious sammich beyond other worldly different from every other meh one I've had. You choose for your own self, but I will not order Beef on Weck anywhere else but here. Also great: Clams Casino Sausage Bread Prime Rib dinner special Grouper Fish Fry dinner special Wings - came w/the Beef on Weck combo, which our server said is the dish they are best known for Dessert! We saw a strawberry cheesecake go by & an impressive chocolate cake. Both looked worth it! We had a deliciously lemony Torte della Nonna. Super good! This is a solid choice anytime you want casual, good food. And especially if you want a Beef on Weck & wings!

    Food was pretty good but a sandwich cost $10 with no fries or anything. Not sure if it's worth the price

    Is the outdoor patio still open for lunch and/or dinner? If so, do the heaters and fireplace hold up to our Buffalo winters?

    No patio at this time. We closed it this fall but we do have our 2 large dining rooms with tables spread 6ft apart!

    Walking around downtown Lancaster, I saw plenty of places to grab dinner. Running a search on my…read moreYelp app for best restaurant for dinner, Skoob's Village Grille popped up and all-in-all, it was a good experience. I walked in around 7:20pm on a Wednesday night to a busy restaurant and bar. I had no issues with parking as I used one of the public parking lots near downtown and took a short walk over, but if tried to find a parking spot on the street, that would've been pretty difficult. I did see the parking lot for a, now closed for good, Rite Aid that had a few cars and some open spaces, so that seems to be an option as well. Upon walking in there was a host station, which said to wait for the host to seat you. Past the host station, there is a good-size bar and several high-top tables and chairs, a separate dining room with plenty of tables and chairs for families/larger groups, as well as an outdoor patio with more high tables and chairs. Plenty of TVs were hung up around the bar/restaurant and classic rock was playing over the speakers, but it wasn't too loud, you could carry a conversation with relative ease. The hostess was going to seat me but then a random couple came, ignoring the sign, and took it that table... The hostess managed to find me another high-top table by their outdoor patio entrance. After I was seated, I was forgotten about for nearly 15 minutes. I was about ready to get up and leave when one of the waitresses going in/out of the patio stopped by and asked if anyone was taking care of me. She apologized and immediately took my drink order. Once I got my drink, I was about ready to order dinner but was undecided, so I asked her what's the more popular item and went with it. The wait for my dinner was a bit long, nearly 40 minutes passed by the time my dinner was brought out - At this point, it was after 8pm. For dinner, I ordered their Chicken Finger Sub, with the fingers sauced in their "Jessie's Everything" specialty sauce (a small upcharge) and topped with bleu cheese served with a side of fries. The chicken finger sub was excellent! The chicken tenders were fried perfectly and there was the right amount of lettuce, tomato, red onion. The "Jessie's Everything" sauce was great - It wasn't too spicy-hot, the sauce reminded me of a banana pepper. The Constanzo roll with the tomatoes on the bottom did make this sub a little hard to eat as the filling kept sliding around and falling out the sides, but it was worth the mess! The fries were fine, nothing special. Looking over my bill, I thought the price for my dinner was reasonable for the quality and quantity I received. Skoob's Village Grille nails the vibe of being the bar in a small town where everyone goes to for a drink, classic bar food, and to relax with friends. If I have one nitpick, I think the service times need to be looked at and improved. But even with that nitpick, I'd come back and try one of their burgers or an order of chicken wings with one of their specialty sauces!

    First time here and just moved recently to the village. Brooke was amazing!!! Super attentive,…read morequick, and made sure I had everything before I even had to ask. She recommended multiple things but I ultimately decided on the Royal Sub and it was hands down the best I've ever had. Service and food were both top tier. I'll definitely be back.

    When you drive by, if this place doesn't immediately spark your curiosity I'd be surprised…read more.. listen, stop and go inside! I really like this diner. It's got a vibrant rustic-can, loud but comfy feel to it. The place looks cool inside and out, you just know this greasy spoon is going to have good food and it doesn't fail to provide it either! You can order anything and leave happy (from the apple pie to the pig, beef and chicken sandwich). They have booth seating, counter seating for one (or two) and offer outdoor seating with a little picnic table, shaded area and they also accept cash/credit. On the menu, there's pig, beef and chicken items, even a fish fry. They're great for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with or without friends/family. Known for their BBQ, in a variety of flavors, it's simply finger-licking delicious! I like coming here for breakfast mostly, love me some good home fries and a juicy steak. Portions are large and filling. I've also ordered take-out and picked up my order, the staff is super friendly and there's such an upbeat vibe to the place.

    Phenomenal food and prices!…read more I got a double bacon burger topped with onion rings, pulled chicken, and brisket that was HUGE! I had to hunch over to take a bit so I didn't get it all over me... great flavor and very delicious. It was a crazy order for me bec I usually keep it simple but this was calling my name. My server was great. She was super attentive and made sure my cup was never out of water. (I usually drink water when dining out) The place is def little so it gets packed quick. A couple booths and a couple tables. Maybe 10 total. Parking can be very tight in front so go to the back or side. I'll be back to try other things.
