    Wings
    Antoinina M.

    Tried some wings from Marvin's for the first time last night and they were awesome! We tried the medium and honey garlic, both were crispy and delicious. These are probably the best wings I've found in the Clarence/Williamsville/Amherst area. The ambiance is your typical dive bar. They have some TVs, a pool table, darts, a little outside patio. The bartender was super friendly. Saw a sign for live music once a week, and they also have fish fry's on Fridays. I'm sure I will be back!

    Cajun BBQ and Bonnie's
    Tony C.

    Fantastic. Came with son for wing night on Tuesday (.50 cents). Got 20 wings with 4 different sauces. Yes, you can get a new sauce every 5 wings!! Standouts were the Bonnie's (think honey mustard bbq) and Stan's (sweet hot sauce). Both were fantastic. The honey garlic were great too. Cajun bbq were decent but prob would go something different next time. All wings came out crispy and cooked perfect without asking. Service was fantastic. You can tell a lot of regulars come in, server knew all their orders right away. Place filled up quick so get there early!! My son liked his kids pizza and fries and commented how nice staff was. Will have to become one of the regulars now and plan on coming for wing night every week!

    Delicious Fish Fry!!!

    Marvin's has an Excellent Fish Fry. Everything a FF should be light and crispy with good sides. It's not the fanciest place but Who cares? It's all about the food anyways! You won't be disappointed!

    Parmesan Garlic are to die for!

    I am very particular about my wings, and after hearing great things from many people, I tried Marvin's, and I've been a fan and repeat customer ever since. Stopped in a few times for their dine-in 50 cent wing special, where I tried an array of flavors. They have so many options: cajun (a dry rub), kicking bourbon, thai chili, cajun bbq, honey garlic, garlic parmesan.... truly, the list goes on. I haven't found a flavor yet that disappointed. My personal favorite these days are the cajun and garlic parmesan. The cajun has the heat and smokiness that will have you licking your fingers, and the parmesan garlic is buttery with the garlic kick and just enough parmesan sprinkled on top. They also have a delicious roast beef sandwich that's tender and hearty, but I'm obsessed with the wings which have the perfect crisp and crunch. It's a casual place. The owner is the nicest and always so friendly and helpful. And they're still open for takeout amidst the Covid crisis, so you can call and order takeout. You head inside to pick it up and pay. Easy, simple process now that the diner etc is shut down for now. The best wings are the local small businesses over the chains, and this is proof.

    Garlic Parm , Cajun BBQ and more

    I had been planning to try this place for the longest. I knew Tuesday was a wing special day but it never panned out until recently. After picking up my son today, I decided we could go and check it out. Luckily I headed there with no actual plan and all worked out. I was actually unaware they weren't opening until 5, and I arrived at 4:55. As we walked in we happen to see the guy who we saw in the parking lot , he was behind the back room area and he came over to see if we needed anything. He immediately knew we were there for the wings and he assured us that we wouldn't be disappointed. He provided menu's and gave us his version of the flavors. He was very helpful with input on selections We ended up choosing cajun, garlic parmesan, marvin, cajun bbq, kick bourbon and a couple others. Oddly enough they were ALL delish. I couldn't really pick out a favorite... When I tell you the flavors they are using in these wings is phenomenal! If I would not have known they were all from the same place, I would swear someone picked up wings from various restaurants. To master flavors like that and they all taste so different is amazing to me. Most places have different kinds or levels, but they still taste the same in many ways ... not these. The Garlic Parmesan is a keeper you can taste the rich buttery flavor with the strong flavor of parmesan this was my son's favorite. The Cajun is like a dry rub coating after saucing. It has a nice kick, but not to heavy. The Cajun BBQ was delicious. A great combination of them both The kicking Bourbon has a strong presence of Bourbon with a thicker sauce coating Just to name a couple stand outs. It seems this place gets a lot of regulars because our friendly host was addressing people by name and seemed to know what people were gonna order. We chatted a bit with a couple who was there and they raved about the wings. ...he later made eye contact to see how we were doing. I couldn't wait to give him. Thumbs Up ! If you are ever in the area ...especially on a tuesday ...give them a try. ** This offer is for dine in only **

    Love the wings!

    Gerties - Salad with chicken cutlet

    A good friend had been recommending Gertie's for quite a while, so four of us happily made it there…read morefor a mid-week dinner out. The building is right in the heart of Clarence center, and fits into the surrounding vintage architecture. Interior is beautifully maintained and there is plenty of inside & outside dining. Menu is succinct but has good variety of beef, chicken, fish, & veggie options. I had the sea bass over risotto with coconut curry, which I luv'd. App menu was impressive, from which we got perfectly cooked pepper-crusted seared tuna and the yummy soup de jour. Entree prices are 'upscale' but they also have moderately priced creative burgers & personal pizzas. Service e was good.

    I don't know where to begin. We showed up for our 5 o'clock reservation restaurant was empty. It…read morewas a Tuesday night. We were asked if we wanted an inside or outside we chose inside. We sat down at our table. The owner came by said hello thanks for coming. That was nice. We told him it was our anniversary. He bought us a bottle of champagne, nice gesture thank you. After that, the waitress came up took our order. We ordered a bottle of wine. We ordered our entrées. She was very nice but new. She didn't know what the dinners came with, but that's all right. She's new. She brought out the bread. i'm not mistaken. It was a Constanzo sub roll heat it up. It's good, but really? she brought out our salads but only one because my entrée didn't get a salad, but she didn't know and I was under the impression all entrées get a salad so we started to eat and noticed we didn't have any napkins so I looked around. Nobody had napkins then looked outside. Everybody had cloth napkins on the table. She came back and gave us paper napkins, $48 entrée and we got paper napkins. She brought out her entrées. My wife's Seabass was actually good, but the side of carrot sticks were raw and the mashed potatoes was out of a box. The potatoes were larger than the entrée. My chicken Parm was deep-fried and well done as you can see in the picture. The sauce on the chicken parm was horrible. The penne pasta was cooked right but had that chunky sauce on it. We read all the reviews and they were not good. But we thought we'd give it a try anyways the owner said they've been open for six weeks and that's plenty of time to work out the bugs but unfortunately, we will never be going back. Please note that this review is for current owners not the previous owners. Not the same restaurant.
