I hope everyone gets to sit in Drew's section because he was a great server! Just a beautiful soul! My food was delicious as I got two 3 meat platters in order to try all the meat options. Brisket was tender and had an amazing outside bark. Ribs were delicious. Chicken was seasoned beautifully. Kielbasa was awesome. Pulled chicken was alright. Mac n cheese was good, not great, but good. Cinnamon apples tasted like pie! Cornbread was great especially with the maple butter! The baked sweet potatoe was to die for! The smashed potatoes were good too. My server, Drew, was amazing. Very attentive and very well mannered. His mama raised that boy right! Gave us options and checked on us throughout our meal.

The wings were huge and perfectly smoked. There were 3 bbq sauce choices on the table. Their signature flavor was my favorite. The ribs were also large and good. The mac and cheese was the worst part of our dinner. It was very flavorless and like clay. We did order the baked sweet potato and it had some good maple butter on it. The side was a half of the potato, but it was fine for two people. We did order some cornbread with the maple butter not knowing they give you some cheddar biscuits for free. The cornbread was amazing. It was a bit overcooked but when cooked right it would be the best around. The bonus of the meal was the free cheddar biscuits. They were just like the red lobster ones. Served hot and an extra hint of garlic, it was chefs kiss! Overall, cool place, Nice atmosphere, great service, full bar and tons of choices on the menu. Great visit!

The roasted beef was dry and lacking in flavor while the buns have salt and caraway seeds that made the entire sandwich way too salty. The caraway seeds also gives it a strong flavor. The highlight for me was the fries and gravy. Fries were original but I did like their gravy that was not too salty and leans on the savory side rather than sweet. The wait time was about 40 minutes so they have a lot of people getting takeouts. If u do come back next time, it would be to try some of their other items that might be more popular.

(The peanut butter pie, and carrot cake are straight up FIRE) Service is professional, warm, friendly and more importantly, QUICK. The ticket times from order to heal tend to be VERY brief. Moreover, this restaurant is VERY family friendly, has a warm, modern and welcoming vibe and low sticker shock prices that make a visit budget friendly. It's one of our family go-to restaurants in the Batavia area that has never once disappointed us when we visit.

My sister and I took our mom out to dinner and picked this spot since it's closer to her than us…read more None of us had been before, so we were going in blind. When we walked in, another customer was raving about the food and telling us how much we'd enjoy it, which honestly made me feel a lot better about trying somewhere new in an unfamiliar area. The vibe is like a bar turned restaurant, dark and a little moody but not off-putting. My mom even got a cutesy leprechaun margarita, which made her smile. We started with 10 mild wings for the table, my sister got a Caesar salad and said the dressing tasted homemade, and this is where I tried French onion soup for the first time. It was okay, just really salty. My mom ended up finishing it, but I did like that the cheese layer wasn't too heavy. I'm still on the hunt for a French onion that really does it for me. I didn't get pictures of the mains, but my mom and I both got steak, I had mashed potatoes and she got a baked potato. My sister got the fettuccine alfredo and marveled at the flavor. She kept saying you can tell it's a local spot and not a chain just by the care put into it. My steak was good, nothing crazy but you really can't go wrong. The mashed potatoes were a little bland but still edible. My mom loved her meal and finished everything, while my sister and I both had leftovers. The only downside was the service. Our waitress wasn't very friendly, kind of impatient and a little passive aggressive, like we were bothering her just by being there. Given the lack of diversity in the area, it didn't completely surprise me, but it was still noticeable. We didn't let it ruin the night though. Overall we still enjoyed it and I'd go back if I'm ever in Batavia again. Reasonable prices, solid food. Taking everything into account, I'd give it a 6.9/10.

Oh how the mighty have fallen! I remember when this restaurant was opened by "Alex" and it was…read morefantastic. I knew Alex by mutual acquaintance and growing up in the same small town. He was a professional restaurateur who was paid to sit with celebrities at the posh places he worked in South Florida in the 70s. Whatever else is said, the man had high standards in food and dining experience. When he opened, and for years after the place was always packed and very popular. The food was high quality and your meal came with 2 sides, salad, hot bread and nice presentation at a reasonable price. Alex left the business several years ago and the current owner has run it for some time. Today was my first time back in several years. The outside looks dated and needs a refresh. I almost thought it was closed. It was 2:30pm on Saturday before Mother's Day and almost empty. I don't recall it ever not being full of people waiting at the bar for a table. Until today. The decor is ok although I don't care for the fringe lamps directly over your head. I was going to get ribs but decided on 10 oz prime rib ($32.00) comes with 1 side (I chose baked potato - only sour cream and butter is offered). No salad unless you pay extra! The warm bread was fine with two kinds of butter. My companion had the Kids spaghetti $(8.99). My prime rib came out and it looked about half the normal thickness it should be and in a puddle of juice. Even the server commented about why the kitchen did that. And it was warm, at best. No horseradish or other condiments were offered. No garnish on the plate. Just a thin slab of meat. The juice should have been in a separate cup. But the small baked potato was steaming hot! My companion had a giant pile of spaghetti with about a 1/4 cup of sauce on top! Too little for the mound of spaghetti. And it looked like cheap jar sauce and no meatballs. She didn't mind but I wasn't thrilled. And her fountain drink did not come with the meal ($3.99)! I had a lavender lemon drop martini that was ok. ($10). Ultimately the food is mediocre and it feels like they are cutting corners to keep prices down. But that means it's no longer the special place it used to be. Sad.

I have eaten here several times in the past and ordered the exact same thing every time. I always order the Philli Cheese Steak Sandwich. This is the first time eating here since the new management took over. It appears that besides turning the hotel into a one star hotel, they have really messed up the food in this restaurants. If you look at my original photo of the sandwich, envision the sandwich with a reduction of the meat of about 40%, hardly any peppers abd onions and the cheese sauce is now like watery cheese soup and there is 50% less than it used to be. With the food and hotel are really bad now and the minimum bets on the penny machines jacked up to 80 cents from 40 cents, this is the last time I will ever go to Batavia Downs for the food, gaming or hotel.
