    Excellent local spot good for visiting, snowmobiling, bikers, major events like weddings. Rustic feel, wood. Service friendly. Food good, basic menu. Really cool in the winter, too.

    Located in the woods (literally) just above Findley Lake, Pine Junction was a mix of quaint and modern. The entrance for the restaurant takes you past the owners' house and private barn, then puts you in front of a very new and well kept restaurant. Inside the front door is a folksy vibe with a bakery and woodsy decor. With a tree (stump) inside the waiting room! The menu offered a surprising variety... but we barely made it past the appetizers since they all sounded so delicious! The spicy maple glaze on the Brussels sprouts took the medal for the best part of the meal! Unfortunately despite a long list of desserts, they sold out of the chocolate truffle cheesecake that we had wanted, so we left without a chance to try any of the other options. Great aesthetic and service with a good menu and decent flavor.

    First time stop for us. Short wait for a Friday night dinner. Hostess was super friendly and shared the special. Ordered cocktails off the menu insert, the sangria and dirty shirlee. Pretzels and funnel fries for appetizers. Beer cheese was top 5 I've ever had. Husband loved his funnel fries but didn't have an alternate dipping sauce. Accommodating to his cinnamon allergy. Entrees came out but food runner quickly ran away. Waited a good 5-8 minutes before a server came back and brought butter for my potatoes, steak sauce and bbq for husband. Steak was delish but would not get the baby bakers again. Husband's bourbon burger was good too and he loved his fries. Definitely will be returning!

    FOUND THE PLACE. LOL Friendly staff waitress was pleasant and knowledgeable on what was on menu. Cold beers and a craft on tap menu too long to list. Started with Michelob Ultra and deep fried pickles and they came piping hot and with marinara or ranch. Ordered the Bourbon Burger and fries. Also ordered Angus Burger and coleslaw. Came quick and hot and fresh and a very pleasant experience to eat . We will return just for the taste of the food alone but this place had something extra you don't see in just anyplace, it was truly a pleasure dining here. Great place to eat in my book. We enjoyed the atmosphere. Like they say, half the fun in eating here is finding it.

    Holy mother of, what did I just eat out in the middle of America? Visiting Western New York for a golf tournament and this place was recommended from many, many locals and other guests who have dined here. The location is definitely out there but easy to find off the road. The restaurant has plenty of parking and is cozy inside. They have a large bar and table seating inside and outside. The staff was very friendly, although service on this Wednesday was slow. I will not complain because the food was worth the wait. I ordered the Bangin' angus burger. 100% ground angus beef dripping with juices and simply seasoned with salt and pepper. It was topped with swiss cheese, grilled mushrooms and onions. They slapped a little A1 on it and boom, the juiciest most heavenly burger I have had. I was slow to eat it, savoring every bite no really just talking to much to my husband and son and the bread got soggy quick. So, i flipped that bad boy on its top and still ate it with a smile. I ordered the sweet potato fries on the side. They were cut perfectly, makes me think they have a slicing machine back there, ha, or someone with impeccable knife skills. Either way, perfectly fried and had the right bite of fluffy potato on the inside after the initial crunch on the outside. I am a sweet potato lover and this hit the mark. As we departed I noticed all the out of state plates in the parking lot on the cars here. I don't blame any of these people, as our car was among the out of state plates. I hope this review gets you to come. Well worth the rolling hills of a drive to get here.

    Need I say more? Ok, I will... absolutely delicious

    Pine Junction never disappoints! After a day of Christmas shopping with my best friend, Pam; we hit the Junction to find them PACKED however they never seem phased. Everyone was pleasant from the hostess, bartender and the wait staff. While some large groups had a wait for seating, we were given the option to either wait up front or we could grab a drink at the bar and hang outside by the fire pit; which is what we did. They had their holiday drink menu loaded with appropriately named beverages. Pam started with The Grinch while I had The Chocolate Moose Martini which was delicious! I had to try the Grinch as well and I couldn't pick a favorite between them. For appetizers Pam suggested the deep fried portabella mushrooms and they were great with or without ranch dip. I got the Cowboy Burger with sweet potato fries paired with their buttery cinnamon dipping sauce that is so addicting! I chose to save half for home, because I also wanted dessert; their Peanut Butter Moose Ball was epic! Pam had the Bourbon Burger with the same fries and she raved about her meal as well! He brother just got in town for Christmas and we all plan to go up there, we know he will LOVE it! Now, for anyone who isn't familiar with the area, you will think that you are driving to the middle of nowhere, however it isn't very far and when you get there you will get just how special and unique this place is. It's not just any restaurant, they also host concerts, weddings and other events. Remember this place, you will want it to be a regular stop; no matter if you are local, nearby or a once a year visitor.

    The Tap Room - best bar on main st. no doubt

    The Tap Room has long been a frequent stop of mine as it is one of the places where "everyone knows…read moremy name". I have not written a review for this eclectic, gem of a dive bar until now because I didn't want my review to be biased and based on the fact that I know the owners/operators and love them dearly. Things have changed for this watering hole recently, however, and it is worth writing about. The Tap Room has now incorporated food into their offerings to patrons beyond nuts, chips, and Tap Room Cheese & Crackers that are a staple at this joint. The grill is officially open and it is a must-try if you are in the area. The cook, Chad, is killing it. The burgers are phenomenal. Homemade patties with delicious seasonings done right. The options on the menu are packed with flavor and they have many to choose from. Be sure to try the TRB if you can handle the kick. My other half says it is one of the best burgers he has ever eaten, and he knows his burgers. The wings... they are served whole, as in not broken down into smaller pieces. By doing this, Chad preserves a lot of the natural juices and the end product is so tender you have to try them to understand. Order the "house" wings the first time you are there. They will blow you your mind. **UPDATE** The grill is no longer open at the Tap Room on a regular basis, but they still do food for special occasions (Bills games, Superbowl, etc.). If you are looking for a place to grab a quick libation on your travels, the full bar won't disappoint.

    Been there a couple of times over the past few years. Never a great experience. Seems like regulars…read moreare all important. Not crazy about service. Cool Buffalo Bills decor. Never felt like eating there as not well received in just having a beer.

    I'm so happy that we found this place! We stumbled upon it…read morewhile taking a weekend getaway trip with friends of ours. The House That Jack Built is truly a local gem. The bartender was super friendly and gave us some good tips on what to do locally. She also made us some "special shots" that we really loved. So much so that we ended up ordering a second round of them. She really knows how to pour a good drink. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner of the place, who was a very lovely woman. She told us a little bit about the history of the place and was very welcoming towards us. Her father was "Jack" from whom they got the name of the place from. We did also order some appetizers while we were there. I ordered the pizza log which was really good. It's comparable to an egg roll but with pizza inside. Delicious! My boyfriend ordered some fries and enjoyed them as well. Good food, good drinks and good company. We had a great time here and will definitely be back. If you get the chance to check this place out, go for it! You won't regret it.

    Great service, very friendly. We split the wings, done perfect and the Buffalo sauce was just…read moreright! I had the Steak Hoagie with fries. Huge portion, I'll be taking my leftovers for lunch tomorrow. My wife had the Ham and Cheese Hoagie, equally a large portion. Both were great. We'll definitely be back!
