I believe this place has some of the tastiest chicken fingers in all of WNY! NOTE: This place is cash only!! They do have an ATM inside. Now, this place is not much to look at but the food, specifically their chicken fingers and chicken wings, are phenomenal! As for the location, there is plenty of parking in an empty lot next door. The inside is a "hole in the wall" bar that is not too big but fits the bill for a small town. They have a few TVs playing behind the bar and there is a pool table and a jukebox as you walk in off Main St. There are a couple booths and a few tables to sit at if you decide you want to get the full experience. The family ordered ahead for pickup: 10 mild chicken wings, an order of BBQ chicken fingers (four to five chicken fingers), and three orders of medium-style chicken fingers (about 12-13 chicken fingers). The food came out precisely when they said it would, so not much waiting at all when I got there to pick them up. The chicken fingers themselves are not the biggest I have ever seen, but the quality of the chicken and the sauce is top notch! The sauce has a little tang/kick to it but is not overpowering in heat. The chicken fingers themselves taste fantastic with just the right amount of breading on them and go down so easily. I have a pretty good appetite so I can eat about eight chicken fingers and would be full. Each order comes with sides of ranch and blue cheese (although I only noticed ranch with th order of medium-style chicken fingers...). As a side note, I did try their chicken wings for the first time and was very impressed with how good they were! They have a unique breading/feel to them and they have a TON of meat on each wing. Pony's has turned into an institution around Orleans county when you want something other than pizza. I look forward to grabbing more chicken fingers here and maybe change things up and get an order of chicken wings next time! read more

Everything was great until the next morning when I went to retrieve my hat that I mistakenly left on the bar. I went back the very next morning as soon as they open. They claimed they didn't see it, meanwhile the cook is wearing the same exact hat. I realize there's a chance it wasn't mine but seems like the odds would be slim on that one. At the end of the day its my fault for leaving it there. And it is just a hat. I spent $250 on drinks and food while I was there. Im sure I can afford a new one. Its the point and the weird coincidence that left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

Holy cow!!! We decided to order our from here on a whim because I was getting my hair done. I had the breaded chicken fingers. They were some of the best chicken fingers I have ever had. I ended up getting sauce on the side which I'm glad I did because I wasn't a fan of the mild sauce. It was a little too sweet for me. My parents got the chicken wings which they liked but the next day they aren't as good even if reheated in the oven. I would definitely come here again!! read more

Best wings I ever had. I live 40 minutes away. Wish there was more flavors and accepts card but I can't complain at all

This place was AMAZING... was being the key word. I don't know what's happened, but the quality, flavor and portion size have all taken a hit. If I had to guess it was about 5 years ago that I noticed a drop, we stopped going for a while because of the negative changes. Went back today and it was worse. Is the food okay? Sure, I don't dread it. Is the sauce less flavorful and less thick? Yes. Are the portions as good? No. Do they always seem to be short a staff member? Yes. Is it worth the price or hype? Not anymore. I don't think I'll be back unless someone asks me to go. It's a shame because it used to be so awesome... Fries are still among my favorites. read more

I took my husband and son here on Father's Day. I've heard a lot of talk about their chicken fingers, so we wanted to try them. We ordered their family bundle. It was more than enough food for the 3 of us, and we took togo boxes home. The bartender was also our waitress. She was very welcoming and friendly. I liked the vibe here. I would like to visit again to try their breaded wings and a cocktail. read more

My wife and I ordered a Cheeseburger and wings. Great tasting food. Business was very clean. Staff is very friendly. Easy access for anyone with mobility issues. We'll definitely return to Pony's! read more

I have loved Pony's for years. I have known it as Ed's. It has been a tradition that following apple picking, we go get food at Pony's. Well, this past experience was less than stellar. Our entire party was very disappointed in the quality of the product. Also, they don't follow wearing masks. I wanted to leave when I noticed this, but the people I were with are okay with this, we obviously don't share the same political views, but I can't not talk to them because they are my family and I love them, and they were my ride. So we stayed. The bartender/server was technically wearing a mask, just around her neck. One bartender was wearing his mask religiously. I wish he was our server. Our table of four ordered 30 wings, a single order of chicken fingers, an order of pizza logs, and an order of fries, along with a water, Pepsi, and two Jameson and gingers. The food came out surprisingly quickly. In previous years, it always took some time. I was a little suspicious when this happened. The wings' sauce was delicious and consistent with prior years, however, the quality of the chicken wings wasn't there and the wings could have been left in the fryer a little longer. The pizza logs were standard, the fries were fantastic. My cousin who had the fingers said they were good. If I did go back, I'd order the chicken fingers with their sauce, but I don't think I'll ever be returning again. We will have to find a different place to start a new tradition after apple picking next season. read more

Pony's is obviously KNOWN for their fingers/wings/sauce. It's unfortunate that they changed their fingers and fries. Definitely not nearly as good as they used to be. The sauce also seems different compared to a decade+ ago. They used to drench the bottom of the box with extra sauce too. Not anymore. Nothing amazing. Not bad but also not out of this world. Service is good. Good vibe inside. read more

A small town bar to stop in and grab a bite to eat, or have drinks with friends. A friendly spot that was quite lively on a Friday night- nothing was overly great but not bad either. Drinks were fine, and food was good. I felt bad for the bar tender as she was holding down the entire place solo on a busy Friday night- through no fault of her own our service wasn't great as it took awhile for her to get to tables, understandably however due to the other 30+ customers she was serving. read more

waited an hour for two orders of fingers that were the wrong flavors and one order of fries That we watched the waitress write down but somehow forgot. several people who came in after us got there food before us. I am a repeat customer that will never be coming back. read more

They have cameras everywhere and can hear everything you say at all times. EVERYWHERE!!! The owner called my husband while he was sitting at the bar and she told him she didn't like what she was hearing him say and told him to leave her bar. This place is watching and hearing all that everyone says. It's not right. read more

Unbelievable wait time and there was barely any people last night around 9. The slowest service . The tenders i had were not cooked corrextly even though the outside was burnt . Oil Tasted nasty . My wife said there were dirty pads and tampins on the floor in the womans bathroom . I come here at least once a month and last nights service was awful. Next time i am going to darrells . Bring back mr eds ! read more

The updates made to front and inside look great but the service and ambiance was disappointing. The manager (larger dark haired lady) could not be bothered from her conversations with other patrons to see there were several people waiting on her for drinks, food and service. One guy literally moved into every peripheral he could to get her attention and she still kept yapping. Throughout the night this happened multiple times. Meanwhile, another server showed up (Sara) who worked 100 times harder and faster than the other lady. She basically did all the other ladies work. It was a busy Friday night - the manager should recognize that is not a time to stop and chit chat with people for 10-15 min at a time while your coworker is busting her ass. We had empty glasses several times while we were there. Pony's lost $$$ by having that manager working a busy night. Get rid of her. And move the dart board. You can't have people throwing projectiles with tables literally right next to 'em. read more

It was really good and it was nice place to hang out with friends. The food was amazing

It's a dive bar and might not look like much, but they have by far my favorite chicken fingers that I've had anywhere in WNY. The sauce they use is so good and I've never once had any problems with an order. My brother and a couple cousins of ours usually hang out once a month or so and we always make a run to Pony's to pick up food. read more

This place is a small dive bar but don't let that fool you! They have some of the best unique wings and fingers out there. The menu is small but go straight for the wings or fingers. The "special sauce" you can get it hot, medium, or mild. The hot has a kick of spicy but finishes with a sweetness. The sauce is addicting and the coating on the wings and fingers is unique and makes them that more delicious. The fries are a must have as well they are hot, crispy and seasoned to perfection. The staff was wonderful and didn't take long for the food to come out. If by looks you are passing this place by you are making a huge mistake! Stop in and have your taste buds exploding with the special sauce. read more

Every time I order I ask them to make the fingers saucy. Please put extra sauce on them. Every time I only leave with disappointment. I don't get it. If I have them and someone else order them they're always saucy and delicious. Is it me Pony's? What's up with that? I'm willing to pay an up charge can you just make them how I order them?? read more

After multiple recommendations from friends for years, I finally decided to give this place a try. I took a friend from out of town over, and we loved the wings! The ambiance was good, the service was decent, and so were the prices and location. You can't go wrong with this place. I am going to start coming here more often! read more

Bartender was awful clueless and had no customer service skills we waited forever to even be greeted our food was wrong and we were waiting 55 minutes for our order and it was sitting on the Counter for 25 minutes Then when we asked The bartender how much longer with our food be she completely ignored us got our food on the counter and cashed us out. If she doesn't know how to deal with customers she shouldn't be a bartender. We went in on October 2nd around 7 pm & we won't ever be back . read more

Extremely disappointed. We ordered fingers and fries and asked for the extra mild sauce and said we want the fingers drenched in the sauce. The fingers were horribly dry had almost sauce on them. This isn't the first time we have had an issue with them since the new owners took over. This used to be our favorite place to come now my family and i will no longer be costumers at this establishment. If i could give no stars i would. read more

Went to pick up wings last night and it'll be the last time I ever order from there. We go back time and time again thinking it'll be amazing, but, it's just gotten so sub-par, and last night was just the last straw. I live in Newfane, so it's a 25 minute ride each way for me. I call to place my order, the young lady on the other end of the phone is less than warm & welcoming to my order, and seemed almost irritated that I wanted two different sauces. She tells me it'll be 30 minutes for 30 wings, half hot, half mild. Ok, great. I drive to Middleport, spend my $40 on 30 wings. Drive home. I get home, open my boxes and I'm staring at dry, cold, chicken fingers. Called to let them know my order was wrong, and got "sorry about your luck, you should have checked them while you were here." I understand that, yes, I should have checked my order. At the same time, I shouldn't need to check my order. We tried to eat the fingers anyway because we were both starving, my husband said his were great (though I think he was being kind) and mine were just cold, dry and flavorless. So bummed with how much this place has gone down hill. read more

Service is horrible. Sat at a table we bussed ourselves with dirty dishes and waited another 25 minutes to be acknowledged after asking.

Best wings in WNY! Growing up this was always my go to spot. Biggest complaint now is the new owners seem to slowly be letting it go down hill just to cater to out of towners read more

The wings here are amazing, they are different, more breaded and sweet but so good! It's worth the drive to give a try. It's a small little bar, very small town vibe to it. read more

So I have been eating Pony's chicken fingers when this place was called Mr.Ed's, a VERY long time a go. The chicken fingers are a 5 star. They have a sticky sweet heat. Nothing like anywhere else I have ever had. Just delicious. The prices, not bad either. The place itself is your typical dive bar, not filthy but not amazingly clean either. The reason I took away 2 stars is because the staff/ bartenders are always miserable. Never friendly, never smile, if you hate your job, just quit! Anyway... This will not stop me from eating my favorite chicken fingers, but just puts a damper on my good chicken finger mood! read more

First and foremost, I will admit that this review may seem a bit biased. Why? Allow me to explain. I absolutely love chicken wings. Can't get enough of them. However, I prefer my wings to be BREADED, which is a rarity (and downright blasphemous depending on where you go) in the WNY-area. When Hooters on Maple Road closed, I was heartbroken, as breaded wings were standard for them, you had to make a special request for them to be "naked," (the wings, not the waitresses). So imagine the absolute delight and glee I experienced when walking into Pony's for the first time ever (about two years back, been back several times since). This place is a definite dive, through and through: bar and billiards up front, cheap tables and restrooms in the rear. But I'm not hear to talk about the ambience-- I'm here to talk about the food. Their chicken wings come in a spicy (yet sweet) hot/medium/mild sauce, which is delicious. The breading is plentiful and crispy. Pony's has found that perfect balance between batter and meat--neither overpowers the other. I could go on for hours about how good they are so I'll be concise: they are absolutely addictive (as pointed out in an earlier review). Prices are cheap and beer is your standard domestic variety. Pony's is located out past Lockport, but it's definitely worth the drive, especially if you prefer your wings breaded over naked. read more

If for some reason you find yourself out in the middle of no-where Middleport, or in the mood for a country drive, do yourself a favor, stop here and order some wings. It's basically a little dive bar but their wings are coated in some kind of batter and are simply amazing. read more

Okay, I give Pony's two stars because I think one star should be reserved for people who are dishonest and or rude. I have to say the waitress at Pony's was neither she was actually very nice. Still Pony's has to be one of the worst dinning experiences in my life. Let's start with the fact that the dinning room was filthy. The layer of dust on the lamp over our table was so heavy that anytime someone would open the front door lint would fly off the lamp and float down into the food. It makes me wonder how clean the kitchen was. The menu is extremely limited you can get wings boneless chicken and a couple other very basic items. One thing was very clear. There was not a vegetable with in five hundred yards. If you wanted onion and tomato on your hamburger you would have been SOL I am sure. We ordered the chicken wings and a side of pizza logs. The pizza logs were brought in frozen and had been around for a while because they had freezer burn. The wings are clearly the house specialty. One of the other reviewers could not figure out what the sauce was. I think it was pork lard, butter, sugar and canned sweet and sour sauce. I thought they were terrible but I have to admit the place was packed (read slow service) and they were all getting wings. I don't get it. I guess when you are literally the only open restaurant in town you can get away with anything. So okay the food is not good but usually a few drinks saves the evening. My bottled beer was fine but my wife ( not a beer drinker) wanted wine. They had three, red, white, and pink... all from a box and all warm. Rose ordered the white. The waitress asked her if she wanted ice which means they know it should be served cold. So how hard would it be to put the box in the beer cooler? The next time I am in Middleport I will eat on my boat. read more

The chicken fingers are crispy and the sauce is sweet & spicy. Not your typical Buffalo style sauce but still delicious.

Ok, this is not fine dinning and though there are other things on the menu the only two things you should order here are chicken fingers or chicken wings. Yes, the place needs a good cleaning, yes there are some scary looking regulars hanging out at the bar or outside smoking. Yes, the bartenders/waitress are all not the friendliest. Nope, no fancy wine list. Irish Pub... No Corned Beef. Yes, you will wait for your food. Yup, no itemized bill. With all that being said, you still NEED to go here and try the wings or fingers. There sauce is awesome. Another reviewer mentioned sweet and sour sauce... They must not be from WNY. Come on people, well know there is Butter, Frank's hot sauce and then a secret ingredient or ingredients that give it a hint of sweetness... Heard a rumor it was grape jelly. You will meet a lot of great people here, and after visiting the bartenders warm up to you greatly. The food is wings are worth it. Fingers(as us wnyers call them, not tenders) big huge, served with thick yummy blue cheese! read more

Ponys, (formerly Mr. Eds), has possibly the best chicken wings in all the land. Not much else on the menu but that's all anybody ever comes in for. A slightly sweet glaze in addition to whatever heat you want, hot, medium or mild. Great beer selection also. This is a place you absolutely need to go to if you're close. read more

Very Rude to new costomers. My boyfriend and I live in Lockport. We wanted to try something new so we drove to Middleport and found a Bar and Grill we thought looked fun. When we got to the bar we stepped up to the bar ordered a blue light draft and a rum and diet from the bartender. She walked away and said something. I couldn't hear her over the bar noise. After a minute or two she walked passed us again. I caught her eye. She said "I need to see ID". I joked that we must look good today (we are both in our 30's), started to take out my ID and repeated our order. We put our ID's on the bar assuming she would be making our drinks for us and checking our ID. After a few more minutes she walked passed us with dirty dishes from other customers. At this point we had started to feel like the bartender didn't want to serve us so we decided to take our business somewhere else. read more

You need to update your menu photos . Your prices have increased for the chicken fingers $7.50. That's insane! The o my reason I bought them is cause it was for a surprise . I won't be back if you continue those prices read more
