I keep seeing Riley's pop up on Seize the Deal, so I grabbed another voucher since we're always next door at the rink for sports (and usually making a stop at BEB for scones). Not going to lie, it's nearly impossible to sit through a lacrosse game while smelling burgers from this place the entire time. We came by on a Sunday and took advantage of their kids' meal special: $5 including a drink, which is a really solid deal. We ordered burgers (split with my fellow burger lover) and chicken fingers for two of the kids, and the food definitely hit the spot after a long day when everyone was starving. The burgers were decent, though I would have loved slightly larger patties and a few more topping option. I'm all about an over-the-top handheld, so maybe that's just me. My only real disappointment was the fry portion size; I must have been spoiled on my first visit when my meal came with an overload of fries. One of my favorite features is the patio, especially during nicer weather. Service was good, and I appreciated the little outdoor station stocked with condiments and water, which was a thoughtful touch for patio diners. Overall, it's a convenient spot to grab a casual meal before or after games, especially if you're already at the rink. read more

First visit today. We frequent East Aurora often, not sure why we haven't stopped before. Glad we finally did. The food was great. We started with stuffed banana peppers. They had a nice kick. My husband had chicken parmesan and I had chicken piccata. Each came with soup or salad. Servings were generous. Personally though I would have preferred a couple smaller pieces of chicken which probably would have been more tender. Tara was our server. She was wonderful. She kept checking in and making sure we didn't need anything. I love seeing old buildings repurposed. read more

American restaurant with a full bar and a few apps, salads, burgers, handhelds, and entrees on the menu. The decor is train station themed, and prices are reasonable. We came during an off time on a Saturday, but service was kind of slow since they didn't have many people working. We sat inside but there was also outdoor seating and bar seating. I ordered the Borderland burger (special) which was absolutely delicious and came with fries. I likely would come back here if I'm in the area again. read more

Ok I can see on a Saturday 4:30 pm that they were busy but we did have a reservation. I can put up with orders taking a bit but when it arrives cold its unacceptable. My wife returned hers and it came back 15 minutes later barely warm. Mine was cold and I ate it anyway. Wont be back read more

I have eaten here many times. This time was terrible. My fries were cold. I told the waitress and she brought back hot pieces that were from the bottom of the basket. Way too greasy. The Rachel had slimy turkey and the cheese was not melted. The bread was hardly toasted. I didn't complain because I already complained about the fries and I didn't want to make my friend uncomfortable. I will not be back. Service was slow and not very attentive. read more

The Cobb salad was not good , it was on a bed of arugula lettuce, never have I had a Cobb salad with arugula should have stated that , no cheese as it was on the menu . Bacon and egg was all premade and packaged . They were out of kids burgers , last time they were out of sweet potato fries . And the kids pizza was burnt . read more

Went last night for a fish fry during Lent. Made a reservation for 7:30, but we didn't get seated until 8pm. We ordered the chicken wontons as an app. They were delicious! It took a long time for our fish fries to come out. I got the battered and my husband had the breaded. They were large pieces of fish, but didn't taste like much. The breading overpowered the fish. It was served with fries which were good and a small amount of macaroni salad. My husband upgraded to onion petals, but they were served cold. Our waitress didn't come over again after dropping off our meals so they went uneaten. We got a packet of butter, but no bread. They did end up removing one of our beverages and gave us 15% off for the wait. We might return for a drink, but I think we're done eating here. read more

We decided to check out this place while we were Christmas Shopping in East Aurora. The place was clean, organized, surprisingly empty, staff was attentive and efficient, and food was decent. My wife ordered a turkey sandwich, whereas I had the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. I liked the sauce used on my sandwich, though I wish it was a little more or there was some on the side, as the sandwich was a little dry. I was a huge fan of the fresh cut fries. Other than that, we both liked our meals. read more

We went to Riley Street Station on Thursday and were pleasantly surprised to find out it was half-price burger night. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience didn't live up to the deal. Our waitress was friendly, but she forgot one person's salad and another person's soup that were supposed to come with their dinners. The rest of us ordered burgers, and she asked each of us how we wanted them cooked. Every single burger came out well done, regardless of what we ordered. Also took her 5 minutes to bring out the food to the table. When we mentioned it, the explanation was that the kitchen had new cooks who "can't cook." That's an excuse I've heard too many times at restaurants. Training the kitchen is management's responsibility, not the customer's problem. We still paid for meals that weren't prepared as ordered. Overall, it felt disorganized, and the food and service didn't meet expectations. While the half-price burgers were a nice surprise, the overall experience was disappointing. I probably won't be back. read more

Went for early dinner, French onion soup was cold? Sent it back came out 10 minutes later just warm. Burger Thursday, burger was barely warm fries were cold. Been there a couple times with no issues ut probably won't be back. $55 for cold food... read more

Poor acoustics--very loud. Not particularly clean. Service was mediocre and the water glasses were too small. Ordered and chicken tender pizza, the blue cheese dominated the flavor profile. read more

For having all of 6 tables in the restaurant I would consider the food an embarrassment. Would be in top 3 of worst services I have experienced out to eat. Waitress did not stop to check how food was at all during meal. Burger wasn't the correct burger ordered, was suppose to have onion straws and BBQ. Appetizer came out cold after 35 minutes. Children's order was cold and fries also under cooked. Service was painfully slow for not being a busy time. read more

My turkey club wrap was good; the French fries, not so much. The club had all of the "regular" items in the wrap: turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, Jack cheese and mayo. The fries, on the other hand, seemed a bit old. They were nicely salted, but not crispy and were cut thin so cooled off very quickly. Sweet potato lattice fries could be ordered for an upcharge. A friend did; they were much more flavorful. Service was rather slow, but there was only one waitress working out on the patio. Our table was a party of 7. There was another table of 6 or 8 and a table of 2. I do not know if she was also covering tables inside too. read more

We went for lunch and decided to share a turkey club wrap. Turkey, bacon, cheddar cheese, some mayonnaise with lettuce, tomato and red onion, all rolled up in a flour tortilla. It was very good and very tasty. It comes with fries. You can upgrade to sweet potato fries ($2) Our fries were not so great. They were warm and nicely salted, but not very crispy. Because they were cut skinny, the fries cooled off fast read more

Cowboy burger was delicious and filling. Cooked just how I like it. The fries were good too. Service was a little slow but everyone was friendly. read more

Girlfriend and I met there for dinner on a Friday night. To our surprise there was live music at 6 PM which was perfect background music! I had an incredible burger and she had the beef on whack which was melt in your mouth to die for. Service was a little slow, but I think they were shorthanded. Definitely a cool place to hang out and good food. read more

My friends and I enjoy coming here, in our opinion they have the best French fries! My mom, my aunt and I came to try their fish fry's and we all said the same thing they weren't the best. Our waitress was great and we got there around one so they weren't busy which was nice. read more

Warmly greeted for lunch on a weekday; seated where we chose (the back room with all the windows, but out of the sun), and were promptly waited on. We never felt rushed, but were checked on an appropriate number of times during our lunch. Portobello on brioche bun was disappointing: lacked flavor. Companion's burger was good. The fries, on the other hand, were terrific! Each of us ate all of them, and I didn't add ketchup or anything: hot, salty, crispy, perfect. read more

cheeseburger was thin, more bread than the actual burger., no tomatoes, just chopped Romaine lettuce and 2 small pieces of onion. Fries were greasy over cooked and pieces. The pictures look better than the actual food read more

Had lunchtime reservations for a group of eleven. Tara was our attentive server. Sat down at 1 p.m. Took us all a bit to decide on our drink and food choices but within 30 minutes we were all enjoying our lunch. Burgers, salads, fried shrimp, turkey and corned beef Reuben's. All were pleased with their choices. Good size portions so many leftovers will be enjoyed later. Riley Street Station is a friendly, comfortable spot. Large parking lot. We will be back. read more

Best Ruben sandwich I've ever had. Loaded with everything and perfectly toasted bread. Also had wings, and they were delicious! Only $.75 a wing tonight. It's a special, not sure if it's Monday only? Cassandra our server was great! Friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Nice ambiance too. Full bar, dartboards and a jukebox too. 50 minute drive for me but I'll be back! read more

Currently sitting at the bar waiting for our food which they said would take an hour - thought we could watch the hockey game - six TV's in the bar -only is able to get the sabres game on. They say something about to many tvs beng spliced - which to me means they are trying to save money on their cable bill. it's a bar for God sake spend the money so customers can watch the Buffalo Sabres ! read more

Slow service. There were maybe 4 tables seated inside, lots outside but they were not understaffed. Incredibly slow. Good was good but took forever. read more

We celebrated a friend's birthday here last night. We were a table of 9. We sat outside on a gorgeous Summer evening. Our server Maggie was awesome. She was attentive, offered separate checks ( typically unheard of), and very pleasant. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who would like a delicious meal! read more

When my cousin comes in from out of town, she wants to meet her uncle (my father) and me for lunch. And if it's a Friday, a fish fry is a must, because that's one thing she misses about living in this part of the country. I suggested she check out Riley St. online, and it met with her approval. Our server Cassandra was great. Cuz was very happy with her beer-battered fish fry, as was I with my breaded one. Dad ordered seared scallops, and they were a sight to behold. They were HUGE. Served with salad, potato and vegetable, this wasn't your typical lunch fare. At 97, my father doesn't usually have much of an appetite, but he gobbled up every single bite of his meal. So a big thumbs up for the scallops. While making our exit, the bartender noticed Dad's slow progress with his walker and came out from behind the bar to offer assistance. An impressive showing of "above and beyond" that's all too rare these days. Bravo, kind sir. read more

I sat at the bar just to catch up with friends and ended up getting food. The food was bomb, especially the clams casino - so good! Wings were also very good. I'd go back for the food for sure. read more

We very much enjoyed our experience at Riley Street! Cassie - our server, was perfect! The dinner salad was the perfect blend of greens; dressing seemed homemade. Fresh baked buns. The Shrimp Pesto Linguine was packed with flavor, the shrimp perfectly cooked. The Ribeye had the perfect char, the shrimp butterflied and delicious! We will be back! read more

Update! Since our first we've returned another 5 times. We have met friends there so they were also introduced to the place. One of them praised the bartender for making " the best old fashioned he's ever had". We continue to enjoy the chicken picatta but have tried other dishes as well . I should warn you the Chicken Parm is great but HUGE! I think we took more home than many places serve you initially. No idea what's with the 1 star ratings? IMHO you can tell a lot by the attitude of the staff. Kelly was our server and very friendly and helpful. A new girl started her first day on St. Patrick's weekend which was quite busy. The owner; Anthony, took time a page from Ilio's and Russell's to stop by and check on us even though the place was packed. We will return. read more

I visited three times in the last 3 months. The first time had a reservation, waited 30 minutes for a table then gave up and left. Second time it was to early for a reservation, but was reassured over the phone that a wait for a table wouldn't be long, walked in saw 4 groups waiting for a table and decided not to wait. The third time we walked in at 10:30 PM on a Thursday plenty of room in the bar area accept the two tables and half the bar were full of dirty plates, glasses, ect. for a good 20 minutes. Our total time to get food ordered and brought to us about an hour and honestly the food wasn't very good. read more

We had a very good meal here - we have been previously but heard it closed during COVID so we were happy to see it had reopened since the space and ambiance is always welcoming and lovely. We had a great lunch (clams casino, French onion soup, fried shrimp and cowboy burger) and our waitress was very kind and accommodating. We will be back! read more

Total garbage... $20 dollars for an ammonia smelling soggy "fishfry" !!?? So because I was by myself they said I had to eat at the bar... I foolishly said ok ... the ufo beer was sour and bad like the taps have not been maintained.. just disgusting... the bartender offered no menu and said it's about 30 something dollars for the beer and the fishy ammonia smelling soggy fry ... foolishly I said ok ... Brings the nasty steamed or microwaved fish fry out and .. I have no silverware ... so he brings me a little 2.5 inch salad fork ... I thought I was in the twilight zone .... i only had 4 bites of the fish .. left 3/4's of it .. but on my way out I said to one of the waitresses in the dining area ..is this the normal fork ? She laughed and said no that's on of our salad forks ... I was ripped off .. $20 for the shittiest fish fry crappy sour dirty beer and a tiny fork to eat with ... I in my entire life have never been in such a dump .... did I want to complain and cause a stink ? Sure would it have been worth it ? No ... because everyone in there was complaining... read more

Such a perfect building with a history to have a bar and grill. The beer batter fish fry is one of the best I've had. The only place to serve sidewinder fries.

For us it was early and not busy so the server was pretty much amazing. read more
