Carry out only at the back entrance into City Hall. Excellent flavor. Portion exceed expectations based on pricing.

Chicken Shawarma
Esh W.

We ordered lunch from here and the general consensus is we won't be doing that again. First, the name NY Deli is deceiving. You cannot consider yourself a NY Deli if you don't even offer an assorted sub. Second, NY dell's offer a lot of meat, they definitely don't. Third, we each got different items and all of our food was very bland. The ham and cheese melt was a basic hot ham and cheese sandwich. The chicken shawarma was not a shawarma at all. It was frozen grilled chicken strips wrapped with lettuce and tomatoes. The salad was a decent size, and it's really hard to screw up a salad, but they barely give you enough dressing. I'm glad my first time trying this was for free because I would have been truly disappointed if I spent my money.

Reuben. Not studdard.

This place recently changed its name. The owner originally owned Katz in NYC, and someone got injured eating a sandwich, and filed a lawsuit. The owner said 'nobody Sues MY Deli" and immediately closed up shop and moved to Buffalo. Then as a nod to their last words as owner of Katz, they opened this deli under the moniker "Sues MY Deli." It was all going swimmingly, until someone filed a trademark infringement lawsuit. Apparently there is already a Sues MY Deli. In New Delhi. So they changed one letter, and now all is well. What to get: Reuben. This came highly recommended by the three Alexs (yes the two Alexs just had a baby Alex. Don't ask me how. I guess they took their lead from Arnold in that movie. Not the "it's not a tumour" movie. The other one.)... and so I gave it a try. The Reuben was exceptional. I could eat this all day. And given that I am a very slow eater, I probably did eat this all day. Nom. (waits 20 mins). Nom. (waits 20 mins). Nom. It's my fave Reuben in town, easily, even above all the other awesome sandwich shops. Try it. Even Alex K loves it. It's juicy and fantastic and was definitely the best thing I tried here. They do close very early (2.30 but often earlier) and so you should get here early if you want to try it. I went there once at 2.15 and another time at 2.20-something, and both times they were surprisingly already closed. And remember. Nobody Sues MY Deli.

Great place for counter service to grab a bite to eat. They've got a good selection and their Reuben sandwich is excellent. Prices are reasonable and there is a small sit down area where you can eat or you can get it to go. This is a favorite work lunch spot for me given the combination of quality, speed, and price.

Y u m  Tasty soup!

So many choices, great specials! Made the walk down from Buffalo General Hospital, almost a mile but it beats the hospital cafeteria. I walked in about 10:30 AM and not all the lunch options were available but I was able to get there roast beef special with a salad. The roast beef was on nicely toasted Costanzo roll with Horseradish cream sauce and a side of chips and pickle. For a side I wanted one of their specialty salads but they were not available so I went with the cream of broccoli soup. Quick service, love the fact they have water out near the napkins and utensils. I wished I worked closer this would be a weekly stop!

Food- LOVED EVERYTHING WE ORDERED!! wings, tacos, mac n cheese, empanadas and watermelon juice…read more Very expensive though.. Service- very friendly staff. Ambiance- small inside maybe 4 tables but has a covered outdoor area. Only couple parking spots but parked next door at family dollar.

First time here as we drove through this town and wife's AI search of vegan and gluten free led us here. Upon some studying of the menu wife and I ordered up a storm and the cashier helped us order accordingly to get all the foods we wanted at a lower price point than ordering individually! This man got our back! The food is nothing short of amazing. My chicken and waffle made with oyster mushroom was perfection! Batter was thick but soft. Crunchy yet juicy. Fried but not oily. This dish is a walking contradiction but they walked this fine line and blew this dish out the water! Best chicken and waffles hands down. The drumsticks were the classic with sweet and tangy BBQ sauce with paper thin skin and fibrous underneath. At the end, there's a sugar cane for bone to chew out the sweet "marrow". Highly recommend. My wife loves nachos and theirs were a big hit with impossible meat. I was unfortunate not to have been able to sample it. Jalapeño cornbread? Yes please! I believe it's gluten free and it's just a hint of spicy that builds as you eat more and more of it! H bomb burrito was tasty as well but I did not eat it fresh to do it justice. The dragon fruit lemonade was also refreshing and a fan favorite with the kids. On top of a fantastic meal, the owner and staff were just so welcoming. We chatted a bit and found out they opened on March 8th 2020!! Be survive the pandemic and speaks to how good the food is to have the staying power through thick and thin! Support local business and wishing them the best of luck to all future ventures!

But tonight, tonight our first choice was closed and our second choice had an hour wait so we did a Yelp search not quite remembering that Ballyhoo was this location that I had passed over and over again. Walk in and you feel Buffalo... the waterfront dockside factory Buffalo and it's a great feeling. This ain't a wear your party dress to kind of bar but you just feel that you are going to enjoy yourself as you sit down at the bar or at the limited seating high tops or along the window side counter seats. An amazing awesome bartender who is playing a fantastic playlist of tunes you settle yourself into a place of comfort looking out at the perfectly framed General Mills plant that is busily filling Buffalo's breathable air with that comforting aroma of Cheerios! Young lady from behind the bar shares a menu and a check list of food ... sausage sandwiches ... soup ... and a few other items. Frankly you won't need more because the food is damn good ... the deep soul vitalization will start to work on you and you'll just want to stay. Get to chatting with the friendly bar keep ... always a good sign ... that music is good and your food arrives one steak and one chicken sausage sandwich both covered in yummy toppings ... chips on the side ... we indulged in LOTS OF PICKLES and based on the recommendation both ordered the black bean "chowder." Sausages were both delicious... the black bean concoction was one of those thick oh so good experiences and the pickles were special (There were lots and we brought them home.). Definitely a place to return to ... that superb barkeep makes apparently every cocktail ever created ... but a nostalgic Buffalo feel ... wondering who sat here through the years. They apparently are packed on Sabres home game nights but do what we did ... choose a slow moving weekday evening when you can watch the sunset formulate through the frame of Ballyhoos window ... watch your steps going home ...

The pickles are top notch. Also this fernet drink was…read morestellar. Always enjoy coming here when I'm in Buffalo.

The only glaring issue was that most items that came out did not seem to be particularly hot. It was busy for the holiday so can't be too mad about. Bread and oil was standard. Meatball was great. i loved the risotta bites sauce - very peppery. Bisque was fine - the croutons were excellent, just needed it warmer. Chicken parm was large portion (this came out hot).

We've gone here a few times over the last few months, our notes:…read more -The orechiette is the best thing I've tried on the menu -Next to the chicken Milanese - so so good -The meatballs were WAY too spicy for me? Idk if it was just a one day thing because I have never had experienced that before?

My wife and I ordered spaghetti and meatballs and shrimp risotto on a Friday night…read more There is ample off street parking. The restaurant has a very generic modern bar scene vibe with roll up doors and the bar dominating the space. The staff were friendly and promptly directed me to the bar for my take out order, which was mildly delayed. The spaghetti and meatballs were basic. The sauce left much to be desired and a basic jarred sauce is more enjoyable. The shrimp were properly cooked, but the risotto did not shine. The dish lack cohesion and it was as though they cooked rice and tossed it in a flavorless sauce. The accompanying lobster sauce was desperately needed, but underdeveloped. The dish needed significant seasoning improvements.
