They should have politely declined to serve us as there are fish frys everywhere... why make yourself miserable and a table Of 20 people with later plans take 2.5 hours for a fish fry? Just why? Service took over an hour. Requests weren't honored and when I said my food was cold she ignored. So much mayo... yuck. Asked to not get any... nope mayo all over... took over 90 minutes for us to get food..... we are now over two hours and waiting for bills.... If you walk in and it's busy.. walk out. Not worth any it.. we accidentally went to the wrong one first (wish we had stayed there) down by the lake. It was busy and lots of service. 1 waitress for all 15 tables and she was cooking part of the time.. ridiculous!!!! We were made up of 4 tables... Not service friendly at all...not again.

I called ............Tuesdays and Thursdays 55 cent wings. Can't go wrong. By far the best wings I have had in my life!!!!!!!! Very friendly and helpful staff. I ordered 12 wings and got 14. My husband ordered 12 and got 15! Now don't go running in there expecting to get more than you ordered just because I said so. I don't know if this is the norm or what. Cooked and sauced to perfection! Fries were huge and great! So 2 orders of 12 wings (plus 5) large fry and one diet coke came to $19.55. Wow! We have a huge container left for lunch tomorrow. This is my new place for wings! (and always for fish)

They were strict about start time being 6:00 p.m. the ticket line was big by5:50 when we arrived. There were a few big rides our kids we're too small for, including a sky high corn popper, ferris wheel, and ufo. Our kids liked the climbing maze, carousel, boats, and especially the giant pink slide. I appreciated that there was no charge for parents to accompany little ones on rides. This also means I got to ride the awesome Dizzy Dragons ride, which is similar to Disney world tea cups. Food was okay. Basic pizza at &3 per slice was fair. Treat prices were high to me, though. $5 cotton candy or $3 for 3 chocolate covered strawberries seemed like a lot. We headed out around 7:30 as rain started to sprinkle and big crowds of teenagers arrived. Overall, a nice time.

The staff was wonderful to talk to and they explained how the food reaches those in need. They give you instructions on how to help that day.

I've witnessed multiple people get turned away and not receive food although they can give boxes of non perishable food out at their own discretion. When perishable food is donated it usually sits on a shelf in the cool until it goes bad and then it's discarded.

Always park along the side streets or in the school parking lot. It's a walkable distance. If you have a mobility impairment, it might be hard to find a parking spot during peak times since a lot is going on in the village. Food tickets: 50¢ per food ticket and no item is over 12 tickets (so for $6 you can get a full portion of a burger or other entree). I brought $20 with me and was FULL. I had around 10 tickets left over which I passed along to a friend who was staying later. The burgers: I am SHOOK that people say they can't seem to find burgers at BurgerFest... there had to be around 15-17 different types and styles of burgers! From a burger taco to pierogi and grilled cheese - to ice cream sandwiches- lots of creativity along with the classic burgers. Entertainment: Terry Buckwald is always a crowd pleaser and kept our spirits high in the heat! Lots of fun with those we sat by! Oh- did I forget to mention that there is shade areas with tables and chairs??? They have a good amount of tents to cool off under and sit/eat food! Main Street has a lot of fun with their performers and car show! Will be back again next year!!!

I get to Judge with other Yelpers, unfortunately we don't get to try every single one (out of 23 Burgers that were at the Festival, I only had 6) I met with my other Yelp Judges (Perry, Josh & Matt) and we were off. We were only assigned to 3 Burger Stands (we had to rate them in between 1 & 5 to pick the best one. The burger we choose goes up against the burger the other Group chooses to win the award for Best Burger). 1st one was Big Belly BBQ we were to Judge the Sirloin Steak Burger with Mushrooms & Onions (I thought the Burger was perfectly Cooked, couple strips of Juicy Bacon but there were hardly any Mushrooms and way too many Caramelized Onions. I loved that they used Cheez Wiz, Perry, Josh & Matt all thought they should've used sliced Cheddar or Something. It was also very messy to eat. The Mac n Cheese they had was to die for Our next burger was from Soho Project (This stand was all about serving Vegan/Veggie Burgers, the patties were made from either Black Beans, Spinach, Beets or Spicy Mushrooms, No Meat in these Burgers). we chose the Black Bean Patties topped with Lettuce, Mango Salsa, Jalapenos, Guacamole and a homemade Sriracha Ketchup (This was our favorite burger, All the different colors it had made it look very appetizing to eat it was so Vibrant. You get Smokiness from the Black Beans, Sweetness from the Salsa, Crunch from the Lettuce and Spiciness from the Ketchup & the Jalapeno's, Smoothness from the Guacamole and the Multigrain Bun as the thing holding it all together. The patty was so soft it broke apart so easily. Out of the burgers we tried this was our favorite). Although I'm not a Vegetarian, this was amazing Burger. Lastly we tried 2 Burgers from the Grandview Drive-In, Mostly we had to wait 10 minutes for the Burgers. The first was the Shredded Beef Burger (It looked more like a Pulled Pork Sandwich and didn't resemble a Burger one bit. The Meat felt warm, the sauce was overpowering. We didn't like it at all, The Pizza was worse than that. A Burger topped with Canned tomato Sauce and Mozzarella Cheese, like Perry said (take 2 American Classics and turn it into something not so great, it was an Amalgamate Disaster). Burger was Burnt and Overcooked, I also didn't like that Canned Pizza Sauce Flavor. When it was time to try the other Burger that the other Yelp Judges picked for us to try, we weren't that Ecstatic. From the Comfort Zone Café we tried the Chiavetta's Chicken Dinner Burger (It was more like a Chicken Patty, it was dry and that Vinegar Sauce overwhelmed my Mouth). In the end between the 8 Judges we Picked Soho Project for the winning Burger. After the Judging was over I went over and waited in line at Lomo Lomo to try there Penang Burger. It was the best burger that I had there, Angus Beef Patty topped with a Spicy Red Curry Peanut Sauce and a mixture of Toasted Rice & Red Quinoa with a Kimchi Pickle on the Bottom all on a Homemade Sweet Potato Bun (I loved the heat from the Peanut Sauce and I told them they should market those Sweet Potato Buns). I also went back to have another Black Bean Burger from Soho Project along with a side of Fire Roasted Salsa and a cup of Mixed Berry Lemonade to wash it all down. Then I finished it off with Something Sweet, I went over to Nitro Magic (Ice Cream made with Liquid Nitrogen right before your very eyes). First time I've ever seen Liquid Nitrogen up close in Buffalo. Choices were between Vanilla, Chocolate, Mint & Salted Caramel Pretzel (I chose Vanilla) to see a Liquid-y Puddle of Ice Cream going back to its frozen state within seconds was Remarkable. my time here was amazing, If they need me to come back and Judge again. I'll be There !!!

As a gal who was raised on Swanson Frozen…read moredinners.... never had a vegetable that didn't come out of a can until I went away for college.... and who comes from very working class roots.... dining in such understated sophistication is quite a treat for me. Sure I go to lots and LOTS of restaurants now, but somehow eating a meal in a restaurant (even a very nice one) doesn't quite compare to the level of service that's found in a country club. A friend of mine is a member of the Orchard Park Country Club, and when they close every January for the month their members are invited to dine at Wanakah. And lucky me was invited to come along. Lucky, LUCKY me! The setting is old and grand and understated. There are two dining rooms. A more formal one and a more relaxed wood paneled one (where it appeared most people, including us, choose to dine). We were made to feel welcome upon arriving and that welcoming feeling never, ever left. A relish tray with tender crisp veggies (carrots, celery, bell peppers, radishes, cucumbers, asparagus...) and three types of cheese, and little bread sticks was brought to the table along with delicious fresh bread and creamy, dreamy butter. The wine list was fabulous... and we certainly enjoyed the bottle of Pinot Noir that was chosen. For a starter my "Roasted Two Beet Salad (red and yellow beets with baby spinach, red onions, feta cheese, and herb vinaigrette) was fresh and flavorful. My son found his French Onion Soup to be one of the best he's ever had. All of us ordered the Filet Mignon for an entree (funny!). And, every one of them whether cooked medium, medium well, or well done (yup..I'm that guilty party) was cooked perfectly. They were fork tender as well. (how do they do that?). The mustard and horseradish topping was a perfect addition to the fine flavor of the beef. And, the accompanying fingerling potatoes and asparagus complimented the dish very well. Our triple chocolate tarts (yup....again we all got the same thing) were tasty, fresh, and not too sweet... with just the perfect balance of chocolate flavors for which none over-powered the others. And it was decorated with a lovely dollop of (real!) whipped cream. I am actually looking forward to next January.... and hoping to be invited back for dinner (hint... hint... PLEASE!)

There were "bleachers" through out the festival. I feel this was a great thing. It one gave more options for people to sit down, eat and relax. Which I think in turn cleared alot of space up. We walked through the festival for over three hours and not once felt crowded, and I really think that's because of all the new resting spots. I always get the family tickets from tops ahead of time, then collect the tickets from the tent. Always an easy process, shorter lines. Average good was going for 8 to 10 tickets, same as previous years so I did not see any increase there. And most had a 4 ticket sample item as well. Loved the variety..trying new restaurants. Entertainment is always spot on, that hasn't changed either. Just a good food festival..this year weather was perfect for it as well.

Pro tip: buy your tickets at TOPS before the festival. They're cheaper, and you get (non-alcoholic) drink coupons to use ar the fest. Our favorite this year was Nickel City Vice's "You're Nuts," a peanut butter cheesecake ice cream sandwich. The boys nearly died laughing when I went up to place our order and asked the guy, "Can I have You're Nuts?" We also happily demolished small FREE bags of Checkers & Rally's fries, some ethic eats, and Buffalo classics (Nick Charlap's custard, Just Pizza). The Taste of Buffalo is one of those events that reminds you how many great local restaurants and food businesses we have.
