    So here's the dish on The Dish, I mean it's nothing mind blowing but it's satisfying for what it offers. Canalside has long been criticized for not having many offers in terms of food for patrons. This little food stand fills a need and seems sufficient. My boo got a burger and I got the grilled chicken quesadilla. We split an order of fries. It was all okay. Nothing mind blowing but satisfying for a quick lunch while on the waterfront. They have ice cream and other snack items that are Buffalo-centric, which is cool. I'm a fan of the local flare. It's definitely a bit expensive for what it is, but definitely expected at this venue. There are plenty of tables available to sit and eat at. Most with umbrellas and in the shade which is awesome. An overall decent food stand. Keep the options coming, Canalside!

    40 minutes to make an average and overpriced hot dog and pierogis........LOL. There was no one ahead of us when we ordered, and the people behind us got their orders before we did. The cashier probably forgot to put the order in and didn't realize until we came up to the pick up window 30 minutes after waiting. She did have her earphones on while she took our order so she probably had no idea what we were saying.

    The spot is still young ang growing pains are there, but she has the people in mind. Events both new and regular are drawing people in. Give it time it will only get better! Try a boat tour, paddle bike or just walk the docks. It's a very nice waterfront hangout for all ages.

    See all

    Burnt and uncooked hot dogs. Fries tastes like cardboard. Wish I had a beer to wash out the taste. However, my toddler doesn't care LOL.

    Update: as of Memorial Day weekend 2019, there is nothing on the menu for vegetarians unless you're satisfied with an order of French fries.

    This place is fine for a basic food stand. Small, basic menu. Friendly employees. Nice location.
