    Specialty Banana pudding, delish!
    Ryan F.

    Driven past this many times, finally stopped in tonight to get a menu while driving to see the sunset. What a clean, friendly, welcoming delicious place! The owner Rodney and I talked, and he explained the menu, the story of the restaurant and next thing you know I'm ordering a couple Pastelitos and the Specialty Banana pudding (with all the best cookie toppings and from scratch recipe). Rodney is gregarious and kind, very passionate about food and firefighting, still teaching to this day. Neat ambiance and design inside with cool photos of his firefighting training on the walls. Great spot to enjoy the sunset over the river. Hefty delicious banana pudding, and the Pastelitos rival that of any other Puerto Rican in Buffalo. Can't wait to come back for a full meal of soul food.

    Some friends, my husband and I came here for dinner a couple weeks back when visiting the area, and…read morefound both hits and misses. The service was very good and it's a cute spot that I'd be willing to come back to. The best thing we had BY FAR were the beef croquettes. These were perfect, and I could have made a meal out of them. They had a tender birria like shredded meat inside with some cheese and probably some potato, I can't even remember but I do remember that everyone loved these. We also ordered asparagus, the Korean Fried Chicken, the shrimp with potatoes (all small plates) and one of my friends ordered the duck entree. My husband and friends had cocktails and mocktails; I didn't order one because they said they had nothing that was sweet. Incidental pet peeve: Saying "all our cocktails are balanced". I get it, you want to brag. But, some of us like things that are sweet, or as in the case of one of my friends, decidedly NOT sweet. If all of your cocktails are balanced the same way, it gives little useful info on what to order. I will respond to this by NOT ordering and sticking to tap water. I'd prefer it if you have a little something sweet and a little something not-sweet on the menu for those of us who don't actually want "perfectly balanced". That said, I did have a sip of the cocktails the others ordered. To my surprise, I liked the Broken Garden Tools. Though it wasn't particularly sweet it was also not super sour/tart and it was refreshing. I *could* have ordered that one, but I never would have known it from the description. I didn't like any of the others I tasted, but I can't remember what those were. Since I don't like whisky and I prefer sweet drinks, don't take this to mean that they don't have good drinks - the others enjoyed theirs, they just weren't to MY taste. Of the other dishes, I liked the cabbage that was on my friend's duck plate (I didn't try the duck). The asparagus was fine. The shrimp and potatoes was ok but not as good as I'd hoped for. And honestly, I didn't love the KFC. It didn't seem to be twice-fried and super crispy like KFC should be, and the sauce to me wasn't balanced between the sweet and spicy flavors I prefer. However, my husband liked it very well. The only other thing I'd caution is to double check ingredients. There was a dish ordered (I can't remember which now, some kind of bread maybe, but not listed as a bruschetta) that said it contained rosemary among other things but did not list basil. We saw no rosemary at all, but a lot of basil, which I can't eat. So I didn't have any. The others shared it. I would have been more disappointed had it been my selection. My friend noted that the server did not ask us about any food allergies, which, if your menu doesn't accurately list its contents, is problematic. Fortunately I know what basil looks like so no harm done. All in all, I would return, get lots of croquettes, order a Broken Garden Tools, and maybe try some other things we didn't get to. But I'd double check all the ingredients.

    On a recent trip to Buffalo we stumbled upon The Dapper Goose and were so impressed. The menu items…read moreare sourced locally and created with thoughtfulness. We both enjoyed our meals, and the atmosphere was very cozy and welcoming. we will definitely be back!

    I *rarely* give 5 stars…read more The bbq here is Ah-mazing!!! What a great local spot! Went in at the end of the night in the middle of the week. Still had all menu items available, and the food was fresh, tender, and super flavorful! Got the RBT family style platter it was more than enough food for four of us. Ribs were falling off the bone tender, had both smoked wings and buffalo style wings which were done perfectly, and their brisket is fantastic! Tried hamburger egg roll app, and a variety of sides. Customer service was stellar! Trevor made great suggestions helped us decide what to get for our small party and gave excellent service.... Super friendly, attentive service.

    The food here is absolutely BOMB. Honestly, if this place served late night in house and delivery,…read moreeven a reduced bar menu...they'd probably kill it. Buffalo is not exactly known for quality late night bites with the exception of a few solid spots. Roaming Bison has the product, location, and food truck right outside to meet an majorly underserved demographic. Also, it would be so cool to see a fish option on future visits. The catfish pics on Yelp look incredible and we were a little bummed it wasn't on the menu...although everything we did have was beyond. Ribs: sic. Brisket: beautiful bark. Sides: collard greens, mac & chz, corn cake...fantastic. We look forward to coming back to try the eggplant wings. Oh and the service was perfectly Buffalo.....authentic and warm hearted.
