    Cool sign!

    Extensive menu, many things to choose from & popular bar room! Great service, and cozy, historical site. Patio dining available This restaurant delivers...upon a previous visit to EA, many places weren't open, but Wallenwein's WAS! Elm Street offers a variety of restaurants & shops but Wallenwein's is strategically located and (for senior citizens with walking issues,) has a parking lot! Fish fry on Friday only. No dessert menu but so many tasty, filling menu items prepared freshly that we were full & happily needed a walk. (There are multiple places nearby to get ice cream & desserts.) Good size portions, too...I brought half of my cordon Bleu chicken sandwich & sweet potato fries w/honey home where the leftovers disappeared!

    Front entrance at night.

    The food is super delicious. You've got to try the cauliflower wings. They come in a variety of flavors. Cajun and Carolina BBQ are two of my favorites. The service is timely and the staff are super friendly. Very casual setting. Classy at best.

    Oh boy did I love it here. Old school bar vibe. Lots of excellent beer on tap. Attentive and kind wait staff. Plump perfectly made wings. My burger was underwhelming given how great everything else was. I regret not getting something else for dinner. But I'll be back in a heartbeat especially to try the fish fry.

    Fish fry

    Fish fry 10/10. Would absolutely recommend. Fish was huge, flaky, and breading was perfect. No soggy layer under the breading. German potato salad was delicious (I wish they gave us more though!) not a bad wait even on a Friday. (20 mins)

    Fried bologna

    First time here. Very nice menu. Comfortable dining area. Food was very good. Server was great. Prices were very reasonable IMO. Suicidal wings could have used some more but they were good! Wife really loved the fried bologna sandwich and pub chips. Will be back to explore some other menu options...

    They kindly split my double order of fingers in separate containers - 1/2 plain with mild sauce on side, 1/2 medium

    Takeout was 3 stars. Ordered takeout on a Friday night. They don't take call aheads for orders, which is understandable knowing how unpredictable business can be - will it be busy?, do we have enough staff?, is there going to be a wait, etc. I called around 5pm and was told it would be about 40 min. It ended up being an hour. My only wish is that the takeout service was run a bit smoother. Perhaps a separate phone line or designated takeout area? Food was 5 stars. We had a double order of fingers. They were kind enough to allow me to split sauces - half plain with mild on the side, half medium. Bonus points for keeping the celery separate from the fingers. They even put the different fingers in separate boxes. We will be back, but probably just stick with eating inside the restaurant.

    This review is for drinks only. I was on a pub crawl in East Aurora. Fun fact: You can order your drink to go in East Aurora, and drink your alcoholic beverage while you walk. There are only a handful of places you can practice this act at, and East Aurora is one of them. You're welcome for changing your life. The bartenders are delightful. They are generous and I am looking forward to coming back and trying some food. Chris was an excellent bartender. A great personality. I loved the vibe the bar was giving, and the look and feel of the place.

    1/2 of the BBQ cauliflower wings; you get 8 or so medium-large wings. Good for sharing.

    When Wallenwein's started popping up on my Instagram feed a few months back, I was truly confused. Vegan options?? This unassuming bar and restaurant offers "Vegan Thursdays". During our visit, we inquired as to why the options are only limited to Thursdays; since they use separate cooking areas and fryers, they can only put aside one day a week to make these accommodations possible with the busy crowd. In a way, I appreciate this. You can tell they really care about cross-contamination with meat/dairy. It will be interesting to see if they expand the options to other days in the future. The menu is typical bar food; vegan pizza, a rotating vegan sandwich (they have offered Rueben's and a beef on weck so far), the impossible big mac burger, and the infamous cauliflower wings. The wings come in standard buffalo, or Carolina BBQ/ regular BBQ for a dollar more. They provide a side of vegan bleu cheeze and celery; typical Buffalo fare. We were also provided with a regular menu, in which I noticed a veggie wrap, Portobello grill sandwich, and the impossible burger itself on. I am sure they could be made vegan for other days of the week (sans a few ingredients), though I do not know if cooking areas would be separated-- worth noting though for the everyday menu. The wings were phenomenal. Mom caved in and shared BBQ with me (I don't like buffalo sauce much, sorry). I am not a big fan of fried food, but these wings were crispy without feeling heavy. Cauliflower is already my favorite vegetable, and it can do just about anything. The BBQ sauce had a little kick to it, but nothing overbearing. Mom also ordered a wally basket fry, which was huge for $4.95. We sat out on the patio and had a nice evening in East Aurora. Well, almost nice. You cannot smoke inside or on the patio, but some guys were puffing their cancer sticks right in front of the patio. I wish they would address this-- you should have to stay a further distance away. It didn't affect us too much, but we may stay inside next time. I am very impressed with Walleweins. It is more family friendly than other "pub"/bar-esque restaurants. Our server was attentive and very friendly. I cannot wait to see how Vegan Night grows in the future, and I am thankful for such a casual option in the village.

    The BEST fish fry I've ever had in my life

    I took my dad's advice for lunch here. They were so welcoming and polite! Immediate service and so friendly. We got our food super fast which makes no sense because the food is absolutely delicious. In my experience you can either have your food fast or delicious but never both, they proved me wrong here.y son is the luckiest eater of all time and completely housed his hamburger. We even ordered a second burger for dinner at home. This place makes we want to move to East Aurora. 10/5 stars.

    Vegan reuben
    Domenic J. L.

    I've been seeing Nora's Thursday special vegan menu posts in the WNY Vegans Facebook group for weeks now, but never really thought seriously about driving from Amherst to East Aurora, especially in February -- until I heard they introduced a reuben. It was seriously worth the drive. No hype -- this is a great sandwich. So many others get the 1000 Island part wrong. And the cauliflower wings & blue cheese -- spot on! Some of the best vegan takeout I've had since Amy's Place closed. Kudo's to Wallenwein's for being innovative and appealing to a growing yet largely untapped market. Though limited to Thursday nights, perhaps when more of us go out of our way to make the journey for great food, they'll be able to make these items regularly available.

    Fish fry- during lent

    Came during lent on a Friday night. I expected to have to wait and waited close to two hours. The wait really wasn't a problem for me. The disappointing part was that I received this fish fry that was mostly over done. I didn't bother to complain or send it back to the kitchen because I knew they were rammed. But this was a disappointing experience after waiting two hours to be seated.

Not going to lie, it's nearly impossible to sit through a lacrosse game while smelling burgers from this place the entire time.

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.
