Mothers Restaurant - (Near Buffalo, NY)

4 /5 Holly Mosher: Nice place, we had a great waiter. Food was okay. Filet was different but good. Duck was fatty, alot of restaurants do that lately. Ala carte, no salad & was served one stale slice of bread each with cold butter. A one & done for us.

3 /5 R C: Disappointed update: My mother got the NY Strip Steak. It was super tough and hard to cut. Our waitress, Kayla, was not attentive at all. She talked a lot to the bartender waiting for drinks. The bartender also chatted up male guests instead of making drinks, so it was a long time before we even got our first drinks. We both would have ordered more than one drink or would have had dessert if she had come to our table. She didnt even offer dessert. The table next to us got their dessert and finished it before we finally had to ask someone to get our waitress. Also, 1 of 3 stuffed banana peppers was clearly cooked upside down, so had no cheese on top (see picture). Previous experience: We came to this popular and well-known Buffalo bar/restaurant on a Thursday night, and it was still quite full/well-visited. They have a well-stocked bar with multiple bartenders and also serve food. There is a set menu along with daily specials. Unfortunately, this place does not offer vegetarian entrees. We shared two vegetarian appetizers: the stuffed banana peppers and the brie and artichoke dip. I especially liked the brie and artichoke dip. Both appetizers came with toasted bread. Our waitress was quite nice, patient, and friendly. There is seating inside and outside available. However, seating is only possible if you plan on eating.

1 /5 Linsy Meyer: Made a reservation for my 32nd birthday! Went with 4 other women. This was a Monday night 11/3. The atmosphere was cool but we were sat at a table right by the door and we all froze, all night. The waitress, don’t know her name as she didn’t introduce herself, did not come over for 17 minutes after we were seated. She came and asked if we wanted drinks (no pleasantries). We all ordered drinks and our food. Drinks didn’t come out for about 20 minutes. Our food took over an hour for appetizers. Hour and a half for entrees. Our waitress came over exactly once to refill our waters and ask if we wanted any other drinks for that hour and a half wait. I ordered filet mignon- medium. It came our RARE and the sides were cold. The dish had no sauce, and it was supposed to. My sister ordered the same and hers was also rare. We sent them back explaining the issue. Both plates came back and the sides were still cold and the filets still undercooked. At that point we didn’t eat it just brought it home to cook ourselves because we weren’t sending it back a second time. This was all 5 of our first time at this restaurant and none of us plan to return. I would not recommend this place to any friends. The only good part of the entire experience was the appetizers were good (clams, shrimp fritters, artichoke dip) as were the drinks. 2/10 will not return. I’ve included a picture of my “medium” filet. This is after it was allegedly recooked.

5 /5 Robert: Truly a little gem on the city. A beautiful patio, bar area is wonderful inside. The food was amazing. I only had the appetizers but more than sufficient. The service was excellent. Truly a great experience by yourself or with a date.
