Allen St Hardware Cafe, Buffalo, New York Restaurant Details

Food:

Hardware is a fine place to grab a drink. I'm not a huge fan of the fact that there's almost a guaranteed cover if you're going on a weekend. But that normally means there's a DJ. The clientele is normally a class above the other joints on the strip, which is nice. Though lighting is, oddly enough, a lot worse than the other bars. I'm always having trouble seeing in there. Prices for drinks are fair. Plenty of seating. A cramped as hell dance floor. But there is a room out back that can house even more entertainment. Cool place. Like it.

Food:

What a waste of time. The draft selection is just ok and the staff doesn't seem to even care you are there. We waited roughly any hour for our food after already waiting 10 minutes to get a beer, when we were just about to walk out as two other tables had already done (there were only 5-6 parties to begin with) our food came out. The waitress asked if we needed anything and we couldn't help but inquire why it took an hour for our food in a dead restaurant. Her answer was that it was really busy, plus they had a small kitchen. I guess witnessing the staff doing shots at 1pm and bsing at the bar any free second didn't help either.

Hardware, my #1 Bar

Food:

Well at first we were at gabriels gate. We were givin a table but no server. After 15 mins of waiting it was obvious we werent getting served so we left. I haven't tried Alan hardware so we headed down there. We got a table and water quick. The atmosphere was nice. It was a little dark but still charming. The waiter was attractive and slightly spacey. The baked brie app was very good and different. Highly recommend it. The burger was medium well but the shell was burnt. Easy mistake with home made burgers. I would suggest they buy a burger ring to pound out burgers and thin it out. We thought the Prices were reasonable. Over all I would return often.

Food:

Great Panini's, service can be a little iffy if the bar is busy - and how can a restaurant not have Ranch Dressing!?
