My grandparents live out there and don’t often want to come to the city, so we have to go out there. We’re all sick of going to Uno and those kinds of places is there anything in amherst that isnt a lame chain? I know about Pietros, but that sounds a bit too high class (esspensive) for a little family dinner. ? ---

Why limit yourself to Amherst? There are quite a few decent ones, but most are closer to Buffalo or the airport, and sometimes NF. Any particular food you looking for? ---

For good but not real expensive food, Dandelions is pretty nice. They have great wings. It’s off N.Forest, right near Maple, pretty much behind Blockbuster. I’m a little biased since it’s about 2 minutes from my house and like your grandparents, a lot of times i don’t want to drive far for food. Heh. I’ll second Scotch and Sirloin, great steaks, reasonable price. My neighbors keep telling me to go Moes over on Transit since I like spicy food but I haven’t been yet. ---

Don’t go to moe’s. WAY overpriced for the food you get. and every time someone walks in they go “WELCOME TO MOES!!!” How obnoxious… UGH. ---
