ok, well, I’m sick of all the “normal” places to go eat, I’m looking for something with good reviews probably in the Allentown/Elmwood areas; something like East Ave in Rochester places.
Let me know where you’ve been, what you recommend, and what type of food they have.
Ever been to Gabrielle’s Gate? Typical Buffalo food. It’s good, it’s cheap but not like crappy place cheap.
Frog Hair
i have worked at stillwater doing valet, and their menu seems really good. Never eaten the food… but it may be worth a glance
+1 for Gabriels Gate
Its like fridays applebees type food, but not as processed and way better tasting
the atmosphere is great, and the prices are reasonable
theres wide variety of stuff in this area. You talking lunch or dinner? have an idea of price?
-1 for the gate, good burgers but thats about it. Bland chicken, no free refills and a small menu… Sorry guys im just picky.
cheaper:
gabriels gate, colter bay, fat bobs, globe market, bettys, jimmy macs, empire (hertel), kuni’s takeout
not so cheap:
mode, toro, brodo, tempo, hutchs, cecilias
the gate used to be really good, under the new owners its not as good as it used to be, but its still a good place for cheap.

Suggestion for Toro, Tapas style is fun
and I really have to say “Shango” again, I really think its the best restaurant in buffalo. I’ve been there a few times and i’m always left speechless. probably 35 bucks a person though so it really depends on your budget/occasion for going. If its just you going out to get some food… Shango isn’t suggested
let’s say $50-$75 for 2; maybe $75-$100 with a bottle of wine.
fiddleheads on allen and franklyn seems to be in your price range and i have heard nothing but good things.
on a somewhat related note: i’ve been going to the gate to eat a fish fry for like 7 years. their beer battered fish is so fucking good.

try shango, its on the high end of your range… but i’m sure you’ll like it
I think everyone should try Frog Hair, because apparently Itagaki, 2turboZ and myself along with very few others actually know theres awesome food inside, and its decently priced … oh wait Bladez couldnt finish his dinner there … what a baby

You’re welcome.
(Food’s absolutely awesome, it’s a bit different as it’s got a subtle caribbean twist, right in your price range. Not allentown though, it’s right near the Basilica.)
hey at least they are promoting local business and such :shrug:

Curlys is very good…
Another good one is the Mullberry (I live right next door,and yes the food is AMAZING!) it’s not downtown through. It just off Rt.5 after the porn store. It is in the little neighborhood before the steel plant. AND NO NOT THE GHETTO!The BEST Italian food I have every had.
Prime, 490 Rhode Island off of Lexington
Best retaurant I’ve been to, yet very pricey. Extremely upscale, very proper. Candle lit dinner for two and a bottle of wine ran me about $200, plus a $40 tip I left ($240 total).
