Buffalo's Steak & Sub

This place recently opened last summer along Main Street a few miles north of downtown near Anchor Bar. We wouldn't know of this place since there is no website online or anything. So a coworker brought in the menu and said the steak was amazing.

Right on their first page of the menu, it says free delivery, so it scored right away with us. They have hoagies, subs, salads, tacos, wings, fries, nachos, burgers, and more. They have a lot of choice on this menu. They have an awesome special that isn’t on the menu which is an 8" Hoagy (Steak, Chicken, or Sausage), Fries and a drink for $6.79 The menu almost mimics of Jim's Steakout, but with more reasonable prices. We talked to Nick, the co-owner, who runs things there and he told us over the phone they are also adding pizza to their menu in three weeks. This would make a difference than just feeling like another sub place in Buffalo.

A dozen of people ordered today through this place together. The delivery did come about five minutes late as we called them a few times. Names were written on all the orders also. They gave us packets of salt, pepper, malt vinegar, and ketchup, as well as straws. The specials came with drinks so four of them were placed in a big cup holder. The fries with the special came in a small wax paper bag. They ended up being real soggy this way. As opposed to ordering a separate large order of fries, those fries came in a brown box with plenty more. The 8" subs were also noticeably smaller compared to the 12". The 12" was cut in half and the 8" sub just looked like there could be more with it. It left most of us wanting more. They only had one kind of cheese which they called their sub cheese… and they added a special sauce to the hoagies. The subs tasted mostly like their special sauce, but people said there wasn't enough flavor otherwise. The wings were pretty traditional and cooked fine, but not enough sauce to them.

It wasn't an experience that was super as we would still go to Jim’s if we wanted similar types of subs. However, we would order from them again based on their extensive and affordable lunch menu.

Final Rating: 3.0 out of 5
