I keep things honest with y’all when doing these.

The Blackthorn Pub is one of if not South Buffalo’s most popular bars and compared to Seneca Street competition, certainly the most upscale.  An insanely popular spot among locals there’s a full menu and tons of room to sit at a table for dinner, enjoy a large patio during summer or plop yourself at the … Read More

Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: KO Sports Bar & Grill

August 6, 2019By Patrick Moran

There’s enough context in the following paragraphs to need a tantalizing lead in.  You already know what’s coming, so just read on already… PROS: These were good wings—well above average.
