Tully’s Good Times

First off, let’s be clear, I love Tullys. Hands down best chicken finger I’ve ever had. My latest experience wasn’t the best. They’ve introduced an Asian sauced finger now which I wanted to try. In the event I didn’t care for them I didn’t want that to be my entire entrée. I requested that I be able to do half plain and half of the Asian sauced ones and was told the cooks don’t do that… well why not?
I’ve worked in kitchens before and I’m sure it’s just a matter of throwing the fingers in some sauce and swirling them around. So what’s the big deal? Just make your customer happy! I got the Asian fingers and then didn’t care for them. Ate ¼ of them and took the rest in case my wife wanted them.
Not sure why the art of authentic customer is becoming a distant memory…

Good service, excellent food! Everything came out perfect and we all loved our meals. This was our first visit to a Tully’s and definitely recommend it!

Great burger
Varied menu, lots to choose from in wide range of prices, many too adventurous for my bland tastes, but enjoyed by my companions on our many visits
Wait staff is always friendly, efficient and is good about honoring special requests (NO PICKLE !)
Several arcade games to amuse and a pool table
My visit was at lunchtime so no waiting and a light crowd
Amanda was our server and she was terrific
We come here often and will return soon

Yum yum yum! This place is known for its chicken fingers and boy are they good! The service is great! There was a problem with our bill and the server got the manager immediately and the problem was resolved very quickly.

Tully’s never fails to satisfy us!
We’ve been coming here for years, about once a month (which says a lot since we don’t get out much).
My husband and I are not picky eaters, but we rarely stray from our «usual», the Tully’s Tenders lunch/​dinner. I’m telling you: these chicken fingers are THE BEST. They are battered in the most amazing combination of flour, butter, other ingredients, and deliciousness. They arrive at the table at just the right temperature, perfectly golden and crispy. I don’t care for mustard, so I always get BBQ sauce to dip them in. Soooo good. My husband gets his Tenders Buffalo style. Their Buffalo sauce is not Frank’s-based like most other local places– it has its own kind of flavor. (I am not a fan, but Hubby loves it.)
The fries are always cooked perfectly too. They are pretty starchy, but they are great dipped in BBQ sauce.
Kid RJ always orders grilled cheese and fries. The kids meals are reasonably priced, less than $ 4 for the little kids meals. They have a bigger kids menu as well, but we aren’t quite there yet, maybe another year. The kids menu placemats are cute and fun too, offering boredom busters along with a cup of crayons. One bummer is that they do not offer free refills on kids drinks, so pace your kids on their drinks or you’ll be paying the same for a cup as you would for a gallon!
There is a wide variety of games to play for any age. There are «play til you win» games for the young’uns, skill and video games for the in-​betweeners, and a pool table for the older «kids». Not that it takes that long for the food to come out. We were just there as a party of six (five eating real food, one eating popcorn), and the food was out in like 15 minutes, and that was with a full restaurant. Quite impressed.
So you know the Tully’s Tenders are the best ever, but what else should you try?
–Mexican egg roll wrappy things (app menu)
–Bacon burger
–Chicken sandwich
–pretty much everything
Oh, should I mention that I’m a vegetarian? Tully’s is always my cheat day because those Tenders are irresistible. Enjoy!

I honestly have an obsession with a good beer and some Tully tenders. I love the honey mustard sauce. I have a slight obsession. Also, who doesn’t love popcorn to snack on?!

Tully’s is much like Applebee’s, at least in how frequently you see them. Seriously, I’ve lived here 22 years of my life and never made it to a Tully’s. Which is fine by me, at least the feeling after I ate there.
Mind you, I managed to try two different Tully’s in like a 2 weeks period… yay…
So second chances were given.
We arrive and I like the atmosphere. Trying hard to make it comfy and fun. Which is better than not. Couple bowls of popcorn hit the table, which again. Kinda fun. Drink orders come and go, I had the blue raspberry lemonade. Which is delicious! BUT no where neither on the menu, nor did the waitress mention. That there are in fact, No refills. I’d expect that from an alcoholic beverage, but not my lemonade. They should take notes from Applebee’s. Who offer just one refill with specialty lemonades. But I digress.
I order the patty melt. (Syracuse location.)
And where do I start. On a couple slices of barely toasted seedless rye. Saturated in grease. I reluctantly take a bite to find a very dry patty of beef. Disappointed I reach for my fries. Which were just ok… but didn’t quite put a band aid on it.
Needless to say, I left dissatisfied.
Next location, Niagara Falls boulevard. Which mind you, now I’m on a diet. So trying to eat more cautiously. I order the turkey burger. With grilled onions and Swiss. The burger lands, paired next to the same sub-​par French fries. I take a bite, and… nothing. I mean literally NO flavor out of that patty. All I taste is Swiss, and some grilled onion. Which by the way, very skimpy on the onions. It’s as if they grilled packing peanuts, then formed it into a patty.
Here’s the kicker. My friend Ashe, reaches over to me and says.
«You don’t come here for anything other than the chicken tenders. Go ahead, try one.
I did… and oh my lanta. Ok… so they do something right! Pretty epic chicken tender. But they have SUCH an extensive menu, who knew!!! Maybe I was to adventurous. But… I don’t know. I still don’t think your life changing chicken tender can make up for your fault in burgers, and fries… maybe that’s just me.
But you be the judge.
If I do go back. Chicken tenders RELIGIOUSLY. The end. Nothing else!

They advertise the best chicken tenders in the world, and I have yet to find any contenders to dispute this claim. Great handmade lemonades too. I can’t comment on the rest of the food, as I always order the chicken tenders; they are honestly that good. They also bring popcorn to the table which I love.

Excellent chicken fingers, great service, place just feels and smells a little dingy and dirty.

I’m not a huge fan of the food here. I’ll start by saying that the pasta can be extremely oily. Two thumbs down because the oil takes away from the flavor. Secondly, when I ordered the double bacon cheeseburger, I kid you not… it tasted like Wendy’s. I was very disappointed. If I wanted my burger to taste like Wendy’s, I would have went to WENDY’S. The only good experience that I’ve had here was when ordering the chicken fingers. Those are pretty difficult to mess up. Paired with the honey mustard you’ve got a winner.

I came to Tully’s for a late lunch and had the Mediterranean chicken salad. It was delicious! The service was great also. Our server was very nice and attentive. I’ll definitely be back soon!

My boyfriend’s dad and coworkers absolutely LOVE Tully’s and they’re there all time after a long day of work. They have a variety of delicious and affordable cocktails and a decent beer list with tons of options.
A sports themed atmosphere accompanies plenty of TVs showcasing whatever game is on. The loaded fries are a favorite, doused in bacon and cheese. Tully’s famous chicken fingers are available in a variety of sauces and are quite good.
Definitely a great place to stop by for affordable drinks in a casual atmosphere.

I always fill up on the delicious popcorn before my meal comes. You would think I would learn but I love the popcorn so much, I can’t resist it. My mushroom and swiss burger was cooked to perfection and juicy and delicious. I chose potato salad as my side because we ordered loaded fries as an appetizer. The loaded fries are delicious with all that cheese and bacon. I didn’t care for the potato salad but I usually only like my own. Another thing I love about Tully’s is the size of their drinks. They are huge! I never have to order another one as it will last through the whole meal. The service was excellent and our server was very friendly and efficient. I also love all the televisions with sports on to keep the men happy (and some women).

I love this place. Their food is always so good and so fresh! Chicken fingers of course are delicious. Their burgers are super good. No complaints over here!

I want to love this place. My husband loves coming here because they have the best tuna melt sandwiches, but EVERY TIME I come here with him, they screw up my order. EVERY TIME. The most annoying part is having to speak to the manager… EVERY TIME. Now, they always make it right after the fact, but by then my husband has finished (at my insistence), and I end up just taking my food home. Some night out.
The food is pretty good, just don’t understand why there is always a problem.

Great place for the family. Too many tvs to count, so always a great game on to watch. Wide wide wide selection of food on the menu that they are always updating with tasty new selections. Only down side is I usually have to fight my daughter for the complimentary popcorn.
Seems like we always wind up @ Tullys after shopping in the Blvd!!!

Big ass sports bar!!! This place is huge. Been to Buffalo many times and never stopped till tonight. I’ll be back. If you’re into sports there are TVs everywhere!
And the food is good. I had the Swedish meatball appetizer. These are NOT the tasteless little things you get a IKEA! Generous portion in a big bowl of a French onion sour cream sauce that was awesome. And, of course, garlic toast for sopping up the gravy.
That could have been dinner by itself, but little did I know. So I ordered the rib eye steak tips with mashed potatoes and, since it is what Tully’s is supposed to be known for, I ordered a side of their chicken tenders, and I now know why they’re known for them. The batter is almost like a tempura batter. Light and crunchy, and not salty, with a good honey mustard sauce. A big basket of these next time please!!!
I took one bite of the steak so I could say I tried it, but I’m STUFFED, so they’re going back to the hotel with me for later or breakfast tomorrow. Meat that I tried was tasty and tender. So far, a good choice.
Jennifer waited on me. She was friendly, prompt but didn’t hover. Checked back and basically took good care of me.
I came early so it was quiet, but if the food was this tasty, I’ll come back later too. Check it out. It is, apparently a NY chain, but totally didn’t feel like it.

Good food, big portions and reasonably priced. Can take my family of 4 out with out breaking the bank.
I enjoy being able to watch games while still being able enjoy conversation.

A small Upstate/​Western NY chain, Tully’s gives you many reasons to come here rather than larger chains like Jack Astor’s and Buffalo Wild Wings. Tully’s stands tall with better food, service and a more local feeling and like it’s competitors draws patrons in with abundant, large TVs to keep up with all sporting events.
The biggest difference between the trio is portions and value. Tully’s food isn’t excellent, but definitely a grade better than Buffalo Wild Wings and Jack Astor’s, maybe even two. And, you’ll get much larger meals for a better price.
Tully’s offers daily lunch and dinner specials and in addition to and endless amount of alcohol (like all sports bars) they also have fresh squeezed lemonade (which is a value at below $ 3), teas, etc. In short, there’s something for everyone here, big drinkers and non-​drinkers.
Tully’s claim is their chicken tender, which are fair. If you live in NY, they’ll probably be excellent to you (and their honey mustard sauce is), but if you’ve spend time south where Bojangles, Raising Canes and Zaxby’s are, you’ll think their ok. All their burgers and sandwiches are better than average for chain food. The Italian dishes are huge and fair, too.
In short, if you are in the mood to watch games, the food here warrants a trip because it’s more affordable and tastes better than at their peers and you’ll get much better service here. It’s great for families, a late night hangout or even in town solo.

i was craving for chicken fingers this one time for dinner and pulled up my trusty Unilocal app and look what i found. A place that is popular for Chicken fingers, is close by and has a very high Unilocal rating. I said, why not.
When you first walk in, there is a the hostess on the left side and on the right side is a little waiting area with some games to occupy you while you wait.
The place it self has a sports bar feel with TV’s and stuff but its also nice because the booths are high and there is alot of privacy.
They give you free popcorn to snack on. watch out though, don’t eat too much of it, because when your main meal comes, you will not have space for it. Ive been guilty of this many of times!
I usually order the chicken finger dinner that comes with fries. It comes with the right amount of fries that you will finish it off. The amount of tenders you also get is perfect!
The dipping sauces i personally LOVE is their honey mustard. That dipping sauce is on point. The next favorite sauce is their Buffalo Wing Dipping sauce. I’m not sure what the correct name is, but that’s what I ask and they correct me, and then it comes out and its what i wanted. LOL!
When you order Pop. the cups are very very big, but im not sure what they put in it, because I can put away 3 – 4 diet drink of those alone! So Crazy!
The tenders are nice juice and moist on the inside and nice and cripsy on the outside.
Our server each time was very very nice, accommodating and friendly.
I will for sure be back and eat more chicken tenders!
