A Taste of Buffalo

Would we come back again? Probably not… Food was so so. I had wings, which were small and dry, like way over cooked. The hot dog was good, but nothing special. The fries were good and plentiful. My husband had the philly steak, he said was just okay. The food is not bad, but we found nothing to rave about.
The day we went it was scorching hot outside, the air conditioning in the restaurant was having a difficult time keeping up, especially towards the kitchen area. We went to the back of the restaurant where it was much cooler.
The restaurant appeared clean, and you ordered from the counter and they bring your food to you, that all worked out fine. It was the lack luster food that was our disappointment.

Came in for lunch right after open. First time here. Place is huge. I ordered the cheese steak. Came out hot and crispy. Loved it. They have a regular size and a large. Fries were golden brown and crispy. Wife ordered honey bbq wings. They came out crisp and just enough sauce. A+ on the experience.

Beef on weck is great. Good value for your money. It is truly authentic buffalo type eating.

Buffalonians would be proud.
For the many people who have moved from the New York area, and settled out west. Finding that favorite hometown restaurant you left behind has always been a challenge. So for all the «Buffalonians» traveling or who have settled here in Arizona, «Taste of Buffalo» is a must
Taste of Buffalo has the old New York style ambiance and the food to match. The portions are large, really large, these portions are big enough for two, so bring a big appetite. A Taste of Buffalo serves all the authentic deli favorites. Theres the charbroiled Sahlens hot dogs, hot/​cold sandwiches, side salads, chicken wings, fries, onion rings, homemade potato chips, and desserts.
On this visit we sampled the Sahlens all beef hot dogs, Beef on a Weck, onion rings, french fries, and homemade potato chips. The Beef on Weck Sandwich was delicious, piled high with juicy, flavorful, roast beef, au jus, horseradish, on a salted and caraway seeded roll. My nephew and sister devoured the all beef hotdogs that were grilled to perfection. The onion rings, homemade potato chips, and french fries were fresh, crispy, and so very tasty.
Taste of Buffalo offers delicious food, great service, reasonable prices, with that «Buffalo» personality. I look forward to football season and catching a Bills game on their tvs while feasting on great food.

Wow! A new family favorite! The cheese stake took us back home to the east coast. But the onion rings were the star because I am picky about onion rings! They were big, crispy and something I’ve never had because they are made in house and not the prepackaged crap. We also had the weck on deck and so good as well! We are looking forward to going back to try other menu items. The owner was a sweet heart and spent time talking to us and asking how we liked our food.

WOW. This place was what my taste buds needed! Its everything i hoped it would be. The prices are a bit up there but its well worth the price. The food is amazing.
The place is big inside with a lot of seating. The customer service is friendly and staff are mellow and outgoing. Great to have in a place with amazing food.
I got the Beef on Weck with onion rings. Those were the best onion rings ive ever had. Very much homemade. I couldnt stop eating them and i ate more than half before even getting to my beef sandwhich. Now the beef sandwhich was amazing too. Seasoned perfectly. The sandwhich came with au jus. I did not like the au jus one bit. It smelled like wet dog for some reason? Not a nice beefy smell which was weird. But the sandwhich didnt even need the au jus. If a sandwhich that comes with au jus doesnt even need it then that really says something! Its a must get if you come here.
I also ordered the wings, medium. The wing sauce was not what im used to but i still loved it. Coming from a bad experience from a wing place the other day im happy to report these were perfect. Which is really sad that a place that doesnt just do wings has the perfect wings. Sounds silly to me. What i will say is i asked for my wings extra crispy and i didnt get them crispy… i was a little sad about that. But still very good. They dont charge you for extra ranch which i admire from them.
There was an older guy seemed to be the manager who was making sure the staff was wiping down tables and cleaning the salt and pepper shakers which was very nice to see. It looked clean and it felt even more clean to see them constantly wiping things down. I give them major props for that. He was very helpfull and interactive with the guests.
I hear their hot dogs are good, honestly i cant wait to try those. Im not a hot dog person but im hoping they will change that. I will be back probley tomorrow too!

Amazing place! Sandwiches were delicious and I loved my onion rings! Tons of food and at a great price. Their staff is so friendly and answered all our questions about the menu (since it was our first time) we’ll definitely be going here again!

Hands down best beef on weck ive had in a while! Just moved to arizona from Buffalo 6 months ago and this place is unreal! The kimmelweck roll was perfect! Sahlens hot dogs, royal subs, chicken finger subs. Only thing missing is the Logan berry ;)
Owner is awesome! It’s always nice to meet people from Buffalo. Buffalo people are always good people! Telling everyone we know about this spot!

I am a proud New Yorker… and this place brings back so many memories of quality food and great people.
Eating a Sahlen’s dog, incredible potato salad, homemade potato chips and watching Hockey was awesome. Can’t wait until I can sit back and watch the Bill’s games and enjoy a dog and a few beers (Owner said liquor licence is coming soon)
HIGHLY recommend!

Found out about this place a few weeks ago and my girlfriend (who has family from Buffalo) and I were itching to try it.
Starting off with the negatives:
— Stopped by on a whim because we realized it was near by and had our dog with us so I pulled up the website on my phone and the menu was impossible to read. No problem, I went to go get a to go menu from inside (since they boast about taking it to go). Was told that they didn’t have any due to them being reprinted… ooookay, so i take a picture of the menu with my phone so that we can order.
— We are guessing the reason that the menus are being reprinted is because the prices are being raised (I posted a picture of the menu that I took and check out the website, in some cases a $ 1.50 increase on some items!)
— The food took about 15 minutes from when I ordered it to when i was able to walk out the door with my to go order which for an order of 2 hot dogs, and two orders of 8 wings (one mild, one honey bbq) seemed a little excessive but some of the frustration may have been to all the back and forth I had to do just to order.
— When the food was ready, they didn’t seem to have much of a system of getting it to people or having the people get it, even though they issue numbers when you order.
— Almost $ 12 a piece for a hot dog and 8 wings (no side, no drink) seems a little on the high side especially when one of the wings I got looked like it wouldn’t even make the cut on a 25 cent wing night at your local bar.
Okay, now for the good:
— All that being said, the wings were really good, they aren’t drowned in sauce, and they are nice and crunchy and overall very tasty.
— Hot dog was a quality dog, worth the $ 2.60, had a good taste to it with the charbroiled taste.
— I can see how if you were from Buffalo, that the inside of the shop would be pretty nostalgic, big mural of Buffalo, tv’s in the corners with sports on, and the smell of good food cooking.
Overall for where we live, I don’t know that we would make the drive all the way there just for hot dogs but we will certainly have added it to our list of place for when we are in the area.

I wish I liked hotdogs.
Great new place in the hood. The folks working here are great!
I got the Chicken Parm sandwich which is huge and slathered in cheese. It comes with a side order choice between some salad choices and or house chips. I ordered their house made chips which were okay. I do preface that though because I am very spoiled after eating the chips at Market by Jennifer’s. Those chips spoil you to all others. Lol
If you are form Upstate Ny stop by the digs are cool.
The prices are a bit spendy though. I will say I got two and I could have gotten three meals out of my sandwich.

Looking for lunch or dinner this place is great. Good food for a good price. I’ve tried several items on the menu since they open hasn’t disappointed yet. Friendly owner and staff. Make you feel welcome every time you go. Definitely recommend this place.

Good lunch stop. Still a new restaurant working out the bugs. The Beef on Week keeps me coming back.

Recently relocated to the Valley from WNY (i.e. Buffalo) we HAD to give this place a try, mainly because my husband wanted a Royal and Wings. I was hoping for Buffalo Chicken Fingers… they were still delicious, just not Buffalo Chicken Fingers. I’m sure we will return, if we don’t make it back East for a while. The atmosphere definitely felt like home!

I am not writing this review on the food at A Taste of Buffalo. I am reviewing the service. Why you ask? How can you review a restaurant with out tasting their food? Well… We (a party of 4) arrived at 6pm. We finally had our orders taken at 6:39. 1 foot long, ½ dozen wings and 1 beef on weck. I was told when I ordered it would take 20 mins for my food. The restaurant had a special gathering for Buffalo Bills Backers. At 7:09 I caught the eye of the food runner, held up our numbers. The runner came back and said you food will be right out. At 7:29 (50 MINUTES LATER) I went to the counter and said I would like a refund because I waited 50 mins and still did not get my food. The guy at the counter did not even check on my order… he just gave me a cash refund and said sorry.
Well… I can’t eat sorry.
Mike Juliano how can run a hot dog stand and waste 1:30 hrs of my life. You see patrons sitting for 1.5 hrs with no food and you can’t send out some chips, bread or frys gratis.
To sum up this review… we went next door to Cucina Tagliani Italian Kitchen. At 7:35 we had drinks, bread and soup. At 7:50 we had our entrees. WOW a real restaurant

Location: This place is right next to Cucina Tagliani in the same plaza as WinCo. Parking spots are easy to find as it is a private lot shared with other businesses. The dining area has a generous amount of bar stools, tables, and wooden booths. The entire place is spacious. One of the best places to accommodate large parties and families. There are two TVs for your entertainment. First, you place your order at the register. Then you can comfortably seat yourself wherever you please to wait for the food.
Food: The food exceeded my expectations. I decided to give this place a try because of all the rave reviews. Never have I ever had a beef on weck before. The owner explained what it was and how it was made. The beef on weck was bomb dot com. I love the kummelweck roll that had a nice mixture of salt and seeds. I dipped the roast beef into the au jus and was mind blown — savory and tender. The Philly steak was the best. The meat was tender and sauteed well with the veggies. Just a little warning that the sandwich does run on the cheesy side. I will have to ask for less cheese next time. The owner said that all the sides (onion rings, potato chips, and potato salad) were made fresh, except the french fries. Those potato chips I had today were legit — fresh and crunchy. Now I can tell the difference between homemade potato chips versus those from a potato chip bag.
Service: The owner was super welcoming. Judging by the amount of time it took to make our food, I can tell that everything is freshly made. I will be a returning customer!

Buffalo at it’s best, beef on weck right on, onion rings, wings, meatball sub top notch
Highly recommend, hope to serve beer soon, tvs for football too. Arizona has another winner!

This place is legitimate for back East neighborhood dinning. Maybe the help is a little too nice to call it authentic (eg they are very friendly). I ordered at the counter and they recommend the onion rings. Wow, the rings were great. Obviously made fresh on site.
The wings were high quality with the standard sauce choices, if you like wings you will be happy. I also did a half Phily cheesesteak. It was a big portion and tasted great. The bread was fresh, soft in the middle and crunchy outside, the meat had enough juice to soak into the bread and the whole thing was buried in melted cheese.
Perfect casual dining for the Everyman.

WOWEE!!! Their chicken wings are HUGE and MEATY and flavorful! WINNER WINGS!!! I like a little more sauce and will probably request just a tad tiny extra next time! There is plenty for most, I just like a bit more so, if you are like me, just request a little extra sauce.
The Philly steak is highly recommended, and probably one of the better ones we have had! The onion rings are hand breaded, not crappy frozen store bought ones! Very unique and very yummy!
OH, the hot dog! Crisp skin? Who knew? Not me! The skin is crisp! This hot dog is not your Ma Ma’s hot dog! It’s not even your Daddy’s hot dog on the grill in the back yard! Get one, or two, but don’t miss out on the other amazing food! Take one home instead!
I had a chance to chat with the owner for a few minutes. They moved here recently from Buffalo. The family moved her to fulfill dad’s dream. His dream will come true as far as I am concerned! This is truly family owned. The son and dad work it, and on the weekends, mom and grand kids help out too!
We will WITHOUT DOUBT be coming back for MORE, MORE, MORE!
Great job! Open only a few weeks and they have almost 20 awesome reviews… FOR A REASON PEOPLE!!!
Take NOTE that these awesome reviews are mostly from people who have LOTS of reviews, reviews that can be trusted, not just friends and family posting reviews! Give it a try!!!
LMAO at the one star reviewer! He must own a competing restaurant in the area! How can he complain of a BRAND NEW RESTAURANT having «old oil»??? How can he, the ONLY ONE, say that the food is «no good»??? FAKE REVIEW ALERT!!!

ALERT! ***********HIDDEN GEM********DISCOVERED!**************
This casual place has just opened and may be still in the tweaking stage but if you want the tastiest roast beef sandwich in town HERE IT IS!
The Signature Sandwich here is what they call a «Beef on Weck» that are normally only served in Buffalo N.Y. Technically it’s not 100% truly a beef on weck due to a few small picky details but it’s close enough for me and is one of the most delicious sandwiches in town. (beef on weck is hand sliced rare roast beef topped with horseradish and the bottom of the top weck bun is dipped in the au jus)
What makes this sandwich unique is the hard substantial roll that’s topped with caraway seeds and kosher salt called a Kümmel Weck Roll. They give you a BIG PILE of delicious great tasting roast beef, horseradish on the side and your sandwich is dripping with lots of tasty au jus. Your BIG MEATY Sandwich also comes with a side. We both had the delicious beef on weck sandwiches and shared the house made onion rings and the house made potato salad. Onion rings were ok and the eggy potato salad was very fresh tasting but a little on the bland side.
I dropped them a star for the wings. While they weren’t bad at all they just were edible. They might be still tinkering with the wing recipe.
This is a casual eatery. You order at the counter, seat yourself and they run the food out to you.
They serve mostly just a few varieties of sandwiches.
Beef on Weck, hamburgers, Buffalo made hot dogs, meatballs, local Peoria made sausage, coal cooked chicken, Italian sandwiches.
Portions are very large and prices are very low
