Nichole’s Wanakah Grill

Great wings and great beers on tap. Jimmy the bartender is the best around. Two big screen tvs where you can always find a good game to watch. Hidden gem in Lake View NY. Love this place!

All I can say is, one of the best burgers in the area. Well worth it if you’re around.

Great fish fry. Loved the hot potato salad they had and the coleslaw. Great fish. Hear they are starting up smoking their own to compete with Desperados in angola. Interesting…

Found this place on Unilocal,we were originally going to the Root Five restaurant but once we had HORRIBLE service there and them changing their menu that day we decided to leave, and not being familiar with the area, Unilocal brought us here!
We were the only ones here, grabbed a seat at the bar and were greeted by the owner who was also our bar tender.
I took a walk around, it’s very large and the backyard and patio is really nice.
We ordered their house chicken finger BBQ finished on the pit.
Wow! They were HUGE! They were served with blue cheese and French fries.
They don’t have a huge menu, mostly pub food, I would most likely order the chicken fingers again of we ever go back. Not usually in that area, but if I was– I would go back.

Yes it is a bit out of the way, but definitely worth the drive. We arrived late on a Saturday night (9:30) and ordered up some chowder and a couple burgers. There was a good crowd in the bar but we were the only ones in the dining room. The soup was hot and delicious, but the burgers were fantastic! At least 8oz and charbroiled. Served on a fresh Costanzo’s roll with seasoned waffle fries. We were made to feel welcome by the gent behind the bar and he gave us attentive service. We can’t wait to go back. They have an outdoor pavilion and fireplace. Once they get that going it will be even better.

Fish fries on Friday nights in Buffalo are as iconic as the wings invented at the Anchor bar.
After coming to the area for years and having chosen some decent places to enjoy the Friday fish fry the family took us out to Nichole’s.
The first thing you have to get over is the feeling you’re being taken out to get whacked. Over the tracks, out in the oulying areas you really get a sense you might not be coming back. Then you pull up to what is clearly a recently renovated building and discover what is probably the best fish fry I’ve ever had in nearly 13 years of fish fries.
Checking in on FourSquare flagged Nichole’s as a dive, and as a Dive kind of guy, I would say that post renovation it’s much more accurately a joint. It has the very local feel and friendly staff that means you’ll get great service with a smile.
So brave the trip and enjoy the experience. It’s worth it.
