The Flaming Fish

Name: The Flaming Fish
Address: 535 Main St, Buffalo
Telephone: +17163225480

Broadly speaking, seafood comes in two forms here: the breaded and deep-fried variety (the shrimp po' boy is a popular item on the sandwich board, and haddock filets are a serviceable approximation of the Friday fish fry Buffalonians have been enjoying for generations) and as fresh, flavorful fish tacos, which are really the standout item on menu. Prices are fair, customer service is second to none — about the only bad thing you can say is their website exaggerates about the variety of offerings for folks who don't like seafood (choose between quesadillas and a steak hoagie in that case).

D'Avolio's Kitchen
The downtown location of this local chain of gourmet food shops also includes a restaurant with a menu of build-your-own salads, pizzas, antipasto plates, and sandwiches. Service is fast-casual style: you're given a laminate-surfaced menu board and a dry-erase marker, and you mark off your preferred ingredients (bread/pizza crust/salad base, one or two meats, one or two cheeses, veggie toppings, and condiments). A soup du jour and seasonal fruit bowl comprise the somewhat limited selection of appetizers and sides, and drinks include a wide range of hot and iced teas and a more modest selection of beer and wine. The food is prepared with time-tested Old World techniques that bring out the subtle flavors of the ingredients, and portions are large.

Jerk's
An old-school malt shop, ice cream parlor, and soda fountain done up in a charming throwback 1950s style, serving up a wide and creative selection of milkshakes, tasty hand-mixed flavored sodas, specialty sundaes, and other treats — and for the New York crowd, Jerk's is the only place in town where you can find egg cream.
