We strive to live up to our name each day. Our philosophy here at Local Kitchen is to use all the resources we can from our hometown. Like our vendors from the Broadway Market who provide us with fresh produce. See the wood covering the bar and walls? We repurposed this wood from a barn we purchased in Clarence, NY that was built in the 1800s. We also love our traditions here in Buffalo! That’s why we are offering a weekly fish fry to bring this Buffalo tradition back to life. Come bring your friends and family each Friday to enjoy our twist on the famous Casey’s Tavern Beer Battered Cod. We love Buffalo and it is our priority to keep our restaurant as local as possible. We hope you will enjoy this ride with us!

    I've been here several times in the past and the food/service has been really good. For me, I think last night they were having an off night. There were 2 items that we ordered that the waitress came back twice, at least 20 minutes apart, to let us know and change our order. When food came out, there was an error in one plate. Trying not to complain, and again, think they were having an off night in the kitchen. Staff was nice. I would still go back in the future.

    I had the Cajun Broiled Haddock. Sides were very good. Cajun could have been more predominant, spicier. Selection of draft beers was impressive. Service was excellent, as always has been every time.

    PEOPLE. I would come back for the fries alone. They are SO GOOD. They also have a great selection of local draft beers and a very chill atmosphere.

    Relaxed, bright-lit Pub atmosphere, all high tables with bar stool/chairs. Wide-open, long room, but not noisy. Saturday night and had live music (guitar player doing covers). Food was yummy, bar food+ (unique chicken fingers + awesome NY Strip Steak). Awesome service with many smiles. Awesome selection of local beers and no hesitation to give tasting samples so you pick what you will love!
