  I couldn't believe how slow this place was. I guess Buffalo's Courtyard Restaurant needs a fully functional courthouse to fill it (the old courthouse closed and moved across Niagara Square). I can't understand why that is. The food they cook up has my verdict -- Guilty! (of being delicious) -- and I can't figure why not a whole lot of others aren't there to agree with me.
  
  I had the chicken souvlaki omelet. I'll be honest with you when I say that I felt like it was tossing my money out of the window by ordering it; I have had so many good chicken souvlaki's in my day that I didn't think it was going to be good, but it was. The chicken pieces were really juicy and marinated nicely. The home fries were a different story: they tasted like they may have been deep fried and weren't seasoned properly. All in all, however, it was inexpensive and it lived up to my standards.
  
  Expect some really nice service here. That's what I found and I figure you will too.

  Went to this little spot because a friend recommended it to me and it was a tiny bit busy, not too many people. I ordered home fries and pancakes which they unfortunately don't come with the option of adding anything. I got my food about 10 minutes later and WOW. The food was so bad. Literally no flavor whatsoever in the pancakes, home fries, and not even when I added the syrup to the pancakes. The pancakes tasted like the freezer kind you can just put in the microwave and the homefries weren't even home fries, they were very unseasoned fries. Not even any salt or pepper! My "home fries" got loaded with salt and pepper because it was so bland. I thought they would have some type of flavor but no. I didn't even want to eat the food it was so disgusting and tasteless. I took it anyways because I had to pay for it. The waitress never even came by our table to ask how was our food and if we needed anything. We finally got a check which took a while because we were literally sitting at the table not touching our food for about 15 minutes. We went to the cashier and oh my gosh it took forever JUST to cash out. I feel as honestly I could've just walked out and saved my own time.
  
  I would never recommend this place to anyone, avoid it!!!! The only reason they have 2 stars bc I got a free birthday card near the cashier. Otherwise, do not go here. Food is disgusting and bad service.

  Don't go by yourself. Staff will not want to sit you on a table. I was next for a table when I told the 1st waitress no so another one came over to ask me again to move to the counter where the only space was in a corner with half of the space taken by tbe guy already sitting. I decide to leave. By their actions it was obvious they don't need new customers.

  Who knew this place existed?!? I work a couple feet from this place and apparently am the last person to find out about it because I recognized every face in there.
  
  This place is tucked away inside the Fernbach parking ramp just a few steps from Family Court. The service was great.
  
  It's a casual spot, conveniently located, serving up classic diner food. People love it even if it is light on vegan options.

  I went there for lunch.  You seat yourself (no sign at the door).  We sat down for maybe 5 minutes  and finally the waitress came up to us and said be right with you. Lucky we took a menu with when we sat down because she finally came and took our order. When she did finally bring our food we didn't have any silverware so of course she finally brought it over.   Didn't apologize for the wait.  She wasn't very nice.  Never said thank you or how was your lunch.  I had the  chicken souvlaki $8.99.  They only gave you 4 pieces of chicken.  It was good but they could have given me a few more pieces.  It was loud and busy.
