Mandy's Cafe - Buffalo

This is the best shrimp dinner in town! It’s just as amazing as George Eddie’s was back in the '50s and '60s. You can choose from beer-battered, crispy, or pan-fried shrimp. Just a heads up, parking is limited.

The dining room has been nicely updated and is generally comfortable. The ambiance was enhanced by the warm glow of the fireplace and the faux candles on the tables. The inside of the exterior door could use a fresh coat of paint, but we were really there for the food. The menu was quite extensive, and this is where Mandy's truly stands out. The food quality is excellent, the portions are generous, and many dishes are homemade. The chicken tenders, made from real chicken breast with light breading, are handmade in-house. The hand-cut fries are small, crispy, and delicious. The chicken quesadilla was one of the best we've ever had. Plus, you can't beat their slice of cheesecake with cherries priced at just $2.75. The prices are fair, the service is above average, and we really enjoyed our dining experience overall. We'll definitely be back, as it’s clear that Mandy's values quality and value. Just remember to bring cash since they don't accept credit cards (there's an ATM on site). **UPDATE 1:** We stopped by a second time but it was busy, so we sat in the bar area where we had the bonus of watching the Sabres game. The service was friendly, and the food was just as tasty as before—consistently good. Plus, they offered free popcorn (yum). They also have special nights with deals like $0.50 wings. I’ve posted updated pictures of the bar and specials board. **UPDATE 2:** We enjoyed another wonderful meal. We like stopping by whenever we're in the area. The bathrooms could use some improvement, but the food remains fresh and feels like homemade cooking, if not better. Our server, Casey, was genuine and incredibly nice—efficient and quick, too. The fresh-cut fries are thin and delicious, and the portion sizes are great. **UPDATE:** On our latest visit, we wanted to dine outdoors and were pleasantly surprised to discover that Mandy's has outdoor seating and a small outdoor bar. The service was top-notch, the portions were still fantastic, and the prices were attractive. The homemade chicken fingers are quite large, reminiscent of a fish fry! The fresh-cut fries were tasty, and the BBQ chicken wings were pretty good, though I found the sauce a bit on the sweeter side.

The food was outstanding! It was my first time visiting, and I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was. The waitress was both friendly and professional. I will definitely be returning!
