I’m brand new to the buffalo area (Amherst) my power went out due a wind storm. Nothing near my house had power so I ventured a bit further. I’ve never felt so welcomed and at home. This bar was a local favorite and I’m glad I stumbled across it. Cash only with an atm. The staff was amazing and welcoming! The menu was surprisingly good too! Don’t overlook this diamond in the rough.

Came for a weekend and wanted something local. This was a nice place. A little slow but the food was good and the staff was friendly.

Great place to get a fish fry. But they get busy and it's very loud in the dining room. We parked in the street because the lot was full. The food was great. Oh, they are cash only.

Amazing place. Being in town for work, this is the place you want to go to. Small town feel, locals, amazing service and food. Actually, don't go there, so it doesn't pack the place for the rest of us visiting. CASH ONLY.

another fantastic spot right in Snyder. Great food and service comfortable atmosphere. A little bit loud at times. Lot of hard surfaces reflecting sound so it can be difficult to hold the conversation. But everybody’s there to have a good time very friendly community. Really enjoyed my visit. Chicken in the grass outstanding sandwich crinkle cut fries that generally depress me, because they’re always too damn hot on the outside and raw in the middle. this is not the case at Brunners. they are cooked perfection extra crispy outstanding. macaroni salad is not to be overlooked either.

Let me tell you something — Brunner’s Tavern isn’t just a place to eat; it’s a cathedral of flavor, a temple of hospitality, and on the night I visited, it felt like I was witnessing the culinary equivalent of the 2025 Notre Dame Fighting Irish storming the College Football Playoff. The moment I walked through those doors, the air itself tasted like victory. The hum of conversation mingled with the clinking of pint glasses, and I swear for a second I heard the distant echo of the Notre Dame Victory March. This wasn’t dinner — it was destiny. I ordered what can only be described as the Holy Trinity of Tavern Glory: 20 wings — crisped to perfection, tossed in a sauce so flavorful it could make a grown man sing the alma mater. A perfectly chilled beer, the golden elixir that felt like a celebratory Gatorade bath after a last-second game-winning touchdown. And a side of macaroni salad so creamy and balanced it deserved its own Heisman campaign. The wings arrived like an offensive line at full steam — powerful, unstoppable, perfectly structured. Each bite had the crunch of a goalpost shattering under a record-breaking field goal. The sauce, a flawless blend of heat and flavor, didn’t just coat the wing — it embraced it like Marcus Freeman embracing Sam Hartman after a fourth-quarter comeback drive. I almost looked around for the marching band to play me out. The beer? Oh, the beer. Cold, crisp, a pint of liquid confidence. This wasn’t just a beverage. It was like being in Notre Dame Stadium on a crisp October night, 80,000 fans roaring, the sky electric with possibility. One sip and I could practically hear the commentators shouting, “AND THE IRISH HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!” But the unsung hero, the offensive lineman of the meal, was the macaroni salad. Creamy, cool, with a perfectly balanced tang — it played its role like a left tackle protecting the blind side. It didn’t seek the spotlight, but without it, the whole experience wouldn’t have been the same. It was the Joe Alt
