It's all Greek to us, and Acropolis OPA does it better than most in Buffalo! We're not really sure why there's rarely a wait at this delicious dining establishment, but we're certainly not complaining – and you won't be either after you take a look at their menu!
Think you're in deep you-know-what for forgetting to book your reservations for the night? Think again! Deep South Taco almost always has room for more, thanks mainly in part to their two patios and spacious indoor seating options. Order the nachos, and thank us later for the tip.
716 is another hugely popular Buffalo restaurant with a huge amount of seating space, which is mainly why there's never much of a problem finding a table (unless you come on game night). If there happens to be a wait, don't fret. Just pull up a seat at the bar and kill some time watching sports on one of their many big-screen TVs!
