Open during the storm. ohh you mean that is because gas lines are underground and not affected by falling tree limbs? ohh if only our power lines could do the same... ;)

I only was here once, many years ago now, but it was quite delightful. I think the truth of "feeling like you found lost friends" happens anywhere in Buffalo but you need to get outside of the Elmwood Village area to really feel it. Those blue collar neighborhoods where pretensions melt away are the places were the joe next to you can be your new best friend. Whether it is CPG's, The Golden Key or The Swannie House, these places are the melting pot of our city and those places were people don't care what you wear or if you are new there or been there for 30 years.

Great Place. Born and raised in South Buffalo......unfortunetly I haven't been here in years.

Simple, clean, big portions, the kitchen takes pride in the dishes they send out. Hanging out at the bar feels like you are among all of your lost friends.

Skip Applebees or TGIF, you've been there a hundred times. Definetly worth checking this place out. Local does matter!

The Blackthorn is a true South Buffalo Gem. We eat there quite often and they have some of the best food around. The crab cakes are to die for and the beer cheddar soup is the best! It is nice to see that they are going to be expanding, I know business warrants it because sometimes people are waiting out the door for their food! They were even open for dinner during the October Storm! What a life saver!
