Lake Shore Cafe 3255 Lake Shore Road, Blasdell, NY 14219

"The Italian beef sandwich was advertised as top 10 in wny and they ain’t lying. Great flavor and texture in every bite. Perfect amount of cheese. Fry’s came out great. Asked for seasoned and they were perfect. Service was fantastic. Made sure everything was great and quick. Will definitely be back"

"Nice location (I’m from out of this county and we think of it as Lackawanna instead of Blasdell) and the interior is pretty and relaxing. It seems a bit small, but that means the customers get more attention. All the employees are friendly and genuine. I’d like to bring my mom here for their Friday fish specials, but we were here on a quiet Saturday afternoon. We had the Prime Rib sandwich special. It was very flavorful. The picture doesn’t look like much because we had our soup or salad side before the entree. I am a big eater and this sandwich kept me full the rest of the day. Great food, crafted with care. Some entrées have a vegetarian option. The place was impressively clean."

"Came here for the first time after wanting to try it for some time. Service: Initially we were one of two couples, but by the time we left we were one of five. There was only one server who was doing everything, even a take out order. She was so sweet and very attentive. Even with so few tables I’ve seen terrible service elsewhere and she was definitely great! We were seated immediately on a Monday night. Atmosphere: Very small but cute space. It’s kind of a little awkward especially when there’s so few people. People could hear everything we were talking about. The bathroom is so close that if you used it the entire place could hear you haha. But it’s very updated and clean. Menu: The menu is smaller in comparison to most restaurants in the area. While the food itself is not unique…the selection for the entire menu seems disjointed and doesn’t really have a flow or central type of food it focuses on. It’s kind of all over the place and we had a hard time figuring out what to get. It seems like a strong Sandwich and salad menu which fits the cafe theme but then everything on there seems out of place. Not at all a negative, just an observation. We couldn’t bring our daughter here and she wouldn’t eat anything on the menu, and she’s not even a picky eater. The food: My fiancé and I tried the onion petals. I think they’re over priced for what you get and ours were a bit too well cooked. I don’t think BBQ sauce should accompany them, a blooming onion type sauce would be much better. They’re alright, I would probably not get them again. My fiancé loved his side salad with ranch, I had a taste and everything was VERY fresh. I got a French onion soup…and the hype on the menu did not live up to the taste. It wasn’t too salty, however the salt overpowered any flavor. I prefer there to be a richer flavor then to have overwhelming salt. It was good and I would likely get it again but I have had much better. I also like that they don’t upcharge for this as your side like most places do. My fiancé absolutely loved his burger. Zero complaints. I got the chicken fajita wrap and was a bit disappointed. The plain chicken had a little char flavor…but it didn’t taste fresh…almost like frozen chicken thrown on a grill? I could be wrong… it I didn’t get the fresh taste from It. The peppers and onions were either frozen from a bag or they cook them far earlier in the day and add them quickly at the end when they cook the chicken as they were very mushy. I don’t think mine even had any cheese in it. The flavor was meh. Overall: I would come back and try some new items but I won’t rush back or make this a regular spot for take out. But I think it’s worth an extra shot and has potential."

"I have driven by this location countless times but never went in. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in, the inside is completely updated and super clean! The food was tasty, service was friendly. I didn't get a picture of the appetizer: bacon wrapped onion peels, but oh wow! A great tasting bite! Price point is competitive/reasonable. Definitely recommend and would come back!"
