Mothers Restaurant - (716) 882-2989

My sister would rave about this place-so finally i went there. ehh it was ok the first time; but when my boyfriend, myself and another couple went to go eat after going to a bar down the street on a sat. night at 1am- they took one look at us and claimed that the "we just closed the kitchen.." , which is fine considering most restraurants aren't open at that time, and actually serving food-but this place is KNOWN for being the one great place you can go for a steak into the wee hours of the night; and all they did was look at us, then look around [the dining room was basically empty besides one table a couple was sitting at-but there was a full bar] and say, kitchen's closed. I guess I'm getting a little worked up for them just saying that; but this place has a huge reputation for cattering to the night life scene and on a saturday they were not interested in helping us at all-and did it in a rude sort of manner. Basically all I'm saying is that after that incident it put a horrible taste in my mouth and I don't think I'll be going back there until they clean up their act. I felt insulted and made a fool of when I claimed they were a great place to grab a bit to eat. ... BIT MISTAKE

There seems to be a pattern here with all of these reviews. One I myself,sad to say knows all to well. Let me start by saying I have been going to Mothers s for about 15 years or so and never in all those years have been treated as rudely(lack of a better word) as I was treated by my waitress a few months back. First of all dinner started with the 4 of us sitting at our table,ungreeted for around 20 minutes or so. When she finally did arrive of corse an apology was obviously beneath her or so she acted. We order a few bottle of wine,waited another 20mins. til she finally came back and took our order. The next time we saw her was when she came over to ask us to keep it down and that if we continued to be loud she would have to ask us to get our food to go.WHAT??!!!! First of all we were seated outside, second it was ten thirty at night on a monday,and third if she had been by our table once she would have herd that it was the table of five gentlemen next to us making all noise. I wish i could recall this servers name to warn anyone else who is planning on having a fun night out @ Mothers with their friends that they may want to request a new server in case they get sat in this awful persons section. Unless your planning to spend alot of money only to have your night ruined the way she did ours.All i can do is vaguely described her, skinny with short dirty blond hair and a terrible attitude from the get go.I think after being a 15 patron of Mothers,the only place you will find me in there is at the bar were they know how to treat people who are willing to spend the money for good service.

I have been to Mothers many times before, and I was never a big fan. It's one of those Buffalo establishments that people just keep going back to. I guess that's why they feel that they can treat people so badly. I took my fiance and my friend out for a joint birthday dinner with a group of couples. I told the waiter before all of this that we had two birthdays here, and I was planning for a piece of dessert for my friend and fiance with a candle. He completley ignored me! Anyway, we ate our appetizers, ordered bottles of champagne, and all got entres. I went to the bathroom at the end of the meal. When I came back to the table I saw everyone was upset. My pregnant (obviously not drinking ) friend was telling a manager that he was rude and unprofessional to tell us they were "flipping tables". They actually had the nerve to tell us to leave so they could bring in another group instead!!!! They made us leave before we even had any chance to order dessert or coffee. Then they had the nerve to escort us out - like we had done something wrong! I will never go there again!!!!!
