Slowing Down

Yesterday I set the intention to slow down and go easier on myself, so I took a leisurely walk home from my training. I even treated myself to dinner from Rocco’s and ate it before I unpacked my bag or checked my mail.

Progress 🙏🏻

North End Bar & Grill

2692 Elmwood Avenue

Kenmore, NY 14217

There’s a new fish fry boss in town and it’s in Kenmore. We arrived at 5pm and our party of 10 was seated at 6:25pm. We were warned when we arrived that our wait would be considerable since there were multiple large parties ahead of us. The bar area to wait was fun and they had a good selection of beers on tap. The time went fast as we mingled with others waiting to be seated. One highlight was the Pabst Blue Ribbon hard coffee in a can. Our pleasant server Nadine greeted us promptly and made quick work of our drink order. Unfortunately, the kitchen was slammed on this busy Friday in Lent and we waited over an hour for our food. So you would think that would kill the review right? Well, when you are bringing out the holy grail of fish frys, you SHOULD wait as long as it takes... They featured a beer battered skinless haddock that had the most amazing flavorful batter. This fish was cooked to perfection. An absolute perfect 10! Broiled options included lemon pepper and cajun. Tonight’s broiled special was italiano featuring parmesan and bruschetta. Each fish dinner came with Cole slaw and mac salad. Mac was a unique elbow tuna mac. Delicious but under dressed (9). Cole slaw was also near perfection. Sweet and tangy with a hint of purple cabbage and carrot. Crisp and refreshing. They give you a choice of potato or rice pilaf (9). French fries were skin on fresh cut that were a tasty salty and crisp. (8) These are the most difficult fries to master in my opinion. Very often they are tasty but soggy. Not here! They were nice and crisp. They gave you a huge portion of them too! German potato salad was delicious but the sauce could stand to be thickened. Nice smoky bacon flavor and potatoes that were not too hard and not too squishy (9). For me the starch winner was the baby red potato salad. My only issue was there wasn’t more of it on my plate! (10) Tartar, like all the sides, were obviously home made. I think I detected a miracle whip base? Very tasty! No bread served but it wasn’t missed. They do not take reservations and the dining room is teeny tiny. Really great casual atmosphere though. I liked it a lot! Parking is on the street or in a TINY lot out back. So yes, the parking blows, the wait is long yet I’m already trying to figure out when I can get back there. Everyone sees the lists of Buffalo’s best fish frys and the usual suspects are always on there. North End has some of those heavy hitters beat. My overall rating of 9.5 should make any other restaurants on my list this year sweat. Plate. Clearing. Perfection. This one is going to be hard to top! Well done North End, well done indeed.
