Kodiak Jacks - EAST AURORA

Food was excellent, I had the prime rib sandwich. The place is a little dated but cute.

I keep asking myself why I don't come here more often. Over the years, I have never had a bad meal at this place. Plus, if you're just stopping for a drink, the bar has always been pretty fun always a nice group of locals, down to earth folk here. The menu was a really good mix of options with plenty of choices for everyone, no matter what you're in the mood for. Located just a short hop outside of East Aurora, I always find it's worth my drive from Williamsville to do a little shopping in town and grab a lunch or dinner at Kodiak Jack's. My latest choice was the prime rib and stuffed hot pepper sandwich. It was some of the most tender prime rib I have ever had on a sandwich. Chicken wings were half price, so we started with wings as an appetizer to split between us. The wings had a nice light crisp on the outside, and were tender and juicy on the inside. Perfection. Portions are hardy, there's no skimping here. If you're looking for a new restaurant option and want to turn it into an afternoon, drive on out to East Aurora and see some of the most beautiful shops and have a lovely meal.

New to me restaurant in East Aurora. (but closer to the Marilla town line . This is a solid 4 star place for the following reasons ... Pros 1. The prices all very reasonable 2. Very nice patio with heaters 3. The delicious roast beef dinner I got with homemade mashed potatoes . Perfect comfort meal! Cons 1. Service was slow(ish and they couldn't do separate checks as there was only 1 server for the entire patio on a Friday night . 2. My side salad was weak even had that core of the romaine lettuce in it . I barely ate any of it, but didn't like the soup option (Manhattan clam chowder to send it back that night . 3. My friend's steak sandwich was lackluster, but everyone else seemed to like their food . I'd go back to try something else on the menu but man that Roast beef was so good , maybe I would just get that again!

I came with a fairly large group, if memory serves correctly, there were 7 in our party. We enjoyed a seat on the patio while the weather was still warm sunny. There was ONE server for the entire patio and since several tables had 3+ guests, that server ran, all night long. I wish I could say I enjoyed my Grilled Prime Rib Sandwich (Served on a Toasted Garlic Hoagie, Topped w/ Our Signature Cheese-Stuffed Hot Pepper Provolone, w/ a Side of Au jus) but the meat was fatty, there wasn't much garlic on the roll and overall, I was less than impressed for the price I paid. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their entrees. Like I said earlier, our server was busy the entire time we were seated, so I was bummed that I was finished with my beverage by the time the food arrived and I was nearly done with my meal before another drink was brought to the table... By the time I finished my second beverage, we were being asked to leave the patio for another party (the server was polite about it, but it was a shame to end the evening like that).

We came here on a Friday and boy, was it busy. We heard great things about this place and had to try it for ourselves. Well, we still had to wait about 30 minutes. The food and service were well worth the wait We came here initially for the fish fry, But I ended up going for the fried shrimp with German potato salad, and it was beyond delicious. The shrimp were perfectly fried, not the greasy at all very easy to eat, and the German potato salad had the right amount of apple cider vinegar to bacon flavor that just made it to die for, the fish was perfectly fried not greasy at all and my husband just completely devoured the macaroni salad and German potato salad too. Our server was absolutely friendly and checked on us to make sure we were OK. The ambience is very warm and welcoming and a great place to have a the party definitely will become regulars here. Great job, Kodiak Jacks.
