Have visited multiple times. Wings and chicken fingers were great, quesadilla was so, so yummy! They have theme nights, excellent live band on Tuesdays (there is a cover) and other theme nights that I haven't attended yet. Small establishment but great atmosphere.

We were visiting from out of town and wanted to have an authentic Buffalo experience so we stopped in for the wings and fish fry and they did NOT disappoint! We had the whole experience including live music and locals yelling at each other about sports Everything was flavorful and delicious and the fish, fries and wings were fried to absolute perfection You should absolutely stop in if you’re looking for something local and worth your money!

My husband and I went out to eat here on Friday to try their fish fry and it was excellent. The breading was unique and crispy and it didn’t taste like it was old gross fryer oil. The bar attendant was friendly and attentive. It’s a somewhat small place, I don’t believe their is actual waitresses, just order at the bar and they’ll bring you the food if you’re at a table. Overall a decent place for bar food with a great fish fry.

We’re back in town from Vegas and had to make a stop at CPG. We asked for extra pit on the wings and they were great!

We had an absolutely amazing experience at this spot! Our burger and fries were cooked to perfection and seasoned so well — honestly, you don’t even need any condiments to enjoy them Every bite was just WOW. The flavors were on point, and the fries were crispy and golden, making the meal completely satisfying. The staff was fantastic too Super friendly and attentive, which really added to the experience. The whole vibe of the place is so relaxed and homey You instantly feel comfortable, like you’re just enjoying a meal at a friend’s house rather than a restaurant. I can’t wait to come back again! The combination of incredible food, great service, and a cozy atmosphere makes this spot a must-visit. Definitely putting it at the top of my favorites list!

Early lunchtime. Was the only one in the place so service was excellent. Discovered CPG 18 months ago(this was my 3rd visit). Must stop whenever I'm in the area. Chicken wings are fantastic.
