    We had reservations for 5 o'clock. We finally got drinks at 5:50. There were 8 of us for dinner which was good. Service was terrible. We didn't notice that it said on the menu gratuity MAY be added on tables of 6 or more. The waitress should have told us. Well lo and behold when we got the bill the gratuity WAS added. The service we received was definitely not worth the 20% gratuity. We won't go back.

    I work really hard to have someone dismiss me after paying 50 to 100 bucks in food only to not get cutlery napkins it was a bother to ask for them waitress gave me 2 cutleries.. lobster Mac had no lobster in it but 5 red dots !!! Wings barely any sauce 20 wings I know it was a long day but customer service should be at top notch for your establishment it's our local place my kids live here we love it here. The salad they nailed it but still gave my daughter a hard time for returning the Mac.. and they forgot our coconut shrimp !! I had to drive back for it smh come on do better..we work hard too ..for good quality food

    Went with a larger group of extended family. 7 adults, 1 very easy baby. Aside from hair in our food, everything was tasty. Portions are generous, to say the least. Most of us got a "side" of mac and only finished half of it, but definitely took the rest home. Service was just poor. I think we happened to come in at an awkward time where the dinner servers had not yet arrived and it was only the bartender available to wait on us, but that's not really our fault. Even still, the bartender was not busy so much as she was just more focused on her few bar patrons. Our table felt neglected, for sure. At the very least, our server's attitude stayed pleasant even when we complained about the hair in our food. Worth checking out the chain for the food alone, if it's up your alley. Very tasty and satisfying. Atmosphere is casual and fun. Have heard better reports from other locations.

    Another place with slower service because of lack of staff. We loved our server-bartender-prep cook - all in one. There had to be 7 tables and the bar and I’d say she handled it quite well. Food was amazing!

    First time visiting the Buffalo Area. Visited Mooney's in Tonawanda and it was a lovely establishment. Kiaralee was awesome, friendly, and professional. I plan on returning.

    Another great Mooney's location. Plenty of parking in back. Staff nice and friendly. Good comes out hot, took some time. But obviously fresh. Portions are huge.

    Ordered a Greek salad tonight and instead of chicken, added tuna! Serve a pita with that and I’ll never stop ordering it. 🤤😋🥰 What a fantastically fresh, crunchy, BIG salad! Incredible... 🥰❤️ Oh I wasn’t all that good, believe me... I ordered your original mac n chz and a side of fries. OMGosh!!! The mac was wonderful and can’t believe the fries are good even cold! (IF I had a complaint, it would be cold fries, but it is to be expected when ordering to go.). I was out-voted for the lobster mac, but will be ordering that soon. Looking forward to my next visit and making Mooney’s my new “go to” for take out. Athena’s killed an over 2 decade patronage for serving RAW fries with a to go fish fry last Saturday and wouldn’t correct the order after I had returned twice thinking they had just forgot to put them in the bag. Instead, smugly choosing to close before their stated closing hours (it was close to closing) to fix my order and threw in a “hun” for good measure as if that made everything better... their food is awful now and to match it, so is their customer service. Such a shame that whomever is running it now is running it into the ground. They were close and my “go to” for take out for a very large family. Mooney’s is equally as close, friendly, respectful and their quality and portions are far better, more than you could eat for lunch and dinner and worth every penny spent. I realize the pandemic has adversely affected most businesses, some use it an excuse for the poor product and service they dish out and then there’s Mooney’s, who proves them all to be just a bunch of fakes, intentionally taking people’s hard-earned money with their lies, lack of pride and disgusting product. Never settle for nasty! 🤢🤮🤑 you’ll only end up paying to throw away what should have never been served in the first place. Thank you for making my night. 🥰

    Local Tonawanda restaurant known for Fish Fry and Mac and Cheese. Pros: Close handicapped parking (when it’s not crowded). Indoor and outdoor dining. Variety of menu items and reasonable prices. Friendly service. Large portion sizes, good food. Clean bathrooms. There is a bar side and a restaurant/dining side Cons: Seating is close, couldn’t pull out my chair far cause other people where sitting next to me. This is a “bar”/restaurant so it’s kinda loud

    I ordered today at noon for a pickup at 4 for a birthday dinner at her request . We had a large order of a mini party pack. 20 wings and 2 whole size Mac and cheese . I arrived at 4:05 and they said they just dropped the wings because they didn’t “want them to get nasty”. The woman dena I believe her name is was extremely rude . If you don’t want the wings to get “nasty” drop them at a reasonable time for pickup instead of waiting until the pick up time . I received my food at 4:32 . So even calling four hours in advance they still couldn’t get it right. The wings were ok just very dry and the Mac and cheese was not as fresh as one would think but I’m sure that’s because it was sitting waiting for the wings. Very disappointed in the service and mediocre quality of the food. The food was 63 dollars so reasonable but definitely won’t be back

    PB&J chicken fingers are great! Korean BBQ chicken fingers were a let down. Buffalo Chicken Mac was good, not great. And their French onion soup was good. Staff was nice too.

    They are named home of the mac and cheese for a reason! Their food is always cooked to perfection and worth the price you pay. The variety of mac n cheese is unmatched anywhere in western new york. The staff is friendly and the place is very clean with a great atmosphere!

    We did takeout but the atmosphere appeared to be great. Service was great, we checked each item and re-bagged. Each item had changes and they were done correctly! Thanks!! This was our first time and will definitely be ordering again! Also want to have the eat in experience.

    Lost our business for good. We showed up for dinner after 7 pm on a Friday. Was told there was a wait, asked if we could sit on patio. We were told yes. Then someone comes storming out moments later with a nasty attitude and told us we weren't allowed to sit on the patio because the tables were dirty. Instead of cleaning them and providing customer service she chose to lose customers.

    Food is just a notch better than the service, and the service is top notch. Mac and cheese is amazing. Twenty five cent wing night is Tuesdays, I think. Half pound burger cooked perfectly. The location on Main Street in North Tonawanda beats the Union Road location like a rag doll. I've DoorDashed food from both locations. NT is still better.

    Stopped in n ordered the bomb mac n cheese n a roast beef sandwich w fries. The roast beef came out wasn't even warm n meat looked raw, sent out back to cook more. Then mac n cheese came out wasn't even warm! Told waitress she needs to tell people in kitchen to cook the food so it's hot! Horrible won't go back to this location. Will stick with The Mooney's on Military, so much better. Been to that one many times n never had the food come out not cooked n always hot.

    We went on Tuesday Trivia. Servers are nice and playing along with the trivia was entertaining. Our table was awkward and in a dark place couldn't see much of anything. The lobster Mac and cheese is very bland, I barely ate any, I took most of it home to try and add flavor because ketchup was about the only thing that I could use at the table to eat it. The consistency of the cheese is great but there were a few crunchy shells at that. The wings are cooked way to crispy to the point they are dry with very few good bites. We paid nearly $100 with tips and drinks. We had high hopes for a Mac and cheese bar around buffalo to have good Mac and cheese with wings but we were truly let down. The buffalo sauce and blue cheese is good, the portions are HUGE, however there is room for improvement on the food. Good family friendly atmosphere.

    Highly recommended!!! We were treated like Family! The staff was very friendly and very helpful. The other patrons were kind and nice. The Mac&Cheese, and Fried Bologna Sandwich were amazing and delicious. Thanks again for everything! 5 STARS

    Excellent food and service. Well worth the trip for gourmet selection of Mac n cheese. Who would have thought that Mac n cheese could be this good. 🤔 Definitely put this place on your regular go tos if quality and inexpensive food are what you are looking for.

  • 4/5 Eliazara C. 9 months ago on Google
    Food was pretty good, Mac and cheese portions always huge. Every TV showing a different channel, none with subtitles, so what's the point? They are distracting and too bright in a dark bar setting . I'm sure during football games and stuff, it's great.

    Fun environment, don't miss out on the trivia nights! Big servings

    Considering the challenges in the restaurant business today, Mooney's knows how to survive. With good food, large portions and friendly attentive wait staff. Be sure to bring your hunger, as you'll be leaving very full.

    I've been back several times, tonight is March 20th 2022. We ordered the stinger mac and cheese. That's chicken finger and steak. About a dollar's worth of steak and a dollar's worth of chicken finger. I think I'm all Mooney's mac and cheese'd out! They're going to blame being cheap on ingredients on the pandemic but that is over. Bring the meat back! They sell 2 sizes: individual and regular! Paid $19.56 for a regular stinger mac and cheese! Didn't receive the 0.44¢ change. No big deal until I got home and ate very small portion and my friend ate a big portion. There were no leftovers. I realized we were served the individual size. I feel I was overcharged by $5. I've given my money to this business too often and it's time to move on!! I've only ever gotten takeout here. The banana pepper soup I think that's what it is is excellent! The Soup Lady @ 412 Diner could learn a thing or two about this soup!! I've also had the Chicken Souvlaki salad which came with Pita bread which was very good!!

    The portions of Mac are HUGE! So if you're looking for a side dish, it's still the size of a meal and the meal portion feeds an army!

  • 5/5 Paul K. 2 years ago on Google
    To me, a very underrated place. They have an expansive menu and great drunk options. A rarity in Buffalo: stuffed pepper soup (😍) and hog wings. Great Mac and cheese as well. Just so many great menu choices, you could come here once a week and never run out of choices!

    The server was great, but she left and didn't tell us. Hope she was ok. The food was awesome! The little dish was lobster mac n cheese, the big bowl was Stinger mac n cheese, and we got a sampler platter. Everything was very tasty. I have to say the stinger mac n cheese was even better the next day. Heated for 90 sec in the microwave and it was perfect! Look forward to going back!
