The Bar At Main & Hamlin

Travis Bohrer

My wife and I visited here on a Saturday afternoon. To start, I had a Moscow Mule and my wife had a Sam Adam's Octoberfest. Both drinks were delicious. For food, my wife had the shrimp tacos, and I had the smash burger with waffle fries. Both entrees were quite delicious. This is a fun place for family, friends, and couples to enjoy a nice drink and relax in a friendly pub style atmosphere. The servers are friendly and the atmosphere is pleasant. We will definitely visit here again.

A recommendation from Facebook and located right next to Bar-Bill Tavern. Every bite of the wing had a little crisp to it and we're full of juice giving them a score of 7.75/10 for how well they were cooked. The flavor was interesting for a medium sauce as it almost had a BBQ taste to it. The sauce was mediocre and it wasn't as close to a traditional flavor as I hoped for so I would give them a 5.25/10 for flavor. It would be a great choice if the wait at Bar-Bill is too long.

This place is absolutely awesome! My friend had the Captain crunch chicken sandwich, and I had the beef on weck! Literally the best beef on weck I have ever had! The slices are thin and plentiful all fats trimmed! You must try it you will not be let down. Also, our server was extremely friendly and it’s just an overall wonderful place. (She also told me that Hayburner beer has 400 cal and 20 carbs) 🤣 no wonder why it’s goooood! 🍻

Visiting from out of state and we were on the hunt for chicken wings. Had some a couple other places but the wings here were by far better than the others we had in Buffalo! A must stop if you’re looking for the perfectl chicken wings!

The wings have an incredible homemade sauce. We loved them and we are born and raised in Buffalo. You must stop here to give them a try. Bartender was fast... service great. Atmosphere is pleasant and not too loud. Great day to stop in and have lunch!!

Main and Hamlin absolutely crushed it last night. The service was fast, staff was all polite and food was great. 4 rounds of wings, 2 baskets of fries and an order of chicken fingers - all spot on. The waffle fries were probably the best I’ve ever had, the wings are crispy, not greasy and not overly sauced either. M&H is definitely the new wing spot.

Wings are just as good as Bar Bill's and don't forget to order the Mozzaluna! Smash burger was amazing as well..

Best place to go to in East Aurora. The owners are amazing and they did an amazing job remodeling the inside. Food is top notch, highly recommend the Chicken Crunch Sandwich, Smash Burger and of course the chicken wings with the best bleu cheese I’ve ever had. Definitely will be my go to place.

Our first time at this great spot. We got a table outside, server was friendly and attentive, we order street corn dip, chicken crunch sandwich and cajun bbq wings. Everything was delicious, prices and portions are very reasonable. I had a slushy that was sort of a Blue Piña Colada and it was really good too. Will definitely come back and recommend!!

The food is fantastic! My husband said it's the best beef on weck he has had in WNY! and the wings are excellent as well. I had the crunchy chicken sandwich and was not disappointed. Although it is small and at times cramped we had a chill time on the enclosed patio and the servers were prompt and attentive. Will definitely be going back!

I am still DREAMING of the habanero wings! My boyfriend and I were originally planning to go across the street for dinner but after finding out the waitlist was EIGHTY ONE people long we decided to give Main & Hamlin a shot. The hostess and wait staff were kind, personable and friendly! They definitely knew how to do their jobs well and were appropriately attentive. The wings were amazing!!!! Which honestly says a lot because they are across the street from a very famous wing spot. I will most definitely be returning!! The habanero flavor was not only spicy but had really fantastic flavor. I didn’t feel like it was just burning my mouth. We also go the cajun bbq which were fantastic and helped balance out the spiciness of the habanero. The beef on weck was a good size and had great flavor as well. All of the food coming out looked great! Put this on your list!

I came up to watch The Bills play the Titans last year in 2024. My best friend, who resides in West Seneca, took me to your place and DAMN, it was good! Best Buffalo wings I’ve EVER!!!! Had Can’t wait to come back .

100% best wings in NYS. Possibly even in the milky way galaxy?? Seriously, name a better place. Great vibes, where would you rather be then here on a beautiful Friday / Saturday night on the patio.

Good spot! Glad I finally tried it. Wings were great. Beef on weck was great. Of all the wing flavors we had, the garlic parm hot were the least impressive. I'd skip them. The hot was good (not super hot by my standards, or compared to bar bill's hot), Cajun and lemon pepper were also good. Skip the regular fries, they were unimpressive but the waffle fries were great

The BEST wings you can find, in the wing capital of the world, they do it the best.....great atmosphere, amazing staff, and the wings......a must stop for all wing aficionados

This was our first time at Main and Hamlin and I was very impressed. Greeted by everyone that worked there . Waiter was very nice and helpful in pointing out drinks. Food was delicious 🤤. I had the chicken crunch sandwich and my husband had the smash burger. Price was very reasonable. Definitely on my list to go back to 👍🏻

Initially went here because there was a long wait at Bar Bill's but honestly I'd rather come here most of the time. A lot roomier and the food is just as good

We were in E. Aurora with some friends and wanted to sit outdoors with the nice weather, so we settled on M&H. On arrival, it was bustling with activity and all of the outdoor seating was full. Fortunately we got lucky and a table opened up along the side of the building (on Hamlin Ave). It was a table meant for (4) but we had (6). Our server (James) was great and he and the team quickly wrangled up a couple extra chairs. The service was fantastic and the drinks nice and cold. We did have some hot Cajun wings that were pretty delicious. Certainly one of many great spots to consider when you are in E. Aurora. There are some other great spots all in walking distance, if you want to hop around or do your own pub crawl etc. UPDATE: We stopped in again with our crew and had a great time. They had live entertainment which was cool (karaoke).

Amazing! Great beer selections— blue light and Busch what more could a girl want. Loud but energized. Lively for the Friday after Thanksgiving. More busy than usual— perhaps youth is wasted on the young.

Finally went to one of East Aurora popular restaurants. Cool atmosphere and excellent service! The Cajun barbecue wings were very good. Unfortunately the beef on weck was not what I expected. The serving was ample but that was the only positive. The beef was on the tasteless side and the kimmelwick roll was dry and stale. Shame on me for not saying something to our server, but I don't make a fuss unless the issue is extreme. The experience certainly didn't live up to the reputation! Quite pricy too for 1 beef on weck and a single wing order and a fried pickle app.

We stopped in at about 6:50 pm on Sunday evening, hostess said they close at 7 so no more food service. We said that’s fine, we are only having a drink as we had reservations somewhere else. We stood at the bar and we were completely ignored by the bartender despite the fact that one of the wait staff informed him that we were there. After 10 minutes ( now it’s 7pm) he approached us and said “we’re closing “ and wouldn’t serve us a drink. Meanwhile there are still at least 15-20 people finishing dinners and drinks! No way to treat customers!!! Sorry we won’t be back
