This business has earned a special place in my heart. The quality of ingredients, impeccable flavors, simplicity of dishes and effortless execution all make it one of my favorites places to dine in Buffalo. Cuts served here are fresh from butcher shop next door and is sourced locally. The service is always top tier and I can say I always leave full and happy. Stop in and check them out!

One of our best lunches in Buffalo! The roast beef sandwich wasn’t huge, but the flavor was amazing. And the roll! Wow! The staff was friendly and happy that you’re there. We can’t wait to go back again soon.

Spectacular. Cuban sandwich, spicy shrimp toast, and Spanish potatoes were heavenly. The beef skewers were insanely tender. The place was packed and for good reason. Buffalo gem.

If you really enjoy good sandwiches. Roast beef, a Cuban this is a must stop. Do you like going somewhere not overbearing that puts the quality of the food first? This is a must stop. In fact if you are reading this, and not currently traveling to Moriarty's you are listening,and are making a huge mistake.

Charming space with vintage accents, tapas, pintxos (snacks) wines, teas, etc. Many of the dishes feature products from Moriarty Meats, which is attached.

Awesome roast beef sandwich, no au jus needed, moist and delicious. Pays to get there a few .minutes before noon as lunch crowd rolls in.

Delicious! I wish I had taken a photo of this burger before I devoured it, it was grilled to perfection! I've had a lot of burgers in my lifetime, but honestly, I don’t think I’ve really experienced a burger until now. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this place is an absolute must try. Add it to your list, your taste buds will thank you!

My favorite Beef on Weck in Buffalo. And that's saying something, because I adore Charlie the Butcher's sandwich.

We got a beef on weck and a French dip, both were delicious

I had a great lunch at Cafe Bar Moriarty's. The chicken salad delicious. It was light and fresh for a lunch. We also got the potato salad as a side which was super delicious. I've never had a potato salad like it and could have probably eaten a gallon. Haha. I'm excited to go back next time I'm in Buffalo.

The service, food and atmosphere is everything you could ask for. The server went over the whole menu with me including the specials. I got the cheeseburger and it was very tasty. I also, like the suggestion on the table to daydream or write in a notebook. I partook in a meditation by the window.

Finally stopped in for lunch for the first time after wanting to go for months. I had the house burger, which was exactly what I imagine when I think of the perfect burger. My husband had the beouf on weck, which was also great. Their house unsweetened iced tea was really nice - not the typical black tea you might think of. The atmosphere was very comfortable with plenty of seating, and the staff were very kind.

I had the most delightful and decadent lunch last week with a friend. We felt that we were in another place (which is a good thing); to be at home but somewhere else- it had a small Parisian cafe feel to it. Small delicious plates, good wine and warm, knowledgeable service

Moriarty Meats just gets better each time we go. The addition of the cafe is a real game changer and Chef Andrew is producing some amazing dishes. Extremely friendly staff and the butcher shop is the best in Buffalo!

Moriarty's is one of the top lunch spots in Buffalo, hands down. I love grabbing something from their rotating menu along with a tapa or two and a vermouth spritz or beer. The icing on the cake is wandering over to the butcher shop after to grab provisions for the week or a special meal to cook at home.

Love the cute little atmosphere with inside & outside seating. I ordered the burger which was DIVINE! Literally, the best seasoned burger I’ve probably ever eaten. I deducted the 1 star due to the $20 cost (burger & bottled Arnold Palmer), because it didn’t include fries or chips. I’ve never paid $15+ bucks for a burger that didn’t have fries or even a pickle on the side nor did that include bacon which was $2 extra. Place is great, food is great, prices could be a bit lower.

The staff were very nice, but the beef on weck was small (a little bit larger than a slider) and cold. The roll was dense and lacked the flavor you expect in a kummelweck. For $14 with no side the sandwich was disappointing. Also they have signs encouraging people to stay off their phones but the music was so loud I couldn’t hear / talk to my partner without raising our voices.
