Growing up in North Buffalo, I must’ve driven by The Steer on Main Street at least 1,000 times before I ever went there.In college, it was known as the UB bar. I remember not even realizing they had a dining room.
You go in and you’re immediately greeted with a large rustic wooden bar and open kitchen in the back. The dining space is located in a separate room with a fireplace and string lights adding to the warm living room-like atmosphere.
I think my favorite part of the menu has to be their craft burgers. You pick your patty- veggie, beef, chicken or shrimp – and choose from an array of topping combinations. My favorite is the Balsamic: caramelized onion, mushroom and mozzarella which I sometimes sub for goat cheese. Dave likes the Elvis with peanut butter, bacon, honey and banana. Before you knock it, try it! It’s surprisingly good.
Then I discovered the best salad I’ve ever had a few weeks ago – arugula, pan seared goat cheese, peppered tofu, caramelized pears, carrots, pomegranate seeds and balsamic dressing. Sadly, it’s on their specials menu so I’m hoping it stays for a while. To this day, I put pomegranate seeds in my salad at home now!
