    Honestly the steak was good but the place was most definitely not worth the price to me , I’ve had better food at Olive Garden … the steak was the only good thing , $15 drinks tasted like something I could make at home , the Mexican corn was horrible , the truffle fries were not great either … very disappointing.. spent almost $300 for food that I could’ve gotten for $80 elsewhere … the shrimp had no flavor .. the wagu meatballs .. you pay like $17 and get 4 bland meatballs … the sauce was great but the meat itself was flavorless …

    The 12oz Wagu Strip was the best steak I've ever had. The oysters were delicous and a great assortment. They have perfected the steak as every cut was perfectly cooked and temperature was spot on for all. We had a party of (4) and everyone was very impressed with the food and experience. Ba&B is now my new favorite "steak joint" in Buffalo!

    This was our second visit to Black and Blue Steak and Crab but won’t be our last. Our meal was outstanding, beef was cooked perfectly, my husband also ordered crab and enjoyed it very much. He started with an appetizer of 4 oysters that he said were delicious. I also enjoyed my filet with Gorgonzola cream sauce—awesome! We were there to celebrate our 37th wedding anniversary and our server, Connie, treated us to a complimentary toast of champagne. Nice touch!
