If you are looking for cheap and delicious seafood, you
might want to check out Boston Hotel’s Steak & Crab House! They are located
in 5555 Genesee St, Lancaster, NY 14086 in
a small neighborhood. They primarily
serve lunch and dinner with prices ranging from ten dollars to fifteen.
The main attraction of this is their Monday night
specials where customers can order a dozen of clams for less than two dollars, chicken
wings for fourty-nine cents and crab clusters for less than four dollars. The
prices are so cheap that it attracts a lot of people on a Monday night. Their
Monday night specials begin at 8pm to 12pm. Although the place is primarily a
bar, the restaurant serves as a hotspot for many college undergrads and
graduates. The restaurant part of the establishment has three large rooms, they
are usually filled with people on a Monday night; the wait was usually around
25 minutes to 45 minutes. Another downside is that those who came in groups
were unable to be seated until their friends had arrived.
During the wait, one can take in their environment and décor
of the restaurant. The restaurant was nicely decorated in dark wood that gave
it a woodsy bar feel. The tableware however was horrible in my opinion, a
majority of the forks were bent, and they served their beverages in clear tiny
plastic cups while charging for the full amount. The rooms were moderately lighted
with at least two televisions in the corners of every room.
The only thing that makes me ignore all these cons is because
of their food. I personally love their crab clusters, raw clams, mild wings and
especially their oyster appetizers. The only con about their food is that the
clams usually are not cleaned thoroughly. There tends to be sand on the clams. On
the tables are the usual lemon juice, vinegar, hot sauce, ketchup, napkins and paper
plates. They served their seafood with melted butter on the side. The
waitresses that served the food and took my orders were very friendly and
diligent I personally never had any trouble with them. I like that they always
refills the condiments before the next person is seated at the table unlike
some other restaurants that I have been to in the past.
As a regular
on Mondays I usually order the two crab clusters, a dozen raw clams, an appetizer
and maybe a dozen wings. This restaurant is not a place for quiet dining, nor
is it a place for those with children. Another con about this place is that
they do not accept credit or debit cards; only cash. However, they do have an
ATM at the side of the room near the bar, but from experience it was always
broken.
Despite all
the cons, Boston Hotel’s Crab & Steak House is still a favorite of mine in
buffalo when it comes to cheap eats on a Monday night. I would recommend that for
those who are interested go get there earlier if they do not want to wait as
long for seats. Enjoy!
