This announcement raises an interesting question:

Have any of it's former regular customers ever received a reimbursement for the unused portion of Gift Cards that were sold by them prior to their closing last winter?

I for one can assure you that I have NOT despite several promises. Interested to know if anyone has ever received their reimbursement?

If no refunds have been paid one can only wonder how they can have the nerve to reopen and expect any former customers to frequent their establishment again. I for one will not go there.

How say you?

Question answered.

Looking forward to first visit at their new location. Never had a gift card from them so no beef on our behalf.

The origin and history of the beef on weck sandwich is not well established.[3] It is believed that a German baker named William Wahr, who is thought to have immigrated from the Black Forest region of Germany, created the kummelweck roll while living in Buffalo, New York.[3] Wahr may have based the kummelweck roll on a special loaf left as a ceremonial offering for the dead known in Swabia as Schwäbische Seele, which is a thin roll resembling a baguette that is topped with salt and caraway seeds.[4]

A local pub owner is said to have used the roll to create the beef on weck, with the thought that the salty top of the roll would encourage his patrons to purchase more drinks.

Yep my daughter did her post graduate work in Buffalo and when she visited we provided the beef she provided the kimmelwick. Like the reason for the wick , Anchor Bar also created its buffalo chicken wings in an attempt to get patrons to drink more beer.

Much of Upstate New York ,Rochester and especially Skeanatles and surrounding Skeanatles is famous for its fish fry (deep fried haddock)
Athens comes close to duplicating "Doug's " Fish Fry an enormous piece of deep fried haddock but Doug's is the champion

We received a refund only after numerous emails, postings on their Facebook page and basically being a pain in the rear end. We met the owner along with several other people on the corner in front of the old Athens. I don't care how good their food was. I will not patronize their new restaurant if that is how they treat their customers.

I never frequented the restaurant in SS, so maybe I will give them a try.

Looks like it will be close to the new gun range, that should drive some Village business their way.

Looks like only a few not going. We will be there in the fall, breakfast with out breaking the bank

I really hope that they redecorate the inside with some major upscaling. It's not very pleasant inside, the Silver Cricket left it the same as the Chinese restaurant before it. The BBQ joint was very seedy inside with booths that were very uncomfortable. This could be a very good location with great parking and would be a big plus added to our list of go-to restaurants.

KathieI - You said what I was thinking. The interior could be really nice, but now it's just dingy.

No problem here. We're always out and about. It's only a few minutes by car.
