Good prime rib dinner

My husband and I had dinner at Eckl's in Orchard Park this evening. I had gotten a gift certificate a few months back and we finally got an opportunity to use it. The service was fast and friendly and the food was really good. We both had prime rib, which is only served on Saturday and Sunday. They are also noted for their beef on weck sandwiches; we will have to try those next time.

Their house salad, made with a hot bacon dressing is good, and I tried one of their signature cocktails, a raspberry sour, yum!

Eckl's, 4936 Ellicott Road, Orchard Park, 662-2262. They are open daily 4:30-9:30.
