Exit 2 Bar & Grille Brings Excitement to Tonawanda Dining Scene

A new gastropub featuring a wide variety of comfort foods — including delicious stuffed burgers and a daily haddock fish fry served five different ways — has opened in Tonawanda. Located at 3191 Eggert Road, Exit 2 Bar & Grille, which opened its doors on Nov. 15, hopes to celebrate with an official “grand opening” event in the near future.
