Flat's Grille: Red Hot Buffalo Flat

Our first entry brings us to Flat's Grille, located on Grand River, crossing Bailey St. Flat's is known in town as one of the more affordable, yet delicious, options for dining. Many alumni frequent the restaurant when visiting for various school events. In general, it is considered an American food staple, though some of their menu items closely resemble what you would find in a Mexican restaurant. 

Our focus shifts to the Red Hot Buffalo Flat, currently on special at Flat's. It has been so popular that the restaurant might want to keep it around as a fixture on the menu. Priced at $4.50, there is a lot of bang for your buck here.

Don't let the name fool you. While this quesadilla style sandwich has a bit of a kick, it is certainly not "red hot" as its name suggests. The "hot" sauce is relatively mild, but it complements the buffalo wing meat nicely. The flat comes standard with cheese and lettuce, though Flat's provides a wide array of toppings that can be added for a small fee.

According to Flat's employee Sarah Grigg, 20, the Red Hot Buffalo Flat is ordered more than any other.

"It is extremely popular with the younger customers," Grigg said. "It is amazing how many of these we will make in day."

The Buffalo Flat can stand alone on the dinner plate, as it is very filling.  I would highly recommend the Red Hot Buffalo Flat.
