“I just love seeing people enjoy food.”
For 35 years, Randy’s Up The River has been serving up wings, burgers and more without ever closing.
Owner Randy Korkowicz said he stayed open for a long time after customers had nowhere to go during the holidays.
“I said I’d come in and open up,” Korkowicz said. “Because there’s quite a drive [From Buffalo] I want people to know they don’t have to pull up here and know we’re closed.”
7 News’ Michael Schwartz drove to Allegany to see the lunch rush. Customers tell Schwartz their favorites are the “Gorilla Burger,” wings, and the fish fry.
Korkowicz shows Schwartz how to fry the fish, starting with his mother’s famous batter and ending with a drizzle of oil for superior crunch
“She worked so hard, started off as a server, and just so proud of her, and to see how successful she was I just wanted to follow that,” explained Korkowicz.
Randy Farrington said it was a convenient stop with friends and family.
“We actually work nearby, so it’s a nice little lunch spot,” Farrington said.
Their menu can be found on their website.
