Meet Our People
Our Great Food is Because of Great People
Meet just some of our team. You’ll notice when people talk about Bandana’s, they always bring up our food and our service. You can’t have one without the other, and quality people are the where great food and great times start.

Our History
Owners Rob Kudel and wife, Melissa Kudel (Salvatore), met in Buffalo on Lisbon Avenue in 1997. Rob grew up in Brooklyn and Melissa in Youngstown.
They both pursued dreams; Melissa in education and Rob as a restaurant owner. In 2003, Bandana’s Bar and Grill became a dream for both.
Dedication to food and service became a passion and priority. After many years of tears and joy, Bandana’s has become a staple in their relationship and the community. Over time, Bandana’s has built a family through its customers and staff.
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
