What a very pleasant surprise this place is tucked away on Niagara Street. It is enormous and can accommodate huge crowds of people. There are two parking lots so parking was not an issue. There're tables outside, but the patio area is limited, so we sat inside. It is bright, vibrant and had the best vibe! Our server was friendly, professional and helpful. The food was fantastic! I was\nA little skeptical about eating at a micro brewery.Because in my experience , the food is not the main character, the beer is... But here at Britesmith the food room the prize! The portions are generous and the flavor outstanding! The menu is varied and we had a hard time choosing our meals... At one person with us had the Nashville hot chicken.Another person had the bright smith cheese steak and I chose the white pizza... ,we argued about whose meal was better!! I really want to go back because they have a brisket plate that looked so good that I was thinking of ordering it as well as the pizza. We each had half of a meal to take home with us, not because it wasn't delicious , but because it was so generously portioned. read more

It's a neat building which is very open. Eveyone was nice. We got the chicken wing dip to share, which was not great. The chips were also beginning to be stale so it didn't help. We also got the meat street pizza which was fine. The low rating is mainly due to the prices because how much we paid and what we got was not equivalent at all. The dip was $16 and the pizza $26. Each should have been at least half of that. Overall it was disappointing and overpriced and we won't be returning. read more

This newer brewery (I say newer because last time we were in Buffalo this was Resurgence brewing, they have moved to a bigger location) is located right around the corner from Mortalis brewing. Still a nice spot with lots of seating indoors and outdoors. We ordered up three flights of beers so that we could try a few things and for the most part the beers were ok. The food offerings looked fantastic, although we did not eat this time around. read more

I'm a huge fan of Britesmith in Williamsville but it is always so busy! This location is definitely bigger and kind of tucked away (which I kinda like!) I came here for brunch with my fiancé. My favorite pick is the breakfast pizza. Solid, 10/10. He ordered some sort of smoked pulled pork sandwich which he said was really good. read more

Did take out from here today. Have never been here so that is always a good option to be able to try some of everything you order. Started with the elote, it comes with a side of tortilla chips. Great flavor topped with cilantro and pickled onions. Then went right for the big guns with the pulled pork plate and beef brisket plate. They both come with a side of coleslaw and Mac & cheese. You can choose different side but stayed with the menu. Did the house sauce for the meats and it was a good choice. Would like to try the other sauces next time. The afternoon was warm & sunny and people were sitting outside in the beer garden. The place is bright and airy inside. For takeout the hostess cashes you out and brings out your food. Very convenient. Will definitely be coming back! Looking forward to trying some of their beer. read more

Our first meal in Buffalo. We started with the Elote Dip and Pretzel Bites. I had a pepperoni pizza and the hubs had a Reuben sandwich & local beers. All were very tasty. Our server was fantastic! The atmosphere was very nice - lots of different types of seating options. Enjoyed watching locals watch the hockey match on tv! read more

Such a cool, laid-back vibe. I had a feeling the food would be legit the second I spotted the smokers in the parking lot. We went on a weekday late evening and had no trouble finding seating. The booth was cozy and inviting, making it easy to settle in and stay awhile. I lucked out having a fellow Yelp Elite help call the shots on what to order and split - definitely in great company! We ordered the smoked brisket stinger and the cheesesteak, and both were so long and served with a generous portion of fries and tots. The tots were a standout side for me - perfectly crispy with great seasoning. I was popping them like popcorn the entire time. Service was friendly, and check-backs were well-timed, attentive without being overbearing. Overall, it's a great spot to hang out and enjoy some good food. I'm still getting back into the swing of trying new drinks, but this definitely seems like a solid place to grab a beer. My friend ordered the Blind Squirrel, and from the sip I tried, it had a really nice, rich coffee flavor. read more

After getting our sweat on with a great Strength and Boxing class at MLC Personal and Group Training, a good friend (and fellow Yelp Elite!) and I worked up a good appetite for dinner. My friend had a coupon for Britesmith Brewing's Niagara St. location and with it being only a few minutes away, we came here for a late dinner. Overall, our experience here was great! We pulled into their dirt parking lot, closest to the main entrance, a little before 7:30pm on a Wednesday, we didn't have any trouble grabbing a parking spot. As we were stepping out of the car, we did see the paved parking lot on the other side of a chain link fence was also for Britesmith, good to know for future visits. We walked in and immediately were impressed with how spacious it was! I remember when Resurgence was in this space and it seemed so much smaller back then, so it was nice to see Britesmith expand it. We walked up to the hostess station and were greeted with a friendly young woman who guided us over to a booth. She let us choose if we wanted a table or booth as there was plenty of seating by the time we arrived. Soon after we were seated, food and drink menus were brought over. Our waitress, Julia, brought over a pitcher of water and two glasses and introduced herself. Julia did a nice job taking care of us throughout the evening, checking on us periodically and let the two of us sit and relax with zero pressure of flipping the table. It helped make for a pleasant evening. Since the two of us Yelp Elite, it took us a moment to whittle down what we wanted to get for dinner! As we were figuring that out, I ended up ordering one of their seasonal beers on tap, "Blind Squirrel", a brown ale brewed with coffee and hazelnut (5.5% ABV). I was very impressed, it was delicious! I'm drawn toward the darker-style beers as I love a more dessert-like flavor and this beer nailed it, plus I really liked that it wasn't too heavy, I didn't feel buzzed/sluggish afterward. After a few minutes, we figured out what we wanted and put our orders in. The wait for our dinners wasn't bad at all, very reasonable, plus it was nice to have time to relax and sip on our drinks. For dinner, I ordered their "Britesmith Cheesesteak" with a side of salted French fries and a little cup of what tasted like homemade bread and butter pickle slices. The "Britesmith Cheesesteak" is shaved beef, cheese sauce, and caramelized onions served on a toasted sesame roll. This was excellent! I loved how the cheese sauce melted, fused into the beef without soaking the roll. That combination of shaved beef and cheese was creamy. The fries were a thinner style and cooked perfectly with the right balance between soft and crispy. I also got to try the "Smoked Brisket Stinger" and some tater tots - Both were excellent, albeit I liked my cheesesteak more than the stinger. I liked the tater tots more than my fries though so I'd order those next time. Now when I saw the prices on the menu, they skew on the higher-side, but the portion sizes here were phenomenal - I thought our sandwiches were huge and the number of fries, tater tots was excellent. My friend boxed half her meal for the next day's lunch/dinner. I finished my meal but I was plenty full afterward. Britesmith Brewing on Niagara St. is great! We had a great time here, everything from the customer service, food, setting was spot-on. I have been to the Britesmith location in Williamsville and, given the choice, I prefer the Niagara St. location. I can't wait to come back for another cheesesteak or maybe give their Nashville hot chicken sandwich a try! read more

Kept the same great vibe that Resurgence had here but with more seating and the classic Britesmith menu. Took a chance with the Big Mac style za and it was incredible. Just the right amount of sauce and topping and a distinctive Big Mac taste with the three buns, the crust was crispy and tasty. Washed it down with good ol Billie Haze. The bartender was attentive and was able to get the TV onto golf very quickly, much appreciated. read more

Had an awful experience at Britesmith Buffalo last night. Before I get into the negatives, I'll start with the positives. Our server was outstanding. I can't remember what his name was but he moved here from Montana a year ago. He was very attentive and made a pretty awful night bearable. In terms of the negatives, the food was atrocious. I got the brisket platter and it looked like I received a plate full of pot roast and not a quality bbq'd piece of beef. It was huge but the brisket was cut into three huge inch thick pieces. It was tender but pretty tasteless and looked like it was last week's leftovers. The brisket came with bbq beans (also tasteless) and coleslaw. The slaw was 50% mayo and tasted like it was spoiled. One bite was enough. I had the indication based on the lack of people in the restaurant that they are pushing the limit on the useful life of the food. My daughter had the pulled pork sandwich which came with the slaw on top. She also complained that it tasted funny and only ate half of the sandwich. Spoiled slaw will do that to you. My wife and other daughter had the sausage and rapini pizza which they said was awful. They could only stomach one piece each. The pizza had no flavor. Such a bad food experience. It might be time for them to reevaluate the kitchen. Definitely will not be going back again. read more

Stopped for dinner, the walk in was very very muddy due to the stone parking lot and melting snow. The waiter was the bartender also but very friendly. We had the brisket which was tender and tasty, the barbecue sauce side was quite small. The Mac and cheese was good the fries were just ok, we prefer a fresh cut. The French onion soup had a kick to it but it was good. The elote dip is a must if you never had it! It's pretty pricey compared to other breweries that serve food. We do enjoy the beer here though and was not nearly as busy as the Williamsville location. read more

I took a chance to try something new because I work in the area and drive past multiple times. Happy to find my new lunch spot!!! I knew that the Williamsville location had Prosecco splits, and I was right, they serve them at this location as well!! Bartender/Server was Gerald. Polite and he was fast with everything I ordered and gave a good recommendation for what to eat. I ordered the wings. Only thing I would have liked, and felt it was lacking was maybe a side of celery with the spicy wings? (Just a suggestion) Either way, they were tasty wings. The real star of this review though goes to Connor Schutte. I am looking into a couple event ideas and also looking at venues for my daughter's wedding shower. Connor came over and graciously took time out of his busy schedule to speak to me about an event that I would like to have this summer. He has a gift for making you feel like you have known him forever and has such good manners. I can't tell you the last time I left a new restaurant and said "New favorite spot"!!!! Customer service is so important and you can tell Connor is passionate and values his customers. Thank you for all your help Connor and taking time out of your busy schedule to speak with me. I'll definitely be back soon!! read more

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. Nice outside area large spacious bar. Beers are good had a couple appetizers which were pretty good.

We got here at 3pm and ordered drinks and food at the same time. It's now 4:30 and we are just getting our food. The restaurant was busy earlier, but after 3pm it was empty. Not sure what the problem is. We were told the kitchen is slow today We didn't realize that it would be 1-1/2 read more

We came dinner last night (Friday night). The new place is impressive. The patio looks nice, but being a little brisk (for some), someone decided we should eat inside. We arrived around 6pm and had no problem being sat for dinner. If we would have pushed it a little later, we might have had an issue. Our server was outstanding. Our beers were great (so was the one sangria). Most of us were stuffed from a big lunch, so we kept the orders fairly simple. Pizzas and a crock of french onion soup. Everyone raved about their food. I've had better french onion, but it was still very good. Atmosphere was fun. There was the bar area to the left with a divider in the middle, then tables for diners encompassing the right side of the restaurant. Overall, a solid new addition to Niagara St. read more

Britesmith is one of my favorite spots in Buffalo. The atmosphere is warm, stylish, and welcoming, making it a great place for dinner, drinks, or a special occasion. The food is consistently delicious, with creative dishes made from fresh ingredients, and the cocktails are expertly crafted. The staff is attentive, friendly, and provides excellent service from start to finish. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience in Buffalo, Britesmith is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back! read more

Went on Opening Day and you would have thought the location has been running for a long time. No issues with any of the visit! The staff was VERY friendly and helpful. We are able to walk back and see the brewing equipment. The new style and look of this building since Britesmith took it over is SPECTACULAR. So much cozier than in the past and loved the ambiance. We had the flights of beer, pretzel bites, deviled eggs and lobster pizza. Everything was DELICIOUS! Very excited to come here often and enjoy the outdoor area too! read more

Sat at the bar (love the Vestaboard menu!) and received excellent service from the bartender, who happened to be from near our hometown. Great chatting with him.

Pulled pork sandwich was not good at all. Texas toast was burnt, meat was drenched in vinegar/mustard sauce and was disgusting. Some of the meat was not pork. Waitress was a bundle of attitude. All of our party agreed we were disappointed, and would not return or recommend. read more

Went here on a Sunday when they first opened at 11 with a group of friends for brunch. We originally sat outside since it was a beautiful day but had to go inside due to bees. Totally not their fault and they moved us inside and were very nice about it. I got the breakfast sandwich with home fries. The home fries were excellent. The sandwich was really good too but the English muffin was a bit hard. The portions were also on the smaller size which I can appreciate but given the price I expected a bit more. I would definitely come back for the vibes and good food though. read more

I have been here multiple times and really enjoy it. First time sitting at the bar and felt invisible. We were 2 of 5 at the bar. only one bartender of 3 acknowledged our presence. Granted we are older but older folks are bigger tippers if you give them good service. Will be back at a table for food. Never stopping by just for a couple drinks again. Bill was $35 usually would have left $15 but I think I over tipped for the lack of service at $5. read more

Came here for brunch and we loved everything we ordered- Smitty wings hit the spot had a sweet and spicy sauce and the best homemade Bleu cheese dressing I've ever had My boyfriend really enjoyed his breakfast sandwich We shared the Belgian waffle as a dessert-it was topped with whipped cream that had flecks of vanilla bean in it-it was simple yet delicious The Bloody Caesars were delicious (best olive ever) and the flight of beers was a great intro to what Britesmith has to offer. If we lived here this would be our go to spot for brunch-they had a beautiful patio and our server Justin was the cherry on top read more

My husband and I went to dinner on 10/24/2025. The staff was very accommodating to us. I am using a cane due to recent surgery. They seated us at a table immediately, even though it was very busy. Our server, Jake, was attentive and honored my request for a sub on one of my sides. He brought my husband a sample of an IPA to try as well. We each had the specials for dinner . I had the bratwurst which was delicious, perfectly prepared. My husband had the schnitzel which was also perfect. I would highly recommend B rite smith and ask for Jake to be your server.

All good for a Sunday visit except 2 stars off for not disclosing $5 upcharge on a sandwich selection.

First time at this location and it was great! This location has a large parking lot and both indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant was fairly busy but we had no wait for an outdoor table. The outdoor patio was beautiful with both high and low top tables. The service was excellent. We were checked on every time we needed to be. Food was as delicious as the Main Street location and beer was excellent as well. I wouldn't hesitate to come back to this location. read more

Everything was spectacular! Fun ambience, fantastic service, and excellent food! Will definitely go again!

Great brewery in downtown Buffalo with a safe environment and outstanding service food is great too

Food was really good! Really cool, trendy atmosphere inside! Service was OK. Worth checking out, especially with Mortalis next door!

If I could give this place 1 star I would. First of all, the customer service here was terrible and everyone seemed to have an attitude. Almost like no one even knew what they were doing. Second, the food was average at best. I ordered a burger and fries, and of course the fries came out cold, but I shouldn't have expected anything less. Definitely don't recommend coming here and will not be returning. read more
