This pub is a staple in Hayward. There were multiple televisions playing the World Cup. The person who greeted us at the door was very friendly. It was not very busy because it was a week night. We waited about twenty minutes before finally having to asking someone to wait on us. The lady who I flagged down was super nice. Even though I do not think that she was supposed to be our waiter, she continued to be attentive to our table. We really appreciated that. The food was pretty good bar food. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could. read more

We came here after a movie for a late Galentines celebration. Purple Haze was pretty and tasted pretty good We were seated immediately, and our server was sweet. Ordered the ceasar salad and added steak. Im torn because the salad itself was delicious, but was surprised the meat was so overcooked it seemed like beef jerky! They didnt ask how i wanted meat cooked, that should have been a sign. $29 for a salad was also some sticker shock. I wanted to give this place a chance, but likely would go elsewhere if I ever goto the movies in that space again. read more

Local brewery with a selection on beers on tap. We got a variety of beers and everyone seemed to enjoy them. Wish they had some non alcoholic options as well others than the Corona low alcoholic version. Food was the typical bar menu, we got a salad, the jalapeno burger and some chicken sandwiches. They were flexible in making one of the wraps into a sourdough sandwich which we appreciated. The food tasted fresh and flavorful too! Service was prompt and friendly. read more

Quality/Quantity - Guess my buddy is MORE of a regular than I am?!?! Yet I believe we always come together?!?! I guess he is just more memorable. Anyways, I just had dinner at your other restaurant, Casa Del Toro, and wanted just one more beer before going home. Got my usual red, while my buddy got his usual IPA. And I ordered the garlic fries as I still had the munchies. My buddy could not believe after eating a steak dinner (see Casa Del Toro review), that I could still eat. Well, the joke is on him as he ate more than 60% of my fries, lol. Atmosphere - Indoor/outdoor seating.150 indoor seats and 120 outdoors seats. Table, booth, bar, counter, heated patio, etc. Free wifi. Open kitchen. Plenty of mall parking; in the past when this place was crazy busy, parking was a challenge. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 9pm or 10pm. Service - Good. Well even better when the bartender knows my buddy. And the manager recognized me, lol. Anyways, we are both regulars. :) Price - $35 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1983. I used to be a regular. Thanks for reopening on 8/7/23; Hayward needs more good businesses. Congrats to Alejandro Gamarra and all his restaurants and businesses. We just had dinner at your other restaurant, Casa Del Toro. read more

Their food is usually good, and the beer is good but the AMBIENCE, or lack of is due to the noise level, including the forced listening to THE EMPLOYEES or MANAGEMENT's (which is what they have told me, each time I asked if they could turn it down or OFF) choice of music, even on the outside patio. I stopped going there years ago because of the terrible noise levels, which apparently doesn't bother too many humans who love shouting and being inside with all the cacophony of SPORTS on FLAT SCREENS, loud music (?) and the people. Whatever happened to going out to eat and having a conversation? read more

We came here on a weeknight and were seated right away. On Mondays it is happy hour from 2 pm until close. We ordered the ribs, pork sandwich, and the minestrone soup. We also ordered a side of crazy fries. The food was just okay. Folks thought their meat sandwiches were fine and there was nothing special. The minestrone was pretty good. I think where they fell through was the fries. The crazy fries were way too soggy with the sauce and the sauce was not great while the garlic was too much. My partner enjoyed the beer and thought that was good. It is sort of dark inside and there's plenty of seating. The service was pretty good as well. read more

I've been here before for a Yelp elite event, so it was great coming back for lunch with my coworkers! Or a great low key place to hang out with friends. I loved that the brewery has some of its equipment for display. Parking is super easy, there's a parking lot behind the restaurant. I ordered their fried chicken sandwich and it was super crispy and juicy. The fries were cooked perfectly. I didn't try any of their beers but it looked refreshing! read more

Food quality went way down. They used to have decent pizza and now, it's super generic yet still costs a premium. Beer might be slightly improved but still doesn't justify the price. I won't be coming back. read more

Ivan was our Super Server for our second time in less than a week. We had the zucchini, it was so awesome. We had the Gorgonzola salad, my god you must have this! Lastly ordered the pepperoni pizza, so delicious, the crust was crispy and the dough very moist! The Salsa music and Bob Marley music hit the Community Vibe spot! Ivan was so attentive that we thought he owned the business. What an outstanding, beautiful fun experience today was! read more

Stopped by Buffalo Bills Brewery and ordered a pizza -- it was delicious! Crispy crust, melty cheese, and fresh toppings made it way better than I expected from a brewery. Solid food to go with the drinks. The atmosphere was super chill, and to top it off, there was a Love Island watch party going on while I was there. Totally unexpected but honestly made the visit even more entertaining. The crowd was into it, and it added a fun energy to the place. Service was friendly, though a little slow -- the only reason I'm not giving 5 stars. Still, between the great pizza, good beer, and unexpected TV drama, I had a great time. read more

Nice environment with indoor and outdoor seating. A decent sized menu and a full bar. I really like the pesto chicken sandwich. I like that I can sub the Swiss cheese for cheddar. The sweet potato fries are pretty good as well as the side salad. The prices are a bit high though. read more

I did not really impressed with the quality of salad and steak. Steak was fatty and not really like the salad , it was a bit wilted. One of the good parts was the beer. Super fresh and yummy . We ordered hazy style which got me after 2 sip. Service is fast and attentive. Ambience also is warm and cozy . This location has patio for nights that are quiet and not warm to enjoy. read more

Whoa, my last review for this place was back in 2008, that's 17 years ago yo, WTF. Lol. Since then long tenured Buffalo Bills changed hands a little past the pandemic. Like many other owners, not many wanted to stick around in an already hard business. New blood had to enter the equation and good for Hayward, a local empire took over. Owners of the Metro Taquero chain and Casa Del Toro next door bought the business rights to this old time brew pub and Hayward classic. Much of the inside is the same, but honestly it's been so long since I've been in, I can't really tell. But the overall vibe is the same, very urban yet industrial vibe. The food and drink, albeit more expensive due to the times and inflation, is even better than what I remember so let's jot down an update. 4 beer Sampler ($12/4*) A little pricey for trying to find out what they have but at least their beers are pretty good. I hate paying for a sampling and the beers suck. Like any where else, they have multiple IPAs, but they are on the lighter side but still quite balanced. These aren't the thick and heavy ones like Fieldwork and Drake's. I really liked their Hazy (juicy and fresh) and their Double Standard which has a stern hop finish. I also liked their Blueberry Oatmeal Stout which was smooth with just a faint blueberry hint, not in your face or artificial tasting. Half Club/Half Soup Combo - lunch special ($16/4*) You can pick between like 5 sandwiches or so, and between 2 soups. The sandwich was really good but at 3 layers can be a bit tough to bite into. Good toasted sourdough, turkey, bacon and avo slices. And the kicker I liked which you don't see often was pickled jalapenos which made it zing. I could eat pickled jalapenos on any sandwich, you just don't see it enough. I chose minestrone soup and it was hearty with big chunks of veggies and swollen shell pasta. Loved the taste of the broth and seasoning, just thought it was a bit skimpy of a portion (like cup was only filled half way) and the soup wasn't hot, barely warm. Still delicious just an observation noted. Combo Pizza ($22/4*) In my original review I was amused at how the pricing for pizza or burger was around $11 bucks. Now they are both over $20, weeeee! About small pizza in size about 8 small slices, good for 2 peeps as an app. Crust nicely charred on the edges edges but reamins soft and droopy in the center. I think the amount of cheese and sauce they use keeps it from getting totally crisp. But there is a good meaty and melty bite. I actually liked the slices cold the next day, as everything was stuck as one. Service at the bar was good, spacing was kinda tight. But I'll definitely be back and won't hold off as long as I did for this return. I'm just glad a successful local group took over an old institution to keep it alive. It's a model I can root for and support. Cheers! read more

Stopped in for a bite to eat after golfing nearby. Even though it was not busy it took a while to get service and since we weren't drinking beers, we waited a long time for waters. Maybe under staffed at the time. I had the PestoChicken wrap, which was pretty good. I saw some pizzas and wings that looked good too. Overall it's a good gathering place in downtown Hayward if you want a beer and some good food. read more

I met a friend for lunch at Buffalo Bills Brewery. Second time here and I really only came back for the fried pickles because they are bomb! Their selection of beer Is pretty good. The house red was my favorite (I dont remember the name ) The food was meh. Ordered the pastrami and my friend ordered the chicken pesto sandwich with sweet potato waffle fries. The pastrami was greasy but decent. The massive amount of fries was fun at first but then it just felt wasteful. Server was nice but the service was slow to start. It wasn't busy at all so I was surprised that the service was a little slower than expected. All in all, not the worst place to come for A sandwich and beer. read more

We went to the brewery and were seated fairly quickly, but it took over 20 minutes before anyone came to take our drink order. When I got up to look for a manager, a waiter noticed right away, came over, and apologized for the delay. He offered to comp our drinks, which was appreciated. Unfortunately, every one of the four drinks I tried to order was unavailable, which was disappointing. The staff handled the situation politely, but the overall experience could definitely be improved. I later found out the place is under new management, which might explain some of the issues. Hopefully, they get things sorted out soon because the atmosphere and potential are definitely there. read more

I came to Buffalo Bills to catch up with some friends I haven't seen in a while! Buffalo Bills have both indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit offside because it was a nice sunny day. With the sun, we were concerned about one person getting hit by all those rays, but before we could ask, the hostess immediately asked if we wanted to move the sun umbrella. Very attentive! Our waiter was also super nice. He checked on us frequently and gave us recommendations for our drinks. 10/10 the peach cider (not pictured) was super good. I'm a bit sensitive to bitter taste, so this was a hit! They don't brew it there; they have it in a can. 10/10 their nachos are very filling. It definitely filled up a party of 3 with some leftovers still. If you're looking for protein, this has plenty chicken in it! 9/10 the wings were great. We did choose for a spicier sauce and there was definitely that kick in it. The ranch does help with that kick without affecting the taste too much. 9/10 chicken wrap was yummy. The sauce that comes with it reminds me of the sauce they use in gyros. Definitely come here if you're looking for a place to chill. They do play sports on their TVs and I hear people come there to watch. Though it's a bit pricey, your serving size makes up for it! read more

My husband and I decided to check out Buffalo Bill's Brewery after I attended a Yelp event here not too long ago. It was our first date night in 4.5 months (since having our baby)! We came on Valentine's Day. We ordered beers, burgers, and garlic fries. The garlic fries were good and crispy. The alimony ale beer is delicious. My Buffalo Bill's burger wasn't very good. I asked for medium rare but it was beyond well done, making it very dry. I should have spoken up about it, but I really don't like food getting wasted. The side salad with vinaigrette was good. My husband got the bacon onion burger. His ended up actually being medium rare and it was a lot better than my burger. His sweet potato waffle fries were good, but super crispy. I like crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, but it was just crispy all around. Our server was welcoming and friendly. The pricing was a much more than I expected. It may be more worthwhile to come with a group to enjoy the shareables. read more

Well, history alone says you NEED to come here......The FIRST Brewpub in America.....look it up! Anyways, they closed after Co-Vid, but were bought out and reopened. They have done an excellent job of keeping what was familiar, while elevating what was needed. Their food is now amazing! No longer " pub food", you will get a culinary experience! Their Happy Hour menu is AWESOME! So many good choices! I recommend one of the 4 slider options they have.....OR all four! The staff is attentive and awesome. SO friendly! Manager Alex knows how to staff appropriately for sure! Buffalo Bill's has been here since 1983. If you have never been....GO.....if you've been before, PLEASE go back and try them out again!

Apparently they don't serve women beer here. Came in for a quick pint and the server saw me and two of my friends go to the bar. Everyone at the bar had their drinks. Server saw me, made eye contact but then instead of asking me what I wanted, left the bar area. 10 minutes gone by, he came back from sorting menu's and then when I told him I want a IPA, he continued to talk to another party and serve them two other beers and had conversations. I was basically ignored and service took way too long for a pint of beer. This place was dead and it was a Monday evening around 7pm. I used to work in the service industry and this attitude of service was definitely lower than a fail. read more

So happy they're back! Buffalo Bill's has been a happy hour destination, friends' night out spot, birthday venue, so I was truly tearful when they closed. I was equally emotional when they reopened. Some old faves are gone(bring back the charcuterie board, Buffalo Bill's had the best one before they became trendy) but the brews are still amazing and you can still enjoy good bar eats. The ambiance continues to be a mix of sports fans, dates, families, folks with dogs. The new servers are upbeat and knowledgeable. I plan to return on a regular basis. read more

We thought we were loosing Buffalo Bill's but thankfully they were bought and remained open. The food is subpar to say the least. Typical sandwiches, burgers and salads. The stand out here is definitely the beet. Lots of varieties. I'm a huge fan of the seasonal ales. The atmosphere is lively (Some would consider this noisy) the staff GREAT. This also is said for the service. If you're in the mood for a burger and a beer, I highly recommend Buffalo Bills. read more

Unfortunately this is one of the lowest reviews I've ever left. Arriving to the restaurant, it is in downtown hayward so you can park in the adjacent parking garage around the corner which has free parking. Walking in to the restaurant, it's a pretty restaurant. Nice lights and decor. We were seated right away for a table for two in a Friday night at 6:15pm. Ordered a couple house beers and they were good, nothing special. The service was quick and attentive. The reason for the low stars is the food. It was absolutely garbage. I got a burger and it tasted like there was zero seasoning put on while it was being cooked. I had to ask for salt, pepper, and hot sauce just to get some type of flavor. The garlic fries were average. The mac n cheese was okay. For 2 entrees, 2 beers, 1 appetizer it came out to $104. Which is ridiculous for barely average food and beer. We came for an anniversary dinner and it was such a waste of money. We will not be back. Maybe this is a place that caters to....people who don't like seasoning. If you catch my drift. read more

I'm done with BB. Refilled some growlers recently, and again it took 20 mins because bartender was also host/sever/busser. Got home and turns out the ricochet red tasted flat. And...one of their business partners got a huge loan from the city which is already over budget? I do not want to support shady businesses, even for $35 worth of beer.
