    Calamari
    Ashley K.

    I give this place a 2 because of the service. The food was good (the calamari didn't come with sauce and was quite greasy, but the peppers it came with heightened the experience). The Beef on Weck and the regular burger were delish. And here comes the issues: we had a reservation for 630p. They said it would take a couple minutes to clear tables. Ok. Then we overheard a couple with reservations for 645p come in, and they were sat immediately. We approached the hostess, who claimed she didn't hear us say we had a reservation. After that, we got our drinks and app promptly; but, our main foods didn't come for another 40 min. We almost left and told the staff to cancel our order...and wow, suddenly, our waitress appeared and said she said the ticket system held the order, but then came out like 5-10 minutes later. We ate the food, and it was delicious. It was overly salted though. She did comp our meals; however, their service definitely needs improving because this is the first place I almost walked out of. And it's rated 4 plus stars soooooo they should be on their game at all times especially for people who have reservations. Don't know if it was because we were openly gay or not, but, ummm, small town and such so who knows. I also think they're trying to do too much (being a gastropub and all) because they don't have the means to handle all that fusion.

    Street corn dip

    This is in a village with in street parking or public parking behind. I'd suggest a reservation which we had. The place is really nice inside, booths, tables, high tops, ample waiting area. When I first got there I opened the wrong door-for those who are dumb like me-it's the LEFT door. I went on a Saturday and was seated right away for my 5;30 reservation. I got a pistachio martini. There's a large beer and wine menu. Our server was great and offered honest reviews of what we ordered and we really appreciated that. I got the grilled cheese appetizer-cheese curds. I should have asked for ranch. The sauce they were served with was okay, very thick. No matter they light and crispy. I did feel the presentation was a little weird as if the basket had tipped over. I don't know if that was intentional and the way it's served, but it gave off very hipster vibes or if it really did accidentally fall over. My friends got the street corn dip and it was beautiful as far as bright nachos are concerned. They both got burgers and loved them. I opted for the Quaker salmon. It practically melted in my mouth. Great piece of fish. I'm not an expert in couscous-but I wish it had been hot. It seemed lumpy and cold. It had a nice flavor with cranberries and walnuts. I thought it was a hot dish so that let me down. It was sweet, with it being cold it tasted like cereal kind of. I ate it. I subbed the asparagus for mashed potties. Also my first few bites were cold. They could have been warmer. Overall, I was pleased with my dinner. I got the cookie butter banana cheesecake. Talk dirty to me some more! The topping was to die for. It had cookie pieces and some walnuts and I think brown sugar. You could've served me a bowl of the topping and I would've just eaten it with a spoon. The cheesecake had a really good banana flavor to it that didn't come off as fake or overpowering. You could definitely tell it was banana. I also got a piece of the chocolate ganache cake to take home and the person who ate it said it was a really good piece of chocolate cake and I also got the hazelnut crisp square and I don't know if that was supposed to be refrigerated or not, but it looked really small and almost melted by the time I got it back to Rochester, which to be fair is almost an hour and a half away. All three of us had never been to this place before and we all agreed that it was a really good restaurant and we would definitely give the restaurant another try because in the end we were happy with our food. I just wish mine had been warmer that would've tipped to my review to a 5. The service was impeccable. It was just a really enjoyable experience.

    Takeout chicken tenders. These took 1st place for my fav hand battered tenders. Gold rush and honey chipotle sauce are fantastic.

    Good spot for burgers. Love that they offer tasty gf options. Their dessert menu always is drool-worthy. Takeout is timely and can be done online.

    the food itself was just pretty gooood. the nachos were slightly overwhelming and left just some to be desired potstickers were just alright, again, not quite what we'd hoped delish shirley though service was also a little slow slow, not my favorite

    So not many places open on a Sunday in East Aurora. My husband decided to do a reservation. That was the best decision we made. The couple before us was told it would be an hour wait. Our waitress was awesome, very attentive as well as quite busy. She made sure everyone was taken care of but also was very welcoming and didn't make a busy restaurant seem too busy for the customer. That started a great meal even better. Unfortunately one set back was they sold their last Elk burger (specialty game burger) so we weren't able to try. They offered lamb, but we chose 2 different burgers - Jam burger and I just had a cheeseburger with Cheddar. Fries were awesome - sweet and regular. Burgers were huge and cooked to perfection. Drinks were great too. My hubby had an old fashioned and was able to choose his bourban. I had a white sangria. Both were so good. We will be back to see if we can get a game burger. Great ambiance, food and service.

    Man griffin is so great. This location is really pretty interior too and a big place! Staff was super nice and friendly. I got their pb and j burger it was so so good and I upgraded the side to their gouda Mac and cheese and it was also amazing! They aren't giving the food away price wise but it's worth it for a nice meal. There's plenty of parking in the street of the large city lot behind the restaurant. Definitely worth visiting!

    Had a cocktail at the Griffon Pub in East Aurora. Cool bar with darker lighting and great ambiance. We've been to the one on Transit, but I prefer this location. Drinks are reasonable priced, and they have an extensive beer selection.

Service from the bartender was great. He offered up some suggestions, which I needed because they have a large menu loaded with so many appetizing and amazing looking options. I started with their potstickers... They came out with a hard, fried shell and the dipping sauce went nicely with them. Enough to share, or even enough to enjoy and still have room for an entrée. My main dish was their Chicken & Waffle. This isn't some ordinary chicken and waffle, it's definitely an amped up version, made with unique and interesting ingredients, culminating in great flavors! The chicken was so large and very tender - it was amazing! The bacon and sauce on top went with it nicely, and the chive waffle was great with it! Each bite was definitely amazing! This was a great experience, I can see why they have so many reviews and such high stars, those are well-deserved stars!! Definitely recommend stopping in here!

The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, which made it even more enjoyable. I ordered fried calamari along with single chicken wings tossed in an Asian sweet and spicy sauce--both dishes were flavorful and satisfying. The combination of crispy textures and bold flavors really stood out. What made the experience even better was the service. Our server was amazing--attentive, friendly, and truly great at her job. She made us feel welcome from the start. I always enjoy trying new places, and this visit did not disappoint. If you're looking for an American restaurant near Niagara Falls, this is definitely worth trying. We ended the meal with a delicious dessert,which was the perfect sweet finish to a great experience.

You will often see a line waiting to get in before the location opens and the line rarely dies down, especially during the weekend. Sometimes bar seating is a little quicker, but not always.

Their beef on weck is packed with meat but the bun is perfectly salted and doesn't get soggy. Servers are efficient and friendly. And plenty of drink options, alcoholic and not to pair perfectly with your other Buffalo delacies. Do yourself a favor and make sure you give Bar Bill a try.

    My first time dining at this location. The atmosphere is lodge meets glam - a little disjointed,…read morebut everything is sharp lines and clean. The menu was overwhelming in the best way. My dining companions & I agreed we had a difficult time choosing our entrees. Amongst the table, we shared the donut flight (chocolate, powdered sugar, and brown sugar cream cheese) and the sweet potato pecan pancakes. It was a unanimous vote that the brown sugar cream cheese donut was the best (and sadly, the powdered sugar donut was tough to cut with a fork and dry in texture). For my meal, I opted for the queso and pork stuffed chilaquiles verde burrito. The shell was crisp and the pork was tender but I could have used more verde sauce. The only downside was being the first patrons of the day and having to sit through nearly half our meal before drinks were refilled. I enjoyed the breakfast old fashioned before we left and look forward to the next brunch opportunity.

Food: 0/10 Alright this is the third time I've come to this location. I'm trying to be fair but the bad food is consistent. For instance tonight I got the "campfire" plate which was fries, Mac and cheese, chicken, and brisket. Fries? Too hot to eat first. Mac and cheese? Literally colder than room temp and DRY! No cheese...like cold dry noodles? The brisket was slimy and small portion sized, the chicken was fine I guess. Everything else was so gross though by the time I got to the chicken I didn't care. I've come every time with my family of 4, and all 3 experiences were the same. I wish the food was anything but what it is because I'd love to come back here. I'll never recommend it and I'm actually just going to give away my $100 gift card to anyone who wants to dare to eat here.

Not going to lie, it's nearly impossible to sit through a lacrosse game while smelling burgers from this place the entire time. We came by on a Sunday and took advantage of their kids' meal special: $5 including a drink, which is a really solid deal. We ordered burgers (split with my fellow burger lover) and chicken fingers for two of the kids, and the food definitely hit the spot after a long day when everyone was starving. The burgers were decent, though I would have loved slightly larger patties and a few more topping option. I'm all about an over-the-top handheld, so maybe that's just me. My only real disappointment was the fry portion size; I must have been spoiled on my first visit when my meal came with an overload of fries. One of my favorite features is the patio, especially during nicer weather. Service was good, and I appreciated the little outdoor station stocked with condiments and water, which was a thoughtful touch for patio diners. Overall, it's a convenient spot to grab a casual meal before or after games, especially if you're already at the rink.
