    Midweek lunch!
    Susan S.

    We arrived at a calm time: Midweek lunch at two pm. As always, it was great food and service! My husband loves the schnitzel here, and I love the wurst platter and the red cabbage!

    Live Music

    I have been here many times for dinner, and it's a blast, but this was my first time checking out the brunch. We had a great time! They have a theme to each brunch it seems, and the day we went was country music. It's definitely less "crazy" and loud which was nice because we had my daughter with us. The food was really tasty, I had the Belgian waffle topped with apples and it was delicious! My husband got the breakfast skillet and really enjoyed it. I would definitely return for another brunch! Prost!

    Mug with mulled wine
    Shreyasi D.

    Ahhhh!!! This place is awesome. Who wouldn't want Octoberfest all year round? And Christmas and Octoberfest combined? Even better. Went here for the Christmas market over the weekend and loved it. The vendors were great and the hot chocolate or mulled wine were delicious. It's also huge in there--you can easily fit 20 people at one table. Great staff and food came out quickly. They have their Christmas mugs right now too. So adorable. Btw, parking right now is $20

    Beer

    Service was great fast and easy !!! Beer was delicious and also was the food. Definitely recommend to come for a fun time. Very large area and choices for food and drinks !!!

    King Ludwig's Feast
    Stephen D.

    Surprised our mom for her 65th birthday here and the place didn't disappoint. From excellent service, great music and of course the food was phenomenal. We got the King Ludwig's feast which gives you a table for yourself and entirely too much food to list here. It says it feeds 8-10 but the six of us barely put a dent in it.

    Chicken Schnitzel Sandwich
    Marissa M.

    Hofbräuhaus is a favorite spot of mine in Buffalo. The food here always slaps. That schnitzel sandwich was so tasty and so crispy, I would get that every time. The pretzel is amazing. The beer cheese is so so good. We also got fried pickle spears, which came with a delicious sauce. I loved everything. Whenever I come here, the food never misses. Love the beer. The atmosphere is top-notch. Service is great. You really can't go wrong by coming here. We came to eat before Sabres game and then came back for more beer and a shot ski after the game. Will definitely be frequenting here often.

    Went for the outdoor seasonal Christmas markets at Hofbrauhaus this afternoon. Since I've never been to Germany during Christmas time to experience the Christmas markets, this is the next best thing! The snow was coming down and the wind was blowing. I felt like we were in one of those toy globes that you turn upside down and watch the snow twirl around! My friend and I enjoyed mugs of hot chocolate after doing a little shopping. We enjoyed the lively Christmas music on the covered patio. I took a peek inside the actual dining hall of the restaurant and was surprised that it was so huge. We did not order anything from the menu. Maybe we'll try it another day.

    Lunch with friends
    Linda M.

    I'm very mixed on this review. This was my 1st visit here and after hearing mostly good things I was anxious to check it out. I met a group of old friends here for lunch. My 1st impression was on how huge this place is. It was very empty this particular day, our group of 6 and a hand full of others at the bar. It almost been too big and unwelcoming. I'm assuming coming at night or for an event it might feel different. My 2nd thought was about how dark it was. We actually had to use our phones to look at the menu. I just wasn't crazy about the feel of thr place. Now the positives. First off our server was fantastic! She was friendly and helpful. After looking at the menu she told us about the $5 lunch special, a smash burger & fries. Yes $5! You certainly can't beat that deal. The fries were nice & crispy & not greasy. The smash burger was ok. Best part was the generous amount of sautéed onions on top. Oh and the beer was good, though forgot what kind I got. I will be back mabe for dinner to check out the rest of the menu. Maybe a German dish or two. Hopefully that raises my 1st impression rating. 2024-97

    Great atmosphere.. superb waitress ... awesome beer ... and Tuesdays in December my choice of schnitzel was ONLY $7 ... yes SEVEN DOLLARS!! Imagining how much fun this place is crowded! Our meals were delicious and this place is now on our to go frequently list!!

    Tangy Spicy
    David C.

    Not much to add here, my father wanted to come by for a beer after doing some holiday shopping. I ordered a boozy eggnog, which was supposed to be frozen but it had not quite frozen yet so they served it over ice. No real issue there, but it you love eggnog and like it boozy, it's a good thing to order. My Tangy and Spicy burger was ok, the server didn't ask how I'd like my burger prepared which I thought was odd but medium rare was ok cooking for me. I found the burger a bit lackluster, not very tangy nor spicy.

    This is the cookie cutter Hofbrauhaus that you will find throughout their many locations. Huge beer hall with heavy tables and benches, high ceilings, well decorated and of course plenty of outdoor seating. Not sure the capacity but it has to 1,000+. The bar is large and has high top tables. Throughout our entire time here the music played. They had a Photo Booth and had folks play "hold a liter" game. I loved the menu. Between the sausages and wurst it is hard to make a single choice, so I suggest sharing with your group. One of the best dishes was the potato salad. I know you are surprised to hear this but it was great along with the cucumber salad. You must start off with a pretzel which come with a variety of dips. Seems the beer cheese was quite popular with our party.

    To say least I was very dissapointed. I was told this was A westearn bar with line damcing and mecanichal bull. To say the least i was very dissapointed. There was not a mecanichal bull and i did not see line danceing. This is not a westaern bar. To say the very least i was and am dissapoint with there service. They should not advartised a westen bar with bad serrvice and no mecanichal bull. To many peoeple hogging the juke Box. westaern bars play westaern music and i hear none of it.

    Is there live music everyday? If yes, do you know what time?

    Many days but not every day. Check their website under "Events" for the calendar / schedule.

    Are reservations required, strongly recommend or not necessary?

    Unless you have a huge group, I'd say no. The placed accommodates a ton of people.

    Does they sell nonalcoholic beer? And if so, does anyone know what brands? Hofbrau has their own which is actually pretty good called 'HOFBRÄU ALKOHOLFRE'.…

    When I was there they did not.

There was a couple of odd states thrown our way when we first arrived. Not sure they expected us to show up when the demographics was older, white, and clearly in love with the cover band which was playing the Beatles. The bartenders however, were phenomenal. They seemed to be enjoying themselves which always makes the experience better. The inside has seating for I imagine 100. There are picnic benches all over plus some of them have small table games to play. There are a few benches outside in the front and then when you get to the back there are more plus other games and an overall nice area to chill in. Parking is abundant and there are so many side streets where you'll always find a spot.

Everyone who works here is friendly, accommodating, and a lover of good beer. They brew their own and, according to everyone I know who's been here, it's almost always delicious. They don't serve food apart from chips, so it's not a gastro pub by any means. However, if it's good drink, good entertainment, and good company you're looking for, you've come to not only the right place, but the best place. They get so many good bands and comedians here! The last time I went, I saw my favorite stand up comic. The atmosphere is cheerful but not rowdy. So if you're the type of person who loves to meet new, fun people who love and consume beer, come to Flying Bison. Not only will you have a great time, you'll also have a good brew to settle down with. Also, they allow dogs. What's not to love?

I've been on quite a few wine tours over the years, and it does take a certain personality to be able to do it well - but Rich was able to entertain AND be personable. He was professional AND endearing. He was always engaged in what we thought of each stop, and his relationship with the people at the breweries/distilleries/wineries seemed genuine. And whether it was him or just the smaller size, It honestly felt like we were treated better, being a part of Rich's group, then being in a group of 50 coming off a tour bus.   The stops were all great. I had some reservations about a few, but was honestly able to find something I loved at each location. Not to mention, the price is extremely competitive with all of the other tours I was researching. The van we were in was even fancy and brand new. If you're looking for something just a little different than your standard wine tour, I cannot recommend them enough.

We started out at VB Brewery, where we enjoyed our flight of awesome beer, and then had a tour of the brewing facility itself (where we got a secret extra tasting!). From there, we headed to Lost Borough, where the beer was equally amazing (and a few of us may have ordered from Sticky Lips right around the corner, which is totally encouraged!). The final stop of the day was over in Webster at Knucklehead Craft Brewing. This brewery had my favorite beer of the day, the Knockout Stout. This brewery also has a kitchen where they serve some awesome food as well! I would definitely recommend TourRoc to anybody who is interested in craft beer, or to anybody who is interested in learning more about it and the Rochester beer scene in general. Probably the best thing about TourRoc is you literally just have to show up and you're set. Your ticket price includes EVERYTHING - luxury transportation, a flight of beer at each brewery (or for those of you who are gluten free, wine, cider, or cocktails as available), snacks and water on the tour bus, and all tips for the driver and tour director. You are also welcome to bring your own snacks and beverages (alcoholic or not) on the tour bus as well! It's obvious that the detail that went into creating the TourRoc experience that the owners truly love Rochester and have a passion for local craft beer. Can't wait to go on my next tour!
