So many excellent choices for dinner and drinks here .You can pick burgers , chicken or seafood choices.I started out with the lucky duck drink with was promoting the world's largest duck being in town.With fresh blueberries and strawberries it was thirst quenching on a hot day.With fast and friendly service I received my parmesan fries.They came with a kickin' BBQ sauce and were hot and delicious.

Get Parmed is the winter "pop-up" restaurant that Liberty Hound is running. Don't get confused by the term pop-up, as it is still theLiberty Hound restaurant with the same chef, location and interior. It is just what they are calling their winter menu. We had the chicken parm dinner for 2 with a bottle of wine and were pleasantly surprised The chicken was tender and crisp and Nona's sauce had a smooth texture and nice flavor. I would suggest reservations as only inside dining is available this time of year. There is a bar set to one side and note you enter from the side door that goes to the museum (on the naval park side of the building). Street metered parking is nearby or walk from the transit or one of the paid parking lots. We enjoyed the food and will be back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was fast and the waiter was very nice. The food was okay, not what I expected. I ordered a fish fry with fries but the taste was just not yummy. Hopefully I stop by again and try something else from the menu. read more

Food: Fresh, fast, yummy- except lacks seasoning. Add a dash of salt and pepper and it's pretty darn good. Service: Pretty good. Checked on us in good time increments, very nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: LOUD given it was near empty. Humid. Not the biggest fan.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Over all 3.5/5 read more

Great meal. Stopped by after hitting the beach knowing it would be busy on a 90* day on the water. The wait was about 25 minutes, not that bad for a good meal and great cooling drink! Two of us ordered the tacos with chicken and they were delicious! And a good size with a side. Everyone loved their food. Service was on point and so was my drink, The Painkiller! This is always a good choice when in Buffalo. read more

Visited during restaurant week. Converted to a pop-up called Parmed for the winter months. The veal parmigiana was excellent. Crispy breading, tender veal and just enough cheese and sauce. Spaghetti side was good portion. Service was good. Mark very friendly and efficient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Filled up the night we were there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This should be a winter success with Italian comfort food. read more

Most of the time I leave reviews for restaurants and businesses I enjoy. The Liberty Hound deserved a low review for a plentiful of reasons. To start off we ordered half a dozen of oysters on the half shell we were both ill that night ! I understand at establishments where raw food is consumed you are warned of the possibility of food borne illnesses but aside from the oysters and their poorly presented ice it seemed as if the staff didn't put loving effort into anything at all. Ordered a wicked tuna burger as my entree, mushy, messy, and way too sweet, fell apart in my hands the minute I took a bite. When we ordered our beverages it took almost 15 minutes to receive them the server had poured them but another issue had caught his attention and we ended up receiving flat coke after the oysters. It's a shame that Buffalo is home to very unpleasant dining experiences unhealthy and poor quality food. I would not recommend visiting The Liberty Hound read more

The Scarlet Vetter says.......[[HIGHLIGHT]]my sister and I were hankering for some seafood and a beautiful waterside vibe on a hot day, so we came down to Canalside in Buffalo to this lovely spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I made a reservation to assure we could sit outside onthe patio overlooking the harbor. I was able to make a same day reservation (I called in the morning for a 1 pm reservation). We decided to go for a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio (Caposaldo) which was crisp and fragrant, and some fun sharable seafood dishes. We ordered the Clams Casino (spectacular) the Crawfish Beignets (quite good) the Liberty Mussels (very very good--amazing flavorful broth) the Calamari (reasonably good) and the Ahi Tuna Nachos (enormous and very good). The server (Elissa R.) was fantastic and very attentive and bubbly. I will be coming back to this spot! read more

Got burgers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was clean service was outstanding.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were so hungry we forgot to take pictures. Highly recommend. Burgers and fries were fresh not frozen. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Can even sit outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Conveniently located at Canalside with indoor table and bar seating, as well as outdoor patio seating. We came for an early dinner on a Monday around 4:00 and it was busy and loud in the dining room... almost too loud to carry on a conversation. They take reservations and walk ins. I ordered the lobster roll which came with a pickle and fries and really enjoyed it. My only disappointment is that I wish there were more fries because they were delicious! In addition to their food menu, there have a full bar with several beers on tap. Recommend giving them a try! read more

I didn't even know this place existed at Canalside. My friend and I were exploring the area and we opted to sit here because we were starving. In my opinion, the menu is kinda limited if you don't like fried food or seafood. We started off with the Ahi tuna nachos. They weren't bad but I wish they took the sodium level a few notches down. There also wasn't even tuna on it. I opted for the buddha bowl because I don't care for fried food. The buddha bowl consisted of a lot of fresh and healthy ingredients such as edamame, cucumber, tofu, seaweed salad, carrot, etc. It was also ok. I wasn't impressed at all. read more

We visited friends in Buffalo, New York, who wanted to show us the newly revitalized downtown area, especially Canalside at the west end of the Erie Canal. After exploring the entire area, we were ready for a bite to eat. Our friend recommended Liberty Hound, as it's always packed in the evenings. Luckily, we went on a weekday around lunchtime and had no trouble getting a table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We got a waterfront spot overlooking the canal, and our server quickly took our drink orders.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the Painkiller shown in the picture and ended up having two. For food, our friend enjoyed a delicious chicken sandwich with truffle fries, my wife had a beef on Weck sandwich with fries, and I indulged in a big bowl of fat, juicy mussels with a broth that required two loaves of bread to soak up. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Decided to spend one of the last beautiful days of summer eating alfresco at this waterfront gem.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Monday afternoon, not crowded, no wait. We have been here for drinks before, but never food . Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. My husband and I both opted for a draft beer. I had the chicken and Brie sandwich with a side salad. My husband opted for the Market Salad. Food was plentiful, prepared well and delicious. Would definitely return! read more

The food is great! The Service is the definition of TERRIBLE! The waiter walks slower than the customers. She didn't even asked if we wanted refills. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the cleanliness of our table was horrible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dirt on the chairs, and it was practically bug valley in there, mosquitoes and flies in every nook and cranny.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the Liberty Burger.

I bill-ieve this place is incredible- (night out to watch bandits) this place is TOP NOTCH! Here is why: I show up with fam of 8. Reservations only. We don't have that. We ask for bar seating, empty at the time, they accommodate- tell us "may take time to get to you- we are booked solid". I say: "please take your time"... owner shows up to help, pour cocktails - which were exceptional- and help the staff accommodate. The staff is wonderfully kind and the food is exceptional--- do this often! Go here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Food and accommodations are exceptional![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you for seating us during overflow. I will come back! read more

My Diet Coke was flat, and the pickle tasted like it had been sitting in an old fridge. I ordered the crab BLT, and to my surprise, they fried the whole crab, shell and all and put it straight on the sandwich. I was pulling out crab shell with every bite. It was disgusting, and I couldn't even eat it. Paid $25 for something inedible. Would not recommend. read more

Gorgeous view on the water! We had a few drinks at the high top tables at the end of the dock and also had dinner outside. I really liked the hurricane drink. Food was pretty decent with delish side salad. Wait was long because they were short people in the kitchen. Overall I would recommend read more

I have not been here in awhile. I was able to enjoy one of the last gorgeous summer days on their patio. I indulged with a cold glass of rose and was delighted with my shrimp and crab tostadas. I thought this would be a snack with the rising food costs. I was shocked when 2 huge tostadas came out that were loaded with shrimp and crab meat. There was more seafood than lettuce, that never happens. The shrimp were very big, and both seafood items were very fresh. There was plentiful amounts of both pico de gallo and avocado to round this out. The tostadas were crust and a nice crunch to the dish. I was full after this and wanting more. I need to go back very soon! Good service and the patio was perfect. I highly recommend to eat and have drinks on nice weather days. read more

Stopped in on a nice warm fall day for a beer and lunch. The beer was cold and the food was delicious. We had the seafood chowder which was excellent and the Beef on weck. The beef was tender and piled high on the roll. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great location on the water.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend. read more

Pros: atmosphere. Right on the river really nice. Cons: the food. I got a beef on weck. It was cold on an old weck roll. This was 17 bucks. Enough said. read more

Went in for a large party on a Saturday afternoon. Staff was quick, organized and able to manage multiple allergies and food preferences (even letting me know my sandwich would have some cross contamination with an allergen - not something I'm used to especially in a busy restaurant!) Got the grouper again and was as good as the first time when it was slow in the restaurant. My aunt got the beef on weck and it was PERFECT. read more

Went with a group and overall we all enjoyed the atmosphere and food (one person didn't care for her fish and they took it off her check). I had the Liberty Burger and it was delicious! Came with bacon and cheese so that's always a winning combo. The fries were great as well. The biggest disappointment was my cocktail. I got the hurricane and like others in my party who ordered it was not happy with how weak it was. It tasted like there was little to no alcohol in the drink. It tastes like a mixed fruit juice, but no booze. I'd go back, but stay away from the cocktails next time. read more

This place was on my to-try list for the longest time, but we've only been to Canalside once before because I didn't know about the ferry from Wilkenson Pointe and parking is otherwise a nightmare. We stopped here first before heading to Shark Girl and the new carousel to check if we needed to make reservations, especially since it seemed pretty busy. They said they didn't take them so we decided to come back after. We did, and then they put us on a list for 30-45 minutes which is about as much time as we just spent. I dunno, seems like they could have mentioned the list the first time, and it all would have worked out nicely. They did send a text in less than 30 minutes, so that was nice. Our server Dennis (?) was great. I didn't mind sitting outside. Even on a warm day like today it was preferred, but our seat was just out from under cover, and I had my back directly to the sun. I really wanted to try a drink called the Pink Sparkler but they apparently just ran out that day so I tried the Elderflower Cocktail instead. I knew it had cucumber vodka in it, but I was still taken aback by how cucumber-y it was. It was, after all, called the Elderflower Cocktail, not the Cucumber Cocktail. Not my favorite drink. All that said, the food was fantastic. One son finished his chicken tenders and most of his fries, which almost never happens. The other tried fried shrimp for possibly the first time, and made short work of it. My beer battered fish was huge . Hard to manage, but excellent flavor. Liked the tarter sauce, too. It wasn't overly chunky. I subbed truffle fries with garlic aioli. Those were great, too. The only downside is the fish is so big they serve it on the fries so the fries got a little soggy, but it's such a huge portion, I was getting full anyway. You really do get your money's worth. You're right next to the water if you eat outside, so you do get a nice breeze from the lake, and you can keep an eye out for the ferry if you came from Wilkenson Pointe. read more

Amazing food menu changes and I love that! Service kind and prompt but I could have used more water on a hot day! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love sitting outside watching the world go by[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Definitely one of the best fish fry's in Buffalo hands down. I know people would disagree but honestly it's really good. It's a cool atmosphere to eat at but warning it's small so on a busy night, you'll be waiting to get to table. Service friendly and fast, we were able to be seated in 10 minutes on a Sat night. read more

Great food and service! We ordered beef on weck and a burger and both were great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a little cool and we sat inside, but if we had jackets we would have sat outside to enjoy the views.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Terrible absolutely terrible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was good but the food was not something anyone should eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the fish and chips and the fish lacked flavor but didn't lack in the amount of gross oil came out after cutting a piece off. The fries were soggy and oily. Soda tasted off. The service was ok but it can not redeem the terrible food that was way overpriced for its quality. There are better options. read more

20 min wait to sit outside. Gave the hostess out number, sat at the bar. 40 minutes later we ask her if we missed her text, she got busy with the next reservation & didn't even look at her iPad.

A really great place to go to when at canal side! Little side note they only seat you when everyone from your party is present! Love going here for lunch. The service was fast and the wait staff is friendly. -The Hungarian pepper dip was delicious and was not spicy -my sister ordered the fish tacos. I did try one and it had a funky taste to it. Hers tasted better though. - the shrimp po boy was delicious - my grandma ordered the fish fry which was huge with an amazing crisp to it! - the cocktails are so summery and refreshing too! read more

Came here for a nice dinner outside overlooking the Erie Canal Harbor and waterfront. We didn't have a reservation but told it would only be a 30 minute wait for a table outside. Went to the bar for a drink as we waited, bar is small and crowed. Got a brooklyn summer ale and found a place to stand and wait. We were seated at an outside table after about 20 minutes, nice view of canalside. I ordered the diver scallops with charred Brussels sprouts and fingerling potatoes. Scallops were tender and flavorful, loved the sprouts! I also had a dos baja taco, the shrimp one.... delicious! It did get a bit chilly as the sun went down, bring a light sweater if coming later in the evening. Our server was nice but i needed to hunt her down for another drink. read more
