Stopped there for dinner. I got the chicken thighs, the mac & cheese as a side and the jambalaya sausage rice comes with cornbread and a choice of two different sauces. And a side order of french fries I got it's a very cool building when you walk inside with the fireplace sitting area if you want to sit, have a drink. Small bar but excellent . I would definitely recommend if you're looking for some good barbecue. read more

Popped into this place this afternoon with a friend to have a little Beer & BBQ and was not disappointed. The place itself is inviting as you pull up, it's basically a victorian style house converted into what is a very cool, casual, dog friendly, brewery & eatery. The service was instantly friendly, inviting and knowledgeable about their beer selection. I tried several and all were really good. Note: if you like sours try the Cherry Cobbler sour it is over the top tasty! Also had the Cran Orange Ale which I could have drink a second one of easily too. Now on to the food... I am from Texas, and am a bit picky over BBQ, especially Brisket. Y'all there's nothing worse than a dry piece of smoked brisket... just sayin'. Anyway, I ordered a couple apps and the two meat plate with Chicken & Brisket, Beans, Slaw & the Mac Salad. Y'all, the brisket was moist tender and nicely marbled. I ate half of it before even opening the sauces! Same to be said for the Chicken, it was tender, with the perfect little hint of smoke, legit delicious! I highly recommend this spot when visiting the area... I will definitely be back my next time through. read more

Cool place, very modern, well appointed and friendly. Lots of beverage choices: beer, wine, cocktails, mead, and ciders. Beer made on site was very tasty. Food is provided by Pork Bellies BBQ. We had the Double Meat Platter with Double Brisket, Jambalaya rice, and loaded baked potato potato salad. All of the above was well prepared and flavorful. read more

I've been wanting to try their BBQ since I heard their commercial on the radio and finally got the opportunity. My friend joined me and neither of us drink much alcohol so we were strictly there for food. There is no wait staff. I was glad they brought our food out to us, at least, but basically you can order from the table by scanning the code and grab your food from the pick up window or order from the bar when ready. So after sitting and deciding our meal we went up to the bar. We waited a moment and a staff member took our order. To be noted: they do not have drinks on tap, like Pepsi or Coke. The explanation was that there simply is no room. Can't order a jack and coke for example. They do have bottled Stewart's soda. There is no diet soda option. There weren't a lot of food options. And 2 choices were marked sold out. I was still happy with my options and meal. Our food didn't take long at all. I enjoyed the brisket (chose two sauces) and my two sides (mac and cheese and loaded potato salad). For the sauces, I had the OG BBQ and Tennessee Red. The red was a little spicy but nothing overwhelming. Both were good. They had about 5 more sauce options to choose from. To finish checking out, we had to stand at the bar and wait. That's probably the only thing I didn't like was not having wait staff or drink refills. Otherwise, both staff and patrons were very polite and personable. Even though it looks fancy on the outside it's casual. You can dress up or down and be perfectly fine there. They had a TV up with trivia questions too. read more

Awesome bbq. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I do wish that the online and physical menus both had descriptions for some of the side dishes though. The two meat platter was a great deal, I am wondering why some of the menu items that seemed like appetizers were a bit pricey though. Are the fries $8 because it's a really large portion? It would help if that info was on the menu! The cornbread was a bit on the sweet/cakey side for my tastes but everything else was so delicious (brisket, smokey mountain sauce, cole slaw, mac salad, all 10/10.) I tried a chocolate style dark beer, best I've had in ages. Will def be back! read more

Great bbq, great beer selection, friendly employees, and different but nice environment in an old converted home. I would go back if I was in the area again. read more

Came on a Friday night for a fish fry. The piece of fish was large, lightly seasoned with black pepper and salt, and super flaky. It came with a dill pickle Mac salad which was delicious, and coleslaw, fries, ketchup, tartar sauce and a lemon wedge. All of it was enjoyable and it was a large portion. They have a variety of beers on tap and two kombuchas on tap as well. I enjoyed their cream ale and Irish red beers. They also serve wine. We sat at the bar and there were coat hooks. Service was great! I will say it was a little awkward to eat at the bar due to the height of the bar stool and large ledge, so I wouldn't sit there again for dinner. Atmosphere: there's a variety of seating including high top tables and couch seating. You need to order food and drinks either at the bar or through your phone by scanning a QR code. They have a private parking lot but it's not huge, so we had to park a block away. I got the impression they draw a lot of regulars while we were there on a Friday. read more

We were looking for our first fish fry of this lent season and saw they have them. The fish fry was great. Good sized fish, fries were good, the macaroni salad was great and the coleslaw was good. Although I knew I'd be stuffed I had to get the fried cheese curds too. I love fried cheese curds and rarely see them in WNY. They were great. The Alabama white sauce went well with them. The beer was also great. Had the brown ale, my wife had the cream ale, and we split the Irish red. Each was distinct and tasty. read more

Pork Bellies BBQ: Seems that their menu changes every so often because there's different items than when we came here last time. I was hoping to get the burnt ends again but they weren't on the menu today. (Still wishing they would do a slider trio with 3 different sliders) Mac Attack Brisket Sliders 7/10 Not as good as the last time I had these. Rating is mostly because of inconsistencies. The mac and cheese is very plain noodle tasting. Needs more cheese for sure. Slider 1: 7/10 the meat is a little too dry and doesn't really taste like anything to me. I definitely need more sauce. I think it was from the smaller end of the pork so it cooked faster and had a little more bark on it. Slider 2: 9/10 you could tell this meat was from the pork butt, it tasted completely different. It was juicy and a more flavorful cut of meat. I still would like a tiny bit more sauce. Just a couple drops. Slider 3: 8/10 was more on the dry side with some juicy bits in there. Kind of a combination of the first two. Cheesy Corn Bites 9/10. You get 7 bites, which is plenty to share between two people. I definitely don't get any cheese flavor, but they do have a great elote flavor, which is a little spicy for me personally. I need to take breaks in between each individual corn bite, but I still ate them all! Lightning sauce is horse radishy, but if you just dip a tiny bit on the bite, you barely taste it. read more

Loved it here! They smoke the wings and then fry them and have a bunch of homemade sauces so they had a deliciously unique flavor. Chicken waffle sandwich was delicious as well. Good beer. Good music. Board games and a popcorn machine too! read more

Neat place. Nanobrewery serving high quality craft beer and BBQ. Good use of the indoor space which is segmented into various rooms. The outdoor space/patio was hopping and definitely a huge draw when the weather's good. Ordering process is great. You place your order on the app and pick it up when you get an alert on your phone. Sorta like Panera Bread, but your phone is both the kiosk and the buzzer. FOOD Small Plate (Burnt Ends) - very tender and juicy. Sweeter than I've ever had, but tasty. Dish wasn't as hot (temperature) as I would like it. BBQuterie Board (Brisket, Pulled Pork, Sausage and Chicken) - Excellent offering, so you can try a lot of items. Everything was very good. I'm usually a big fan of brisket, but I have to say that the Chicken was the best. Again, temperature should have been warmer. Sides (Coleslaw, Macaroni Salad, and Mac and Cheese) - Coleslaw and Macaroni Salad were excellent. Mac and Cheese was good. DRINKS Beer (flight) - They offered 10 different beers. I had a flight of 4 beers and they were all very good. Nanobrewery + BBQ is a great concept. Ordering process is very impressive. A very good night out for casual food and drinks. read more

Nice to see this building (the old Pairings wine bar) tranformed into this brewery! I made a midweek visit about 4:30, found a spot bar the bar was happy to see a familiar face and meet a few new ones.I also couldn't wait to start sampling so I choose a flight of 4. Great way to familiarize yourself with their offerings. I loved every single one of my choices and decided on a pint of my top pick but not before ordering some food from the small plate weekday menu. Was I disappointed there was no full blown barbecue or barbqcuterie should I say on the menu? Yes, but that's now the excuse to come back on the weekend! The outdoor patio look to be hopping on a Wednesday. Next visit I'll sit outside! read more

Stopped in here for some celebratory drinks with some friends during Music on Main to check it out after their recent opening. We were lucky enough to snag parking spots in their small parking lot (there is some street parking available as well) and a table on their lawn. I loved the patio set up and they had a singer performing which was great. We all opted for flights so we could try a bunch of their beers. I wasn't overly impressed with the beers themselves but I'm sure as they get more comfortable they will improve. They weren't bad or anything but weren't anything to write home about either. The food offerings were mostly fried food which was a bit disappointing so I hope they expand that in the future as well. Overall, really cool place and I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops. Glad to see the old Pairings house occupied. read more

I went for brunch last weekend and was super impressed! The inside is unique and provides different options for seating. The front room has some games stashed next to the tv too if you're with a group! The mimosa was good and only $5. It was filled to the top which is a plus. They also offer a selection of beers they brew themselves and some additional options. The restaurant is technically another business within the brewery and you order via your phone and QR code. It's very convenient and easy to use. There is a brunch menu for Sunday and it changes weekly. I ordered the brisket Benny and the corn cheddar bites to try. First of all, the corn cheddar bites were so yummy! The perfect crunch on the outside with corn and cheese on the inside. It comes with a white bbq sauce for dipping which I also really liked. The brisket Benny was a real treat!! I did not expect as much brisket as I got and it was mouthwatering. The Benny comes on a sugared waffle instead of an English muffin. The hollandaise was good and the egg was poached perfectly. I fully intend to return to try some brews and more bbq. read more

Good fish fry. Not many sides as most and they sell out quickly on Fridays. Crispy fish with a beer batter and not too greasy.

We stumbled upon this place and had a great experience! the bartenders were very sweet and helpful and the owner Brandon was awesome!! We felt very welcome and the ambiance was really cool. and the free beer was nothing to complain about read more

I had the opportunity to grab a nice cold beer with a friend this past Friday at the former Pairings Wine Bar . We were fortunate to grab a nice spot at the front bar (the space is cozy ) . The owner/bartender welcomed any questions we had regarding the menu, which included about 8 of their drafts , kombucha and some wine . Pork Bellies BBQ shares a space with the brewery, in case you want to grab something to soak up the alcohol (we had dinner somewhere else, so we did not partake). I gravitate towards Saisons , and found theirs to be tasty and well balanced (but a bit steep at $10) . My friend enjoyed her glass of Gewürztraminer. The decor does have some random cat decor- One-eyed of course! (I noticed a piece in particular that my father gave them at their grand opening ) . They do have a nice patio with a fire pit , but it was a bit chilly for me that evening . Hopefully, with time they can expand their beverage selection (especially with more brews) . I would definitely enjoy having a beer and maybe some bbq out on that patio! Cheers! read more

Small brewery on Main St. in Williamsville--park on the side street or in the parking lot of the closed Milo's restaurant next door. Not a lot of space indoors, but they make the most of it. BBQ available for eats (we didn't partake) and several of their own beers on tap. Dog-friendly patio. Hubby said beer was "ok", but didn't rave about it. read more

These guys use Hog Blues Sauces and call them their own... Alright just going to say ordered catering with pork belly bbq and they were great but they didn't give us what we wanted. They gave us slider rolls instead of cole slaw....not that much if a problem until... Just came here for a few beers and wanted to get some food. Still unimpressed, guys from Pork Belly BBQ. They give super small portions for a bbq place AND are drinking beers while they work. Not a fan of this. Should mention they are sniffling and keep wiping their nose while cooking and not washing hands. Service was good but the cooks make me want to throw my food out. Keep in mind they use pre made sauces and don't make their own. They use Blues Hog BBQ sauce....beer is great but food is scamming you. The setting is comfy, but it is in a renovated house with no open space. Weird concept but seems the new age concept. Beers 8/10 Food 2/10 read more

Immediately felt comfortable and welcomed. The staff was very friendly and I loved how there was BBQ in the place as well so we could eat and drink. There is outdoor seating in addition to indoor. We ordered food using QR codes on the table and the BBQ didn't let us down. For drinks, I ordered kombucha which I was pleasantly surprised was on the menu. Overall they had a nice variety of beers on tap. Will be coming back soon ! read more

Super friendly bar and bbq counter service, nice selection of brews, and AMAZING bbq. I highly recommend the platter, the sliders. sweet potato puffs, and fried cheese curds. Truly, I haven't tasted anything here that I didn't find totally delicious. read more

Really cool brewery inside an old house on the main drag. No food available due to the kitchen being closed. Server allowed us to sample multiple beers, but served pours in a plastic cup "in case you want to go outside", despite the fact that it was raining and we said we were staying inside. Seemed like they just didn't want to do dishes because every grouping after us was told the same thing and given plastic. Server gave us several excellent recommendations for elsewhere in town. read more

This place is an awesome hang out for a some smalls bites and drinks or a full meal. There's a bar and some big cozy chairs with games by a fireplace so it feels really homey. The ordering process was super easy as the brewery and BBQ are separate. I'm not a huge beer person nor do I know a lot about it so I just picked something and I really enjoyed it. The BBQ was incredible. The prices are reasonable for the area and the portions you get. The cheese curds were so addicting and crispy as well as the fries. I hate a soggy fry and these were just right. The brisket Mac sliders sounded boring but I tried a bite of my partners and the brisket added so much flavor. We'll def put this place in the rotation. read more

I'm stunned. Left speechless by the sheer shock that befell me when I took a bite of the sand block, sorry, I mean corn bread. A distant last place for corn bread. I'd have preferred to not have had the corn bread at all on the platter then to eat that thing. The meat was ok at least, but they were so stingy giving two tiny cups of bbq sauce that you have to make last. Maybe there's a shortage on bbq sauce I didn't know about. read more

So cute. Love the outdoor atmosphere w/ the tables and games. Didn't try the food ,but it looked really good from the people around us eating it. Will definitely be back read more

Hilltop fills an important niche in restaurants in our area. Best fish fry I've had in a long time. Servers are super nice an efficient. Prices reasonable. We brought home desserts that were delicious! One slice of cheesecake and a piece of lemon meringue pie. read more

Cool place. We split the triple platter. Generous meat servings but sides could be bigger. Only real negative is the overuse of plastics.
