Walking in it is a Bar. Now after you get past the bar there is a lot of seating. It is very welcoming once you get by the bar. The waitress was the friendliest person I have seen in this area in a long time. The food was amazing. I got the pull my finger chicken and pulled pork sandwich. It was huge and a lot more than I could eat at one sitting. I also got the buffalo chicken dip and may have filled up a little before I got my sandwich. We will be back here again even if it's out of the way. Great food with great service is hard to find these days. read more

The Icelandic haddock scampi style was EPIC. If you love drawn butter, this is the meal for you. Also, the Friday beer battered fish was HUGE, with yummy sides. Both meals were so affordable. Best fish in the Southern Tier!! Thank You, Randy's for making our date night great!!! read more

I have made many bad decisions in my life at 11 o'clock at night, but this was absolutely not one of them. Coming into town late on a business trip, there aren't many options for food. Yelp helped me find Randy's just down the road from my hotel and I went for it. I had a great steak dinner, a cold beer, amazing, friendly service, and nonstop local flavor entertainment as patrons came and went. If this place was a reality TV show, I would be watching it. Give Randy's a try you won't regret it. The food is amazing and the people and the place are legendary. read more

Randy's Up the River - Steak night, special strip, steak, delicious salt, potatoes, garnished with mushroom and onion. - Pubs Near Me - Allegany, New York

Randy's up the river is my child hood restaurant. I live close by - but that place holds every single one of my memories. Playing pool was so much fun and the burgers were so so so good. I knew almost every waiter and waitress in there and I loved chatting with drunk men. We always had my mothers birthday in their and I remember going in the kitchen and hanging out with just the cooks and me - making my mothers birthday cake every year in May. I always recommended by me and my family! read more

16oz Steak that was highly recommended and also the most expensive meal was a let down it had no sear and was not seasoned at all just a home cooked steak very disappointing customer service was good tho read more

Nice atmosphere for lunch and service was outstanding! Food was very good, had the "Jack Hammer" (Layers of Ham, Pepperoni, & Cooney's Mountain Mustard between two Grilled Pepper Jack Cheese Sandwiches) with French fries and both were outstanding!! Had the mustard on the side to dip the sandwich and fries, recommend that way to enjoy the sandwich flavor without over powering by the mustard. Wife had the Wings and side salad which she said meets her standard (she's from the Buffalo area). Mother had the Philly cheesesteak which was good but a bit sloppy. Recommend this location for at least lunch, will have to try dinner there sometime, apparently they have a Steak Dinner deal on Thursday! Enjoy. read more

Sunday night- got diverted from their sister restaurant. Off the main road but a great place for pub style meal. The fried mushrooms were really good. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was tasty and reasonable quick. Place was clean. read more

Best food around. Open every single day of the year which is so nice for people who do not have families

Food was delicious and waitress was wonderful, and great atmosphere. I would recommend this bar & grill

Very fun, super casual, our server was very funny- good portion sizes! Go here to hang out in a nice setting, sit outside

They are known for their wings, large variety of specialty burgers, football games, and fries. The burgers and fries will blow you away. The Philly burger was mouth watering good and savory. The ranch is thick, creamy, and perfectly tangy. I wasn't the biggest fan of the butterfly shrimp though. Aside from that the food, service,multiple games broadcast, staff, cleanliness, prices, and speed of service were impressive. I'll gladly come again. read more

We went here recently with a few other couples as one of our friends was in the mood for wings and these were advertised favorably. I didn't know at the time we were going to turn this into a meal, but that is what happened. First off, the service was very good. There were several people who attended to us and kept checking in to make sure we were doing okay. We had wings, fries and fried mushrooms. A few other items I remember were french onion soup, a burger and perhaps something else I am forgetting. The Fries were fantastic. The fried mushrooms started as an afterthough but we ended up with two baskets of them, and the portions were huge. We easily could have just gone with one. The big problem was the wings. We ordered I think 35-40 between the two tables we pulled together. When they came, I could tell immediately that they were cold underneath and then they just doused them with hot sauce to try and cover it up. This is exactly the way I do not like wings served but it happens a lot, even in Buffalo. It's probably more of an issue of timing but these wings were not good at all and we left about half of them behind. Someone asked why we didn't send them back and my thought was I didn't have the time or confidence that they would come out properly again. We ordered them, we paid for them and that is that. If I went back, I'd just order a burger, or maybe a fish sandwich and add the fries or a side salad. I am sure they would nail that. Wings are tougher to perfect. read more

First day cross country trip. Cancel camping, storm, motel, find dog friendly food place. We ate on the porch with a big storm. The waiter was great, we talked about family camping, food great, fries, beans, chicken, more staff came out, talked to the dog and us too. What the hell more could you want for day one. read more

It has been over 2 years since I have been back home (Olean) and Randy's wings were one of the *must haves* on my list for while there. Maybe it is because the Chicken/ Buffalo Wing originated in this area or maybe Michigan just doesn't know how to make them but I have yet to find anywhere that has wings like they do here (WNY), and Randy's is certainly at the top of that list! The wings are crispy & meaty; cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend the Jack Daniel's wings but if my memory serves me right, the 24-Carat Gold are equally as great. And their blue cheese, there is definitely nothing like that back in MI. Thank you, Randy's, for being one of the few things that hasn't changed back home!!!! I'm already looking forward to my next trip back to have them again. read more

Good food. This is a family friendly gathering spot. Wednesday night trivia is really fun. The wait staff are attentive and knowledgeable.

Went there Christmas night ordered a roast beef sandwich rare & fries. The beef what little there was ice cold aju was ice cold. My food came out had no silverware napkin nothing. Go somewhere else . read more

Food was ok, not good tasting. nothing to write home about , service was ok . New girl . Don't think we will go back. Ambiance we were right over the air about froze us out . read more

It was a Sunday night in Olean. So not much was open, except for Randy's. It wasn't bad, it just was average pub food. The wings were ok. The appetizers fine. I had a prime rib sando. It was ok. To be fair, there was something going on at St. Bonaventure University. The staff was slammed. I'll probably go there again. read more

Fun night. We stumbled on Randy's on way to visiting relatives on a Sunday night. Not much else was open. Glad we found it. BBQ w jack Daniels was awesome. Would go back! read more

Favorite wings around and the Chicken finger pulled pork sammy is amazing!

Could not of been more pleased! Went in just to check the menu and possibly something to take with me at almost 11 o'clock at night and very few places open! From the moment I walked in to the moment I walked out i felt comfortable and relaxed that I even ate my dinner inside and got so to go for my other half who was sleeping in the car!! (lol) Thank you for a excellent meal and wonderful atmosphere! read more

always a great place to have a bite. Food is great. Nice atmosphere and the service is fine.

We have been ordering take out from Randy's a few times every month during the pandemic. Fastest service around. They say 'it'll be ready in 15 minutes', and they are always right. Highly recommend their chicken wings (huge, multiple flavors), and burgers. Friendly staff adds to the quality experience. read more

Randy's was recommended to me by a friend as a good place to go for a fish fry. It was good, but not great. The sides were brought out ahead of the fish; far enough ahead so that they were long gone by the time the fish arrived. The fish was good-sized and had a pretty decent beer batter. The price was really reasonable; at first we thought they had forgotten to charge us for one of our dinners. The dining room and bar are dark, cozy and very casual. I will definitely be back some time for their wings, even though it's a little bit of a trek from my hometown. We were there for the food, but it seems like a pretty cool bar to hang out at. There was a really eclectic group of people; everyone from college students to bikers, the night that we were there. If I still lived in the area, it would definitely be one of my regular watering holes. read more

This is the second time this week we've been here. That alone says something about this place. The food and drinks are delicious, I recommend the friday night fish fry! But the thing I want to talk about is the outstanding service. Earlier this week we had Crystal and she was running around like crazy and taking care of her customers with a positive attitude and great service. Tonight we had Kelly who was absolutely amazing and so much fun! She even came to the table to do a shot with me! You can't get much better or fun service than this place. We will be going back again before we leave this town! Great work ladies!!! read more

Good vibes, tasty F#*kin food and pretty easy on the pockets! Definitely spot to check out when you're in town!

This place is a great bar/restaurant. They are known for their delicious wings in a vast array of flavors. Our group started off with a sampler platter called "hodge podge", which included an assortment of their fried appetizers-breaded cauliflower and mushrooms, mac n cheese bites, pizza logs, cheese sticks, poppers, onion rings. A caloric overload for sure, but you don't want to pass this up! The wings are the star of the show- ordered crispy, and are meaty and larger in size, as advertised. Loved the 24 carat gold sauce, and mild wing sauce. If you love good wings, gotta get the mild flavor right! These wings are just plain good eating!!! Enjoyed the decor and river setting. A live band was setting up when we were there. Not a bad place to get some good wings! read more

Great atmosphere and good food! Stop in for a run bucket and a burger! Trivia on Wednesday night is a lot of fun! read more

This is a very cute bar. Service: my mother, sister and I were there about 4pm. One waitress at the time for all the tables ans she kept up very well. Was great with questions and suggestions. Food: If you are looking for a greasy tasty meal then this place is perfect. Their wings are crispy and nicely sized. The mini corndogs are a nice fair food starter. I had the ridiculous Gorilla burger. That was a huge pile of crazy deliciousness. A juicy burger between two grilled cheese sandwiches. I felt so ashamed yet extremely thrilled after I finished it. Atmosphere: Its decorated fairly adorable for a riverside bar. And yes its got a rougher crowd at night. But its definitely worth checking out. Especially when you just want straight to the point tasty bar food. I was hapoy we came here and i will be back. If not just for the jalepeno cheese stuffed pretzel. read more

Randy's has the best wings on the planet, hands down. The 24K are unmatched. Can't wait to get back to Allegany for a Bonnies game and a couple dozen wings. "Fast food isn't good and good food isn't fast" read more

Holy crap! The Gorilla was awesome! I also saw a Pittsburgh Salad...tossed salad with French Fries...another future option (when I'm dieting). Should I come to Olean area again, this will be the "go to" place. read more

I've been in Olean all week and found this place based on reviews. Everything I've had here (wings, burger, cheesesteak) has been tasty and the prices are reasonable. Would recommend to anyone looking for a cold beer and some good food. read more

Beer battered fish was good and so was the butterfly shrimp...reasonable pricing...attentive and friendly wait staff...

On our drive to Madison my wife was looking up places to eat and thought Randy's had a lot of promise. I'm typically a fan of dive bars so we gave it a shot. Place didn't seem to busy so it seemed like it would be a nice quick dinner before getting back on the road. I was wrong... We sat for about 10 minutes before receiving menus, we were then told by the waitress that she'd be right back. Well after 15 minutes of checking other tables and then literally starting to clean them she came over and apologized about forgetting about us. Fair enough things happen at least she was nice and the food wood come fast right? Haha nope. We ordered some boneless wing dings? And two sandwiches. It took roughly 40 minutes for us to receive our entire order. The wings (basically Tyson's anytizers) weren't great but we did enjoy our sandwiches. So two stars instead of one because we did enjoy the sandwiches. But I mean having to wait an hour for sandwiches in a place that wasn't even at half its capacity is insane. read more

Ran into this place driving home from New York... super nice waitress and was very impressed with the food for a small little joint. The philly burger was delicious we also got the all American burger which was good we tried the "crystals crack" flavored wings what a great flavor!!! read more

Wings are terrific and the fish fry on Fridays can't be beat. Totally embarrassed we ordered the Hodge Podge of fried everything and It was so good ! I never fry at home so it was a fun treat. Friendly waitress Tiffany read more

Came for Monday wing night. 45 cent wings that were cooked perfectly. They were absolutely delicious. I also received a large portion of fries as well. Server was funny, and all employees were personable. This place reminded me of a modern day saloon. I have heard locals call this a biker bar, but from what I saw there were people from all walks of life. I would most definitely go there again, and it is highly recommended that you try it too. read more

Things were moving a bit slow because we ate there the day after the kitchen caught on fire!! There was a limited menu, but it was still great. The bear batter fish was something that I will defiantly be back for in the future read more
