I hadn't been here in years, but we had a great time last night! The highlight of the evening was definitely the live band. I don't know their name, but they were fantastic and really elevated the atmosphere. If there's a band performing when you visit, it's worth checking out. The service was a bit slow, likely because they seemed to be short-staffed. It took a while to receive our drinks and appetizers, and a few items were missed during our visit. That said, the staff was friendly, there was plenty of seating available, and the jukebox was a fun touch. One thing to note: they had several fans running throughout the space, so it got a little chilly at times. Overall, though, it's a fun late-night spot with a lively vibe, and we'd definitely consider coming back. read more

My friend and I met up to watch the Sabres game . Great atmosphere for a low key sports bar, attentive friendly bartenders. Reasonable drink prices, not sure on how the food was, as I just drank, and watched the game. My friend ordered an open face turkey, he said was a bit bland. Fun decor for Buffalo Sabres, pizza was served after they won, and looked like loaded nachos when we arrived. Overall, perfect local bar and atmosphere for sports watching. read more

First time visiting and the quality of the food was great! I got a crock of the French Onion Soup (I have a rule that I have to try it anywhere I go) and it was very good! It was savory, flavorful, and not overly salty. The Chicken Finger Tommy (sub) was very good, not messy at all. I also had a couple Bloody Marys that were good as well. The service was a little slow considering it wasn't busy at all. read more

I have done a few pickup ordered here, but have never sat down to eat in. It's a pretty clean and classic looking bar, staff is always friendly and the food is great. I love their house salad. It's a huge portion with lettuce, tomato, cheese, bacon, avocado, and hard boiled egg. They have several dressings to choose from, but I love their ranch, I'm not sure if it's homemade or not but it's very good. This time I opted to get their French onion soup cup to go, I was nervous about how it would come out but it was surprisingly packaged well in a nice little plastic container. Soup was absolutely delish ! All in all a great place to get some good eats. And the prices are competitive to other similar places in the area. read more

Try the French onion soup! Perfect for a very cold winter night. Savory. Cheesy. You won't go wrong. Our server was handling a big crowd playing a card game "bunco" she did a great job to take care of all of us. There was a crowd of younger people playing bingo on a Thursday night and just having a great time. This is the iconic local bar "where everybody knows your name" sort of thing. I'll definitely be back to sample more on their menu, and perhaps watch the Bills play. Lots of screens. read more

Great vibes and great food! Went in here on an overnight stay in Buffalo and had some of the best bar food I've eaten in a while. The staff were awesome. Would definitely recommend and will go back when I'm in town next. read more

I came here years ago for some drinks and appreciated the number of dart boards available but don't remember much else. Recently, I have noticed some groups gather here for games ... I know a group of ladies that they allow to play bunco here (of course, in return, one would be expected to order some drinks and/or food as a thank you). And during my dinner here, I noticed some other people circled around table playing games as well. I think it's nice of this place to give people a place to gather like that. As for me and my friend's experience, my favorite part was the service! Out waitress was wonderful - she was friendly and really great with timing. In addition, two other staff members checked on us as well! And the food came out quick too. The ambiance, although having a sizable menu and not just a tiny menu of deep fried foods, was really just that of eating in a bar - the music was loud and nothing fancy at all - which is great when you just want to be casual as heck! I ordered the pot roast with salad instead of soup; but my friend let me tried her beef on weck soup and it was excellent! The salad I wouldn't get again - although I absolutely appreciated that it wasn't iceberg lettuce! But the dressing they gave me was so small and it didn't have enough flavor for me either and the other toppings were lacking too and not distributed right so it was hard to get a forkful and a lot of pieces were just landing in the table lol and when I got a bite it was kind of like just eating dry lettuce (and i think spinach was in it). If you get the salad, I would ask for double dressing and maybe something other than the house Italian. But that's just me. The pot roast was decent. More than the meat, I liked the potatoes and gravy the best. That was my favorite part. It also came with carrots and a roll with some butter on the side (shout out for having spreadable butter by the way! I can't stand when it's hard!) It wasn't a bad meal At all ESPECIALLY for a bar! But I think I would try something else next time. For dessert we shared a slice of cheesecake. It wasn't very big, which was fine because we were pretty full ... it can come plain or you can have whipped cream and rasberry sauce too. This is the only dessert option FYI. Drinks (non alcoholic) are Pepsi products - but no Mountain Dew. read more

We found 33 Speakeasy Grill on the way to the airport after five days in Niagara Falls. The staff were friendly and the food was great. We both order the build your own burger. The meat was cooked perfectly and the other ingredients were fresh. It was one of the best meals we had on the entire trip, if not the best meals. The only issue is I am not sure I can eat another burger because I will always compare them to 33 Speak Easy Grill's burger.. Thanks to the staff and cook for making this a memorable experience. read more

My coworkers and I had lunch at the 33 Speakeasy a few weeks back. It was a Monday.... So there wasn't much of a lunch crowd, but the bar area was packed.... Seems like a popular place for the regulars to meet and catch up.... They all seemed quite friendly and were having a good time and keeping the bartender ( who also doubled as our server) pretty busy. She was very friendly and told us to feel free to holler if we needed anything. I had the French onion soup and a meatball bomber. French onion soup was really good and the bomber was pretty solid. I would definitely go back at some point. read more

Came here for DJ Trivia playoffs and enjoyed drinks, dinner and trivia with friends. This is the type of bar-restaurant that's great for both getting drinks and American food with friends. Their menu includes several appetizers and entrees. They also have a full bar and several craft beers on tap. For dinner, I ordered a Sam Adams Cold Snap, the Beef on Weck soup, and the homemade crab cakes appetizer. My favorite of the three was the Beef on Weck soup which was award-winning quality in my opinion! It was absolutely delicious and spot on to what I hoped a Beef on Weck soup could be. The crab cakes were OK, they had a lot of breading in them. Service was quick. Our waitress came over right away to take our drinks and food order, and food came out quickly as well. This is the type of place I'd come back to, to hangout with friends for a drink and share apps. read more

Horrible experience with a male bartender ( older white male with grey facial hair, and a larger build. that was clearly tipsy as we watched him take shoots with customers and his behavior was off putting. I don't know his name as he didn't introduce himself. He actually was ignoring us. I got his attention and asked him to take the order of the gentleman behind me. I had orders previously and received my food. They have the regular menu and a one sheet paper menu with specials that were $12.33. On the paper menu are specials. I was well advised of all the specials by the lady bartender who actually came to me with a smile and courtesy and took my order. She gave me the differences between the paper menu and the same items on the regular menu. After which I ordered the Speakeasy 33 burger. It's a regular burger that comes with lettuce, tomato, onion and cheese and mayo. I had the option to add to additional items for free. I added avocado that's it. No additional item although I thought about getting an egg as the bartender told me that was also an option. It came with 33 chips or fries at no additional cost. I asked to pay for my food immediately. My total was roughly $13.51 and I tipped the bartender $5.00 bring my total to almost $19.00. Now back to the male bartender I told him that we would like to order the same thing I have as I pointed to my plate and asked for the speakeasy 33. The bartender said okay the 33. I said oh no not the 33, the speakeasy 33 ( as I pointed to the top on the paper menu) right here, this one please. He said okay like I said the 33. Because there was a special directly beneath the speakeasy 33 called the 33, I kept reiterating to the bartender that we wanted the item on the top of the menu, the speakeasy. After a little more back and forth and a horrible attitude he took the order and came back with a total of $15 and some change. The guy I was with paid and I said why was ures more than mine when you got the same thing? He repeated the same. We discussed that I would ask why the price difference. As the bartender returned in our area I called him over and said " I believe there was a mistake as he ordered the same meal as me and the price is roughly $2 more than mine. He told me it wasn't more, that he put in the right price, that I didn't know what I was talking about at which point I retrieved my receipt from my purse to show him. He refused to look at it. I stated either there was a mistake with my order or with his but there was clearly a mistake and could he please call over the female bartender that served me? He refused to and said he knows the menu and the bar. Long story short he charged the guy I was with for avocado and said we ordered a build a burger from the regular menu. We both stated that he didn't he said yes we did and he was going back and forth about it, that's the price blah blah and he was rude and disrespectful. Then he told us that he didn't charge him for the stuffed banana pepper. What? I said that's a totally different sandwich. That's the 33. And if we had ordered it you couldn't charge for it because it is a part of the sandwich. He said no its not! Hilarious! When I Read the paper menu it describes each sandwich. The gentleman next me and I as well as the lady bartender were discussing the 33 burger which is actually not a burger it's a steak sandwich that comes with a stuffed pepper between garlic bread. We discussed how he comes in and orders the same thing at least once a week. I noticed the female bartender say something to him several minutes later at which point he came over and placed money on the bar in front of the guy I was with and said this is the difference that I owe you for the avocado and walked away. The way I worded this review does not represent the audacity and rudeness off the male bartender. The one star review is because I had to leave at least one star. My experience on this night was extremely poor based off of the interactions with this male bartender. I was so annoyed I didn't eat my food. I boxed it up and took it home. I did take two bites at the bar and tasted the chips. The chips weren't seasoned at all the they were okay. The texture was good. Had they been freshly fried and hot they would've tasted better. The burger was kind of dry, more likely because I asked for it to be made well done. Not everyone can make meat well done and juicy. Overall it was a decent burger. I'd order it again. This experience won't stop me from frequenting this establishment, I just won't utilize the services of said male bartender. read more

The 33 Speakeasy Grill - 12.33 burger off the specialty burger. - Speakeasies Near Me - Cheektowaga, New York

Slightly divey in a good way. Food was delicious. Had the french dip and substituted onion rings for the side for a slight upcharge but cheaper than the full side order. Sandwich was great cheese was fully melted and the beef was tender. The au jus was flavorful but not overly salty. Ended up getting a bowl of beef on weck soup after I finished the sandwich as I had tasted my wife's and it was delicious. Decent draft beer selection. Service was good, they were busy due to DJ Trivia playoffs but the waitress still was able to stop by our table frequently. read more

Food was very solid. French onion soup in a crock had perfectly caramelized onions and lots of melty cheese. I had the Roast Beef sandwich on a Kimmelweck roll with horseradish. Roast beef was thin sliced and juicy, and the kimmelweck was a first/ I'd never even heard of one before. Caesar salad was huge! However, the star of the show was our waitress. She was funnier than her T-shirt (and it was good); totally on point with suggestions on the menu; best if all when she heard us talking about the botanical gardens she sent us to the Basilica which was right around the corner and absolutely awe-inspiring. Thank you, sweet lady! read more

Beef on Weck / Roast beef sandwich is supposedly Buffalo's specialty and 33 Speakeasy Grill. Poor sandwich. 4 pieces of microwaved beef on a dry bun. No lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup or anything to put on the sandwich except teaspoon of horseradish. Thet also gave 5 or 6 potatoes chips. Poor service also. read more

Would not recommend for large groups or business events! Off the strength of their delicious chicken wings and late night availability, I decided to try them out for a work event. We had a small party of 15 guests and had reserved in advance. It was requested that we sent over dinner selections prior, which we did. However, it was terrible communication through the whole process. None of our calls were being returned to follow up after we had confirmed and sent over selections. When we arrived for the event, we were told there was no record of our reservation and the woman, Stephanie, who had taken the reservation had quit two weeks prior. As a result, we had to all order a la carte new items off the menu. The server for our table was really nice and apologetic. The wings were delicious as always, but for some of our party who ordered pasta it wasn't the case. I'm not sure if the alfredo sauce or what in the pasta wasn't good, but it wasn't good on the stomach for anyone. Still think they have great servers, but I would not do a large event again. read more

The service was great. They knew a lot about the menu and what was gluten free and not. The stuffed pepper on the appetizer were not too spicy and the blend of cheese was good. There were big portions we were not able to finish the dinner because of the soup and apps. It was live karaoke the night we went and made for a fun evening with the music. The tables were close together, so it got to be a bit loud but to expected for the type of restaurant it is. read more

We definitely turned heads as we walked in because we looked out of place. Although it was a shaky start, we had a great server named Steve who made us feel welcomed! The food was great, reasonably priced, and they accommodated my requests for a gluten free and vegan option without any eye rolling. Definitely stop here before or after your visit to the Buffalo Airport! It's got that local Charm! read more

Apparently I never posted my review from restaurant week last year but I was a huge fan of the Mac n cheese with steak. And I've gone here a lot for their food and I'm not sure why I've never posted a review because their food is very good! I love their stuffed peppers here and get them on everything I've eaten, burgers, subs, and also just tried them by themselves as an appetizer. I'm not a huge wing fan but I do like their 33 sauce if I do eat a wing or I've also gotten it on chicken fingers. The chicken quesadillas are really good and huge. The loaded French fries are great as a snack to share. I just tried the pizza and I don't think I would order that again. I would highly recommend a burger, that's usually my go to! read more

Waited for 30 minutes at a table with no service. Was within perfect view of the bar and bartenders, they even waited tables around me. I would give zero stars since I left without speaking to a human or getting any food or drinks, and wasted time. read more

Ordered delivery at work. Soup was still warm when arrived. French onion soup 9/10. Broth was very good and flavorful. Spices are balanced, cheese was super thick, which was awesome. I feel like the ratio of items was a little off.. I would prefer more onions and broth, and a little less bread. I do like that they cut the bread into bite size pieces instead of a big chunk though. read more

First time into this establishment on a business trip while in Buffalo. The service was extremely slow. Took 1 hr to get an order that consisted of 1 pizza, 1 burger, 1 chicken fingers with fries and 1 beef sandwich with fries. The food was just ok. We were the only ones in the place sitting in the dining area which was connected to a bar area. The regulars were in the house and you could tell that is probably the typical clientele for this establishment. Not to say there's anything wrong with that, but I feel this might've led to the slow service that we received while dining. If your looking to grab a beer or drink, fine place to do that, but I wouldn't recommend this place for dinner, especially if your pressed for time! read more

The food was decent. Wings were very good, but came without the advertised celery and only three baby carrots for the sides. I expected more. The other dishes were fine, but nothing to write home about. The main attraction for this place is that they are open late (and we were looking for a place to eat at 9:00). My main critiques are (a) The waitress was quite inattentive. She dropped off menus and then disappeared for 10-15 minutes. She didn't check on us very often. (b) The place is very LOUD. The TVs in the bar area were blaring. It was all but impossible to have a conversation over the TV audio. So the overall experience was not good. read more

I was in the mood for bar food and looking to try somewhere new. The 33 is a fun place for a drink and to watch some sports or hang out for a while. I ordered their meatball bomber and my buddy ordered the Philly and we decided to split the subs to try both. The Philly was not good, very soggy and very bad. The meatball bomber was pretty good and I liked the sauce flavor. The meatballs were pretty obviously frozen and tasted it but eh it's a bar scene what can you expect. They had very yummy fries though and I ended up finishing all of those. I got a bowl of their French onion soup as well and that was super tasty with a nice onion flavor and loads of gooey tasty cheese. I liked it here and I think it would be a good place to hang out on game day or for some good old Buffalo Bar scene. read more

Wings at 11pm on a Sunday? they got you. Busy sportsbar located near airport had exactly want i wanted after a long day in the car. salad and 10 (11 - bonus!) wings, and a shock top for less than $30. Place was jammin' with folks eating and drinking, playing darts and socializing. Eric, your bartender- friendly, efficient with a good sense of humor. Got my order to go. LOVED they smartly tack a hole in your wings container so the wings can breathe and stay crispy - salad was huge. Value for money. Speedy service. Nice people. See ya next time i'm in town, folks! Last visit: Aug 1, 2021. ONLY 'complaint' is i shoulda ordered the wings a little spicier - but as anybody knows, that can get slippery fast the first time, so probably perfect for a novice order. read more
