The Griffin Gastropub Reviews

Great wings, beer selection, and great chicken and waffle sandwich.

Loved this place. Friendly staff that s mindful of food allergens. Great craft beer selection with 4 different size options. Went in for a small lunch and was intimidated by some of the portions sizes, but after I mentioned we wanted to split the Spicy Vegan burger it came out already sliced in half, with separate plates and 2 small fry baskets. How awesome is that?

Really good food and service but a little pricey. Nice atmosphere.

Poor menu for lunch. Beef on wick was dry. Poor service.

Looked up on Google for place to eat. So impressed with this place. Food was AMAZING and John our server in Niagara Falls was just outstanding. I hope he was a manager because of how knowledgeable he was in the menu as well as the history of the restaurant . He definitely added to our experience. Excellent!! We will definitely be back..most definitely!!!

Delicious food and drinks, waitress shouldn't be so flirtatious with the Man assuming that he is paying. That tip got reduced real quick, lol

Food is extra amazing. The beer selection is huge and quality!

The food is excellent
and well presented. Our waitress Lexie was very personable and very attentive. They have a wide variety of microbrews and wine. Call for a reservation on weekends or you may have to wait a long time.

This place was by far the best place in town to grab some lunch or dinner. Amazing beer selection and unique dishes that are to die for. The chicken tenders are some of the best I've ever ate.

By far one of the funniest lunch visits I've had in a long time ...chatting with Grace was an excellent time..keep up the great work Grace!( Mike from Rochester)

ANYTHING you get is amazing and tastes amazing. Little expensive but your defintly getting what you pay for. SWEET POTATO FRIES ARE THE BEST HERE

Celebrated our 5 yr anniversary in niagra falls and found this pub that is highly recommended. Great service and on time. Food was delicious. Had the elk burger....delicious. my wife had the chicken gruyere and that also was delicious. Amazing 50 beers to try. Wish that had this is toledo.

I have eaten here 10+ times now and have never been disappointed! If you can get Jeannine she is so awesome !

We had a large group and the staff did a great job serving our table. The food was very good (although I liked the options better at East Aurora location) The beer selection was extensive and I would go back to try other options when I'm in the area again.

This place has an interesting menu and the food comes out great. Great job guys!

Whoever the chef is, knows what he or she is doing. Fresh ingredients, inventive menu, friendly staff - great!

Awesome food, cool place. Wasn't what we expected as far as location but we went in anyways and glad we did is was great, and crowded early on a Monday so you know the locals go here. Not good for gluten free options is the only downside.

One of favorites. Great atmosphere, service and food. Burgers are amazing.

Great Valentine's dinner. Server was personable, attentive and sweet! Food was delicious. Can't beat the drink selection. I had their steak special- fantastic! And we always get an order of their onion rings

Draft Beer selection is unbelievable - food is interesting and very good!

First time visiting the place I would go back again food was excellent.

We thoroughly LOVE going to this AMAZING restaurant. They have the GREATEST menu, especially LOVING the muscles for appetizer and the Mangia steak, along with the greatest beer and wine selection. Wonderful atmosphere AND the GREATEST service ever. Ashley was our waitress and I could not have been more pleased. She was very kind and considerate and checked on us multiple times Ashley is the BEST and I will continue going to the Griffon Pub!!!

Great staff dogs was ridiculously good...pb&j burger and nachos

Very nice lunch. Steak sandwich really well coked. Swert potato fries wrte special.

Noisy. Expensive. Many other places to eat in area

.

Excellent menu and beer selection. Thought and care goes into the good here. I had the burger with bacon jam, it was cooked perfectly and delicious. The fries are excellent. The service was prompt, appetizer was the stuffed jalapenos. They came perfectly on time and were excellent as well. Once you get over the fact it's directly adjacent to the garbage disposal facility, you'll realize this is probably the most forward thinking menu around and shouldn't be missed.

One of the best burgers I have had. Location is nicely decorated and clean. Staff was friendly and prompt. Nice selection of beer. Priced fair. Get away from the hustle and bustle of the falls and get yourself a great meal.

Excellent restaurant. Banh Mi Nachos was the best appetizer I ve ever had. Such a beautiful combination of Vietnamese flavors in an unconventional way. The pork was incredible, so I would guess the Pork Banh Mi sandwich would be just as good. Also has the Beef on Weck, and I enjoyed that as well. Great beer selection and service was great. A must go for anyone visiting Niagara Falls.

When in the Niagara Falls area for business my colleagues and I always have trouble finding good food. I read somewhere about Griffon and gave it a try. We liked the beer variety. Music was a very loud throughout the restaurant (perhaps an area could have lower volume for those who want to have a conversation) but it was bearable. The menu was more sophisticated than those found in most bars. We tried the special wild game burger, at the suggestion of our courteous server. He even suggested to have it cooked medium for it was made with elk meat. Unfortunately we were not impressed with this burger. But we ve had much worse meals at higher prices in the area. The burger deserves just 2 stars, but for the variety of beers I ll add a star and for the attentive service I ll give them an additional star. Will I be back? Very likely. But no more elk burger for me.

Gotta try the Panko breaded chicken sandwich and the Pot Stickers!

Bar food, salads, large selection of beer and drinks. Very good.

Place was packed standing room only. Waited a long time for a table. Food was ok. Menue was hard to get thru.

The food was great. The beer selection was excellent. The service was not so hot. Here is what I mean... the first time that we came, we had rolled into Niagara Falls at 10:30 p.m. and showed up at Griffon Gastropub hoping to get served as we saw that their hours were until 2 a.m. We walked in at 10:35, they said the kitchen closed at 10:30, and that they could not serve us food. But their pre-recorded phone message as well as their website says that they serve food from the kitchen until 11 p.m. and pub food until 2 a.m. Why they didn't even offer to serve us pub food at 10:35pm is beyond me! So we came back a couple of days later for dinner, and all I have to say is when you come to a pub that has 60 beers on tap, you expect your waiter or waitress to like beer! You would like them to be able to recommend something to you! Like a wine sommelier! But instead we got a waitress who shrugged, " I don't really like beer so I don't know!" ??? We ordered extra blue cheese for our wings that never arrived. We ordered wings and extra blue cheese to go and that never arrived. We had to ask for it. So... The food was fantastic and the beers were great. But for a tab for about $150 for five people, I would expect better service!

I love this place, definitely call ahead and check for reservations if you're going on a thur-sat night.

They got some good food. Good atmosphere (with some fancy candles,) and friendly staff.

Ate here once while passing through town. Food was great, service was great. Great martini!

Good quality food was most surprised by The Shrimp Basket very good

The food was amazing! I would go back here anytime I was in the area. The service was awesome, they were really quick even with a large group, and they had a wonderful beer selection. Highly recommended!

Great food, great atmosphere, great drinks. Can get a little busy so I advise calling ahead to reserve a table. I also recommend that you order a Grateful Dead for your drink.

Amazing food! Very knowledgeable bartenders for their huge beer selection

One of the best beer lists I've seen. Staff was very attentive and knew the beers well. Food was also excellent.

This place is awesome!!! Dominic our waiter was the best! Food was excellent and the pumpkin cheesecake was to die for!!!!!!!

The food was marvelous, especially the bahn me nachos. The service was quick and the bartender made excellent recommendations for beers.

The food was excellent and creative. The service was spot on .

I am giving this 5 stars because my mom was SO happy with her meal. She loved the sweet potato fries she said they were some of the best she s ever had and she loved that Dave Mathews Band was playing. For me, great beer and vibes were enjoyed. Very nice staff. We had a fun time!

Excellent, friendly service. A nice mix of simple and unusual menu items. Beautiful decor in dining room and bar area.

Great beer selection, amazing food and wonderful service!

Thursday night and still a wait to get in. Must be a popular place. Was not disappointed. Our waitress Sara was excellent. The beer choices were extensive. As a native WNYer and returning to visit an old classmate I had to go with a beef on weck. It brought back some nice culinary memories.

We were lucky enough to catch it on a slow day due to the air show and had the beef on weck I loved the soft weck rolls and great service..

Our bartender tonight was great, food was good, deinks were refreshing. Definitely rwcommending my northtown/Niagara friends check it out here.

Best burger I've ever had and the martini was pretty damn good!!!

Staff seemed knowledgeable. Beer selection was limited

Beer selection is top tier. Food is phenomenal. Service is fantastic. Go here at least once or twice a week. Try the chicken tenders with the boom boom sauce. Thank me later.

This is place was fantastic, the creative food choices and extensive beer menu is incredible. I had the Bahn Mi Nachos, they where exceptional. Thank you Ashley for all of your great suggestions!

Never have had a bad experience going to any of the locations in the buffalo area good food great drink menu, the chicken and waffle is a favorite

Amazing food, good people, good drinks. Recommended by a local tour guide, and he was on point. Two thumbs up.

Great little spot. I had the soup and fish fry which was delicious. Server nicely split the dish for my wife and I. Very friendly and great food.

If you are looking to eat something a little more interesting than the average dish, I would definitely stop here.
You can tell that the food is planned with care. It has a very well executed menu and it was my pleasure to eat here.
It can get busy at times, but that is a price well worth paying.

I always LOVE going here! Never disappointed and leave feeling content.

The food was delicious. The servers were awesome and the bartenders were very friendly. I love this place.

Recommended by our BnB host and only a short drive from the Niagara Falls lodging, this restaurant is both family friend and tasty! Offering a large variety of local and traditional favorite pub foods, each member of my small family enjoyed their selections.

May I personally recommend the pizza logs and onion rings, and of course the buffalo wings!

Get the chicken tenders....you won't be disappointed!

PHENOMENAL as always.
Lamb burger was absolutely delicious.
