If you are looking for over the top quality food, GO EAT HERE !!! Our server went above and beyond ! We got the chicken sandwich and sweet potatoe fries. The sweet potatoe fries were amazing, cooked perfectly! the sauce on the sandwich was so unique you can’t find food like this anywhere else in Niagara Falls !!! We also got the kids grilled cheese and man was that over the top amazing as well! From the bread to the cheese and seasoning just wow !! the regular fries are seasoned like no other ! I got the gnocchi, although it wasn’t for me the flavor combination was so interesting but still the serving size was impressive ! Griffin pub will be our new go to spot !

Definitely try the corn fritter staters, they are addictive!! Chicken and waffles were also very good, they use a spice on their fries that works really well, nice break from regular salted fries.

Went here on a Saturday night with a party of 7. Made a reservation a half hour before. Got seat immediately when we got there. Server was very nice. Food was excellent. Especially liked the sweet potato fries with honey butter. My burger was very good. The salad with steak was great. Everyone at our table agreed we would come back.

We were suggested The Griffon Gastropub by a guy that worked at a gift shop at Niagara Falls. We were starving and most things there were closing or closed. It was a great recommendation, we really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, and our waitress. So I must suggest if you're in the area, and want some good food at a decent price hit the "directions" button on your Google now.

We went Thursday during our brief visit to Niagara Falls. We would definitely go again when we are in the area. The local hazy ipa was as good as you can get. The smoked gouda mac n cheese is a must. My beef on a wick was delicious. Service was good on a slow night. You should give this place a try.

I went to Niagara for a quick trip and was looking for nice local spots for some good eats and I must say this is probably one of the best spots in Niagara on the NY side. Our waitress' name was Kaitlin and she definitely made our experience even better. She was so honest about The food was amazing and so was their service. Everything was so fresh. My husband had a kangaroo burger and it was cooked to perfection. Their decorum is really nice and it's super clean. I definitely plan on revisiting this restaurant again.

Stopped in with a group of 20. They could not seat us, here but called one of their other locations and found us an opening. Very gracious and helpful.

Amazing service and food quality. Would recommend the Asian sauce for the wings super super good. Ordered a variety of different things that I will include in the pictures. Didn't get pictures of wings cause i ate those too fast lol

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in ages. The service was friendly and informative but not overbearing. Each dish was more amazing than the last. Any time I’m in this area, I’ll make a point of visiting The Griffon, even if it means going out of my way.

The food was simply incredible, my wife and I were happily surprised that it was so good, probably the best meal had out in the last year. Excellent service with just enough attention without being intrusive, friendly but not overly familiar, top marks. There were children there and that added a noise element we didn't care for, but everything else more than made up for it. We highly recommend!

Great Food!!! I had the fried grilled cheese, Mexican street corn dip and a side salad. The side salad was HUGE and the grilled cheese was great. Definitely pricey, about $45 with out my drink included. They also had tasty THC/CBD drinks!

Cocktails are among the best we ever had! The added sugar on the sweet potato fries were a no no for me. Regular fries were really good. My wife says her Burger was amazing. The shrimp Po Boy was good except I didn't like the bread or the cole slaw. But this place is among the best food places I have eaten in America!!!

Always great food and service! Great portions and selection. The only complaint I have is the bathrooms. Cramped and a bit dirty. But don’t let that stop you from going. It’s still worth it. Get the side of shells and cheese. Note to management, bring back the shrimp po’boy please!!!

The that'd up ramen was fire! Oh so savory and delicious. The Beyond smash burger was also very delicious and reminiscent of the BigM from are arched friends. Our service was excellent!

Good food here, lots of choices I got the surf and turf burger. Was phenomenal.

Outstanding dinner! We tried the mac n cheese, the steak medallions, the poutine, and the house made chicken tenders. All were decadent, (yes, even the tenders). Great environment, friendly staff, and good service. Could not have done better.

Preston was absolutely amazing! The food?! Absolutely mind boggling! I'm so glad we picked this spot! Will always return when ever in the area now to try more of their menu!

If you want orgasms in your mouth, like holy cow, explosions… This is the place! Everything was so delicious, the food, the drinks, the service… AMAZING. I was only in town for a few days, but this was by far the best place that we ate at, I’d go back again & again.

Everything was good and very good service 🙌 duck 🦆 burger I tried first time and it was good Kelsey was very friendly and kind

The food was delicious! We got chicken wings (boneless and regular), chicken tenders, waffles & chicken, and a shrimp basket . Everything was super and our waitress, Ashley, was very friendly, attentive and awesome! We loved the place!! ❤️❤️

Found the place through Google search, parking is a bit challenging, the atmosphere was excellent, it had that Pub vibe, the food was excellent and the waitress Kelsey was attentive, made sure we had what we needed and wanted, we were looking for something different and away from Niagara Falls prices, this place is all that, only 10 minutes away, different types of burger meats, kangaroo elk venison etc, very good, a Poutine that's very close to the original, wings cooked perfectly, and tater tots that are crispy on the outside and mushy on the inside. Everything we ordered was excellent. Highly recommend if u are coming to visit Niagara and or in the Buffalo area.

Best pork chop I have had at a restaurant. Substituted the mac and cheese for the sweet potato fries.

The food was so delicious.. Their menu is comprised of fan favorites. My 16 yr old is still talking about their Wild Game burger of the day, which was lamb. But what put the icing on the cake was the service we received. Super friendly and knowledgeable. I wish I could move this restaurant to Delaware.

Stumbled upon this restaurant and decided to give it a try based on the previous reviews. I must say, they have the BEST burger I've ever had in my life. Ordered the P&J burger (peanut butter and jelly). You can even decide how you want your burger cooked (like a steak). It was beyond delicious! We had a side of fries which had a cajun seasoning to them and a side of their famous mac and cheese which was very creamy and cheesy. The service was excellent and they came by to make sure we were topped up with our drinks, had enough napkins and made sure the food was okay. The interior was very classy, it's definitely not your typical looking pub. Prices were very fair too. Will definitely return again!

Creative and delicious menu! Banh Mi nachos! Steak medallions, Ahi with crab cake and coconut rice... Etc etc. all delicious. Large bar selection too. Vibe is really nice, loved the black leather booth seating. Highly recommend.

loved the food and service our waitress was so nice definitely will be returning 😊

Food was incredible! We were seated immediately and our server, Lauren, was so sweet. The fried grilled cheese bites were heavenly!! My husband had the shrimp po boy and I got the black and blue steak salad. Most delicious food we've had in the area. Will be back before we return home!! Props to the staff and chef!!

So glad we found this spot in Niagara! Absolutely delicious food from the chicken and waffle sandwich to the open faced pot roast to the sweet corn fritters. Everything was tasty, fresh, and inventive. The portions were very filling and service was attentive.

Absolutely incredible food. I’m sad we don’t live closer although it’s probably good for my wallet and waistline! 😂

Great atmosphere and employees. Food was amazing! Great selection of beer and food on the menu. Be ready to spend a bit more though as the prices are not what you'd expect though the taste makes up for it for sure!!

Special thanks to Justin. His service was best quality service. They have a lot of delicious food options, but I want to open a separate parenthesis for the raspberry cheesecake, it’s taste and presentation was beyond perfect. I can say it's the best cheesecake I've ever had in my life.

Party of 4. We walked in and got seated right away for a Monday at 7 pm. Host was extremely friendly. We ordered Shabu,PB & J burger, beef and a weck , mangia steak. Daughter didn’t like Shabu. The rest of us liked our meals. Our server Ashley was amazing! Great people person.

We were recommended to this place by a local. When we sat down the waitress told us that everything tasted good when we asked which rubbed me funny. We ordered several of the things she suggested and she was 100% correct. Everything was fantastic. Great beer selection as well.

We came for our anniversary and our server Allison was great! The atmosphere is "elevated sports bar". Which we loved. The food was incredible! I got the filet medallions and my husband got the smoked gouda mac n cheese with steak. For dessert they brought of their "Pillows of love" with a candle lit in celebration of our anniversary. 10/10 recommend this restaurant!

Being from out of the area my wife and I just wanted some comfort food and I wanted a cold beer after a long drive and this place hit the mark. Great food, cozy booths and craft beer from their brewery. Plenty of options for the kids. All the food was hot, tasty and good quality. Wait staff were pleasant and prices are fair. Only complaint would be they got the cooking temps of our burgers mixed up but not a deal breaker for us. Very good place

My very rarely give five stars all around for any restaurant, but this one certainly deserves it. It's not the fanciest restaurant ever but it's a gastropub. Plenty of great beers and amazing food to go alongside it. Was blown away at the variety of the menu, but even more impressed by the absolute amazing quality of the food when it arrived. Service was insanely fast and the prices were very average considering the quality of the food! 10 out of 10, will absolutely come back again if I am ever in this part of the country again!

The Griffon Gastropub in Niagara Falls is a fantastic place to eat! The food is always delicious and the menu has lots of great options. service is friendly and fast—staff are helpful and make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is cozy and laid-back, with a nice rustic look inside

We were in town for the weekend and stumbled upon this place. Let me tell you from the service to the atmosphere to the food. TOP NOTCH! Our waitress was incredible, and the food was out of this world. It was so impressive my 12 year old daughter kept commenting on how good everything was. Even the music :) We will definitely be back!

My husband has celiac disease and this restaurant has several options that can be made fully gluten free. The server he spoke to when he picked up the food was very knowledgeable and made him feel confident that the food would be safe. He had no reaction and we ended up going back for a second time during our three day stay. Highly recommend for anyone following a gluten free diet.

If you’re looking for somewhere to eat in the Niagara Falls area, this is the place. They have an extensive menu of food and alcoholic beverages. Normally when restaurants have big menus they sacrifice the quality of their food, but not here, you can tell they are very passionate about what they are doing. Very appealing atmosphere and excellent service from our waitress. Wish I lived closer so I could come here more often, it’s definitely worth it.

UPDATE: Didn’t think our second visit would surpass our first but another WOW dinner. The award winning Banh Mi wonton nachos were insanely delicious…and I don’t normally like pork (except bacon). The serving was huge and even the leftovers tasted awesome. The homemade chicken fingers were hands down the BEST we’ve had anywhere. Outstanding server Bradford made our celebratory dinner even better with his recommendations, attentive service and friendly, helpful personality. Love this place! WOW! How have we not known about this place?! It’s awesome! Server Kelsey provided exceptional service and the food was outstanding. Seriously delicious. Our vegan companion loved her Impossible “cheese” burger and fries. The steak sandwich with sweet potato fries was perfection and the fried egg burger was ridiculously delicious. Cocktails excellent. Birthday girl was treated to vegan donut holes that were out of this world. Portions were huge. We are going to return to try the homemade chicken tenders and wonton nachos because they looked sooo good! This is a must-do if you’re in the Niagara Falls area and is less than 10 minutes from the border!

I don’t usually write reviews but I just HAD to write one for our amazing experience! We made reservations for dinner a week in advance. When we arrived, we were told that our table was not ready but would hopefully be ready soon. We sat patiently and after 10-15 min we were offered a complimentary round of beverages for the wait. We received them (delicious!) and shortly after that we were seated. I’m in the restaurant industry so that customer service right there was on point! I’m the type of person that has a lot of patience anyways, but the fact that we were offered a beverage due to our wait made our day! My husband and I thought right away, sweet! The night is starting off great! Little did we know it would get much better! We had an amazing server, Angelina. She was fantastic! She knew the menu and offered great choices for us on what to try. She is the type of server all restaurants need. Down to earth, knowledgeable, and attentive! The flavor of everything we tried even down to the French fries was on point! Incredible! Honestly! We loved everything. Thank you all for a fabulous evening. I will definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area. We will also love to come back one day! Bravo to everyone! The host, server, bartender, and kitchen staff!

Someone in Reddit recommended this place to watch the Olympics. We missed the game we wanted to watch but decided to stop on your way from Toronto to Syracuse for lunch. The has some great cocktails and selection of beer. I had a spicy margarita that was delicious. The food is typical pub with a little more creativity and delicious. The BEST food we had was the chicken tenders with sweet potato fries. They rival any tenders and fries we’ve ever had! It was a great place to stop.

This place was surprisingly good. Every meal had a little twist that made it unique, it makes me want to try everything on the menu, too bad that we live in Boston. We will definitely eat here again if we decide to spend another weekend here. The loaded potato soup was a huge surprise, I didn't know what to expect but Oh boy! you have to try it. Bacony-cheesy thick potato haven in a bowl. The salads were huge and delicious, the fried chicken burger tasted fresh and it was juicy, the bun was amazing too. Our waitress was energic and very kind, she made the experience even better. Thank you!

Great food and nice atmosphere, their cocktails and mocktails are a treat. Great beer and wine selection too!

The family and I came up to niagara falls for the day and we were figuring out where to eat so this place came up and had good reviews so we booked reservations for 5:30. We got there around 5 and we got right in. Our server Angalina was awesome. She was so patient with our kids when they were ordering (there 6,9, and 10). She is probably one of the best server's we have had in a long time. The food was awesome and the service was exceptional. Next time we go to niagara falls again we will definitely come back for a bite to eat. Definitely 10 out of 10

I went to this restaurant with my family hoping to try out some local beer. This ambiance of the bar had a rustic feel. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and portions. The flight of local beers and cider was a delight. Our waiter was friendly as well.

My husband and I travel frequently and this is probably our favorite restaurant we've come across. 20/10. Cannot say enough good things! The staff (especially our Server, Kelsey) is amazing and friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. The food is to die for! Best fries I've ever eaten (and I know my way around potatoes!), period. The fried cat fish was absolutely heavenly and as big as my hand (see Pic for reference). If you can only pick one meal in Niagara Falls, NY or Buffalo, NY, make it The Griffon Gastropub. You'll thank me later! :)

I was referred to this place by a local. It did NOT disappoint! This is my first time in Niagara Falls and I have no clue about anything. The vibe is great in here! Ashley was an awesome hostess and Angelina is a GREAT waitress! The feel of this place is homey and I felt very comfortable here. I need to come back here and get another dish before I go back home to New Orleans!!!

Visited Niagara Falls during the holidays and ate dinner here one night. The food was phenomenal. The quality of beef was top notch and the wings were the best ones I’ve ever had. Customer service was 100%.

This is a pretty cool place. The atmosphere is amazing right along with the food. The servings are huge and the selection is awesome. It's a nice atmosphere for families or couples or just someone eating alone. I wish I'd take pictures of the interior because it was pretty wild in a good way there are also burgers that come from various types of wild game. We had a Kobe beef burger that was to die for. The wait staff is very friendly, polite, and knowledgeable about what they are serving. We liked it so much. We went for two nights.

Amber B.

We visited here while in NF for the weekend. We liked the food so much that we decided to come back a second night. The menu was unique and everything sounded good enough to try. On night 1 we ordered the steak medallions, mashed potatoes and gravy, mac & cheese, and broccoli. All of it was fantastic. On the second day, we ordered the Tokyo burnouts as an appetizer and they were full-flavored and paired well with the marinated cucumbers. For dinner, we split the chicken caprese which was delicious as well. I would recommend this place for the creative menu and delicious food. We sat at the bar and had less than great service. Both times that we visited we sat without being acknowledged by the 2 bartenders who were working. Service was slow and not very attentive.

roy penn

The food was excellent. Service was great. We loved the decor and atmosphere. Can get a bit pricey but the portions are large. The banana foster cheesecake is to die for, we had the beef tips and the meat was cooked just right. Looking forward to going back. Excellent place for special occasions.

Went there today and had (8) piece chicken tenders , fries, somerset cider and peach. Service was amazing forgot her name, food was delicious. Its a frequent stop for us. Keep up the AMAZING work ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cool place with funny menu. Food was so yummy! Great surprise. Good local beer as well! We'll definitely be going back when in the area

Steven Flores

Great beers selection. I have the pork chops with mashed potatoes. Fantastic. The manja sandwich with goat cheese and steak was excellent.

Doug

We went back again and had the Bahn Mi Nachos and medium wings and everything was fantastic again. We shared a Banh MI nachos and the Mangia open faced steak sandwich. The Bahn MI nachos were one of the tastiest dishes we've had in some time. Perfect mix of sweet, salty and heat from the Jalapenos, definitely a dish to share. The Mangia sandwich was very good too and definitely worth trying. My wife had the Christmas Margarita and loved it. I tried the Gourd Vader pumpkin ale and it was superb. Slight pumpkin flavour with very nice brown sugar caramel notes. Great food, drinks and fantastic service. We will definitely be going back again.

Found this online and decided to give it a shot. We had the “just the tips” which my daughter said was 10/10, definitely recommend. She said one of the best. Wife and I shared Poutine and Street Corn Dip. Poutine was 8/10. It was VERY salty. Almost inedible salty. But very good. Reduce salt and it is 10/10. Street corn dip is 9/10. Very good dip but my wife got a mouth full of cayenne so I recommend an extra mixing when eating. Service was good and overall great meal.

I have been to the Lewiston location multiple times. I was worried that this wouldn’t be as good but I was wrong- the food is the same quality and flavors I have come to expect from Griffon. I am obsessed with the curry ramen (add the crispy chicken.. trust me) and this time we tried the crab pretzels which were heavy but had great flavor. Service was great. Happy to say I would recommend either location. I haven’t never had a disappointing meal from Griffon

Incredible drink prices, incredible food, incredible wait staff. -Chicken tenders are massive, server with three sauces -Bacon jam burger was a waitress recommendation, with good reason. Ate it in like 3 minutes -Love the $2-$3 tasters for the booze -Corn fritters are something so unique and delicious, you’ll just have to see for yourself

This was the first visit to this restaurant and I had the fish dinner. The fish was cooked to absolute perfection and it was one of the best fish dinners I have had in the Niagara Falls NY area. I haven’t tried any of their other meals but I plan too on the next time through the area. If the fish dinner is an example of the food here, I can’t wait. I highly recommend the establishment for a fish dinner.

Stefanie Johnson

My husband and I are in town for our Anniversary from Florida and went to Griffons based on their amazing reviews! It didn’t disappoint! The vibe is really cool and cozy. We had the crab and pretzel appetizer which sounds different but was amazing, it was like pretzel bites smothered in crab dip, and then we split a Beef on Weck, which was also amazing, we’ve never had one. We had mentioned it was our anniversary and our waitress Kelsey (also amazing) surprised us with a dessert, which was fried dough drizzled in maple butter, raspberry, vanilla and chocolate sauce. The whole experience was perfect. We’ll probably go back again before we leave.

Adelina Santiago

Visited Monday 9/15 with family from out of the country. The waitress was super helpful, patient and understanding as I was translating and interpreting the entire menu for 5 people in my party. She made suggestions according to likes and dislikes for everyone and also shared her personal favorites. The food- my goodness was AMAZING! As a visitor myself from Rochester I can guarantee that I will be revisiting this place!

Mike Truitt

First time visiting this restaurant and it was a good experience. The waitress was extremely helpful with menu options and providing info so we could make choices we wanted. The food was delicious and served as promised. We liked the tall seats because of the added privacy at our table.

Daughter chose a place to eat that her office had ordered food from last week and WHAT A GREAT OPTION! And it’s a place right here in town close to me that I’ve never been to in all these years! The chicken was WAY better than I’ve had anywhere in WNY! Could choose it drenched in sauce or with sauce on side and I should have ordered twice as much because the leftovers are Great!!! I ordered without fries but got some anyway and actually really delicious fries were unexpected! And just for clarity, I’ll enclose a plate from what I reheated here at home which really shows not a bit was wasted! My daughter loved her burger and fries. She got the Mexican Street Corn chips plate that she loved - not just the taste but the presentation too! Came with lime too that really set it off for her. I’m really amazed that just north of the Outlet Mall in Niagara Falls NY, which I drive by all the time, had such a culinary treat I’d never noticed! Not a huge place and NOT just a bar though their bar was doing great biz while we were there. The spigots on tap were PLENTIFUL and really got my daughters attn! DON’T MISS OUT!!!

The service from Khadija was five star. The food was five star. The drinks were five star. Why the deduction? A very strange exchange with an older blonde waitress who, after having a conversation with the bartender that was about me as they both stared at me as they spoke, she walked up and aggressively said, "Did you just seat yourself here?!" ( I had not, but if I had, is that the correct approach?) I'm not one to deduct for someone having a bad day but it was so strangely off-putting for that to be my introduction to the place and she did it so full of conviction that I'm pretty sure it wasn't her first rudeness rodeo. I made eye contact with her several times and she never approached to clarify or apologize. Setting her aside and her buddy the tall red headed bartender, the po' boy was very tasty as was the lamb burger. The fries were fresh made and the chipotle ranch was lovely. The chocolate peanut butter brownie cake was out of this world. And it was all brought to our table by sparkling Khadija who was working her tables with great attention and kindness despite working with a couple of hostiles. I'd come back as long as I could pick her section!

We had mac and cheese, Mangia steak and a burger. The mac & cheese and Berger were great! I had the best mac and cheese I ever had here! But they poured some sweet syrup on the sweet potatoes which were not good at all in my opinion! Moreover, I did not like the steak taste! It tastes like they added Ghee on top of that which is not my type!

Hello from Michigan!! Our tour guide Dale recommended this place to try out. So we decided to give it a go. Definitely not what we expected. The homemade chicken tenders were huge, so big that they served them in a bowl. The Parm garlic is perfect. We were seated right away and had food on the table before we knew it. The service was on top of it but did not hover over you. If you haven't tried this place out I recommend it.

Stopped here on Feb 9, 2019 at 2:30 pm; we had about a 30 minute wait because the place was packed. At 3:00 pm it cleared out so make reservations or belly up to the bar and wait for a table. Well run and pleasant staff, which is surprising seeing how busy they were, obvious that the Staff worked well together which is rare. I Ordered the Deviled Eggs as an App and they came right after our drinks which is how any Appetizer should arrive. Tasted good, nice mixture of blue cheese and hot sauce with the chicken, definitely a unique combo but it worked. I ordered the Chicken waffle sandwich which had Maple Bacon and a coleslaw mix in it, darn good, again odd mix but it was good. My fries had a tangy spice. My G/F ordered the Honey mustard Boneless Wings which were delicious and large. We ordered the Pina Colada cake and Chocolate Resses cake to go, both were good. Definitely had a nice restaurant/ sports pub mix atmosphere. I’d eat here again but only with reservations.

The appetizer platter is really good. The fries are amazing. The onion rings and chicken tenders are spot on. The pizza logs were good, but could have been fried about 30 seconds more. The duck wings are excellent, although maybe spicier than one would expect. My wife ordered the PB&J burger, and she was left quite disappointed by it. The beef of the burger itself had no flavor to it. I ordered the Boar burger. I quite enjoyed it, although the meat itself tasted rather bland to me. It was the first time that I've ever had boar, so I'm not sure if the meat is supposed to taste that way, or if it was under-seasoned. The house root beer is a must try. We had the funfetti cake and raspberry cheesecake for dessert. Both were very yummy.

I visited Griffon Gastropub for a solo lunch on a weekday and had a mixed experience. The service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff. However, I found the prices to be a bit high for the overall experience. I started with the hot cheesy Maryland crab dip, priced at $18, which was deliciously spicy but mostly consisted of large chunks of pretzel bread immersed inside. It would have been better to have something else to dip into the dip, as the texture of the pretzel bread was compromised. For drinks, I tried the Old Rasputin stout for $3 and the house Griffon Hellcat Maggie for $2. The Old Rasputin stout was far better in taste compared to the house beer. The pricing for beer was impressively low, which was a plus. Unfortunately, the coffee was a disappointment at $3.50. It was terrible and not worth the price. In summary, while the service was great and the beer prices were impressive, the crab dip content and coffee were a bit of a letdown. The main floor washroom was decent. I will definitely return to try other menu items and beers! It's a small local chain with four locations.

Stumbled upon this place when on a day trip to the falls. Everyone enjoyed their food. I got the fish sandwich. The flavor was great. Fries were delicious. Breading on the fish was pretty crunchy. The atmosphere was fine, was fairly loud in there but we didn’t mind.

Ashley E was a good server. Kind of let us hanging at first, but towards the end did an excellent job. Atmosphere was lacking. Dark... Could use a little love. Did good with gluten free.. Marked on menu. But didn't like the feel of the place so won't go back.

Simple restaurant where we overdressed that seems like it is more of a bar spot as there was only one other group eating dinner there at 530. They're unique in the fact they have specialty game burgers like kangaroo, and that several dishes feature maple butter, maple mayo etc. The corn fritters were surprising as the corn was whole kernels inside, and it was more like a fried dough in maple sauce, and delicious. Main course of shrimp gnocchi was also very good. Chocolate peanut butter pie was not at sweet at expected and there was something more gritty in it that I thought was coconut but perhaps was crushed real peanuts. It was smaller than expected and not really big enough to share. 3 drinks, 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, and 1 dessert was $100. Server was great and friendly, but we also were only one of 2 tables there. It's nice to have a place you don't have to worry about a wait to get in.

Wonderful place for a good meal. Portions are decent for the price. Certainly a place you want to go for a alcoholic beverage. There are 50 beers on tap. Yes 50! The food is great too. Many options with a little Asian fusion with some items. No credit card surcharge. Dining area is a little dark. Bar area is even darker. Still a nice looking interior. You can get merchinese and cans of beer to go. Fun menu.

Went here 10 years ago with my husband and loved it. It stood out in my memory bc of a delicious Scotch egg on the menu. We went back to Niagara recently with our kids and I was so happy to find this place was still around and still had a great menu (although was sad they no longer had the Scotch egg). If I lived locally I'd be eating here often, sooo many good options on the menu and awesome beer selection.

Absolutely great experience overall. The staff was very friendly, and the food came out quickly while still looking amazing they definitely did not skip out on presentation. Every dish looked fancy a…

I really enjoyed my " Griffon burger" My only complaint is the fries are a bit over salted. Very Attentive Service. Definitely, interested in trying more off the menu.

Went here on a slow day. Our waitress seemed to be annoyed with everything we told her. Ordered the Griffon burger and stuffed peppers. The burger was fine. the Stuffed peppers ranged from mild to crazy hot. The fries were good.

Went to The Griffon Gastropub recently and overall, it was a decent experience. The place has a relaxed, welcoming vibe with a good mix of food and drinks on the menu, and the staff was friendly and polite. I ordered a burger with sautéed mushrooms and no onions, but they got the order wrong — and instead of remaking it, they just removed the onions and added a few mushrooms on top. It felt like they cut corners, and unfortunately, the burger itself was pretty bland, not much flavor going on. On the other hand, the chicken tenders were actually really good — crispy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. So while the atmosphere and service were solid, the food, at least for what I had, didn’t quite match up.

While the location and views are amazing, the food is ok and over priced. We got the pretzel appetizer and the chowder, both were supposed to have crab and lobster and neither had any actual pieces, just maybe a slight seafood flavor. I would go there for a cocktail and the view, but skip the food.

This is mostly a typical diner containing most of the usual diner fare with the additon of wild game options. I had an order of the Wild Game Burger. Venison was the featured game meat they have that day. I enjoyed the meat and the gaminess of the flavor. It was not too strong or off-putting. The rest of the burger was also well put together. The crispy onion straws was a welcome touch that adds crunchiness to every bite. Under Creative Entrees, we tried Just the Tips (prime angus reserve steak tips) paired with yukon gold mashed potatoes. It all came together with a good serving of the mashed potatoes cradling the pieces of steak tips which was drizzled with some creamy white sauce and sliced green onions. The steak could have been just a little bit more tender for my liking, but it was otherwise fine. The amount of mashed potatoes in the meal was a lot more than the protein and we had a hard time finishing it all. I called for the waitress attention, motioned at the mashed potatoes, and could specifically remember requesting for some gravy to add to the mashed potatoes. She acknowledged this request and left. She came back with 2 dips of sauces which were clearly not gravy. The manner in which she handed off the sauces was also something I am not pleased with. The waitress just dropped off the sauces beside me as I was eating without even acknowledging it and waiting for me to look back up. She then scuttled away after. I asked about it later after trying it and she said they don't serve gravy and those were the sweet (or caramel?) sauces for the steak. Without some gravy or a nice complimentary sauce to the potatoes it made it much harder to finish. The sweet sauces she did give was just OK and does not perfectly compliment the steak tips either. The overall service we experienced was rather disappointing. In addition to the abovementioned affair with the gravy request, and the manner in which it was carried out, there was also another similar issue. We ordered for soft drinks and it was likewise served very curtly. There was no looking up or informing us customers that our order request has now been served. The drinks were just hastily left at the table's edge with no interaction.

I had the sirloin tips with sweet potato fries and honey chipotle sauce. It was delicious except the steak was overcooked. My wife had the encrusted salmon with coconut rice. The fish was overcooked and the mushy rice was not eatable.

The food is good, but the staff's behavior is terrible. I have lived, studied, and worked in this country for years, yet the waiter acted so frustrated with my English, as if I weren’t speaking their native language! It seemed like it was such a struggle for them to understand their own mother tongue. Their attitude was rude. After 9 PM, the place practically turned into a gathering spot for the staff's friends, hanging around the bar, making strangers feel like intruders. I had to ask multiple people just to get a glass of water. And in the end, you're expected to leave a 25% tip, which I did very unwillingly. Honestly, if you go to the food court at the Niagara outlet right next door, you'll get a meal for half the price and be 100% more satisfied.

Ordered fish fry to go. They were greasy and undercooked, batter was gooey. Generally have no complaints about The Griffon but yesterday's meal was a thumbs down. We couldn't finish eating.

I’m a truck driver from CA and was told by my dad that’s from NY that this is the best thing around when in Buffalo. Waste of $23. I ordered the beef on weck with fries for pick up. All my food was cold and I was ten minutes early for my pick up just so I know the food wouldn’t be sitting. I’m highly disappointed I chose this place based on reviews. 20% of the fries were way too salted and seasoned while the rest were fine. I’ve made better sandwiches than this. And to know I left a tip just to be generous is damn disappointing.

Was visiting from Kentucky. Unfortunately didn't even get to try the food. Walked in Saturday there was about 6 workers standing at the hostess stand. 1 finally greeted us and said she would be right back and was going to check on the table situation. About 5 minutes go by and still didn't come back. In the meantime people behind us came in and was told the wait would be 20 minutes but then another girl came up and I told her that someone was getting us a table and she said oh no there are none. She proceeded to tell us an hour wait after we had already been in there before others that got told 20 minutes. Apparently nobody there has a clue what's going on! To many people trying to take control at hostess stand. Kinda glad that happened because we ended up around the corner at Batch and they were very welcoming!

The only positive from my experience at this place was the service. Our server was amazing and this poor rating is not at all due to her. This rating is entirely from the perspective of a vegetarian, as there weren't many vegetarian options and those that existed were horrible. To begin, the black bean burger on the menu from google maps doesn't exist anymore, it's been replaced by some vegan smash burger that uses an impossible meat style patty -- when will companies/restaurants figure out that no vegetarian/vegan likes this?? Please bring back the black bean burger. Anyway, the only other vegetarian/vegan entree option was a vegan ramen soup (which I wish I'd ordered now) and a Mac n cheese style dish. I didn't go for the Mac n cheese style dish thinking it would be too cheesy and instead got two vegetarian appetizers, both of which were extremely cheesy (woe is me) and I couldn't finish either of them. I'm sure the alcoholic drinks were much better, but the mocktail that we ordered was unpleasantly sugary and taste basically like sugar water. The salad and the side of guac was fine, and I'm glad I had at least that. Coming to the atmosphere, unfortunately the floors were sticky and the table and chairs also felt a bit sticky. I just immediately get put off by restaurants that are not clean, even pubs. This place seemed super highly rated and we waited nearly 40 mins for our table, so I just had higher expectations I guess. TLDR: If you're a vegetarian, maybe avoid unless they bring the black bean burger back. If you're not, you're probably fine.

I really want to love the Griffon. I'm local, the food is spectacular, and the service has always been polite and fast. The main reason I'm writing this negative review is that the front lobby is just absolutely littered with AI generated images for their brew selections. I don't have any kind of problem with the subject matter, it's just the use of AI images that's really tacky and cheap. A human artist could have made these promos for the beers, and it could have been really special and expressive. Instead, the first thing you see when you walk in is a wall of soulless slop. If they took down the prints off the wall, I'd happily change this review. I'd be even happier if they changed the prints on the beer cans, but that's a taller order. In an unrelated note, they tend to cook their meats on the bloodier side. There's nothing wrong with that, but I guarantee your idea of rare is very different from theirs. I'd suggest you request one level up whenever they ask how you like it prepared. So if you want rare, ask for a medium. If you want medium, go for medium well.
