The Griffon Niagara Falls Reviews
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.
We stopped in here yesterday for an early dinner and it was fantastic! The duck wings, chicken tenders, pizza logs, Miami fries were the bomb! I also received a free dessert pillows of 💕! Excellent service and I highly recommend! We are from Indiana and were on vacation! You rocked it!!!!!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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!!!

We love Griffons the Beef on Wack, their Burgers and chicken Tenders have always been delicious. It is one of our favorite regular restaurants.
Delicious mac and cheese. High suggest adding grilled chicken. Service is always great and waiters really care

Food was excellent! Very impressed with the huge beer selection. Much more of a restaurant feel so all ages are welcome. Check this place out.
Excellent service! The food was also very good. The shells and cheese were awesome. The atmosphere was great. There were a lot of really good menu options.

Stopped in on a visit to the Falls. Large beer menu, knowledgeable waitstaff. Specialty is wild game burgers, the selection varies. That night was Kangaroo. We passed. Had a selection of appetizers…
It was a ways out from our hotel and tourist area but worth the drive. Parking in back and kind of a brew house atmosphere. Food was great and service, too.
The staff fitted us in at the last minute so that we could eat an hour earlier than the reservation we had made which had been relatively late due to the popularity of the restaurant. Our waiter wa…
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…

Service was friendly and very quick to get our 1st course up. The salmon has a great sauce with a tasty zip. A lot of cursing by patrons at the bar was a bit of a turn-off.

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.
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 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.
