9 reviews for Buffalo Brewing Co
I have now traveled (since February BTW) to St. Louis more than I really would have cared to this past year. At least once a trip (at least being the key phrase there) I hit up Pappy's for some wonderful southern BBQ. Buffalo Brewing Co. is right there so this time I finally decided it was time to give it a try.
I read the reviews of the place before going and I must admit I was a little worried walking in but those fears were quickly erased.
Starting with the beer I was asked by the bartender what type of beer I generally drink to which I was recommended the India Brown Ale (IBA). Very dark, very hoppy beer, beer was fantastic. At one point after finding out I wasn't from the area the bartender offered me three more samples of beers (Heffeweisen, a Red and a fruitier beer) all of which again were fantastic. It was somewhat of a slow night so I was also able to have a nice beer conversation with the bartender.
My order was the Buffalo Bangers with my second side being apple sauce. The sausage was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and nice and juicy on the inside. Perfect blend between buffalo, beef, pork and spices. The mashed potatoes were spot on; I needed NO salt to complement the dish. Finally the apple sauce was obviously home made. You can't fake the chunks of apple this stuff had in it.
Great food, great beer, friendly staff. Very much recommend.

Buffalo drool was good. My buffalo burger was bit on the salty side, but complimented the beer very well. It came with a side of chips which were like kettle chips and i chose mac and cheese.
I know i was in Cards country, but the NBA finals were on and nobody was watching the already decided baseball game, and they didn't want to change the channel until the game was done.
Honestly, we went here looking for Pappy's Smokehouse, which we later learned was in the same building, but in the back. We turned into this place instead, but decided it looked cool enough to stay. Yummy beer, ok food, friendly waitress- this place is A-OK.
I've been to Buffalo Brewing Co three times. My first experience was for lunch. I ordered the Bangers and Mash, which is sausages (bangers) served in or with mashed potatoes. The bangers at Buffalo were made from a mixture of bison meat and pork. While tasty, they were very tough. I was not impressed with any of the food items I saw coming out of the kitchen. I have also tried their potato chip appetizer that is covered in cheese and bacon; the cheese wasnt melted all the way. I dont think Buffalo Brewing is the place to go for lunch or dinner.
The beer is pretty good. I first had it at the St. Louis Micro Brew Fest in 2008. The Buffalo Drool is pretty good for a dark ale. I tried the beer flight on my last visit and had a few new beers which were not on the menu. One was a dark vanilla ale which was very tasty, and the other was said to be a Belgian style beer. The Belgian no where close to any Belgian beer I have had before. Later that same visit I over heard the bartender telling a customer that the beer was more of a darker color hefeweizen. The chili beer was unique, but I was glad I only had a sample size glass.

Sub-par food. Very nice waitresses.
I went with a group, so I was able to try a few different things. I ordered the catfish; it was bland and watery. Do not order this.
I also tried the buffalo meatloaf and the fish & chips and they were both completely uninteresting.
I tried the Buffalo Bangers which are "Homemade Buffalo sausage grilled and topped with carmelized onions n sweet peppers." I wish I would have ordered them because they were quite good.
In general, the food was nothing spectacular. I probably won't be going back.

We just had their microbrew flight of beers. The chili beer was the only unique one. It made the back of my throat burn a little, but in a good way :)
The service was great!
I would drink here and eat at Pappy's next door.

A divers group of Air Force personnel from around the world joined together for their last meal together before returning to their home bases and then onto deployment for the War on Terrorism. Buffalo Brewing Co. located at 3100 Olive Street in St Louis became the venue. The food was outstanding at a very reasonable price; the micro-beer was very good with six samplers for under $6 total; and the staff showed ever effort to make our last night together all together a memorable night out. My total bill for the beer sampler and a Buffalo Burger was under $15. Kudos to the staff and owner!

Angus melt and "Buffalo Drool" beer was very good. Seafood seems like an odd choice at such a place. Price was right. Service was decent. I will be back. Also, they have a 10% off coupon on their website right now.

There are three things that are good here: the buffalo bangers, the mussels and the beer can chicken. If you order these items, you will be happy because they are excellent. I cannot give high reviews to the rest of the menu as I have not tried everything, and the items I have tried - fish and chips and the shrooms - were not to my liking, as they were bland and drenched in oil. I will come back for the aforementioned excellent items, but am wary of venturing further.

the menu was diverse enough and the service and atmosphere was decent enough that we'll likely try again, but this trip was largely a "miss." i understand that every restaurant has its specialties, but when you have buffalo in your name, you might want to make sure the buffalo burgers and buffalo wings are worthy. the burgers were over-cooked and boring. the wings were worthy of a "25-cent wing night" at a sports bar. not quite imo's-bad, but not much better. they made me want growlers or cullpeppers. the homemade potatochips were worthy, though, and like the other reviewers have mentioned, the staff is friendly and professional.
also, no highchairs.
