      I tried this place at the behest of a dear friend and I'm glad I did! The burgers were great! The ambiance was cheerful, and the waitstaff was pleasant and knowledgeable.

      The drink menu had some unique beverage choices, as did the food menu... some interesting twists on old favorites.

      They had a reeeaallly good fish fry. One of their entree's is fried fish, fries and cole slaw. The fish was amaaaziinggg. And huge! Such a big portion for the price. I highly recommend.

      The fries were awful. Truly tasted like old grease and burnt potatoes. But it was like 10pm when we came, so whatever. Things happen.

      Overall good experience. Staff was cool, ambiance was chill. Quiet enough to have a conversation with some friends. Service was quick. I also thought their cocktails were good. I recommend this place for a good late night meal and drinks.

      Great brunch spot! Great service! I would recommend the fried pickles- 11/10 and their chicken sandwich or the steak sandwich with a banana pepper!

      One of the very best burgers I have ever had! And the best in recent memory. So flavorful and juicy. It was a bit pricey BUT I definitely feel it lived up to the price! The fries that accompanied were also excellent in their own right crispy and perfectly seasoned. We also got an order of Buffalo wings (how can you not in Buffalo?) and those were pretty delicious too, could have been a tad hotter and a little saucier, but the skin was cooked crisp which I totally appreciate. I took my college kid out for a little treat after eating dorm food for the past month, and they ( picky eater) had that food gone in a matter of minutes, and was a big fan.
      Everything I saw coming out of the kitchen looked delicious-and the portions are very generous, so there is value. Next time I'm going for the nachos!
      We had excellent, friendly service with a casual comfy vibe

      Burning Buffalo is a great choice for lunch or a night out with friends. While the mac and cheese is a definite highlight, the grilled chicken sandwich I got (shown below) fell short. However, the fried chicken sandwich remains a consistent go-to menu item for me. It's a great spot for comfort food and a laid-back atmosphere with friends.

      Needed a late night spot with good happy hour and ended up here luckily! Our waitress was super sweet and she kept the drinks flowing which was what we needed! The margaritas are spot on and the vodka and cranberry is a great way to start off the night lol. I enjoyed the tacos, didn't really like the shells but added some pick to the mix and it wasn't half bad. My gf enjoyed the Cuban sandwich and fries and I think what made tonight even better was that it wasn't too crowded and we could pretty much sit anywhere we wanted and not be bothered. Loved it! Had only been here for brunch before and now I have another great experience to talk about. Next time dinner! Lol

      Went for brunch on Sunday. The place was not crowded when we first arrived at 11, but it definitely filled up while we ate. I ordered the breakfast burrito and couldn't believe how huge it was when it came out! The ingredients were plentiful, my only complaint is that it could have been spread out better in the burrito. It seemed like there was so much meat (is there ever too much?) on the one side, but the other end hardly had any. Same thing with the egg. A few people ordered the brunch burger which also looked fantastic; it came with a ton of fresh fries. We will definitely be back here! The drink menu also had a lot of options. The guava Bellini was a fav. Thanks to our kind waitress for stopping to take our photo.

      Wow. I had one of the THE BEST burgers ever. Perfectly made, excellent flavor, delicious garlic mayo on it. It's the next day and I'm still thinking about that burger.

      Onion rings were perfect, too. Crispy, not greasy, hot and fresh.

      We had the soft pretzel, too. Best one I've had since visiting Germany.

      The staff were attentive and friendly. Our waitress offered great suggestions and was really nice.

      Don't pass up on this gem of a pub. Love this place!
