My fiancé and I come here on a biweekly basis. It's our favorite spot. I have literally never had one bad meal here. I wish they had more wheat and light beers on tap but otherwise zero complaints. Great environment great staff and the food for being a bar is phenomenal. I've had almost everything on the menu ar this point my favorite is the Buffalo chicken sandwich it's the best I've ever had. The food is better at the Rochester location I think. Yummy!

First time here, and we were lucky enough to have Natasha as our waitress. Narasha has a great personality and was helpful when ordering. We had cheese curds and french onion soup. Both were delicious. We then ordered fish and chips, a southwest salad, and a chichen pot pie. Everything was hot and excellent. Natasha was very attentive and made the whole Griffin Claw experience Great. We highly recommend asking for Natasha when dining there.

We had a great experience at Griffen Claw yesterday. Our service from Cole was exceptional and the man at the front who sat us was a gem (didn’t get his name). They have a good variety of beer and if you’re into ciders, multiple (too many imo) options to choose from in that category.

We have been coming here for close to a decade and it is still our favorite place in the Rochester area. Being able to get on the waitlist is priceless when you have kids and it is a very family friendly place. The food is consistently great and they are great at accommodating groups. We have come here with the soccer team many times. Service is always good and friendly and it's just a great atmosphere.

New Favorite Unlocked! I sat at the bar near the kitchen exit. ALL the food their servers ran looked delicious! My bartenders were super friendly and helped me select the perfect beer. Their beer is delicious as well. I would pick this place on food alone, but the atmosphere will reassure you, you've made the right choice.

The best Maurice salad around. Just like Hudson’s Macys BET ??????

Amazing Food! A+ Service all the way around! Best Paloma I've had! Good music, clean bathrooms and eclectic interior make this a must try.
Great Food! Great wings! Nice set up and good service with lots of tvs. They also have a great selection of beers on tap.

I've enjoyed Griffin Claw's brews for some time, and I'm glad this was on the way to an appointment, right off M-59 on Crooks. Brewpubs have gotten smart in recent years, adding good food options and liquor. My wife appreciates that last bit...she liked the Moscow Mule. The brewed options here really set Griffin Claw apart from other brewpubs, with great vodka and soda options blended with fruit juice on tap, or you can get these in cans at the shop that you walk past at the entrance. And, there are some really ambitious beers, including paczki and marshmallow flavored stouts. The Glass Armor barley wine is superb...smooth, with a robust barley flavor...and a massive 13% alcohol. For $9, you get a 10 ounce glass...it's like drinking 3 beers at once, but you won't know it until you try to stand up. The food here is good enough that I would seriously eat here even if they didn't have the beer. The Not Popeye's Chicken Sandwich is...a damn good impersonation of a Popeye's sandwich. There's a massive crunch and terrific flavor. It's served with a chipotle mayo that perfectly compliments it. I got the sweet potato tots as a side. The sweetness makes it an acquired taste - I wish they had regular tots - but they're not bad. The salmon sandwich is mind blowing. You can't tell from the picture, but it's a 3 inch thick plank of beautifully prepared salmon. Really. The shoestring fries are a great compliment. Eating all of that in a single sitting is a real challenge. We took half of it home. The service is really good. The waiters are - and I do mean this as a compliment - dudes dressed casually rather than wearing a company uniform. It does set the mood for a casual dinner with drinks. The prices are appropriate for the massive portions and the quality. Definitely worth a return trip.
