The vibe in here is everything! Came on a Sunday afternoon for brunch to celebrate a close friend’s birthday. Table was reserved so of course we were seated immediately. The menu is not too extensive for brunch, but the prices are very reasonable. I ordered the Chicken and Butter Pecan Waffle and it was delicious. The fried lobster looked amazing and other guests said it was really good. About halfway through, the DJ set up and it was a whole jam session. Highly recommend!

The place is dirty, one random health inspection, and they will be closed down. The staff are rude and they are currently being audited by the government for fraud. Will not get paystub’s or W-2s. Very sketchy.

Hey I came to the buffalo kitchen club at about 5 Friday to have dinner with my mom and sister and it was HORRIBLE… we called ahead of time to make sure they were serving fish fry’s they told yes… when we got there they said they didn’t have nothing ready and was switching over from brunch and only had Appetizers… we were getting up to leave and the girl said “ well what y’all wanted I can go see” we should left then but had Already drove way over here… we wanted two fish fry dinners and a salmon dinner and drinks…. They didn’t have our sides forget some of food … the waitresses were confused … they didn’t have yellow rice, green beans , and something else my mom wanted. The steak egg Rolls was burnt and the staff just seem not to care …. i’ve been here before I never experienced this. I don’t know if it was a new staff or cook or what, but it was horrible. My mom fish was fishy to the point you could taste the fishy , fries was cold, salmon wasn’t cooked all the way … it was just a bad experience and I am super surprised we spent a lot of money and still tip as nobody felt like arguing we did tell the waitress how we felt and she basically was like she don’t have no control over the cooking or supplies…. It just wasn’t a good dinner sorry buffalo kitchen club idk what is going on but we had a bad experience …. We were the only ones there and our Waitress went missing, so the white security guard brought us our food and mixed everything up and forgot some of our sides … and we was billed wrong it was just EVERYWHERE

Delicious well thought out food with simple themes presented beautifully with so much flavor. I had the shrimp curry, my husband fried chicken, daughter the ribs and her boyfriend fish (lemon pepper). It was all really good. Decor stylized buffalo graphic modern. Full bar. Service was really good. Even the silverware was new and different, like a dark metal. Great for a special occasion or fun dinner night.

I celebrated my birthday here and everything was amazing! Our waiter, Shawn provided excellent service, as he was friendly and attentive to our party. Reggie, the cook was also great and this is some of the most delicious food I've ever had!! I cannot wait to return, this is my new favorite spot!

Never disappointed anytime I go here. My personal favorite is the fried lobster. The sampler with the chicken wings and mac-n-cheese was amazing! Always good vibes here. 10/10

This is the place to be for brunch in Buffalo! Every time I dine in for brunch with friends, the atmosphere, service, and food are consistently wonderful. While the restaurant is usually packed to the brim, we never had a bad experience. My favorite thing to get is the shrimp and grits, however all of the entree’s are delicious. The owners and entire staff are all so accommodating and helpful. If we ever have an issue with anything they’re super quick to rectify the situation. I highly recommend Buffalo Kitchen Club to any and everyone!

My wife and I spent the weekend in Buffalo for the game and this was our first stop in Buffalo. We arrived at 1:00 on the dot. We came in, was seated and waited about 10 minutes before our server made her way to our table. As soon as she walked up, we got a whiff of fish (we didn’t even order anything yet). The server took our drink order and we waited another solid 10 minutes before our drinks came. We ordered a chicken and waffle and shrimp and grits. We didn’t get our food until 2:10-2:15. In the midst of this wait time, our server didn’t refill our drinks not one time but was VERY attentive to the gentlemen behind us that kept ordering the lobster tail appetizer. When our food did arrive, it was barely lukewarm. Then we waited an additional 5 minutes or so for our silverware. Then I waited another 5 minutes or so for some more syrup, all the while, the gentlemen ordering the lobster tails were receiving 5 star service from the same server we have. Whatever, we ate our food, paid and left. We didn’t want our first time in Buffalo to be ruined so we didn’t press the issue. I started having abdominal pain a few hours after eating and I have had the worst case of diarrhea since then. Mind you, this happened Saturday and here we are in Monday and im still sick. This place needs a serious re training for the servers and especially the cook. The broth in the shrimp and grits was so lukewarm, it didn’t even seem like it was cooked to temperature to begin with. My waffle was hard and my chicken was extremely on the crispy side. The server on the other hand would have benefitted greatly had she not chilled at the end of the bar, texting and playing on her phone. Maybe my food would’ve came out hot and I wouldn’t be sick right now. I DO NOT recommend this place.

It was very cold and we had to wait over 40 min,and they didn't have what I wanted even though it was on the menu. Also I didn't like the worker were working in their street clothes.

This was an up and down visit. We have seen several restaurants in this location, and I have been sad to see them go, but we're excited to check this place out. Walking in my family was overwhelmed by the smell of weed. We almost left just due to that. We went in for an early dinner, and the music was WAY too loud. We all had to shout at each other, and the server seemed to struggle to hear us. Later a more experienced server came in and I believe she had the music turned down which we appreciated. I am not sure how a restaurant with a full bar and wine room can be out of both Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay, but there were. My 3rd choice also came warm and in a plastic cup! When bringing a second glass the more experienced server did make sure it was in an actual glass. My order was wrong, likely due to the music, but the food was delicious nonetheless. I had the salmon which was cooked perfectly. We started with calamari, the pieces were thick, which I loved and not overcooked! Sadly I won't be in a hurry to return, I just can't trust what type of experience I will get.

Not sure how the food was. We sat for 12 minutes and NEVER got acknowledged, so we left and ate at 5 Guys. So much for supporting a local place. Menu was small and expensive. Service was the worst!
