We went there for the first time last night. The place is beautiful and I can't wait to go back for outdoor events when it gets nicer outside. The beer was good and the food was good. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We will be back!

Went here on a cold and rainy Saturday night. Immediately got a spot at the first floor bar tables and got to enjoy a cool band from upstairs. Great selection of lighter beers, large food menu, and friendly/attentive staff. Definitely worth it to go to Lovejoy and check out.

First time here. Came for lunch/brunch. It's very nicely updated inside. Sat in the bar area at a high top. It was a little bit chilly in there. Wasn't a huge fan of the beer menu, but the one dish we split was good. Grilled cheese 10/10 Really delicious. The toast on the bread was perfect. The cheesiness was fantastic. The tomato bacon combo was really good together too. Queso came on the side, it tasted mostly like peppers to me and was slightly too thin. But it was good to dip both the fries and the sandwich in. Truffle fries 6/10 Thin almost-shoestring fries. They taste a little cardboardy because they're so thin and slightly overcooked- very similar to McDonald's. The fries on the top are the most truffley. They definitely needed something to dip them in, an aioli would be good, or more queso.

The food here was fantastic. We stopped in to meet up with friends to watch a basketball game and ordered a few appetizers to share during the game. The Cheddar & Potato Pierogi were amazing!

I came to this brewery twice in the last month. Once, three weeks ago, was for a friend's birthday. The other instance was two weeks ago, for a date night with my boyfriend. When I came here about three weeks ago, it was on a Friday night, and it wasn't too busy. We all shared appetizers, ordered food, and desserts. I had a flight of beer on that occasion and it was really good. I shared truffle fries with my three friends and they were really delicious! I had the blueberry burger with macaroni and cheese as a side. They let me choose which kind of cheese I wanted. It was my first time ordering creme brûlée. It was fantastic. The service was really good. When I came here two weeks ago, I got here around 6pm on a Saturday. It was very busy. They were a little unorganized because they weren't sure if they had a waitlist and if anyone was waiting before us. We weren't waiting long before we were seated upstairs. I had an IPA. I ordered the marinated olives appetizer. It was missing a few things in there. The crostini was good though. My boyfriend's peanut lime noodle bowl was way too hot for him. We were assured that it wasn't that hot. I ordered the voodoo pasta. It was bow tie pasta with sliced kielbasa, shrimp, onions, peppers, and house made Cajun alfredo sauce. It was really good and not way too hot (spicy). They had a singer that night (Aaron Ziolkowski) playing downstairs near the entrance. He was really good. Overall, I enjoyed both experiences at this bar on the east side. They've been open since May of last year. Come give them a shot. You'll enjoy the food and service!

Was not good. Giant TV you can't see from the bar. Told me they were having a band,turned out to be a nobody with a guitar. Too loud to carry on a conversation while dinning. Had 630 reservations and weren't served till 830.And the plate was cold. Very poorly designed. Will not repeat

The place was very nice. Got there for our reservation for four (6 o'clock)wasn't too crowded. Ordered our drinks, the beer was very good. Ordered appetizers and entrees all in one shot. They had live music I believe at 7 that's when we got our appetizers ( peppers, scallops and olives) everything was very good! As we waited for our entrees I noticed people who came in after us were getting food before us eating and leaving! Our wives ordered chicken fingers and we ordered steaks the girls fingers came out around 8o'clock and still no steaks. The girls didn't want to eat because they say it's rude until we got our food but after 10-15 min they started. The waitress was very nice told us one steak is ready and they other still has a few. They took the steaks off the bill but one steak came out at 830 and the other 845. I also thought it was weird they didn't give us a bill to look at, just gave us a price. I was just never in a restaurant that it 3 hours to eat a meal. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt maybe they we're under staffed but again shouldn't have to wait more then 2 1/2 hours for food!

Let me first say, I have not been here. However, I was scheduled to play here on my tour (had sleeping arrangements, invested money, time and energy) and they canceled a week out from tour because they are "no longer open on Wednesdays", throwing off my plans completely. The date was booked for months. Adding to this, they have not responded to my most recent email asking if they could help me get in somewhere else in the area. Clearly very disorganized and do not care about the artists they book. Can't speak to the beer or food if they have it, but if you are a musician DO NOT PLAY HERE, you would be disrespecting everything you've worked so hard for.

This is a very cool place. Great food, great atmosphere and great staff! Beer is fantastic as well. Also, big thanks to Orlando for giving us a tour of the brewery. We’ll be back for more beer, food and live music. Go check out this local gem!

Classy brewery with a large outdoor patio. They have an expansive food menu, so it's a great dinner spot even if you aren't drinking beer. They did a really nice job remodeling this space, and it definitely gives off a sophisticated vibe.

We’re a local rock band and recently played at the Brewery. All of our friends that came to see us raved that atmosphere was very comfortable, the food was amazing, beers were impressive and the service was outstanding. The band also all enjoyed a meal before playing and loved all the things we ate. Definitely looking forward to going back to relax and enjoy a beer flight and a meal! Buffalo Olde Brewery is a local gem and we look forward to being back there!
