This is like a German Disneyworld. Absolutely humungous beer hall with sky high ceilings, picnic style tables, a stage with live music (a lot of 70s Top 40 covers, which was interesting), friendly and attentive servers in traditional dirndls, and German style lagers and ales on draft. The food is just ok, nothing special, but the portions are massive. The cocktails are not great either, but I wasn't expecting them to be. Overall, it's a bit like being at Oktoberfest with an American twist.

$12 for ONE bavarian pretzel stick. $14 beer $15 parking. Horrible acoustics. And food was not good at all. I expected a way experience from a place like this. Until they figure out their pricing problems and poor food, we will not return. Such a shame.

This was a quick stop for two very hungry visitors to Buffalo. It's a huge space that was loud even though there weren't a lot of people there. The band was playing great German music. The waitstaff was great all in costume. They were so helpful and attentive. There is also lots of outside space too. We had the a great pretzel it was huge and flavorful not to much salt. I had the goulash. It had lots of flavor and spaetzel and billowy. The sauce had lots of flavor, possibly a bit too much salt. The meat was browned and very tasty. My son had the chicken schnitzel and he loved it. They were able to swap the side with spaetzel which came w a very flavored mushroom brown sauce. We had the strudel w vanilla ice cream. It's was really good.

Worst experience I’ve ever had. Been to many. We sat for 15 minutes watching the empty tables and staff stand around talking. Du ist schiezer.I've eaten in Pittsburg, Cleveland, Buffalo (3) never again. and of course the flagship how things are meant to be done Munchen.

We pulled in the parking lot and were told it was going to be $15 for parking, totally ridiculous to charge a patron to park in their lotStrike 1Asked if I could get my chicken sandwich minus tomatoes and onions,I was advised no alterations, um I'm not altering,im asking you to leave it off.. I was advised just pick it offStrike 2I asked for pickles on the side,waiter came back and again said no alterations..I'm asking for a friggin pickles,seriouslyThen he said the chef said it would cost extra..Strike 3Nor going backParking: You should not be charging your patrons to park,especially when they're spending alot of money in your establishment.. Totally ridiculous

The place was awesome... Big noisy beer hall with a great vibe. Food was really good. Will go back for sure.Parking was difficult because of a sporting event but don't let that deter you.

Our party of six was seated in the perfect spot to enjoy the vibrant band and yet still sort’ve carry on some conversation. Karyn was attentive, provided her opinions when asked about menu items and kept us content with drink and sustenance. I hugely enjoyed the little kid parade around the hall lead by two members of the band.

Yesterday was my first time dining atHofbräuhaus Buffalo & it was a great time for a party of 6. Very lively environment. Our waitress Karyn was amazing, personable and left us wanting for nothing!

Wasn't having the best day before I came into the garden section with my fiancé after a few layovers, but boy did that change after our server Zach had the best hospitality and made us feel welcome in Buffalo while visiting. Go Sabers!

I've been a stein club member since their opening. The beer is wonderful and last night, Frank on accordion was awesome. We had to flag down a server after waiting nearly 15 minutes to be asked if we wanted a drink. My biggest concern is that the menu has not changedsince opening. I've been to other Hofbrauhouses in the country and they have a far superior menu. At this point, I'm considering not renewing my Stein club due to their poor stagnant, menus selections,
