I visited at 9am to make a reservation that evening, but per the owners they were unavailable yesterday; I was nor aware. I was looking for The Best Irish Pub in South Buffalo to host a Wake & Griffin's was my #1 choice following research. Ended up booking elsewheret of necessity, but look forward to dinner there at the earliest opportunity. Shepherd's 🥧 & Gunness, please!

Food was delicious. Had fish fry homemade fries and wings. The homemade macaroni salad... even though was a bit dry for my liking i still rated a 5....that homemade taste was everything. The fish was fried perfectly too. Waitress was on point with bringing us drinks and checking on us. Chicken wings fried crispy...I heard the crunch when they were bit into. 😋

Best food in south buffalo , GREAT atmosphere, awesome bartenders! The owner even came out personally to make sure my food was OK. Hands-down best restaurant/bar I’ve been to in a while if you’re going to South Buffalo or even remotely close I recommend stopping in at Griffin‘s Irish pub.

One evening, my two college roommates invited me to a bar for drinks and socializing. As the night began, I ordered a non-alcoholic beverage before planning to order a cocktail. However, before I could do so, the restaurant owner who was also our bartender ordered security to have me removed. Instead of addressing me directly, the security guard approached my two friends and informed them that I needed to leave. Notably, both of my friends were Caucasian, and I was the only person of color in the establishment . My friends were shocked and upset. Wanting to avoid conflict and not ruin the night, I proceeded to order an alcoholic beverage and remained at the establishment. However, the owner continued making obscene gestures toward the security guard, seemingly frustrated that I was still there. Feeling unwelcome, we decided to settle our tab and leave. This experience was one of the most disheartening encounters of my life.
Response to the Owner:
We visited your establishment on Saturday, March 1st, 2025. The security guard in question was indeed African American. As someone born and raised in Naples, FL a predominantly conservative and primarily white community I have never encountered this type of discrimination before. It was truly a disappointing and disheartening experience.

I ordered 3 fish fries during lent. You know wherever you order from during lent around dinner time you are going to wait. Even though I had to wait the food and service was amazing and the atmosphere made the time fly. Thank you for an amazing dinner my family enjoyed every morsel.

Wow….Griffin’s Irish Pub absolutely just became my new go to breakfast spot in the Buffalo area. I’ve eaten here before and always loved it, but this was my first time coming in for breakfast and I was blown away.
I ordered the Irish Fry-Up and a half order of the biscuits and gravy, and let me tell you, the portions are huge! Thick cut bacon, quality sausage, perfectly cooked eggs, crispy rye toast and the best biscuits and gravy I’ve had up north.
This place is seriously one of the most underrated breakfast spots in Western NY. Totally worth checking out if you’re a breakfast person…and from what I’ve been told, brunch on the weekends are great too….Can’t wait to come back!

Love it here! Great food, friendly staff! Good people who are building a nice, inclusive community
Griffin’s has been one of my favorite finds in South Buffalo! We’ve dined in at the bar, ordered delivery and even catering for Thanksgiving. Everything has been absolutely amazing! Food, portions, prices, service…even the way they package their to-go orders is above and beyond. They are definitely worth the visit!

Thank you so much for offering Thanksgiving dinner! Great price, awesome food! The Turkey was amazing and sides so good! It was a blessing for us this year battling with medical issues. Bless you and your family 😊
