Papi Grande's Waterfront and Beach Bar

I had the Taco Pescado which was really great! My loganberry mojito was also so yummy. Trivia night was so much fun, they do it on Monday and Wednesday. Sydney B was very sweet and a really great, attentive server!

When my friends and I arrived, it looked nothing like the advertisement. We still stayed to give it a chance. I’m not a huge drinker but I had about two mixed drinks. They did not taste good at all. I won’t be back but I won’t discourage others from patronizing. The staff were super friendly and being near the water was great!

Papi grandes near amc theater is trash but the cook here has had me craving the pulled pork Mac n cheese ever since I had it there. The views nice too we sat by the fire while we were at a silent disco. The waitress was also very lovely

On the water , but not water accessible. You would need to dock your boat or kayak somewhere else as the docks waterside are for the apartment building next door. It's a good concept, to have a quick grab Mexican food and cold cocktail like margaritas and daiquiris waterside. The view is nice looking across the water at River works too. I didn't care for all the uneven surfaces ( fake grass carpeting) and plastic Adirondack chairs ( of which many are broken). A few simple up- grades along with permanent restrooms would be appreciated. Food was tasty and served pretty quick. it's a nice stop to hang out for a bit or meet up with some friends. The large over sized games are fun to play too.

We showed up excited to try this new "beach" front bar. Had to park a little distance away and walk. Entry is strange will small bumpy hill (definitely not ADA compliant) covered in astroturf material (outdoor, dirty carpet). This is actually a small bar along the river made out of what looks like an old shipping container. We didn't see a kitchen, so our meals were mysteriously prepared somewhere?? Service was... strange. Young women who seemed confused or perhaps impaired. We were also confused - it was totally empty on a weekday during the summer. We were the only ones there and asked about it. They responded that it's usually packed but kids went back to school that week. Queso with chips was very good with a generous serving size, but everything else was average at best. This is more a night life location, an outdoor bar. No bathrooms, only portable outdoor restrooms. We do not plan to return.

Stopped by for a drink… staff friendly and attentive. Beautiful setting with the fire pits on water. Relaxing venue… will be back

So the last time I was here the food was great, this time I ordered a quesadilla to go, I got no rice or anything on the side (I did last time?), no hot sauce, and a small quesadilla for $18. Not sure what has changed here in a month but I do not recommend getting food here ever. 1/10 for food and drinks were okay, frozen machine wasn’t working. Bartender was great but steer clear of ordering any food. Very disappointed here today.

Nice casual summer hangout. Food choices limited but food is good. Drinks to satisfy anyone’s liking. Great to see a place like this in Buffalo.

Food and drinks were okay. Such a great spot to be close to the water with a beach

I have been wanting to go here since they first opened, so I'm sad to leave a review like this. I am a tropical girl through and through and love me a good tropical theme bar. Unfortunately I was disappointed to say the least. We went the Friday of Memorial Day, and there was literally no one there. Other surrounding places were bumpin! So it seemed very strange that there were next to no patrons other than ourselves for the good 2 hours we were there. We kept wondering where all the people were! But maybe they knew something I didn't. The concept of this place is cool but it all seems kind of thrown together with the food, picnic tables, etc. We did not eat but by the looks of the area where the food is produced, I wouldn't want to order anything. I would stick to drinks only. It's on the "water" and has "sand" but lacks any sort of a true tropical/beachy atheistic and the Porta potties could at least be upgraded to the trailers. There are alot of nice places in that area and I don't think they can compete. At least not with a mature crowd. Im sure I'd go here if I was in my young 20s but this place does not live up to the hype. The bartenders were very nice but I wouldn't go back.

This was our first time there. The food was very good. The music was ok. Not sure if it was a dj or not. We could hear the music from across the river about as loud

Stopped by for a quick drink on a bike ride and enjoyed a great wine slushy for their happy hour. It was six dollars and definitely worth it. at the time they didn’t seem to have any food options available, but I know they do have food based off of a menu that was referenced at the bar. (Will update this review after visiting in the future to try the food as well.)The place is directly across from Riverworks so you can sit in some of their lounge chairs and enjoy the boats and kayaks going up and down the river while enjoying music playing at some of the local establishments nearby.
