The Public House of Buffalo

Employees yelled at passerby to the point of harassment.

SERVERS ARENT GIVEN THE FULL TIP

The food here was decent and I enjoyed the chicken and waffles (despite the prepackaged waffle) and our service was exemplary. While Im not sure if this is true, the automatic 20% gratuity applied to ALL tables is not even given to the server entirely

Our server dropped our bill and told us that only 7% of the AUTOMATIC gratuity is actually given to your server.

This is poor management and quite unfortunate to see a business taking advantage of their employees

Had a great time at Public House. Food was very good and drinks were made well.

First time there with my husband and daughter and we felt like family and ate some insanely amazing food! Great addition to Hertel!

While visiting Buffalo recently I eagerly looked forward to enjoying a Buffalo fish fry. I was immensely disappointed at this restaurant’s idea of a Fish Fry. The Mac salad and coleslaw were uneventful but the large piece of fish was lying on top of the French fries which made them soggy. Now, for the worst….the beer battered fish looked good at first till I cut into it and saw the inside was still uncooked. The crust was mushy and unappetizing. It was one big mess and the topper of this was there was an extra charge of $1.00 on my bill for the Chef. Save your money and pick another place or don’t order the fish fry even though the bottled beer I ordered was great.

I’ve been in a few times mid-week. The beers are fine, but the food is an abomination. The menu is almost all fryer food, which isn't always a bad thing, but it’s certainly not great here. Most recently I ordered the loaded fries ($13) and it was a plate of the saltiest fries I’ve ever had, loaded with melted nacho cheese (not in a good way) and some bacon. Menu also mentioned ranch but I didn’t see any. I think the bartenders are multi-tasking between working the bar, making food, and waiting tables, and it shows. Other times I’ve ordered other fried items that come out too dark and over cooked. Maybe the food is better on the weekend when there is (presumably) more staffing. Maybe that is where some of the more positive reviews are coming from. In my experience the staff is set up to fail. If I know I’m meeting friends here I eat dinner before I leave the house and stick to their beer menu.

Pub like bar, excellent bar food menu. Service with a smile.
