15 Best Pubs near East Aurora

“Maybe we were overhyped. Everything I heard and read said this place was legendary. But the menu was limited: beef on Weck and buffalo wings... or if you want a pizza, you can get the same options but on a crust with cheese. Otherwise, fairly standard sports bar apps.
The inside seemed too dark for a lunch, and the 'outside' area with lots of snow was crowded. Service was polite, but slow for such a small menu. We're told the place always gets a wait by noon and yet it takes 25 minutes to get your food even with so few options for entrees seems uncalculated and unnecessarily slow.
Food was good, but I'd say I've had equal quality wings and sauce at a bit fairer price. And the beef on weck seemed on par with Charlie the butcher, but comes with a handful of chips, not fries, at $15 for just the sandwich? I couldn't go 5 stars. Cost of business, I suppose

Parking: Big lot hidden behind the snow bank, but the access wasn't easy to locate.“

“We were looking for the Cycling Frog drinks and they were the closest who carried it. We came to just pick up, not to drink there but it looked like a really cozy and cool place to have a drink. The woman working there was fantastic, we came because it said that they carried a limited seasonal flavor of the drink and they were all out but she was kind enough to go and grab us a single can that they were selling and it was the last one. It looked like it had a good selection of beers too.“

“Easily the best wing spot in Buffalo. The wings are always perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the blue cheese is sweeter than most but not as sweet as rooties. Classic location with the option to take your food to go, and grab a beer from brew works before sitting down at one of the picnic tables outside. Can't go wrong with Bar-“

“My boyfriend & I came here for dinner while on an overnight in East Aurora. Outstanding food and service! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive and even changed the channel for us on the TV closest to us. The Kobe beef burger was phenomenal! Highly recommend. The service was more welcoming than other restaurants we went to in the area.“

“I absolutely loved my time at Green Buffalo pub! Great food, lots of fun and they were supporting a very good cause on this night.The owner was on hand in house having fun making sure everything was running smoothly. One hell of a great guy.It was all about a local business supporting women ran local businesses specifically. I highly recommend this little pub if you are anywhere near Lancaster stop by and say hi!“

“This restaurant is excellent!! Food is great. Staff is great. Décor is great.“

“I hosted a baby shower at Magruders yesterday and everything was phenomenal! We had beef rollups, and baked chicken, which was beyond delicious!! Along with homemade mashed potatoes, corn, pasta, salad and rolls. Shannon was perfect from helping plan the event to making sure everyone was happy the day of party. If you’re looking for a place to host your next event 10/10 recommend here!! Everyone waved about the event“

“We came in on a busy Friday evening (10/25). The place was packed. We were seated right away and watched as plates were quickly being brought out of the kitchen. Our own food arrived very quick. It was so hot and fresh. I’ve been to other Tully’s locations but have never experienced such quick service with the food still being steaming hot. Our waitress was attentive and kept stopping by to check in on us. We were in and out in under an hour. My husband loved his bacon ranch chicken sandwich and said the macaroni salad was very good. The chicken wing dip and mozzarella sticks are some of our favorite things here.“

“Went for the Saturday Prime Rib Dinner, was not disappointed. As always a delicious meal!“

“mostly quiet relaxing atmosphere“

“we made reservations for 4:45 and the 4 of us were seated right away and handed menus...then it went downhill from there .. at least three servers and a hostess (all extremely young ..like just out of High School maybe...) working for an average Friday dinner service... waited 15 minutes before asking a passing waitress to take our drink orders...she sent over our waitress who apologized for the mix up..we ordered a draft beer, a blueberry lemonade with vodka, a Pepsi, and ice water with lemon and two extra ice waters for those of us with alcoholic drinks...and we ordered an appetizer to share between the 4 of us .. loaded fries....there was apparently some confusion as to who was supposed to be our server... ok, no problem...those things happen... another 15 minutes and a different server brought out the single beer for one of us .. then nothing... another 10 minutes and I got up and asked another waitress if she could find our server and maybe get the rest of our drinks to the table...she said, oh, your server is under age so she can't bring the alcohol...I told her we already had one out of the two alcoholic beverages but not the other and none of the non-alcoholic beverages... she went to find our server...who kept disappearing into a little back room or something...5 minutes later .. my alcoholic lemonade came but not the soda or waters. I again had to ask for the other drinks.. 10 minutes and two waters and the Pepsi showed up .. neither water had a lemon in it as my father ordered....asked the server and she brought a plate with a lemon on it .. but not the third water... my son and I just shared one .. because, obviously this was too difficult an ask to be served our beverages accurately, in an acceptable time and all at the same time... another 5 minutes the appetizer arrived with one small plate and no silverware or napkins... dropped off quickly and walked away quickly before we could ask for them. annoyed.. we ate the Messy, loaded fries off the one big plate they were served on with our fingers!! Our server was again, nowhere to be found!! the other servers were completely oblivious to us as well, even though we were trying to make eye contact with them and show our displeasure...not one asked if there was a problem or went to find our server!!... just as we finished our shared appetizer, hands greasy and messy from eating loaded fries with our fingers and no napkins, our meals arrived, along with our long lost server... She set them down in front of us .. about to walk away ..not ask if everything looked good or if we needed anything else . I spoke up about the need for silverware and napkins!! she never apologized or took away our empty appetizer platter or asked if anyone needed refills on drinks... we did, but we weren't about to go down that road again!!...she brought three out of four wrapped silverware...I got up myself to get another because she again disappeared. . Food was good ...except the pizza ...just ok. fish fry my father had was excellent he said. sat waiting to see our server again to ask for boxes and our check...The server finally showed up again with our check...WE had to ask for 4 boxes...she didn't ask us if we needed them... I also asked for a lid for my dressing to take home ..she looked at it for size and still brought the wrong size with our boxes. I just took one off my father's empty dressing container instead of asking for a different one .. because apparently expecting the bare minimum from this server and restaurant tonight was a bridge too far. I'm not a complainer.. I tip very generously...in fact we spent about $100 tonight and still gave our inept server a $20 tip .. although she definitely didn't deserve it tonight by her job performance, we tried to consider she was just having a bad day... but, as a former server myself, even when I'm having a bad day I apologize for mistakes and try to make up for them... she didn't do anything!! The BARE MINIMUM is all that is expected. Holland Hotel failed to deliver the bare minimum t“

“Stopped in this evening after a day on the slopes with my son the service and atmosphere was amazing. Food was delicious and just what we wanted after being out in the cold. We would recommend this place for a family dinner or casual outing“

“food was definitely worth the money the gravy was great“
