I love old man River! It has so much charm and ive been going there since I was little! One of my favorite food is clams and I love to get them from there! I think it is a very cute place and it is a fun place to hangout with family and friends! The only complaint I have is the BBQ brisket and the other meat I got was extremely dry and had a very very strong smoky taste which I did not like I was not able to finish it. There are also a lot of bees which is understandable due to people having soda and food so im assuming this would be hard to control. Overall this is an amazing place and I love walking to the park across the street after I eat there.
$14 for a burger and it doesn't come with seasoning.
Unfortunately the food experience was overrated and very expensive. I ventured here specifically for the lobster roll, which was made very well, but didn’t quite seem to equate to the $30 that was spent on just that. My husband also purchased the fish and chips which the portion size just didn’t seem to add up to the $25 that was spent on that as well. It was disappointing to receive food that had cost over $60 already but still had to purchase more food which was a cheeseburger and fries. The cheeseburger had no taste and was poor in quality and made my stomach very uncomfortable immediately. To me it seems like you pay more for the lakeside view than the food itself.
Wonderful laid-back setting, good food and drinks, and the staff were really friendly. Nice location and worth the trip (we aren’t from Buffalo).
Disgusting and chewy clams. Do not visit.
Way too expensive for what you get.
Love the outdoor music!
Very friendly people. Nice choice of comfort foods and a great seafood shack.

I went there with my wife on the Labor Day weekend to hear one of Western New York's premiere rock guitar groups Dave Constantine and his band who's been rocking Western New York since the early '70s and enjoy what they had to offer in the way of a variety of foods from burgers hot dogs sausage to seafood including various prepared clams scallops fish shrimp and enjoy the fantastic guitar stylings of Dave Constantine and his band I understand that they close after Labor Day but will be opening again after the spring warms things up again in 2025.

I was told to leave because I had an electric scooter. Most ridiculous thing I ever heard. Been there before and no one said anything. I think the staff had nothing better to do.
