Didn't get to a lot of fish fry places this Lenten season so we were excited when Brooke's parents wanted to come here. It did not disappoint. Easily climbed to my top 3 favorite fish fry places. I tried the Cajun and it was very well seasoned. Would love to make this a regular spot. Servers were very friendly. read more

I've heard so many good things about the fish fry, I had to come try it for myself. I called ahead today because I wasn't sure how busy it gets on a Friday. A woman answered the phone and said, "Hello?" I asked if it was the Bellevue Hotel, she said yes, told her I was calling ahead for two, she said they don't do reservations, it's first come first serve. Cool. Upon arrival, there's plenty of parking in the rear, although you can't tell just driving by from the street. I got a good spot right in front. Walking up to the door, it's worn, I wasn't sure what to expect inside but when I walked in, I thought okay, this place has a great history all over the walls. Plenty of pieces to check out and talk about. On the walls upon entry, there was a framed newspaper article about the Hotel repairing its roof, lots of photos, a large photo of Lincoln above the bar entry, honestly, if I had more time, I would have checked out everything but those were just a few things I noticed. It was about 73 degrees outside, felt about the same inside. I got a little hot after a while but I had great company so I didn't mind but I'm mentioning this because I don't know if they use the air conditioner to get much cooler and that would matter to some people who need the air to be colder. I ordered a coffee, water and fish fry. My spoon was suspect, I wiped it with my towel and pretended not to notice but my coffee was great. My fish fry was superb! Flaky, crispy, tender, fluffy and about the size of my forearm. Lol Filled the plate, which is what you want when ordering a fish fry! The French fries were good, also crispy, the Cole slaw was great, I also enjoyed the pasta salad. I asked from the German potatoes to try them but I wasn't a huge a fan, they were too sweet for me but I also don't have anything to compare it to, there was also a slice of Rye bread on the side. I will definitely come again for the fish fry and have the regular potato salad. Top notch though. Only thing I could have done without were the flies. There were a few of them, I know they get inside but they were annoying. Other than that, I had a good experience. The waitress was great! My friend enjoyed her meal as well, she also got a fish fry. Our meals came out to forty something dollars with two drinks. I'll return again. read more

This was always my favorite fish fry stop. But, the last few times they were out of one side or another. The service is always good. But, the kitchen was slow the last two visits. We waited over 30 minutes each time for our food. Also, they had the room temperature set at 67 degrees. We were shivering while we ate. Seems like something has changed here. read more

30 cent wings? How can you go wrong! They have a deal every Thursday this month on wings. We went last Thursday and I thought they were good especially for the price. All I wish is that they were saucier. These were medium and I definitely could have went hot because the medium was not spicy at all. I am not sure if it is everyday, just lunch time, or just Thursdays because they used to be closed on Thursdays, but they did have a very limited menu. They only had wings, fingers, fries, mozzarella sticks, and pizza logs. When we went there we had to order at a designated ordering spot at the bar and sit. There is a decent amount of spots to sit and you can definitely tell it has an old feeling to it. There was a different aesthetics to every room. The room we sat in was a nice bed and breakfast feeling room with low tables and chairs. The other room had the bar. The last room had the dart boards and high top tables with bar stools. read more

Bellevue Hotel - fish and chips on a plate - American Near Me - Buffalo, New York

This might be my favorite fish fry spot of the season! We called in an order for some fish fries and were very happy with what we got! Let's start off with the fish. It wad a great crunchy outside and was cooked perfectly. It was also a great size too which meant they gave us the order in a small pizza box. Now let's talk about the sides. SO MANY SIDES. Potato salad, mac salad, coleslaw, rye bread, and fries! And I have to say, they were all delicious! It was so much food and I was so happily stuffed after this. This is such a great spot. It feels like an old hometown bar that I used to live next to as a kid so it felt very familiar when I walked in. The staff were all super friendly and I can't wait to go back for more here. read more

Bellevue Hotel - American Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Excellent fish fry. We had broiled fish (lemon pepper, cajun) and it was delicious. Side salads were excellent as well.

This was our first time dining in at the Bellevue and it did not disappoint. We got there a little after 5PM and waited about 45 minutes to be seated. That was expected as it was a Friday during Lent in WNY. Seated in the "red" room and had planty of elbow room, was not overly loud. The server was very attentive. Had the beer battered fish fry and the batter was a golden brown and very light and crispy! Had a choice between American or German potato salad. All the sides were delicious and my fiance had the broiled fish which was tender and moist! Would totally recommend for the fish dinners! read more

Solid fish fry. Potato salad needs some work before it gets my 5. Would recommend either the beer batter or panko haddock.

I came back to Bellevue during lent on a Friday. You can expect a wait on a normal Friday but during lent double that wait. We arrived at 4:30 and had to wait an hour, exactly the time the host gave us, where we waited in the packed bar had drinks and chatted. After ordering the wait for our food was longer than most restaurants, but for me the quality of the food is worth the wait. On this visit I wanted to avoid fried foods so I got the Chicken Cesar Salad and it did not disappoint. It was an enormous plate full of crisp green romaine, a very large chicken breast that was perfectly grilled, generous amount of Parmesan cheese and Cesar dressing on the side. I stuffed myself full and still had enough leftovers for another meal the next day. The servers were very friendly and accommodating and I always make sure to say hi to my favorite waitress. If your going here on a Friday be prepared for a wait, Lenten time or not. read more

I went out to dinner with my mom and stepdad a couple weeks ago. My stepdad chose the Bellevue hotel as he heard they did a good fish fry. The restaurant itself is legit inside of an old-school hotel. It's actually pretty cool. Mom and Pete both had the fish fry. Beautiful pieces of fried haddock I believe. Homemade sides of Mac salad and coleslaw were served along side the fish as well as French fries. I chose the fettuccine Alfredo. It was a good dish and I have just one critique in that I do believe it could've been elevated with a side of broccoli or veggie of some sort. But that is a problem that is easily fixed as I will just ask for a side of vegetables next time I go in and order this dish. Our waitress was fantastic and I truly wish I would've caught her name. She was friendly and attentive. We honestly can't wait to go back to this place. read more

I came here with my brother on a Friday evening before a Sabre game. Fridays are the only weeknight they serve dinner here, they are otherwise open only for lunch. The fish was very crispy, which my brother, who has been here before, thought was odd. It made me wonder afterward if we had perhaps had received the Panko-coated fish by mistake, but it didn't occur to me to ask until after we had left. The sides offered a choice of German or American potato salad, coleslaw, fries, and a slice of rye bread. The meal was very good, and the server was friendly. Not a bad choice for a Friday fish fry. read more

Bellevue Hotel - fish fry with fries, coleslaw, macaroni salad, German potato salad, and rye bread - American Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I was here for a funeral breakfast. Not sure when we were expected to be at the restaurant but when we got there doors were locked. It took almost 5 minutes before they opened the doors. This was family style so food was brought to our tables and passed. We didn't get served until well over an hour when we arrived. Again not sure when we were to be expected or the timing of when we were to be served. Food was really good if you like the old time polish food. Fall off the bone pork chops served with apple sauce. Kapusta, lazy pierogies, chicken, potatoes and bacon and eggs. We also had beer, wine and pop. Just what everyone likes. The servers were great and moving fast to get everyone their food. May have to try it for dinner. also note they have volleyball courts. Seems like a great place. read more

This our go-to fish fry. We have ordered from several restaurants for take-out during the Covid 19 pandemic, and sadly but understandably, not all of them have delivered as consistently as before. However, I am not going to write any negative reviews while this crisis is going on. I have no desire to kick a local business while they are down. But I will point out the establishments that continue to offer great food with no decline in quality as a result of the crisis. Bellevue Hotel is one of them. My wife and I ordered the standard Friday fish fry, battered for her, breaded for him. And we also picked up a single order of bar-b-q wings for the non-seafood eating member of our household. Nice that they offered both wings and fish fries on a Friday. We had been frequent customers of Bellevue for several years, and everything was just as good as it always was. The food was ready precisely when our order was due. Everything was prepared with the high standards we have been used to. Kudos to Bellevue Hotel for our excellent dinners. read more

Food was great. Great atmosphere. Staff were very friendly service was fast will try again.

Best fish fry ever. This was almost perfect for me. I don't like green pepper and there was some in the macaroni salad ( I won't deduct a star because it's just my own preference) ) but other than that it was the most delicious fish fry that was cooked to perfection. We tried a whole bunch of places during lent and I still cannot stop thinking about this one. read more

Tonight we were craving a good fish fry as the place we used to go to has closed. We found the Bellevue Hotel and were definitely very happy. The fish was done to perfection, the sides were plentiful, the service was awesome, staff was so nice. The price for this spectacular and filling meal was so reasonable. As my husband was in a wheelchair one of the staff helped assist us up the handicap ramp (that needs a refurbishing) and back out. We have found our new go to place for fish fry. read more

Definitely check out this place if you're in the market for a great fish fry. The portions were large and it was very crispy and well cooked and also came out very hot, which was great because we knew it wasn't sitting in the back getting cold. The dining room is a bit on the smaller size and it was loud and crowded so the wait was a bit long, but the food and the service was great so that won't scare us away from coming back. Overall, a great experience; definitely recommend to anyone looking for a casual, fun place with great food and service to check out for dinner. read more

My favorite place for a fish fry. Great fish and great sides. Choice of American or German Potato salad. You have the option of substituting sweet & sour carnage read more

Stopped in for a fish fry with family in from out of town and other in-laws. Eight of us. We were all very satisfied with our food and service. Big portions and just delicious! Four sides. The server was out of this world! We will definitely return and we would recommend this establishment to anyone and everyone. read more

Our first time and we were not disappointed. One of the best fish fry I've had in a while. The sides were excellent and the portions were huge. The service was friendly. Highly recommended. We will be back. read more

Wow, what a great place. And that old wives tale of being haunted is kinda fun too. One of my go to spots in the wintertime. Plenty of parking, clean bathrooms, and good jukebox. Great wings! Had the garlic parm. Cooked perfectly, crispy, not slimy, great sauce coverage. Special that day was $1.50 Yeungling draft pints, which I like. Pretty inexpensive. And worth a visit. Cant wait to get back there again. read more

Staff was super friendly, we ordered 2 fish fry and they were great and poked holes in the container so when we got home our food wasn't soggy. Probably my favorite fish fry, the only thing I didn't like was how skimpy they were on fries.. we literally only had like a small hand full. But everything else was great! read more

Contrary to popular belief this is not actually a hotel. I've been coming here for about three years after softball and I've fallen in love with the patrons and the bartender Darlene. The food is phenomenal and the service is great. My biggest disappointment is that they haven't opened up the hotel upstairs for all the nights I've gotten tanked here. read more

My favorite fish fry is a little known place called the Bellevue Hotel. It's nothing fancy, and the dining room is open only on Friday - food at the bar the rest of the week. The fish fry is fantastic, as is the service. Early bird 1/2 filet for around $9, full filet is under $12, your choice of beer battered or half dozen other ways, and it's skinless. Comes with fries, coleslaw, mac salad, german or american potato salad, (or sweet/sour cabbage substitution). The sides are sooo good. Best fish fry around! Our favorite waitress is often solo during the early lunch and handles the room like a boss! Treats us like family and even has our orders memorized. read more

Heard great things about this place from a co worker and figured we would check it out for a fish fry on friday which is their specialty! Everything was great! We had mixed drinks honestly they were perfectly mixed nothing cheap tasting! The fish fry portion was huge and very good with having german or american potato salad also you got fries, macaroni salad, cabbage or coleslaw with rye bread! Huge potion and decent prices! About 12 dollars for each fish fry but you get 4 sides with it automatically and the fish is huge! They have a half size as well for 8 dollars i believe! I had the lemon pepper fish and my boyfriend had beer battered! Only reason i didnt give this 5 stars was because the service was pretty slow and it took about 10 minutes to even get drinks then about 25 minutes for food which honestly we were out for date night we didn't mond but we were just absolutely starving! Also a tip i would go around 6 oclock around 715 they ran out of fish! They are very busy on fridays and everyone in there had a fish fry! We got there about 645 so we just made it in time! read more

Best fish fry in town. Salads are fresh and tasty. Waitresses are friendly and quick. Love this place.

The only reason I am giving this a 3 is because I usually get decent service. My friend and I went into the bar area this past Friday, the 23rd probably around 9:30pm. You could tell the bartender was visibly intoxicated. Immediately when we went up to the bar this woman was extremely unfriendly and rude. We were asking about specials and food and she was very rude and short with her responses. Then we ordered wings, we had our bucket of beer at the table. We went on the porch for 2 minutes, when we came back in our table was cleared even though there were 3 full beers on top of one glass of beer and a pair of glasses. When we confronted the man who was clearing our table he said he thought we had left even though there were other tables full. Then, my friend went up to the bartender to inquire about the wings we were still waiting for and the bartender very rudely knew nothing about them and claimed she didn't pay for them. After arguing with the bartender about the wings the bartender pointed to a bag of wings to go that were at the end of the bar and said "I guess those are yours." The wings we ordered were medium. These wings were hot but cold in temperature from sitting around. I'm not even sure these were actually our wings and the bartender certainly wasn't sure either. read more
