This place has it all-great atmosphere as you're right next to Ellicott Creek and this place has an amazing outdoor area perfect when the weather is good. Service was excellent. Always there when we needed them and quick to bring back our drinks. Pizza was really, really good. Almost the star of the show if it wasn't for the beer. Had the IPA and the Wit- phenomenal! One of my favorite breweries in Western NY. I can't wait to come back. read more

This review is long over due, but better late than never, right? I was in town for a few days and a few coworkers and I planned to grab dinner here one night. Why this place? Well, they were on the list of Yelp Buffalo's top places to eat in 2025, so of course we had to give them a try. The space itself is really beautiful. Nestled alongside a river with a cabinesque vibe. Stone exterior, with wood floors, exposed brick, and large fermentation tanks on the interior. It's really quite cozy. As for food, our table shared one of their tasty dips - the elote one to be exact. Elote is delicious on its own, but in dip form with pickled red onions, fire! I could eat an entire bucket of this stuff. When it came to my main course I ordered what I call the basic girl dinner, a caesar salad and fries... but here I went with the tater tots because I was told they are heavenly. My salad was a good portion size and exactly what you want when you order a caesar. As for the tots, the amount you get is insane and they were in fact, fried to a crispy perfection. They definitely hit the spot. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and I can see why Yelpers in Buffalo rate this spot so high. If I lived nearby I would definitely be a frequent flyer. read more

Great place to come if you're looking for pizza and drinks. The place is swarming with people, but you still have enough personal space to be comfortable. Would definitely recommend trying this place out. Pizza- thin crust pizza was delicious Deviled eggs- appetizer was really good Double smash burger- OMG this burger is really good and the fries were plentiful. Wings- sauce was really good. Just wish the wings were cook a bit longer, because the wings were a little tough read more

Cool place to drink food is not bad. But def be careful. I ordered a French onion and they used stale croutons. And it tasted like cardboard. Stuffed peppers weren't bad tho. But the bartenders were super sweet and always good vibes when in there. read more

Came here for dinner the other night and I realized I had never left a review after coming here before. So this one will make up for all the other nights too. This spot has always been a favorite of mine. It really makes the one end of Main Street in Williamsville. We started out with the pretzels and elote dip. The chips for the elote were great too and the dip was a great way to start the meal. The pretzels were soft and chewy and I really enjoyed the mustard they used. I couldn't decide on the main part of my dinner and kept going back between a pizza and a burger. Ended up going with the Nashville Hot Chicken pizza and I was very happy with the choice. The pizza had some heat but nothing too crazy. The wood fire pizza itself was cooked perfectly. Very good and I will definitely be back for more of their pizzas. I also ended up getting a piece of cheesecake to take home and it was great! Very sweet and creamy. I have never seen a rectangle piece of cheesecake before, but maybe that's the secret to why it was so good. We will definitely be back for more here. We love coming here with friends and it is a good spot for dinner or a double date. read more

Britesmith is absolutely lovely. Better in the inner when you can hang at the outside bar, but the staff, food and service is amazing year round. Thursdays during the summer, with music on main at other bars, the crowd here tends to be on the younger end and can get a little rowdy later in the evening, so come before 8 for dinner. read more

Stopped for lunch on a Saturday with my husband. The place was packed with a nice mix of customers - we had stopped for a beer once before on a Friday night and felt like it was a much younger crowd. I ordered a flight to try several of their brews and liked each of the ones I sampled. We split the Meatstreet pizza and Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich. The pizza dough was fantastic and the combo of the salty meats and chili-honey was delicious. The Chicken was also wonderful-I enjoyed the tomato jam and egg salad, which was really more of a thicker, eggy mayo. Even though it was crowded, our food was quickly served and piping hot. Our server was friendly, attentive, and we never felt rushed. I'd definitely go again - maybe try brunch with the girls, or the patio in the summer read more

Got the fried chicken burger and honestly it was pretty different from any other place you may go. It had a sweet topping and the chicken battered was flavorful but the chicken itself wasn't. The tater tots were really good and very crispy. Got their flagship beer and it wasn't bad either. The service was amazing and the vibes of the place was peak. Overall, a great experience and would come back again to try the double smash burger because I heard that was amazing. read more

I've had good food here and okay food here. Recently I came and had the spicy margarita, cinnamon roll, breakfast sandwich and tater tots. You can't beat the house made ranch here, it's top tier. Cinnamon roll was huge and tasty, our group split one. The breakfast sandwich was so so for me. I could have done without the thick pork belly and I mostly removed it. Overall a big place with lots of seating. Outside is nice in the summer. Service was very good and our server was very attentive. read more

We went here for brunch and really enjoyed it. I loved my sour which was the dream island. I also really enjoyed the double smash burger. The special sauce had great flavor. My friend got the breakfast burrito and let me try it and it was also good. Our waiter was very nice and helpful when asked for recommendations on the menu. If in the area I would absolutely go again. read more

Came here during a Music on Main night and they were absolutely packed. Like good luck getting from your table to the restroom type packed. I sat outside with friends to enjoy food and drinks, and I ordered the wild mushroom pizza which was delicious, and I took home leftovers. I also ordered two Smitty's Quench beers and enjoyed them. Service was good. Our waitress checked on us occasionally and food came out quick. Overall I'd come back, but not during Music on Main. read more

The gluten free pizza was good, not great. The crust was not very crispy which I would have preferred. This felt more like a cheese pizza than a classic basil, tomato and mozzarella pizza. At least the crust wasn't made of cauliflower which is a plus for me. The sandwich was eaten by my dinner partner and she enjoyed it very much. We sat outside and it was enjoyable for that main reason. I had an Arnold Palmer (non-alcoholic) which was fine - nothing special. They did offer gluten-free beer but not also nonalcoholic / unfortunately I need both. They do offer a great brand of gluten free beer though - if you're looking for that. This is a Brewery with basic bar food with some interesting salad offerings, I was just more in the mood for pizza. If they had more gluten free appetizers I would have ordered that instead. read more

So many different beers to try. Top quality. Friendly Proffesional workers. I went with a group of girlfriends!!!!

4/26/2024: Packed. There was only 2, or maybe 3 Servers outside for all the tables here (17-18 with people). Definitely understaffed. It took 8 minutes for a server to even come to our table after we were sat, another 7 for our drinks, 30 more minutes for our appetizers, and then another 30 minutes for our food. The entire dining experience was about 2 very long hours. Elote 10/10 Mostly sweet with a little heat. It was delicious, but I think $15 is very extreme. A whole bag of corn at the store is only $1-2. Korean Cheesesteak 10/10 Extra aioli , jalapeños on the side The short rib flavor was so so good. Juicy. And greasy too. You don't taste he cucumber too much but that and the kimchi adds another texture and a tiny crunch. The aioli is delicious. Not spicy at all. Fries had a great outside crunch and soft inside. Cooked perfect. Seasoned wonderfully. Special: Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza 9/10 Really good pizza. The pickled red onion was interesting, added some sweetness to it. There was no chive though. I got a little peek at the Maine lobster roll as it passed our table, it looked very lobstery, which is a good thing! Usually lobster rolls look very salad-y, this one looked like a lot of lobster pieces. Probably a good bang for your buck? read more

This place is great. It is loud when it's busy so maybe not perfect for a quiet date night, but perfect if you have little ones! The food, drinks and service were great. We loved it. We'll be back! Go Bills! *forgot to mention that we had a party of 8 and it was BUSY! We went to have a drink next door to wait and the host chases us down because they had a table for us:). read more

Finally got to try Britesmith and it did not disappoint! We entered and were immediately greeted by the bartender and an industrial type of ambience. The bartender very kindly directed to a host that was outside in order to be seated (in which we were offered indoors or outdoors - chose outside due to the great weather!). The outdoor area is really nice, ample seating, heaters (if needed), and lighting for the nighttime. I don't remember our waiters name but he was nice and made sure we got our drinks refilled. My friend ordered the fried chicken sandwich, which had unique toppings such as a tomato jam and egg salad. He said it was great. I tried a French fry and the seasoning was nice too and not overwhelming. I ordered the white pizza and it was easily one of the best pizzas I ever had. I normally don't like tomatoes on my pizza but I ordered the pizza as-is to try them and I ate them happily. They were fire roasted and complimented the pizza perfectly. Me and my friend agreed we would happily come back here to eat again! read more

Used to like this pub but on Sunday they tried to overcharge me $22 on a $97 bill. I read the itemized receipt on paper, which was fine. Then I was asked to place my credit card in the device held by the server, adding the tip. It's a good thing I checked the total on the screen, because it was $22 more than the paper receipt. I asked why, and the server whisked the device away and returned several minutes later, saying that it was now correct. No apology or explanation. Also, take a look at the gluten-free pizza I was served -- several inches of crust surrounding a target-sized area with an ultra-thin layer of toppings. I've had it there before and it was more normally proportioned. The crust was also hard, under-cooked, and chewy. Other items were fine -- drinks, wings, mac & cheese. However, the billing experience and the gluten-free "pizza" will make me think twice about returning. read more

I had an amazing time here. Going in I didn't know what to expect but the small bites to the larger meals they have available made it a great place for networking or just to have a good night out on the town. Service was attentive and friendly which made time for waiting on the food fly by. Overall this establishment met my expectations for a nice drinking sit down location . In the Summer they offer more of a party atmosphere with the back patio being available with an outside bar right next to the river read more

Very friendly people. Service was great. Food was very high quality. It was Father's Day and they were very accommodating.

Great vibe at Britesmith. The Hazy IPA is tasty tasty. Love the outdoor patio with some covered areas near the bar, 4-top high seat tables with umbrellas elsewhere. Patio heaters galore for those cooler days. Great people watching. Slants to a younger crowd. read more

I've been here multiple times and it's always been enjoyable. This night was no exception. The Elote dip was excellent. The Caesar salad was big enough to share and the Lobster roll was delicious. We were too full for dessert but they have Affogato which I love. Service was great and it was busy as usual. Parking is not easy as it's street or after 5pm across the street is available. I love sitting by the window which overlooks the creek. read more

It was a great night to sit in their outdoor space. We had a larger group of people and got multiple kinds of pizza to share and they were pretty good! The croutons on their Caesar salad were to die for! We had the best waitress I think I've had anywhere in a long time! She was very sweet,smiley and full of life! It was a great first experience here. read more

Have been here a few times now, all for post-work drinks and dinner. The outdoor patio is perfect for summer evenings, although its sometimes a little bit of a wait to get an actual table. Cool industrial vibes inside when seating isn't available outside. Although they are a brewery, I feel like I've usually gotten wine or one of their cocktails instead. Spicy marg, espresso martini, old fashioned all were tasty. Foodwise, the top items I've ordered have been the onion dip and chips, the white pizza, the Lobsta pizza, and the smash burger. Never a bad server have I encountered! Anywhere on main street in Williamsville feels tough to find a parking spot - the lot behind the library usually has lots of spots available and is a quick walk to Britesmith! read more

Met some friends Sat evening here at 5:30 pm for dinner. I was worried about parking but fortunately I was able to park directly across the street on Main Street. When we got in there , It was great, only about a 10 minute wait. We were on the patio outside and the weather was perfect... a slight breeze and shaded. We started with the warm soft pretzel nuggets with cheese and hot mustard dips. Yummmm!!! I had ordered the chilled lobster roll as my entree and it was amazing! Soooo worth it...!!!! My friends ordered pizzas... they were a little bit bigger than a personal size pizza . You'll take some home. I did notice the average age there was between 25 & 45. It was so nice not to have children running around. ( there were a few well behaved older kids ) definitely an adult venue... the music wasn't loud nor obnoxious... you can actually have a conversation... I really enjoyed myself here... read more

Great location! Sat outside under a patio umbrella for lunch. Beautiful view of the creek. Food was great and so was the service.

Stopped by in between lunch and dinner. The place had a nice amount of people eating at tables and hanging at the bar. The location next to the creek is lovely. We got lucky but, I imagine parking could be a problem at peak times. The young server was very nice, she offered paper menus as she probably assumed we weren't the type to scan codes and she was correct. The beer seemed exceptionally cold! We split a cauliflower app and a pizza. The cauliflower was perfectly cooked and came with a nice spicy chile sauce. The wood grilled pizza was tasty and had a nice amount of mushrooms. The whole experience was very nice. As we were leaving, we looked up and thought someone should really dust around the lights and windows. Haven't seen that many cobwebs since I watched an episode of the Munsters! read more

Other than the great server, the wait time and food were not very good. - We waited an hour for a table when it was quoted at 30 minutes - Wings tasted previously frozen and small and worst of all, cold - Pizza was nothing like it used to be - small, cold and tasteless. And they brought the wrong pizza. Not even close to the brick over pizza you get in NYC or at il forno Napoli on sweet home road. If you are in the game for true brick oven Naples style pizza, then truly get in the game. - gluten free pizza - awful , cold, tasteless with little sauce We really like this place, great patio and great service. Will give it another shot, but they need to do better! read more

Tried to go to the patio with my dog in a stroller and the patios not dog friendly. He's in a stroller , sleeping and more well behaved than the kids running around. Very disappointing as most Williamsville patios are dog friendly. read more

They are aging here. The place is quaint and theh have a great patio. They have a great gluten free pizza for those of us that need to eat gluten free and the corn dip is perfect!!!! They have wonderful drinks amd the staff is always friendly. They do get busy so be prepared to wait but it is worth the wait. Have a drink at the bar and maybe the corn dip and wait for the table. Enjoy it!!! I did. read more

Good food, reasonable pricing. The place was packed for late on a Thursday night. To get to a table for dinner we had to push dozens of people out of the way to get through the bar area.... Portions were either huge or too small, we had two salads and they were not equal. The edamame though was delicious! Personal pet peeve - I hate QR codes for menus. It's tacky. It's not the same as looking over a menu. read more

Nice brewery restaurant. During the day, nice view along the creek/river. Great selection of homemade beers, and a variety! They actually had several different styles, including a dark ale, stouts, IPA, kolsch, lagers, red ales, flavored brown ale, etc. The food was good too, this is not a brewery that happens to throw together some pizza or fried sliders, they actually have food worthy as a destination even if you arent drinking the beer. I have been twice in the last nine months and my positive review is consistent. Worth a trip if in Buffalo airport area. read more

The service was great and the atmosphere is really nice especially with the patio. My only feedback is the price for their food. It was $26 for a chicken Caesar salad. The grilled chicken just didn't seem fresh and worth the additional charge. Their warm pretzels bites seemed very cheap "heat up in the microwave" type. It was $10 for a side of fries and $2 for a side of ranch. Overall great experience, I would just say if you are going with a group expect to pay an average of $50 a person and that includes only 1 alcoholic beverage. read more

Visited for brunch Saturday morning around 11:30, wasn't busy when we arrived, but pretty busy by the time we left. Let me just tell you, everything was delicious, from the espresso martinis onward. The deviled eggs were amazing; so good, we ordered 2 more plates for the table to share. The Warm Main Lobster Roll and Fried Chicken Sandwich were both excellent. I can't wait to go back. read more

I have been coming to britesmith for a few years now. I have always had good experiences here. Food is always consistent and easy to share. The drink selection is always great, cocktails are well crafted with seasonal options. It does get very busy here on weekends and events like games, so be weary that you may be on a wait list, although having a drink or two at the bar isn't a bad way to start your evening. Lots of seating both upstairs and downstairs, and a separate outside dining area with outside bar for those warm summer nights which is fun. They've had live performances here some nights too which is also fun. Overall, a great place to go if you're looking for some well made handhelds, salads and shareables & drinks. read more

Cool atmosphere, great food, excellent service! Four of us came here for lunch on a weekday, & it was busy! We were seated immediately upstairs, so we had a great view of everyone's food below us. All the food was so good that we returned for dinner the following week! Lunch: Deviled Eggs - a must get for a shared starter, a table fave! Mac & cheese - perfectly creamy & cheesy, not heavy, a repeat for sure Burrata Salad w/wood fired pita - a daily special, so yummy! The pita made me want to try the falafel sammich next time. Smashburger w/fries - great burger, not giant, with pickles on the side & good seasoned fries. House salad w/beef cheek - a huge house salad w/lots of greens, garbanzos, roasted cherry tomatoes, & a very generous amount of delicious & tender beef cheek, with a lemony vinaigrette. An excellent salad! Tots - always a winner! Dinner: Deviled Eggs - again, bc they're so good! Elote Dip - blazing hot, sizzling in a cast iron pan - super yummy corn-y, cotija-cheesy dip w/chips. Yum! House Salad - a shareable size, with a light lemony vinaigrette Wedge Salad - a huge iceberg wedge, blue cheese, roasted cherry tomatoes & bacon bits Fried Chicken Sandwich - omg sooo good! Such a lightly battered huge piece of chicken, light bun, served with seasoned fries. Another table favorite! Meat Street pizza - sausage, pepperoni, hot honey on their soft & chewy crust, woodfired. An excellent pizza! Sticky Toffee Pudding - a little too sweet for my taste, but maybe it just needed ice cream on top... John was our warm & friendly server both times we were there. Our food and drinks came out fast, and we were never left waiting for to go boxes or the check. He was extra busy with a large party & multiple tables when we came for dinner, & he still was spot on & excellent with us. A great experience all around, both times! My only tiny groan is their smallish parking lot. But that won't stop any of us from coming back yet again. We'll just time it so we don't arrive at peak lunch or dinner hour! read more

Very good place if you're looking to share some bites and drinks with family or friends. All the food is good and the pizza and Appetizer menu makes it perfect to share. The only complaint I have was service was pretty slow. Still overall all a good restaurant. read more

Have visited britesmith a few times usually to meet a friend for a meal when I'm in town! Has definitely added to the vibrance of Main Street Williamsville in terms of dining. Have tried a variety of meals here and always find myself craving the elote. While they did try outside the box with elote pizza during a May visit I popped in, it just wasn't quite the same, but I can appreciate fun and seasonal, unique dishes. They have downstairs and upstairs seating an inside bar and a gorgeous patio out back with a bar for those warm summer days and nights overlooking the creek and waterfall. The parking lot is small but there's a free lot behind the library and street parking as well. read more

Never a bad experience at Britesmith! A large venue that is always busy, yet still open and not overcrowded. The staff is always on top of the details and happy to guide you through your options. The pizzas here are fantastic! A true stone oven and there is no question about it when you take a bite. I've been here almost every time I'm in the area and it never fails to impress. Yes, you do pay a little extra due to location and quality, but it's well worth it! Looking for a quick stop for a drink? I couldn't name a better stop in williamsville! If you're feeling like having a few this is a great bar hop spot in the summer. Great food, great drinks, great service! read more

We stopped into Britesmith late on a Saturday night during the NFL playoffs. The place was packed, and we waited about 20 minutes for a table. While we waited, we looked at the menu so we knew what we wanted to get. We ordered the garlic parm fries, a wood-fired pizza, and pretzel bites. The wild mushroom pizza was FANTASTIC, best thing on the menu, and it came to the table quickly in spite of the crowded restaurant. The fries were crisp, but they weren't as garlicky or parm-y as I would have liked. The pretzel bites were good. The beer/cheese sauce was particularly tasty, and that helped the fries, too. There were a lot of people watching the football game, lots of people standing near tables (not seated at them, which I found odd), but overall it was a pleasant atmosphere. There is a big microbrew selection of beer and cider, too, which seems to be a draw for the place. read more
