I travel to Buffalo fairly frequently and look for good food while I'm here. I was excited to try Britesmith the menu looked right up my alley for pub food. The good, the white pizza was great. The bad, I feel like only a non-vegetarian could have created the crispy tofu bowl just to make people think vegetarian options are awful. The tofu bowl had ZERO flavor. I found myself picking off the roasted tomatoes from the pizza just to have some flavor in the bowl. Big fail here season your tofu folk this could be spectacular but it wasn't. read more

My top 3 favorite places in Buffalo! The vibes and service was great, would come back here every weekend because of their outdoor patio & great views. I've only tried their Korean cheese steak and it was a 10/10 & their golden hour beer is really good for girlies who don't really like beer! read more

This brewery has been open for almost 15 months. It used to be home to a blacksmith shop. It was opened by Louis Lorich in 1916. The Lorich family donated original artifacts to use at the brewery, which were hung up above the beer list (of what's on tap.) An original sign that was used at the blacksmith shop is hung over the entryway. Today I met my best friend here for lunch. It was definitely a great experience. My friend originally asked for a table in their patio/beer garden are but the wait was about 45-50 minutes. She had then said whatever is available and got us a great table near the window. It had a great view of the rapidly moving water. I asked for the Britesmith Dunkle. It was a dark beer and I enjoyed it. My friend had a cider that she enjoyed. The waiter (Brian L.) then let me try a few of the other beers. I tried the Once Around The Sun and the Cherry Pom Pom. I didn't like either. My friend let me try her Minkey Doodle. It's a sour and was great. The food didn't take long at all. This place is fairly affordable. I treated myself and ordered one of their pricier menu options. I ordered the Maine Lobster Roll. It came with fries and one or two other options. I upgraded to the garlic parm fries. They were fantastic. I see that they forgot to add on the $3.00 up charge for the garlic parm fries. (You can also pay to upgrade to tater tots and I think there is one other option too.) The waiter brought out our checks. I noticed their was a QR code on there, which meant I could have paid my bill on my own, which I did. It utilizes the Toast Takeout app. I usually don't mind giving the server my credit card or paying cash but I like trying new things so I wanted to try the pay on my phone feature. It was easy to understand and quick to utilize. I'm glad that I tried it. It automatically adds on a 20% tip so if you don't want to do that, or you want to leave a cash tip like I did, you have to keep hitting the minus button until the tip says 0%. I left him a 25% tip. The food and service were great and it was a really peaceful and relaxing way to spend my day. If you want a great beer, excellent service and a great experience over to really make your day, check out this brewery on Main Street in Williamsville. You won't regret it. read more

I raised the chicken sandwich to my mouth and Buffalo just raised the freaking bar to new heights people... Britesmith in particular with what I think is one of the best meals I have had on this earth 24 years into life... Everyone else in the fried chicken sandwich competition can just go home bc THIS was the an absolute culinary experience from start to finish that the chefs at Britesmith have perfected from the first to the last bite. This is a thick Sammy ladies and gents, and the smell that filled my car with our prompt and friendly curbside pickup was delicious to say the least. The aromas of the seasoned fries and crispy chicken illustrated the meal that my brain was imagining waiting for me when i cracked open that takeout box at home... And oh it did not disappoint, the perfectly butter basted toasted bun glistening around the most glorious crispy and thick fried chicken nestled under a blanket of a crisp and green lettuce leaf all surrounded by the guard of a massive heap of seasoned fries. BRB I'm crying as I relive my own chicken eating dream and wiping drool from my face... This is a dense sandwich, and well worth the price tag, after a tip it came to $21+ and while that may seem steep it will force me to pace my consumption. You get a perfectly toasted bun that houses the most moist and flavourful yet crispy breaded chicken with clear notes of a chefs mastery. The top bun is home to a wonderful tomato chutney style jelly sweet and tangy which compliments the bottoms buns deviled egg Dijon sauce that should really be an option to put on any food (this had EPIC flavour) The crisp lettuce leaf is green while the crunchy red onion together tie it all in... not to be forgotten is the side of bread and butter pickles that you MUST place in that Mecca we are calling a fried chicken sandwich. I'm. Telling. You. This is a NEED. A WONDER OF THE WORLD. Worth every drooling bite through and through. If you're going to do something, do it well and that is exactly what Britesmith is doing with this magical sandwich. I CANNOT wait to get in to try some more foods, sip some brews, and enjoy the sunshine on their wonderful patio! Bravo Britesmith, and see you soon! Xoxo Rach read more

Wow, I was blown away at how amazing this place was!!! I've been told to come here by numerous people but the wait was always an hour or more. I normally arrive at any restaurant hangry so I wouldn't be able to wait that long lol. I came on a Friday for lunch with a girl friend and there was a wait but it wasn't bad. We opted to sit outside because the weather was beautiful. The outdoor patio was spacious and the majority of the tables had some shade. We ordered the deviled eggs to start, the lobster pizza, and a salad. This was My first time trying deviled eggs because I'm not a big fan of mayo but they was really delicious especially with the bacon bits on top. You will also NOT regret getting the lobster pizza! I highly recommend coming here on but definitely come on a weekday! Our waiter was really nice and said there was always a wait. But the food makes it worth it. read more

We had an exceptional visit with dear friends last night at Britesmith Brewing and a lot of our great time was attributed to a fantastic server named James! This guy knows his beers, his place's IPAs and how to read a customer really well! I told James that I typically enjoy wine and what on the Britesmith Brewing menu stood out to me. We ended up with the Billie Haze and it was a perfect choice. Thanks James! Let's talk about the food at this establishment. We the BEST patatas bravas we have ever had anywhere (and we order this item at almost any restaurant that offers them!). I wish I had taken a picture of them but you will have to go there yourselves to feast your eyes on them and then enjoy! The crispness of the skins of the potatoes, the perfect balance of the Spanish chili sauce with the garlic aioli drizzled on top was pure culinary perfection! I am not exaggerating! I love being with friends who like to share beer pretzels with a good cheese sauce & grain mustard because I don't ever want to eat a full order. The ones at Britesmith are good, not amazing like the patatas bravas. I think the cheese sauce needs a little "kick" but still a worthwhile app to order. The wild mushroom and truffle oil wood fired pizza did not disappoint. Every pizza going by our table looked amazing! Lastly my friends really loved the beer steamed clams, particularly the pita bread served alongside to accompany the delicious broth. Britesmith sits along a beautiful vibrant creek. This particular day was on & off showers so we were fortunate enough to be seated right by a picturesque window and felt as if we got the best of both worlds. read more

I chose to go to Britesmith Brewing Company for dinner tonight because it's #NationalCheesesteakDay and Chef Ross offered a challenge to Buffalo to sell 70 cheesesteaks. If 70 were sold this evening, they'll put this delicious sandwich on the permanent menu. The Korean Cheesesteak sandwich (or hand held, as it's listed on the online menu via ToastTab.com) has Braised short ribs, Swiss and American cheeses, housemade kimchi, jalapenos, cucumbers, sriracha lime aioli, scallions, and sesame seeds on a buttered bun. I chose a side salad for my add-on, and that included a spring mix of greens, slivered red onion, seeded cucumber, garbanzo beans, and fire-roasted tomatoes with a delicious lemon vinaigrette dressing. I finished off my order with a crowler of BSB Dunkel, a traditional German dark lager with notes of caramel, toffee, and dark fruit. Tonight's meal was a delicious and unplanned surprise, so I truly hope Chef Ross is able to add this tasty item to the permanent menu! read more

My wife and I tried to stop in for a beer last summer. There was a light rain but the outdoor patio was still filled with people. We asked the hostess for a table outside. She scoffed and said, "Ugh, it's raining!" Well, we left and didn't try to stop back in until yesterday. Parking is a bit strange. They have a tiny parking lot. But Main St has a ton of available spots. You may have to walk a bit to enter the brewery. The building is amazing. A nice well done rustic feel. It overlooks the creek. Hostess was much nicer this time around and so was our waitress. We were seated on the outdoor patio right against the creek. There was a perfect amount of sun & shade. All four beers in our flight were great. My personal favorite was the Billie Haze. Nice juicy, hazy IPA. Drum roll...they have the best fried chicken sandwich I've ever had! Thick juicy piece of chicken. With a jaw breaking exterior crunch. So flavorful. Came with seasoned fries. Nachos were nothing special. Kind of tasteless and bland. A must top in Williamsville, assuming it isn't mobbed. read more

Arrived in town after traveling all day. Tired and very hangry. They greeted us warmly and served us quickly. Food was on the table within minutes. Fried chicken (in sandwich) was moist and crispy. Elote dip was sweet, creamy and savory in the best way. Only wish we arrived during the day to enjoy the view of the creek from our table. read more

I like to get a flight so that I can sample each of the beverages. Britesmith serves their own beer as well as some beers from other local breweries and cideries. The food offerings are good, and go well with the beverages. There's a fairly good sized patio area with its own outdoor bar and patio heaters for this chilly nights. No reservations so call ahead and get on the waitlist read more

I was in the mood for a burger and my spouse really wanted some good beer so I was hesitant when she picked Britesmith Brewing for dinner the other night. Aren't they kind of a pizza place? Well, yes and no. I saw there was a burger on the menu so I went along with it. Walking into the building for the first time you're met with a clean open space, not at all too crowded-feeling (it was a Sunday evening) despite several parties at the bar and most tables occupied. It's well spaced so you don't feel like you're on top of others as you walk through or when you're seated. The whole inside eating area overlooks Ellicott Creek too. The menu is all online so what you see on their website is up to date. The beer list has something for everyone and left our party of different tastes happy. I had the house-made Wills Pills, my spouse had a sour, and our friend had a bright pink number that she said was delicious. All the pizzas sounded great but we settled on the Welcome Back Ricotta. It came out faster than I expected, cut into sixths. Their pizza has a delightful thin bottom with a poofy crust. It's hard to find this style in the Buffalo area but it is one of my preferred styles of pizza! The hot cherry peppers packed a punch in each cheesy slice and left a kick in every bite by association. Main courses came out just as we had finished the pizza. I had the Double Smash Burger with cheddar cheese instead of the standard American-swiss. It did not disappoint. The parties were small but delicately cooked so as to not be over-done. There were grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. The bun was soft and sweet and fit the contents nicely so as to not make a mess of the large stack. The tots were extremely crispy on the outside with a soft center. They gave a great crunch and we're seriously delicious. The other two meals in the group were enjoyed but I cannot speak to them in such detail. Overall this meal was extremely enjoyable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I will be returning to Britesmith soon to try more of their pizzas and beers, though I may be falling back on their burger frequently as well. Cheers! read more

Was very very busy when I was there. Not the fault of the staff obviously but atmosphere is a little hectic on a Thursday night (it's the night out for the village). Food was not anything special. It's definitely a happening spot to meet people and drink but not necessarily dinner. read more

Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because they give Ranch with wings?! I was completely blown away! This is Buffalo man! The pizza was great. It was October we still sat outside they have heaters which kept us very warm. But next time I'll be sure to ask if they have blue cheese. read more

I was in the area to see my friends who live in Buffalo and I have not been able to stop thinking about the pizza here. I had the Welcome Back Ricotta pizza and it was the perfect amount of spicy balanced by the ricotta. I would get this pizza all the time if I could. It was also a very cool vibe, we sat outside and it was right on the water. The lights hung up looked very nice and our sever was great. read more

Great food. Right next to the creek. Great atmosphere. One of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had!

Lobstah pizza anyone?! Stacked nachos with a hit of spice?! Elote is FIRE!! This place has it all!! I have never been inside. I love the outdoor seating. Service is always friendly and great. Always welcomed with a smile and they have a good way to keep the peace while waiting for an open space. Price is reasonable and the drinks are amazing. Virgins are just as good as the adult beverages. Great place to meet up with friends. read more

Came here with a group of teachers to celebrate after the last day of school. I still cannot get over how rude the bartender was. There were several instances but the one that really stood out was when she said to another staff member, "as soon as these ladies make up their f#ckin' minds." I sent an email later that day about my concerns but never heard back- just overall so disappointed in this place. read more

This is one of the better Brew Houses here or anywhere in the Country. The staff is uber attentive, food on point and the beers are great.

I'm less impressed this time than the first time I was here. Came in last night for a Friday night cocktail with the hubby. Nikki was our bartender for most of the evening and she was great, so kudos there. I ordered a Jenny Hendrix and the hubby ordered a wheat beer but the tank ran out while she was filling the glass and he only got 3/4 of a glass so they didn't charge us for that one. We appreciated that. I asked the manager about the WiFi and he said he'd ask the owner who he said happened to be there, so he left for a few minutes and when he returned he gave me a password. After unsuccessfully trying the password several times, he went to ask one more time and never came back. It was definitely disappointing to learn that 25 days after officially opening they still don't have it sorted out. I wanted something to eat so I ordered the nachos with pork like I had last time but was informed that after 10pm all that's available is stuff from the pizza oven (pizzas, pretzels, and sausage). So I ordered the sausage and it was alright. The portion seemed a tad measly. Nice presentation though. By the end of our visit Nikki's shift had ended and she was gone so I ordered a cup of coffee from someone else behind the bar. I was looking forward to it because when I had it before they pressed it right in front of me and brought out all the stuff like cream and sugar for me to do it up the way I like it, but when it came it was just a cup of coffee with cream and sugar already in it. Again, disappointing. Hoping it was just an off night for them. read more

Great atmosphere and delicious food. Looked busy and we were nervous there would be a long wait but they got us in quick.

My friend wanted to take me out and lift my spirits. We decided to go to Britesmith. Lovely evening outside. We sat at the beer garden bar. Our first drink was served by a lovely young bartender. The things changed. We had nachos ($30 - crazy), a pizza (no plates with the pizza) and shishito peppers and 6 drinks each. No one ever asked how the food was. Joe the bartender did not want us there. Not sure if we sat in a regulars place at the bar? I could not understand how 2 gray-bearded 50 somethings could be treated so poorly and rudely by this man. We were there just under 4 hours and spent almost $350 (I could have bought 5 bottles of good bourbon)...which is a bit pricey mind you. We decided to have one last drink, and that is when Joe confronted us about how much we had to drink...not in a caring way, but we were told it was "his A$$" and proceeded to count shots and tell us we had too much. We were fine. Also, there are ubers if we were not. Joe is not a friendly person and should not be behind a bar talking to people. I have never, in all my years of sitting at bars EVER been treated this way. The brewer and another worker talked to us as well and they were great. I just cannot get past how rude someone can be to people just sitting at the corner of the bar, spending money, and trying to have a good time; hence 1 star. I probably wont be back after that experience. He really ruined what should have been a great evening. Even people next to us thanked us and said we had a great vibe. I don't understand. Epic Fail. read more

The good: BEST deviled eggs I've ever had! Also ordered the chicken sandwich with seasoned fries. Fries were REALLY good! The okay: The chicken sandwich was not the best I've ever had but it was still good. I think maybe there were TOO many flavors which didn't really allow the chicken to shine. My friend got the Maine lobster roll- too much bread, not enough lobster. She said the lobster was good but a little overpowered by the sheer amount of butter on the sandwich. The bad: this place is PRICEY. $22 for a chicken sandwich with fries. $34 for a lobster roll and tater tots. $13 for deviled eggs! $8 beers. While the food was good, it was not worth $100 for two entrees and an appetizer. If I go back it will only be for a special occasion due to the cost. I'd be interested in trying a pizza since they had many options and appeared to be brick-oven style. read more

We visited on Mother's day and scooted in at the perfect time to score ourselves a patio table without a wait! (This was around 3:30pm). There was a little bit of a breeze this particular day, so it was perfect that my mom and I were seated with a fire pit right behind us. The setting was pretty nice (the creek is empty which is kind of ugly but it didn't smell and obviously it is not the restaurant's fault, just an observation) and the staff was friendly, but the food took a little long to come out. The appetizer we ordered, actually came out last when we thought they would be first as an appetizer. Between the five of us we ordered three pizzas, a burger, fries and the aforementioned beet deviled eggs. The pizzas were all good, even the gluten free one... The taste and texture were not off-putting to a person who does not need to eat gf. The fries had a bbq-esque seasoning sprinkled on them and we're pretty good. The beet pickled deviled eggs were actually my favorite as they are not something I have ever seen on a menu before and I am a HUGE fan of beet pickled eggs in general. The bathroom was clean and smelled good... No fear of peeing here! Haha read more

Britesmith is a beautifully designed restaurant and brewery. The building is set along the creek for a picturesque view. The inside area is a little cramped when it's busy, especially walking through the bar to get your table. The outdoor area is large, with a huge bar and fire pits. You can tell money was no object when they built this. Building and service 5 stars and food 3 stars for an average rating of 4. On our visit, I ordered the very popular fried chicken sandwich with the parmasean garlic tater tots ($18). I also ordered seasoned fries for the table. We also each had a beer. I was really looking forward to the sandwich because if it's unique toppings of egg yolk spread and tomato jam. It was okay but nothing to get excited about. The bun was drenched in butter and then grilled. The chicken itself was crispy but lacked flavor. The toppings were good but also didn't pack the punch I thought they would. Popeyes is still number one with their crunchy, flavorful chicken. The tater tots had good flavor but were soggy. Soggy tater tots make me sad. The seasoned fries were good and crispy, but that was the cheapest thing we bought at $5 for a side. Beer was in the $7 and up range like many of the local breweries. Nice ambiance for a drink but probably not a place I'd order food at regularly. read more

My friend and I went to check out the historic brewery located in the heart of Williamsville that recently opened. The concept is great, but the overall size of the bar area was way to narrow and could have used more tables in their dining area. The beer and my friends cider was average nothing spectacular that stood out.. The open kitchen concept was unique for a brewery and for a small space was impressed with their larger outside patio area. My advice if you plan to check it out wait awhile.... read more
