One of our favorite places in all of Chautauqua County! The play on "group therapy" is an apt name for a place where groups can enjoy a bounty of comfort food together. Now when you read "comfort food," you may be expecting a bunch of unhealthy junk food... And don't get me wrong, they have that... But Group Ther-Happy features plenty of healthy options on their menu too. Some of our favorites on their menu are their pizzas. If we want pizza, but we want to don't want to be TOO unhealthy about it, we order from Group Ther-Happy. Specifically, we often order their cauliflower crust! Now don't you stick your nose up at that... Their cauliflower crust is delicious and you honestly wouldn't even know it's cauliflower if it didn't say so on the menu. The Buffalo Chicken Wing pizza is one of the best (if not THE best) in the entire county--no matter what kind of crust you get it on. Our other favorites come from their appetizer (or "Shareables") menu: Nachos and Pickles w/ a Punch! We've been meaning to try their burgers because they sound great, but we haven't been able to pull ourselves away from our favorites yet. I would post pics, but I ate everything before I thought to write a review. Sorry, folks. ‍ read more

Very disappointed in the service. It was fall fest and very busy. We were patient. Sat ourselves, got our own drinks. Waited forever for someone to take our order. We did tell them we wanted food. Finally got up to give someone our order. Then waited again forever. Mind you at this point it's no longer busy. Find out they burned our food, apologized. Finally our food comes out. Then again... no one. We had to pay our bill at the bar. They were too busy waiting on a big party in the corner and ignored pretty much everyone else outside. I was very disappointed. Won't be going back anytime soon. No other options in that area other than Stella which wasn't open yet. read more

I walked in and was warmly greeted by someone at the bar telling me where to sit. I chose to sit at the bar. I waited a moment before being helped but once I got my drink in the service was great. Really fun staff who made you feel welcome. I ordered a lot of food and it all hit the spot. The bacon jam on the burger was a nice compliment to the beer cheese. It has a fun rock and roll theme to it and seems like a good hangout spot when the time is right. I splurged and got a dessert and the Crème brûlée was the perfect topper to a great meal. If you are in the area I would highly recommend stopping for a Group Therapy Session read more

Amazing atmosphere and great service! The sever was attentive and food was great! I'd ask for the specials!

We used to really like it here. The server gave me more one than I ordered and charged me for it. Food was mediocre. Not returning any time soon. read more

We showed up here on a Saturday night, it looked fun and a nice place to eat and drink. Unfortunately after sitting down come to find out there was hardly any food. Only pizza and wings. The pizza is $22 and wings are $24 a dozen. I find that to be very expensive. They were having live music this night and you would think management would plan ahead to have enough food to fulfill their menu. We ended up leaving and going to another establishment that had a full menu. read more

Well after seeing Calzones on the online menu here and on the website the qife and I figured we would go have a bowl of French Onion soup and a Calzone. After setting down we were informed they no longer served Calzones. So we ordered a bowl of the French onion soup and a an order of boneless wings. Well the soup was good and hot an d they brought the wings out to get cold while we had the soup. Door was left open in late October and it was cool in there and you could smell the cigarette smoke from out side. We won't be back read more

Really cool little place with unique style, an outdoor seating area, great art, and great music selection. AMAZING WINGS! Great bartenders! Very nice waitress even though she has no clue what's going on. Wednesday was wing night which I highly recommend if you like wings and have nothing else to do that night. Service was BEYOND SLOW! From getting there, seating ourselves ,waiting 20 minutes to get even acknowledged, waiting 5 minutes to get my water, waiting 30 minutes to get our food and drink, waiting THE ENTIRE meal for a drink refill, asking for a box and check then watching our waitress take multiple other orders and forget about us, and then finally remember us and bring our check and box we were there an hour and a half all together. I was very conscious of our time because we prebooked movie tickets and made mention to the waitress we had a movie to get to so we wanted to order our meal right away. They weren't even busy. They were short staffed with waitresses even though it wasn't slammed. I think our waitress was new. Dogs are allowed into the bar. The patio smelled like dog pee and the place has big open doors wafting it in :( The pee smell was so bad a woman got up from a table to get a pitcher of water to dump on it. On that note you have no clue who staff and customers are. I saw at least 4 people hanging out there go behind the bar. Very confusing! I'll give them another try when I'm not in a hurry to get somewhere. I want to love this place. Pricy, but good food. read more

Service was beyond horrible. Had reservations and were seated outside. We had to go to the bar to order drinks because no one came to the table. Then we had to go back for ice as our drink was served in a can without a glass or ice. We left ( as did other tables) because no one ever came to take our order. The table next to us said they had been there for 2 hours and never received their food. Probably the worst dining experience in the past decade. It was a stretch to give this one star! read more

The food was really good. The service was horrible. It took an hour to order and an hour to get our food. Had to go to the bar to get our drinks. read more

Love wedge salad & the colossal pretzel! Can't wait to dine inI can walk from my new home!! read more

What fun! Great service (loved Rachel 's sense of humor) good food, and enjoyable atmosphere. I'll be back!

This has been one of our go to places while at our cottage . However, this will be the last visit as the service was horrible. Waited 15 minutes for our drinks to be served and another 1/2 hour plus for food that was sub par. Guess this place has grown to big to handle the people it now gets. Really sad! read more

Great food, great outdoor patio, great music. Loved our waitress Rachel. She was very funny and a joy to be around.

I met a friend for lunch today and we chose Group Ther-Happy based on all the great Yelp reviews and the menu. We ordered two pizzas - 10" Happy Fun-Guy (mushrooms, carmelized onions, balsamic reductions, fresh greens) and 10" Stuffed Pepper (sweet sausage, banana pepper) - and a tower of sriracha onion rings with a side of ginger miso dipping sauce. The rings were absolutely delicious - crispy and spicy - and paired delightfully with the sauce. Both pizzas were great but we both agreed the Happy Fun-Guy was a complete knock-out. Service was very attentive and we'll be happy to return when we're in the area again! read more

What happens when you remodel a bar, change the vibe and bring in some really damn good food?? You need Group Ther-happy!! Excellent menu, brick oven thin pizzas, and a Bavarian pretzel from the depths of a hidden subconscious!!! Let the cocktails ease your anxiety, and the food settle your soul. The Fun Guy pizza was absolutely delicious, the stuffed peppers were fresh, and that pretzel! Great service and a must stop!! read more

I do not usually post bad reviews, but in this case I felt compelled to. We ordered the grilled cheese wedge, small cheese pizza, and a burger. These small and not very tasty plates were $34. The food is served on paper plates. The grilled cheese came with chips. By chips I mean the server brought over a variety box of chips and asked what we wanted. The cheetos were the beat part of the meal. The $15 burger was worth about $6. They are on a limited menu which I understand due to circumstances, but this was sad. Definitely will never come back here. read more

If you're not a regular you don't get good service. You're ignored for the most part while they chat with friends and regulars. Over priced but good food. Pretzel was great and wings were too. read more

We accidentally found this amazing restaurant. We enjoyed our Sunday morning breakfast SO MUCH. We had breakfast pizza, amazing baileys French toast and so much more. The service was phenomenal. The food was to die for. We sat outside at comfortable tables in the sunshine under umbrellas. Forgot to mention the Bloody Mary's! read more

Super tasty food. The Mac and cheese is so creamy and hardy. The giant pretzel is buttery and crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle. Highly recommend. Great flavor on the shrimp tacos service was suuuuuper slow. We went for lunch and it took an hour and a half and there was only 1 other table and a person eating at the bar. read more

I was served my food on a paper plate with plastic silverware. The food was severely overpriced for the quality and size that was served. Their menu had little to no variety. The staff seemed unmotivated and lazy. You could see boxes everywhere along with random things in a corner with inside seating. I would not recommend this place for the food. The best thing we had was the water. read more

We were craving pizza and wings and didn't want to do the typical take out places. We wanted to get out of the house so after looking online we found this place and said ok let's give it a try!..service was ok, food was hot, pizza was a 6.5 on barstool scale so ok pizza. Wings were good can't complain about the taste but the price was ridiculous!!!! Menu stated market price..ok I work in food service I know the price of a box of wings I order them every week I know what they are per lbs. so I'm figuring at most 17 18 bucks for a order! Boy was I wrong!!!! They are charging 26 dollars for and order of wings!!!! So Byers be ware if it say market price some places just make up their own price!!! Ripped offfff!!! read more

Great service, nice atmosphere and outside seating! We got the mussels which were delicious! We also got hot wings and salt and vinegar wings. Both were delicious! Definitely would recommend this place! read more

Awesome wings! Hugh pretzel w excellent beer cheese! Good service! We had hot wings, extra crispy. Will be back

This place is awesome. I highly recommend it! Food is awesome, service is good, and everyone is super friendly. The newest gem of downtown Lakewood. read more

Great atmosphere...very good live music, excellent wood fired pizza...relatively new and certainly going in the right direction!! Friendly service... read more

Small indoor dining area, but large outdoor dining area. We sat inside due to inclement weather. The menu choices were small in number, but unique. Our server was very good at her job; very informative, friendly, and attentive. The place has a cool looking decor. The staff was friendly. The beer choices were good and numerous. Very clean and friendly. We will go back when we can sit outside! read more

What an awesome place! Had pizza and wings...absolutely delicious!! Beautifully designed, very comfortable and very friendly atmosphere. Definitely coming back without a doubt! Great staff and service. It's a real gem! read more

This place is awesome. This place is absolutely one of the coolest places to come with some friends, cornhole and giant Connect 4 outside, plenty of outside seating, really cool atmosphere on the inside. I will say, the service is not great, this place is pretty severely understaffed so prepare to wait for a WHILE. Luckily they provide things for you to do, but this is the only reason this place doesn't grab 5 stars from me. Food took more than an hour to arrive, however we did arrive at a busy time. If the owners or managers read these reviews, HIRE MORE STAFF!! They work super hard, y'all just need more servers!!! The food is excellent, the presentation of the food is also excellent. Everyone at my table very much enjoyed their experience. I can tell that the wait had to be due to the fact that they were understaffed as the food was at the perfect temperature, not at all cold. This place was awesome and my friends and I had a great experience but don't come if you're looking for a quick bite because this place, while worth it, is a major time investment. read more

It's hard to believe this was once a dump called "Yesterday's". Looks like a completely different building. They did a fantastic job! Buffalo chicken sandwich was ok. Service was good. Definitely worth a try if you ever go back to Lakewood, NY read more

As visitors from Ohio and Pa, couldn't ask for a better place to find. Staff and customers were welcoming. Food and drinks excellent.

Traveling from Saratoga Springs, NY to midwest-Ohio, stopping in Jamestown to spend the night. We were looking for outdoor seating and ended out here. It was exactly what we needed. Relaxed atmosphere and delicious nachos. Husband says they have a nice selection of local craft beers. All in all, it was a great experience. read more

Frankly, they get two stars because of Covid. I get that take out calls are increasing, but the service was horrible. A simple salad and sandwich took forever on an evening with less than 50 people. It's lettuce, not a seven course meal at a Michelin Restaurant. The cook staff must not be too bright because the grill was filthy, burned bits on a grilled sandwich is not a gourmet touch. It was clear just as the other reviewer stated, that the regulars from town get preference. Seems to be the only game in an overrated town. Gordon Ramsey would skewer this place. read more

I had went here for the first time not too long ago with my step mom, it was a excellent atmosphere, Their food was super good and their drinks as well. The workers were all friendly and thanked us for coming. I will definitely recommend this to anyone read more

Food is never the same twice. Always under cooked or over cooked. Can hear the kitchen staff cursing in the back. Only plus is most of the bartenders seem to know what they are doing. Use to be a good place to eat, has gone down last 2-3 months. read more

Amazing food. The pretzel is enough for a family to share. Mindy was excellent; she treated us like a member of the family. Service was the best we have had while on vacation. read more

I've been there about 3 times but haven't been in quite a while. The food has always been pretty good but I have always felt out of place there. The other night we went to give it another try and we walked in not knowing whether we sat ourselves or we would be seated by a server. We stood near the door for at least 5 minutes without a hello of any sort. One waitress made eye contact with me and I smiled. No one said, "hey, go ahead and seat yourselves" or "I'll be with you in a moment". They didn't acknowledge our existence. I went to the bar to ask if we should seat ourselves and he didn't acknowledge me either. We left. I feel like if you're not a regular or of a "certain type of customer", they don't care if you're there. We won't be trying it again. read more
