Olivia was an amazing bartender very attentive to the crowd her and Andrijana made my visit great looking forward to seeing them again. shrimp tacos was on point! read more

Great service and a very cool interior. Parking in the back was a bonus. I was unimpressed with the food. I had the Buffalo wrap and cheese curds. Fairly priced but I was expecting more in terms of taste and quality. Wouldn't get the curds again but the wrap was ok. I like the seating, wide variety for different groups and events Music was blasting with about 7 people in the bar, manager on duty has to read the room better with that, not a huge deal but it takes away from my experience. Don't come here to eat lunch. Just get hammered with the boys. read more

I crave a giant burger once or twice a month and this is one of the places I go to satisfy that. The servers are always incredibly kind. Prices are pretty decent for what they are. While I go here when I want a burger in general, I have yet to be like "oh wow I need a Harry Buffalo burger specifically" (does that make sense???) I'm sure on a return visit I may find a usual and bump up its rating a tad. I wish there was just a bit more life inside on a non sports night. read more

My husband and I had a date night, and we decided on Harry Buffalo. We were seated at cozy booth. Our server was Olivia R. She was very pleasant and efficient ! Our food came perfectly cooked and was Delicious ! Our server never let our drinks run empty. She cleared the table and let us enjoy our drinks and some music ! read more

Good service and decent bar food. They have smash burgers which I love so this is the local spot if you don't want a thick cut burger!! Fries and god and even the sweet potato fries are dusted with powdered sugar read more

Didn't even get a chance to try the food. Went into order to go for 8 people family gathering. Was completely ignored by 3 bartenders. They would not even make eye contact or acknowledge me as I stood at the bar, clear to see. After 7/8 minutes...I left. They were not busy at the restaurant. 2 females one male early Friday evening. read more

Awesome place, pizza was homemade tasting. Hamburger was tasty and juicy, fries were nicely seasoned. This place was the only place we could find open till 12a and it was so rewarding. Will definitely be the place to visit next time we're in Cleveland again! read more

Covid19 has dashed any hope of watching sports. The Buff was our friend group meeting place for any sporting event that warranted a meetup. One day we will be back to cheer on our teams. I am not a good cook and live alone so I have been ordering a lot of take out during quarantine. The chicken is my go-to but I have been trying to eat healthier so I do the Cajun Bowl or Sante Fe Salad. Happy to hear bars are opening back up and I can sit at a bar, have an order of wings and wash it all down with a cold one. read more

Food was good. Service was slow and lackluster, especially for a Thursday night. Asked for a Malibu Bay Breeze add pineapple. Was told "we don't have those, we only have White Claws". As a restaurant with a bar, it was odd hearing they didn't keep basics like Malibu, Tito's, gin, assorted juices etc. but whatever, I just brushed it off. Ordered my food and it took 20 minutes. The server who brought my food was the one who offered to refill my drink. As I was eating, I saw what looked to be off duty employees or regulars drinking Tito's and serving customers shots. So then in my head, I said "hmm, they do have regular liquor". Guess they just didn't want to serve me. Off the strength of that, I won't be back read more

This was my first experience with Harry Buffalo so I called the restaurant in advance about my order and got the A-Okay to substitute a side so I went ahead and placed our order on UberEats. Unfortunately my order did not come as I had requested. When you worked all day, just got home and took your pants off so no leaving the house, you're tired and hungry, well, this experience was a disappointing one. I called the restaurant to see what happened and it turns out the lady I originally spoke with was not aware of the new rules where you can't substitute the waffle fries. Everyone I spoke with was very patient, friendly, and you could tell they felt bad and wanted to make things right. I would definitely give them 5 stars for how they handled the situation. I am however going to go with 3 stars because I did not really care for the food. I will order from them in the future though, I'd like to give them another shot and try one of their salads. read more

Our server Katie was awesome and made our dinner here with friends unforgettable! We also enjoyed our food. I had the boom boom shrimp tacos which were great. Drinks too were great. Will be back! read more

This is a nice place, nice vibe, good service. Waiters are attentive. I really like their chicken sandwiches.

My wife went out with her co-workers here and I asked her to bring me some take-out for dinner Friday night. When she got home, she promptly presented me the fish n chips that I requested. Also, she brought a few of her leftovers along. Note: this review is being written from a takeout perspective and not a sit-down perspective. Loaded Pita Nachos - these were soggy and gross. None of the toppings stayed on the pita. Don't ever order this to go because the longer it sits, the soggier the pita bread becomes. The green onions were overpowering. Wings - wings were great, no complaints. Fisn n Chips - the fish was still warm when I ate it, but it had bones in it. This is a huge no-no in my book. I'll never order this dish again from Harry Buffalo. Also, it was overly greasy and there wasn't a lot of meat to it. The fries were soggy and not very flavorful. I don't recommend this dish at all. I've eaten at other Harry Buffalo locations and have been quite pleased with their food, especially the Bison Burgers. But this location doesn't seem to have it all together. read more

The service was sporadic and slow, food was not good, and the waitress forgot to bring our drinks a few times so we ended up paying our bill and leaving. We got the feeling if you're not with the "in" crowd there they don't really pay attention to you, not that that would have made the food any better. read more

If there was a negative star for service I would absolutely rate it. Walked in looking for a table for three. After a few minutes one bartender took a hot minute to be pulled away from her phone long enough to tell us to sit anywhere. After sitting at our table for 12 minutes without being acknowledged we left. It would almost be understandable if it was crowded but the floor was about 50% empty. I'll never return to HB UPDATE: The manager from HB reached out and offered to remedy our issue. I felt his response to be sincere and that it was an oversight by the staff. Hopefully, it was a learning experience for them. read more

The Cleveland Bills Backers want to thank Harry Buffalo of Lakewood for the hospitality on Christmas Eve to host us for the Bills Game! We appreciate the awesome service, hospitality, accomodations, food and drinks! Thank you for everything! read more

Although I didn't dine-in, I was a little surprised to read some of the reviews. I can't comment on the crowd, the ambiance, or the clientele, but I can comment on the food. It was Fat Tuesday. I was home alone. I was hungry. I live across the street. Didn't wanna go far. I ordered the small order of Buffalo Wings (medium) and the Philly Beef Brisket. Wings = yummy, although they were skimpy with the celery. Each piece was bent in a weird way and just a really small portion. The wings themselves were quite flavorful. The sandwich was just delicious. Onions, mushrooms, banana peppers, mushrooms and Monterey jack/mozzarella blend on top of the tender meat. I loved it. I would probably order carry-out from here again. I am surprised this is the first time I have tried this place, after living here for almost a full year. read more

With out a doubt my favorite place is Lakewood! Harry Buffalo pretty much has everything you are looking for. This place is perfect for sporting events with there 2 huge tvs directly in the middle. It is also laid out with a bunch of other tvs surrounding the entire place. Football season is a great atmosphere and they are always sound up for Browns and Buckeyes. The staff is fantastic! From management to bartenders and evertything in between. They always make you feel very comfortable when here. The food is always great. Being a huge burger fan, its almost impossible to not get my fix at Harry Buffalo. Try the Bison burger. You will have your choice of bison or beef but the bison is great! A huge selection of burgers, sandwiches, and it doesnt stop there. Cheesy Garlic Bread... Enough said! Oh ya, did I mention they have 6 dollar pitchers? Great deal when sitting with friends watching a game. Check out the weekly specials as well. They always offer something different. Sunday Fundays are known to be amazing at this place. I have been known to go to a few here and there! If its weekend day/night drinking, lunch/dinner with the friends or family, check out the Buff. read more

Harry Buffalo - Always a good time - Bars Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

Walked in, immediate service. I wasn't sure of what I wanted to drink. The bartender, kelly, was accommodating and cool. I ordered the tenders tossed in spicy barbecue with garlic buffalo Parmesan on the side. Food arrived hot, but the gbp sauce was cold. Not complaining because that means it had been on ice or in the fridge as it should be. Can't be mad at properly handled food. If I was a secret shopper Kelly would have a perfect score. She ID'd me, recommended items, checked back, yada yada. Bonus points for having the same name as me. read more

Harry Buffalo - Tenders tossed in spicy barbecue with hot waffle fries and a side of Garlic Buffalo Parmesan wing sauce. Thanks Kelly. - Bars Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

At first glance, this seems like just another meathead wanna-be frat boy bar. I would say the downtown location is closer to this description. Not so much with the Lakewood spot. The crowd tends to be a little older, especially for football watching and the like. That said, I've never been here on a Friday or Saturday night. Anyway, the bar area is big and in general it has a slightly-western theme sports bar feel. What I was really impressed with though, was the menu. There are plenty of words like 'Kobe beef' and 'local' that really surprised me. Some unique appetizers and entrées too that you don't see everywhere. I was very much expecting the largely fried, same-old-stuff menu that you get at most bars. We got wings and cheesy garlic bread. Wings were good, medium sauce was medium and tasty. The cheesy bread was SO GOOD and served really hot and melty with a side of chunky marinara for dipping. We will definitely be back to watch some games now that I know the menu is much better than average. read more

Had a great time at @TheBuff for happy hour. Snagged a spot at the bar and of course I had to get the burger with the pretzel bun, so good. The crowd was cool and the drink prices were legit. The staff was super friendly. Parking in Lakewood is usually tricky, but I'm usually able to get a spot here pretty easily. read more

Harry Buffalo - You can't beat The Buff! - Bars Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

while the food is good,especially the Bison chili, if you order a cocktail, you MUST specify the brand because otherwise they will use the most expensive brand without asking you. I feel used! read more

on the website it directs you to toast app. placed an order for delivery. Waited an hour and a half for the delivery. Call the restaurant after a while to check the status; they said it's been done waiting for someone to pick up the order. I wait an additional 20 minutes to call again; they said they don't deliver. read more

I have such a love-hate relationship with Harry Buffalo. I love that they are one of the places in Cleveland to sell bison. I love that they have a plethora of tv's and play the sound for big games. The new arcade is pretty cool and is also free. The new menu is much better than the old one and features a pesto bowl which is delicious. What I hate about this place is typically the service and clientele. Kelly is a great bartender and is super cool, but other than that there isn't anything positive I can say about the rest of the staff. The worst part of this place though is the clientele. I would challenge my fellow yelper's to come up with a bar that attracts as my "bros" as this place. I literally can't sit at the bar for more than 20 minutes without my IQ dropping 10 points or being bombarded with misogynistic rhetoric. The manager, Mike, is a cool dude. Used to see him around the bar more often but not as much lately. It isn't the worst bar in Lakewood but it's far from the best. Come here for some above average food and to catch a game. read more

Great food the first time we went, food was meh the second time. Today we tried to go in for some dinner, the waitress was on her phone for a good 45 seconds before I said something about seating. When we sat down we were told only the bar was open and the kitchen was closed. At 5 pm on a Sunday. read more

Stopped in Friday night for a bite to eat. Sat at the bar, and Nicole took care of me. She was great! She recommended their burger, was really impressed. Good atmosphere will be back! Thank you! read more

My burger was amazing. Thank you Katherine for the great service. I will be back for sure!

The food was good. But the service from the server was horrible. I understand it is covid. But I was not pleased with the service in this location read more

I'm giving it 5 stars for the sake of the bartenders because the owners are genuinely an above ground pool if it were personified. The fact that each and every check has a line at the bottom that says "phone number" just opens up each and every female bartender to being sexually harassed by male patrons. I was told it was for their "rewards program" but in typical George Family fashion, that isn't the truth. 10/10 service. 0/10 ownership. Boycott this family. read more

I really enjoy going to this Harry buffalo! Always good food and great service. I'd recommend checking them out.

When I think of iconic bars in Lakewood, trendsetting bars really,"the Buff" reigns supreme. Some places lose their luster, slack after a client base is set, not this place. Since as far back as I can remember, the Buff has always been a go to for sporting events, pre-gaming, and the food. Definitely have to try the wings, many compare to Around the Corner, who also has good wings, but there is no comparison. The Buff has survived the storms and droughts other places couldnt handle. Back in the day, Paninis and McCarthys were comfortable on top. A precedent was set by the Buff, making anyone pondering starting a business think twice. Long and hard. Its apparent by now its here to stay, take notes read more

Thought things were off to a great start when our drinks arrived promptly. The food, unfortunately was a different story... this is how things played out: 1) gave server our order (which did include modifications- no BBQ, add mayo on the sandwich) 2) food arrived- one salad was missing and my sandwich was slathered in BBQ, no mayo 3) salad arrives- it's comprised of lettuce and cheese (that's it, noticeably missing were the carrots, tomatoes, and croutons from the menu), sandwich arrives- no BBQ (yay!) but also no mayo... we also realize we have no silverware. 4) friend asks sever for tomatoes- she brings back a ramekin with 1 cherry tomato in it (yes, you read that right, a single tomato). 5) mayo arrives after one more request Just when I think the frustration is over, the bill arrives... what's this? Charged for a side of ranch (that was never ordered or received)? Last straw... As someone who waited tables for 6 years, I can assure you it pained me to leave a mere 10% tip. However, also as a former server, there was no way I was going to reward that crap service. read more

I used to love this place. Just visited last week to find the menu selections are greatly reduced. No substitutions!! Apparently impossible to just order wings. Fries must come with them. Period. Waitress was practically missing the entire meal. Refills of beverages? Haha! Time to get the check? Good luck. Take away boxes for leftovers? Hope you only want one, even though multiple diners want boxes. Beer selection? Dismal. Thanks, I'll have a soda. I used to love this place. The good thing is - it is impossible to swing a cat on Detroit without hitting a better restaurant. read more

Crowded main bar layout....can't sit there comfortably. God forbid it's hot out...they open up the front of the building which allows for zero airflow and just allows you to enjoy the heat from the outside instead of any air conditioning. Hopefully you like insecure frat boys with beer muscles, being bumped into, and feeling generally uncomfortable, cause if you are, you got it!!!! read more

Great Local Spot for Good food, Good Brews, and Sporting Events! The staff is knowledgable and attentive. They always make sure their guests are the number one priority and are there to have the best time! You feel at home. I suggest the Bison Burger on a pretzel bun...Unbelievable! read more
