The venue itself is of course still very new, clean and modern. That can often mean high noise levels as others have noted, modern restaurant construction seems to put acoustics at the bottom of the priority list. That said, I did not find it overly loud, just loud enough where you had to raise your voice slightly. Enough about that. Johnson's Landing has a Lenten fish fry special, $20 for a full fish fry with sides, and this includes one of their specialty beers. This is a good deal to get a craft beer included with your fish fry. I actually ordered it to go and enjoyed the beer while waiting for the fish to take out. It was a very solid fish dinner, the batter was crispy, not oily. The fish was fresh, all of the sides were good, even the rye bread was a nice hearty thick cut of rye. The mac salad featured tuna, which I do like. And the fries were hot and tasty. The fish itself was not huge but was big enough for us. Every component of the fish fry dinner was on point. The barmaid was efficient and friendly, I did not have to wait. My only complaint is that they do not list beer prices on their menu, which was fine this time since it was included with the meal, but would prevent me from enjoying a stop on the way home for a beer or two. I think it is a sneaky practice, but strangely I do note prices on their website, and guess what? All draft beers are $8 including Labatt Blue Light, unless the website is now outdated. ($8 for Labatt's!! Holy Moly!) I can see why it is not on the printed menu. I really don't like when there is not full price transparency, thus four stars instead of five. However I wholeheartedly endorse the value and quality of the Lenten fish fry special. read more

My family and I waited 20 minutes at our table without anyone acknowledging us. We didn't receive water, menus explained, or any kind of service, while the tables around us were continuously being attended to. Eventually, I went to the hostess stand to let them know we still hadn't been helped. I saw her speak to a group of waiters, yet another 5-7 minutes passed with no one coming to our table. What was most disappointing was the complete lack of urgency or concern for a family that had been sitting there waiting the entire time. I can't say for certain it was racially motivated, but we were the only Black family there while everyone else around us seemed to receive constant service and attention. Unfortunately, after this experience, we will not be returning. read more

Johnson's landing is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Buffalo during the summer months! They have 3 levels of different dining experiences so there's something for everyone! From your average pub restaurant on the first floor, to your fancier restaurant on the second and a rooftop bar on the 3rd overlooking the gorgeous Buffalo sunsets and view of Lake Erie! I have been here 3 times and I have never been disappointed! The food is outstanding! I've ordered everything from their wood fired pizzas to their sandwiches to even the pork chop (not pictured) you can never go wrong! The service is great! They definitely know how to keep a good time going with live music on the weekends and amazing cocktails to enjoy while watching the sunset! I know I will definitely be back! I mean come on! Look at that view!! Amazing! read more

Stopped in for dinner today. The wait downstairs was 45 minutes but there was a bar table available so we grabbed that. We ordered our drinks and food at the bar. The food came out really quick and hot. The steak sandwich was a little lack luster and could use more steak. The fish fry was good , the macaroni salad and fries were really good sides and the coleslaw wasn't my favorite. read more

Had my birthday brunch here and thoroughly enjoyed the experience as did my guests. Everyone ordered different things of course, and I ended up going for the breakfast pizza ($20) which was delicious and had some for leftovers too! The pizza had bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, and other things on there as well. I also had a cocktail, but I can't remember what it was called, but I know it had a peach ring on top and our server was really nice and brought me some extra peach rings in a glass to enjoy. I really enjoyed the vibe of the space and we were able to all be together outside on their covered patio where you could almost catch peels of the lake across the road. I cannot recall the servers names, but we had two who really great and the food came out very quickly considering how large our party was. definitely recommend checking out this place and I look forward to going back to try other delicious things I saw on the menu. read more

As a business owner, I understand situations happen, but this was handled terribly from start to finish. We waited over a half hour only to find out they didn't have the ingredients for the meals we ordered. First it was the appetizer, then after waiting even longer it was the main lunches too. The problem wasn't being out of ingredients -- it was the lack of communication, leadership, and basic customer service. What made the experience worse was the manager. Instead of coming to the table, apologizing, or trying to fix the situation, he sat near the entrance on his computer acting like he was too important to deal with customers. Meanwhile staff looked lost and customers were left waiting with no answers. As an owner myself, watching a manager wander around, avoid customers, and put zero effort into resolving an issue is frustrating to see. It honestly looked more like someone wasting ownership's payroll than actually managing a restaurant. Completely disappointing experience and very poorly run that day. read more

I come here with friends whenever there is an occasion where we have a large group because it's perfect for grabbing drinks and seeing the beautiful lake view. The food is pretty good and I've never had any complaints with it - it's not something I actively seek out but enjoy it every time I'm here. Their pizzas are the real highlight. read more

This was my first time here and I'm certainly looking forward to coming back in the summer! Ambiance was great- 5/5 on that due to the views on the 2nd floor. It was a very "fancy" environment with cloth napkins, candles, etc. this would be very nice for a date night ! Food was also pretty good so 5/5 on this as well. They serve you bread with butter AND dipping oil which was pure perfection. The bread was crunchy out the outside and soft in the inside and had a great texture with every bite! Service was slow here and I'm not sure if it was a due to being a busy Friday night but I had to call the waitress over a few different times for drink refills. One thing to be mindful of is the different menus for the different areas of the restaurant- they only serve certain items on the 2nd floor. Check the menu! read more

Had a good experience. The food was very good. I didn't take pics because I was with another couple but we all agreed the food was good. The crab cakes had a pineapple salsa on top which gave the appetizer a sweet and salty and a slight citrus taste. My chicken Milanese was amazing. I enjoyed every bite! The swordfish was perfectly cooked and came on top of jambalaya. No room for coffee or dessert but I will def be back! Waitress was pleasant. Checked on us periodically and was friendly. The restaurant itself was cool. A bit of class met a slight edge over looking the water on the top floor. read more

We had an amazing dinner at Johnson's Landjng last night. The food was delicious and our service was outstanding. I will be recommending our server, Alyssa to everyone I know. She was an absolute ROCK star!! She kept our drinks full, was very knowledgeable about the menu and answered all my husband's questions about low carb options. She took such great care of us, we will definitely be back and will request Alyssa every time! read more

It was a perfect weather summer day in Buffalo and went out to celebrate with a birthday lunch. This restaurant was on our bucket list for awhile and finally made it happen and it was so worth it! The service was great from the moment we entered at the hostess stand to the waiter. Everyone was friendly and helpful and quick. The place is huge with outdoor patios on all three floors. We opted for inside and AC as it was a hot July day. We all enjoyed our lunch choices; everything was perfectly cooked and delicious - highly recommend their homemade fries!! read more

The food scrumptious flavorful! I had to tell the waitress to give compliments to the chef he/she "Did that" I ate steak and eggs and home fries! My husband ate pancakes with bananas he said it was delicious. The service was great! The waitress was very attentive and very informative with the menu. The ambiance relaxing and it's a big space not crowded. Oh yeah we sipped mimosa's grapefruit, pineapple orange. We had a few choices on our table. Also there is a roof top area, and a second floor for private parties. I can't wait to go back to enjoy some good food! I love this space! Very well thought of for families etc.. read more

We have come here twice now, both times we started with a drink on the rooftop bar and then moved down to the first floor patio for dinner. We love rooftop patio so much we brought both of our families here! The food is good, but nothing out of this world. First I got the beef on weck, which is good and then I got the Cuban, which was good. I will probably try the steak sandwich next time! We really liked the spicy dip appetizer. Will definitely be coming back for more dinner and drinks for a lovely view of the water especially at sunset! read more

This is a terrific place. Dinner on the second floor from a menu with a lot of selections. Each dish well prepared. Substitution of rice for pasta was no problem. Service from Erica first class. Drinks perfectly prepared. One sent back cheerfully replaced. Fairly priced. First floor has a huge bar with a bar-type menu and serve-yourself beer and cocktails. Register a credit card and get a bracelet. On Lake Erie with amazing views. read more

Another great trip to Johnson's Landing. Made reservations in the morning for dinner the same day. The second floor was not crowded at all when we arrived. Probably had to do with it being the first Friday of lent. Never fear, there is a great fish fry here! My husband ordered that and I had the scallops. The risotto was delish. Moved to the bar for an after dinner drink. We'll be back! read more

Kya was our server. She was great, friendly, pleasant and attentive! We sat on under the covered outdoor patio, it was okay, a bit cold from the wind though. Loved the lounge chairs with the games down there, super cute. Some Beach Somewhere 10/10 Cocktail was absolutely delicious and refreshing! Street corn dip 10/10 So delicious. Loved the cream cheese base. Little hint of spice from the jalapeño but not much. I would have put another small pinch of cheese and maybe a bit more bacon though to taste the flavor a bit more. Fish tacos - shrimp 8/10 Shrimp was cooked good. You could taste the vinegar based slaw. Loved the cilantro cream too. Fries 10/10 Amazing fries! read more

Post holiday lunches can be hit or miss and this right here was a HIT! We had heard about this spot but never got around to going but since one of my best friends was in town we decided to go and what a wonderful decision this was! Our waitress was very sweet and made sure she checked on us without being over the top lol. We started with the fried pickles, buttermilk biscuits and the street corn dip and my, my, my - everything was just right! The three spreads for the biscuits were delicious! Now, for our entree we all chose the fish fry but I opted for the lemon pepper and we all agreed it was cooked to perfection! Oh and the blood orange margaritas? Keep em coming! Lol Gotta go back for brunch and try to second floor menu next! read more

Been here before but what brought us back is their $20 fish fry/beer combo. No reservations for this, but you can go online and put yourself on the waitlist. It didn't work for us so we did it once we got there. It was 35 minutes, so we went to the bar, then decided to eat at the bar. The battered fish was light and crunchy. The Cajun pretty good and lemon pepper was really liked by our guest. We tried mashed potatoes, American potato salad and French fries. I really liked my mashed potatoes. They came in a large bowl and were real mashed. The potato salad was good, way better than store bought stuff. I would have liked more mayo and onion but this probably satisfies the masses. The rye bread was super fresh and a big thick slice. The Mac salad was really good too and coleslaw tasted just like coleslaw! The beer here is pretty tasty as well with a nice selection. The bar was super busy but got three seats 15 minutes after arrival. We'll be back for this special (during lent). read more

It's exciting that after a long wait Johnson's Landing finally opened at the end of this past summer. It's a gorgeous, modern and sleek new building that overlooks the lake. It has several floors/ spaces each with slightly different vibe making this the perfect spot to grab drinks, have dinner or host a private event. The first floor has an upscale bar food menu and the second floor has the same items as well as a few more upscale entrees. Both floors have ample amounts of seating and pretty big bar space. There are also outdoor patio areas to enjoy the outdoors and see the lake when the weather is nice. I've been here 2 times. Both have been very good. The first time was right when they opened. We had a reservation on the first floor but there was still a long wait. While we waited we were able to skip the line at the bar and use their self service pour station. This was pretty neat. You had your own QR code and could pour your own beer, wine or cocktail. It made splitting the check very easy too! This time I had a salad with shrimp, it was ok but the shrimp weren't cooked all the way. Our server was very kind and fixed it for me right away so i don't see it as an issue. The second time we were upstairs and it did have a more date night vibe. This time i had the stuffed filet of sole with shrimp and rice. It was perfect and was a large enough portion I had some for lunch the next day. Stop by and check this place out when you are in the area. read more

Enjoyed a birthday celebration on the first floor at Johnson's landing. We all enjoyed pot roast poutine which was delicious and filled up five of us. I really like the potatoes that they use, they are different than their french fries. I ordered the chicken and waffle pizza. It with a full size pizza cooked in there brick oven. It was good, the waffles had an amazing crispiness and sweetness to them and they were just small pieces so it wasn't too much. I only ended up eating about one and a half slices because the appetizer was so filling. It was delicious warmed up in the air fryer. My partner ordered a burger that he enjoyed. Someone else ordered baked fish with lots of good looking sides. Somebody else ordered the Cuban sandwich and enjoyed it. One thing that was weird is we went in April and did not even see the lake even though it's right there (apparently). We were there at sunset so probably the shades were shut because otherwise the sun would have been in our eyes. I've heard it's nice to go on the rooftop patio in the summer. read more

I've been to this new restaurant three times in the last two months. It's been open about four months now. My first time was with a brunch group about a month and a half ago. There were 15 of us. We were seated outside. They had a heater on. It was still chilly. I had two caramel apple martinis, the breakfast pizza, and a small waffle. Everything was absolutely delicious. Our waitress was Erika. She was fantastic and had a really great attitude! No issues about separating checks for all of us. I'd love to have her again. I came here a few weeks ago with my boyfriend. I had the French onion soup. It was great! I had a caramel apple martini and the frittata. I never had one before. It was good. It came with potatoes that I didn't like. Our waitress was nice. Her name was Megan M. I came here two nights ago with my friend Kate. I had a Sleigh Ride martini that was very good. I ordered fried cheese curds that I shared with my friend. She shared a bit of her dish with me too. I also ordered the nachos. They were fantastic!!! The waitress's name from two nights ago was Abby F. She was very enthusiastic about the establishment and answered any questions I had. (I asked what the upper two levels were for. The second floor level is for fish and meats and they have separate chefs on that level. The third level is for group events.) I was going to take off a full star because of how pricy this place is, because of the potatoes, and because of how loud it gets in the evening but I didn't have the heart to do that. You get what you pay for. This new bar/brewery has a fantastic menu, amazing food, and great service. Stop here for a drink and some food. You definitely won't be disappointed. I will return as much as my wallet will allow me to! read more

Johnson's Landing is the new brewery/bar/restaurant combo in Hamburg near the lake. Behind the old Peg's Place restaurant, the towering building is difficult to miss as you drive by. Inside and out, everything gives a modern, trendy, and clean vibe. The entrance is cozy chic but quickly turns to an industrial feel with the exposed metal rafters, vents, and ductwork. TV screens and a large screen with projector let patrons keep track of current sports, as you'd expect at a bar setting. The menu is fairly extensive with multiple sheets for the different categories, albeit diners should still expect it to be timid in varying from the usual bar menus. Pizza, sandwiches, and other finger foods with some salads, and sweeter flavors for the kids. Service at the start was good; we were greeted by three hostesses who found a table for us in five minutes. Our waitress was to our table shortly after. Upon placing our order though, it was nearly 40 minutes for the food to arrive. And the food was warm... but not hot. Also not hot was the coffee, which was served in glass mugs (not ceramic) to look trendy but caused the beverage to cool down before it even reached the table. We found ourselves looking for the waitress a few times as she only seemed to show up when bringing items to the table, rather than to check on if we needed anything. The highlights were the andouille sausage and sauce on the pizza; there was little to complain about the rest of the food but not much that stood out either. If you're looking for a place to have a couple drinks and socialize, this restaurant will fit your needs better, I feel. As a place for a sit down lunch, it left some things to be desired. read more

This restaurant has a great location. Service is average. Always greeted by hostesses too. A nice spot for drinks and food to hang with friends. In the summer there's a lawn for corn hole. As far as the food goes, I have some really good items and some just average. French onion soup is delicious with lots of flavor. Chicken quesadilla left a lot to be desired. Wet chicken, just a tiny bit of cheese, pico etc all kind of blah. Way too wet to pick the pieces up. Overall a 3 out of 5. read more

This is my second time here. The first time I didn't want to review because I went on a Friday and it was so busy I didn't feel I would have given it a fair chance. Cons: I can tell you this if you're planning on going on a busy weekend or day get there early because they don't take reservations. The pros the place is huge though so you have lots of room. Service is friendly and I like how they were able to split our checks. Food is pretty much pub grub right now with some pizzas and handhelds. The fried pickles are super good. I didn't get any entries but the buffalo chicken pizza is good too. Overall a cool place too hang if that's what you're looking for, not really a "dinner" spot in my opinion. read more

This place was packed! And very, very loud. The views were spectacular. Our waitress seemed stressed, but she was nice and as attentive as she could be with how busy she was. The cocktails were pretty good, the appetizers were tasty as well. Our entrees were good, we're hoping that once they're open longer the entrees may improve a bit. My fiancé had the scallops and the pineapple risotto, which sounded amazing, but it needed a little more flavor. We'll definitely be back to try other things on the menu. This would be great place for happy hour. We did not get to try the self-serve beer, which seems like a great idea! You get a wristband with a bar code that links to your tab, and you scan the code every time you refill your glass. Overall, we had a great time. The views, the food, and the drinks all combined to make for a very happy experience. I will be back soon! read more

Me and my fiancée been wanting to try this place. This new restaurant is next to Peg's place. One of our favorite place that sadly is closed now. So when his brother and family come to town, we decided to try this place. There are 7 of us. Me, my fiancée, his parents and his brother with his wife and daughter. The place is nice with modern style and decor. It has big projector not a tv, playing the foot ball game. They have patio which will be nice for summer. Me and my fiancée split a pizza. It's called craven creole. It has basil, andouille sausage and red pepper. I'm quite surprised that we got a decent sz of pizza. I'm expecting for smaller portions. I like the sausage but that's it... pizza decent but not wow. His parents and his brother got beef on Weck. They are not too fond on it. Missing the au jus. His brother wife ordered Cali Turkey. She seemed to enjoy it. The other complaint were the service was slow. The restaurant was not too busy. It has decent crowds but we went to a lot of places so we knew what slow service are. The coffee was cold. So overall... it just ok. I don't know if we want to go there again... maybe. We were eyeing pot roast poutine before we ended up with pizza. read more

So my hubby wanted to try this place for Father's day. We did reservations for the first floor. 2nd Floor you needed to reserve with $50 for each person. Thought that was a little high so we opted for the first floor. When we arrived it was busy but not too bad no one waiting so that was a good sign. So the girl at the front desk told us that there were still had people seated at our table and it would be 10-15 minutes. I looked like there are other tables??? but we sat down. As we watched others walking in with no reservations and getting seated right away. I was not understanding the whole process. We were a party of 3, so it wasn't like we needed a big table. This is why I am giving this review 4 star. We sat down about 15 minutes after our reservation and we did get a low table and right by the window. So I guess it was better than the high tables that were around the restaurant. We ordered our drinks and parused the menu. We started with the bread and 3 toppings. Boy that was really good. We each ordered different sandwiches with the fries. Oh the fries were really good, hand cut and cooked perfect. My son had the steak sandwich. Steak was cut up, not shaved. Very meaty and not chewy. Melt in your mouth steak. I had a burger cooked with some pink and it was very good. Seasoned perfectly. My husband had the cuban. Loads of meat and he left nothing on his plate. Overall, very happy with the food. Service was ok, even our waitress was not very present. But I am giving them a pass because it was father's day. My husband was a bit upset with all the TVs they didn't have a major US Golf open on, so we opted to put it on his phone. I will have to try again on a not so busy day. read more

I love how they took advantage of this open space and built it into a great meet-up spot. Plenty of waitstaff and bartenders. Went there for a happy hour and thoroughly enjoyed the loaded fries. Fries were crisp and salty with plenty of toppings (burnt ends that weren't overly fatty - YUM!). The deep fried cheese curds (served with an addictive aioli) and pickle chips were also delicious. Would definitely consider this place to get together with friends, although it does get loud quick, especially if a band is playing. read more
