The staff is amazing and the food is even better if that is possible! All the food is made from scratch with no frozen anywhere. The cocktails are also for real with a nice selection of crafted flavors and twists on old staples. I have had dinner here twice now with different menus and everything my husband and I have tried is just fabulous. I can't wait for my next visit go try it you'll be obsessed too read more

I absolutely adore this place. Some of thee nicest and fun people working who actually enjoy their job. I believe it's family owned so it has a nice home feeling and touch to it. The food is out of this world- delicious and rich. Then the drinks just make you wonder: just how in the hell did you miss this spot! Perfect small, hip vibe. I can't believe that Lackawanna has been holding on to this gem. Second time going, and it was just as good as the first! (two years later.. I still mean it! I moved to California but I hope this place is still as awesome and being just as SAFE for its community and employees) read more

Drinks: Empress Rising - a sweet boozy beverage. I felt a little tipsy after sucking down this bad boy.

Updated review: One word comes to mind when thinking of Winfield's Pub and it's happiness!!! I had a very long day and I wanted to support my favorite local business. What gets rid of a bad headache? Anything from this restaurant!!! (The last five pictures are from today's takeout order.) I ordered the hop fries with garlic aioli. I also ordered the chicken pot pie. The fries were good but my, oh my, that chicken pot pie was fantastic!!! The crust was perfect and flaky in all of the right places. There were huge pieces of chicken on the inside. There were peas and carrots on the inside too. My food came in a large paper bag with my name and a smiley face on it. It was sitting on a table, right where you walk in. I didn't expect that and walked a bit too far into the restaurant. (Long day and it was a little disconcerting not seeing this place packed. I can't wait until it's reopened for sit-down service.) Everyone check out this awesome restaurant for takeout!!! read more

We went here a few weeks ago. We must have lucked out, because it wasn't crowded at all. We started with the corn chowder. At that point, we knew we had just lucked out with a low crowd, because it was perfect. We also had the BBQ pork belly burnt ends. Those were delicious, but be forewarned, those have a bit of a spicy kick to them! My husband had the Winfield Burger and I had the fried chicken sandwich. Both were delicious, but if I had to do it all over again, I would have ordered the burger, because it was the perfect combination of toppings and really juicy. We both had the warm potato salad as a side. If your expecting a German Potato Salad, think again. It was really good, but also really different. We will be back here! read more

The food was great but it was literally freezing in there. Even my husband was cold and that never happens!

Came during restaurant week spring 2018. We both ordered the Char grilled NY strip steak topped with rosemary and blue cheese butter and fresh cut fries. It was a larger sized steak and I crushed it. This may not sound like much, but I normally order a filet simply because it's the smallest cut I can get. I'm a 6-8 ounce of steak kinda girl. This thing was at least 10 and I couldn't stop eating it. My boyfriend was stunned when I offered him the remaining fries to tackle this bad boy! So delicious. I just thought about it and checked their website to see if they are open this evening because now I want it! read more

Absolutely fantastic family owned business. Food and cocktails are always top notch. We have tried pretty much everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. The warm potato salad is a must along with everything else. Don't forget the Guinness chocolate cake! Everyone is friendly and the service is great. We will be back (many times)! read more

This is in my list of the top 3 restaurants in Buffalo. It's a hidden little gem that you might not hear too much about but should absolutely try if you haven't. It's a family run place where Dad cooks, Mom takes orders and waits tables, and Thomas works behind the bar. They work so hard and are just the nicest people around. The food is also incredible. The tomato soup with the jalepeno grilled cheese pieces is delicious. The warm potato salad is amazing and the seasonal adaptations to their Caesar salad with homemade dressing is also the best. Their entrees often change but all of them are just so good. Drinks are great, dessert is great, and if you go in the winter, its the coziest place around. Go see these guys- give them your business, and support local people who just work so hard. read more

Cozy pub / restaurant. The food and service were very good. They had a surprisingly for such a small family run restaurant. We will definitely be going back. read more

Came to the Winfield's Pub on a date night. The waitress was very nice and attentive but the food didn't knock my socks off. We both got the brisket sandwich which was on special. The meat was essentially flavorless and the special white barbecue sauce just made the roll soggy. The Mac and cheese was good, but wasn't anything special. read more

Winfields is our go-to restaurant. Great food, unique menu, friendly service, amazing cocktails!

Wanted to update my review with some pictures from our dinner tonight since my original was lacking them. It appears they added some new mixed drinks to their menu since our last visit while retaining the favorites but I went with their delicious and reliable Moscow Mule. For our appz we both got the Beer Cheese Kielbasa soup with pretzel croutons. I thought maybe the soup would be too rich and complicated but it was smooth and the ingredients complimented eachother. It wasn't salty either. I got the medium-rare lamb burger for my main as I usually get and it was just as I remember. Cooked just how you ask, flavorful and juicy. I love topping it off with their addictive pickled red onions. Looking forward to going back again soon. read more

The only thing I've tried is the Fish Fry and they get 5 stars for that! Tasty, light, fresh fish with not too wet of cole slaw on the side. The fries are decent as well. read more

A great little place! Great food, always interesting specials. Family run business.

Always a great meal and great cocktails!! You better get there soon or it will be jam packed because the 5 star review is going to be published in the Gusto soon. It's just a bar with gourmet food and awesome cocktails. My go to cocktail is the Bob Clarke and my wife enjoyed a mango habanero cocktail. We started with a half dozen oysters which were delicious and the mignonette was awesome. We usually get the burnt ends but we were in the mood for oysters. Excellent choice. Next we shared a delicious tomato panzanella salad. I had an awesome scallop dinner with a phenomenal corn risotto. Deb had a schnitzel sandwich which was great and she upgraded to the corn brûlée side. Get the corn brûlée. Seriously!! I had it last year and it will be the star of the night. They do not have it all of the time. The hop fries and Kiki's potato salad are great, but they are there all of the time. Try it, you'll love it. I'll be there almost every Thursday night during football season. Oh, and the Octoberfest specials are coming. They were awesome last year!!! read more

Came here on a date day/night with my bf. He had mentioned the spot multiple times and raves about both their drinks and food and he was 100% right about both! Cocktails...on point! The bartender paid attention to details and was very knowledgeable and skilled. Food... also on point!! I would never had expected the food to be as good as it was! I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, my boyfriend ordered the pork tenderloin. Both were excellent! I don't think you could go wrong with anything you order here and I cannot wait to visit again!! read more

What a pleasant surprise. Not much on the outside but a cute bar Gastropub on the insides. We tried the toasted cheese appetizer witch was delicious. My wife had a cheeseburger and I had the chicken pot pie. Both were outstanding. We finished with the Cream Brûlée topped with rhubarb and strawberry topping. Another Winner! This guy can cook. Can't wait to come back and try something else. read more

This review is based on just stopping in for a quick couple apps after hearing good things. I will have to stop back and give it a second chance with a full meal. Apps and Drinks: The apps we got were okay. Mac & Cheese, and Hops Fries. They were both somewhat bland and definitely fell short of the other reviews and word of mouth in my opinion. Still, we enjoyed them for what they were. We each got a Moscow Mule, that was good as expected. Ambiance & staff: The outside looks like you are walking into the wrong place but once you get in there it surprisingly cleans up well. Medium size place, comfortable space. Parking was a bit confusing. I'm not sure I parked in their lot or the garages next door. Was worried I'd come out to a ticket or something but all was good. The waitress was knowledgeable and upbeat. Will be back and update this review once I've had a regular meal. read more

This place has a 4-1/2 average but a few low ratings too. Went for the first time today and loved everything. We shared fish tacos as an app and they were excellent. I had pork cutlets francaise that were delicious and my wife had a chicken breast that she really liked (asparagus was undercooked tho). Her Guinness chocolate cake was good and moist (I'm not a chocolate fan). Service was friendly and efficient. read more

Great food, great beer selection, great service. I came here late while passing through Buffalo and was so so hungry. I had a delicious cider, the mac and cheese, and the hop fries. The hop fries had a great garlicky dipping sauce and the mac and cheese was crusted with bread crumbs. I left with my hunger thoroughly satisfied. I have to give special mention to the wonderful service. The bartender was really really sweet and totally on top of it too! I'm happy this was the one place I came to in my one night here. read more

A great surprise for a traditional South Buffalo Bar and Restaurant! Great service. Very Good food!

Great bartenders, great food, great family! Honestly - the BEST burger in Buffalo. Fish fry was more than enough for my husband and I to share. Winfield's is **THE** pub of Buffalo! read more

A great surprise in what used to be just another neighborhood bar! I had the burger whilst my dining partner had a lovely bowl of steak and grass soup. Okay, to describe it as a burger is to do it a disservice. What made the burger special was the combination of cooking the meat properly and the wonderful raspberry tomato jam (ketchup) that was served on top. The service was fast and friendly, the place was clean, the prices reasonable, and there is parking behind the building. What more could one ask for? This place should be jammed every night! read more

Pretty much obsessed with this place as of Saturday. I've never been here and i have been looking to try it for quite some time now. Decided to check it out with my dad because it seemed like a place that him and i would enjoy. Walked in at around 4:30-5 and sat at the bar, it was a little slow when we first got there. Greeted by an older woman, super friendly, she was actually one of the owners, i was debating on what cocktail to get and she recommended one for me, it was gin, i actually asked for lockhouse gin in this drink specifically. The drink turned out to be super delicious, right up my alley! Only thing i wish she would have done differently is strain the drink over a large cube of ice, instead she just poured it all into the glass with the small ice chunks. My dad of course got a PBR bottle, later after dinner he ordered an old fashioned and that was AMAZING. before we ordered a new bartender came in, male, the owners son. This guy was pretty cool, i would come back just to hang out and have a drink because he knew how to make the perfect margarita EXACTLY how i like it, he actually even made it a bit spicy with some bitters that he had on hand. For food we started with the poutine, duck gravy and goat cheese, filling and the portion was the perfect size. My father also got the soup that was on special, he said he enjoyed it....the bartender told me the chef (his father, another owner) told him that they will be participating in the Buffalo Soupfest this year as well. Looking forward to checking out what they have to offer if i happen to attend this year. For our entrees i got the ruben with a side of their potato salad and also a side of mac and cheese. My father got the steak. Ruben - 3.5/5 Was a bit on the small side, could have maybe used a bit more dressing but still enjoyable. Potato salad- 4/5 This is the owners mothers family recipe, warm and savory. you should get it and bask in all its glory. Mac and cheese- 4/5 Made to order at first was a bit soupy but once i stirred it up and let it cool down it thickened right up. Its cheesy and mouthwatering please do yourself a favor and order it. Margarita- 5/5 AMAZING ask him to make it with cilantro and the spicy bitters that he has im sure he will know exactly what you're talking about Gin DRink- 4.5/5 good on taste just wanted it strained. Overall i can not wait to come back!! I'll deffinatly bring my cousins and boyfriend here to try it! read more

Seeking a decent option on the Saturday before Christmas after strenuous holiday shopping, we found long wait times for tables at other local establishments. Instead of waiting, I suggested we try Winfield's. That was a win for me. I'm not sure how many points I should get for that suggestion, but it should be a lot. This intimate, Lackawanna corner pub doesn't stand out. In fact, I've probably driven by it a brazilion times and not even noticed it there... sitting... unassumingly lurking... patiently awaiting my patronage. The day had come. The first thing you will notice is, the concrete steps to the door are unusually steep, so watch your step, but going up and down those stairs a bunch of times is a great way to build an appetite or work off the meal you just had! Great idea! The pub was reasonably busy, but there was no wait for a table, which was perfect. Beyond the obvious attraction presented by the climb into the restaurant, the interior charm of Winfield's is quaint, personable and gives you a very "at home" feel. We were quickly seated near the front window, along side their Christmas tree which brought a cozy ambiance to our meal. Missing only was the snowy landscaping, because it has been unseasonably warm in Buffalo since November... but that's ok! Really. I don't mind. We both tried the pulled pork and 3-bean soup, which we agreed was a soup masterpiece. Incredible. Literally one of the best soup-of-the-days I have ever tried. My date got the lamb burger, cooked medium-rare, and I got the pulled barbecue chicken sandwich on jalapeno bread, both with a side of the mac-&-cheese. After a quickly corrected mix up with my order, which honestly was probably my fault as much as anyone else's, we discovered the meals were also as incredible as the soup. The service was excellent - from the barkeep warmly greeting us, to the server waiting every table in the pub alone, yet forgetting no one (and also not hovering or asking every 2 minutes if everything is ok which can be equally as frustrating youknowhatImean!) to the owner visiting each table to make sure everything was to each patron's liking, the experience couldn't have been better. The only disappointment - we enjoyed the soup so much we asked for a bowl of it to-go so it could be enjoyed the next day. It took a while to be brought to our table and when it was, the bowl was only half-full - probably no more than a "cup" size serving, yet twice the price of the cups of soup we enjoyed with our meal. Very disappointing. I believe that if a patron likes something you served so much that they're willing to buy it AGAIN that night, load that b***h up. Just my view on it. That aside, Winfield's does receive from me a rare and elusive 5-star review. It was beyond expectations, and given their close proximity to where I live, I will visit them again. read more

Winfields is the refuge, we all seek. Cheryl maketh lunch rush seem quiet. She leads us into scrumptious pastures, And refreshes us with beer&wine that runneth over all the days of our lives. Her chef comforts us & we compliment bountifully and payeth dutifully. So let's keep Winfield's cup overflowing because of the goodness in the greeting & love in the grub. Though we walk through many a pub, We will never fear when we enter The church of Cheryl and we shall dwell In her house forever. read more

We love eating here. The family affair. Dad cooks, mom is the waitress and the son is the master bartender. I look forward to finding out what the soup of the day is. I have had many items off the menu. I would say if you like a certain food you will love the way they make it. Cocktails are made with fresh ingredients DELISH! I am a cream brûlée fan and that is one of their specialties. read more

Amazing hidden gem in West Seneca. Great cocktails and delicious fresh menu. I would definitely recommend

Came in for dinner on a Thursday. In addition to a good variety of sandwiches, salads, and entrees, they have a great specials menu. I got the bbq pulled chicken sandwich which was on special and it came on a homemade jalapeno bread. My boyfriend got the fried chicken sandwich off of the regular menu. Our waitress was very attentive. Also - their homemade dessert menu looked great. I'll be back! read more

Really good food, and innovative selection! I got the lamb burger (very juicy) with a side order of Mac and cheese.... my friend ordered the grilled cheese bites with tomato soup for dipping.... we shared the corn fritters (only $5 ) Service was solid. My only semi-complaint was that the cocktails were tasty but expensive and small in size (most on the menu are $11-$12) read more

The wife and I found this place on a Yelp search for BBQ and we decided to give it a try. I had never heard of this place and never seen any advertising for it. I had the NY strip steak and it was seasoned well and cooked perfectly and tasted great. The potatoes were undercooked but did have a real strong flavor of smoke(which I like but the wife said was to strong). The wife had the Pork Cutlet Francaise and she said this also was very good. We had the pork belly planks burnt ends for our appetizer and this was way overly seasoned with the rub they use. Unfortunately this 100% covered the smokey flavor I was looking for. Overall I enjoyed the visit and will return again at some point. Our waitress was super nice and very attentive. Would be 3.5 if there was half stars. read more

This was my first time here and I was very pleasantly surprised. I don't venture out into the 'burbs often ( being a downtown girl) but this was well worth the trip! Really like a neighborhood pub! Comfortable and welcoming!! The fish tacos were excellent! Totally 5 stars. The second item we got was the calamari which were pretty good/ average but did not come with any sauce - generally I've had them come with marinara sauce or an aioli. We asked the bartender for a sauce and she was kind and offered us a miso sauce which was ok. The drinks are good and the service is super friendly. I would definitely come again and try their burger next time! read more

The food and the drinks are both amazing. Such a cool atmosphere inside and everyone is very friendly. A hidden gem!!

This place is great! We accidentally came in before they opened (15 min early) and they invited us in anyways. Everything they make is homemade (everything!) and delicious. I had the Lamb Burger which was the perfect sized portion with the best potato salad I have ever had. They have great beers and a very creative drink list.
