Great food, great service and most of all clean! Will definitely be back. Everything is homemade and delicious. read more

Honestly didn't get to try the food, might've been great. But when we called we didn't even get a happy hello we got a hi, we assumed we called the wrong place. We just had a simple question and it was a crap attitude from the girl who answered. 2/11 at 8pm. I feel bad for anyone who has to talk to her. I get jobs can be stressful but we had the simplest question and was super nice to her. Unfortunately we won't be ever going there because of her, we'll spend it at a different restaurant. read more

Again, only good things to say about Winfield's, everyone there is so friendly and makes you feel welcome. The lamb burger with feta on that potato roll is amazing, cooked just as I asked and came with hop fries..just try them, you wont be sorry. Tonight I decided to try dessert.. ok, maple crème brulee with a dollop of whipped cream topped with candied homemade candied bacon! Sweet n salty and ohhh so good! This place is truly a hidden gem. read more

This is an upscale pub, well beyond what we usually get in Buffalo and the surrounding areas. The bar is creative, the atmosphere is casual, but the food is ELEVATED! It's our go-to after we watch the Food Channel and want simply good food, elevated. read more

I was told about this place by a customer of mine stating that they had great classic cocktails and delicious food. I was intrigued because not many places in the southtowns can put out great cocktails aside from your traditional martini list. When we first pulled up we were slightly concerned as from the outside it looks very tiny, but once we got in it was very nice and cozy! I love a good old fashioned and these did not disappoint. They allow you to choose your bitters for it (so you can alter the sweetness/dryness to your liking) so I went for the orange bitters. The drink was incredible!! I ordered another with dinner and probably would've ordered another after that if I didn't weigh 120 lbs- my point is that you need to order this drink. They also feature a whiskey list if you're looking to sample some bourbons or rye. Based on the advice from my customer, we ordered the grilled cheese bite appetizer that comes with a cream of tomato soup type dipping sauce- delicious. Our favorite dish was the chicken pot pie- my husband actually said it may have been better than his mom's homemade recipe. We will be back to try some whiskey and work our way around the menu. This place was an awesome find!! read more

AMAZING! I had the "double Double" tonight and my husband had the lamb burger we were both extremely satisfied! The double double chicken dish with kale, and cream, and polenta, was off the charts with flavor! We were both very happy with our food. We shared the snout and stout soup of the day which was amazing in flavor!!! We enjoyed outdoor dining and the service was magnificent very friendly, very personable, and everything was hot and delicious!! read more

We got a local flavor coupon and decide to try this new place. We were absolutely Blown Away! We had the T-bone steak which was perfectly grilled and seasoned with herb butter, with a side of mashed potatoes and onion crisps. The warm mushroom salad was delicious as was the soup of the day - a butternut squash soup with cumin and other Indian type flavors. Our server Haley was fabulous. She was there when needed, answered all our questions, and made sure that everything was to perfection. We will definitely be back! read more

This will be my new favorite burger place. Seriously delicious burger. Great beverage selection as well.

This is a gem of a restaurant. Casual ambience but top notch cocktails, beer list and wine selections. The menu was really interesting. Fresh fish specials and lots of other goodies to choose from. Started with the steamed clams - perfect in every way. I had the lamb burger with their warm potato salad. Great flavors! Bob had the Rueben with a Caesar salad. Everything was tasty, hot, done perfectly and served perfectly by the nicest server ever. Just a great meal. We will be back many times to try all of the menu choices. read more

This review is purely for the bar, me and my two friends didn't try any food. Winfield had some good cocktail options priced relatively well, but were executed at different levels. My friends drink (containing egg whites) did not foam too well. Overall a good midday place to grab a drink with friends! read more

Prepare to be overwhelmed with friendship, fine food and unbelievable cocktails. Thomas leads a great team. I am so absolutely impressed with the attention to detail and service. The Tom and Jerry is the ABSOLUTE BEST in Buffalo! The dessert explodes with a nuclear reaction of flavor from the bourbon maple bread pudding. My palate is in shock. I love this place....shhhh....my new secret favorite pub!!! read more

This is no ordinary pub. You wont find any over-breaded glommy bar fare here, but a creative menu with everything from duck poutine to lemon crème brûlée with a white chocolate whipped topping flavored with basil and topped with chopped fresh strawberries. The hop fries are unique and served with a tangy garlicky dip; don't even think of putting catsup on these tasty things! The BBQ burnt ends are worth the trip alone: so tasty and savory (smoked on site) with a sweet and tangy sauce with just a hint of a kick. Perfect. And the prices! Get out. My husband had a double Irish Whisky and craft IPA alone with three courses and we only managed to run to $53. I wish I lived in this town; you people don't know what you've got here... read more

Don't judge a book by its cover, its location or its back parking lot. Looking for place to eat and this place has been on my list. Upon entering we were cheerfully greeted and asked where we wanted to sit. The hubs was happy because they had a great german beer that he liked. He wanted the steamed clams and glad he did. Me, I can take or leave clams. What I loved was the grilled cheese on jalapeno bread with bacon and homemade tomato soup for dipping. It must have been good because the hubs drank the rest of the soup For meals we had the lamb burger, which was fine, but nothing special. We also had the Winfield cheeseburger. Cheeseburger sound boring you say, not this one. While simple the combination of the caramelized onion, tomato jam and the homemade potato bun was sensational. I know the place was good when the husband says he would come back !! read more

We were driving to go shopping and I always wanted to stop in Winfield's Pub. I was shocked when i walked in how nice it was. I thought it was a typical local South Buffalo Bar, it wasn't. The atmosphere was welcoming and clean. It's a family owed business and the staff was amazing. We just stopped for a drink, but the bartender/ owner has convinced us to come back and try the food. Her husband is the cook and everything is made from scratch. I can't wait to try their food, thanks to the owner explaining the pub to us. read more

A find! Chef- Owned restaurant with such great offerings. I had an in house cured corned beef Reuben with hot, bacon cheese potato salad( I know- not on my diet) The family had: cherry , smoked, grilled chicken with slivered onion rings .The best portobello veggie burger with their "hop" fries served with aioli . Daughter had grilled salmon with home made rye noodles ! Home made chicken pot pie,fish tacos, lamb burger, Caesar salad, soups and short rib poutine! Come on, do you expect this from a pub! Something very cool about this locale, friendly owners and unique, perfectly balanced offerings! Enjoy!! read more

We have driven by this place for 3 years and thought it was just a local "dive bar." Well let's just say, we were extremely surprised at how big it actually was once we went in (compared to the small front of the building), and how fantastic the food was!!! We tried appetizers-BBQ burnt pork ends, hop fries both were uncomparable to any restaurant around buffalo, cream of tomato soup with grilled cheese croutons (perfect mix). For dinner the grilled sirloin, and the cherry chipotle chicken and both were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I had read an article in Step Out Buffalo saying this is a must try place, and I'm glad I saw the article or I would never have found it. Give it a try, I'm sure you won't be disappointed!!!! read more

WOW all i can say is WOW, a friend recommended this place and i was hesitant to drive to Lackawanna but wow totally worth the ride. I had a lamb burger and my wife had a chicken pot pie, all home made all fresh all delish. I'll be going back for sure. read more

We live this little hidden gem. The cocktails are excellent. Quite a variety. And this time of year the best Tom and Jerry. Their menu is unique with everything house made down to ketchup. For apps started with smoked burnt ends let me tell you. The best. The perfect amount of smoke. Large portion in a delicious sauce not the fatty ends you get everywhere else. We have been here multiple times this time we were in the mood for a chicken sandwich. Not your average sandwich buttered homemade bun with jalapeño slaw and garlic aioli fantastic. Definitely give it a tr!!! read more

Good little pub with great food. Interesting selection of stuff here. I had the lamb burger ... Excellent. The pickled carrots on the side really add to the experience. The warm potato salad is really unique. It's creamy and full of bacon, olives, chives and other good stuff. It was described as a bowl of loaded baked potato and Irish Mac and cheese. Definitely a must. A nice selection of unique craft beers and some really original cocktails read more

A totally complete experience/neighborhood gem in Lackawanna. Worth the drive from anywhere. Vibes: A classy neighborhood dive. Unselfconsciously eclectic. Spacious but cozy. Quiet but not creepy on the Thursday night we came in. Beautiful hardwood floor, plenty of seating, semi-open kitchen with a frosted glass window. Comfortable bar with 3 TV's that weren't blaring. Fitting music playing over the sound system at a perfect volume, ranging from The Doors to Al Green. One lone young man at the bar and a couple of old funky folks at the table on the Thursday night we came in. We ordered two specials and one item off the regular menu: caramelized scallops served over bacon and sweet corn, a pork loaf (house-made special meatloaf) sandwich with bacon and barbecue sauce, a warm potato salad, a lamb and feta burger with hops fries and garlic aioli. The food came out quickly, our server was friendly, interesting, and intuitively responsive to our needs (without being overbearing or neglectful), and the cocktails looked special. This a serious kitchen. This is exactly where you want to go for dinner. The food is so thoughtful: that pork loaf sandwich was absolutely one of the most succulent things I have ever eaten. The sandwiches came with house pickled onions. The potato buns are house made. The garlic aioli was house made and addictive. The warm potato salad (made with velveeta!?) was unreal. Even the bacon somehow tasted fuller, stronger, more flavorful. Also, everything is really cheap. My only complaint: the sweet corn the scallops were served on top of was cold mealy, rather than sweet and plump. The scallops themselves were sweet and plump. I'm not sure why this place doesn't have lines out the door. read more

Found this spot on Yelp. Great drinks, food and atmosphere. Street parking so come early read more

Went for a family dinner recently on St. Patrick's day. Also have gotten lunch before. Service was great, ambiance great too. Very laid back. I am surprised this place isn't packed all the time... I think the citizens of Lackawanna don't know what they are missing. Anyway, food was excellent - beer selection could be a little better but I wouldn't dock them a full star for it. read more

We enjoyed a wonderful meal last weekend. The fish fry was well cooked and the fries and cole slaw tasted very fresh. My only complaint is that some parts of the fish fry (oddly not the whole thing) were just too salty. That said, we will definitely order from Winfield again in the future. read more

What a gem! I've been in plenty of bar/restaurants or pizza/sub joints in sunny LA (they're all fine, but nothing more than average) , so it is surprising to find such a cool, hip place with excellent food. Upscale without being pretentious or expensive (reminds me a lot of my OTHER southtowns favorite, Brick Oven Bistro.) Lamb burger, pickled veggies, jalapeno bacon griled scheese with tomato soup for dipping - all were fantastic. Service was exceptional. My 1 beef is no draft beer. But their bottle selection is good & the bartender was knowledgeable enough to lead me in the right direction (Red Hook Pumpkin Porter is smashing!) Can't wait to go back. read more

Stopped in at the end of a long day driving after checking the reviews. Finding the place was a bit of a challenge since the sign was hard to see and the construction cones in the street prevented a left turn, but am glad we did. Good food and drinks and very pleasant staff made this a wonderful local experience. read more

Went with my wife for early dinner here and it was AMAZING! We had Grilled Cheese bits that was phenomenal. Poutine fries with Duck gravy, and cheeseburgers. Everything was very fresh and very tasty. There was about 7 other meals that I wanted to try but I went there looking for a burger. I will definitely go back to try the rest of the menu. I can't wait! read more

Nice little place - food was really good, took it to go. Had a lamb burger, which was tasty. The curry grilled chicken sandwich was also tasty. Fries were great, too. read more

My wife ordered the lamb burger and I ordered the fried chicken sandwich. We ordered the smoked brisket poutine and the fish tacos for appetizers. The lamb burger was ok, my wife ordered it medium but it came medium rare. She said she would give it 3 stars. I don't really like lamb that much so I didn't try it. My chicken sandwich was very good even though the chicken was dry. I'd still give it 4 or 5 stars. Their french fries are excellent, 5 stars. The fish tacos tasted really good, except that they were very mushy. I would've liked the cod to be fried and crispy on the outside, 4 stars. The smoked brisket poutine was one of the worst things I've ever tasted. The fries and cheese curd were good, but the gravy and brisket were really bad. The gravy was extremely bitter and didn't taste like it was salted at all. The brisket was very tough and chewy, not tender the way brisket should be. The poutine and the lamb burger are the reasons I'm giving them 3 stars. The service was good and people were friendly. I would eat there again now that I know what to stay away from. read more

We got into our hotel after 9:00 pm and didn't want fast food. I looked on Yelp for restaurants and saw Winfield's had good ratings so we decided to try it. There were mostly locals sitting at the bar and having a good time when we arrived, but the feel of the place was more felt like a pub than a bar. My husband ordered the veggie burger and I ordered the sirloin filet. I wouldn't describe us as "foodies," but we really enjoy good food and this place did not disappoint. It was one of the best meals I've ever had. Everything was fresh and homemade. The waitress was attentive and made us feel welcome. The guiness chocolate cake...lets just say we scraped the plate clean it was so good. I highly recommend this place and I'm pretty sure that when we're passing through Buffalo on our way to Canada, this place will become regular stopping place for us. read more

This was my second time here, the first being Restaurant Week. We came late on a Thursday night and were the only diners, though there were some people at the bar. I had the chicken pot pie and was very pleased. The salad that came with was fresh and yummy. The pie was full of big chunks of white meat chicken and veggies. It was a big dish, too. Had I not been so hungry, I would likely have taken half home. The husband had the Rueben and said it was good. The place is cute and the servers attentive. We had to wait quite a while for the meal to arrive, but that is likely because of the lateness of the hour and my pot pie's flaky topping had to bake in an oven. The one complaint would be that the drinks are not bottomless here. The iced tea was only $2, but there wasn't much in the small glass. Next time I will have to remember to also ask for water. The place is difficult to find as the storefront is very small and the sign is very small. The turn into the parking lot is extremely sharp and easy to miss. In the past I had the lamb burger and that was delicious. The place obviously cares about the quality of its food and making the flavors interesting. It is so nice to be able to get a yummy, healthy meal fairly late on a week night. I assume this place is big enough that you can also get in on weekends without a long wait. Why would anyone go to a chain when you can eat so much better here? read more

I would have gone 4.5 but the extra half star for the pleasant surprise that is Winfield's. Exterior looks like an old VFW/American Legion Hall full of old beer guzzlers BUT inside it is actually quite nice, quaint, nostalgic and a touch rustic. Killer cocktail menu and liquor selection, great high level mixology in a very unpretentious way. Home made cocktail syrups and mixers. Gastro pub is the right classification as everything on the menu was both comfort food but elevated in some way. Try the short rib noodle bowl! WOW! read more

Got done with my assignment last Friday at 7PM. Circumstances found me very close to Ridge Road. Yelp led me to Winfields. I am so glad I stopped. The Ridge has a diamond on its impressive brow. This Gastropub is really special. Keeping up with the Niagara Frontier beer revival an exceptional beer menu is presented. I went with Glimmerglass from Cooperstown. I decided to go with the NY Strip. Supposedly the best cut of steak and quite the safe choice. My waitress asked if I wanted to hear the specials, my response was positive. When she said lamb chops I made the detour and ordered the chops. In short order I was served my salad and very shortly the entree came out. Three thick chops on a bed Swiss chard, chick peas and cherry tomatoes. The kick came from the balsamic relish that dressed the vegetables. The chops were delicious and the bed of veggies was very tasty. I have been eating for over 66 years and this was one of the best meals I have ever had. Go to the Basilica, say a prayer that Father Baker is canonized then head for Winfield's Gastropub and eat like a Cardinal. Once that man is recognized as a saint and the pilgrims arrive you won't be able to get near the place. read more

Upon recommendation from a friend, we tried this Pub on Friday night. We waited at the bar for 45 minutes, despite two tables cleared and empty. This writer observed the bartender rearranging something down the back of his pants then mixing a drink without washing his hands. We were seated,finally, and watched,with 2 other couples, as people who had arrived after us, were served at the bar. Waiting another 40 minutes my husband went to the bar to pay our bill.He expressed our frustration and was told it was because our order was being prepared on the grill. The bartender commented that they didn't need comments like ours. Since we were extremely hungry at that point, we went to a restaurant that we are familiar with. We were welcomed and served within the first 20 minutes. Our food was prepared on the grill. read more

What a great little gem in an odd part of town. I have been dying to try this place and very happy I was able to. We showed up on a Thursday evening. They were not too busy, plenty of tables available, but we grabbed a seat at the bar. The bartender Tom was very friendly. They have a great beer selection and a great cocktail menu. Lots of creativity in their cocktails. We started with the grilled cheese bites as an app. The house bacon- what can I say, AMAZING! I could eat a whole bowl of that by itself. I ordered the chicken pot pie and the other 2 had ordered the turkey wrap special of the evening with KiKis potato salad. Everything was delicious. They have a great menu, it's not a huge menu, but there is something for everyone. The restaurant is very clean, the staff is very friendly and the food is great. Can't wait to get back and try more items on the menu! read more

It is four star ... I had cold fries, which is not acceptable, but the rest of the food was very good. We had for appetizers: burnt ends, corn fritters, grilled cheese ... all excellent except the grilled cheese was just OK. Dinners were burgers, chix sandwich, mac n cheese .... all very good and done to perfection. The sauces that go with everything are done well. I'm coming back. read more

This is the best Gastro pub I've ever been to! The outside looks like it's gonna be a tiny dive bar that's been here forever. The inside is big and has a great atmosphere....very friendly and feels like it's you're fave local bar even if just visiting. The food is awesome! Cheeseburgers are one of the best I've had...come with Caramelized onions and their homemade tomato jam. Mac and cheese and Kiki's warm potato salad are both excellent!! They have house made condiments: garlic aioli, tomato jam, beet ketchup, whole grain beer mustard and jalapeño mustard. Cheeseburger, Mac & cheese and small plate salad $13. They also make the the tomato juice for their bloody Mary's! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! We have been going here for over a year now habitually. Family run, meat is smoked out back during the day, fresh local ingredients (omg the goat cheese!) I can't say enough good things about this place! The veggie burger is my favorite (add their bacon and goat cheese!) and we also love the Kiki's warm potato salad which is one of their family recipes. You can tell they care about what they do and we're glad to go back week after week. read more

I was in town on business staying at a hotel in West Seneca and decide to order-in using Skip The Dishes. I ordered the Winfield Burger and added bacon. Wow! One of the best burgers ever. I got the warm potato salad with it and it was delicious. I would not, however, call it potato salad, but it was wonderful. I also ordered the Guinness Chocolate Cake. Let me be clear: I WOULD DRIVE IN FROM CLEVELAND JUST TO GET THIS CAKE. Save room for cake! read more

Great food and service. Plane was delayed coming into Buffalo and after trying to find something with the kitchen still open. Nice surprise! Food and was awesome. Worth the short drive off 90. Late night menu was better than most full menus. NOT your average bar food. read more
