Discovered this place from family living in south Buffalo. Located off South Park in south Buffalo. Parking lot across the street and also on the street. This was the first request my daughter had as far as having a meal when she arrived for a visit. She has been living in Shekou/Shenzhen China for the past 6 years so not too many places there for good old Buffalo born wings. Straight from the airport on 7/5/17. Meeting up with other family-stepdaughter and her husband. This place is a typical casual, not fancy neighborhood bar/pub/tavern that also serves a limited menu of bar type food. Wings, chicken wings, fries. On a previous visit one in our party had the corned beef sandwich which he raved about. There is an area of tables inside and an area of tables outside. We requested an outside table shaded by a large umbrella. Note-you will not be seated until all of your party arrives. That was fine with us as we had some drinks at the bar while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. There is no A/C inside so sitting outside was the more comfortable option for us as it was a warm, sunny day. We ordered 30 wings-crispy, medium. An order of seasoned fries, an order of plain fries, and a single order of plain chicken fingers. Our server appeared to be the only one taking orders and bringing out the food so she was busy. At one point we saw the bartender deliver some food to another table. Even though there was a wait for our food it was worth it. Our server had told us there would be a wait for our food to come out and we were fine with that as our daughter's last visit had been Christmas 2016. Gave us time to catch up.When the food arrived the wings were done just right. Crispy on the outside but tender on the inside coated in plenty of sauce. Medium was just right with just that perfect hint of heat. My stepdaughter said her chicken fingers were done just right also. Can't decide which of the large plates of fries I liked better-seasoned or plain. The fries are fresh cut which adds to their yummy taste. Several cold beers topped off a lovely first dinner for my daughter's visit home. Cost of our meal which was more than enough food for the 5 of us was $71.30 without tip.

This a beautiful spot close to Lake Erie with lovely water viewing while drinking cocktails/wine on the upstairs outside deck. Ideal spot except for wires making it a somewhat obstructed view. Too bad food isnât served up there because not only lovely but quiet. Downstairs in the main eating area itâs a bit noisy and although windows with seats next to them, the view wasnât quite the same, especially since they kept moving the shades to protect those who didnât want the sun in their eyes, despite offering sunglasses for those patrons. We just wore our sunglasses because how often is that view available on a sunny Buffalo evening? The food was good, the seafood very fresh and tasty, sauces good, but the biggest drawback to this place is that the pasta is made elsewhere, and definitely stale compared to fresh house made pasta and risotto. And you really notice the flavorless stale pasta That really disappointed the four of us especially since early that week and the following night we ate fresh house-made pasta in two different terrific Buffalo restaurants. We also ordered the huge bruschetta plate and we did eat that all down. Pricy but decent.

Visited last night for dinner and drinks. The menu was small, but there were a few vegetarian choices which was great. We ended up ordering noodle bowls with tofu, salads, and frites. Everything was absolutely delicious. The beer selection was small, but perfect, featuring a few local choices. The bartender did a fantastic job with cocktails. There's a nice lot for parking. We will definitely be back !

Visited this gem this weekend for the 1st time. Our waitress was right on when she suggested the Sheffield dry rub wings. Lots of flavor and pretty good sized. All four meals we ordered were great. Portabella sandwich, grilled cheese sandwich, sausage hoagie and build your own burger....hand cut fries are a must! Just a fun spot with yummy food and well stocked bar. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

We went with another couple Saturday night. We ordered the stuffed banana peppers for an appetizer and they were very good. Three of us ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and had the tatertots with it. Those tots are delicious! The fourth person ordered the shepherds pie and I didn't hear any complaints from him. It looked good. We stopped at the bar and had a couple of beers. The people hanging out at the bar were friendly.

Upscale casual gastro pub. Chef and family ran and owned, including a house made menu with daily specials. Large selections of beers, craft beers, local wines and craft cocktails.

Wifields's Pub is a gem that will soon catch on. If you blink, you may even pass it on your way down Ridge Rd. It's a quaint remodeled old tavern from the 50's I'm guessing, but clean and inviting. The bar has it'scomplimentary bowl of home made potato chips for you to enjoy with a cold one and chat or watch some tv. The staff is very friendly, and professional.It's menue is somewhat limited but has some very good items that will warm your heart. A british style fish-n-chips, home made chicken pot pie are two that Ive had.My favorite is the fried chicken breast sandwich. A rare fare that is tasy and filling! I'm sure certain itemswill be swapped in and out on the apps menue as they move forward, due to popularity and demand. The "grilled cheese" or pork belly's are a good choice, but would like to see a more energetic apps choice.It feels like home and I think the best is yet to come.Parking in the back lot is challenging due to close quarters, and the street is a main route, but you will find a spot. Enjoy a nice craft beer from a limited craft offering, and indulge in their awesome desserts too!Give it shot, let me know how you see it.

Mess Hall ? Not like any I ever entered. Pleasant decor with good food at reasonable price served by pleasant staff. A definite stop if visiting Our Lady of Victory or the nearby Buffalo Botanical Gardens. A worthwhile stop if NOT visiting the forementioned.
