The Griffon Gastropub

Looked up on Google for place to eat. So impressed with this place. Food was AMAZING and John our server in Niagara Falls was just outstanding. I hope he was a manager because of how knowledgeable he was in the menu as well as the history of the restaurant . He definitely added to our experience. Excellent!! We will definitely be back..most definitely!!!

One of my favorite upscale pubsThey have a refined menu. The food is outstanding. Recommend making a reservation but you'll love it

Energetic staff! Delicious food

Stumbled upon this restaurant and decided to give it a try based on the previous reviews. I must say, they have the BEST burger I've ever had in my life. Ordered the P&J burger (peanut butter and jelly). You can even decide how you want your burger cooked (like a steak). It was beyond delicious! We had a side of fries which had a cajun seasoning to them and a side of their famous mac and cheese which was very creamy and cheesy. The service was excellent and they came by to make sure we were topped up with our drinks, had enough napkins and made sure the food was okay. The interior was very classy, it's definitely not your typical looking pub. Prices were very fair too. Will definitely return again!

Cool gastro pub restaurant. Good beer menu and unique food options. Definitely try if you want a different spin on things

Great beer selection! Extremely knowledgable staff, local favorite! The beer is very reasonably priced. Fully stocked bar with high high end liquors of all types available... Uncommon! The food was well presented and delicious. It was hard to choose, we had stuffed potato soup as well which was absolutely a meal unto itself. Highly recommended if you are passing thru and want a great experience. Not a fast place. It is very busy and the kitchen does a great job with what they are making: food with love!

This place has excellent food and beer! Went on a Saturday night and the service was outstanding!! Highly recommend if you're in the area!!

Awesome food! I should have taken a picture, but the food was so good I inhaled it. Corn fritters... amazing. Game burger today was emu... delicious. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Visiting from out of town and found this gem. Friendly staff behind the bar (where we sat), food was superb!! Huge beer selection. I wish there was a location closer to the Albany area. I will 100% visit again when in the area.

I have been to this pub half a dozen times. It is always a must stop when heading to the falls. Their craft beer selection is always a delight. The exotic meat is something I usually can't resist. I mean, where can you go for kangaroo burger anyway? If you want a real experience ask if Rita is in and get her table. You shouldn't be disappointed if she is not there. It just takes the whole Griffon experience to a new level. She remembers everything, treats you like you belong there. And, like any good friend, gives you a good ribb'n between drinks and food. By far my favorite Niagara Falls restaurant.

Divine. Smoked Gouda mac and cheese. I think I died and went to heaven. If going on the weekend, call for a reservation. They're busy, but they have a full service bar so we just ate there. The bar is very comfortable to sit at. My friend had the baked potato soup. It was also excellent. I cannot say enough good things.

I visited this restaurant in the beginning of July and I had an excellent time. Their beer / wine menu is outstanding, and the food tasted really good. My boyfriend had the vegan burger, which he enjoyed. I had the turkey burger, which was a little messy but delicious. The presentation of the food was fantastic! I highly recommend and I will be returning.

Amazeballs! I had the game burger which changes daily. It was venison on the day I ordered and it was excellent.

Food is high quality. Very timely service even during peak hours. Keep in mind this location is much smaller than the Transit location. It does tend to fill up quickly. If you're willing to eat at the bar the wait may not be that bad.

Love the atmosphere. A bit loud but definitely a fun night out. Delicious food! Highly recommend the loaded potato soup! Beers are ridiculously cheap and many to choose from! We live in Massachusetts and which there was one closer to us because we would be regulars!

Wow amazing food. Just stopped in for lunch and the taco salad was amazing. So much flavor its unbelievable.

Recommended by our Hotel manager for great local eats. We liked it very much. Our server, a handsome man with a curly salt and pepper ponytail was wonderful. Answered all my questions, was very friendly and a super waiter. Thank you for a great meal! PS. I LOVE those homemade pickles!! Do you ship to Boston? 😍😁

Consistently amazed in all categories! I tried several different appetizers, entries, and beers. I thoroughly enjoyed every single bit and sip every single time! I sat at the bar each time and every bartender was very attentive and engaging. This is a must visit if your in the area

Okay, so this place was to die for! Very friendly and great service. The food was amazing! It was very quiet and lit perfectly! Their Surf N Turf Burger was super filling, although I had to deconstruct it to fit in my mouth! Roommate had the Caprese Chicken with smoked Gouda Mac!!! OMG is all I can say!

Fantastic food and atmosphere! Stopped here on the way home from the falls and was very happy! I ordered the special, Ostrich Burger, which was phenomenal. My husband's surf and turf burger was to die for as well. Fries were perfect too and great craft beer list! I wish I were local, I would be a regular!

What an awesome takeout dining experience! Every morsel bite was better than the one before. The best potato soup this side of Idaho, best side sauces and fresh crispy produce that had flavor. And impressive packaging that makes your product taste all that moe plus more. AND BIG CUDOS TO the Young LADY TAKING CARE OF ORDERS. 10 THUMBS UP TO YOU AND I KNOW SHE STILL HAD A BIG SMILE UNDER HER MASK 😷

Bartenders were attentive and knowledgeable. Great atmosphere, nice place to meet a group. Didn't eat this visit, but heard others talking about the good food. I'll definitely return to try some.

I think the test of any business is whether or not they have a consistently good product. I love the Griffon restaurants, but manage to go to one or the other, only a few times a year. Yet, the food is always great, and service is always fast and pleasant. I love these restaurants, but I always have to make reservations. They're busy!

Local and delicious. We didn't care for the corn nuggets but everything else was great. Crab dip and duck wings were tasty. Calamari was especially yummy. The pb&j burger was also a hit. I'm glad we were able to check it out.

The food, atmosphere, and service were fantastic. Highly recommend this place. The Kona steak was one of the best streaks I've had in a very long time. Everything had great flavor.

One of the best burgers I have had. Location is nicely decorated and clean. Staff was friendly and prompt. Nice selection of beer. Priced fair. Get away from the hustle and bustle of the falls and get yourself a great meal.

The food was AMAZING! We tried the sweet corn fritters, the PB&J burger and the chicken and waffles sandwich. So good! Friendly staff, good atmosphere and great food!

Excellent restaurant. Banh Mi Nachos was the best appetizer I’ve ever had. Such a beautiful combination of Vietnamese flavors in an unconventional way. The pork was incredible, so I would guess the Pork Banh Mi sandwich would be just as good. Also has the Beef on Weck, and I enjoyed that as well. Great beer selection and service was great. A must go for anyone visiting Niagara Falls.

A British type pub with really good food. Menu is not what I expected, pub food with imaginative twists, delicious Beef on WECK sandwich. Their homemade pickles are some of the best I've ever had. Great staff too.

Stopped in on an early Friday night. Empty tables but they say for reservations only. Luckily people were leaving bar so we ate there. Great selection of craft beers & food was outstanding. I got the baked fish wrapped around a crabcake. It was delicious and not too heavy but filled me up.

Spent our wedding dinner here!!! They took excellent care of us. The food was on point. Great prices. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Some of the best food I have ever had and the staff is great

Always a favorite! Must try mac and cheese! We come from Toronto to eat the burgers here! This time I tried the vegetarian burger, and it was truly delicious! Must try!

Took a chance because I needed someplace that was open late. Completely unassuming from exterior. The inside is gorgeous. I sat at the bar. I had the pleasure of trying to new beers... excellent selection. I ordered fries and shrimp. The portion was generous and my food came out very hot and fresh. I took home a heaping slice of chocolate hazelnut cake. It took me two nights to finish it... definitely shareable. Desserts from from a local bakery. I wish I could remember the name. The bartender was very friendly & offered suggestions on places I could find craft beer I can purchase and take home with me since I enjoyed them so much. I would definitely go back if ever in the area again.

Amazing service, food ambiance. We sat at the bar and both bartenders were amazing, recommended dishes for us to try.

Been there before, food is always amazing. Super wide selection of libations. Nice authentic English pub decor & atmosphere. Not cheap though, but it's good quality & a good quantity! Just one caveat, don't ask for a taste of a beer, & expect it to be free, you will be charged the price of one glass from a "flight". Did not expect that, so next time i'll just order a full flight & get my $'s worth. And i have to mention the amazing staff, even with all the problems that pubs & restaurants are having with the virus scare, --on St. Patrick's Day, they really did a good job getting their amazing food out to probably an unending amount of hungry customers under trying circumstances. It sounded like the kitchen staff was nose to the grindstone, but they were troopers, & the ladies running marathons taking orders & bringing them out we're 1st class. So a big thanks & much appreciation to them on a tough day!

We came here randomly and sure glad we did! When back in the area I WILl be back! Awesome food and great service! Massive portions you will not leave hungry!

Fun atmosphere. My service and food were both good.

The food was inventive and amazingly flavored. The service was thoughtful and intentional. I had the vegan spicy black bean burger and it was delicious. If I have a complaint it was a little dry but most bean burgers are. The condiments were good. The fries were phenomenal and I am a fry fan. We had the thai peanut hummus for an appetizer, it was phenomenal! The pairing of peanut and hummus is genius!

I've visited this place twice now with my wife, and we agree that it's the best restaurant in Niagara Falls NY. Entrees beat out the best steakhouses in Mississauga ON, though I found the dessert too sweet for my liking.The Kona coffee steak was simply out of this world. I can't imagine ordering anything else from now on, but I must resist the temptation and try some of the other things on the menu! My wife ordered the surf and turf burger both times, and it's delicious enough that she doesn't even fancy trying other items.

Great selection of food and drink. Our server was delightful and did everything to make our experience excellent.service was quick, but also attentive. My second visit here. The food is quite good , and the atmosphere is cozy and warm. Great selection of craft beers. Will be back!

Service was fantastic, great selection of beverages, delicious food. Will definitely dine again when I'm in the area.

Were to start so the place is amazing from the beer selection to the food. The surf&turf burger the best damn burger I've had also the pot stickers man that Asian sauce AMAZING. It is a must that I go there every time I go visit Niagara falls. Also the service there is amazing they will help you out with any questions or beer selection. Go there happy leave happy.

The food was delicious. The servers were awesome and the bartenders were very friendly. I love this place.

Fantastic food and great customer service. Our waitress was very accommodating and moved us to a larger table when she we were cramped. The burger was one of the best I've had in a long time. Everybody else, including picky in-laws, all raved about their dishes. Great beer selection as well!

We had two days in Niagara Falls and ate both dinners here. Why? Because it was so damn good. Wonderful menu selection the desserts will knock your socks off!

I had a great experience here. Went in not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised by the good service , good food, extensive beer menu. The hamburger i ordered wasn't just your average burger, it was one of the best I've had! Also the rootbeer baked beans were very tasty! Even the Nachos were done right. I would go back.

Second time here and didn't disappoint. It's a pub but with a very eclectic menu that seems to always land right. Had the staple pizza rolls and tried the Bhan mi nachos. Both were great, although the nachos could have used a salty element. They were a little sweet.

Great food and service. Nice atmosphere as well
