Local Kitchen & Beer Bar

Been a couple of times now and the food doesn't disappoint. Fries are worth the trip alone.

Best food hands down!!!

Good food and atmosphere. Mike the GM made sure everything was tip top. Highly recommend.

Great food, great service and nice bar selection

Interesting menu that is a little different

Great quality food. Atmosphere is very welcoming. The service made the experience even better. Server was very attentive and answered all of our questions. You have to try the Lobster raviolis they are AMAZING!!! can't wait to go back and try their brunch.

Local has a great atmosphere, friendly bartenders and wonderful food.

Uniquely fresh menu

Best margaritas in town

Nice beer options. Great freshly made food.

This place was a nice change of pace for what I usually see on Chippewa. The decor and ambiance was great, and it was a perfect spot for a pre-show dinner with my friend. We had a spot at a high top table, and the food came out pretty fast, and our server was super attentive, refilling our drinks anytime they were low. The place was loud, but it wasn't annoying- it as a nice loud, from a place full of life and people- and we were still able to have a conversation. We had a great times and I will definitely return. I recommend this place for those who want a quick, easy dinner downtown, in or near Chippewa, without the 'Chippewa-ness' of it all.

Stopped in here recently and had a great time. Only had a few beers and shots, but the service was good and they were very welcoming.

Delicious burger and great selection of brew.

Great place except when I google "Local Pub" it only shows me local bars relative to my location. 5/5 Pub, 0/5 Name

Great staff, food, environment, Atmosphere, and good theme. No complaints here

What a fantastic place. Beef on wreck on fleek. Seriously.

Decent food and good beverage selection.

Great food

This place is great it has all locally brewed beer super cool spot

I got the wings and they were outstanding! Crispy, light on the sauce, and served (heat) hot! You won’t be disappointed with anything on their menu..

Food was great, service a little slow but staff was attentive.

Excellent location and service. I love the bacon and avocado salad.

Food was good. The staff were great BUT service was slow. It took us an hour to get two appetizers. They were taken off our bill but the damage was already done!

Great location, great vibes, great food, drinks & staff. Also a pretty nice beer selection

Local Kitchen provided our volunteers for a Community Engagement event at Praxair with dinner. The Vice president who runs this event asked for me to specifically order the meal from you. Everything was delicious - the Tangy Chicken and Beef Marsala were a huge hit. Everything was hot and delicious! Thank you again for making me look good!

This was a great restaurant with friendly staff. Felt like a local before the first drink was served. Lots of beer choices.

Local Kitchen catered for our daughters first birthday party. The food was great, everyone kept asking us where we got it from! Kim was also very friendly and helpful when we were choosing the menu. I would recommend them to anyone!

Gnocchi are amazing!

Great to see good operators in the district. Owner cares...was nice to to meet him. Will be back soon.

Cool place with really good food!

Good beers, good music, good people. I like this place.

Local Kitchen & Beer Bar were fantastic to work with! Our office is located around the corner from the restaurant and we eat there frequently. Service is great - menu is unique and fresh. We had a grand opening Event last month and they catered for us. Kim & Peter were so easy to work with - it is obvious they have been doing this for many years. Food was great, service staff felt like part of our business family! I would highly recommend them! Will use them again for future events.

Good beer selection

Nice spot. Good food. Great service

Aye

Really good... Burger. Weck Roast beef. Wings. Fries. Beer... All Local

Excellent food! Price is very good compared to nearby restaurants. The beer and spirit list is decent and the staff is very friendly. Do yourself a favor and get the Rick James you won't regret it.

Great selection of pub food and brews! Staff was prompt and awesome and the poutine was out of this world!

Everything was amazing from start to finish!! The very minute we walked in we were greeted by a very friendly hostess who immediately cleared and wiped a table to seat us instead of waiting for it to be bussed (although someone was right behind her ready to do it). We were promptly greeted by our server. When we expressed that the table was a bit wobbly, 3 different people came over to adjust and make sure it was to our liking. The menu is quite extensive and everything sounded so delicious we had trouble deciding; great beer and cocktail list as well. The owner came to the table more than once, but it was spaced out enough that you felt cared about and not uncomfortably bombarded at all. The food tasted just as amazing as it sounded. Our server Tom was probably the best server I have ever had - extremely knowledgable about everything, super nice, and also very attentive without being overbearing. And to top it all off, their premise is as the namesake indicates - food and beverage as local as you can get. The owner really knocked it out of the park on this one. Staff, menu, and overall experience is definitely 2 thumbs up....if I had more than 2 thumbs they would be up as well. Buffalo needs more places like this! I highly recommend this place to everyone, and I will most definitely be back!!!! 👍

Great beer selection, Buffalo favorites and excellenymt daily food specials. Very friendly staff.

I used Local to cater the Buffalo Corporate Challenge for my company. They were extremely easy to work with and very responsive. There were plenty of food options providing a well rounded catering experience. The food came at the requested time, hot and fresh. Couldn't have asked for a better catering experience for a large corporate event!

Had lunch with a friend. Ahi Tuna salad was amazing. I love it when ordering a salad is such a treat. Beautifully presented with dressing on the side. Tuna was perfectly cooked and lightly seasoned. Wow! Owner Peter even stopped by to say "hi". Always an appreciated touch. Another amazing Buffalo culinary find!

The food is off the hook good. The beer selection is great and the manager Mike is super nice. Did I mention the food is fantastic? It's a must if your in Buffalo

Super Essen und Trinken! Dazu noch live Musik, einfach klasse! Hatten das Glück das ein Brauerei Event war und es kostenlos craft Biere zu probieren gab.

Guy behind the bar knew his beer. Ordered the wings and beef on weck combo - was very impressed!

Great food, nice staff! They have a happy hour for beers...

Our first time here. Staff, food and atmosphere are spot on!

Great beer list and great food. Love the Mac and Cheese and the Cuban sandwich.

Good draft beer list, decent liquor selection but the list is not up to date. Food is decent.

5 overall - good atmosphere, good decorations. 5/5 food - Ordered the nickel city mac and cheese (5/5). Delicious, good presentation. 5/5 service Service was very attentive, they refilled my drink promptly as I finished it, they were very polite.

We went on a Saturday night with a group of 8. They took reservations which is great. We sat immediately and our waitress came right away. Drinks were great, but the food was fantastic. A few people got the chicken stuffed with goat cheese and cranberries. I would highly recommend it. A few people got burgers and they said they were great. I heard great things about the bacon wrapped meatloaf. We also ordered 30 wings with 3 different sauces. I loved the black and blue! We will be going back

Delicious food ad great night painting with friends.

Friendly people, amazing food!

Great food and beer selection. When I visited there were 28 beers on tap, 20 of them were local.

The food was amazing! The blooming onion chicken was out of this world! So good. Received compliments from everyone on the meal, they loved it all! Every single person from Kim to the delivery men were so helpful and made sure that all of our needs were met. Would definitely use them again and will be recommending them to others!

Friendly staff and nicely rounded menu. Sports monitors are present but not overbearing, so you can also have a peaceful meal.

Good food

food and service were both outstanding!!

Spent the majority of my free time in Buffalo here. Amanda took very good care of my friends and I. Beer is somewhat expensive ($6.50 for a pint on average). Was worth it though.

Outstanding beer, wings, service, and experience. Everytime I visit Local, the servers/bartenders recommend great drinks and food off of the menu. Great experience and location for meals, drinks, and socializing.

Beautiful inside. Great beer choices and delicious food. Huge servings. Lovely staff. Very attentive.

Amazing food amazing experience !

Amazing food, great beer selection, rustic hometown atmosphere in the heart of downtown.

If you're looking for an awesome restaurant in downtown Buffalo, this is the place to be. Authentic Buffalo feel in everything from the beer selection to the ambiance. While I was in Buffalo for the weekend, my boyfriend and I decided to eat lunch here. I'm super happy we did because the whole intent of the restaurant is to emphasize the beauty and feel of Buffalo, New York. The draft beer selection is made up of 40 beers all within 40 miles of the restaurant, and all of the wood inside was reclaimed wood from an old local barn. The only reason I gave a 4/5 star rating was because I didn't realize my stuffed pepper appetizer would be as spicy as it was so that was a little difficult to eat, but the cheese and sauce were both so delicious. My boyfriend got the angus burger that he really enjoyed. I would definitely recommend the Flying Bison/Spot Coffee beer - it's incredible.

Food is the best I have had downtown. Good beer selection. Awesome bartenders.

Met at Local Kitchen and Beer Bar. Food was great! Zach our server knew the menu and presented the entrees and sandwiches with mouth watering descriptions. When you eat here be sure to ask for Zach.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Awesome service very welcoming and the food is great! The Bartenders are very professional and on point!

Local Kitchen and Beer Bar just catered a full-service event for us. Everything was exceptional from the firs phone call with Kim to the very end of the event! Kim was very helpful explaining all of our options in detail with pricing and letting us know exactly what we were getting from the linens to the plates and how much of each food item (I was worried about running out) We had plenty of food for all to enjoy. The food was amazing melted right in your mouth every bite from every dish had flavor, even the vegetables. The staff on-site and delivery and were all professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Infact I am now using them for all of our offices luncheon! Great Job!

Kim came up with the menu for us and it was perfect. The food was delicious and a hit in our office. I will be ordering from them again.

Local Kitchen and Beer Bar/Buffalo catering handled my wedding food/bar aboard the U.S.S. Little Rock at the Naval Park this summer and did an Exceptional job in coordinating the set up, apps, food and bar. They went above and beyond in communicating every detail to me. My guests all raved about the quality of food (esp. the beef on wick egg rolls) and service! Everyone was professional and attentive making my special event, just that much more special. Definitely recommend them!

Buffalo's Best has catered a lot of our corporate events and the food is always delicious! Our last event we had a lot of people in from out of town and everyone was thrilled! I highly recommend Buffalo's Best and the almond chicken is fantastic!!

We (party of five) stopped there for lunch 8-24-17 around 3PM. We sat at an outdoor table on a beautiful day. The employees and waiters were superb, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The reason I'm writing this is; I ordered a Cohiba sandwich, which looked good on the menu, even though I'd never heard of it. This was without a doubt the best sandwich I have had in months, maybe more. Everybody's meal and drinks were excellent! We have nothing negative to say. Nothing. We will certainly be going back to this establishment!

One of our employees parent passed away and we wanted to provide food to the family for the day of the wake. Well the food arrived hot, on time and everyone raved about it. There wasn't any food left over for the following day. The big hit was the almond crusted chicken. We've used Buffalo's Best in the past and will continue using them for our catering needs.

We had Buffalo's Best cater our son's grad party on 7/1/17. Kim recommended the Smokehouse chicken and people loved it! We had leftovers and served on the 4th and people were still raving! All the food was excellent it came hot, on time and delicious! Thanks again.

My family and I visited Local over the weekend after we had spent the day at the art festival. Tom was prompt to greet us and always made sure our drinks were full and we were satisfied with our food. He really made the visit special and memorable. We hope to see him next time we visit. Thank you Tom!

Kim pays close attention to detail and she is very responsive up to and after the event with reminder calls and follow up to ensure everything went smoothly. Our guests raved about the food - Chuck the delivery guy was thorough and professional. Would definitely use again! Thank you for making my son's graduation party memorable. We will be using you again next year.... Can not wait to try out the restaurant

"Kim made catering our corporate event seamless. Food and service was excellent! Highly recommend!!!"

We ordered the gold package for last Saturday. They showed up with the food a few minutes early, set it up, had plates, silverware, condiments. There was nothing lacking and the presentation was fantastic-the little signs stating what the food was and acknowledging gluten free etc., was icing on the cake. The food was phenomenal, everyone was impressed. Pretty sure everyone went back for second helpings and still we had food left over. If you are looking for great quality and quantity, fullest bang for your buck-Buffalo's Best Catering is the only company you need to contact!

Used their drop off catering service for an office lunch of about 80 people. Received MANY compliments on the food. The catering staff was very pleasant to work with, always responded to emails in a timely manner. The delivery driver was also very friendly and professional. We order catering from a variety of companies and the prices here were EXTREMELY reasonable. We are very much looking forward to ordering from them again!

Kim was great to deal with and did everything she could to help us meet our needs. Food was always on time and was very good. Plenty of options to choose from. Used Buffalo's Best Catering for 3 events this year and will continue to do so for any future events.

I used Local Kitchen and Beer Bars Catering for the first time for a corporate lunch catering and Absolutlt LOVED the food. Everything came hot and on time. The delivery mans was so nice and very helpful!! The Quinoa and salmon dishes were outstanding. I will be recommending you to everyone and can not wait to try your many other dishes!!! Thank you for making me look like a rockstar in front of my boss... BONUS!!

I just did a "skip the dishes" order and was totally blown away. I ordered the Grilled Apple and Goat Cheese Salad and an order of Chicken Fingers and Fries. Both were super fresh and totally delightful. Yum!

Went for lunch today and had the Sesame AHI Tuna Salad and it was awesome, cooked rare to perfection. Will go back as soon as possible. Service was attentive and polite, manager stopped by table to see how our lunch was.

We went there for dinner on Friday night. They accept reservations for two which is great. Got our table immediately. The food was delicious. We'll be back. Also had their food at a work function and it was excellent.

We used them for our Christmas party, and the food was amazing. Everyone loved it. Had the almond crusted chicken - to die for. Will definitely use them again, and am recommending them to others. Everyone was awesome to work with, food was early, and hot. Great job!

Kim and the team at Buffalo's Best are amazing! Our company orders from Buffalo's Best 2-4 times a month for everything from small executive breakfasts to 150 person lunches. No matter the group size, they are always accommodating to special requests, always deliver on time, and respond very quickly to any questions or concerns via phone or email. Aside from their great service, the food is absolutely delicious! I highly, highly recommend Buffalo's Best for all catering needs!

We were there for dinner several weeks back and the food and service was fantastic. They had a catering menu on the table so we decided to try it for a party we had today. The food was exceptional. Delivery was on time. Driver was friendly and food was delivered nice and hot! We even had left overs. Would highly recommend them!

We had a group of 10 of us come in for restaurant week. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic and came out promptly and nice and hot. We did have to wait a little bit for our reservation (every table in the place was full) which we did not mind because our guest were late and the hostess continued to update us on when our table was going to be ready (was only 15 minutes after our reservation) We ordered off the restaurant menu, which was a hard decision because there everyday menu items looked amazing. The Soup, Chicken and Korean Ribs and Parfait for dessert were amazing. We will be back to try the regular menu for sure!!

We had them caterer for our lunch and everything was amazing!!

We had lunch catered from them today for the first time! Absolutely AMAZING. Food was delivered on time, delivery guy was very polite and professional and the food was outstanding!!!! We will defiantly be ordering from you again soon!

Great Food, Great Service. First time hear and enjoyed the casual atmosphere and great menu selections everything from just a simple sandwich to a great salmon or steak dinner. Salads and Appetizers were to die for. Cheeseburger egg rolls very different and yet so yummy!!! Great Selection of wine and beer for everyone. Our Server was amazing!! Bartenders ere very attentive when getting our drinks while waiting for our table. Overall very happy with our experience at Local. Can not wait to come back and try some more of their menu options.

We were very satisfied with your services and the food was wonderful. I'm happy to tell you that we had several compliments and we were more than happy to recommend your company. If the need arises again, we would not hesitate to hire you without a worry! Thank you for making our party quite a success!

Outstanding beer, wings, service, and experience. Everytime I visit Local, the servers/bartenders recommend great drinks and food off of the menu. Great experience and location for meals, drinks, and socializing.

Kim makes the ordering so easy. The Almond Crusted Chicken and Asparagus Risotto are my favorite. They offer a great variety and Kim does a great job making sure we don't get the same food because we get their food at least once a week. I would highly recommend them for any catering.

I had lunch here with my girlfriends a few weeks ago and it was fantastic! I had to get back to work and was able to do so within the hour I had. The French fries are to die for! Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

We came here for lunch on a Monday afternoon food was delicious and service was friendly and attentive.

We had them catering our daughters graduation party of 150 people. The food and customer service were outstanding. We even had left overs that were just as good the next day heated up. People are still calling and asking where the food came from. Luckily they left menus to pass out. Thank you for making our event such a success

Finally got to this little gem last week. Very happy with the staff and the beer options. Finally a bar really embraces local breweries. They must have two from everyone and then also the bigger regional craft beers that we all love. Space is comfortable and spacious with a general cozy feel throughout. I was most blown away by the food. We got two appetizers only but the freshness and tastes were superb.

Great atmosphere and the local woodwork from a Clarence barn is perfect for anyone that supports local food/shops. The food was amazing and the portions are big enough so you have leftovers. Some of the sides are from the Broadway market which is a nice touch -locals supporting locals! There is a large selection of local beer as well.

We ate here for lunch and the food was fantastic!! So we decided to try here catering in our office for 65 people and the quality of the food was just as good as when we ate in the restaurant. I would Highly recommend trying them out for dine-in or catering.
