The Byrd House

I have been to this establishment over a dozen times and I have never been disappointed. Food is phenomenal with generous portions for the small price paid!! It is definitely a place to visit again and again! We try to only stop for one in order to go to other places and we always end up staying here and are always thrilled that we made the right decision!

Truth be told the food was good and the beer was cold, normally that's all I need to be satisfied with a meal. I was however, put off by both the waitress and bartender, There was a promotional offer of a free pint glass when you order certain beers,and my father, and avid collector ordered a qualifying beer for that very reason. After finishing his beer, he was told if he ordered a second the same offer applied. When our waitress went to get the next beer, the bartender came and took his glass, my father told her it was his to keep, and was told she was merely bringing him a clean one...and never returned, When he asked the waitress, she said we could get the glass directly from the bartender on our way out. She then walked over to the bar and made a comment to the bartender who laughed loudly "I know, he was so horrified when I took it from him!". Its just a glass! If he was only allowed one per person why not say so? Or maybe next time, wait until a customer leaves before talking about them. I just can't imagine going back after that. I can get bar food and cold beer at good price at a lot of other places sans the pretentiousness.

I have high hopes for this place..it's still early. However, we had a very disappointing meal there the other night. Stuffed peppers as an appetizer are huge in this area so you better bring it. What a shame! 2 over cooked, soggy, stringy peppers with little cheese and even less taste. You can put balsamic vinegar and greens on the plate and pretend that it's a great dish, but this is Buffalo..and we know better. Especially when you want to charge 9 dollars for them. The wings were small but actually tasted pretty good.
I think there is potential here, but work is needed. I would suggest doing what The Well did and ask customers for feedback.

Orchard Park needs a really good, comfortable place to hang out. I really wish this place all the best!!!!

Update 6/5.
I have returned to The Byrd House and had the improved peppers. What a difference! 3 big, perfectly cooked peppers with a much better filling. The bread on the side is a very nice touch. I also had the pot roast and that was excellent!
It is so nice to sit on the little front patio..it was just a wonderful evening! Much success!
