The Griffon Pub & Restaurant

there food is sooooo good i cant stop eating it.... great place

Folks, run...don't walk! This place is THE true culinary and dining gem of Niagara Falls/Niagara County. This is the true definition of a gastro pub. This restaurant is the place to go for a top notch meal, all while still incredibly family friendly (even a family bathroom) and casual/relaxed. The interior is classy, well thought out, and just a refreshing atmosphere from the typical generic restaurants all around.

Beer! There are roughly 50 beers on tap, and there are quite a few you won't typically find anywhere else. An example, Creme Brûlée from Southern Tier Brewery. That is one of my favorite beers, which is not always available.

The food, is impeccable. For an appetizer, I ordered the glorious ultimate baked potato soup. This was thick, tasty, and well seasoned with sautéed garlic and chopped chives. It had a nice melted cheese/bacon top to it. For my main course, I ordered the Surf and Turf burger. You really need to see this thing (and yes I posted a picture). It has a perfectly seasoned and juicy hamburger as well as the best lobster/crab cake I have ever had in this area. You combine both with a nice, spicy red pepper aioli and fresh tomato slice, and this is one hell of a burger. It's so big I had to eat it in two parts. I was just fine with that, as it was that incredible. I chose the smoked Gouda shells and cheese as my side. It was $2 extra, but oh my god was it worth it. That is some of the best shells and cheese I have had. Combine everything for the most satisfying meal.

We had a great server with the perfect and warm attitude, and was very knowledgable when I had questions for beer and other things on the menu. It was clear she was trained properly and knew what the kitchen was cranking out.

All in all, if you want a cool, relaxed place to enjoy a good beer and top notch meal...GO! You will thank me.

So here's the deal... I had heard so many good things about this place maybe I just expected amazing....and I'll give you the idea and the menu screams amazing...delivery though not so much. Portions were soso on our calamari ... I loved the pepper dew deal....my scotch egg was pretty good- not the best ever, but lets be honest I don't run into scotch eggs often so I wouldn't have been so picky... but one egg for 6 and change is a bit intense. My husband liked his fish...my hardest critic -the 3 year old- dug the Mac n cheese (and we stole more than our fair share of bites as this was the ewwy gooey cheesy crown jewel of the visit). I was not overly impressed w the deviled eggs...they were a bit lack luster  w no major kick except the splashes of hot sauce. My tuna taco was the worst of the group. It more apply should be called a nacho as the shell was square and flat. Totally over loaded w coleslaw... very heavy ...shell thing broke apart in your hand.... not a win for me. Love the idea of fine dinning in Niagara falls... would try it again....LOVED the beer options!
