  OK. So my husband are like the high road (me and my fancy tastes) and the low road (he and his distictly non-fancy tastes). Now this place is definitely more low road. Standard bar fare. Full bar.
  
  BUT I'm writing this review to let people know that they have 2 amazing concepts that really need to be more widespread around Cleveland: 1) a large patio and 2) free wifi. We went to three other places looking to grab a drink and utilize wifi--nuthin.
  
  Thank you Harry Buffalo. I will be back. I'll just eat a salad before I get there. :)

  I used to go to the Buff in Lakewood a lot and  it always had good food but often too crowded to hang out.  Then my friend told me a bigger Harry Buffalo opened in Parma Heights, so I checked it out.  Now I go there every time I'm in town.
  
  The atmosphere is friendly, the waitstaff is very nice to look at, and they always have awesome parties on Thursday nights.  It's usually theme night, I was there before xmas and it was totally packed with people dressed up in christmas gear, there was even, suprisingly only one, santa claus dancing throughout the bar.  
  
  The clientel ranges from 21-35yr olds, with a good mix of everyone.  There is definitely never a shortage of hot singles in there.  I'm single and I love hanging out in a place that has good looking girls and great food, that's the Harry Buff Parma Heights.  
  
  I've been eating at Harry Buffaloes around the city for about a decade or so and I've always thought it was never just bar food, they certainly have better versions of all the originals like wings(awesome), and burgers(but they use lean, tasty bison meat),  but they also have a wide variety of stuff.  A huge menu offers healthy salads, you can build your own with a huge list of ingredients or try one of their signature ones, I like the chopped bbq chicken salad.  One of my favorite items, although its health rating is questionable, is the Stampede Buffalo Chicken Potbelly, your standard buffalo chicken sandwich with spicy chicken, blue cheese, coleslaw, and french fries, only wrapped in a fried pizza dough.  I know, at first I thought it sounded ridiculous too, but it's pretty awesome!
  
  I do drink a lot there too, they have a great beer selection, a ton of taps at their big comfy bar.   They had a DJ the last time I was there, he was playing really good music all night.  Also, lots of tv's for all the games.  If I still lived in Cleveland, this would be a regular stop for me.

  I have been visiting Harry Buffalo every Wednesday for the past eight weeks!  Why?  Because they have been hosting an Idol Karaoke contest, which is a knockoff of American Idol.  My cousin competed in the contest and ended up taking 2nd place.  I'm writing my review because I have had extensive interaction with this bar and its staff.
  
  Service:
  Overall the service is good, but not great.  Sometimes, when the bar is very busy, the waitresses forget to push beer on the patrons.  The goal is to sell as much beer as possible right?  So I would expect them to sprint back and forth with beer.  Nope, they casually take your drink order and skip some people at your table as if they're not there...as if being a waitress and having to write something down is difficult.  I think they want to memorize your drink order so they don't have to write stuff down.  But when the place is packed and there are 8 people standing around one table, you can't just ask one dude, "What would you like" and then go fetch his order.  No, you ask everyone and write that stuff down!  Waitresses did it wrong and some did it right.  Strange.  
  
  Food:
  Only tried one sandwich and I don't remember the name of it, but it was excellent.  My cousin ordered the same sandwich almost every week and it was amazing.  It was very consistent, the taste and quality.  The fries are okay too.
  
  Atmosphere:
  On Wednesday nights, the atmosphere is great except for the second hand cigarette smoke.  The place is usually full (due to the Idol contest) and people are talking and drinking.  You can play board games like Connect4, Sorry, Uno, etc too!  They have one Xbox 360 available to play also, which is nice if you like Madden.  There is a full bar, full kitchen, plenty of seats, and an outdoor patio.  Since it is illegal in Ohio to smoke indoors at a public establishment, everyone smokes on the patio.  Smoking is my pet peeve, by the way.  So when people go outside to smoke in the partially enclosed patio, the smoke hits the ceiling and accumulates out there.  It doesn't drift away as it would in a roofless patio.  Here's the kicker, when the door opens, all the smoke comes rushing into the bar, filling it with smoke.  It's terrible!  It doesn't matter where you sit, you will wreak like smoke when you leave.  That's the biggest drawback from a non-smoker's perspective and an anti-second-hand-smoke advocate.  This is a bad thing.
  
  Additionally, there are plenty of flat screen TVs to watch the Cavs game or football on.  There is free Wi-Fi for you Internet surfers too!
  
  Overall, I would recommend Harry Buffalo, especially the bison burgers.  But if you don't like smoke, this particular location will bother you when it's busy.  When it's not busy, it isn't an issue.
