Magruders Restaurant & Pub

This is why I love YELP....My gf and I were trying to decide where to eat....I was in a burger mood but did not know where I wanted to go....I ended up finding this place through my Yelp phone app.....I read the reviews, and searched the menu.....I noticed that they had hand pressed burgers.....So we decided to give it a try.....

Well I have to stay I was quite happy with the burger I got here....It wasn't huge....Maybe around 1/3 pound ? But it was delicious...I got the cheddar bbq bacon burger.....The burger itself seemed of higher quality beef, and fresh.....While I did not get any taste of seasoning it was charbroiled and cooked exactly how I asked.....This burger also came with onion strings on it.....Overall a very good burger....I would say that this may now be my go to place for burgers when I am in the depew area......

It also came with what appeared to be hand cut fries...They were decent, maybe a tad undercooked.....

My gf got a turkey burger, and she said was so good she gave it a 5 out of 5....

She also got coleslaw which I tried, and I was also very impressed here as well....It was very fresh, and crispy....It had a great taste with tones of horseradish....It was also very creamy.....

We went here on a monday night....We could not believe we were the only ones here...It was normal dinner time....the place was clean....And they also have a dining room which is separated from the bar by a wall and large window....this really cuts down on sound from the bar allowing you to have privacy, and a normal conversation....

I'm giving this a solid 4 stars...Will be returning here for more delicious burgers....

Friends do comedy here every first Friday of the month. You should go.

I ordered chicken fingers and friends (4 fingers and fries for $7.99), they were juicy and crisp. Came with a side of bbq and mixed it with medium sauce for a kick. Fries were great! Just enough salt.

They have beer, wine and full bar. There are 3 Shannon's so if one buys you a drink make sure you know which one!

This was my first experience at Magruders, which we were checking out because a friend of ours was playing in their bar area. We came in before his set to get dinner and albeit we were eating a little later than normal, the dining area was pretty empty so we were seated right away which is a bonus for a Friday night.

Our waitress was very friendly and took our drink orders right away. I ordered their steak special for dinner which was small medalions of steak (honestly I'm not sure what cut it was or anything like that), resting on mushrooms and onions and served with homemade mashed potatoes. The dinner also came with soup and salad - not bad for 10.99! Two others in our party got fish fries and someone else ordered the chicken fajitas.

My steak was great - cooked perfectly and juicy. The mashed potatoes were alright, but they didn't wow me. They could have used some seasoning. I asked for my gravy on the side (something I've learned to do from previous bad gravy experiences) and I'm so glad that I did because if there was anything to really complain about it was the gravy!! I tasted a little before deciding if I wanted it and it was like drinking flour! Gross!! I would have been more pleased with a jar of regular ol' heinz gravy if they didn't know how to make gravy properly. :(

I tried the fish and it was pretty good. The beer batter could have been a bit more crispy however, and I did not try the breaded fish that someone else had ordered. The chicken fajitas were decent though the chicken might have been a bit overcooked.

Overall, our meal was decent. A few minor details but I can't really complain. The bar area where the live music occurs was divey, but that's a good thing in my opinion most of the time. They had a patio for smokers to utilize with an awning, which was nice since it was raining. Definitely had a family bar type of feel to it, and I would consider returning here....just no gravy next time. ;)
