The Griffon Gastropub

Wow! What a great find. We stopped in after a hockey tournament this weekend and we were blown away with the fantastic food - this isn’t your average pub - you can tell it’s all the meals are carefully and thoughtfully made. Such great flavours, we all had to taste each other’s meals. Delicious! Think our group of 9 all cleared our plates. Shelby was a great server! We’ll be back next time we’re in town for sure!

Took my girlfriend on a date here, we don't drink but we love to try new places. We started with the duck wings and fried grilled cheese and it was amazing. I had the turkey burger and she had the pot roast sandwich and we both loved our food. Our waitress was very nice, we will be back for more amazing food

This was our second visit. On both visits, they accommodated a large (10+) group of us. Great staff! There is a bar area and a restaurant area. The food is stellar. I love the sweet potato fries. Our group had no complaints about the food - in fact rave reviews from 13 + year olds all the way up to adults. It's a lick your plate clean good. The variety of food and flavors is amazing. It's a must stop when we are in the area.

First time here for date night and everything was delicious, and our server was so nice. I got the chicken caprese which the chicken was so tender and the basil pesto/balsamic dressing was so flavorful. My husband got the wild game burger and the meat of the day was duck which was yummy and unique. We loved the the french fries as well. Drinks were good. Overall would definitely go back.

I'm incredibly grateful for not only the fact that there is a variety of both gluten-free and vegetarian options, but that they are very clearly labeled on the menu! I highly recommend the pumpkin bisque, in particular.

The service was great, as well! Isabella was friendly and very much on top of things!

I very much recommend checking The Griffon out for a delicious dinner.

Awesome gastropub. Employees were wonderful and put no rush on us for being out first time there. Got the Cajun fish and was excellent. Miami fries I thought could use some more seasoning. Tenders were good too. Haven't had any beers from Other Half brewery so had to get a couple of those to try. If/when we are back in the area would definitely go back.

Very friend staff, clean establishment, and great food. I had a wonderful experience. I got the Wild Game Burger. The game of the day was Ostrich and it was the BEST burger I've ever had! Very tender and flavorful. There is a parking lot, so no hassle of having to search for parking 😊

If I could give it more than 5 stars I would! Was visiting the area for a weekend and the food was so good, I had to eat there a 2nd time before heading for home (Pittsburgh). Chicken and waffles sandwich with a side of mac & cheese was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked amazing. Staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was lovely. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Buffalo area.

This is an absolute gem of a restaurant. Very much worth any wait time.

The food is excellent, made of wuality ingredients where much of it is clearly fresh. The menu is quite expansive, with options for all types of palates. I've yet to order something I've disliked.

Service has always been incredibly personable and attentive, from the hosts to the servers. Questions are answered promptly and accurately, specials are detailed and explained, and any additions are taken without issue.

Add to that that the decor is rustic and homey (and usually sprinkled with festive additions), and it makes a wonderful location to enjoy a meal.

It was my first time in East Aurora, very nice town feel. We just wanted something light after a walk. We ate outside and it was so nice. We had Greek Salad , just enough serving if you have a small appetite, the lettuce tasted like hamburger cuz its smoke grill flavor. I personally like the Greek salad there’s a crunch in every bite and came in huge serving. I asked for a box it’s a lot! I had dinner and lunch the next day. We asked for chicken for our salad but it was actually good even without the chicken

We make a trip to ellicottville every year and always stop in east aurora for viddlers and griffon gastropub! The food is always amazing, staff is attentive and nice! We came this year during their drink menu turnover, but on previous visits the fun drinks have been a key factor in our return!

We both loved our meals and drinks! She had the GF Mac and smoked gouda cheese with chicken and asparagus while I stepped out of my comfort zone and had the P,B &J burger. The service was great and restaurant just clean enough to keep the 5 stars. Our 2nd visit was just as good as the first. She enjoyed the Salman.

Celebrated my birthday here and everything was great. The drinks and food were super good. I had a great time! Will definitely go again!

My wife and I went here for our anniversary dinner, and it was an outstanding idea!!! Our server Jared W. was just amazing!!! Very attentive and yet not too much, had answers when asked, and great upselling skills as well, we'll get back to those in a min. To start we got the Banh mi nachos and duck wings...wow were they good, no great!!! The duck was just right and so tender and the wonton chips made the nachos so much better!!! For the meal we had the PB&J burger which was so big I could only eat half, what I did finish was the side of smoked gouda shells and cheese that Jared upsold me...and i am so glad he did, it was the creamiest ive ever had. The wife got the Shrimp po boy which was also very very good. All around Griffon Gastro pub in East Aurora is a top notch establishment and we will be back again. Also very good Covid-19 precautions!!!

Griffon Gastropub is amazing! We went on Mother’s Day, and I completely screwed up the reservation. The hostess was still able to provide us a table, even with my screw up. The waitress was very knowledgeable, and nice. The food was tasty, hot, and a large portion! I’m vegan, so I was thankful they had a few vegan options on the menu. But the guests I was with ordered an array of meat meals and raved about them. Lastly, The ambience is so nice!

The Griffin Gastropub is a must try if you're in the East Aurora area. Not only do they have so many beers on tap (that are always changing!) but the food is delicious and beautifully plated. The salmon tasted fresh and the mango salsa on top added a nice kick. My boyfriend got the gouda Mac and cheese which was amazing, will be ordering that next time! We also got the goat cheese balls and those were to die for! Our waitress was attentive and helpful. Will definitely be going back.

Had lunch here with a pretty big group. Had a cocktail, the duck wings and beef on weck. The cocktails were good. The duck wings were delicious, sweet, spicy and crispy. They had sesame seeds on top. The beef on weck was good. The roll was hard but it came with au jus for dipping that made it perfect. Fries were good too. Service was good for how big the party was. Would go again.

If you haven’t been to this place, what are you doing. You need to go now!!! The food was to die for, service was amazing, and the restaurant it’s self has such a different vibe to it. Kind of like a old souphall. The food was delicious wait wasn’t too long and the prices are pretty decent. Overall a great establishment and would come again👍🏽

Ps: menu is scannable and I left a picture of it below 👇🏽

Always delicious, upscale comfort food. I have been here several times and the food and service are wonderful.

Most recent we were able to sit outdoors at one of the tables in the newly expanded outdoor seating area. I had the GF Vietnamese pulled pork sandwich on GF baguette with sweet potato fries. My significant other enjoyed the PB&J burger with regular fries. Both meals were hearty and had fresh, high end ingredients. I am delighted that they always offer many GF option here and the staff is knowledgeable enough to talk to you about it easily. The candied jalapeños on the Vietnamese pulled pork were a fresh twist on their take on a banh mi and added some sweet heat to this sandwich. Griffon also has some of the best sweet potato fries ever! They are always perfectly crisp and are coated in their signature honey butter. I was told the burger was cooked well and that the flavor combination was unexpected but awesome. We enjoyed an adult beverage from their extensive beer and wine list.

Service was spectacular. I would say it was some of the best service I have had in a very long time. The gentleman who helped us was quick, attentive, helpful and very kind. Everyone was wearing masks and following protocols. There is a lot of indoor seating if you prefer or the weather isn’t cooperating. There were mobile plexiglass dividers at the bar to keep distance from other patrons.

Every time we come from out of town I always love coming here. The food and drinks are amazing. Highly recommended the chicken and waffles
