grovers bar and grill

ddd got it right!. guy fieri was dead on, theburgerswas fantastic.

burgers are good, but.... theburgersat grover's are very big and tasty but beware going on a weekend. the place is very small and the wait is long.

good . . . but over-hyped.. like everyone else going to grover's, i was told that they had the bestburgersever. because of this, i passed on a really amazing-looking fish fry to get a "cattleman," their take on a barbecue (cowboy) burger. it was good, don't get me wrong, but it was a burger. and i love a good burger. just don't get all worked up about going there, and definitely don't wait three hours for it. you can get just as good a burger at a five guys, if they ever come to town, and even applebees gives them a good run for their money. they get extra points for atmosphere, though, it's a really nice little bar.

i gave them a don't like, but it's more of a not living up to expectations than true dissatisfaction.

always solid. been going here for years. you'll have to expect a wait to get a table, just write your name on the chalkboard. theburgersare absolutely huge for the price, great, great value. since it was featured on tv, it's been even busier, which they definitely deserve! also have a great friday fish fry! takeout is a lot easier, especially if you call ahead to place your order!

love it every time me and my family go.. i love this place me and the family go their at least once a month cause its one of the best places to go and get a really good burger. yes the place isn't that big and you do have to wait some time 30 min to get your table but theirburgersare worth the wait. i send everybody i know to this place and recommend it too.

amazing burger!. groverburgersare the bestburgersin the area. the only downside to going is that it can take a long time to be seated if you go at dinner time. theburgersare huge and always cooked the way you want them. although the wait can sometimes be long, and paying in cash can be annoying, the food is well worth the wait and the hassle.

i saw grover’s bar & grill out of east amherst (buffalo) new york on diners, drive ins, and dives a couple of years ago. the big draw during the episode were the gargantuanburgersand their trademark cheeseburger soup.

great burgers! great beer! what more do you want?. we came here forburgersand beer and everything was great! theburgersare huge and very tasty and the local beer was great!

eet smakelijk!!

awesome burger. edit: apparently grover's now has an atm inside their restaurant. this is better than not having one, but they should still be working to accept credit cards so guests don't need to withdraw cash (and the related fees that go with that).

grover's is a neat little burger joint. the menu is very limited to basicallyburgersor typical fried fare, which they do well. this is a very casual and laid back kind of place.

we all ordered burgers, which were monstrous. the toppings were good, burger was cooked right, meat tasted fresh, buns were fresh. overall it was one of the betterburgersi've had in buffalo, but the big attraction is probably just the sheer size of them.

the bar had a lot of drink offerings, i had a guinness.

the service was pretty good, a little pushy but that's probably because it's such a small place and they need to turn tables quickly. overall not bad though, server was friendly and got everything correct.

i have two main complaints, and they're big ones:

first, they only accept cash and they do not have an atm on site. in 2014 this is just crazy, and a massive inconvenience for a big portion of their guests i'm guessing. they really need to step it up and accept credit cards, or put an atm out front/in the bar.

secondly, there's no hostess. the way to get on the waiting list is through writing your name on a chalkboard, which isn't intuitive for first time guests. also, you sort of have to stand around the board to make sure someone else doesn't just grab your table if you're up next. this is something guests shouldn't have to worry about when coming to a restaurant to spend money to eat. again, step up your game grover's, hire a hostess, and let them mitigate the seating. don't make it a free for all.

overall it was pretty good, i'd go back but the limited seating capacity, inability to accept credit cards for payment, hectic seating process, and limited menu are definitely deterring factors though.

review on grover's. went to grovers in a group of seven people on a saturday at 2:00pm. wait time was only a few minutes which i thought was great! place is very small, but we sat at a table that was near a window away from the bar. seemed to be the best seat in the house, but the only issue was that there were lots of people meandering around waiting for a table. service was very good.burgersand soup were good, but not quite cooked to our specifications. at the end of dinner, we had wanted three bowls of soup to go, but were told they were too busy to get that for us. i took it as the waitress not wanting to help us out, after all, she had already received her tip from us! the other negative was that they don't take charges and don't readily advertise it. they advertise that they are handicap accessible, but it sure doesn't look like it! overall, we all had a very good dinner and would come back again.

great food. the bruiser is delicious, the cheeseburger soup was great, and theburgersare huge and the price of the food is very reasonable. will be going back. had a little bit of a wait time, but once you're seated, the food get's there quick.

best burger ever!. i grew up in east amherst and always thought of grover's as kind of a biker bar. obviously guy fieri's review catapulted this little restaurant into super-stardom, though it was becoming popular even before his review. i've wanted to go to grover's for many months, but it's always packed so i've been waiting for a slow night. (doesn't happen very often.) well, it happened the night of my birthday, and what a great suggestions my husband made to go there for dinner. it's very close to home and it was going on 8, so it was already pretty late. we arrived and sat down immediately, there were plenty of tables. i liked the hunting lodge atmosphere and it has that hometown, casual bar and grill vibe to it. i ordered the bacon and blue burger and a sam adam's seasonal. the beer list isn't extensive, but i was happy with the sam adam's. i ordered the burger medium rare, which i recommend if you want a juicy burger. the burger itself was huge and perfectly cooked. it came with a crisp, fresh, green lettuce leaf, juicy sliced tomatoes, white onion slices (vidalia?) a ton of blue cheese, and crispy bacon on a large, tasty roll. i like that you can order a burger here rare or medium rare. many restaurants won't serveburgersthat way due to e. coli scares. anyhow, i was willing to take my chances and i'm so glad i did! the burger was absolutely delicious! it has to be the best burger i ever had. for reviewers who state that the meat is unseasoned, there areburgerswith cajun seasoning and so on if you prefer. i however preferburgerswith less seasoning because i think that too much seasoning takes away from the taste of the burger instead of adding to it. i was also surprised that we didn't have to wait very long for our order to arrive. my husband had the bacon and swiss burger, which he said was delicious, and we split a basket of fries. very tasty with malt vinegar. our waitress was courteous and friendly, so overall a great experience. you could probably duplicate theseburgersif you really wanted to using fresh ingredients and grilling the burgers, but with two feet or more of snow on the ground, were not going to be using our bbq grill anytime soon, so this is a nice alternative. if you love a great burger and a small local bar and grill atmosphere, then i highly recommend you try grover's.

doesn't live up to the hype. was really excited to try this place considering its appearance on the food network, however, was pretty disappointed. theburgerswere large, but felt like they lacked taste. sorry, but it is not enough to just make a patty out of unseasoned hamburger.

beyond terrible service overshadowed they decent food. i had very high expectations and waited for almost an hour in the super packed place for the promise of amazing burgers. but really all they have going for them is that the patties are huge, other than size theburgerswere nothing special. we also got the fries and onion rings, and again both were just okay. the waitress had little to no interaction with us, she got us refills and that was about it.we asked the waitress to split the bill, she threw a fit, not exaggerating. she got snippy and told us that we should've told her ahead of time and then said that maybe after she's taken care of her tables maybe she will have time to do it (in a super rude tone). oh they also only take cash, so we just rounded up our bill (left maybe $1 tip) and walked out.
she came out after us and tried to confront us!!!!!!!!!! i was blown away, she literally came outside of the restaurant to yell at us! i couldn't believe it. i am not one to not tip, but the way she treated my husband was rude as hell.
