grovers bar and grill

good . . . but over-hyped.. like everyone else going to grover's, i was told that they had the best burgers ever. 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 agoodburger. just don't get all worked up about going there, and definitely don't wait three hours for it. you can get just asgooda burger at a five guys, if they ever come to town, and even applebees gives them agoodrun 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.

after a few visits really enjoyed the food, however..after visiting today. saturday july9th we were told grovers closes for one week once a year for cleaning. the menu would be limited as they would be using up any food the had left. appreciating whatgoodfoods they have we decided to stay until a very rude hostess was completely ignorant about the whole situation.. we decided to leave. and take our business elsewhere! we were completely appauled at her lack of customer service! it's unfortunate,as well they lost at least $60.00 from us! i'm very dissapointed to say the least. suppose we should have gotten her name and expressed our dissatisfaction to the owner. if i treated my customers like that i wouldn't have any! typical of the lack there of with customer service everywhere these days.

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 reallygoodburger. yes the place isn't that big and you do have to wait some time 30 min to get your table but their burgers are worth the wait. i send everybody i know to this place and recommend it too.

good eats,goodbeer and great employees. garlic parm wings, cheeseburger soup and of course the burgers, love 'em all but i feel like such a pig when i eat there.

awesome food. food was really reallygoodserve wasgoodand huge portions for low price.

only downside is, we went out as a family and they don't have high chairs so if you have a little child, it isn't an easy place to take them. we weren't informed of the lack of high chair until we were sat.

grover’s is not a large place and if you have to wait to get a table (like most of the time on weekends apparently) there is not a lot of room to stand around and wait.  the place does give you a relaxed,  comfortable vibe though and while it is more bar than pub, you could definitely take your family here.   the food isgoodand the place is cool. eet smakelijk!! grover’s bar and grill 9160 transit rd east amherst, ny leave a reply cancel reply enter your comment here... fill in your details below or click an icon to log in: email (required) (address never made public) name (required)

food to go. everything they serve is verygoodbut they're policy regarding to go orders is random and seemingly a decision that can be made by any overworked waitress or cook or bartender who typically behave as if one more burger is too much to handle

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. burgers and 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 verygooddinner and would come back again.

our waitress was so great. she was probably the most pleasant part of my experience. the bartender ignored us for agood20 minutes ... she refilled the regulars drinks without them asking before even taking our order. the food was good. my only complaint is they should have more than one bartender during a dinner rush

worst parking lot, andgoodluck getting food.. busy place, heard great things about it but this time i wanted take out, the person who answered the phone told me they would not take take out orders because of the time i was ordering. great way to throw away customers...

terrible. i must say the service here is horrendous. we had a large group that wanted to place a to go order from work, we decided to call grovers at 11 am (hoping it was before the busy lunch rush) we asked if they would be able to do a to go order for around 1pm (which would have given them plenty of time to get situated for the order) the rude lady that answered the phone then asked us how many would be ordering, we said there would be about 5-6 people. she then placed us on hold and came back to say no we cant do it. then we asked if there were more people would we be able to. she then proceeded to say were busy, we cant and hungup the phone on us.goodluck on getinggoodservice here!!!

can you say discrimination???. i have been going to grover's now since it opened 15-20 years ago. they havegoodfood and its close to home.my father and his golf buddies often ended up at grover's for their 19th hole and somegoodeats. so when my girlfriend from college came in for a visit one weekend, my dad recommended going there for a friday fish fry (apparently a buffalo thing). taking his advice we planed on starting out there for a bite, then out for drinks. when we arrived around 8 we sat down and waited for a waitress, after some time the bartender,an older female (owners and staff are all female) informed us that they were closed. now that was clearly not the case! it seemed to my friend and i, who were definitely over dressed for this type of establishment, as we were going on from there, caused a little bit of a ruckus with the local men at the bar. obviously we were taking some attention away from the bartender, who took it upon herself to deal with the situation in asking us to leave because they were closed. i was absolutely astonished, but considering i was living in buffalo and there are a gazillion wonderful restaurants,we found another place to go. that was years ago, and after many visits over the years with only minor incidents, last night after a meal,my friend and i were asked to "wrap it up" because they had people in from out of town who needed to be seated! i was dumbfounded as we left and started walking to the car. we had been there drinking and eating for hours!!! great way to treat your customers!! what makes this less of a big deal, is that it's a hole in the wall place,even after being redone. i get it, thats part of the appeal,and they servegoodgrub. basically your expectations are low. it's not like your being treated this way at a four star restaurant, none the less i felt compelled to write. beware if you happen to be an attractive young or semi young lady without your man, you're not welcome!!

over-hyped is an understatement. where to start? i moved to buffalo this summer and decided to try grover's as one of my first restaurants after seeing the triple d episode. we went in on a saturday after calling and asking about a wait time (which we were told was 5-10 minutes). sadly, 2 parties with more than 10 people arrived before we got to grover's. the wait time was claimed to be only 20 minutes, so we decided to stay. 20 minutes turned into 45 minutes before we finally sat (we told the manager about this later and the response was "sorry, but it happens."). when we went to order, we were told they were out of the cheeseburger soup, so we decided to try the burgers. we knew about the no seasoning on the burgers, but let me tell you, there is a reason that every other burger joint uses salt and pepper. the meat was incredibly bland (luckily i had crumbly blue and onions to add some flavor). also, my burger was $10, and came with no side. sorry, but $10 for a burger that has almost no flavor is a joke. i decided to try grover's again to get the elusive cheeseburger soup. i called on a tuesday at 2pm to get some soup to go. they were out again. i called back the following day at noon. i was told they don't give cheeseburger soup to go. confused, i waited another week to order. when i called again, i finally was able to get cheeseburger soup to go. it was good, not great, but definitely good. i will not be returning to grover's. there are plenty of othergoodrestaurants in the area that have much better food, at much better prices, and for far less hassle.

best burger joint around. heck one of the best burger joins in the northeast united states. come hungary maybe even split it. fish frygoodonion ringsgoodhave been several times and never left not happy. go when they first open or expect a wait.

read about this from food junkie's chronicle and decided to stop by at our nyc roadtrip. we got there just around dinner time and it was packed. we waited for agoodhour and we patiently watched the names being crossed off the waiting list chalkboard until it finally hit our's.
