I had a really great lunch experience here. It wasn't too busy, mainly because there weren't any sporting events happening at the time. Our group sat in the bar area where they had the windows open and a nice breeze. Our waitress was also friendly and helpful when I needed help deciding what I wanted. I appreciated the variety on their menu. I was with a group of diverse palettes and we all found something that we liked. I was also impressed with their attention to special diets such as gluten free, paleo, and vegetarian. As a vegetarian myself, that was a big plus. I ordered a Santa Fe Buddha Bowl, which is basically rice bowl toped with veggies and your choice of protein. It was delicious and had lots of flavor. Definitely not something I would expect to eat at an American cuisine restaurant. My one friend ordered their chicken quesadilla and said it was probably one of the best she'd ever had. It was stuffed with banana peppers which was a unique touch. Another friend ordered the BBQ pulled pork sandwich which was more Asian style BBQ, so very sweet. Summary: Great food and great location. I would love to go back on a game day and check this place out when it has the sports fan energy buzzing through it. Definitely another Cleveland favorite.

This is one of probably a dozen or more pubs that have opened up in the Gateway District of Cleveland around the athletic centers...roughly one or two blocks from Progressive Field (home of the MLB Indians) and the Quicken Loans Arena (home of the NBA Cavaliers). That said, this is also a nice pub house. The large picture windows open up and in good weather you have the breeze floating through on the tables that are in the windows. Two sides to this pub...and each one has a bar that can serve it up. The Harry Buffalo is a franchise operation with many outlets and this is a perfectly situated one. We had 3 lbs of wings (these were very nice and tasty...if you got the sauces on the side you'd notice that there was a nice flavor even without saucing it up) and a buffalo chicken mac n' cheese bake (very nice...tasty and just the right amount of zing). We finished with the plainly named cookie which belies its goodness (this was more like a fresh brownie cooked right in an individual pan and served with a scoop of ice cream and two sauces - you eat it right out of the pan)...this was decadent. Beer flows here...many on tap and loads in bottle. Whatever you drink you'll undoubtedly find it here. We were here the night they had the RNC debate in Cleveland at the Quicken Loans Center so there were tons of suits and security around...made for an interesting event. All in all a good pic when your are looking for a brew or a bite to eat on the way to the Indians or Cavs game (or a debate).

Had the Harry Burger on regular bun with fries. My brother got a steak sandwhich, and his gf got a Mac and buffalo chicken sandwhich. Mediocre At best for taste, good waiter, and right in the entertainment center. Great place to walk around on a Saturday. We had done a lot walking, shopping and searching for food for a while so we had hit this place and one person from our party did not want to eat at Franks Brotwurst. (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) from the market.
(3)Mark B.
Great food and service at lunch time, and it is reasonable on the wallet

Rude service. Will not go back. I've been to a Harry Buffalo before so when my friends and I were in Cleveland, I suggested it. We went in and were greeted by a sign asking us to seat ourselves. We sat at a round table in a corner. A server came up to us and without saying "hi" or introducing himself, asked us how many were in our party. When we replied "three," he proceeded to make us move to another table as that particular one was reserved for parties of five or more. It is also important to not that upon approaching our table and interacting with us, he was chewing on food. He proceeded to take our drink orders, still without actually greeting us or providing his name. He seemed burdened when he realized we needed menus. The menus provided were wrinkled and wet. They were disgusting. When he delivered our drinks we asked for a few more minutes to look at the menu. Upon his return, he stood by the table and stared at us. Did not check for understanding, did not ask if we had questions. Nothing. We placed our order and waited. He went to a table a few down from ours and sat down to finish eating. Our food was delivered by a different person. She didn't ask if we needed anything. I had to flag our server down to ask for sauces. He did not check to see if we liked our meals. My friend had to ask for another drink multiple times. When we finished, he cleared away our plates and walked away, again failing to ask about our meals. He came back a few minutes later to see if we wanted the check. After my friend paid, there was no "thank you" no "come back" nothing. He was so rude. Not one worker in the entire establishment was smiling or friendly. Our server, whose name is Mike, was apathetic. Overall, the burgers were decent. Skip the buffalo chicken mac n cheese sandwich. It's mostly mac n cheese between two pieces of toast. Gross. This restaurant experience was awful. Based on this, I will not go to another Harry Buffalo and would not recommend it to anyone.

Open and airy, just want you want for a bar in the summer, waiting to head to the game. Plus, a great tap doesn't hurt! I was excited to try the new Summer Shandy in grapefruit and it did not disappoint. I also tried a beershot for the first time. Those are some marvelously tasty things. And dangerous I imagine with a few of them, so be warned! But they were on special, so we had to take advantage, right? Didn't have the food, but what was coming out (stacked burgers and a plate full of waffle fries) looked great.
(4)Alisia A.
This is a place I normally want to stop in before, after or during a game. It's nice that they are so close to all of the fields (minus the browns) and I like that they can open their windows so it has a great feel. It's definitely a bar bar, like I wouldn't go here just for dinner. The food is not bad, I usually get a salad or sandwich with a cold beer. I've had their french onion soup before and it was incredibly salty for my taste and I like salty foods. Overall, great bar to watch a game at or catch a beer (or two) before or after a game.
(3)A'Lia M.
If you want to watch a Cavs game this is the place to do it. I really believe the best fans are here lol. The beer is cold and the servers friendly. The fans though are awesome. They do cheers and chants and boo when appropriate lol. It's definitely beyond packed on game days so make sure you get there early or wear those ugly yet comfortable shoes.

Harry Buffalo - a familiar name with a familiar menu and the occasional familiar face. PROS *The food was better than I expected. Granted, it is bar food and I was expecting a mediocre meal, I was still pleasantly surprised by the truffle fries I got. It was light on the truffle, but the spices and dip it came with added some kick to it. They were waffle fries (not my fav, but they were okay) *Great atmosphere for pre-gaming and sports watching. We came here on a night when the Cavs were playing at home. We came as the game-attending crowd was leaving to go to the Q, otherwise it would have been hard to get a table. The open windows and casual, Cleveland mood makes this an inviting place to grab a beer with friends before heading to a game. Not to mention, this is a great location to hit up before a Cavs or Indians game, because of it's proximity to the arena and field. CONS *The wings were nothing to write home about. They weren't overbreaded, which was nice, but I thought they were lacking flavor. I may have just caught them on a bad night, since it was a little crowded when we were there. Also, I was upset that 10 wings was the minimum order AND I couldn't mix flavors. *As I mentioned above, it's a popular place to attend before games, so it can get crowded. Any time I've come during a peak hour, the service lacks hospitality and attentiveness, but I suppose with good reason. BOTTOM LINE Grab a bite to eat or beer to drink to celebrate Cleveland sports, just make sure to get there early enough to grab a seat or late enough so the departing, game-attending crowd creates some space.

Stopped here when going through Ohio. We were seated immediately and the waitress was attentive. The place is louder then it needs to be, I think they were trying to be something they are not. But it is a sports bar. Now on to the food! I got the Buffalo dip and a side salad. This salad was very very good and had yellow peppers and Parmesan on it, which was a first! Their ranch dressing is this is very good as well. The Buffalo dip was horrible it was served with celery, why would you put celery in the base if you get celery on the side? To me it ruins the taste. My wife got chicken strips and fries and she said the chicken was really chewy. My mother in law got a soup, and it was not the warmest. The service to me was pretty good, but the food is why I come to a restaurant. They definitely need to turn down the music a little bit. You know that's something when a musician says that :-) it just was unnecessary loud. Maybe there are better things on the menu but for now I give it 2 stars.
(2)Marla G.
Great buffalo dip!!!! Definitely recommend this before indians games. The service is great and it's a nice view.
(5)Tim S.
Pretty solid waffle fries and bison burgers were good, overall good vibe nice service , I will be coming back
(4)Jay S.
This may have been the best bison burger I have ever had. It was tender and juicy and perfectly seasoned. The only thing keeping this place from having a 5 was the service. After our server took our order we did not see her again until it was time to hand us the check. That was a disappointment as my wife's sandwich was not delivered as ordered and we could not get anyone's attention to help her.
(3)Melissa D.
I want to give Harry Buffalo a four star review simply based on the fact that I've dined here multiple times in a week and it's tough to find a reasonably priced bar food and beer locale downtown. Does the food deserve a 4 star rating? Depends on your taste, I guess. If you want a gourmet meal, then go elsewhere. If you want classic comfort bar food with no thrills then this is the spot. I will start by saying that I do not come on game nights, only when it's not too crowded. I live down the street so it's easy to plan this. I'm sure there are people who would only go there on game nights because of proximity to the Q. Service is much better when it's less crowded and I enjoy talking to many of the bartenders. The pita nachos are by far my favorite item on the menu - cheesy sauce and melted cheese over deep fried pita with tomato, scallion, and banana pepper topping. So comforting. The sandwiches and burgers are the other items worth trying. Burgers can be beef or bison and cooked to order. I really like the Cleveland cheesesteak sandwich - thick, crispy italian garlic bread and every bite is cheesy and with thick strips of steak. Decent wings as well, I actually prefer the boneless garlic buffalo parmesan. Beer options are pretty limited but you can usually find a good ipa or local beer on tap. Doesn't matter though because why would you get anything aside from the cheap $3 beer of the month special :)

We went to Harry Buffalo for lunch on New Years Day. It wasn't too busy (since most people were probably still in bed). We were seated near the window, and unfortunately that meant that it was really cold at our table, almost uncomfortably cold. Anyways, I ordered a burger there with fries. When I ordered the burger, the waitress asked us whether we wanted chips or fries, and failed to mention the fries cost extra, which is a huge pet peeve of mine. That being said, our food was delicious and the fries (waffle fries) were perfectly crisp. The service was just mediocre but not enough to really damper our visit.
(3)Bill H.
Great service by Jillian That's what you look for with customer service! Sweet potato fries were awesome and great daily specials
(5)Chris L.
Great service and great bar food. Buffalo chicken dip was great. It had big chunks of grilled chicken covering the dip. The pita chips for dipping where huge! I'd recommend the Cajun ranch chicken wings which are most likely the best I've ever had. The beer was cold and tasty. What more could you want?
(5)Kaitlin D.
This is the most stressful place. I came during a big event, so I know that that really just added to the chaos, but there's something about "Harry Buffalo" that just screams not my kind of place. The only good part I could find about it was the chicken fingers. Our waitress messed up our order--she was frazzled and probably not paying as much attention as she should have--so we only got one dish between two of us, but it worked out fine. I would probably order that chicken to-go again, but I highly doubt I'll ever return for anything else.
(1)Shalin C.
OMG! I love this place!!! We were in Cleveland to see a Cavs game and were staying at a hotel down the street; walking around on a cold, windy, rainy night we stumbled into the Harry Buffalo starving and I'm so glad we did. THIS WAS THE BEST BAR FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD; and that's really saying something as I have eaten a LOT of bar food. We ordered an appetizer that had ribs, buffalo wings, and boneless wings - all were delicious and perfectly cooked! I know, a lot of people are saying to themselves, "how hard is it to cook those things?" and I would say... I have ordered these items MANY times at other bars and have been sorely disappointed. Next I ordered the fried egg burger and my bro got the fried fish platter - my burger was PERFECTLY cooked! more importantly, all of the fixings made the burger better and fit together. The burger was reasonably easy to eat (not totally sloppy like so many other burgers) and just the best burger I've ever had. My brother raved about his dish also. In addition to the awesome food, our server, Nathan was the best! He was super friendly, patient, accommodating and prompt. We ended up talking Cleveland sports with Nathan for quite a few minutes and left with our bellies and hearts super satisfied. If I ever am lucky enough to be back in Cleveland for another Cavs or Browns game I'll be sure to return to the Harry Buffalo. One of the best meals I've had.
(5)Kirk W.
Good paleo choices: bison burger with boiled broccoli for side dish. Service ok, but only one server for one entire room. Was advised to sit at bar if I wanted to eat sooner, which I did and all was well.
(4)Sondi A.
party of 8. Highlights included my salad with fruit & nuts and the truffle fries. Everything else was basic bar food.
(2)Heather M.
Stopped in here while visiting Cleveland. Food was good and so was the service. Bison Chili is very yummy. My hubby got the wing and rib platter. Very nice plate of food for the price you pay.
(4)Lauren K.
I stopped here briefly. The bar tender poured me a beer made by Great Lakes Brewing Company. I spoke of my journey. He spoke of his. This does not happen on the east coast where people are often devoid of meaning. The beer gets 4 stars. I hope I can find it in NJ. The bar tender gets 5. Safe travels new friend.
(4)Adam V.
Ate at their Lakewood location (which wasn't an option on Yelp), and the food and service were awesome! My wife and I both had their buffalo burgers, fries and New England Clam Chowder. Unlike most restaurant's clam chowder, theirs didn't come out watery -- it had good sized chunks of clam. The buffalo burger was awesome, and cooked to perfection. And their fries were to die for -- whatever the seasoning is that is used was fantastic. Highly recommend!
(5)Natasha S.
Very good service. I stopped by for lunch on a fairly quite day, ordered the Mac and cheese side and didn't enjoy it at all - when the waitress came by to pick it up she asked about it specifically since I had barely touched it compared to the rest of the food. I mentioned it wasn't really what I was expecting (it was weirdly sweet and not very cheesy) and she comped the side when she brought the bill without any questions. Was very surprised and appreciated the notion.
(5)Lauri S.
Went to grab lunch today. I will never be back. Only 2 other tables seated so it was not busy. We were greeted by a waitress walking by and literally tossing 2 menues on the edge of the table and said,"I will be back". I should have known to leave. Well we waited for about 10 minutes.. 3 waitresses in the area sitting and eating. Finally we ask to please take our order. It took 20 minutes! We only ordered tacos and fries. Food arrived. We had to ask for silverware and napkins. We asked for mayo, it was .50 for 2 tablespoons, I just spent 25.00 on tacos and she said it would be to cents for mayo. Crazy stuff. We had to interrupt the waitresses and ask for our check. We were the only guests in the place. Bathroom was filthy, only one sink had a faucet, the other sink was just missing a faucet??? Terrible service.
(1)Marlon B.
I went into Harry buffalo on taco day. It was my first time in and I'm going to have to say it was at best average. The bartender was good but the amount of time it took to bring out 5 tacos for our group was a bit much. Plus the fries and tacos were both brought out a little to cold for my liking. All in all I'll have to say it's your average bar food based on the tacos I ate and the service of one group of workers. I will definitely go back and give them another chance and further explore there menu.
(3)Milos G.
Been living downtown for the last decade at this place has always been on point. Food is great, service is great. Just hit the place up on a Tribe gameday and it has everything I want in a bar. Our server today (Kelly) was amazing.
(4)Adam G.
We stopped in with a group of six after a show. Few seats at the bar but several tables open. We sat at the tables and were rudely asked to move to the bar. Now leaving to find friendlier service. Don't piss off customers willing to spend money on several rounds of drinks if the place is dead at 9o'clock on a Saturday. We will spend our money elsewhere.
(1)Ronald S.
pros: big beers, friendly waitress, ok menu with limited veg friendly options (it is a buffalo restaurant i guess what should i expect?) if you are headed to a game and want a beer, the Buff is a good stop.
(3)John N.
We stopped in for a drink because it was the one place on 4th Street that wasn't crazy busy- and for good reason. I can't remember the last time I've been treated so shabby. Happy to spend my money elsewhere guys.
(1)Matt G.
Our text message came through saying our table for 9 was ready. Unfortunately, the wait staff gave our table away. They claimed that it was the fault of the new system they just got. A few guys in our group mentioned that the bathroom was flooded and dirty. Our server was attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure our drinks were filled and that we were taken care of. She suggested some entree choices for many of the first timers, including information on bison burgers. She recommended a doneness of no more than medium. Well, when I got my bison burger, it was way past medium. Don't expect a great dining experience. Standard pub fare and cheap drinks are the bread and butter here. If you're not overly particular, you'll have a good enough time.
(2)Mia G.
This place is degrading and filled with underage teens. While standing waiting for my friends a random waitress came up and literally took the drink out of my hand saying I had too much, as I'm standing there not saying a word to anyone. I understand if I'm starting a fight, or asking for another drink as I'm falling over then you can refuse to serve me, but to take a drink out of my hand ? I'm 24 years old minding my own business, while there are underage teens throwing up in your bathroom and you decide to pick on me, degrading. I've served before, I always tip more than 20%, and I'm very understanding when it comes to costumer service, but what happened last night wasn't right. Hire some better staff that actually know how to deal with costumers, and leave a good impression on them for once. For being in such a prime location, you'd expect much better service, but what can you expect from a place that was previously owned by a rapist. Do yourself a favor, go elsewhere.
(1)Joel S.
Was there before a Monsters Hockey game. Got the ribs, and was surprised how good they were. They were very tender and meaty. Could pull the meat off the bone with a fork. Got the spicy bbq sauce and really enjoyed it. Great atmosphere and prices were average.
(4)Mike D.
Harry Buffalo's main attraction is the buffalo burger but I'd actually try to "steer" you to the dry rub wings as the better option ...the burger is no slouch tho' either. I also like how the entire front area opens up during nice weather giving the main dining & bar area an open-air feel.... very cool for just hanging out for a few drinks to watch a game or pre-game before heading over to the Jake.
(3)Corey L.
Went w a group of 10 on a Saturday night before a Lake Erie Monsters hockey game. Wasn't that packed. We started w some beers, which were tasty. Not a big selection, but okay. Started w a buffalo chip and dip, which was really good. Enough spice to add flavor but definitely not spicy hot. I had a half rack of half priced ribs. They were fine, but too much sauce for me. Sauce was really sweet, which I like. But too much - which in combo w not super lean ribs means I spent a lot of time picking through them. (I'm a gross and picky eater) Got a little side salad, which was what you expect. Fries were tasty, but not that crispy. Cole slaw was interesting, lotta sauce and some spicyness. Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese was pretty good. Decently spicy, flavorful, and unhealthy as you would expect. Overall decent meal
(3)Bob H.
This is a bar first and foremost. If you want something good to eat try any of the great restaurants nearby. I asked my waiter if the steaks were good here. His reply should have tipped me off, he said I have never tried it, I'm new here but I sold 2 today. I ordered the steak with baked potato,veggies and a side salad. The baked potato was so cold it wouldn't melt my butter. The veggies were actually seasoned nicely and tasted great. The steak was so tough I couldn't eat it. My waiter asked how everything was so I told him. He could not have cared less. I asked for my bill, paid and left. Eating here makes me want to turn vegan ! To say it was terrible is an understatement !!! Never again but then again it is just a bar ! What was I thinking ?? Apparently I wasn't abd should have known better Don't make the same mistake !!!!
(1)Eric C.
Note: I've only been here on weeknights towards the end of the evening and I've never had the food. Service was fine, drinks were good, and nothing seemed out of line. I don't really have much to say about this one. It's a bar that's really built to make money off events at the Q. I don't know that I would want to be here on a crowded night--seems like it wouldn't actually be fun. But as a stop on the way home from a work commute, it's fine and dandy. They have beer, booze, and some good people on the slow nights.
(3)Chelsea K.
I frequent this place often before events at the surrounding venues! I must say that it is always a great time! Usually the crowd seems to mesh well since they are all down here for the same reason. Food: I love the food here. For a bar doing the volume of business that they do, it seems to go pretty well. The bison burgers are amazing!!! Not only does it taste good, it takes away the guilt of eating a burger knowing its super lean meat! I recommend their pizza too. Its so great! For all you gluten free peeps their GF pizza is amazing! Its thin crust which I prefer and makes you feel like youre not missing out on anything that those peeps with no gluten allergy can have! If youre feeling super adventurous and like living life on the wild side (which I often do) id suggest the Buffalo chicken mac and cheese sando! Nweds no explanation!!! Service: Considering the volume again...This place has definately nailed it with this round of staff members. It takes a certain amount of patience to deal with the clientele that frequents this bar bc as I mentioned before, everyone is down there for a large event or happening around town. They seem to make it work. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a good time and good food!
(5)Jennifer M.
Horrible service. Waitress was so rude. Buffalo burger was only half a patty. Tried to seat 7 people at a table for 4 and was mad when we asked for a larger table. Was mad because she had to clean an extra table. Then she was our waitress for the evening. Four checks at one table and we were charged a 20 percent gratuity on each check. It was service that was terrible. The manager said he would give us a round of drinks after our bills were already paid. Not the point. The waitress did not deserve that type of tip. The wait station was right behind the wall where my seat was and I could hear her complaining the whole time about her customers. We have eaten here many times and brought friends with us. How embarrassing. Will never go back. Funny I looked at this site just before I posted this and other customers had the same complaint, Harry Buffalo won't be around much longer with all of the other competitors in Cleveland. Good Luck you will need it
(1)Quay M.
Oh, Harry Buffalo. I don't know how the hell we ended up in this place one weekend because it sure didn't appeal to me. Everywhere else was packed, maybe? Yes, that's right - damn Indians game. Anyway, we went in for just a few beers as we were killing time before the MGMT show at the Masonic Auditorium. I actually ended up liking this place so kudos to you Harry Buffalo. We ended up having two different servers as we caught the first one right before his shift ended. Both were awesome, though. Post-MGMT, we came back (before leaving when they closed 1AM to go to Flannery's) and hung out at the bar. Somehow basketball came up and we got to hear some hilarious stories about the day of the infamous Lebron James press conference. It was fantastic.
(4)Scott K.
Quite possibly some of the worst service I've ever had. My waitress, Samantha, acted like she had better things to do. If you don't like your job, and the fact you're working on a Friday night, then quit. I asked her if they had mojitos (which might have been my first mistake based on how the place looked) but figured it was worth a shot. She replied "we have margaritas if that'll do." And that's really where it started. They should have called the margarita a glass of sweet and sour. So, I decided to switch to vodka. Same thing. They screwed up my second drink- apparently asking for more than one thing in the drink was too much for the waitress and/or bartender to handle, because my drink was missing the vodka and splash of lemonade I asked for. Unbelievable how awful this place was. Needless to say, we left and I hope I never come back.
(1)Sue C.
Get the buffalo burger! The best burger I've eaten... Loved the atmosphere. My waiter was friendly and he always checked on us. Menu had many options. We got there before the herd of people came in and after we left it was packed. But I enjoyed my time here and will come back again next time I am in town.
(5)Jason W.
The beer I ordered was wrong both times they brought it out, even though the glass was labeled the correct beer. The food was wrong, which boneless wings are pretty hard to screw up. The servers are more interested in the bar patrons than serving on the floor. Our first server sat and watched us sit down, but continued her conversation at the bar, and the next server could t get anything right either.
(1)Michael A.
Sitting here now with all my free time decided to download this app since they were kind enough to have it posted asking us to. Well after 15 min I got up and got my family our own menus. After looking at them for another 15 minutes we asked if we can get a server since no one had stopped by. When the waitress got here what my wife order was on the special list was priced at $9 is now $12 because there was an event. Well in Cleveland isn't there always an event. Football basketball. Just don't understand that. Hope the food is better than the service.
(1)Ben W.
Okay, the Miller lite blew and we had to wait upwards of 4 minutes. Overall, not bad, but not great. I like a quick response personally. If you're the same, this place is not for you. :)
(3)Robin R.
The Bison/Buffalo burger is delicious. The Pretzel bun, however, fell apart when I was eating my burger. Maybe the Pretzel bun should be toasted longer and without butter/margarine. The Homemade chips are good.
(3)Adam C.
Dirty table, dirty floors, dirty restroom, no soap in the men's room. I really hope the employees carry hand sanitizer. Service was slow food was so, so.
(2)Steve C.
I wanted to try the food but I didn't want to sweat in the sweltering bar. When we arrived at 1930hrs it was extremely warm. I asked if they had just opened and our server said no. I asked if it was going to get any better and she said no. I got the feeling that she had gone through this dance before. Can't blame her. We had a drink and left. I made it clear to her that we were not going to eat in that heat. It was a dark day as far as Cleveland sports goes. One of the two days a year that no sports are played. (Good trivia question. Day before and day after MLB All star game!) I betcha on game nights that AC is cranking, no? Won't be back. AAMOF I regret giving them any of my money.
(1)Tony R.
Mac and Cheese bake. Awesomeness. Good burgers too. Nice big screens. Great sports bar in the middle of the Gateway District. Excellent service also.

Went here after going to other places for the night at E 4th. Had a Stella with a friend and called it a night. Can't say much of the place because I only spent maybe a good hour there. I liked the idea of having the place open out but it's really dark inside. There wasn't really any music playing, just some TV's that were on. Kinda cramped by the bar area. I'd have to come back to give my full review. The prices for the beer weren't that bad either.

This place gets our business simply because it's the only place between the parking garage and the Q. They have $3 tall Miller Lite for the Cavs games and good service if you snag a couple bar stools. Somehow, our quick app choices of food always turn into the talk of the bar. In case you're wondering what 'cheese hammers' are, it looks like a giant deep friend marshmallow. On a skewer. But it's a huge cube of cheese. Deep fried. Like a hammer. While putting the order in, our slightly douchey bartender told us, 'Yea, it's good. You won't shit for a few days, but it's good.'

good place to get cheap drinks, but the drinks are good. didn't order any food. Local sports were playing on the TV's.

Last night my girlfriend and I had the pleasure of dining at the Harry Buffalo. We chose it randomly walking down 4th street simply because it was the only place still serving. Being from out of town and late on a Tuesday, we didn't expect much, but we were pleasantly surprised. We had expected decent food and shoddy service which is par for many places an hour before close. What we got was Joe. Joe was one of the most friendly and engaging server's we have ever experienced. He was attentive and his food suggestions turned out fabulous. To our surprise, we found out later that he had only been working there a month. Employees like Joe are what turn a successful business into a local staple! Joe has a very bright future. We had wings and a buffalo burger which were both very fresh and cooked perfectly. The beer was cold and cheap. We will make it a point to come back and visit Joe at the Harry Buffalo every time we are back in town!

Harry Buffalo is right in the middle of the coolest 4th Street and Quicken Loans Arena. It seems like it's the place to be before or after a basketball game. We liked it because you know what to expect: standard American sports bar with TVs, bar food and cheap beers. Food was nothing out of the world but I would say somewhere between average and above average. We ordered wings, cheese bread and $3 beers. They actually have over 10+ sauces you can choose for their wings: buffalo, bbq, something spicy, something sweet, little bit of something for everyone. This place accomplished the purpose of our visit after the game so we were satisfied. The servers were attentive and regularly checked in to see if we were doing alright. Great for small and big groups for a fun night! Check it out when you are in downtown or close by!

A group of five spent the week working in Cleveland. We picked Harry Buffalo for our first dinner. The food was reasonably priced and the service was excellent - 6:00 on a Monday, before a 7:00 Indian's game. The daily special was a basket of chicken fingers and fries for $6. Two had it as an entree, one had it as an appetizer. Everyone seemed happy with their choice. I had the half slab of ribs with fries and cole slaw. The ribs were terrific, meaty and tender, fall off the bone. Fries were great too - golden brown and delicious. Two had the burgers - bison and beef. No complaints. I would go back.

Dinner 9-15-12 We used yelp to find this place for dinner after a ball game. I would give the place 2 stars but would hate to lead other out of towners into this establishment as we were. The food: It was okay. Bar food that was reasonably priced with some interesting options. No one was grossed out but nothing was a must return to eat again item--even if for some reason I decided to go to Cleveland again. So why the one star hateful review? Because it took a million years to get incredibly mediocre meals and drinks. Yes, it was busy but it really wasn't that busy. Put another waitress on staff for the shift serving directly after a ball game across the street. This seems obvious to me. However given that the music in the place is coming from someone's iphone pandora ap what else could we expect? (we know this because the phone started ringing which was blasted on the speakers throughout the restaurant. Stay classy, Cleveland.) To sum it up--don't come here unless you have time to waste.

Crowded, loud, stressful. Are two bathroom stalls enough? Flat beer makes me sad. Neon Nascar lights. Stop peddling Jello shots! Did someone break wind?

Big fan of the Bison salad. While they dont have a patio, they slide open the sides of the bar in the summer. Always a good time with friends. The burgers I've tried have been great and I tried the pretzel bun. The bun was great but fell apart before I was done eating the burger...but the burger was still very good. They have a ton of different varieties of burgers and when a group of us go here for lunch; I havent heard one person say anything but good things about the food.

I went with 2 co workers for lunch during a weekday. It was Tuesday and the special was a Burger Bonanza. Cool! When we go in, the waitress does not explain the menu and took too long to come around and get our orders. (Who the hell charges for a pickle spear? Really?) Mind you, there is one other table in our area and maybe 2 more in the restaurant. It's not like the place was busy. After a 25 minute wait for a burger, a sandwich, and an order of soft pretzels- my burger is made wrong and so are my fries. The waitress is no where around though. Occasionally she ducks in for water, but she is gone before I can say anything. When we finally have to gesture to get our checks, she drops them and runs. Hello, we had our payment methods out! Then, we find out that the "Burger Bonanza Special" is for a basic, boring burger and not for the page of burgers named Burger Bonanza. If she would have explained the special, I would not have been surprised. Oh- we received a discount because of where we work. It took 15 minutes just to get the discount applied because she couldn't find the manager. My entire 90 minute lunch was taken up waiting here. I expect lunch service to be quicker since most people have to get back to work. This was a huge let down and I don't plan on coming back.

I am a snob of European origin and I am not afraid to admit it. I love cloth napkins, scented candles, fancy silverware and foreign music. Also wine in tall glasses and cheese with unpronounceable names. I want my appetizer to confuse me and then amuse me. I want some anorexic girl with beautiful voice to sing me about bridges, skies and fatal attractions and then her look-alike to serve me fried chicken livers. That's my idea of fun. To be honest american bars usually give me migraine and suicidal ideation with their cheap dull alcohol, loud music and dudes in browns jerseys asking me if all Russia is Siberia and if I am a mail-order bride. Shoot me. But this one was not so bad. Generous portions, fresh lettuce, and not so bad wine. Plus the lack of window is kind of nice of idea of retreat in case I confuse again what the hell Browns play ( football? baseball?) and some furious fans decide to beat me up - I can just step out of the window into the night. So next time I decide to visit America, I am going to step out of my little Euroland and go there. To have some chicken wings and drink bud light. Well everything except bud light, that's pushing it. I am even going to invest into a hoodie and my boyfriend will wear a browns baseball hat. Simply because we love adventures and tourism.

Great food. Sweet potato fries are awesome and so are the burgers. Only draw back....for the ladies....only 1 bathroom stall...yikesssss. Overall nice place and would recommend.
(4)laurie r.
Was in town overnight and this place was just down the road from our hotel. Not as "trendy" as other downtown eateries but the food was great (had a $6.00 burger! Seriously where can u get a six dollar burger?) and some ice cold beers. Service was good.
(4)Rick B.
Fun atmosphere before a game. On our first visit, Captain Morgan and the girls were giving away shots. This time, the Coors girls offered samples of beer. Good chance a sports game of your choice will be on a TV near by. The minestrone soup was fantastic!
(4)Amy K.
Stopped here after catching a Lake Erie Monster hockey game. Walked right in and sat down immediately. Service was very quick, even though they were packed. Ordered the Black Bean burger on a pretzel roll and a Bison burger on a wheat roll. Black bean burger came with green peppers and , a nice change from the typical veggie burger and very tasty. Accordding to my husband the Bison burger was very good, although it didn't taste much different from a good beef burger. Skin on fries were fresh and just crispy enough, even when we doused them with tabasco. Would definitely go back.
(4)Terinee B.
Although the ground floor looks like a jumpin' place to be, if you decide to dine upstairs you'll find the decor to be mismatched, outdated and the overall apperance to be just ok. HOWEVER - if you can sit through all of that, the food is more than EXCELLENT! And the sweet potatoe fries were the bomb!!!
(4)Ryan M.
Solid sports bar. We came here for drinks, apps, and a Browns game before a comedy show at Hilarities. Ordered the Bison chili fries and Pita nachos, and both were outstanding. Drinks were reasonably priced and they had plenty of TVs. Exactly what you want from a sports bar.

I'm guessing this chain got their name by the way their establishments smell inside. In case you're wondering ...that smell would be comparable to hairy, smelly buffalo roaming. Yes, indeed. The wait for a drink was just shy of 30 minutes. No joke. We were being completely ignored in favor of the younger, skankier chicks. Female bartender was at least apologetic for her male ape bartender counterparts. She gave my sister "a really good double". I still refuse to give more than one star -- even though that one chick was semi nice. NEXT!

Another so-so Cleveland eatery this trip. We went because the menu was enormous and it was close to Progressive Field. It was packed, not surprising in the middle of an Indians double-header and during an OSU football game. So...we were sent to eat upstairs. Let me compare upstairs and downstairs for you. Downstairs: -gorgeous chalkboard with beautiful beer list. Many delicious cervezas on tap. -High wooden bar stools/chairs. Nice furniture. -Smelled normal. Upstairs: -on tap: Bud Light, Corona Light, Dortmunder. You can guess what we drank. -Funky furniture, likely to find in a cafeteria in an old folks home. -Smelled like a musty old bar. At least the waitress was attentive and apologetic when things got slow. The food was fine--baby back ribs that tasted like ribs for the boyfriend, 3 bison sliders for me dressed up with bacon, chives and cheese. Fries were waffled and acceptable. The stand out here? Um, the mixed vegetables accompanying the ribs. Cooked perfectly, appropriately ripe, buttered and salted. The waitress was not lying when she said they were actually good. If you go, try to get in downstairs. It's probably worth your while.
(2)Emily N.
Great place to grab a beer before an Indians game! As an out-of-towner, it drew my friends and I in and the place was packed to watch the Buckeyes!
(3)Tam V.
Had better wings. Had better burgers, Had better pulled pork (though, much better than Hot Sauce Williams pulled pork). Just a plus because it is so close to Q Arena.
(2)Rachel L.
Alright. I had the same exact experience the next time (see below for the juicy details). The server was slightly more attentive but the food was meh. Sticking with 2 stars and I probably won't go back unless someone forces me.

This is probably the only place in Cleveland where you'll be able to get a buffalo burger. Since buffalo has a lower percentage of fat in the meat, it is very easy to get a dry burger, which unfortunately was the experience here. My burger was on a pretzel bun, and while I appreciate the unique experience of eating burger and pretzel, the bun was swimming with grease. It was as if the fat/grease from the burger had all diffused into the neighboring territory of the bun, since we had dry burger and way too greasy bun. Service was mediocre. The waitress came back multiple times after we had given her our orders to reconfirm what we had gotten, because she had forgotten what we had told her. Maybe she was new and was getting the hang of things, but all we had ordered were 2 burgers (with no alterations from the description on the menu) and 2 diet cokes. We were also the only people ordering anything at the restaurant at the time (with a total clientele of 3 people when we actually walked into the restaurant).
(3)Nick B.
I thought the Harry Buffalo was a great place to hang out in Downtown for a quick bite & cold beer. We stopped in on a Saturday for some appetizers and had the nachos. They were really good. The beer wasn't that expensive. More importantly, it was nice & cold. Great location. In the summertime, the have big, wooden windows that a propped open, and you get a great breeze that moves in through the bar. Highly recommended.
(4)Jeff T.
This Harry Buffalo has a really good downtown location and is a pretty good option for after drinks following ball games, concerts, or just for a late night snack. HB has just changed their menu but this location is still serving the previous revision which I tend to prefer. It helps that I know 2 people that work there and get hooked up each time I'm there with great service. It's also nice when they blast open the windows for an open, breezy feel.

Every time I eat a burger at a bar, it's a decision I at best regret the next morning, at worst regret that night. That was until I found the Bison Burger. Bison Burgers separate the Harry Buffalo from your average sports bar. Studies show (according to the irrefutable source on their menu) that bison is far leaner and more healthy than your average ground beef. Combine this lean meat with a pretzel bun and you have one bar burger that won't take your stomach for a trip down memory lane the next morning. The bar has an average beer selection and it's close proximity to the Gateway District makes Harry Buffalo a good meeting spot/pre-or post-game hangout for Indians and Cavs games. A word of caution- Be careful ordering anything with bacon. They have a tendency to overcook to a burnt crisp.
(3)Rob P.
Randomly ate at this place because we thought the name was funny. There were no tables for our party of 8, so they let us crash a private party in the back. Great service all around, and the food was all delicious. I split a bison burger and a sweet buffalo chicken melt with a side of pretzel cheese bites. All of it was really, really good, and I'm not usually one for pub food.
(4)Charlene E.
The menu says "world best bar food" and you know what? They're not lying. We were worn out after a day at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and wanted to find someplace near our hotel to grab a quick bite. We had spotted the Harry Buffalo the night before and after giggling at the name again, decided to give it try. It didn't look like much when we walked in and other than the lone server/bartender, we were it. The place was empty but I will take a guess that because it was nearly 2:30 on a Monday afternoon, we missed the lunch rush. Our server, Oksana, was friendly, helpful, funny and hands down the most gorgeous girl I have ever seen waiting tables. Even my 60 something sister in law commented on how stunning she was. On to the food! I had the Cleveland Cheesteak Sub, which was shaved rib eye steak with green peppers, mushrooms, caramelized red onions and mayo on a toasted hoagie, topped by mozzarella and baked to a nice golden brown. Soooooooooo good! I chose the fresh cut fries, which are made fresh daily, one entire potato per order and absolutely delicious! My hubby and brother in law both had the Bison Burger and both gave rave reviews. Great food, outstanding service and large portions. Can't ask for more, especially on vacation!

I stopped here with some friends after going to the Frozen Diamond Faceoff at Progressive Field - we were already in a sports mood, so we thought we might as well go to a sports bar! The first thing I noticed is that our beverages were served in flimsy plastic cups, which I thought was sketchy, even for a sports bar. The daily special was Buffalo Mac and Cheese; my friend and I decided that it looked pretty tasty, plus it was on sale! So the two of us decided to each get it. We all waited an extremely long time for the food, and when it finally arrived and we dug in, my friend and I exchanged looks of terror as we ate our mac and cheese. It was the worst meal either of us had ever eaten. It was mostly sauce with very few noodles, and the sauce - my god, it was terrifying. I'm pretty sure that I could make it at home if I mixed the queso sauce from a jar with some Jack Daniels BBQ Sauce. The side salad wasn't so great, either. The others in our party seemed like they enjoyed their food, but thoughts of that mac and cheese are enough to give me nightmares today.

My friends and I went there after a concert last week and the service was horrible. The gray haired bartender was rude and offensive. One of my friends had too much to drink and was trying to get another drink so I turned to the bartender and signaled him not to serve my friend. The bartender yelled back at me "Really? I've been doing this for 20 years you don't think I f**kin know he shouldn't be served". I thought I was doing the right thing for the bar and my friend but this bartender made me feel like an embarassed idiot. I will NEVER RETURN to this establishment!!!
(1)Ritch W.
Worst service ever, the bartender was a complete asshole, the beer tasted like shit and the food sucked! How do you screw up Stella Artoise and wings, for gods sake...well, have a staff that insults you, makes you feel like an inconvenience and apparently hate their jobs is one way. Avoid this shithole at all costs, Flannerys Irish pub is next door with an awesome staff, food and drinks

I try not to give negative reviews often, but I suppose someone has to bear the burden of evening out the curve. Fortunately, there is Harry Buffalo. To be sure, I've never been there before, during, or after a Cavs or Indians game. The restaurant is close to Progressive Field and The Q, so I suppose there's a decent chance it's a lively place when there's a game going on. For a normal weekday work lunch (always at someone else's request), though, I loathe going to Harry Buffalo. Probably the only passable thing on the menu is the buffalo burger with a pretzel bun. It gets a pass simply on the novelty of eating (1) a burger made from a buffalo, and (2) a pretzel bun. After that, the menu doesn't really have anything going for it, and the service is often way too slow. There are several better places to go on East 4th for a weekday lunch if you're in the area.

I received a gift card to this place and after finding out the Akron restaurant had closed, drug me and my girlfriend up to Cleveland to have it. $5 dollars for 'event' parking even though I wasn't sure what kind of event was going on and still don't have a clue. Walked in and saw 'please seat yourself', and we did, 10 minutes pass and no one to chime. I should probably mention this was a Saturday night, no local games, about 4 people in bar. Other guests around us were also clueless as to what is going on. The table was sticky, the enviroment seemed to be of Applebees but more dingy. Imagine the bartender lathering the place in sulky pale beer then flipping the open sign. The service was questionable, we had 3 servers none of which knew exactly what was going on. The food was pure novelty; having eaten buffalo burger elsewhere (and may I say was alot better) I ordered 'how the bufallo eat them' which is a blue cheese contraption of deafening sweltering of blue cheese all over your poor rather tasteless buffalo patty. I won't make that mistake again. As a bar for games or whatever it probably is more tolerable as you'd probably be drunk off your face and you'd probably beckon at the sight of food. But on a Saturday night? Surrounded by kids screaming wailing and an enviroment that can be had at any local joint. Find somewhere else.

I have to write this just so I can add them to my Sweet Potato list. They have sweet potato wafers and they are AWESOME! Although I'm not sure I've met a sweet potato I don't like? The menu is diverse, lots of options. But it's just a sports bar. But they also have decent beer on tap. I was especially fond of the Vanilla Porter (Breckenridge Brewery I believe) and the Christmas Ale, which is some local brew, only made at Xmas time, and actually often sold out at bars all over Cleveland during the holidays. But worth grabbing a pint when available. It's right by the Q and Progressive Field so mostly busy before games and then not so much other times. My hotel was right across the street so it was convenient and decent enough to return more than once or twice and did I mention they have Sweet Potato wafers!?!
(3)Richard H.
Went back again and the wings were great! Problem is I wanted to eat there the night before, but they were out of wings and it was only 8pm! It was New Years Day, so that may have had something to do with it, but I had just worked 11 hours and was craving them. Even so, how does a place that specializes in wings run out?? Oh well, they are very good - just call ahead to be sure they still have them.
(4)Travlin R.
Above average for typical bar food. The prices are very fair, but above all else, the staff is exceptional! We had a group of six recently, and we never had to wait too long for anything. This is a great little place.
(4)Jessica B.
Pretty average bar that gets an extra star for it's awesome open air setup. Drinks are standard (beers, wines, liquor) and menu is pretty large. Nice place to watch a game or just hang out. Friendly crowd. Above-average service, too--we almost had to tell the server to not come back so frequently!
(4)Jimmy J.
I was in Cleveland for a week 2 years ago for software training, and I'm glad I got to visit this place. I had the Bison burger with their homemade potato chips, and of course a couple of cold ones. This could be the best burger I've ever tried; truly delicious! It's kind of sad, but this was kind of my highlight of that week.;)
(5)David F.
Great beer selection.....service was ok for a weekday night before a Tribe game.
(4)Vanessa F.
I really like the bison burgers, and the price doesn't hurt. I always eat the bar, and get pretty good service every time.
(3)Karen R.
Very reasonable prices for wide variety and pretty good food. Pretty good food for reasonable prices. Great for before or during a game near the arena.
(3)Bryan M.
Great atmosphere on game day. Had a couple cheap beers and decided to order a buffalo burger with a side of chicken tenders. The burger was good but the tenders were amazing!!! The hot pepper buffalo sauce might e the best sauce in the city. Definitely going back.
(5)Rick E.
Went here before a game at Quicken Arena. First, dear reader, this place is a BAR. I read some of these reviews from other Yelpers and it sounds like they're going for some kind of bullshit, pastel-walled, hanging plant, daisy in the bud vase at every table joint. A bar is dark. A bar sometimes smells like burgers and wings and wood. Bar food is bar food - it should be good but if you want your $14 kobe beef burger you're in the wrong pace. OK, I really enjoyed my wings-hot, fresh and seasoned as ordered. The nacho appetizer is a little different - the meat and cheese is on toasted pita bread triangles. Buffalo chili was hearty and good. I'm not a big beer drinker but I ordered a domestic draft and it was cold but not particularly fizzy. Order the bottled brew.
(3)Jen R.
I stopped in here looking for a good place to eat, and this place fit the bill. There was a big bar area with huge open windows that gave you all the benefits of sitting outside while still keeping you covered. And the menu...was just crazy. I can't imagine anyone coming in here and not finding something to eat. They have a huge selection of wraps, pizza, burgers - basically anything you can think of. I even saw that they had a bunch of combo lunch specials - and I'm dying to try their cinammon sugar apple fries with caramel dipping sauce. See - they're all over the place in a good way. Anyways, I decided to go the burger route, and since this place is all about the customizable burger, I went with the Buffalo Burger, topped with a pretzel bun. Yes, a pretzel bun - and it tasted damn good. You will definitely see me back here next time I'm in town.
(4)Chris Z.
This place is about as good as it gets in downtown Cleveland. It's the diamond in the rough. You name it the wings, the buffalo burger, sweet potato fries, buffalo wrap - there all good. It's better than your average bar food, in a good location (for cleveland).
