Founding Fathers Pub

People raved about this place and it has good reviews, so we figured we would check it out as a quick bite to eat for an early dinner before a show. The door to the entrance wasn't too obvious-rather easy to walk by actually. The space itself was small, one big room. Handful of tables and a small bar. You can tell very old and historic, lots of stuff displayed on the walls from top to bottom. Some banner boasting about being rated something along the lines of one of the "best places to check out before you die" The space smelled slightly- I couldn't really tell if it was stale beer or just old building musty. One waitress/bartender in the whole place and a cook who sat between making meals it looked like. Very nice waitress, but busy. The food was decent but didn't wow by any means. A basi

Shelby was friendly & fast! Had a nice time here. Burgers were good—only reason for the four stars for food was that the Blackened Blue burger lacked Cajun seasoning and was absent of blue cheese—so neither blackened nor blue, but we didn’t mention it, as the burger was good anyways.

This is such a great divey neighborhood spot. It’s a Buffalo staple. You’ll find regulars there having a bite and a couple drinks before heading out their nightly activities…all of the staff are super friendly and kind. It’s laid back and chill. Good isn’t amazing, but it’s also not too pricey. You get free popcorn. Fun place for a chill night of drinking and hanging out

This is one of the best pub experiences in the entire US I have been. Michael is so knowledgeable in trivia and just a great character. The pub is filled with memorabilia of US presidents thru out the bar. This would be a place Anthony Bourdain would be proud to visit...Yeah I went their..

Had a late afternoon to kill, went in for a burger. Decor is as others described, but the TVs were a bit noisy with MTV blaring a bunch of 90s to 00s alt rock, pop and lots of hip-hop + r&b. It was incongruous, a little grating, and seemed weirdly at odds with the clientele. Clarissa (IIRC) was delightful, and helped me pick the right beer for my mood (Sam Smith's Nut Brown Ale). Was profoundly disappointed to learn they had no kind of fries or hashbrowns available at all, thanks to the postage stamp-sized kitchen having only a grill. The chips would have to do, but at least the Independence burger was excellent. If all you're out for is atmosphere and a beer, this is a quaint, appealing spot, and if you get peckish, the food is quite tasty. (Though a hot plate to make some hash browns o
