Ellicottville Brewing Company

The day after Thanksgiving you could’ve mailed it in; but the staff, food service were all top shelf. Presentation and taste, too. Best fish fry, fries even the side of coleslaw was delish. Of course the Old Man Winter Lager hit the spot. We stop here every year on our road trip and it never disappoints. (Even the bathrooms are spotless and the staff was masked up for our safety theirs). ?

Very nice ambience. Food had issues. Only because my wife and I had a meal that had French Fries. They were maybe overcooked because they were tough and couldn't cut them with our fork. Way overpriced. They give you a knife for I presume to cut my pita sandwich. The knife couldn't cut butter and it didn't even cut my tough fries. The waitress was a very nice person, and helpful. Only being here once and never again, I didn't even mention it to her about the Fries issue. My wife had a Hamburg sandwich of some sort and it was huge and she was very pleased with it.

My girlfriend and I came in for dinner on Saturday night. We were told that there was a 10 to 15 minute wait the hostess took my phone number and said we would receive a text message. After waiting for a half an hour we checked back in to see what was going on. Nobody had a clue that I was even waiting for a table. Frustrated at that point we sat at the bar. The bartender started to take our order we were able to get our starters out and then just walked away in the middle of us ordering. Had to grab another bartender to finish our order but that took another 10 minutes and still nobody could confirm whether the first part of our order was put in or not. The appetizer and my girlfriends soup came out, there was soup all over the sides of the bowl it was a mess. Due to the delay in ordering our food came out much later, I ordered the English pub burger well done it came out red it looked raw. Drink glasses sat empty for most of our experience as the bartenders kept passing us to take care of people around us skipping over us each time. When I got my second glass of blueberry there was one blueberry in it the bartender said she was going to grab more but I never did and just started taking other peoples orders. Love the beer but don’t think I will ever be back to the restaurant again. Horrible experience not worth the money.

The woman, me and the kids came here for lunch today. There are 5 of us. We went in and said the waiting time would be 30 to 45 minutes. So we said okay and gave them our name and number to write us when our table was ready. Our wait was about 10 minutes, which was great. Especially if you are 5, 8, and 9 years old who don't like to wait. We sat our waitress was amazing that she was really interacting with the children and patient with them when they ordered. My youngest man made our waitress a ring and gave it to her. She wore it all the time we were there. My wife had gouda macaroni and cheese there. I had a French bath there and the kids had pizza and grilled cheese. The food was really good and the prices were not bad.

Pleasant lunch atmosphere, good service decent, if not something overpriced food. Looking for a light farewell, I ordered a salad that turned out to be richer than I was hoping with a big doll from Guacamole. Fresh and decent tasting. My companion had a burger who was good.
