Harry Buffalo

Nice place to watch games, drink good beer, and have great food. Ordered some chips and dip which was delicious. The menu was full of food I wanted to try and will in the near future. I give harry buffalo 3 stars because me and 2 others went there before a hockey game to catch happy hour. Well unfortunately because there was a hockey game, there was no happy hour. I may have failed to read that on their website, but regardless I was very disappointed. I will return but not during an orlando event.

Came in for lunch, it wasn’t busy at all. Was «greeted» by a waitress named dena but I use greeted lighted because she almost seemed angry that we were there. Literally did not smile a single time we were there and was far less than friendly. I would go back but if I’m sat in her section I’ll 100% be requesting to be served by someone else. Decent food, horrible service.

While in Orlando my coworker and I stopped into the Harry Buffalo for a few drinks. They had the whole Crown Royal whisky family, which was great for me as I was looking for Crown Apple! They also had a great selection of draft beers.
Lots of TV for viewing the Magic game as they were on the road, and they had full on poker tables in the bar as well. Tons of people were around the tables so it was obvious this helped to draw a crowd on a Friday night.
Fast, friendly service. I did not have any food, but the food around us looked great! Nice little bar close to the Amway center.

You will think that been the closest bar to DT, this place will have the Magic game on, but no, It doesn’t, not only the service is bad, some of the bartenders are rude, but they also said the the Orlando Magic game doesn’t deserve to be on their tv’s because they aren’t playing good. That’s how the bartender answer to our request to change the tv to the Magic game couple nights ago. Sorry i have to gave to one start but we been there couple of times and there is been always an issue.

I like this place mostly because of its location. We often stop here before all of our events at the Amway Center. The staff is OK, the food is OK. It usually gets quite busy before events, but we’re always served in a reasonable amount of time. The menu used to be a book long, but they recently slimmed it down which I like. If you’re going for appetizers, try the cheesy bread. It’s mouth watering. The one thing that bugs me is that they don’t offer buckets of beer! That may sound silly, but for «sports bar» type place I find it weird!

I went last night– Friday night. The wait staff was horrible– to include bartenders (you never could find one).
The food was great– a little pricy, but the taste was good.
I had the pizza and we had a salad. It was very good.
Service though, was where they lost the stars.

This is a great spot to watch the FSU game have a beer, enter in game day raffles, and of course enjoy some wings with friends. They also play all the major fights as well.

If you’re a FSU fan, this is the only place to be. It’s a sports bar. Order the wings, order the burger, avoid the fish. Beer specials all the time and very good pricing.

This review is only on the drink service not food. We went here before going to opening night of the magic season. So of course it was a little crazy there. We were able to get a seat right away which was good. The place was packed. The waitress came over pretty much as soon as we sat down but she didn’t know which seasonal beers they had by name on tap. I thought that was a little strange. Thought that would be something she should know by heart. After about 5 minutes she returned with the list and some menus. We ordered our drinks and it took another good 10 minutes before they came. It wasn’t until then that she asked if we were going to order some food. She was very sweet but clearly had too many tables she was trying to take care of at one time. She was serving the inside and the outside patio area. She waited until our round was empty before asking if we wanted another one which again I thought was strange to have an empty glass. It’s a great looking sports bar that I would love to return to and try the food menu but maybe just on a magic night.

Went last night and got the bbq chicken salad and it was awesome and they were showing college football and the environment was great

Came in today to have a drink and some grub before our Juan Luis Guerra concert. The place was super packed because of the game. We waited a few mins before being taken to the 2^nd floor and a waitress approached us pretty quickly. Overall the service was quick and decent considering it was jam packed. This is my 2^nd time here and ive been happy both times. I only had the truffle fries and cold beer but my friend had the cheese steak sandwich with fries. My fries were great and my friend said her sandwich was good but her fries were very soft. This is pretty solid bar if you’re looking for some drinks and hangout time any night of the week.

HB is your typical sports bar. On my visits I’ve found that you get the best service at the bar as sometimes the servers get lost and you end up waiting a long time to order/​get refills/​receive the check. The drinks are always good, just be careful what food you order. The bowls are delightful while some of the appetizers leave you with much to be desired.
If you’re in the area for an Orlando City game or just looking for a sports atmosphere in general, you’ve found your meca.

I was searching for a new place with a good Happy Hour, that was a casual restaurant that I could hold a good conversation. I was so happy to have found this place! I can’t believe I have not been here as long as I have ventured Orlando.
Sports bar, cozy seating, upstairs for when its busy. $ 3 wine, beer, and well drinks, plus a select few apps for happy hour.
I went with the Bison Burger which was FANTASTIC, with delicious sweet potato fries. My company had the Buffalo Chicken dip– also superb. Otherwise had a large/​varied menu with decent pricing.
It was quiet enough to discuss business and have a good time. They started 80s-​90s trivia (Thursday) which they offer an extended hour of HH, plus prizes if you win.
They are known to hold all major sporting events on TV and get pretty crowded, but still a good time.

All I can say is wow… I wish there was a 0 stars option.
After literally being sat for 10 min, one of the three servers that saw me and my girlfriend sitting down (she was waiting on a party of 20 and also apparently our designated server) told the bus boy to get us menus because when we walked in, the sign said «seat yourself».
Please keep in mind the servers that had the tables to our right and left, both looked at us (more than a few times) and didn’t say so much as «someone will be right with you.»
When we were finally given our menus by the bus boy, there was no explanation as to why we were waiting so long or who our server was eventually going to be. Nor did he offer to get us water or anything else to drink.
At this point I asked for the manager. After watching the bus boy run around for no less than 5 minutes trying to find the manager, he came back and said «Reese» would be over in a few minutes, he’s upstairs doing the schedule. I’ve only been in the restaurant business for 30+ years so maybe I’m wrong but should the manager be «upstairs doing the schedule» at 8pm on a Saturday night?
Reese did finally show up to our table to explain that «because there was an „event“ tonight (one at the Amway Center, I assume) the servers may have gotten mixed up with regard to the floor chart». Of course this doesn’t explain the HORRIBLE TRAINING of staff that would allow the servers to our right and left to look at us and not acknowledge the fact that two new guests had sat down.
I inquired also at this point if he was the only manager on duty. Apparently a bar manager and kitchen manager were also on duty but I’m assuming since Reese had to come out of the office to deal with us, the other managers are either incapable or it’s not in their job description.
Ok, now we have been assigned Francis as our server. She’s sweet enough and apologetic, however when my girlfriend and I ordered an appetizer and a sandwich (that we told her we were going to split) they both came out at the same time. When you think the experience in a restaurant can’t get any worse, you’re once again surprised by how bad the training must be in this venue.
The icing on the cake was the sandwich that came out. It had about 5oz of chicken on one half of the sandwich and maybe 1oz on the other side. Someone in the kitchen assembled this sandwich and thought it was acceptable to send it to the guest.
Once again I called Reese to our table. I think the part that had me most dumbfounded was the blank stare and unapologetic look on Reese’s face as I was explaining the difficulty his staff was having. There was absolutely no attempt on his part to salvage our experience other than to say, «be sure to come back and see us» as we were getting up at this point to leave. I can only assume this was sarcasm, because if you’re willing to allow guests to have this type of experience and offer no explanation or anything else for that matter in return, who in their right mind would ever frequent your establishment again?
I’m speechless for anything more to say. In over 30 years in the restaurant business I can honestly say I don’t think you could accomplish this type of disaster if you tried, yet it seemed completely natural for the staff and management of Harry Buffalo.

We had a great meal, the bison burger w buffalo mac n cheese was amazing.
The prezels rolls are very soft and chewy, not like the hard ones at most other places. And the drinks a very good. Our bartender, Jamie was excellent.

Dishonest and Greedy… I called ahead to find out if HB was airing the Mayweather-​Paquio fight, and was told on the phone that it was a $ 10 cover charge. After waiting in line for about 30 minutes to get in, I was then told the cover charge was $ 20. When telling the attendant what I was told on the phone, she said, «I know, but the cover charge just went up to $ 20, because of how busy we are… sorry». If I could had easily found another place that was airing the fight on HBO/​Showtime/​PPV, I would have left.
Then, it was standing room only, which is fine until you constantly get knocked into by a couple rude bartenders (most staff were friendly about trying to move through the overcrowded upstairs). For as many people that were here tonight, this place was clearly understaffed and ill-​prepared for such a large crowd (they ran of of pitchers for beer and started selling them by the can and bottles). I noticed customers all around me making faces and getting impatient with the really slow service.

I was pretty disappointed after finally eating here on SuperBowl Sunday. We had stopped in before when heading to a Magic game and thought the menu looked impressive so we made a note to actually come in and dine someday. I must admit, I almost wish we didn’t. I say this because the time having drinks at the bar impressed us. The bartender was really friendly and the drinks were good. The lunch experience soured the overall thrill of this place.
We first ordered the Buffalo Chip and Dip. It was a concoction of grilled chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce and pita chips. I’ll admit, this wasn’t bad at al. It was actually the best part of the meal.
I had the BBQ pulled pork sandwich with fries. It was a total miss. I had never had a pulled pork sandwich on Italian bread that was thinner, flakier and more bland than grocery store toast. If it wasn’t for the BBQ flavor I could’ve shut my eyes and imagined myself feasting on dry overcooked breakfast toast. I got halfway through and figured I’d feast on the fries instead. Yeah, not very cooked fries and no flavor. I was done. My dinner mate was also not impressed with her meal. She didn’t even get half through hers either. Service overall was very mediocre and this was on a super slow Sunday afternoon. I’d say there were maybe two other tables at the time.
Might come back for a drink if in the area but definitely won’t try the food again for some time.

Came here on a Saturday night. It didn’t seem too busy with customers at the time but it appeared to be understaffed. My fiancé and I sat at the bar for a good few minutes before we were acknowledged. Once we were, we put out drink orders in. The bartender gave us a food menu to which we decided what to get fairly quickly.
Bartender grabbed our orders and placed it in. We waited. and waited. We saw this other couple next to us looking upset that they have not received their food yet. The bartender did come around and say that it was on the way. So, looks like we were not the only ones that had a long wait for our food.
Literally, 45 minutes later (I am not exaggerating, I was looking at the clock because there was an event we had to go to right afterwards) we received our food. I had the bison burger to which I requested medium rare– it was definitely rare. It was pink and cool on the inside. I was so hungry that I made myself eat it because I did not want to send it back and be late.
The food would have been mediocre at its best even if my burger was cooked to my liking. There really wasn’t anything special about it. When getting out check, the bartender thanked us for our patience and apologized for the wait. That is honestly nice that he did that, we gave him a reasonable tip.
The wait was too long. The food wasn’t that great. I will most likely not be back, and do not care to go back.

1^st — they have specials that they don’t honor. Boneless wings for .39 on Mondays ended up costing $ 15 for 15 wings.
2^nd — wing plate is supposed to come with fries, which never came. For anyone in the party
3^rd — my meal and a coworkers meal got «lost» according to the waitress. Who also told us the kitchen said they made it and didn’t want to cook it again. Said she asked the manager yup give us a discount (which we didn’t receive). I ended up paying $ 26 for 15 wings, fries that I didn’t get, and 2 beers. We did finally get our food when the rest of our party was about halfway through with their meal.
4^th — silverware. The waitress brought some food, and told us she’d bring silverware once all the food was out. I ended up going to the hostess stand and getting the silverware for my entire party by myself.
5^th — we had to beg for refills.
I could have dipped $ 26 in bbq sauce at home and ate that for pretty much the same experience.

Harry Buffalo is a big, cavernous sports bar on Church Street by the under-​I-​4 parking lots. When we went in for lunch, several games were playing and I’d say about 8 – 10 tables were there to watch the games.
I ordered one of the bison burgers, which I enjoyed. I’d say probably a solid 4 stars for the burger. The rest of our table seemed to like their food as well. Service was another story. While she was friendly when we saw her, she was almost never around. We walked in and took a seat with a couple of menus (we grabbed them ourselves because no one was at the podium), and we had decided what we wanted to order before anyone had come to the table. I don’t know how long it was, but we were able to fit in a few minutes of discussing whether or not to just get up and leave before she arrived.
Once we eventually got our food, we didn’t see her again. Well, we DID see her, but she was standing around talking to the bartender and another server the whole time.
After finishing our meals, we waited around for a while for the check. I don’t know if she saw me getting up to finally find someone to get our bill, but as soon as I stood up, she was there to hand it to us.
So, based on my one experience, I’d have to say it’s worth checking out the food. Just don’t be in a hurry.
