    Excellent service and great prices. The environment was relaxing even though it was packed. I would recommend The Wellington Pub for those looking for Buffalo's hidden gems.

    Our first time here. Our waitress was great and the food was very good. My pesto chicken sandwich was delicious and my friends enjoyed their food too. Nice neighborhood bar!

    One of the best bars in Buffalo, NY! The food is, as you'd expect, bar food, but it's the best bar food in the city. French dip is amazing and the wings are definitely in the top 5 you will find in Buffalo. Bartenders and servers are super nice. It's currently my go to place for guys night out. Thank you Wellington Pub!

    This place is a Buffalo institution, one of those wonderful little โ€œhole in the wallโ€œ places with really good food and service. Our waitress was one of the most delightful human beings Iโ€™ve ever had the pleasure of being waited on. Chicken wings, beef on weck, fish fry are all really excellent. Also, some really great steak sandwiches.

    This is a must visit every time Iโ€™m in Buffalo (3x a year, at least). I always get the buffalo shrimp - I refuse to share and honest to God salivate when I am making the 6.5 hour drive from where I live in MD. The drinks are delicious, every server friendly and the food knocks it out of the park. Iโ€™ve brought 3 friends with me in the past to eat too, from MD, and no matter the dish - itโ€™s a hit. A must stop.

    A North Buffalo staple. Every time I'm in town I stop in. They have mastered some WNY original dishes. From the fish fry to wings to Beef on Weck... Every bite is what you've been craving. Thank you to Kim for such a great time on the front patio. It was truly a picturesque summer afternoon.

    Been coming here for 5+ years now as I live in the hertel area. In all of my times here I have always had attentive, awesome service. Even when the servers were noticeably busy, they still have been amazing. Their French onion soup is my favorite!

    Came here for a vegan burger and fries. The wait staff was very friendly and the service was excellent. The burger was delicious and exactly what I was looking for.

    Great atmosphere and terrific friendly service. The menu has plenty to choose from and I don't think anything could possibly disappoint. I selected the Cajun 5 Alarm Burger and it was outstanding. Now the Local Legend, as seen in my photo, looks amazing.

  • 5/5 Jeremy H. 3 years ago on Google
    This place has amazing food. They make a killer Reuben and don't skimp on ingredients or portions. The wings are on point too. I've had the French Onion soup many times and it's top of the line & meets the standard for Buffalo food excellence. If you're really hungry, try the burger where the bun is 2 grilled cheese sandwiches.. so good! I could go on and on, but you get the point. Delicious ๐Ÿ‘Œ

  • 5/5 Darlene T. 1 year ago on Google
    It was wonderful, it was after 9:00 and we glad it was open. We had Hot Crispy Wings!

  • 5/5 Mark B. 2 years ago on Google
    My first time eating here was great! We were a party of five and were seated within a few minutes of arriving. The restaurant was busy but our server was attentive with drinks and orders. I recommend the turkey bacon club wrap! I will definitely be going back ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

  • 5/5 Karen R. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun, casual atmosphere with great service. Our fish fry's were delicious, not greasy, and just the right size. Will definitely go back!

  • 4/5 Kelly H. 2 years ago on Google
    Small, quaint place. Large bar, handful of tables. Service was excellent, my Greek wrap was lacking in flavor, but substituted side of chips for veggies and they were great!

  • 5/5 Bill S. 2 years ago on Google
    My favorite restaurant on Hertel Avenue offering appetizers to three course meals. Beer for the sports fan and friendly, professional service by waitress or bartender. Connection to Bob & John's a bonus.

  • 5/5 Melissa W. 2 years ago on Google
    Not only was the food fantastic, we had the best waitress! She was soooo nice and attentive, gave us lots of recommendations when we asked and then even came back to our table with the name of a spot north of Niagara that she suggested after we told her we were visiting and heading up to the falls. It turned out to be an amazing recommendation! We had wings (hot garlic Parmesan, medium Buffalo & Cajun) and the Beef Weck. If we are ever back in Buffalo, weโ€™ll definitely stop here again!

  • 4/5 Konstantinos R. 2 years ago on Google
    Decent food with slow service, at least on a lazy Saturday afternoon. We ordered burgers and appetizers and the food was decent. Minus one star for the lack of cleanliness and how long it took to get our food.

  • 5/5 Sharon W. 2 years ago on Google
    OMG I love there food. I have both dined in and out and every time im abs satisfied with all food, service, and price wise. Love, love, love this place ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜

  • 5/5 Chris F. 1 year ago on Google
    Just happened to walk by and stopped for lunch. Lots if choices on the menu, tuna melt and patty melt on sourdough were fabulous. Melissa was professional, friendly and spot on with her service, took great care of everyone, she is efficient and personable. Good value too!

  • 5/5 J M. 2 years ago on Google
    This is one of the hidden gems. Real Buffalonians know about this. The wings are some of the best in the city. Service is friendly and fast. It's one of Hertel Strips premium locations. The signature drinks are not expensive and they change them each season. The Strawberry Mule, best in WNY!

  • 4/5 Keri D. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was good, great lunch. We got the Monster Burger... Cajun 5 Alarm burger, pretzel bites and macaroni salad.

  • 5/5 Peter H. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 B G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great quesadilla! Friendly neighborhood bar with a large menu. Portobello Burger...marinated...delicious! Fresh beers on tap at reasonable prices yay! Elmwood Avenue...

  • 5/5 Kaitlyn G. 7 months ago on Google
    My husband and I come here a few times a month and every time we are met with incredible service and food. Itโ€™s your basic pub food and itโ€™s always so tasty! I always recommend the Well.

  • 5/5 Iain C. 5 months ago on Google
    amazing food! hot and delicious! wings were perfect! we will be back. worth every trip to stop by here to eat!

  • 5/5 Chris J. 6 months ago on Google
    First time in with friends and we can't wait to go back. Stopped in for lunch after a chilly bike ride and a few other spots being closed due to it being Sunday. Great location and amazing service - Lauren was very warm and we felt so taken care of. Was excited to try their Beef on weck and it did not disappoint- generous portions and the meat was crazy thin and tender. Paired it with a cup of chili, French onion, and their soup of the day (Potato Leek) and the chili & FO were especially delicious. Prices reasonable and the vibe was great. Can't wait to try out the Fish Fry and wings too - thanks a lot guys for an awesome meal and experience :)

  • 5/5 Tambra M. 7 months ago on Google
    When you go to the Wellington expect to be overwhelmed by the quality of service and food. I had the Fish Fry on Friday. It was hands down the best fish I ever ate. It was crunchy from the first bite to the last. It was cooked to perfection. The mash potatoes were fabulous as well. Caitlin made our time spent at the Wellington special. She is on point.

  • 5/5 Eric S. 6 months ago on Google
    Best wings in Buffalo. Staff is always friendly here and the beer is always cold. Great place to watch a college football game.

  • 4/5 Geoff S. 8 months ago on Google
    Small tavern atmosphere. Good food and good portions. Waitress seemed distracted, forgot items, hard to get her attention.

  • 5/5 MB N. 9 months ago on Google
    My salad was great, not "the usual", chicken was very tender. My first time here.

  • 5/5 Stuart M. 11 months ago on Google
    Bar restaurant on the Hertel strip. I go for the fish fry. And let me tell you that it is fantastic. Friday nights are very busy here but the staff are super friendly and work hard to get you a seat fast and take care of you while you are there. My wife goes for the steak sandwich. Yea,... that's pretty darn good too.

  • 5/5 Eric S. 1 year ago on Google
    As a life long resident of Buffalo this is one of the best wing spots in the city. Top 3 in my book. Consistently good. Staff is always prompt and friendly. Prices are affordable and havenโ€™t had a bad item on the menu. Highly recommend!

  • 1/5 Chad Everett l. 1 year ago on Google
    This is honestly the first food review I've ever written in my life. Buffalo born and raised but well traveled. In the mood for a rueban sandwich after hanging out on the canal, never had one at Wellington pub but reviews were good. It was one of the worst ruebans I have ever had. Just trying to help the kitchen out for Today. Don't sell it. Dry as leather corned beef. Absolutely zero taste. Tasted like a sour krout sandwich. Probably to hide the tasteless corned beef. Gave it 1 star for the rye bread which was fresh and excellent. The bartender was very polite and very nice.

  • 3/5 Jayna D. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was pretty good. And the service was even better. They're desperately overdue for a remodel & makeover. Get some more tables for seating in there!

  • 5/5 Anthony P. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a phenomenal experience at The Wellington Pub. The service was great, it has an extensive drink menu, and the food was superb! Highly recommend this iconic Buffalo pub.

  • 5/5 A S. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a WONDERFUL time here. The first thing my mother-in-law (who is English) said was that it looked and felt just like the sort of pub youโ€™d see in the UK. The service was great, the food was yummy, and the staff was very attentive and accommodating of my little one, affording a colouring sheet and crayons and a little space for him to expend his energy when he was getting a bit restless (note that this isnโ€™t a designated area for children if youโ€™re imagining/expecting that from this review; it was just another dining area and I believe they only offered that space because the pub was still empty enough at that point). My family and I didnโ€™t plan on stopping by here initially, but we are SO happy that we did. We definitely have plans to come back one day. Would most definitely recommend. :))

  • 5/5 Jacqueline C. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic pub with a nice atmosphere. My husband and I went there last night for a date. I cannot recommend this place enough. When we walked in, we were greeted by a boisterous Friday evening crowd. The first thing I noticed was the well stocked bar. It is a little cramped between the bustling wait staff and the patrons, but it's manageable to navigate. We made our way to the back area to put our name in for a table in the seating area, and then went up to the bar to get ciders while we waited. Their drink menu is fairly comprehensive - a good amount of beers on tap and bottled, wines, cocktails, sodas...you'll definitely find something to drink. While waiting for a table (about 20 minute wait) I saw parents with small children, so it's definitely family friendly. The seating area is fairly large with two distinct sections (a front area and back area). We were seated in the back. There was a large family (15 people or so) that night so I think if you call ahead, they'll have a seat ready for larger groups. Plenty of tvs on with hockey for the sports fans as well! Onto the food. The menu is your standard pub faire- appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, and fish fries. Sides included potatoes, potato chips, bacon, french fries, etc. You have the ability to order alcoholic or nonalcoholic drinks and dessert as well (we skipped dessert though). My husband ordered the Monster burger (a burger served between two grilled cheese sandwiches) and I got the Beef on Weck. Our appetizer was an order of 10 medium spiced wings. Delicious food. The time between ordering and receiving food was an hour but we did go at the busiest time for food (6:30-8) so we expected a wait. Nonetheless, they didn't charge us for the drink I ordered, which was very nice. Cost: ~$7 per cider, $19 for the monster, $12 for the Beef on Weck, $15 for the wings. We tipped 25% as well because our server was awesome and attentive even in the craziest time of the night. (Ally? I think?...I'm sorry ma'am, I cannot remember your name but you deserve a raise). It was a lovely date experience and I cannot wait to go back.

    Old time neighborhood pub in the North Park area. Had a flavorful seafood chowder chock full of clams, crab and veggies. The fish fry was like a "whale fry"...huge and delicious!

  • 4/5 Mike D. 6 years ago on Google
    Ate lunch on the patio. Started with french onion soup. I can be picky with my french onion but the broth had good flavor & cheese was perfect golden brown. Croutons were a little bready, toasting might help but still good. Reuben was piled high, toasted perfectly, good ratio of sauerkraut & dressing. Cajun fries were tasty with perfect crisp. Server was attentive. Really enjoyed lunch. Will have to come back on a Wednesday or Friday to try the seafood chowder.

  • 5/5 Michael 4 years ago on Google

    We stopped for a late lunch on Saturday. Allie was welcoming and handled the room effortlessly. The French onion soup is a hit. I also had the apple salad and my husband had the tenders and onion rings. Everything was delicious and portions are generous. Would definitely stop there again when in Buffalo!
