The Blackthorn Restaurant & Pub — Restaurant in Buffalo

Been here once before for takeout food, they took similar orders out of other to go orders to put mine together. (Beef on weck and the club sandwich) I was sitting at the bar with NO covid regulations being adhered to while I watched them rip apart other orders to put mine together, and also had drunkards in my face with no masks talking about how COVID isn’t real. My beef on weck came with tater tots which is not on the online menu, I was expecting fries. But the tots were good so I didn’t complain. The bartender gave me a chip for waiting for a beer. I went in today and RJ the bartender told me I couldn’t sit at the bar, understandable considering covid rules, but then pulled out the necessary guards that frankly should have been up anyway and sat a couple who was waiting for bar seats. Why didn’t he do that before?

RJ also informed the hostess that his friends should be sat at the table overlooking the bar and that he would take care of them. I sat at the table next to the door for roughly 20 minutes before RJ came back and asked if I’d like another drink.

When I asked RJ if this was the standard service he looked like he was about to cry. He said he was just too busy and when I pointed out that he seated his friend he just apologized profusely. Caught in a lie?

I didn’t come there to drink. I came for to-go order of shepherds pie. I will never come...

A Buffalo Pub with an Irish flair that is known for its excellent food. My husband and I decided to try it for the first time on a recent Friday night. We were in the mood for a fish fry and they are rated as one of the best in Buffalo. It's only available on Friday evenings.

In the summer, you can dine in our outside on their large patio. We opted to dine inside and were treated to eclectic decor. The menu is extensive and features more than your usual pub fare. There are fine dining options, such as broiled scallops with artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms served over linguine in a white wine sauce.

We ordered their beer battered fish fry. You also have a choice of breaded or broiled, but any true Buffalonian orders beer- battered. It was crispy on the outside and flaky and moist on the inside... just as it should be.

It is served with cole slaw, starch salad du jour (potato, macaroni, etc.) and choice of potato. Their house specialty is homemade jalapeno tater tots and ne sure to try them. They have just the right amount of "kick" to them.

There is an extensive draft beer list and they offer specialty cocktails. Service is very attentive and quick. This was our first time here and we'll...

Me and my boyfriend go here all the time and never have problems. Last night we went for dinner with friends for my boyfriends birthday. We got seated at 8:10 and never received our orders till 9:30. The waitress was very behind and the inside of the restaurant only had maybe 1 or 2 other tables. There were a few other waitress on so it wasn't that they were short staffed in the dinning area. We ordered appetizers and they didnt come for at least 1/2 hour. Anyways the food came out all messed up and cold. They made medium rare burgers for people in our party that ordered well cooked. My french onion chicken that i love was a big disappointment. It was salty and the noodles looked they were sitting in the kitchen alll night they were hard. The waitress never gave me my soup that came with the meal I ordered and she hardly ever came back to refill water or drinks. We were so upset with the service. The waitress did however give me my soup to take home but that was after me telling her numerous times that she never brought it out to me. We really enjoy coming here and I dont like to complain but I feel that management needs to know. Our friends that came, it was the first time and they said...
