Group Ther-Happy — Restaurant in Town of Busti

If I could rate this with zero stars, I would. We had dinner here this weekend with three other people. The experience was fine overall. Our server checked in once during our 50 minute wait for food to refill our waters and grab another beer for us. After 50 minutes, a side salad came out and we were told our food was being finished up.

The food was honestly inedible. One Pittsburg salad came out with steak that looked microwaved. The server asked how we'd want the steak and medium rare was the cook. The steak came out dark gray and tough. Definitely not what I'd hope for with a $20 salad. The Chicken Parm was sent back. The hamburger roll was completely dissolved on the bottom like it had sat for an hour at least. My food was a wedge salad. I made it through half before the salad was blue cheese soup. The Bahn mi sandwich came out with no semblance of fish. Both me and my fiance thought it was a chicken sandwich before picking at it to make sure it was tuna. That fish was again, dry and overcooked.

After asking the waitress to take the sandwich back, we only saw her one other time to drop the check. I didn't even get a reason out for not finishing the sandwich before she took off to throw the plate away. I typically understand working in rough kitchens, but when the food is that bad you'd hope the service would make up for it.

The waitress explained the head chef walked out, so I'd hold off ever going back until the kitchen gets back...

One of our favorite places in all of Chautauqua County!

The play on “group therapy” is an apt name for a place where groups can enjoy a bounty of comfort food together.

Now when you read “comfort food,” you may be expecting a bunch of unhealthy junk food…

And don’t get me wrong, they have that…

But Group Ther-Happy features plenty of healthy options on their menu too.

Some of our favorites on their menu are their pizzas. If we want pizza, but we want to don’t want to be TOO unhealthy about it, we order from Group Ther-Happy. Specifically, we often order their cauliflower crust!

Now don’t you stick your nose up at that… Their cauliflower crust is delicious and you honestly wouldn’t even know it’s cauliflower if it didn’t say so on the menu.

The Buffalo Chicken Wing pizza is one of the best (if not THE best) in the entire county—no matter what kind of crust you get it on.

Our other favorites come from their appetizer (or “Shareables”) menu: Nachos and Pickles w/ a Punch!

We’ve been meaning to try their burgers because they sound great, but we haven’t been able to pull ourselves away from our favorites yet.

I would post pics, but I ate everything before I thought to write a review. Sorry,...

We were at our vacation rental on the Chautauqua Lake and we're looking for somewhere to grab a bite, and Group Ther-Happy was recommended, and it did not disappoint.

Let me start with the service, it was great. Shaq was quick, whitty and made the experience there that much better.

The food was good. The cheese and pepperoni pizza was loaded with cheese (way above average anywhere else), so it is filling. Quality cup and char pepperoni too! The Fungi pizza was good, but seemed a little lean on the mushrooms. The burger was reported to be tasty, although if you opt for the beer cheese, it can be on the heavy side. But you can always pull some off.

They do have anb patio, nice bar area and TV's to follow sports etc. A spot we'd recommend if you are in the Lakewood area.

Bonus. The women in our group found the Expresso martinis to be above average. They also enjoyed the sign for the bathrooms. ...
