   Very expensive for low quality items. We had a table of 4 where our waiter was okay, not super attentive but also not the worst. We tried to go to the bar to get our first round of drinks but they refused and said we need to order from our table. Not sure how our bill added up to over $250 when all we got was 2 apps and drinks. The drinks were definitely not worth the price for the quality, as I felt as if there was barely any alcohol in them and not very big (we got cocktails not beer). The pretzel was tasty and came out in a decent amount of time. The noise level was definitely loud, hard to have a conversation at the table without yelling but I understand the point is to listen to music and have a good time and dance on the benches. The time it took to receive our drinks was a bit of a wait and they were not super accurate. Overall we did have a fun time because of the event that was happening but I thought it was ridiculous that we had to pay for parking just because an event was going on, and $15 isn't cheap to park in their own lot, not our fault that there was another event in town that we had to pay parking for. Spending approximately $150+ bucks for one night, one appetizer and 4 drinks seems excessive for one person.

   Everything was great for the event 90’s night. Just when we arrived an hour before the event the hostess and server did not know about the 10$ donation in which you receive a half liter of beer or a glass of wine. This caused some confusion but it was sorted out rather quickly and we were comped the 10$ off of our bill. Our server was awesome, she brought us drinks all night and remembered everyone’s order. Highly recommend for a girls night out or a casual dinner

   Fun atmosphere. We were a table of 4 & sat in the balcony. Music was terrific. The waitress, Alicia, told us they were very busy & had many reservations today. We all ordered together, but 2 dinners arrived more than 10 minutes after the other 2. She said the kitchen was doing its best and her helper was new. Please have your kitchen coordinate so everyone's meal arrives together at a table. Dinners were delicious and abundant. We all ordered something different so we saw a great variety. Pretzel appetizer was happily shared by the 4 of us. Overall, an enjoying experience.

   I always have an enjoyable time here. Food is very good and and good variety of drinks. Although the feel is spacious the ambiance from strategic lighting makes it cozy and the temperature is always comfortable. Servers are excellent, friendly and know how to smile .i have been at Hofbrauhaus many times and for special events like tonight. I dance with my group Be Witched Buffalo for a local charity and we preformed there tonight. Up front or interacting with customers while dancing in the aisles is always a blast and the Haus is always accommodating . Can miss with this Buffalo favorite

   The food was okay, I believe the fish fry was frozen not fresh fish as it was mushy, plus during lent to run out by 630 pm on fish is ridiculous as there are not many other non meat options. So the others in our party that ordered were told to pick something else. Then later in the evening we saw them serving fish frys. The waitress was friendly but very slow. Parking at $15 and entry fee of $10 makes it pricey just to walk in the door. Plus money for beers and eats. It's not a place I would frequent often.

    The brunch was excellent. Everything in the buffet was delicious I'm not always a fan of buffets but limiting the selections and focusing in the quality was a great decision. I wouldn't have changed a thing. The music was also terrific.
