New York Beer Project Lodge - Orchard Park, New York

Christine Keeves

First of all, I am not a beer drinker so I cannot review them. I happened to go to this location twice in one week and both times I sat at the bar near the grove. I was also waited on the same bartender Michael L each time. He was polite, attentive, and had good food recommendations . My boyfriend got a pizza the first visit and I got the chicken tacos by Michael’s recommendation. Pizza was good and those tacos were packed with tasty chicken! The second time around I came with my Mom. She wanted the mozzarella log appetizer so I just ordered a side Caesar for my meal to offset the gluttony. The logs were massive, but to me the breading could use some more seasoning. My mother got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and Michael suggested adding truffle fries. I ended up winning on this choice as I polished off about half these delicious fries after my Mom got full! I will be ordering that sandwich next time I come because it looked and smelled great! This place is massive, but my Mom was able to get around fine with her walker. We left through the grove exit, as the bar area was getting crowded. I think beer prices seem on par with other breweries, well drinks are a little pricey and wine is reasonably priced.

First time at this new Place. The building is magnificent! Very much a grand place, huge bar and seating, very impressive. The menu was a diverse choice of traditional pub style choices. We had a table of 4 and everyone liked their food choices. we each had a beverage from the bar, i ordered the Lager, was told they were out of that and several others!! Then our waitress came back to the table and surprise they had more. Tried it, it was good. everyone else enjoyed their drinks. We sat in the "Kelly" room, with large windows and high ceiling. The acoustics are terrible, the room was full for lunch and we had a very difficult time hearing the conversation at my table it was so loud. Burger I had was good, nothing special, it was warm and cooked correctly, not hot, like it was done and waiting in the window to be served. Fries were cold, definitely were out of the fryer for some length of time.

Look, I like NYBP in Lockport, so idk what happened at the hamburg location..
We ordered the wedge salad first. That came out absolutely smothered in dressing. It was just way too much for one salad.
Next, we ordered 20 wings super extra extra crispy. The waitress even typed it in that way.
Idk why it’s so difficult for a cook to leave the wings in the fryer for an extra 4 minutes… but they were absolutely NOT crispy what so ever. They were fatty and HUGE wings. Definitely pumped with hormones. They were not even good! They took them back and we were able to order something else.
We got the cauliflower crust buffalo chicken pizza. Which should be good? Right?
Wrong.
First off… who puts the toppings UNDER the cheese? And why is there 1Lb of cheese on each slice!!? I tried taking the cheese off and all the chicken and onion was stuck to it leaving just a dry burnt crust to naw on…
Honestly I don’t think we will be coming back here again. The food just isn’t the same.. very disappointing.

Just had a very nice meal here. Completely beautiful! It was so much fun just the moment you started walking toward the door from outside. The music playing like it's a grand entrance.was super great. Hannah was our waitress and very attentive! Food was very tasty! Had the nachos which were on point and also the NYPD celebration sandwich and the crab cake meal all was suburb! Hannah encouraged us to explore the place. It's completely massive but what a great place to host a wedding or party! 10/10 will definitely be there again!!

I’ve gone three times now since opening. The building is stunning and really has the lodge look and feel to it. An impressive entrance with various animal paw prints on the concrete walkway. A very cool touch. *WARNING* if you’re looking to have conversation at the table and actually want to hear this is not the place for you. It’s very loud and you’ll be talking loudly just to hold a conversation*

The bar room on the right is open seating and has a massive wall tv with all the sports. This side is first come first serve. The bar room on the left you will wait for a table. Sometimes upwards if an hour or more. The first two times we ordered the soft pretzel and queso to start. The pretzel was hard and very tough. On the third visit we ordered it lightly baked and it came out soft and it was delicious. The beer cheese that comes with the pretzel has a slight kick to it and is real tasty. My wife and I split the beef on weck and seasonal crab cakes. The roast beef was a perfect medium rare and delicious. The crab cake we loved and said we’d put it up with the quality you receive when visiting the coast. The menu says fresh cut fries however the bar tender said that’s not actually the case but the box they have in the freezer says “fresh cut” so that’s what they have in the menu. The “fresh cut fries” are subpar but the sweet potato fries with their cinnamon sauce was amazing. I ordered the Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese and although it was good the portion size for the price has been undercut. On the third visit my wife did another beef on weck but this time the roast beef came out overcooked and it was tough and chewy. I opted for the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and I have to say it wasn’t even the tiniest bit spicy. It was a fried chicken breast with like a mild dry rub. It was more like a chicken patty sandwich and I would not recommend if you’re looking for something with heat to it. We toured the event center space upstairs and if you can afford to host your event here I can promise you it’ll be a huge hit with your guests. Each room is beautifully decorated and there is a theme behind each room. Out of the three visits I can say that we will return, we hope though some quality or product changes are made as the restaurant settles in.

New York Beer Project in Orchard Park is a beer lover's paradise, akin to a Bass Pro for beer. The place is huge, offering a visually stimulating environment. Our waitress, Nikki, was exceptional. She went above and beyond in her service, offering a fantastic selection of food that was absolutely delicious. The variety and quality of beer is impressive. A must-visit for any beer enthusiast.

Drive down a road that seems to go no where. Pull into a massive parking lot with plenty of spots available. After emergering from my car, we were greeted with the familiar sounds of a Disney theme park. Inviting but also unexpected. As we get closer to the door my wife notices rocking chairs. Are we at a cracker barrel? We enter. In sync we say "it smells new" we wait in line at the host stand for a moment. We're greated and told that it was a 2 hour wait. Thinking 7pm on a Friday we would be safe to get a table, boy were we wrong. The place was packed. Luckily we were informed of the bar room in the back which was a first come first serve basis. Somehow, all the stars aligned and in the midst of the chaos there was one open table calling our names. We sat down. Immediately greeted by Brooke who was great all night. Below is what our table ordered and how I would rate it

Motzarella Logs: 12/10 they're the size of a newborn child.

Bang bang shrimp: 10/10

Philly cheese steak hot pocket 10/10

Chicken wing dip 8/10 a little dry but still tastes good.

Shrimp soup 7/10 a little sweet.

All in all the food was great.

We then wander outside to the beer garden which has plenty of seating, is dog friendly, corn hole friendly and there's a fireplace for your wives that are always cold in 90 degrees to sit by. Definitely coming back to try the pizza and wings.

Came here with some friends for a girls night out and very happy we did. The staff is very friendly, food is good and the atmosphere is great. Our server was Nikki and she was wonderful. Will be going back again.
