Always amazing food and service at ABV. So many delicious burgers. It will be sorely missed 🙁 get in and give ’em some business before they close on Jan 31, 2026. Highly recommend the PB/jalapeño burger. Planning to get back before they shut the lights off for good.

This place is fantastic! We were visiting from OOT and came twice. Not only are the burgers great, their wings were the best that we had from any of the restaurants in the immediate area! They also had some fantastic warm drinks that were perfect for a snowy buffalo evening!!!

Everything was perfect! We tried wings and fried calamari for appetizers which were tasty. Burgers were also top notch. The place itself has a cute design and pleasant atmosphere.

People in my foodie group were raving about the burgers here, ….I don’t get it. My friend and I both agreed you could go buy some ground beef, season it with some salt and cook it at home and save yourself $20. There was nothing special about the burger at all. It was quite greasy, the only flavor I detected was a little bit of salt, it was just so bland. …and the french fries and onion rings were bland, there was nothing flavorful about anything we got here. Nothing to write home about and would not come back. If you want an amazing burger that will actually impress you, go to the Gin Mill in ellicottville. THAT is a delicious Burger. Service was good, our waitress was helpful and friendly, the atmosphere of the place was nice but the food was just mediocre.

I can only describe the menu (specifically burgers) as whimsical, if you lean into the ridiculous ingredients you’ll enjoy this place. I got the number 6 and was pleasantly surprised, the bun was soft and delicious, the meat was flavorful it could’ve used maybe onions or lettuce but it was still great! They’re sorta skimpy on the sides for the price point but otherwise a fun place to eat at for special occasions! Their service is very quick and friendly additionally, they offer mock tails for non drinkers.

Had an incredible experience at ABV tonight. We were treated by the most gracious host who made us immediately feel welcome and set the tone for a fantastic meal. Her name was Val. Then our table server Rachel was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed even when the kitchen was about to close. Prince, brought us our meals and again made sure we had everything we needed with a smile. And finally, Heather who waited on other tables still checked on us even when we weren’t part of her area.
I am going to miss these folks when ABV closes and will follow this staff where ever they end up. If you are looking for the varsity team to add to your staff please find these four and higher them, stat!

Just ordered takeout. My first time there but other family has been here. The burgers were great and the tots and fries were as well. The dip with the tots is excellent. I would like to go again though I have heard they are going to be closing down soon

The Wyck Recommendation: Allen Burger Venture
Rating: 3.7/5
Come for the Sauce, Stay for the Scene
It’s 6:47 p.m. and someone’s tot just hit the pavement.
A buzzed table claps, another orders picklebacks, and a kid walks by wearing a T-shirt that just says “MEAT.” Welcome to Allen Burger Venture. Part beer flight temple, part Buffalo street party. It’s packed, it’s proud, and somehow still pulling it off.
What Was Ordered
Beer flight with six mystery brews: cider, stout, something aggressively pink
The Famous Tots — crispy orbs more hash-brown than tot, but dunked in that apple bacon sauce? Whole other level. The house sour cream was decent, but the apple dip stole the show. Tater-wise: they’re fine. Sauce-wise: elite.
Service Commentary
Despite the patio crowd and beer chaos, service held strong. Our server was friendly, attentive, and didn’t miss a beat. The kind of low-key excellent that keeps things running without trying too hard. No complaints, just good energy.
Vibe Check
Imagine a Buffalo beer nerd bar collided with a punk-themed Airbnb. Everyone’s slightly sunburnt, a few are flirting badly, and every table feels like it’s one drink away from starting a podcast. Loud, local, sweaty in a charming way.
The Space Itself
Inside: neon buffalo signs, low lighting, rainbow string lights, and enough barstools to rotate through three life crises
Outside: umbrella forest. Split-level patios. Loud music. Uneven steps. Basically a backyard party thrown by someone with Yelp anxiety
Bathroom hallway? One door has a rooster. One has a rabbit. And John Travolta is reading on the toilet. No further notes.
About the Neighborhood
Allen Street. Buffalo. You know the deal. Tattooed dads, cyclists drinking IPAs, weird art in windows. Easy to get to, hard to leave without bumping into someone from 2014.
Hits and Misses
✓ Beer flight is fun and broad. Fruity to dark without filler
✓ Apple bacon dipping sauce deserves merch
✓ Vibe is laid-back chaos in the best way
✓ Service was friendly and efficient despite the crowd
✗ Taters are tasty but closer to fried stuffing balls than actual tots
✗ Restroom signage feels like a riddle from a barback’s dream
✗ Patio layout is a choose-your-own-adventure in stair navigation
Final Verdict
Allen Burger Venture feels like a local bar that grew up but never stopped partying. The tots were solid, but the sauces carried the team. We didn’t try the burgers this round — which, judging by the reviews, might’ve been the move. We’ll be back to test that theory. Until then: cheers, chaos, and apple bacon dip.

Tasty food and excellent service! We visited Buffalo and decided to get lunch at Allen Burger Venture from a recommendation. This ended up being a great choice as we left very satisfied! We (a group of 4) waited about 10 minutes to be seated and another 10-15 to see our waitress, but otherwise, the service was great! Our waitress Lotty was so bubbly and helpful in giving us recommendations and explaining the menu. She and another staff member (host? I don’t remember his name, but I remember his favorite burger is Number 11) made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. As for the food, for the most part, everything was great! The rest of my group had the hot calamari and said it was excellent. We also comfortably shared the Artisan Caesar salad – the sharp cambozola and garlic compliment each other very well. The burgers (we can vouch for the 4, 5, 12, and candied garlic burger) were great as well. I had the 12, and although it was good, the combination of the bun with chunks of salt on it, prosciutto, and side fried made the overall meal a bit too salty for me. I finished the burger but felt a bit dehydrated afterward and would request a normal bun if I were to get this burger again. Overall, we would definitely come back if we are in the area, and I would be curious to try some of their other burgers!
