Reviews
I’ve been frequenting Buffalo Chophouse since its early days and have always cherished it as a true gem in Buffalo’s dining scene. Over the years, though, I’ve watched it evolve from a standout “diamond” experience to something closer to a solid (but not exceptional) chain steakhouse—while prices have steadily risen.
Our recent visit was average overall. Our server was very kind and attentive, though she seemed a bit subdued, quietly mentioning that several longtime menu staples have been removed. She put on a good face, but the spark that once defined the place felt dimmer.
I opted for the veal chop as a safer choice—it was pretty good and met expectations, but nothing that wowed. (Asparagus was available with other dishes, but the kitchen wouldn’t offer it as a general side.) My cousin’s Delmonico steak arrived noticeably undersized; when relayed to management, the response felt defensive and almost interrogative, so we let it go.
I’ve had many wonderful meals here in the past, but the current trend—declining consistency, menu changes, and mismatched value for the elevated prices—makes it no longer a must-visit destination for me. It’s more of a convenience spot now. I truly hope the team can recapture what made Buffalo Chophouse special—it’s still got so much potential.
The bar area and atmosphere lends to being cozy and well defined. Menu options are a la carte featuring quality steaks and seafood. There is a nice selection of desserts as well.
I went with the 12 oz fillet which was cooked to perfection. Depending on your pallet, you might want the rub applied lightly (noted so you know it’s an option). Others had the Kansas City steak, which is dry aged and was pretty delicious as well. The seafood platter featured sizable shrimp and crab legs. Some of the sides were average such as the fries and broccoli, but the mac and cheese, French onion soup and bacon were out of this world! The cheesecake was a little dry for my liking.
Overall a great experience and will certainly be back. Give him a try if you haven’t already, it won’t disappoint.
But the real standout of the night was Jack, our bartender. He was truly top tier, tanticipating our every need, showing genuine patience, and offering some of the best service I’ve had in a long time. He was always nearby without hovering and made the whole evening feel effortless and special. Huge shoutout to him for elevating our night. Highly recommend!
Buffalo Chophouse delivers an unforgettable dining experience from the moment you walk through the door. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance of upscale elegance and warm hospitality, setting the tone for a truly special evening.
The steaks are exceptional – perfectly aged, expertly seasoned, and cooked with absolute precision. Every bite is rich, tender, and full of flavor, the kind of steak that reminds you why this place is a Western New York favorite. The lamb is equally impressive – beautifully prepared, incredibly tender, and bursting with savory, delicate notes that showcase the kitchen’s skill and attention to detail.Service is where Buffalo Chophouse truly shines. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about every cut and preparation, and genuinely committed to elevating your experience. From thoughtful wine recommendations to perfect timing between courses, every detail is handled with care and professionalism.Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for the best steak and lamb in Buffalo, this restaurant delivers excellence on every level. A true five-star dining experience.
Our server was extremely polite and professional.
We started with the calamari appetizer which was large and perfect for the price.
Friend got an old fashioned which was the perfect amount of smokey to sweetness.
My Moscow mule could have been a little stronger but was great.
For our entrees my friend got a 8oz fillet medium rare, and I got 32oz bone in Ribeye medium rare. Both were cooked to perfection and the seasoning crust was top notch.
As our side we got the mac and cheese which was phenomenal with the melted crust ontop and once you got down further the cheesey deliciousness paired super well with some of the fatty steak pieces.
Would definitely be a place I’d come bsck to once a year or so.
