Founding Fathers Pub

My friend Matthew and i (both Limeys/Brits), were in Buffalo for last Thursday night's big game 26/10/23 and what a day and night it was! :) Tailgate parties en-route, Cornhole, beers (plenty), the game (GO BILLS) and to top it off, we ended up at Founding Fathers Pub (which we had read about online). I just want to say how great the place is- we immediately felt at home in there- like a regular- the locals/drinkers and the Barmaid were so welcoming and friendly, so i just wanted to say a big thank you on here to all we met that evening- for helping us finish off a fab day in such a great way :) The slight hangover in the morning was the only downside but it was a 5 night holiday/vacation, so we had to go LARGE!!! :)))) Thank you all again, what a great Pub!

I have to say the reviews of this place are incredibly misleading. I’m sure this place was once a must-see destination, but it seems time has gotten the worst of it. Everything was absolutely filthy! The ketchup bottle on our table had black and brown stains all over the cap, the salt and pepper shakers also very questionable, our paper napkins and cutlery came dirty and the table was covered in crumbs… They have a popcorn machine that i wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole, you can’t even see through the glass, that thing has probably never been cleaned. The owner of the bar was friendly but strange. He kept interrupting us with American trivia questions which was annoying since it wasn’t a trivia night, we just stopped in for some lunch because the reviews were so good. He made a weird comment about his grandmother being hung, and coughed all over our food. He was also our bartender, server, AND cook???? I seriously felt like I was in an SNL skit, it was just absolutely ridiculous. My food was inedible, I literally wrapped half of it in a napkin and threw it in the garbage because I couldn’t eat it (I’m a people pleaser😂). There was a server who was sweet and normal, she was the only saving grace of that place. Be warned. If you wanna go for a good laugh, head on over. If you want a nice and basic health standards abiding place to eat, maybe consider elsewhere. Gordon Ramsey, please pay them a visit!

We went to this place because it had great reviews and sounded funky and fun. In reality it is filthy! Absolutely disgusting. Ground in dirt on the ketchup bottles, smeared dried stains on the salt and pepper shakers, utensils had dried leftover old sauce stains on them, even the paper napkins were dirty - I'm not kidding! We were constantly being challenged with trivia questions by the owner which was annoying because it wasn't even trivia night! Stay away from the popcorn, the popcorn machine is so dirty you can't see through the glass! Honestly, give this place a hard pass!!!😱 The one redeeming quality was our female server, she was lovely. This place needs a health inspector in the worst way.
