| - I have been visiting Harry Buffalo every Wednesday for the past eight weeks! Why? Because they have been hosting an Idol Karaoke contest, which is a knockoff of American Idol. My cousin competed in the contest and ended up taking 2nd place. I'm writing my review because I have had extensive interaction with this bar and its staff.
Service:
Overall the service is good, but not great. Sometimes, when the bar is very busy, the waitresses forget to push beer on the patrons. The goal is to sell as much beer as possible right? So I would expect them to sprint back and forth with beer. Nope, they casually take your drink order and skip some people at your table as if they're not there...as if being a waitress and having to write something down is difficult. I think they want to memorize your drink order so they don't have to write stuff down. But when the place is packed and there are 8 people standing around one table, you can't just ask one dude, "What would you like" and then go fetch his order. No, you ask everyone and write that stuff down! Waitresses did it wrong and some did it right. Strange.
Food:
Only tried one sandwich and I don't remember the name of it, but it was excellent. My cousin ordered the same sandwich almost every week and it was amazing. It was very consistent, the taste and quality. The fries are okay too.
Atmosphere:
On Wednesday nights, the atmosphere is great except for the second hand cigarette smoke. The place is usually full (due to the Idol contest) and people are talking and drinking. You can play board games like Connect4, Sorry, Uno, etc too! They have one Xbox 360 available to play also, which is nice if you like Madden. There is a full bar, full kitchen, plenty of seats, and an outdoor patio. Since it is illegal in Ohio to smoke indoors at a public establishment, everyone smokes on the patio. Smoking is my pet peeve, by the way. So when people go outside to smoke in the partially enclosed patio, the smoke hits the ceiling and accumulates out there. It doesn't drift away as it would in a roofless patio. Here's the kicker, when the door opens, all the smoke comes rushing into the bar, filling it with smoke. It's terrible! It doesn't matter where you sit, you will wreak like smoke when you leave. That's the biggest drawback from a non-smoker's perspective and an anti-second-hand-smoke advocate. This is a bad thing.
Additionally, there are plenty of flat screen TVs to watch the Cavs game or football on. There is free Wi-Fi for you Internet surfers too!
Overall, I would recommend Harry Buffalo, especially the bison burgers. But if you don't like smoke, this particular location will bother you when it's busy. When it's not busy, it isn't an issue.
