"When Downtown's Big Ditch opened in a converted garage in 2014, it helped turn a formerly sterile area into a hot spot for locals. Today, it continues to draw fans with a range of pints brewed in-house, plus a two-level taproom with seating for 200 and garage doors that open onto the sidewalks. Anywhere from six to 12 beers are on tap at a given time, with options ranging from IPAs and saisons to stouts and ales. If it’s available, be sure to try the Make Me Want to Stout—a coffee-and-cream brew that’s one of Big Ditch’s most popular offerings."

Pretzel bites were very good. Hey burner wings were delicious. Steak sandwich was great as was the beef weck. The fries were a little greasy and had skin, but more than enough of them. The Service was great. Get here early as this place gets very busy. While today is the first time eating here, the last time, we left due to a long wait. The beverage selection was plentiful. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday They open at 4pm. (Friday, Sat, Sun at 11am) CLOSED TUESDAY’s Closing time is 10pm (Except Friday, Sat at 11pm, Sunday at 8pm) There are a few TV’s and a Large Bar.

We were excited to find this hot spot in downtown Buffalo. The restaurant definitely had a cool vibe and the server was amazing. We tried a bunch of things including the cheese curds, chili, salmon and Cobb Salad. Everything was delicious! The cheese curds with Marinara sauce were some of the best I’ve had. The Cobb salad was huge and very fresh and the chicken was cooked perfectly. The salmon was very fresh and tasted great with the fingerling potatoes. I didn’t love the chili, but I’m from the south and we make our chili a little differently. If you are in Buffalo, Big Dutch is a winner!

Out of town for graduation. Our son recommended this place he visited once. Very nice clean atmosphere, large dining area with second floor. Great options on menu. Everything we had was generous and delicious. The beer selections were great and the gift shop was nicely stocked. It was nice to get a small assortment of beers to go . Our server Randi , was so good , informative and fun. Definitely would stop in again if in the area.

Staying at the Embassy Suites and looked on Google maps to see what was around. Wanted some place that also served food. This looked like a place to hit, just a few minutes walk from the hotel. WOW! Beers and food are delicious. Noticed on the TV screen they also have a Sunday brunch. My coworker, who has been all around the country, said the Brueben sandwich was the best he's had. He wants to come back just for that...and a couple beers! I had the steak fries, very good. This is some place they have here! Here for a few more days and will be back to try more!

Nice brewery with some great selections of draft beer! Foods being served are good to pair with different types of beer! Nice spring days to be out and enjoy!

Beer selections to appeal to all palettes. Enjoyed the flight and recommend the Dayburner. If you're not a beer-drinker, ask about their seasonal slush option...so good! We didn't order food but every plate coming out of the kitchen looked overloaded and delicious.

I live close by and have been meaning to stop in. Glad I did today! Their Mac and cheese was awesome and the chicken fingers were perfectly fried and seasoned! Will definitely be going back to try more. Ryan was very friendly and wasted no time on making sure we were happy!!

My husband and I went here and shared 1 flight, 1 appetizer, and each had 1 entree; it was MORE than enough food. We stuffed ourselves silly, because the food was delicious. We were visiting the area from Pittsburgh, and were excited to enjoy some delicious Poutine from the apps. The beer was also phenomenal.

Excellent establishment! Food was fantastic, service was top-notch and a great ambiance. Would make it a regular if I lived in the area, no doubt. Poutine, wings, steak--all excellent, and the delish Hayburner IPA to wash it down with.

Came down here for a bite to eat during a meeting so service was dedicated to our party but past experience has always been spot on. Ordered the hot honey wings, they came quickly and were slathered with sauce and had a good crisp to them and quickly too I might add. The wings were A great balance of spicy/sweet and pretty decently sized too. Bleu cheese could have used a little more "chunk" to it imo. The blueberry cobbler sour, was a great beer to pair with this meal. A good mixture of sweet and sour notes with a nice heavy blueberry flavor.

This place is normal a 5 because generally I've always had good experiences here. Great beer, great food, great service. But need to share an experience de today 11/27 that has left a sour note. Came for Stoutsgiving as a group of us always do annually. This year we had 12 people. I arrived first at 1145. It was busy .. as expected.' Hostess checked upstairs and said there was space. So she was setting it up .. I assumed. Keep in Mind there were three 4 tops right by the door that could have been put together. But I didn't mind going upstairs. So I waited. About 5..10 minutes after I checked in a party of "8" arrived. Hostess had room upstairs. They were seated. I was t worried because obviously 12 is bigger than 8. About 2 minutes later another employee comes down "the 8 top just said they meant 8 adults 3 kids". So what happened? They stole part of the table meant for my group. The hostess comes to me and says "do it might be like 25 minutes to get you a table". I know what happened. And I said to her "the 8 too got my table? So what it sounds like is they need to be told no or to get up". Obviously this did not happen because it was easier to push me out then tell the table that lied to get seats that they couldn't have the extra space. So My group had to wait 1 hour to be seated. When we were seated .. not a single apology or any acknowledgment of what occurred. That's not ok. We never should have had to wait because of that other group that lied (and no ., there were no reservations by anyone at this place). I messaged Big Ditch about this. I know today is busy and didn't expect an immediate response. I get people don't like conflict but what happened was unprofessional and wrong. I would recommend to any parties to ask where they intend to seat you and keep an eye on it (don't lie to scam into a bigger seat). Maybe that group made a mistake. But it should not have caused my group to be so significantly inconvenienced. Whether I come to Big Ditch once a year or monthly or weekly .. shouldn't matter. Staff needs training on how to handle these situations. As it is .. I'm frustrated and mad about what happened today. Quite a sour taste in my mouth for a place I do generally not. Side note: our server was fantastic and I would happily request him in the future. Food and drinks were great. No complaints there at all. **not sure how to reply to Matt's comment. I would happily give a five star review for another experience. I'll be back and I'm happy to give another honest review, this one was based on this singular experience. For the record though .. my party was here before the party with children. So yes you should have either had them move or just said you could not give them the extra table. It's unfortunate for them but my party was there first. I was nice about it that day. There was also the darker area you weren't seating that day on the second level. You could have put my party there and not say the other area up there you ended up putting us.

Place was packed decent beer and food at this restaurant. None of the beers really stuck with me , nothing stood out where I would have to return here.

Highly recommend this spot for food and cocktails. I'm not a beer drinker, but their cocktails were really good. The food is also amazing. I loved all of the different sauce options and variety of foods. Plus they have a special every day of the week! The service was awesome as well. Wish I got our waiters name because he was fantastic and had great recommendations.

There for brunch had the brunch burger. Really good food, fries come with dipping sauce that is a unique touch. Coffee was excellent. Best part was the service. I sat at the bar and had all my questions answered by a friendly bartender. Service was fast and I had everything I needed. Left happy

Came here for a drink after having some wings for dinner at the anchor bar a few blocks away. Place was pretty packed on a Wednesday night. There were two TVs behind the bar showing baseball playoffs and the bar was full, so we had to stand and drink our beers around a high top table, which actually wasn't too bad. The main room is pretty small and there is also an upstairs room, but I'm not sure if that is only for private parties. Good selection of beers and like any brewery, they give you some samples to try. Me and my buddies all enjoyed different types of beers. Food looked pretty good, but we were all full and didn't get anything to eat. Everyone seemed to be having a good time and enjoying their food and drinks. Plenty of parking in a parking lot next to the brewery.

We stopped at Big Ditch Brewing Company before heading to a show in Buffalo, for a flight and some light snacks. I really love how industrial Buffalo is in general, and this place has made industrial look chic and beautiful. The atmosphere is welcoming and open due to the many windows that let in a ton of sunshine, with the garage doors that open if you want to sit outside. There are bars both downstairs and upstairs, with the upstairs being a little smaller and seemingly more intimate (way less people) for a 1-on-1 interaction with the bartender so we could ask plenty of questions. He was very patient and helped us pick just the right beers and apps to try. I would go back in a heartbeat. We ended up leaving with multiple 4-packs and a crower of beers!

We went mid-afternoon on a Friday. It's a big two story brewery. Very open and spacious. Not too busy or noisy, but we were also there between mealtimes. We started with the pretzel sticks. The beer cheese is actually beer cheese queso and very tasty. My husband loved his BBQ chicken wings. They were big and plump, and he couldn't stop raving about the sauce. My bacon cheeseburger was great, and cooked medium rare to order. I couldn't really taste the spicy mayo but the garlic aioli I got for my fries was great. My blueberry lemonade with vodka was light and refreshing. My husband liked his old fashioned so much, he has a couple more. Great service. We look forward to the Big Ditch Brewing planned for Lockport.

Need Beer? We stopped here on a Monday afternoon to grab some beer and a sandwich before heading to the Buffalo airport. I got a huge Reuben and a salad and it was tasty. $20. My husband got the shrimp poor boy. And it was a little sad looking not much shrimp and very small so I gave him some of my sandwich. The beer was very good We had the Red. My sister got the cheese curds and they were good fried hot and fresh. This brewery is located right down town in Buffalo. So you have to pay to park. I'm not a big fan of downtown areas but this was a great place to stop quickly before heading to the airport. This place is huge with an upstairs and extra little rooms for parties. The lady told us they have been around for over 8 year's looks like they're doing real well. If I'm ever back in Buffalo I'll stop in and say hello.

Excellent brew pub in downtown buffalo. A solid 4.5 It's nice and new with huge windows. Huge beer section and the two I tried were great. Had the chips wit three dips: corn salsa, pico and queso. All 3 very nice and go good with a brew. Tried special salad sort of a Cobb but with barbecue Sauce and chicken. Very good although the yard house does better. Version. The wife had the steak fritte. Also very good

Delicious nachos,burgers and Breubens. Especially the Breuben, they chop the corned beef and serve it on delicious bread. The fries are hand cut and great. They use queso cheese on the nachos which makes them very tasty. The Hayburner beer is very good. The service was quick. The inside tends to be very noisy because of bad acoustics.

Excellent brewery with good beers and amazing food. I like to do beer flights when it's my first time somewhere so I was pleased to see they offer 5 tasters in their flights. All their beers were good, nothing stellar but very drinkable. The food is the star of the show. We got the cheese curds appetizer with marinara sauce. Wow, delicious. My 5yo daughter got the cheese pizza kids meal and she ate better than I've ever seen her. Thank you Big Ditch! My wife and I split the fried chicken Mac & cheese. This might have been my favorite thing I've eaten in months. Incredible melted cheese and the fried chicken strips were crisp to perfection. They also have a nice nook inside with shirts, stickers, beers, etc to shop. They offer some 6 packs to go but also beer singles which is my preferred method so I can try more. Plenty of free parking too on the side of building. A+ and how every brewery should operate

We came for the 9th anniversary party. It was a really cool idea. kinda like a tiny Epcot event. Not sure what our servers name was but he was great, kept us informed with what was going on with our drinks. He was not familiar with the event rules, and apologized multiple times (which is a poor part on the managers and owners for not ensuring the staff knew the process for the tickets, passport, etc). So he ended up giving us a whole sleeve of tickets for the raffle and two passports (unfortunately we still didn't win anything). We got the passport and tried each food and drink item from each country: India 6/10 Tandoori chicken - little dry but soft and tender. Great season/spices Basmati rice - plain, cooked good Cucumber tomato salad - fresh, really good. Venezuela 7/10 Stewed pulled pork - tender. Cooked well. Good flavor. Rice - plain, cooked good Fried plantain - plain, dry, kinda flavorless. Jamaica 3/10 Jerk chicken skewer (chicken, pepper, pineapple) - chicken is so soft it feels like I'm eating fuzz. Spicy red beans - didn't even try these cause I don't like spice or beans. Japan 7/10 Sushi wonton (smoked salmon, cucumber, carrot, avocado, rice in a wonton bowl) - definitely did not have avocado in it. Germany 10/10 Apple strudel square - apples are cooked nicely, cinnamon sugar is good and the strudel topping is good, nice and sweet. Delicious dessert. From the regular menu: Wild mushroom burger 8/10 The burger itself was cooked great, but it needed more seasoning and just flavor in general. Half of the burger you got the pear and the other half you got mushrooms, it wasn't evenly spread out. I did like all of the things on it though. Definitely needed more aioli too.

A nice brewery in the heart of downtown Buffalo and not far from the theater district. We took advantage of the free parking in the lot next door for this fun yelp event. Yelp had the back room with its own bar and bartender for this event. The room is spacious and has garage doors that can be opened on warmer days/evening. There were dedicated bathrooms for this back area too. We enjoyed that there were no tvs playing sports or anything else but a drink and food list. It made it easier to have a conversation and enjoy the company you were with. We always love Brandon's surprise Yelp gifts. This time he had yelp beer glasses for everyone to take home; which were very appropriate for this event .

Came with a big group of 12 people and right away the hosts were very accommodating. It's an open big space great for groups. I ordered the Mexican coffee cocktail and thought it was a little too strong (basically tasted like tequila with coffee). Had to ask the waiter to add coffee to it because it was too strong. I also got the pork belly stir fry and my partner got the hot chicken. Hot chicken looked small and the bun was a little tasteless. The pork belly dish was full of flavor and veggies. It was great! Others ordered things such as the nachos (which were huge) and poutine (also very big). Beers were fabulous! The servers were great and very accommodating!

What was good? The beer, I guess. And the Buffalo wings were so-so and poutine was okay. But the nachos were inedible and the brussels sort of dish wasn't even cooked - inedible. And the warm pretzel- tasted stale and none of us wanted to eat it.

One word: Hayburner This is the IPA that doesn't taste like an IPA and the one beer that everyone in Buffalo seems to be raving about. They are not wrong. It's delicious, light and crisp. Nothing like a typical IPA yet still seems to be loved by IPA drinkers. While in town, actually it was as soon as I got out of the airport, I came here for lunch because I was starving and it was in close proximity to my hotel. I started with their cinnamon apple beer. It was so warm and comforting and I would have opt'd for a second but everyone kept telling me about this Hayburner. Once I tried it though, I loved it, obviously. For lunch I got the Apple Brie Melt. The cinnamon cooked apples paired really well with my beer. The sourdough was was toasted to perfection while the Brie was perfectly melty. Not to be overlooked were the fries. Now I'm not typically a fry girl but these fries were some of the best I've had in my life. Handcut and perfectly salted, I couldn't stop eating them! This place is one of the reasons why I won't wait so long to go back to Buffalo.

Man this place is so so good their beers are delicious and their food is great too! There is a lot of space here and they open up the doors in summer for nice weather. This would be an awesome place to watch a game or have a beer in the evening. The burger was awesome and their fries and sauces were ewually fantastic! Can't wait to come back!

Hadn't been here in a while, we attended the Ride for Roswell event. They definitely weren't ready for the amount of riders and friends that showed up. They started with only 1 bartender and the event almost had to turn people away, finally they decided to allow tickets at the main bar which was very helpful. And a ton of us decided to eat dinner so a win win for Big Ditch

One of the better brewpubs in Buffalo. A LOT of room and an entire second floor with an additional bar. The food is killer, and the beer selection is quite varied and tasty. My wife and I split the corned beef hash plate and still couldn't finish the whole thing! I got the Beer-Mosa flight which was very good and better than I expected. Another in our party got the avocado toast with salmon on the side. Again, absolutely massive portions. If we lived here, this would be one of our regular stops.

It's been quite a while since I've stopped into Big Ditch and grabbed a meal but happy to report the experience was just as good! I came with my cousin on a Wednesday evening for a brewery tour put on by Explore Buffalo around 5:30pm and stayed for dinner afterwards. We easily grabbed chairs at the bar around 6:30pm and the bar tender working immediately came over and brought out drink and food menus. He was great, checking in on us periodically and generally being a nice guy. The time it took for our food to arrive was very reasonable and the prices were in-line with the quality and quantity we received. Sipping on their History Buff (Kolsch) and Classic Wit (Belgian-style Wheat Ale), I enjoyed for dinner their Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich, fried, and a side of hand-cut fries with their Excavator BBQ sauce, from their list of Signature Sauces, to dip. The chicken was coated in hot honey and topped with cilantro sour cream, pickled red onion, lettuce, and cucumber. This was a very good sandwich, not my favorite, but still very good! The hot honey had a nice kiss of heat to it but the cilantro sour cream balanced it out and added creaminess. Looking at the sandwich, I thought it'd be pretty messy, but I was pleasantly surprised. The side of fries tasted great and I loved the Excavator BBQ sauce, totally would get that sauce again. When the plate arrived, I was a bit skeptical that it would fill me up, but when all was eaten (and drank), I was perfectly satiated, I didn't want any more. Happy to see Big Ditch Brewing Company (and taproom) is just as good as the last time I came a few years back! I look forward to dropping in again, whether it be for a beer or two, or for a meal.

I really enjoyed it here. Met a friend for a drink and dinner after work. It was my first time here. Extremely clean, and very quick and friendly service. We sat and ate at the bar as well. Their menu was bigger than I thought it would be for being a brewery. Options for every type of eater. They have a gift shop as well here if you were looking for a souvenir. Large upstairs area for parties if you were looking to plan something in the future. Bathroom was very clean as well which is always a plus in my book. I recommend completely

A lot of people recommended Big Ditch when we asked for dinner suggestions. We weren't disappointed. It was slow on Halloween night, only a handful of tables. Our server was friendly and made some great food suggestions. We hadn't had lunch so we were starving: nachos, wild mushroom burger, Caesar salad and thr Nashville pizza with some seasonal beers. The nachos were huge, but odd with the shredded iceberg lettuce. Burger was cooked rare as requested and excellent with hand-cut fries. Pizza was interesting, but I wouldn't order it again. Overall solid recommendation if you are in downtown Buffalo.

We stopped in for lunch on a Friday, it was busy but not insane. We were seated right away and drinks and food came normal time. We had to wait for our check which was the longest wait. I had the hot honey chicken sandwich which was delicious. I also had the Nog beer and it was really good for a holiday ale! At one point the fan went on high and we felt like the garage doors opened but they turned it down after a few minutes.

It's rare to find a brewery that check all the boxes; great beer, high quality food, excellent service, and an engaging atmosphere. We visited Buffalo over a long weekend and enjoyed Big Ditch Brewery so much we dined here twice. I highly recommend the Dayburner IPA and Reuben sandwich. You'll be hard pressed to find a pairing as delightful.

My fiance and I came here for dinner and we loved it! We have been here many times before, so we decided to come back since we were in the area. I absolutely am obsessed with their chicken Mac and cheese. It is so cheesy and delicious. My fiance tried their new tortellini and he really enjoyed it and said he would get it again. We also got the loaded tots special for the chiefs game and they were great! The space is large and was all decorated for Christmas. The server, hostess, and manager were all so friendly as my fiance needed to purchase a keg. Highly recommend!

This is one of, if not my favorite breweries in Buffalo! We were here for the anniversary party most recently and it is always a blast here. Of course, Hayburner is a great beer, but they make so many other great beers such as Dayburner or the Pineapple Burner. If you want an IPA, Big Ditch is the place! The bartenders here are awesome, the service is always great!

Sometimes it can be hard to find a good late-night food option in Buffalo, but I was happy to finally get to try Big Ditch as one of those options. I often judge a restaurant on its pretzels, and these ones were super delicious. For my main, the pasta was perfectly cooked and I loved the sauce. It was super creamy and savory and hit all the right notes. Our server was absolutely wonderful and had a great personality, and despite there being a party in the next room, it was still decently quiet. I'm not a fan of having to yell across a table, so I appreciated the atmosphere. Would definitely go again!

After a shuffling around holiday markets around downtown Buffalo, food was a must. Someone in our group suggest Big Ditch, and away we went. A beer and food sounded good. Despite it being relatively busy (nearly 5pm on a Saturday evening), we were seated immediately. We were served fairly quickly and orders taken. For some reason, I gravitated toward the "Make Me Wanna Stout." It was a cool evening and a stout sounded like an ideal cold weather beer. It did not disappoint. Food wise, I really wanted the Hayburner Chili, as it said it was a meat based chili. I looked up pix on Yelp and it appeared it had beans...despite no mention of them in the meat based bio. I'm that odd guy who hates beans in chili. So I asked, and yep...beans, so it was a no-go. Moved onto my second option, the Hot Honey Chicken sandwich. Like the beer, it did not disappoint. I was happy with my selection. Everyone else in our group seemed to enjoy their choices. Win-Win for all. Despite the busyness of the restaurant, service was great. Food and drink awesome too.

Big Ditch has great beer (Hayburner is one of our favorites), but we don't go to the brewery all that often now that I no longer work downtown. We stopped by for a drink and got a side order of tater. The tots did not disappoint and came with your choice of dipping sauces. We had the salt & vinegar aioli and I highly recommend it. It had just the right amount of vinegar, so it wasn't overpowering. The beer was wonderful, as usual. I also found that the service was much better than I remembered it being. Our bartender was excellent, attentive, and very personable. Thanks for a great stop on a Saturday afternoon!

Today I ordered the wild mushroom burger. Angus ground beef, roasted garlic aioli, cremini mushrooms caramelized pears and Swiss cheese. It is served with a generous amount of fries and one of 6 dipping sauces. I picked the deliciously hot and sweet honey sriracha. Our waitress was very friendly and seemed very knowledgeable about the menu. Marissa also paid attention and was there with the water pitcher just as I emptied my glass.

This was yet another fantastic stop while visiting the Electric City (No, not Scranton...). Just few blocks from many downtown hotels, it's a gem. It's a nice sized brewery with tables on two levels, and bar seating. All of the staff were friendly and the place was kept clean. The Brewben I had was delicious and everything that passed me going to other tables looked fantastic. Pricing is normal with most meals in the $14-$19 range.

Decent spot to hang. Spicy queso! Came on a Monday evening, lots of room and good atmosphere. Tried a flight of beers and nachos with Pork. The nachos were really difficult to eat because the cheese was very spicy. Cheesecake was from a bakery in Lewiston and was good.

I really enjoy the beer offerings here, at least one is in my fridge no matter the time of year. Decided to stop in for brunch since their socal media lured me with delicious looking foods! The wait wasn't long when we got there but the opening rush cleared them out of the brunch menu items I was interested in. Switched to a burger, it was perfectly cooked and the bruben hash I was able to taste was good too. Our server was very busy and apologetic but we noticed no glitches aside from the absent food items. Apparently there was a line around the building when they opened. I'm not sure if that's the norm but we had a wonderful brunch complete with a mimosa flight and a couple 4 packs to go.

Went for a late night dinner and drinks and overall it was a good experience. The one reason I knocked a star (which maybe isn't fully fair), but you can't get whatever you want on the beer flight. You have to choose five unique options so if there's something that you particularly like or interested in trying, you can only get it once which was a little disappointing. Because of this, I settled on just one drink since there weren't five different things I was interested in. In terms of the food I had the Italian market pizza ($15), which came pepperoni and sausage on it. Nothing to write home to mom about but it was good. My friend ordered the Hayburner wings and got a side of fries and mac & cheese as well. Fries came out pretty cool already when we tried them and they were just OK, but the mac & cheese was good. Nice and cheesy.

Big Ditch is the BEST Buffalo-based brewery. I am never disappointed in their drink choices. In addition to the great beers, Big Ditch has a great menu. It's one of my favorite places to take people who are visiting Buffalo. The staff is always friendly and it's a fun, vibrate place to enjoy a drink and/or meal with friends.

We stopped here for a quick drink on a Thursday at 4pm and were seated right away. We shared a flight and enjoyed all of our picks - an Oktoberfest that had a nice sweetness to it, a sour beer that was pleasantly sour and fruity but not TOO sour, a mellow wheat beer, an easy to drink IPA, and a cinnamon apple beer. The flight came with five 5 oz pours and it was the perfect amount. By the time we left at 5pm, every table was packed! The space is airy with lots of seating and our server was pleasant and funny! We found street parking right out front.

Big Ditch has a great beer list with tons of options of beer. It's a typical sports bar vibe inside. Food is fairly generic bar food, but decent quality and price. I've had great service every time I've been as well.

We came here for a Ride for Roswell fundraiser "Beers and Gears." We donated to the Ride and received 2 tickets for 2 beers. We had the Beer that Tastes Like Beer and Flow Rider. Both were very tasty and delicious. We decided to order food as well . We got the pulled pork quesadilla and the Short Ribs. We enjoyed both very much. The menu should state that it's A short rib, as there was only one served.. This is a fun place with tasty food and beer.
