Welcome to Buffalo Riverworks, Buffalo’s biggest entertainment destination. The Ward @ Riverworks features contemporary American cuisine served in an industrial rustic setting. Our snow-globe inspired architecture boasts a menu of handcrafted beers and Buffalo originals, including the Riverworks Spicy Buffalo Clam Chowder, the Bacon Jam Burger, and the Trainwreck beer braised Pot Roast Stack.
We are proudly part of the Pearl Street Family of Companies, and committed to Buffalo’s renaissance, “Rebuilding Buffalo, one pint at a time!” Our fully functioning brewery, retrofitted into the former Wheeler-GLF grain elevator, is what we believe to be the first brewery inside a silo in the world! With three expansive bars inside our main facility, the fourth bar is located within the silo, adjacent to the Riverworks Beergarden. More information in the PRIVATE EVENTS section of OpenTable.

Food was nothing special to write about. Service was mediocre. Won’t be returning. Wish we would have been able to sit on the patio instead of inside.

The reservation was for 6pm which we showed up for. Got seated within minutes. Waiter was nice and got our drink order right away. When drinks came maybe 10 mins later we placed our order for 2 burgers. After waiting for almost an hour and 20 mins we decided we couldn’t wait any longer and just wanted to leave. Checked in with our waiter but just said sorry and never gave answers as to where the food was. Left super hungry and not very happy with anything

The restaurant was hosting a Mother's Day Brunch at the time I scheduled my reservation. This was not made apparent during the reservation process on OpenTable. I suggest double checking the restaurant's website for alternate events before booking. We were looking forward to the regular menu and were stuck with gross buffet food and getting our own drinks and silverware. Disappointed.

The hostess was very annoyed at the people coming in. The waffle table at the buffet was moving in slow motion and we were unable to get any of them, due to the long line. The food we did have was good! Our waitress who brought our drinks way very attentive! Overall it was a nice experience!

We had late reservations and they ran out of waffles and fried chicken, it was very disappointing! The prime rib was good but cold and they were out of the bread pudding and it didn’t appear there were any other desserts or they ran out of those too!

Cold food. Ran out of the only hot food which was waffles. Service was horrible. Waited 40 mins in line for a waffle. Someone else went up the other side of the buffet, skipping 8 people in line and got service before any of us. Waited 50 mins for our waiter to bring us our check. That only happened because we asked 3 other staff members to find him. Can’t believe we spent 39 each for a plate of cold potatoes, bacon, roast beef, and chicken
