My hubby and I stopped in for Restaurant Week. I had the Steak and Eggs Burger and enjoyed every bite. I am not one who normally goes for a meal that sounds like it might be "messy". I am so glad I tried it. It was juicy and flavorful. I liked it so much that I am going back for another one this week - which is rare for me. My hubby loved the truffle tater tots. We each had a mini chocolate chip ice cream sandwich for dessert and they were scrumptious. The portion was perfect - just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth, but not so much that you feel guilty splurging on dessert. And the owners mom makes the cookies (and other desserts) - just like Mama! The restaurant/bar itself has a good vibe to it. Sports games on the large screen tvs and trendy music all around. The staff is warm and welcoming - and the service was excellent. I highly recommend it.

One of the most horrific bars I have seen in a while!!!! Im from Toronto, so I know what a good bar should be like. This is one of the bars youll see on bar rescue in the next few years, if it survives till then. They say its one of the better bars in Buffalo, but if thats true Id hate to see the other ones. Servers dont know which way is up and down in there. They under pour, then take shots themselves when they feel like. They are slow and each server only knows how to pour 2 to 3 drinks total. You ask for a rum and coke and they get confused. The bar was understaffed or at least seemed that way, cause the staff spent more time socializing then working. I also noticed the bars cleanliness, which I have to say is a total joke. I’d never advise drinking from one of those glasses. I’d avoid this place at all costs!!!!!

SOHO Bar must run a good business. I have been there twice and both times it was packed with people who seemed to be having a good time. My friends and i had a good time for the short period we were there. However, the staff was made up of plain jerks. The door people were a** h**** on the way in and the bartender exclaimed "What the f***" when i added a drink at the last second. A shot girl bumped into our table on the patio and spilled my drink. I never received a replacement and wouldnt have bothered mentioning anything if the manager Jay hadnt been standing at the door like a thug on our way out. He said there was not much he could do and waved me out the door. It must be nice to run a business in this fashion and still be packed. I guess it doesnt say much about Buffalo

Great burgers! The chips that come with them are okay, but the truffle tots are very delicious. Eat them hot, though, as their texture gets a little doughy after they cool down. I dont know if Ive had a better cocktail for $10 either. We went on a Monday or Tuesday night (cant remember!) when the Sabres were playing and the place was rather empty. The tv wasnt too loud, but we could watch the game if we wanted. Service was as good as it should have been on a night like that, and the atmosphere was suitable for enjoying gourmet burgers. Not sure if I would go there on a weekend, but its a good choice for week night date night.

Yesterday afternoon we were just walking around on Chippewa looking for a spot to grab lunch. Soho looked pretty cool so we tried it out. As soon as you walk in you feel like you arent in Buffalo, NY anymore. Super cool atmosphere! We snagged a seat and ended up ordering the lunch special of a salad and burger. Food came out very timely and was really good. No complaints at all. Waitress was on it, but not over bearing. Manager checked in to see how everything was. Exactly how eating out should be. Now I cant wait to go back for some Happy Hour drinks here sometime. All around great experience.

I dont know why everyone complains about this place, I am convinced that the only people that leave reviews are ones that just feel like complaining. Jack the bartender is personable and knows how to make drinks. The comments about being understaffed are ridiculous, every time I go in there the place is overstaffed and the servers continually check on your table. The burgers are incredible, they offer gourmet options that are cooked perfectly and build your own burgers. The only criticism is how dark it is inside, but Im over it. Overall, this is a great place to eat.

My wife and I have been coming to Soho Burger Bar since they opened the restaurant and we love the changes theyve made. Everything weve had has been fresh and flavorful from the salads to the burgers. I have tried every item on the menu and have enjoyed them all! My wife loves the Steak & Egg burger and the Tuna Burger. Try the spiked shakes - the Kentucky Caramel is amazing! If you have room for dessert try the homemade ice cream sandwiches or the hot fudge chocolate caramel brownie sundae. You wont be disappointed.

Stopped in here around 7:30 on a Monday night. Most of the places around were pretty dead but there were a lot of people in here. Turns out it was a private party but they were open and we were hungry. We split some wings which were good; they fry them and then grill them so they are crispier. Then had a blue cheese burger with fries and a Belgian beer. Service was good, but there werent that many people in there so not a surprise. I cant complain about anything and would come back

Very poor experience at Soho on the "chip strip". I usually enjoy it there, but tonight was my husbands birthday and we were treated awful. We asked for two shots and because the bartender gave us what we didnt ask for he said, "You dont have to take them" then gave them away to other patrons and then was refused service. We got the feeling our server was on steroids and couldnt contain his madness. Its a shame and we wont be back.

Excellent burger bar, the staff is courteous and prompt, the bar side is pretty happening even for a Thursday night, and my custom burger (kaiser, cheddar & mozzarella, bacon and a fried egg) and beer I had were both 10/10! I highly recommend this spot for a casual burger/sandwich in a sweet downtown nighttime scene. The patio is a nice seating area for conversations as well.

There is absolutely nothing positive about this restaurant. It took about an hour for food to come and when it did everything came at the same time. The appatizers, salad, and main dish came all at one time. Burgers were ok but nothing special. Wings were hard and salad ingredients were not chopped well enough.

Personnel rude et raciste envers les Blancs. Une fausse histoire racontée à un portier noir et nous étions dehors sans aucune chance de sexpliquer.

Was in the area after working out and thought Id stop by here (10PM on a weeknight). Place was dead but the doorman wouldnt let me in because I had on Adidas striped pants. Wasnt too disappointed as there are other places to get a good burger like 5 Guys or Vizzis on Kenmore Avenue.
