My meatloaf special had no flavor, wifes hamburg was way under cooked and when waitress was informed she giggled and said ill tell them, but no offer to bring out a properly cooked replacement. Too bad since this place is right down the road from our newly purchased home here.
Stopped in for the Friday Fish Special. DRI is always busy on a Friday night - We had a great fish fry! Our server was attentive throughout our meal. Excellent food - superb service - highly recommended...The Sunday Buffet is also very good.
Awesome food, great service, friendly staff
The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was very nice. The prices were quite pricey. My husband and I both got prime rib. The 16 ounce was 37.00 and the smaller one was 27.00. It was a little tough to cut. Beware if you see something labeled market price check what that is. But we will go back and try something else on their menu.
Good food...servers were not that polite...they did not say thank you or anything maybe they were just busy, but you should always at least associate with your customers.
Were there this morning for the brunch. Very good and reasonably priced.
Amazing food and staff. Love it here!
This was a great find... always seen it hiding back from the road, but I never went in... thank the lord we finally did. LolThe fish was fantastic! And the staff was too!There was plenty of room to eat and at the bar! We will definitely be going back!
From San Diego visiting family in LP. Great service & yummy food--had pretzels, beer, & cocktail. Sat in the back watched football game on private screen which I thought was pretty neat.
Great service, good food , waitress was very friendly, prices are high though.
Always Fantastic!!! I would give them 10 stars if it were an option!!
We have been frequent customers all summer, the tent is spacious and comfortable and the service is friendly. DRI does not advertise itself as fine dining and it does the basics very well. As in life, errors happen, often in restaurant kitchens - but how they affect the experience of the client should be carefully considered. We ordered 2 burgers and a prime rib. We were thoroughly enjoying ourselves but after some time realized that our food was taking an unusually long time to arrive. Finally able to find our server, we were told that one of the burgers had been dropped and another was being prepared. Again, it happens. We asked that the other entrees be served and they were brought to the table several minutes later. Obviously, my prime rib (ordered rare) had been sitting under he heat lamp for enough time that the side facing up on my plate was medium, the other side was shoe leather. Obviously this was noticed in the kitchen and the meat flipped before delivery. In sum, the overall delay was unacceptable (it doesnt take 30+ minutes to make a new cheeseburger) and the priciest item on your menu was intentionally served without care of the clients basic request. The servers were young ladies who were very sweet, we did not want to complain to them (although it was pointed out) for the kitchens mistakes and they were tipped generously. But your establishment should understand that many of the regular clients you gained during the warmer months because of your outdoor accommodations will soon be moving indoors, will they return to the DRI? PS. A comped meal or round of drinks - any effort to recognize our inconvenience - would have been appreciated.
Food was very good. Our waitress Reilly was wonderful, especially for being new. Kitchen service, however was slow. Best bloody Mary Ive ever had, so that was a plus!
Bill was alot higher than it should have been. Overcharged for fries, told if I wanted to upgrade from chips to salad, it would be $1 xtra, which I did, when the bill came, I was charged $5 for the small dinner salad, when I pointed out that I was told only $1 xtra, the waitress told me she had only been there 5 days and nobody told her how much the upgrades were, she just guessed they were $1, never adjusted the bill. Our bill was $45 for a burger, fries, coke, my sandwich and salad. Never going there again
If you want a delicious Fishfry 😋this is the place!Seated quick, the waitresse was right there to take our order.Fast friendly service!The owner was very polite and nice.The Fishfry was huge!! Couldnt finish it, brought home leftovers.Will definitely be back.5 star food and service!!!
Great fish fry...great service...cool place
Excellent! I had the Meatloaf special. The portion was huge, Ill have enough for a couple more days. BTW - it was wrapped in bacon, yum! The mashed potatoes were homemade; as well as the gravy. The green beans were fresh. I also had the steak & potato soup. It was delicious. 😋The service was wonderful.
Went for a Friday night fish fry, and the service, prices, and food were all amazing.It was the very best fish fry I have ever had.
I have been here several times for the brunch and have loved it every time, mimosas are nice with it also. A great time with friends and family over all you can eat breakfast foods, eggs, bacon, French toast, potatoes, or biscuits and sausage, and a fruit cup at the end with bagels and cream cheese. You will be full when leaving and very satisfied! We always love it!
The service was great. The salads were great!!!!!. The drinks were a little weak and the wings were mushy. However we would highly recommend this place for a great sports or music night out . We are very very picky about our wings so we feel this place gets a 3 1/2 star review. The food (other than the wings) was top notch. The service was 6 stars excellent. The music got a little loud after 10. We could not hear each other.
Awesome place to grab a 🍸 🍺 drink and hang out on the patio during the summer months. great recreational activities! Asa far as food goes? CHEF- ROCKA-DOODLE-DOO-MY-ROOSTER Ruben knows how to do it! His Burgers and his array of awesome tasty menu munchies😋 will have your mouth watering coming back for more
We visited Davison Inn for a late lunch on Sunday after visiting Lockport Locks and Erie Canal. So glad we did! The staff were pleasant and conscientious, the food was very tasty, the atmosphere was pleasant and enjoyable, and the cleanliness was superior!!!My entire family of 9 enjoyed our experience and the food. I highly recommend it!
Last visited just three days ago. The server seemed terribly inexperienced. When asked what was on tap, she said she didnt know. She never offered to find out, so we didnt get to order from the tap. Also, she had strange tableside manner; hovering after we placed an order and when we were figuring out the tip. Food ordered was served under cooked, then again after we mentioned it to the server. The third time we asked it was taken off the bill. Instead of an apology, we were told that we have to order something else because food must be on the bill due to pandemic restrictions. I dont plan on coming back here if I can avoid it.
If you are not from western NY, try the beef on weck. It is shaved beef on a salted roll. Most people like it with horseradish. I like it with wing sauce. Both give it a little kick.
Great spot. we love it here in the summer but its always a good spot. we like when Jen or Anthony are working because they are always cheerful and welcoming. prices could be a little better for the venue but its not outrageous. good sot to watch sports
Excellent fish fry, very nice waitress, constantly returniing to our table making sure we had our needs met. Owner was very friendly as well.
This was my first time eating here. Great atmosphere, has that local vibe. Service was great and friendly. I had the chicken and biscuits with veggies...what a nice home cooked tasting meal. Looking forward to going back soon.
This sandwich is outstanding! Service on the patio was great.
The food here is great! I’ve been here a few times and the meal was the only thing I generally enjoyed. At times it was a bit to crowded with no real space for anyone. The bartender on duty made my drink completely wrong and not the same taste at all. I advise going on a less busy time and day to enjoy!
Attempted to go to dinner tonight with my mother and daughter. They had a gentleman in the back patio area taking names for tables. We were told it was a 20 minute wait and waited inside as it was colder and I have a 1 year old child. A couple right off the street came in and were sat by a waitress who ignored the list and skipped right over us and probably anyone else who was waiting. Highly upsetting and probably will not be returning.
Good variety of beer, good atmosphere.
This place has a great burger. I get one whenever Im in town. The wait staff is friendly and relaxed. Christopher Conners must be reviewing a different restaurant. Trendy is not the word I would use for this place. Its a local bar with your typical Western New York bar menu, and its good. They have volleyball courts in the back.
Fun classic brunch! Stiff drinks (no complaint) great bacon!! Very recommended!!
Food was good , waitress very good . we had a table of 12 , very accommodating .
The service was not the best as our waitress was not very attentive. We went for the Sunday morning brunch. They set up a nice spread of breakfast foods. The food itself was delicious.
Love the brunch bar and unlimited mimosa., Have been with friends and family several times and always had a good time and great service!
Good food and friendly staff
Brunch was good, should have more heat for the chafing dishes & upgrade OJ.
It was packed tonight but we didnt have to wait long at all. The Boom burger is my favorite! Hubby had prime rib - fantastic with a zucchini medley and red potatoes and garlic bread. A+ rating from us!
Friendly locals spot with good service.
Really good food and reasonably priced. Had the Taco Burger and was cooked perfect and not too spicy for the average person. Waitress was slow but food came out quick.
Great place all around, staff are great, food is delectable. Nice place to feel like part of the family. Great choices of food and beverages.
Inside is nice- sports bar. Went for the breakfast buffet. Eggs overcooked, few undercooked homefries, biscuit was too dense. Sausage and bacon were delicious. Id go back and try lunch/dinner/drinks.
Lets just say, I will NEVER go back there again !!!! I would Not recommend that place to nobody. I wanted to treat my husband to a Fathers Day buffet. I said ,lets make reservations for 1:00pm at DRI. We had never been there before. First off ,we get there and had to stand at the receptions desk for at least 15 minutes before anyone even acknowledged that we were there. Then someone finally came and we told them we had reservations for 1:00pm. He said ,just a minute ,I have to clean off a table. Ok, so finally we sat down and the one girl said you can go help yourself. Well, we get up to the buffet table and every tray of food was totally empty except for the potato pan. Anyway, long story short, it was our first time and last time we will patronize that place.End of story.....
Food was good, had prime rib had to be sent back 3 times due to was too red for me. Nice atmosphere.
Great time. Food was awesome. Drinks were cold. Server Justin was very very good .
The breakfast buffet was descent, service not so great, waitress did not visit our table especially since I ordered the endless mimosas for 10$ and didnt even get a refill. Our seating was in dim lighting, and in an area where it was difficult for people to get in and out because it was in a high traffic area and all the tables were litterally squished together.
Excellent burger and the chips that come with it are fresh made. A moderately large selection of draft beers made a pleasant task out of. Housing what to have with my meal.
The food was great. The waitress was an absolute doll. I will definitely be going back.
My teenage son agrees with their claim of having the best burgers in town..I was happy with food and price. We will be back soon!
Recently went out to dinner with a friend. The next day I found 2 additional charges were on my bank account from them. I was told by the manager that the cashier made a mistake and that dont worry the money will be back in my account in a couple of days. Not cool.....what if I went into overdraft because of this. Really not sure if it was an accident but whatever the reason I will certainly never return for dinner. The unfortunate part was that the food was not bad. The problem is that the manager did not seem to think that it was a big deal.
Had a wonderful dining experience. Loved the outdoor setting!
Service was good would like to see more food items on menu. A little costly but food was good
This was a nice place to sit and chat. my sist er and I went here and the service was phenomenal.The food was fantastic and the dishes were large enough to share.
Had a bunch meal to celebrate a birthday. Waitress was very attentive. For was very good. French toast and bacon were awesome!
Excellent taco salad...made just the way I like it. Could only eat half...huge! Plenty for two to share. Reasonably priced at that. Will definitely be back again.
Good place to eat and drink 🍻
Service has been great the 2 times Ive been here. Food and drinks were very good. Not a complaint at our table. Wait staff very obliging.
You cant go wrong here. Enjoyed a fish fry takeout. Very generous portions and the beer battered fish was excellent.

2022-03-19Definitely easy to miss while driving by. The food was good, but I wish the reuben lived up to its claim. The bathrooms were clean. Good selection of beer. Highchairs for younger children.The staff was friendly.
Review №2
2022-05-16Totally surprised by the changes since I used to pop in. The main bar and restaurant still has a cozy feel to it, good food, good drinks. However, its been so long since Ive gone I didnt realize how much theyve expanded the back bar/patio/game area. Everything looks great and its an awesome way to spend a warm day.
Review №3
2022-05-04I understand that prices have gone up everywhere, but 7.99 for a side salad is just too much. The DRI was a staple in our weekly outings, but unfortunately, they price hikes have caused us to look elsewhere. They have a great selection of sandwiches and their specials are always nice, but when your in for over $100 for three people for dinner, you start looking at the reciept more. 100% the most expensive side salad in any local restaurant. Nothing special about it. Eight bucks.

Review №7
2022-04-30Service was bad. Will charge you for each refill of pop without telling you just bring you a refill. Then you find it on your bill. When you ask about it they just say yes we charge for each drinks laugh about it and walk away will not be going back after this.
