Colter Bay

Ummm....I don't know what to say. We live pretty close so we've tried this place at least three times before tonight. The first time being in late 2020 and we weren't impressed. We were in a bind in late 2021 when my mom came to visit and we tried again. I had left a three star review after that, but eventually felt guilty and removed it because they're in our neighborhood. Since it's been several years we decided to try again. Their Instagram post advertised a smash burger and fish sandwich specials. Right up our alley! We called up and ordered takeout. The young woman on the phone was very pleasant. The pickup experience was fine...the food? Not so good and definitely not worth $18 for each meal. The double cheeseburger patties had a spongy texture and didn't seem like a smash burger. I'm pretty sure they're pre-formed frozen pucks...or at the very least they taste like it. The fish filet sandwich was crispy and initially looked delicious, but the actual fish inside ended up being soooo mushy...very unpleasant. I had to throw it out after two bites, the texture of the fish was so off-putting. The french fries that came with both sandwiches were generous and tasted fine enough, but they were all such short pieces. I mean, I want at least a few full sized fries, yah know? This disappointing experience confirms our opinion of Colter Bay...for the fourth time. We won't be trying again for a few years.

The poutine with short rib is heaven in a bowl. Nice and quick service, only complaint is the benches on the booths were pretty uncomfortable and the only table options had stools with no backs. Overall great spot for very good eats!

We were looking for a place that served fish fries other than Sunday and I had eaten at Colter Bay back in the 1980's so I knew they had good food. We moved to Tennessee 4 years ago and missed the local food here in WNY and we weren't disappointed. We enjoyed the fish fry and the beef on Weck.

This place is one of my favorite places to go grab some food and drinks! Their drink selection has lots of varieties of beers and cocktails as well. As far as the food...I highly recommend the potato skins. They are soooo good! I got the spicy chicken sandwich last time, and it was the perfect amount of spicy/savory. I recommend this bar to everyone looking for a good time.

I had a great first impression of Colter Bay, they have an extensive beer and cider menu with a large variety of different breweries and flavour profiles to choose from. The patio was lovely on a warm Saturday afternoon. My family shared a nacho platter and some chicken wings. It was a great way to spend a Sunday in the long week end. I am looking forward to a return as the food looked very good.
