Bonfire

"We went to lunch and sat at the bar. We were greeted by a kind server who welcomed us and told us the concept of the restaurant and were impressed by how knowledgeable she was. Our lunch was fantastic! I highly recommend the lamb burger! I can't wait to come back! Thank you Katie, it was wonderful meeting you and will be returning very soon. I will save room for a homemade dessert next time!"

"What a hidden gem! We stopped from out of town and mostly because of the fact this restaurant is chef owned and they use locally raised beef for their burgers. It did not diss appoint from the service to the food. The server was amazing and very helpful, he even let us know that they use locally grown greens from Sweet Briar. His passion for Bonfire showed and given this was our first visit to Amherst, he was very welcoming. The menu options were very impressive, the special soup of the day was fantastic, and we really enjoyed the buffalo fried cauliflower starter. My husband was impressed with the bourbon options and enjoyed one of the flights. We left full, happy and eager for our next trip into town."

"I was pretty disappointed after my visit for lunch. I ordered the Cowboy burger and asked for lettuce and tomato on it. Burger came and there was no lettuce and tomato on it. The burger itself was pretty small for $15. Asked for medium rare and it was more like medium. I got the mac n cheese instead of fries as my side. It was pretty bad. Didn’t taste like much and it was SO greasy. There was a pool of grease that the noodles were sitting in. Didn’t even finish it. Ordered a Caesar salad as well and it was nothing special. Go down to road to The Filling Station for a burger. It’s cheaper and much better. You can fully customize your burger with all of the toppings they offer too. If you’re looking for local beef and a better ambiance, then stick with Bonfire. It’s a shame that, with the extremely limited selection of restaurants in Amherst, Bonfire couldn’t be better. I don’t think I’ll be back. $60, including tip, for two people was nowhere near worth it."

"Just amazing in every way! This gem nestled in the sleepy town of Amherst should be a destination location for anyone traveling in this region! Picture doesn't include the wings we crushed already, so good!!!!"

"The food was amazing! Super cute place, cozy and elegant, but yet a small town feel. Food was made in such a way that you can taste how much love and pride they put into it.. it was my husband , son, and mother in law and I can't wait to go back just my husband and I for date night! .."
