The food was amazing, I was on my way home and I was super hungry. I ordered hamburger & hot fries. The service was excellent. The staff super friendly. The ambiance, is very pleasant you can sit inside or outside.

Extreme grilled cheese burger
Shannon R.

Thank you AJ's for hosting this month's nacho themed event. AJ's is located in a small plaza and there is no seating available. This is definitely a pick up spot. The prices are very reasonable and they offer weekly/daily specials. AJ's offered a sample of their birria nachos for this event. In addition to that, we purchased the extreme grilled cheese burger and their turkey club special. The tortilla chips were very good and tasted homemade. The birria meat was very good as well but I didnt care for the liquid cheese. It was a bit too artificial tasting. The nachos would've been great with real queso. The burger was pretty good but it tasted like it was fried with margarine and the flavor was a bit overwhelming. Other than that, the burger was full of melted cheese and didn't lack seasoning. I was a bit disappointed with the turkey club because they used mostly dark meat from a roasted turkey and I'm more of a white meat girl (at least with turkey). The sandwich itself was good other than that. Thanks again brandon for sponsoring this event for us!

I participated in YELPs Nachovember by visiting AJ's kitchen. He offered a special birria nacho for the event. AJ was very happy to offer the nachos, which were pretty good. I personally don't care for the liquid type cheese sauce, but the beef was very good. It was a well run event and I was happy to find this little spot.

What a great find! Worth the drive from Buffalo. And no disappointment. If you notice some wrestling terms, it's because AJ used to ... what do we say? Perform? Participate? Anyway, it's why my chicken parm was called a slamwich. Lots of interesting slamwiches and burgers! Turkey poutine is on the November specials board. As is a burger named The Gobbler. See photos and read about the Gobbler and admit you want one. But only until the end of the month. Take out and delivery. Intimate waiting area with 3 or 4 stools and a small table with 2 chairs for waiting comfort. Enjoy the photos. That's what I did while waiting ***AJ will fry your turkey. Only a couple spaces left.

The Hangover
Margery Z.

We stopped in for the Yelp event and decided to buy the Hangover burger to go. It's a burger topped by a hash brown potato, a fried egg, bacon and "smack sauce". It was very good.

I stopped in for the Yelp Nachovember event and was really pleased. I had never heard of this place before, but it's very close to the thruway, and super easy to get to. There's not really a space to eat, just a bar to wait for your order, but the guy behind the counter greeted me when I walked in and was very nice. He got right to work on my nachos, and they didn't take much time at all. I also ordered a hot chocolate to go. Everything was hot even when I got it home, and it was delicious. The nachos had a good bit of meat on it, and a little bit of kick, but not enough to be oppressive. The hot chocolate was actually fantastic, rich and creamy. I didn't even know this restaurant way there, but I am going to keep it in mind for sure.

Great visit today! The yelp berria nachos were awesome and I was excited to learn chef AJ was the owner of stack burger. I loved stack burger so that was good to know but I was unaware they closed. Good to know he's around to share his good food! The nachos were great and we decided to try his special turkey sandwich and burger. Both came with real hand carved turkey not lunch meat with a yummy jalapeño cranberry sauce. It was delicious and I should have asked for more! I will definitely be back for more yummy food. Prices were awesome especially in this day and age. He has a few places to sit and eat quickly but it's mostly designed to be take out. There's enough parking outside as well but if a few too many people got there at the same time it could definitely get crowded. Glad we visited!

Aj's was great! I stopped in for their birria nacho special. I was allowed to substitute turkey since I don't eat red meat. That alone was awesome! They nachos were amazing! I decided to order the hot rings which were perfectly coated and fried. The smack sauce goes well with them. I also got the pollo loco sandwich. I loved all of the peppers on the grilled chicken, but would definitely add extra sauce since the bun is thick. Very small inside, but Aj is so nice! Service was quick even though it was busy.

Sweet potato fries
Raymond L.

We were in town for one night and liked it so much we had lunch the next day. Burgers are great, but the various options for wings are top notch. There is a very small counter area with stools and a folding table with chairs outside. Primarily this is a to-go food location. They seem to make most of their sauces in-house.

Chopped cheese
Michele M.

Flavor bomb! Stopped in for a yelp event, providing birra nachos, and ordered a rodeo burger and chopped cheese as well. The birra nachos were so good! The birra was amazingly flavorful, and I believe he seasoned the nachos as well, because every bite from start to finish was delicious. Normally you get nachos and the balance is off, not these! The service was great super friendly and fast. Think is was less than 15 minutes from order to get the hot food! Small place, take out only, BUT there was nothing small about the taste and flavors. The Rodeo burger was absolutely a 11 out of 10! I see why they won best smash burgers. The brown sugar loganberry BBQ sauce on the Rodeo was soooooo good, could of drank it alone! Burger cooked perfectly. By far top five burger in the area! The chopped cheese didn't disappoint either! Again AJ knows flavor and seasoning! The steak was delicious on a nice roll, full of flavor and cheesy goodness! I can't wait go back and try other items!

Cowboy steak sandwich

Best thing I ate in a few weeks. Ordered the cowboy sandwich, wife had the bacon and blue sandwich and we shared fried pickles. Not greasy like the one I had at Jim's last week. Delicious flavor, cheesy and hot even after driving home. Definitely will be back. What a gem of a place. I would have never known until it was recommend by another patron.

Just family supporting family!

After a long drive to have brunch somewhere on Elmwood, just to find the doors locked, I ventured…read moreover here to have lunch and it did not disappoint! First off, I was greeted and found staff friendly and efficient! You have plenty of options for seating .. dining area, front bar, back bar, even an outdoor patio bar. Although it is dive bar-esque, it was nice and clean (let's be honest .. some dives have a stench and stickiness that can definitely ruin your appetite, no matter how much you may love them). They have a set up for bands to play, as one was playing while I was there for their 2 year anniversary (congrats!). What was nice is although I could hear the band (it was playing in the back and I was up front), it wasn't over whelming me. I have eaten places where, no matter where you sit, it's extremely loud, and I appreciated that you had a choice here. Now onto the food: The food should have been doomed to fail; my tastebuds were prepared to eat sweet, buttery, syrupy French toast with a mocktail at brunch elsewhere. But wasn't hyped about the menu because of this (which is not dog and pony's fault .. I had to work and didn't have time to research where else brunch was available). I settled on the umami smashburger by a suggestion of my waitress. Now once again, could have been doomed to fail as I'm not a French fry person and my favorite cheeseburger is one I make on my own. BUT WOW their food blew me away and made me forget all about my brunch let-down. The French fries were fantastic and had a great seasoning on them! The smashburger was great to the last bite .. and I was NOT expecting to finish it as it was a really nice portion (I ate lunch now 10 hours ago and didn't need to eat again it was so filling!) but it was so dang gone good I sure finished it! Smoked cheddar .. chimichuri aioli ... kimchi bacon jam .. oh ya that bacon jam was EVERYTHING!! Thank you to the staff at Dog and Pony for making my long drive worth while!

I've been wanting to try their Sicilian-style pizza for quite some time, and my birthday cookie…read morereward finally gave me the perfect excuse to celebrate. They already have a fantastic thin-crust pizza, so I asked if they could make the Sicilian style with the muffuletta toppings. No problem at all. It took a little longer than expected (ordered for 4:45, ready at 5:00), but it was absolutely worth the wait. Ordering is easy online or by phone. If you get voicemail, just call back - they're probably on the phone with another customer. Now, about that pizza. The thick Sicilian crust had the perfect chew: light and airy inside with a crisp, golden bottom. Every bite was loaded with the bold salty toppings, bringing a savory, slight spice/pickled kick that paired perfectly with the oils and melted cheese. The toppings reached edge to edge, creating a pizza that was hearty, flavorful, and impossible to put down. Please pencil in a visit to The Deli on a Wednesday to grab one of their pizzas. I do recommend ordering ahead to claim your dough. This version reads like a Yelp review and really highlights the texture and flavor of a loaded Sicilian pie.

It's a beautiful property and a beautiful restaurant. The employees were consistently kind, friendly, warm and attentive. The food was genuinely spectacular and the pricing is incredible. I got the salmon sandwich and it was amazing. The bread was honestly the winner there. We also got the cream cheese pie with blueberries on top for dessert was so good it was genuinely upsetting. The food, the atmosphere, the employees--all of it was top notch for an incredible price. So, whats the problem here? Well, I would encourage you to google the ownership of this restaurant chain. As neutrally as possible, the restaurant is owned by a religious group and is staffed by members of that group. Coming here is inherently financially supporting this group and I believe every consumer needs to decide for themselves how they'd like to spend their dollars. I wasn't aware of this connection until after we were seated, a situation where trying to leave was a bit more culturally embarrassing--especially when you're with work colleagues! If this is somewhere you'd like to eat (and it would be a great choice if you did), please look into the ownership and make the decision for yourself if this is something you'd want to support.

I had heard so many good things about this spot in West Seneca and figured it was definitely time…read moreto try it out. I met a friend out to lunch and it was pretty quiet. There were a few tables but a pretty slow lunch crowd when we walked in which was nice. Our server was great and she made sure we got our drinks and food quickly. I ended up going with the quesadilla and chips with salsa. It was so great! There was chicken, peppers, onion, cheese all in it that made it look way better than some of the other quesadillas I've tried lately. The chips were delicious and you can tell they were made in house and not just dumped from a bag. All in all, I was so happy we had lunch here. It started to pick up more as we were leaving so I know we got there at the right time. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

After seeing his dinner though, I was kicking myself for not ordering food. Recently, I had the opportunity to rectify that and I'm glad I did! Around 5:30pm on a Thursday, I pulled into the huge parking lot (which looking at my first review, is now paved!) and found a spot pretty close to the main entrance. Walking in, there's a host stand straight ahead with a brewery to the right and the dining room to the left. I took a moment to wander around and came away impressed with how large The Ridge West Seneca is. Afterward, I found most of my group had been seated at a both right near the entrance. Cups and glass bottles of water were spread out and menus were laid in front of us. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to order but looking over the menu, The Ridge has a great variety of food. Our waitress was great with our group of five, one being a (almost) two-year-old. Our waitress was friendly, personable, did a great job checking on us throughout the evening, I know I was at ease throughout the evening. After a few minutes looking at the menu, we all placed our orders and then sat back and caught up. As I mentioned earlier, it's very spacious inside with music playing over the speakers, some TVs playing sports, and plenty of people enjoying the evening. I've seen The Ridge advertise their outdoor patio and seeing it in person, it looked awesome! The turnaround time from ordering to our dinners arriving was very reasonable, what I would expect for a group our size. For dinner, I ordered their Rustler Burger (8 oz. burger topped with cheddar cheese, a couple strips of bacon, BBQ sauce, crispy onion strings, fried jalapenos, and siracha aioli between a toasted brioche bun), cooked "medium", with a side of fries and their roasted red pepper fry sauce. The burger was excellent!! A hearty patty, cooked to a perfect "medium", topped with nice, big, crispy pieces of bacon, nicely melted cheddar cheese and plenty of crispy onion strings and fried jalapenos on both the top and bottom! The siracha aioli was creamy with a nice spicy, slightly sweet flavor. The fries were cooked perfectly - not soft but not crunchy, perfectly crispy and nicely seasoned. The roasted red pepper fry sauce had a thick texture and great, almost smoky flavor. They have several other fry sauces to pick from so I'll switch it up the next time I come. The portion sizes here are excellent - I've been to other restaurants where their side of fries is... weak, but The Ridge West Seneca, between the generous amount of fries and the big burger, I was far from disappointed! For the price, between the excellent quality and great portions, I thought the price was in-line, very reasonable! I, and the group I was with, had a great experience at The Ridge West Seneca! Friendly staff, great food (both quality and portions), and a cool atmosphere. Whenever I have friends or family in town, I would not hesitate bringing them to The Ridge West Seneca - I know I'm looking forward to coming back again!

A new location and a new look. Off The Wall Sandwich is a sparkling clean and colorful restaurant…read more With vibrant wall art, and striking lighting, the interior has an energetic vibe. This is a busy spot for classic American favorites: burgers, sandwiches and wings. From my previous experience, I knew it's worth checking the menu beforehand. For someone who is trying to make healthier choices, but not salad, this might be a good idea. I remember the last time I had the Classic Grilled Cheese Melt. This time, to avoid beef, bacon, or fried chicken, I decided to substitute a burger with grilled chicken breast for an additional $1. The Frenchie was my choice. I asked for the included Bison dip on the side and added Grilled Cremini Mushrooms for another $1. I simply couldn't find any ready-made combinations that suited my taste. All the burgers, melts and sandwiches come with your choice of fries or tater tots. We waited longer than expected for our food. The restaurant started filling up after we arrived. There were a lot of takeout orders while the dinner rush was starting. They should have a parallel system in the kitchen to keep the dining room moving at its own pace. Anyway, my sandwich was good. The chicken was perfectly grilled. The mushrooms and onions were flavorful, and the provolone cheese was melted and delicious. It's good that I asked to have the Bison dip on the side. We enjoyed the mountain of fries and onion rings (we really liked the breading on the onion rings). The Mac and Cheese was basic, but classic and very tasty. Unfortunately, our feedback on the Steak Hoagie was not so good. It wasn't as expected - a juicy, Buffalo-style, meat and cheese sub. My partner said that too much spice rub made the sandwich salty and dry. It wasn't the experience of dripping, shaved steak covered with lots of melted cheese, grilled peppers and onions. There was none of it. It was dry, smallish and disappointing. Our server Kimora took good care of us. She was smiling, and made our stay very pleasant.

We'd been wanting to try this place for months and planned an extension of our trip to Chautauqua…read moreto do so. On previous trips to the Buffalo area, we always made it a point to stop by Charlie the Butcher's for a Beef on Weck, and it was often the first/last stop upon leaving/entering the airport. Since Schwabl's claimed to be the originator of the Beef on Weck, we planned on giving it a try. We scheduled our visit for a Saturday so that we could also try their Hungarian Goulash. We stopped by at lunchtime, and our server checked to ensure it was ready. My wife wasn't feeling well, so I ordered the Hungarian Goulash, and we ordered two Beef on Weck sandwiches to go. I had a few bites of the goulash and then asked for a takeaway container. The bill ended up being a bit more than $85, so I asked to use Apple Pay. (There had been a fraud attempt on my credit card earlier in our trip, so Apple Pay was the best option for us. Our server told me, "you should have checked! You're lucky we take credit cards!" Frankly, I had already checked on credit cards before entering, even though I had planned on just paying cash. When the bill turned out to be so high, I decided to conserve the cash (even though I later noticed in fine print that there was a 3% discount for cash). The ambiance was "old school" and kind of interesting, but it was in need of a good overall cleaning. The Hungarian Goulash was bland, had no vegetables, and the meat was very tough; I think it would've been better if we had been there towards closing time when it could've benefited from slow cooking all day. Perhaps they hadn't gotten around to adding the vegetables and seasonings before serving us. Overall, I'm glad we checked this one off our list. However, since it seems to be resting on its past history. I doubt we'll ever return, nor could we recommend it to anyone.
