Tasty!  (Plating could use a little help and celery would have been a nice touch!)
Sarah G.

I took a chance to try something new because I work in the area and drive past multiple times. Happy to find my new lunch spot!!! I knew that the Williamsville location had Prosecco splits, and I was right, they serve them at this location as well!! Bartender/Server was Gerald. Polite and he was fast with everything I ordered and gave a good recommendation for what to eat. I ordered the wings. Only thing I would have liked, and felt it was lacking was maybe a side of celery with the spicy wings? (Just a suggestion) Either way, they were tasty wings. The real star of this review though goes to Connor Schutte. I am looking into a couple event ideas and also looking at venues for my daughter's wedding shower. Connor came over and graciously took time out of his busy schedule to speak to me about an event that I would like to have this summer. He has a gift for making you feel like you have known him forever and has such good manners. I can't tell you the last time I left a new restaurant and said "New favorite spot"!!!! Customer service is so important and you can tell Connor is passionate and values his customers. Thank you for all your help Connor and taking time out of your busy schedule to speak with me. I'll definitely be back soon!!

A meal featuring a large sandwich with sesame seed bun, lettuce, and meat is presented on a metal tray with a side of crispy tater tots and a pickle slice. A glass of light-colored beverage with foam is placed beside the tray. The setting appears to be a restaurant with a dark table and background elements like napkins and bar equipment.

Kept the same great vibe that Resurgence had here but with more seating and the classic Britesmith menu. Took a chance with the Big Mac style za and it was incredible. Just the right amount of sauce and topping and a distinctive Big Mac taste with the three buns, the crust was crispy and tasty. Washed it down with good ol Billie Haze. The bartender was attentive and was able to get the TV onto golf very quickly, much appreciated.

Texas sun - A pint glass filled with light-colored beer, a glass of water, and a wooden table menu with a QR code are visible. The menu displays the branding of Britesmith Brewing. The background shows a dimly lit interior with exposed beams and a television screen, indicating a brewery or bar environment.

Stopped for dinner, the walk in was very very muddy due to the stone parking lot and melting snow. The waiter was the bartender also but very friendly. We had the brisket which was tender and tasty, the barbecue sauce side was quite small. The Mac and cheese was good the fries were just ok, we prefer a fresh cut. The French onion soup had a kick to it but it was good. The elote dip is a must if you never had it! It's pretty pricey compared to other breweries that serve food. We do enjoy the beer here though and was not nearly as busy as the Williamsville location.

French onion soup - A serving of French onion soup is presented in a bowl with a layer of melted cheese and chopped chives on top. The bowl is placed on a white plate with a black napkin underneath. A spoon rests on the plate. In the background, there is a glass of red wine, an empty white plate, and condiments on a dark table surface.

Sat at the bar (love the Vestaboard menu!) and received excellent service from the bartender, who happened to be from near our hometown. Great chatting with him. Delicious French onion soup and pizza. Especially loved a bright (no pun intended) raspberry stout. Loved the vibe there, would return!

Lobster pizza - A lobster pizza with a thin, slightly charred crust topped with melted cheese, small lobster pieces, and chopped chives. The pizza appears freshly baked with some burnt spots on the crust edges, and it is served on a round metal tray. The setting includes a dark wooden table, and part of a person's arm and hand holding a salt shaker are visible in the background.

Went on Opening Day and you would have thought the location has been running for a long time. No issues with any of the visit! The staff was VERY friendly and helpful. We are able to walk back and see the brewing equipment. The new style and look of this building since Britesmith took it over is SPECTACULAR. So much cozier than in the past and loved the ambiance. We had the flights of beer, pretzel bites, deviled eggs and lobster pizza. Everything was DELICIOUS! Very excited to come here often and enjoy the outdoor area too!

Brisket, beans, and tots.  Outdoor seating is so nice!

See all

Came here for dinner the other night and I realized I had never left a review after coming here…read morebefore. So this one will make up for all the other nights too. This spot has always been a favorite of mine. It really makes the one end of Main Street in Williamsville. We started out with the pretzels and elote dip. The chips for the elote were great too and the dip was a great way to start the meal. The pretzels were soft and chewy and I really enjoyed the mustard they used. I couldn't decide on the main part of my dinner and kept going back between a pizza and a burger. Ended up going with the Nashville Hot Chicken pizza and I was very happy with the choice. The pizza had some heat but nothing too crazy. The wood fire pizza itself was cooked perfectly. Very good and I will definitely be back for more of their pizzas. I also ended up getting a piece of cheesecake to take home and it was great! Very sweet and creamy. I have never seen a rectangle piece of cheesecake before, but maybe that's the secret to why it was so good. We will definitely be back for more here. We love coming here with friends and it is a good spot for dinner or a double date.

Well, they were on the list of Yelp Buffalo's top places to eat in 2025, so of course we had to give them a try. The space itself is really beautiful. Nestled alongside a river with a cabinesque vibe. Stone exterior, with wood floors, exposed brick, and large fermentation tanks on the interior. It's really quite cozy. As for food, our table shared one of their tasty dips - the elote one to be exact. Elote is delicious on its own, but in dip form with pickled red onions, fire! I could eat an entire bucket of this stuff. When it came to my main course I ordered what I call the basic girl dinner, a caesar salad and fries... but here I went with the tater tots because I was told they are heavenly. My salad was a good portion size and exactly what you want when you order a caesar. As for the tots, the amount you get is insane and they were in fact, fried to a crispy perfection. They definitely hit the spot. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and I can see why Yelpers in Buffalo rate this spot so high. If I lived nearby I would definitely be a frequent flyer.

The place itself is inviting as you pull up, it's basically a victorian style house converted into what is a very cool, casual, dog friendly, brewery & eatery. The service was instantly friendly, inviting and knowledgeable about their beer selection. I tried several and all were really good. Note: if you like sours try the Cherry Cobbler sour it is over the top tasty! Also had the Cran Orange Ale which I could have drink a second one of easily too. Now on to the food... I am from Texas, and am a bit picky over BBQ, especially Brisket. Y'all there's nothing worse than a dry piece of smoked brisket... just sayin'. Anyway, I ordered a couple apps and the two meat plate with Chicken & Brisket, Beans, Slaw & the Mac Salad. Y'all, the brisket was moist tender and nicely marbled. I ate half of it before even opening the sauces! Same to be said for the Chicken, it was tender, with the perfect little hint of smoke, legit delicious! I highly recommend this spot when visiting the area... I will definitely be back my next time through.

My…read moreselection tonight was their Hefeweizen, which was excellent and I would highly recommend to Hef fans. I paired that with a tasty pile of sweet potato waffle fries and a side of honey for dipping them in. The fries were a perfect blend of crispy outside and soft inside, just a touch of salt, and the honey is genius (it's an extra $1 and well worth it). Several other beers on the menu look tempting too, and they make their own pizza dough! Another plus: the owners are friendly awesome people. I am very likely to return. The inside seating area is larger than it looks like from the outside, with plenty of seating at the bar and at tables, plus an outdoor patio. Restrooms are clearly marked and easy to access. There are several large TVs showing various sports games - no closed captions though. Music is nice, there was an upbeat jazz background while I was there. It's on the louder side but not too loud to have conversations. If you don't get lucky with a parking spot out front, there is a decent sized free parking lot just down the street and around a corner. This is another win for the beer passport!

The place is huge with ample seating at both the bar and tables. Almost everyone was at the bar and we wanted to taste our beers in peace, so we went for a table. My wife and I each got a flight, so I got to try most of their offerings. My favorites were the Steampunk Cider and the Winter Ale. Both were packed with flavor! The bartender was friendly and checked on us a few times, even though he was swamped by those at the bar. We didn't opt for any food from the kitchen, but were glad to see there's the option to chow down while drinking. An added perk was that finding parking on a weeknight was super easy. We were able to practically park in front of it. I would definitely return. Cool little spot!

Our waitress was wonderful. I was debating between a couple items on the menu and opted for a salad. I ordered the Beet & Burrata salad ... um lol well if you would call it that. Two of us ordered this and we both were surprised when it came out to say the least. Basically a couple pieces of lettuce on top of chopped beets under a spicy-ish hollandaise type dressing over burrata. Or I'm assuming the dressing was what was a tad spicy. However I couldn't figure it out lol. There were a couple tiny smoked peach pieces on the side...just too smoky for my taste. Would have preferred just a fresh grilled peach. Also added a side of chicken to toss on my "salad" thinking it had a whole bed of lettuce, however could have avoided ordering that had I seen a picture of this salad beforehand - so I threw that in for you all in case you're on the fence of what to order. It was good if you like beets, but not really filling since the portion was pretty small. Loved the presentation though, gotta give them that. I also had the Oz-molitan... cosmo with blood orange ...delicious! If you like fruity drinks get it!! I tried my friends' fresh cut regular fries, the truffle fries, and also some of the pepperoni flatbread (I forget exactly what it was called, apologies) but all of those were to die for! I almost wished I had ordered those myself haha. Oh well, next time! Not a huge fan of coming downtown (only downside for me but the hubby dropped me off lol) but I would definitely come back again!

The inside was super cute. It is on main street with the train track so there is basically no parking in the vicinity so it's a cold walk during winter. We ordered Kugel Latke for an appetizer. It was fine, it tasted like uncrisp tater tots. If there was a sauce of sorts to dip it in, it would have been better besides just potato. For mains we shared two half pizzas the Fig& Pig and the Pepperoni + Honey. They were both fine, they were half sized but still didn't seem like a lot. The person I was with thought it was too much fig, but I had no problem so that is preference. Though the pork belly was mainly fat. The people with us weren't fans of their food either. They also added Truffle fries and were told it would be extra which they agreed to, but it was an additional $9 not jut 2 or 3. For the service, we assumed it was all due to the massive party but it wasn't that great. We were right in front of the bartender and our water was refilled once the entire time we were there. We also didn't get silverware and when we asked for napkins we got a single paper one. We were also at the end of the bar which is where the severs would stand or get the food which was directly next to us which was a bit annoying due to the proximity, they were as close as sitting next to us at a table. No one checked on us either thoughtout our time. Overall, the food was fine, nothing amazing. I'm assuming they get a lot of Shea's traffic which is fine if you want a drink with a snack. I would not come here for an actual meal as it is a limited menu and you don't get a lot. The service wasn't great, but we're going with it was due to the large party. None of us will be returning. It was super cute with the lights though.

A dear friend drove to Buffalo from NYC to volunteer at an event and after a long day volunteering,…read morethey were looking for a hearty meal and some good drink. Seeing as I'm a Yelp-er, they wanted me to find a spot I hadn't been to yet, even though I had eaten dinner already on my own. I had The Ridge West Seneca saved in my "Places to Try" collection so I said let's go. Overall, I cannot wait to go back and grab a meal here and try the food for myself! We arrive just before 8pm on a Saturday night to a large gravel parking lot that was pretty busy, but we still found a spot pretty easily. We walked in and the hostess was able to seat the two of us at a booth right away! Inside it was very spacious with plenty of TVs going, a bar on one side, music playing overhead. Indoor noise was elevated (it's a restaurant that has a bar, it's going to not be quiet haha) but the two of us could carry on a conversation fairly normally. Our waitress came over immediately to let us know she'd be a few minutes as there were a few other tables she was handling. Fine by us as that allowed my buddy ample time to look over the menu and figure out what he wanted. I saw the St. Patrick's Day-themed cocktail specials menu so I knew what I was ordering. Our waitress though - Absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly friendly, had great personality, and was really accommodating in splitting the check (I took care of all our drinks, my friend took care of his dinner). Our waitress did a great job checking in on us at the perfect time, we never felt pressured, rushed. I didn't order any food but my friend ordered their Steakhouse Strip off the "Large Plates" section of the menu, and boy oh boy, did that look amazing! The 12-ounce strip was cooked to a picture-perfect medium-rare with plenty of tobacco onions on top and around the plate, and served over a generous bed of mashed potatoes and asparagus, served with a small cup of their A1 aioli. After seeing that, I certainly want to come back and order food. My friend really enjoyed their meal, the plate was clean! As for me, I ordered two St. Patrick's Day -themed cocktails: "Sham Rocked Shake" and "Irish Good Bye". The "Sham Rocked Shake" was vanilla vodka, crème de menthe, cream, and chocolate syrup and curls - This was creamy, delicious, not overly minty. The "Irish Good Bye" was Three Chord bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and lemon juice with a lime wedge - There was so much flavor in this cocktail, the lemon juice added a pleasant fruity 'punch'. Looking at the prices for these cocktails, I felt they were in-line with most other places and they were made well so no complaints from me. The Ridge West Seneca really surprised me! I've driven past it a few times and wondered how good it was. From our friendly waitress and service, the delicious cocktails, to the fantastic-looking food, I am impressed. I'm looking forward to coming back soon for another night of drinks and to try some food!
