    Excellent crispy panko fish fry and potato pancakes. Mac salad on the side, very good, too.
    Richard M.

    Overall, an satisfying experience, with an excellent crispy panko fish fry. Side Mac salad notably good. Optional side of potato pancakes was a real treat. It shows they care about what they serve. Highly recommended.

    Filet Mignon Slider - A white plate holds two mini burgers with buns, beef patties, and toppings, accompanied by a pickle spear, a side salad, and a dipping sauce.

    We are from out of the area after a long day of driving I consulted Yelp. Mandy's had the best reviews and was close to the hotel. Well it was Fantastic! First, driving up, if I hadn't consulted Yelp I might not have thought to stop there. The look of the bar might be misleading. It's clean but it's no frills. But the menu... the menu deserves tablecloths. It is clever and unusual and most importantly delicious! We ordered the Shrimp Cargo, Hot Pepper Pancakes, Filet Sliders and Shrimp&Bacon quesadillas. The bartender also was the waitress and she was so sweet, patient and attentive. We had a lot of questions. Our food came quickly and was hot and perfectly prepared. We didn't stay long because it had been a full day. I am so pleased we went to Mandy's and if we are ever back through here again I look forward to trying it again.

    This place is a hidden gem on Clinton Street in West Seneca. I hadn't been here in about 15 years. It looked so nice on the inside, although the floors were a bit sticky in the bathroom. Unfortunately, this place is CASH ONLY!!! Today was my Dad's 70th birthday though and he really wanted to come here. (My parents come here once a week when they run a $5 sandwich special.) My dad ordered a bowl of Manhattan Clam Chowder and my mom ordered a burger well done, which didn't come with fries or anything. I ordered a bowl of French onion soup and the shrimp and bacon quesadillas. I also ordered fries for the table. My mom had coffee. I had Diet Pepsi. My dad had ginger ale. I had never heard of shrimp and bacon quesadillas. They were really good. The waitress was really nice! They have a small tight parking lot but I'm really glad that I came here today. I'd gladly return.

    Chicken fingers were so good. Came with fresh cut fries and portions were so large.

    Stopped here today for lunch. We were not disappointed! The food was sooo good. I had chicken fingers that were absolutely delicious! And the portion was huge! I have enough for two more meals I think. My partner got filet sliders that were so tender and delicious..... the service was great. Our waitress was wonderful. Definitely will be going back here!!

    My favorite part about this place is the draft beer is ice cold. Wings are decent. Fresh cut fries are great. Pleasantly surprised by the burger. Nice, big and juicy - cooked to perfection. The bar always seems to be bumping even on weekdays. Bartenders/waitresses are kind and quick on their feet.

    Stuffed pepper quesadilla

    Neighborhood bar that is a little hidden gem food spot. Your typical run of the mill mixed drinks, bottles, and small selection of draft beers, but the service and food are the real stars here. Interior was redone several years back, cozy atmosphere with nicer finishes now. Been to eat here several times, this time got the stuffed pepper quesadilla. I could seriously eat that like 3x a week, it was awesome. Prices are super reasonable too, can't hate that. Great neighborhood bar!

    CASH ONLY!!! They do have an atm inside! The staff is always so friendly here. Answer questions willingly and offer recommendations- which I love! This place is awesome in the summer. There is a little fenced in private patio. They have live music Wed nights. The food is also amazing! Everyone loves the bourbon bites which are a tender piece of steak that comes with a dipping sauce. We also had their shrimp special appetizer- sooo good. Shrimp was cooked just right For lunch I ordered the special as well. It was basically a philly burrito- pressed. Best part was they put the sauce over the top! GENIUS! My sister ordered the banana pepper quesadilla. She said it was so good! It had a kick but not too hot. The orders do not come with a side. We split an order of fresh cut fries. Very good and just enough to feed 3. I will keep coming back here for sure! Just have to remember some cash.

    Banquet food - salad, pasta broccoli alfredo, ravioli and chicken parm
    Kelly H.

    This place is a local favorite. Not only is their food amazing, the service is top notch, and the owners are almost always there to ensure everything is running smoothly. They have a dart board, jukebox, popcorn, outdoor patio, large bar area, and dining area. The most recent time I was here was for a banquet, so we had the whole dining room to ourselves. They served salad with a ranch & creamy Italian dressing mix (so good), raviolis, broccoli pasta alfredo, and chicken parm. Everything was so good, we all had to go up for seconds! We stayed and hung out at the bar after, and even though it was busy, the bartenders were very attentive. We always love coming here and will always be back. Only downfall is that it's cash only, but they do have an ATM on site!

I ordered the smash burger, my husband ordered the turkey sandwich. After we were waiting for our food for over 25 minutes, the server came over and said that he was just informed they don't have the turkey because they had an issue with that freezer. Ok, so my husband ordered the cheese steak because he was super excited for the bahn mi roll. My smash burger was alright, but the bread they use for their burgers remind me of those cheap buns you get from TOPS that just fall apart. The worst part was that they forgot the dog sauce on my burger, so I asked for the sauce, and THEY CHARGED ME FOR ASKING FOR SAUCE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO ALREADY BE ON THE BURGER I ORDERED. My husband made sure to tell me after we already left because he knew I would have fought it and our already 1.5 hour long lunch date would have been longer waiting for the refund... He ordered the cheesesteak and the sandwich was so small, and the "bahn mi bun" wasn't even toasted which is a signature for bahn mi bread. He said the flavor was fine but nothing to rave about. The worst part, for me, were the French fries that came with both of our meals. They were soooo heavily peppered that they were inedible. We asked for ketchup to try to make them tolerable, and they gave us a pre-portioned small cup of ketchup... You serve french fries with most of your menu, why isn't there ketchup on the table?!? Overall, It was a nice place to have on senrca street which used to only have the blackthorn and franchescas, but I would not eat here again.

Food was ready about five minutes after my scheduled time, which for as busy as they were, I thought that was great timing. Ordered the big sampler, with pulled chicken, pulled pork, brisket and ribs! Platter is a nice size with large portions, four of us ate on it. The pulled chicken for me was a stand out, so good! 10 piece chicken wings, cheeseburger with fries, pizza logs and crab cake platter. For our sides we tried the mac and cheese, pasta salad, baked beans, mash potatoes and sweet potatoe fries. Everything was good and would get again, except the crab cakes. These were just not good, very fishy, and burnt. The pizza logs were huge! The Mac and cheese had no seasoning, but was cheesy and after little salt and pepper wasn't to bad. Definitely on my top three favorite BBQ spots! I forgot pictures, but enjoy the video!

Today, same thing, the food was really good. My friend ordered the macaroni and cheese with pork belly, I tasted the mac and it was delicious! I ordered a bacon, egg burger, asked for it to be cooked well, no pink, and it arrived with lots of pink. Instead of sending it back, I just ate half and brought the rest to go so I can cook and eat it later. Our waiter was great, I forget his name though, nice guy. So, when I arrived at 11:15am there was only one other couple seated. I walked in and said hello to the waitress (think her name was Sally), she gave me a very dry hello, I told her I was waiting for someone, she said they weren't there yet, sat me down for two, said something else but it was under her breath, I couldn't hear her, didn't feel very welcomed but it's okay. Our table had crumbs on it, my menu had crumbs on it. I was disappointed but honestly, I just wanted to have a good brunch with my friend so I cleaned it myself. I finally had a moment to take in the decor and it made me feel a little uneasy as I noticed a Hindu Buddha head, some scary dolls, sculptures and some weird decor going on, goats everywhere except one wall that had monkeys on it. Goats and monkeys are fine, just saying it was weird Whatever. Lol That's fine and all but it's just not my thing.
