We waited about ten minutes for a table and enjoyed sitting at the bar for a beer and a drink. Wouldn't have complained if it was a bit longer - nice bar, comfortable, great lighting and ambience, I thought. Prices for beer and a mixed drink are about what you'd expect, won't break the bank. Bartenders were cool! Complimentary peanuts and popcorn in the back, help yourself. We had fun cracking peanuts and the shells on the floor remind me of places I'd go to with my family back in the day. Menu is everything you want when dining in WNY - burgers, wings, beef on weck, sandwich assortment, dinner plates and of course, a terrific fish fry. The fish was my choice, I find a fish fry hard to resist even though the entire menu looked good. Large portion of fish, pub fries, coleslaw and macaroni salad, all perfect. My friend had the black and blue burger with fries and commented how much he enjoyed it. He was also pleased that they cooked it to his requested temperature. Atmosphere in the dining area was very relaxed and the tables filled immediately after anyone left. Like the bar, I thought the lighting was excellent, not too dim but not harsh on the eyes and I found it cool that each table is illuminated more with light from above so you can see to eat just fine. Service was fast, just long enough to finish the peanuts after ordering. So I'm not a beer drinker and can't really comment on the selection but my buddy enjoys the blueberry that seems very popular these days. Overall menu prices are reasonable and in some cases, lower than similar menu items elsewhere. My fish fry was $17.99, pretty good, lots of places ask $22 and even that's reasonable. Definitely would return here.

They have a beautiful view of…read morethe creek, lots of windows letting in the sunshine, I really like this location for outdoor seating as well. The hostess was a class act, server was great and checked in regularly. The food is good, everything is priced about what I expected except the coffee. They only offer French Pressed coffee for $10 (I was able to have 2.25 cups of coffee). I paid $15 for coffee last time I went so that my friend could have one cup and I had three. Lol I do like the creamer, it was creamy thick, complimented the coffee well. I just couldn't believe I paid that for coffee. Normally, I would only drink 2 cups but drank 3 because I couldn't let it go to waste. Don't judge me, this was for brunch at 11am. Lol I recommend sharing plates. Not because the portion sizes are large or anything but just because everything tastes great, why not sample as much as possible. My friends and I tried a pizza, the AMAZING Mac and Cheese, and another time, I tried the cinnamon roll and eggplant sandwich. The bread was amazing, flavor was good but needed more eggplant. It felt like I was eating more bread than anything hearty inside it. Probably wouldn't order that again next time but it was still good. Their seasoned fries are also very good. The frosting on the cinnamon roll made this treat worth getting, it was a little hard/dry on the outside but I imagine that was just a mistake for that day as maybe it could have came to the table sooner. It was still reallyyyy delicious. I'll be returning again to try some other items but definitely come and bring a date. This is a nice spot for brunch, lunch and dinner, with adult family, friends or a date.

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.

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!

Found out about this pretty overlooked brewery. It has a pretty great selection without too much to…read morechoose from. 42N has a bigger location in the suburbs while this one is urban. Fairly okay prices on beers at least. The ones on tap include a few interesting fruit flavors and the food is crazy expensive for most stuff. Bigger than it looks inside but there's mostly seating at the bar and not as many tables available. It's one of the many breweries around here. They had a pretty great selection on tap. An okay amount. It's about $7 for a pint. Best one we had of these was the Oatmeal Cookie. This is a brown ale with notes of things including of course oatmeal. Food is limited. It's about $5 for the Side Salad. Topped with carrots, cucumbers, mesclun, red onions, and tomatoes, along with a choice of dressing and we got the apple shallot vinaigrette. As for the rest it's expensive. There's a few things such as flatbreads at $20 or more. It's not even an actual pizza just flatbread. There's a few plant based choices at least. Got to say that we could go here again. It's closed Mondays. This is located on Main at Tupper.

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!

A friend and I came to The Ridge West Seneca earlier in 2026 for a late dinner, well, he had dinner…read moreand I enjoyed a few St. Patrick's Day-themed cocktails. 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!
