    Game time!

    Can't say enough about this little plaza bar. I've lived down street for the last 7 years. Already tons of fun memories here. It is my default bar, strong first choice for wings, even had a bday party here. It may be a typical run of the mill neighborhood sports bar, but it has good space, comfortable layout, TVs everywhere, reasonable drink prices, decent selection, seemingly well kept, and always pretty good service. The real secret ace-in-the-hole here? The food. Everything that comes out of that kitchen is f***ing dynamite. It's a super small menu of mostly just bar food, but just wow. Such quality. It really makes me not want to eat any other bar food. I think their wings easily deserve a "Top 5" spot for Buffalo-area wings. Says right on the menu, please allow at least 30 mins for wings so we can cook them properly. It's the only place where I don't have to say extra crispy, thank you for that. I've probably ate here 50 times now and never once had a bad food experience, always perfect. I'll never stop, can't stop!

    Haven't been in but got takeout tonight and it was pretty tasty. We've seen this place every time we pick up Chinese takeout and it always looks to be hopping. We're not bar types but love bar type food. I ordered the grilled bbq chicken sandwich with Gouda, bacon, onion petals, tomato and lettuce. It was really tasty. I've always wanted to find a grilled chicken sandwich that was actually good and craveable. Cheese bacon bbq and fried onions can do a lot for a naked chicken breast yo. The bun was grilled. The chicken had a nice grilled flavor with a tasty bbq hint and was not dry. The sandwich came with tator tots that were actually seasoned and crispy. Win. They did a great job packing for takeout too. The tomato and lettuce were separate from the cheesy bacon chicken side and nothing was soggy when I assembled this monster sandwich. The boyfriend had beef on weck. The beef came in a separate container so his sandwich wasn't soggy either. He said, "Schwabls it ain't. But it's good." He also had wings and enjoyed them as well.

    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!

We got the Viking Stinger Mac and Sunrise Smash burger. Both phenomenal dishes, and the French fries were some of the best I've had in the area. Make sure that if you're getting the Mac that you're ready to carb load because this was definitely not a healthy dish but a great indulgence. The restaurant itself has a relaxed atmosphere with indoor and outdoor dining along with a bar. Inside was a bit noisier so we went outside and even though it's off a main road, the vibe was still good. Service was quick for a Sunday evening. We will definitely be back at this location soon!

Finisher the drink on to the next one and order dinner. Three of us ordered broiled fish $18.99, it came with fries that we all thought were too salty, Cole slaw that was creamy and real good & pasta salad that we all enjoyed. Two ordered the chicken quesadilla and said it was good. The one who had the roast beef said it was kinda dry and tough and agreed the fries were salty. And one had the vegetable harvest skillet, it came with soup or side salad. She opted for the side salad that was good and quite large for a side. They would only do one check but could take multiple cards. It was relaxing going that early because all conversations could be heard as the night went on it got very loud, it was after 6 when we left and the noise level was high.

However, as a regular at Ebenezer Ale House, I've been incredibly impressed with their gluten-free options. Tonight, for the first time, I decided to try their gluten-free burger--and it was absolutely delicious! It was so satisfying that I could only eat half of it. My usual go-to is the gluten-free chicken quesadilla, but tonight I decided to step outside my comfort zone and try something different, and I'm so glad I did. If you're gluten-free, don't be afraid to explore the menu and try something new. Ebenezer Ale House has some truly amazing gluten-free choices!

The craziest part about it is that Winfield's Pub is literally just 10 minutes from my House. A conveniently small place that packs big Bold Flavors. Like as you are driving down Ridge Road towards the main Lackawanna area. A place that if you want to enjoy, you'd have to park in front of it or park on the Side Streets of the neighborhood across from it and walk over. After trying out their Food at a Stillwater Farm Dinner consisting or Birria Tacos and Sausage stuffed Chicken Breast. To me that was a nice welcoming Card telling me to come right away instead of wasting more time ignoring the Place. You walk up 3 Steps and in you are greeted by the Owner's wife Sherryl, the Owner and the Head of Winfield's (Tab Daulton) is running the show making sure food gets pumped out of their Small Kitchen. While their son Thomas is at the Bar making Cocktails of the highest Quality with some of the most unique names that I've ever heard. My 1st visit was enjoying a Birthday Dinner with loved ones in the center of the Restaurant. While going over the menu, I had my 1st Cocktail called The Ghostwriter in a tall cylindrical glass that had Gin, Herbal Liqueur, Coconut, Lime, Lemongrass Syrup & Dill. Sweet and Herbaceous. Next up was some Fresh made Focaccia Bread studded with Rosemary, Garlic, Tomatoes and Zucchini that was so Warm and Flavorful like it just came right out the Oven. You know I like to drink Beer and cook with it too, I couldn't help but get myself a cup of their Beer Cheese soup with Bratwurst and Housemade Croutons. Every single Spoonful I took was Rich with a hint of Spicy heat at the end. Next up was a plate off Duck Confit Poutine with Goat Cheese (I opted for that instead of Cheese Curds). You might look at it and see a big globby mess but what I saw and what I ate was pure Gluttonous Heaven. French Fries, bits of Rich and Tender Duck Meat and mild and Tangy Cheese which equaled a comforting Bite. Next was another Cocktail I got called the Dirty Harry (named after one of Clint Eastwood's best-known roles). Another drink that hit hard consisting of Pineapple, Doctor Bird Rum, Boomsa Herbal Liquor and Banana Shrub Jam. While waiting for my main course, I tried some of Nathan's BBQ Pork Belly Burnt Ends. Who doesn't like tender Pieces of Meat with the outside bring Crispy while the Meat inside just melts away on your Tongue. For our Entrees, everyone enjoyed something different like Nathan and Brianna having Seared Chicken with Vegetables, Mike enjoying a Burger, Rick just getting a few Appetizers, Grandma Carol eating Fish Tacos, Jimmy and Kathy enjoying a Steak. While I got myself Seared Scallops over Sweet Corn Risotto with Tarragon. This looked to me and ate like a Summer Dish, why on earth was it on the Menu during close to Fall/Winter, I don't know. But I'll say this, I loved every bite, you get Sweetness from both the Seafood and the Corn with the Tarragon at the end giving it a light hit of Licorice. Thomas kindly gave me a Complimentary Drink while waiting for Dessert called the Legislation #2. It had Rye Whiskey, Dry Vermouth, Orange Cognac and Acidic Phosphate. While it had all those Ingredients, it was a simple looking Drink with a Jurassic sized Ice Cube in it. But I will say this, this drink packed one heck of a Potent Punch. To finish off the Meal, I got myself a big slice of Guinness Chocolate Cake. One of my favorite Beers has been Transformed into a Dessert. It had such a Deep chocolate Flavor with richness from the frosting packed in between each layer. I walked over and personally thank Tab and his Crew for the great Food that night. The only issue we had was waiting to get our Checks, but other than that everything went great. Another one to cross off my list, another restaurant that I will no longer Ignore. Winfield's better be ready for some more Visits from me in the Future. !!!

No cheese...like cold dry noodles? The brisket was slimy and small portion sized, the chicken was fine I guess. Everything else was so gross though by the time I got to the chicken I didn't care. I've come every time with my family of 4, and all 3 experiences were the same. I wish the food was anything but what it is because I'd love to come back here.

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!
