Rustifico
Arlene L.

Though we're members of the Mug Club, we haven't been here in a bit. Always great here. Rustifico Mexican Lager for me and Tropical Vapor Rocket for my husband with a pretzel for a snack. Perfect way to end the work week. Staff is always great. You're greeted like they've known you forever. Love the rustic decor.

Harvest Host over night at the Rusty Nickel Brewery in West Seneca NY. Really enjoyed their Tropical Vapor Rocket IPA!! Rusty Nickel Brewing Co is a proud NYS Farm Brewery, crafting locally sourced beer and cider since it opened in 2015. The brewery has been awarded for several of its staple beers and has won multiple awards for each of their unique bloody marys. The Tasting Room provides a very comfortable, cabin-in-the-woods feel, with views of the brewery. The full bar features NYS spirits, wine, mead, and cider. Coined by many as a 'hidden gem', Rusty Nickel is nestled in the picturesque, wooded landscape of West Seneca, NY. The brewery's expansive outdoor space boasts one of WNY's most beautiful biergartens, a heated patio, and the perfect place to host any event. This family-friendly brewery with a focus on supporting local is a great place for great food and beverage while offering games, a fire pit to hang and make s'mores, and dozens of fun events year round.

Pizza

Great drinks and ambience, don't order pizza. We didn't expect much but the pepperoni looked freezer burned and the cheese was gross (wasn't much on it either). The pizza was sourced from Rochester and I don't know if they were frozen but it was gross.

Keep in mind that the Rusty Nickel is a very rustic facility. If you like nature, this place is for you. In fact, a deer was grazing on the hill not 30 feet away from our table. The food menu is very limited but the beer was tasty. We had a reservation but couldn't find any staff members when we arrived so we just seated ourselves.

Stopped by when we were traveling around Buffalo. Great staff. Super friendly and helpful when selecting beer. Definitely will be back when traveling through Buffalo again.

Teddy and Joe, just a couple of fun guys serving beer.

This was our first visit to Rusty Nickel Brewing Company and definitely won't be our last. The vibe is very relaxed and welcoming. The beer menu is quite diverse with multiple offerings in each category. The beer was very good and well brewed. There were three bartenders working and we received excellent service. We were able to taste a small sample of the beer before ordering a full pint. I loved The Half Slice Orange Vanilla, which tasted like a creamsicle. My husband's favorite was the I Remember, Buffalo. It was a great experience and a fun afternoon.

Three of us stopped here after lunch at the Ebenezer Ale House. I was in the mood for something dessert-y/after dinner drink-ish, so I went with the Cafe Mocha Latte Nitro. I'm no beer expert, but I do love coffee and chocolate, so I did enjoy this. I like the creaminess of a nitro, and it also seems to bring out more sweetness. Their website claims "something for every taste", and that's true: beer (draft, bottles, cans), wine, cocktails, seltzers, ciders, mead. If you can't find a beverage that suits your fancy, that's on you. The atmosphere inside and out is fun and funky. The best part of our visit was sitting outside on a beautiful fall day, just relaxing and sipping a cold one.

Nice place! Great outdoor patio and back yard area, also offered board games and outdoor games. Food menu was small but great pricing for what you get! Good drink menu as well. Got a charcuterie board for $12 and was impressed with all the food on the board!

Partial flight including cream ale, mead, and a stout

Stopped here after visiting Niagara Falls. They have a nice selection of brews, and heated/covered outdoor space. No food available, but a restaurant next door

Cute patio

Awesome beer and major vibes! Loved the seasonal decor on the patio and the hazy ipa was so bomb!

I was so happy to stop by today and see Ted behind the bar. A Buffalo legend! So, obviously the service was the best in wny! There is a great selection of varieties of beers on tap, and with our group of 10, we tried a lot of them. I had the seltzer and the orange cream ale. Both are fantastic! Love the beer garden out back. There is a coy pond, gorgeous flowers, tons of patio furniture, and I'm told it is dog friendly too. Cheers!

Lazy day stop for a few cold ones and some grub courtesy of Yankee bbq. Had a chance to try the bomb pop inspired blue raspberry, cherry, lime sour and a great session IPA. We were welcomed immediately by staff, she helped to decide on our beer choices with friendly input from who I assumed to be a regular at the bar. Since it was a bit small inside we opted to go outdoors. The space was very nice! It was raining this day but the covered patio was spacious and dry! We lucked out to have the Yankee Bbq food truck on-site. Loganberry glazed pool burnt ends and brisket nachos really made the visit complete.

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!

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!

Came mid week after kindergarten graduation. We were the only ones sitting outside. Sat at the fire…read morepit so the kids & some adults could play cornhole. Was windy so they put the fire pit on, after 15 we asked to turn it off because it was too hot. We had to go up to the bar & order, flights are not served outside. We had apps....pretzel with spicy mustard, queso & pub sauce, boom boom shrimp, fried pickles with jalapeño ranch dipping sauce, & lobster eggrolls with jalapeño ranch dipping sauce. The apps were all real good but so filling we barely touched our meal. I ordered off the summer menu, Yellowstone campfire plate. It came with beef brisket, bbq chicken, baked beans, Mac& cheese and French fries. What I nibbled on was really good but unfortunately in all the confusion never took the leftovers. Everyone else mostly got salads and the summer quesadillas. We just ordered too much food for lunch.

Building/Atmosphere: 11/10 It's awesome inside. The menu…read morelooks great, made me super hungry and couldn't wait for our food. Love the vibes! Food: 0/10 Alright this is the third time I've come to this location. I'm trying to be fair but the bad food is consistent. For instance tonight I got the "campfire" plate which was fries, Mac and cheese, chicken, and brisket. Fries? Too hot to eat first. Mac and cheese? Literally colder than room temp and DRY! 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. I'll never recommend it and I'm actually just going to give away my $100 gift card to anyone who wants to dare to eat here.

While there I tried the Presto Pilsner & my husband got the Seriously Black Stout. When pouring his stout they realized the tank needed to be changed. They gave him what was left in the 1st tank and then gave him another full glass when the next was ready. Nice customer service. Both were tasty. I'd like to go back to check out some of their other choices. Maybe on a Wednesday night when they have a band out back, weather permitting. 2026-36

We…read morecame for the Yelp event at the backyard for Mr. Sizzle's, but decided to support the business by buying *lots* of food and drinks, so we're reviewing it on the regular page. Did we eat too much? Yes! Yes, we did, and it was so good, too! My husband ordered the small piggy burger, and the fries with cheese and bacon. The thick cut strips of bacon over the cheese were outstanding, and the bacon cheeseburger was excellent. The lettuce was crisp and the tomato slice was ripe. We also ordered two classic burgers and two orders of regular fries (we have a teenager at home); I loved the dill pickles in that burger! The burger was juicy and flavorful! It took about 25 minutes for the order to be ready, but we were the first customers, and everything is cooked to order. Where does the bar's name come from? The owner has two daughters: One is nicknamed, "Shalooby", and the other, "Loofer". 6/27/26 was the first day they were serving lemonade! My husband had a pilsner he adored. Lots of people around us were coming outside with flights of beer in every shade of the brewery rainbow. There's no mistaking a blueberry ale! Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the backyard: There's a courtesy water bowl for the beasties. There's a single unisex bathroom for the entire bar and patio. At peak times, there may be a line. Parking on the street. There's an adjacent Farmer's Market with additional parking (in the evenings only).
