We visited Scale House a long time ago and were unimpressed. It is under new ownership and was a delight. The beer was fantastic and the pizza was on point! We made it over 2x during our Seneca Lake stay, and experienced wonderful service and fantastic staff all around. There is plenty of room inside, but they have the option of a patio facing the lake and live music some evenings. A great addition to the east side of the lake! read more

Here we go!!! Out in the distant lands rolling hills and sunny lake vista at Scale House Brewery. LIve bluegrass today during the diner hour. Love the ambient red outdoor umbrellas and picnic table seating. nice bar and lots of tables indoors as well. Plenty of parking for a crowd or party. The beer is cold and the pizzas are loaded with fresh tasting toppings. grabbed the garden and a box to go of their hole made meatballs. Can't tell a lie I did take a bite. Great day for a fun family day out. read more

Best pizza I've ever had ... could Use a little sauce for the crust but the Hector Hot Chicken hit different! Super tasty! Side salad was also super fresh and made with love. The view on the deck with the sunset and live music was ALL THE VIBE! And the service ... wow ... literally a stream of folks checking on us, clearing dishes, bringing us water, food ... never needed a thing ... super attentive and helpful. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend ... read more

4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here. Skip to the end to see my rating scale. First time at Scale House but not our first trip to the FLX. There are a few really good breweries in the area and Scale House is right up there with them. If you've read any of my other brewery reviews, you know my top three considerations are outdoor seating (meaning it's dog friendly), convenient food choices, and of course the quality of the beer. They have a spacious covered deck and a great lawn area, so their outdoor seating is excellent. They have an outdoor stage and we were fortunate to get to see some of the local talent performing the afternoon we were there. The inside area is also pretty roomy for a brewery and has more of the industrial/earthy feel that I dig, rather than a contemporary vibe. They also have a built-in pizza shop and it appears as though many patrons go there as much for the pizza as the beer. My one regret from our trip is that I didn't take advantage of the opportunity to grab a pie there...it looked fantastic. Top it all off with a solid beer selection and Scale House is definitely a place that I'd go a little out of my way to visit. I am going to try to talk my wife into heading back there...mostly to get a shot at trying a Meat Special. My rating scale: 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here read more

We LOVE Scalehouse! Jen and Luke are so attentive and always meet our expectations. Thankful for such a local family hot spot! Every time we go (weekly) we are welcomed with open arms! Always! So organized even when they are so so so busy!!! Love them all!!! read more

Rude and hostile manager. Disorganized lines getting food. I actually felt unsafe for a moment. Will never visit again. I was absolutely not yelling at anyone. My husband wasn't even in there at that point. I was alone and politely ordering from the waiter when a "local" man came up behind me and started confronting me. I was literally just done adding a tip to the bill when the man came up behind me. When I told the manager he was harassing me, she basically smiled. I get that my husband could have complained about the chaotic lines in a nicer manner but I didn't yell at anyone. And the manager let a strange man confront me when I was simply ordering and paying. He was basically a bully who waited until I was by myself. And the manager clearly knew him and was fine with his behavior. They "stepped in" to me, who hadn't even yelled when I was alone and paying/leaving tip. Like I said, a bully. read more

If you haven't tried the Popeye pizza, do yourself a favor and order one immediately! This is one of my favorite pizzas ever. It's also just as delicious the next day. I'm a vegetarian, but the rest of my family isn't and they also all love the meatballs. The service is fine. Friendly enough. The ambiance is also fine. There is indoor seating, which sometimes gets a bit loud, and lots of outdoor seating, on both a deck and out in the yard. Highly recommend this place for the food! read more

First noticed this place as I was passing it, and after a brief pause, I decided to turn around and try it, because they have a deck for eating with a view of Seneca Lake. First came my G3O IPA beer, followed by the Popeye pizza, a garlic pizza with spinach and Feta cheese. I usually have garlic pizza made with mozzarella cheese, but Feta was actually a very tasty change of pace. And the waitress was very friendly and talked me into having a cannoli for dessert, and it was much better than expected, so thanks to the waitress! read more

December in the finger lakes mean less food options and earlier dinners. We were lucky that scale house was open and also 5 min from where we were staying! The pizza was delish! The crust was perfection, so chewy. They did not skimp on the toppings. I loved "the ouchy"- a hot honey pepperoni pizza and my husband liked the Alabama hot chicken and pickles. We were glad they were able to do a halfsy so we could both get what we wanted! Beers were good, too, I particularly liked the cannoli barrel aged stout. read more

I have been living in Hector part time for years, yet I have never checked this place out. Went tonight by myself and had a wonderful time. It's the place where tourists and locals truly mix. They have a lawn area for self serve, which means you can order your drinks in plastic cups, to go cans, and food to go, then enjoy them at the picnic tables they have out there. It's also in front t of the stage, so locals bring their own chairs and hang out, dance, and enjoy. Inside the restaurant they have deck that you can sit out side, listen to the band and have a beautiful view of Se wca lake. Inside they have your typical tables and bar. The ambiance is super cool. It set up for socializing. As I mentioned earlier, I went alone and I was jabbering the entire time with staff and other locals. I felt completely comfortable walking in by myself. The staff was awesome, friendly, funny, and attentive. The parking gets pretty jammed when a band is playing, I was glad I showed up an hour before they started, when I left people were waiting in their cars for people to leave, and parking is pretty extensive so it was surprising. I ordered a beer flight, for 12.00 you get to order 4 of their craft beers. It's a great way to figure out what you like. I have to admit, the alcohol content was pretty high in some of the beers. The flights are 3oz each. I had a small buzz when I finished. Thank goodness they provided lots of water to cleanse your palate. I ended up settling on the cream ale. But only had one, to go with my Ouchy pizza. Which is an awesome small pepperoni pizza with hot honey drizzled on it. It was mouth watering delicious. There was a ton of spicy pepperoni on it. The dough on the pizza was one of the best I've ever had. Nice and thin in the center and puffy and crispy on the outside. They had an interesting looking pizza with pickles on it. I wasn't brave enough, but the couple next to me ordered it and said it was delicious. read more

We were seated quickly and the service was quick and friendly. Refills were offered frequently. The pizza is good, not great but good. We had the chicken bbq and a half cheese, half pepperoni. I little too cheesy for my liking, which is know sounds kind of like blasphemy, but that's just my opinion. Overall for a quick meal, it will be just fine. Will it be a must go back, not necessarily, but I would, when in the hood. In total we spent $80 ish for a family of 4 , and that was with 2 beers, a Dr Pepper and a lemonade that was "too pulpy" according to the 11 year old . read more

Food ..service....amazing! During a snowy.cold weekend we decided to get away from New Jersey. Day 2 brought us here.... We were out and about in the morning but got hungry! Nothing showed for food that was open or even interesting for lunch but drove past and saw lots of cars so took a chance! Highly recommend! Take the chance! So worth it!!! read more

Beer and Food are top notch. it was a nice place to visit after visiting a winery and have some very comfortable food with a local beer. The space is open and the very inviting. The service is excellent the food comes fast and while not Avantgarde it is completely solid and very much matching the general them of the brewery and bar. Although I do have to say that Chicken Wing Pizza and BBQ Chicken and Bacon pizza were a total hit with kids. Service is friendly but not intrusive, like in a lot of similar places I've been. Overall I want to visit it in the summer. I think a concert at the stage with views of Seneca will do some wonders. read more

We go here when we are in the area. It's always busy and you might have to wait but their formula of pizza and beer (and the meatballs, salads, cannolis and other things) coupled with a great environment and friendly staff is worth it. It's a rustic yet utilitarian vibe and they sometimes have live music indoors during the colder months. In the warmer months they have seating outside and music. The service is great and you don't have to wait too long for food. Highly recommended. read more

A fun brewery to head to for dinner! A lot of places close pretty early in the Finger Lakes, but luckily most breweries stayed open until around 8PM or so. We made our way to Scale House on a Friday night for dinner, and we were excited to see they had live music! Despite the limited options for food in the area and the music ongoing, we had no issues snagging a table outside. Service was pretty solid - checking in on us enough but not overbearingly so. I will comment that there were a ton of flies / bugs in the patio area (we had to cover up our food while in between bites), but that's no one's fault! Since it was a brewery, of course we needed to explore their beer options! We were pleased that they offered flights, especially since they have a ton of choices! My husband and I both opted for flights, him focusing more on their IPAs and me focusing more on the ales and sours. I particularly liked the kettle sour, but all my tasters hit the spot. My husband shared similar sentiments with his brews! For food, we started off with the meatball sliders which were fine - nothing too much to write home about, pretty standard fare. I liked the baguette that was paired with the meatballs, but the bread was kinda hearty and made for a difficult bite (wound up fork and knifing the dish instead). A lighter bread may have been better! We split the broccoli and feta pizza, which was nice, but again, not something I would rave about. The feta was a unique touch, and the broccoli added a nice crunch, but the pizza itself was pretty standard fare. It had a moderately thick crust that was enough to hold up all the goodies; I typically prefer thinner, but this worked for this pie. The meatball started and a small pizza was enough to feed my husband and I for dinner, and prices for everything were fairly reasonable given the portion size. Overall, Scale House was a fun spot for dinner in the Finger Lakes. Their beer was stronger than their food, but we did enjoy our pizza and meatballs overall. The live music on weekends is a great touch and made the experience more fun. I would recommend Scale House for anyone looking for a convenient dinner and a solid beer (if you tire of wine!) while visiting the Finger Lakes! read more

We have been there numerous times and every time we go it's amazing food and the service is 110 %

My husband and I each ordered a flight here- great trying the nice variety. . I LOVED THE hazy IPA & we both enjoyed the peanut butter stout, which we grabbed a 4 pack of to take home. This was after a yummy meal which we shared and still had left overs of: 5 meatballs, salad & and their cheese quesadilla. Staff was super friendly, service fast- everything clean, and they were open late and here in off-season. Additionally- view of lake was beautiful. It's a great stop in Seneca. We opted for beers here but noticed they carry nearby wines, too. read more

It's true, the pizza is great, great sauce and dough, cooked perfectly. The beer selection has something for everyone, and the two we tried were excellent. There was a Neil Young tribute act playing there when we went, and he was pretty good. The seating is a tiny bit awkward if you don't get a booth, and service was decent considering the popularity. Would definitely recommend, good value for the money. read more

Food was outstanding and service and atmosphere terrific! Great beer flight! Terrific place - don't miss if you are in the area!

We were heading into the south east side of Seneca Lake to say at an Airbnb. We ordered a supreme pizza for takeout and they had it ready for us right away. The pizza was really good. I highly recommend it. We would have gone in, but we had our dog with us. The place was happen as there was music playing. I wish we could've gone in. read more

The pizza was delicious! We ordered takeout after a long day of travel. The place was packed for live music. My wife and I got two personal pizzas and that was enough for us. Looking forward to going back and trying the beer and more pizza. read more

Wow! This place has achieved nirvana!! Their pizza crust is the best - NYC / New Haven / Chicago, they have not achieved this quality. - crisp, not too doughy and just the right amount of sweetness. We got the Pickle Rick and The Ouchy. Both were outstanding! Oh, and the beer is really good too. Staff is nice and helpful. read more

We heard great things about this place from the locals so four of us decided to give it a try. It was super busy on a very hot Wednesday evening. There isn't much seating inside, but they have a deck with picnic tables outside and since they were in the middle of a heat wave, it wasn't hard to find an outside place to sit! I ordered the Chicken, Bacon, Ranch pizza and loved every bite of it. Our friends enjoyed their pizza as well. Our server was really working his butt off and they kept the much-needed water flowing (gave us a pitcher). read more

We live nearby and get food here almost weekly. They have the best pizza around! I like the vegetable pizza (with no spinach) and my partner builds his own with cup and char pepperoni and basil. I also think they do the best Caesar salad on Seneca Lake, and I can almost never pass up their cannolis!!! We enjoy their wine and beer selection too. If I could provide any constructive criticism it's that the garlic on the white pizzas needs to be cooked longer. I love their white pizza but I stopped ordering it because of this. The acoustics of the restaurant could also be improved - it's pretty loud inside! We often do takeout (which is always timely and delicious!) because we don't want to be in a loud space. read more

Stopped in here after visiting some other wineries. We really liked their pizza and beer. Jenn is a great server. She was very engaging and she was polite. The locals even invited us to play the video bowling game during our visit. Super nice. I would recommend this is a great place to hang out. I'm sure it is nice in the summertime without the snow. read more
