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.

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.

It's literally just steps away from the KeyBank Center, making it an ideal pre-game spot. The beer selection is excellent, with tons of options to choose from. My favourite was the Raspberry Wheat, it was super refreshing and packed with flavour. The ladies behind the bar were also kind enough to let me try a couple of different samples before I made my decision, which is always appreciated. For food, I ordered the Blackened Chicken Sandwich. To be honest, it wasn't quite the style of blackened chicken I'm used to. It felt more like grilled chicken with Cajun seasoning than a true blackened preparation. That said, it was still a very enjoyable sandwich. The chicken was juicy, full of flavour, and not dry at all, and the bacon was cooked exactly the way I like it. The fries were nicely seasoned and paired perfectly with the meal. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere with plenty of seating and lots of TVs, including some absolutely massive screens, making it a great place to catch other games while enjoying a beer. Great beer, good food, friendly service, and an unbeatable location for Sabres fans. I'll definitely be back! For more food, brewery, and travel reviews, check out our YouTube channel A&M Roam!

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.

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.

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!

The inside was super cute. It is on main street with the train track so there is basically no parking in the vicinity so it's a cold walk during winter. We ordered Kugel Latke for an appetizer. It was fine, it tasted like uncrisp tater tots. If there was a sauce of sorts to dip it in, it would have been better besides just potato. For mains we shared two half pizzas the Fig& Pig and the Pepperoni + Honey. They were both fine, they were half sized but still didn't seem like a lot. The person I was with thought it was too much fig, but I had no problem so that is preference. Though the pork belly was mainly fat. The people with us weren't fans of their food either. They also added Truffle fries and were told it would be extra which they agreed to, but it was an additional $9 not jut 2 or 3. For the service, we assumed it was all due to the massive party but it wasn't that great. We were right in front of the bartender and our water was refilled once the entire time we were there. We also didn't get silverware and when we asked for napkins we got a single paper one. We were also at the end of the bar which is where the severs would stand or get the food which was directly next to us which was a bit annoying due to the proximity, they were as close as sitting next to us at a table. No one checked on us either thoughtout our time. Overall, the food was fine, nothing amazing. I'm assuming they get a lot of Shea's traffic which is fine if you want a drink with a snack. I would not come here for an actual meal as it is a limited menu and you don't get a lot. The service wasn't great, but we're going with it was due to the large party. None of us will be returning. It was super cute with the lights though.

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!
