    Double cheeseburger. Remember to say "No salt, please" or you'll get lots of salt.

    It's a gift shop. Wait! It's a restaurant. Wait! It's a bar. Wait! It's a convenience store. Well, whatever it is, it's way cool. Have a cheeseburger with fries or tater tots. Get some gifts and Buffalo memorabilia. An eclectic place, for sure. It's easy to get at on #2 William or #19 Bailey (soon to be BRT) buses. There's some steps to negotiate.

    Cute place to come and get some food and a beer. Over at the Clinton Bailey market. Stop in and patronize your neighbors.

    By word of mouth we found this place in our neighborhood. They had a pet adoption event going on so it was busy but still had lots of fun. Walked around to look at everything for sale. Lots of local vendors including 2 that reside in the terminal. Great way to promote your local friends. On top of that they have a kitchen and sell some good food. They also sell beer, wine and ciders. So you can enjoy some shopping then sit and get some lunch. We will be back and nice to see them utilizing the terminal for good.

    I was gonna have a taste and take the pic. Ooops, it was that good! It's that good.

    This place is a hidden gem. I wish I found in sooner. Tucked away in the Niagara Food Terminal is this awesome restaurant and artisan market. The people are extremely friendly, great casual atmosphere and great beer list. I ordered the chicken fingers. They were so good I tried to post a pic of the food, but I ate it too fast for a pic, lol. The prices on their menu and in the artisan market are fantastic. I love this place and can't wait to take my wife to their weekend brunch.

    What a cool place! Very cool, dog friendly! Atmosphere is a Cracker Barrel type place shopping through all Buffalo made items. The food is all very fresh and fun! I had a wonderful tuna melt with tater tots. My friend had a buffalo chicken sandwich We both shopped afterwards and found some very cool items.

    Went to their grand opening this Saturday with a friend and I found it to be a very cool space . Part Buffalo souvenir shop and part cafe... we decided to do lunch here and I'm happy I did . I ordered a BLT with cheese (a steal at $8.95 ) and Genesee Kolsh ($4 ) . Service was fast and friendly plus that BLT was perfectly prepared with crisp bacon . With our purchase , we got a coupon for $5 off a $20 or more purchase in the store , so I bought a Buffalo puzzle and some chips . I will definitely be back , especially since their patio outside looked so inviting !

    The Ridge West Seneca - Rustler Burger: Excellent burger; Nice, big, crispy strips of bacon on top

    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!

    This place will definitely be added to my frequent dining locations! An absolute hidden gem in West…read moreSeneca. Decent prices for large portions of amazing food. 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!

    I drive by this reataurant on my way home from work and I finally decided to give it a try because…read moreI was not in the mood to cook! I ordered a 2 meat combo with kofta and gyro meat. It came with rice and salad with your choice of toppings and a ton of small sauces. All the sauces are delicious, especially the Tzatziki.The meats were tender with some crispy edges that gave a nice texture to each bite. I also ordered a tikka chicken sandwich with lemon pepper fries, a 4 pk of falafel with hummus, a mango Lassi and extra pita. I enjoyed it all. The chicken was literally pieces of thigh meat marinated and grilled with your choice of toppings and a special sauce. The chicken was extremely tender and flacorful. I've never had lemon pepper seasoning on my fries but i certainly will now. Yum. The falafel wasnt overly dry and had good flavor along with the hummus. The mango Lassi was tart yet sweet and helps you to digest everything! I will 100% order from here again!

My partner ordered for us saying it's going to be a great lunch, and it was. He tried this place before. The large option was a perfect size for two. It's one of those restaurants where the best way to order is through their website. Or, just look at what they offer and which combo fits your taste buds the best. It would speed up the order process as well (at least for me;). I am not someone who can evaluate Middle Eastern cuisine from extensive experience or frequent consumption, but you should definitely visit Papa's Halal Gyro. It's truly worth it. Then judge for yourself. Yes, the garlic sauce is very intense but delicious. Just don't have it before a business meeting or if you are planning to have a rendezvous soon after your meal. The best, find a partner who loves garlic as much as you do ;). Next time, I'll try White Home/Dill Sauce with just a splash of Mint Sauce, and maybe a little Garlic Sauce on the side.

I'm not sure how long I'll feel that way though! :-) I try to get something different each time we go. This time I got the turkey jalapeno club. Along with the side of fries we shared, it was enough for two meals. It was really delicious!! They roast the turkey breast themselves and the jalapeno bread is out of this world. I would definitely get this again. Matt got the jalapeno cheeseburger, which had two thick beef patties side by side on the jalapeno bread...at $18.95 it was actually a pretty good deal. He's ordered this before and loves it. He especially likes the fried jalapenos they add. The fries are house made and delicious. One order is enough for two. We'll definitely be back!
