    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.

    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 !

    Perfect place to do some shopping and then sit and have a drink or bite to eat afterwards.

    A dear friend drove to Buffalo from NYC to volunteer at an event and after a long day volunteering,…read morethey were looking for a hearty meal and some good drink. Seeing as I'm a Yelp-er, they wanted me to find a spot I hadn't been to yet, even though I had eaten dinner already on my own. I had The Ridge West Seneca saved in my "Places to Try" collection so I said let's go. Overall, I cannot wait to go back and grab a meal here and try the food for myself! We arrive just before 8pm on a Saturday night to a large gravel parking lot that was pretty busy, but we still found a spot pretty easily. We walked in and the hostess was able to seat the two of us at a booth right away! Inside it was very spacious with plenty of TVs going, a bar on one side, music playing overhead. Indoor noise was elevated (it's a restaurant that has a bar, it's going to not be quiet haha) but the two of us could carry on a conversation fairly normally. Our waitress came over immediately to let us know she'd be a few minutes as there were a few other tables she was handling. Fine by us as that allowed my buddy ample time to look over the menu and figure out what he wanted. I saw the St. Patrick's Day-themed cocktail specials menu so I knew what I was ordering. Our waitress though - Absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly friendly, had great personality, and was really accommodating in splitting the check (I took care of all our drinks, my friend took care of his dinner). Our waitress did a great job checking in on us at the perfect time, we never felt pressured, rushed. I didn't order any food but my friend ordered their Steakhouse Strip off the "Large Plates" section of the menu, and boy oh boy, did that look amazing! The 12-ounce strip was cooked to a picture-perfect medium-rare with plenty of tobacco onions on top and around the plate, and served over a generous bed of mashed potatoes and asparagus, served with a small cup of their A1 aioli. After seeing that, I certainly want to come back and order food. My friend really enjoyed their meal, the plate was clean! As for me, I ordered two St. Patrick's Day -themed cocktails: "Sham Rocked Shake" and "Irish Good Bye". The "Sham Rocked Shake" was vanilla vodka, crème de menthe, cream, and chocolate syrup and curls - This was creamy, delicious, not overly minty. The "Irish Good Bye" was Three Chord bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and lemon juice with a lime wedge - There was so much flavor in this cocktail, the lemon juice added a pleasant fruity 'punch'. Looking at the prices for these cocktails, I felt they were in-line with most other places and they were made well so no complaints from me. The Ridge West Seneca really surprised me! I've driven past it a few times and wondered how good it was. From our friendly waitress and service, the delicious cocktails, to the fantastic-looking food, I am impressed. I'm looking forward to coming back soon for another night of drinks and to try some food!

    Went here for Mothers Day brunch. There were 12 of us so we sat at a long hightop table in the bar…read morearea. Have been here several times before and this was the first time seated in the bar. The bar area is not as loud as the back room but still loud. Our server was attentive and there was too much food to take any pics. We started with coffee and cocktails followed with nachos and tots. I had coffee a mule some of the appetizers followed by the fried green tomato blt. There were also 2 different pizza's a burger, waffles, stuffed French toast, vegetable frittata, chicken and waffles, sou & salads and so much more. Most of the food was good, a few said it was just ok. If I come back I would definitely sit in the bar area or outside. The parking lot is very large so I've always been able to find a space. They also had to put a deposit to hold the reservation , I'm only to assume it was because it was a holiday.

    Chris's is still fantastic...the prices have increased, just like everywhere else. But this is one…read moreof those places where I feel ok paying a lot right now because the quality is there and the sandwiches are big. 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!

    Got take out for a work lunch. When first looking at the menu the prices were a little shocking,…read morebut when we got the food and saw the sizes it made sense. I had an assorted on sour dough. It was delicious and had plenty of meat. Coworker had the steak sandwich and was happy with it. Another had the fish taco and it was huge, more like a fish burrito and was even large to be considered a burrito.
