Went with a group of friends. Sat outside which was nice. There is for sure a great beer selection. The menu is loaded with so many things it's hard to choose. I ended up getting a salad. I know so lame - I should have gotten a greasy burger or something not so good for you but I was trying to go the"healthier" route. I should know by now that this is not the place to go the "healthier" route. (Not that a salad with bacon in it is really a healthier option anyway I digress....") The waitress was very friendly so service was not an issue. My one friend got the mac and cheese which I tried but just too creamy. My two other friends got salads as well. Maybe it was just me and my lame salad but I just didn't really like this place. read more

Never in all my times eating boiled corned beef dinner was I ever so disappointed. For whatever reason they cut the corned beef in large chunks and then charred them in the grill and sucked out all the moisture. They baby carrots were not cooked and the whole dish lacked flavor. Why change a time honored tradition? read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch on my way through town. Unfortunately I had a long drive ahead of me so beers were out of the question, which is a shame since this place has a great selection. I started with the French onion soup which for a cup was a nice size. Tons of cheese over French bread and a decent onion base. The only fault was that it was a bit on the salty side. Next I had the beef on weck with chips a pickle. The sandwich was a little disappointing compared to others I've had, mostly because of the bun; the prime rib was nice and tasty. The chips were home made and had a really nice crisp to them, and were thicker cut than you normally see, which I really liked. Service was excellent. Not sure if that was because I was only one of two tables, or in spite of it, but either way - great. Three stars for good, but not great, food with terrific service. Next time I'll stop in for beers. read more

I wanted to try this place because they are a partner with Southwest Rapid Rewards and I saw the great reviews and pics of the food so I thought why not?! The inside was a little too dim for me but once we were seated and my eyes adjusted to the light it was fine. Our server was prompt, nice and took our order within 5 mins of being seated and it was pretty busy too. I ordered a bloody mary to start and it was delicious. They use a cucumber flavored vodka and I believe that added the extra pizazz that the drink had. I ordered the hot pepper bombs, mac n cheese and double order of wings (half lemon pepper and half honey mustard). Let me just tell you the mac n cheese.. holy moly its sooooo good!!! Its gouda and cheddar with prosciutto and i was a bit thrown off with the ham being added but it was really delicious, so so good. The hot pepper bombs also surprised me because I expected them to be hot but they were actually the opposite. I was expecting an overpowering hotness that would have made the bombs not that enjoyable but what I got was a flavorful blend of cheeses and peppers that were sooo good. The irony of this visit is that I didn't even have my Southwest card on me to get the bonus points lol but being that the food was so good and the service was nice I will be back again. read more

See all

Food is good, wish the prices matched the portions. I've ordered from here many times, usually I'm at the rusty nickel. Usually we get a side of the Mac and cheese (which is great) but this time I ordered a full entree of the Mac and cheese. The full size was the same amount as the side portion! I paid almost 4 times as much for the same portion! I will probably eat somewhere else and then head to the rusty nickel or just order food from the rusty nickel read more

We used to go here quite often because we live in the area, the drinks are good and the food is fine. Our number of visits has diminished substantially as every time we stop in there's a service issue of some kind. In Fact, we try to sit at the bar anytime we come in to avoid it (the bartenders are generally attentive and nice- especially the guy that's there a lot and the girl who works Monday)! Our most recent visit we got a table at 9:25 (kitchen was closing at 11) and were told by our waitress that her shift ended soon and that we needed to pay right when the food came out. Um, what? We didn't say anything, but how is that acceptable? We did as she asked, paid the bill, tipped her, then never saw her again for the duration of our stay... and sat with our dirty dishes all over the table until we left. read more

Don't be fooled into thinking this is just a beer house. Nothing lacking on the beer menu, with regularly rotated taps (22 at my last count), and many more bottled delicacies. Ebenezer has a well crafted menu sure to please everyone in your party. A few suggestions- BBQ Meatloaf sandwich Spicy Asian Chili wings French Onion soup And the hot pretzels.... Pretzels are very good, but the homemade doing sauce sets them apart! Some combo of honey mustard and mayo (that's all they'll tell me). My daughter (8) was impressed they let her sub out Alfredo sauce on the kids pasta. Happy kids = Happy parents. read more

The food here is delicious. I love the creativity of their specials, and everything always tastes amazing. My one complaint is that service is sometimes really slow. I don't come with family-size groups anymore. But when it's just me, or a one-on-one meal, I haven't had as many issues. I recommend giving it a shot! read more

I have had good experiences with this location in the past, both food and drink. My fiancee and I went about 2 months ago, sat in the lower section. It was muggy and warm, I was sweating just from sittting there. The food itself was meh; the burger had a ton of oil on it and was falling apart in my hands, flavor was not good. The chips were stale and soggy. My fiancee's portabello sandwich was decent, and I ended up just splitting that with her. Rating it a 2 based on decent prior experiences, but you guys gotta get it together! read more

I'm only giving this place 3 stars because I've only eaten here once and I wasn't thrilled but so many other people have given such great reviews and feedback that I'd like to go back again and give them another chance. So I may come back and change the review to something more favorable... I went for a fish fry and my guest and I waited an overly long time for a table, the bar was PACKED with barely any room to even walk through, let alone get to the bar and order a drink, the dining area is right next to the bar area and because there were so many people drinking and talking it was extremely loud. We waited I'm guessing 35-45 min for a table and then were seated at a small table in the middle of the bar area with groups of people drinking all around us. The fish fry itself was good, the portion is big, sides were tasty and fresh and the fish was crispy and light, not too greasy. Good fish fry. If you don't mind a loud, crowded bar/tavern atmosphere while you eat then this place is for you. Like I said, I will go back on a weeknight when its not so crowded and try it again. Hopefully it won't be so loud and busy. read more

Nearly every meal in our order was missing something or did not listen to our accommodations like no mushroom and mashed sweet potatoes instead of sweet potato fries. Great place but the food was just not it. read more

Yesterday (Wednesday) First time going with my son. Incredibly long wait time for food. The appetizer and entre were brought out together. The Appetizer was Hot, the entre was Not. We weren't given any silverware or napkins until I flagged down a server 15 minutes after being served our food. The check came when I was still eating, and I had to literally pull my plate closer to me to keep the server from whisking it away. The experience was thoroughly rushed and unpleasant thanks to incredibly bad servers. I do not ever want to go back. read more

Love coming here now. Foods decent. Always know what I like to drink. Treat you good if you get the right wait staff. Always a million cars in the lot and never as many people inside so don't be afraid to stop in! read more

We ordered takeout due to the COIVD-19 restrictions. All of the food ordered came out hot and stayed that way on my drive home (which is good - nobody likes cold or lukewarm food!). Ordered an app of the spinach dip and it was great. Ordered a sandwich and a burger as an entree - both were huge and very good! Very happy that EAH is able to stay in business for takeout during these troubling times. We will be sure to visit in-restaurant once all goes back to normal! read more

Picked up 2 fish fry dinners today. Both dinners were missing the pasta salad, cole slaw, AND tartar sauce. The french fries & fish were ok but soggy. So for $13 a piece, we got soggy fish & fries...no sides or sauce! Not impressed. Definitely will NOT get it again! read more

Stopped in for happy hour. Half price on some appetizers and a deal on drinks and craft beer. We had the Alehouse Angels - shrimp wrapped in bacon and grilled and served with a spicy dipping sauce. Wonderful! Then we tried the stuffed hot peppers. Wonderful. Loud. Crowded and fun! read more

Ebenezer Ale House - Stone IPA and stuffed hot peppers. Hits the spot! - New American Near Me - West Seneca, New York

Love this place! We've been going for years and it's always great. I do miss the schwiss burger they took it off the menu and it was really good. The nachos are delicious and so are the wings. I like the Betty and my husband likes the spicy goat burger. read more

Scott was our bartender and was really great. My wife and I came in with the intention of going you to the patio for dinner. There was a bit of a wait so we sat up at the bar for a beverage. The service was really great, and we decided to eat right there. As someone who has worked in various service industries for a number of year u can say that from my people watching there were not any patrons that looked like they were in a rush to get out. Always a sign of great service and atmosphere to me. Would definitely recommend a visit for dinner or drinks. read more

Courtney was great. Very knowledgeable when it came to food and beer. Also very friendly and down to earth. One of the more attractive waitresses here. Would definitely recommend her. read more

I was there on a Thursday evening with a group of 4. The restaurant was dirty. The glass my drink was served in was filthy dirty, inside and out. The windows looked like they have NEVER been cleaned. The sunlight that was able to get through the windows should be shaded because we had to change our table 3 times. The food, appetizers and main courses, were cold. The service was very slow, but considering there wasn't enough help, our server did her best. And, a restaurant that serves Guinness on tap, should know how to pour it the right way. This bartender had NO clue. I gave this place 1 star only because I couldn't give it a half a star. This place is the reason why There should be a letter designation A-B-C, for all restaurants, just as they have in California read more

Stopped here for lunch and the food was good but the service was HORRIBLE! Got seated outside and our server took 15-20 mins to finally come and take our order. Our food came and the server didn't come back to check till after we were done eating. Took about another 20 mins to finally get to-go boxes and ask for the check AFTER we asked the other server to get ours. read more

Their stuffed peppers are amazing. Very clean and friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth the trip!

I've been here before, admittedly about a year back when I last traveled to upstate NY chasing fall colors. And the last time, Ebenezer happened to have not only a great atmosphere, good beer selection, and not-too-loud music, but it also had a good chef. This time, everything else was the same, but the chef... well. He didn't know what to do with boneless short ribs on Hubby's burger, and he knew even less to cook down my pasta's Cajun sauce to meld it. Basically, we had a burger with no salt or pepper, just some unseasoned mayo, and a pasta sitting in raw, and I mean raw, tomato-and-spice. I'm adding a star for last year's experience, would have scored a one if I'd been there for the first time this weekend. read more

I've been here a few times, I enjoy the unique burgers and they are always cooked correctly.

This is a cool spot to hang out in West Seneca. Place is never quiet on a weekend with difficulty finding parking in the evenings. Great beer selection, whether you like your craft IPAs or the classics. If you like beer, this is a good spot for you. They have some pretty good food here. Haven't had a bad burger there yet. Even the sandwiches aren't half bad. I'm not the biggest beer guy, but I appreciate this place for what it's worth. read more

Decent place! Good service. Ok fish fry...kind of small. Great Cobb salad and house dressing. Would def go back

We visited as a party of 5 around 3 pm so the place was busy but not packed. I had heard good things about the food, but the experience was pretty terrible. The waitress Niki was inattentive, and it took us almost 20 min to get drinks. Since it was that odd time between lunch and dinner, we only ordered 3 burgers and a bowl of soup between the five of us. Nothing complicated and no special instructions. We then waited nearly an hour for food before giving up. Not once did the waitress come by to check to see if we needed more to drink or to offer an apology about the wait. In fact, when we went to pay for our drinks and leave, the only explanation/apology we got was "you haven't been waiting an hour!" Rude, poorly trained staff and I will not be back. read more

Wonderful , is always my motto , when a restaurant serves delicious food . I have NEVER been dissatisfied nor dissapointed. West Seneca Class of 63 meet there monthly for a luncheon. Our menu selection is quite variable , which is nice . Don't have to order the same old thing over and over . Change is good ! Sometimes we get a little loud , depending on the size for us who attend , but you know what ? They have NEVER told us to quiet down . Hmmm Maybe we weren't THAT loud after all ! Also , they let us stay there as long as we want . They don't give us a time limit like many a restaurant would . We have the downstairs level most always by ourselves . So, people . Take it for what its worth . You won't be disappointed . read more

How come not one yelper has not commented on their consistent skeleton crew? Came here years ago with my girlfriend on a Friday afternoon, one waitress for the entire dining room which filled up quickly. We needed more tartar, another drink but waitress running away so quickly, it was impossible to get our request in. Times haven't changed much since then. I've been there 2 times in the past 2 months. Both the same sad story. This place is cranking on a Saturday night...trying to get a drink here is like climbing Mount Everest...a nearly impossible feat. My friend saw me and said, good luck getting a drink. She waited 14 min for a drink, as she saw bartenders doing shots with their customers. I stood at the extremely busy, understaffed bar, 8 min for a drink. Neither the bartender nor the barback ever even glanced up to make eye contact with me to see why I was standing there waiting...it wasn't to ask them what their sign is. I just walked out the door & left. Place is an absolute turn off. If you are going to have a booming bar business, similar to a night club downtown, staff appropriately. Or at least have a speedy bartender that can get the job done! read more

The restaurant has a cool, rustic feel. The Ale House has a good beer selection. The beer that they make on site is not very good. The food quality is lacking (for example, fake cheese on the nachos, frozen pre-made pizza crust, etc.). read more

Ebenezer Ale House is a hometown favorite. Great beer and food selection.

I wanted to give this place a second chance since last time I came in it was terrible. Unfortunately I can't say it has gotten any better. I noticed they have a new menu with weekly specials which seemed interesting to my partner and I. Before ordering our main entrees we decided to have the loaded fries. When they were first brought out to us the fries were cold as well as all of the toppings. We complained and the waitress nicely offered to get us new ones. The next order was better and included fresh fries. I noticed other tables around us also complained about their fries and were brought out new ones. For my entree I ordered the French Onion Burger and he ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken. The physical burger itself tasted burnt and had absolutely no flavor. It had a large dollop of French onion dip on it which was tasty and had an unnecessary amount of friend onion straws on top of it. The menu stated it would have caramelized onions on top so I was not expecting fried onions. The burger also had lettuce and tomato on it which didn't add anything to the burger. I would rate this burger 2/10. I would not recommend wasting your time with this special. The Nashville Hot Chicken was fine tasting but it was a very small amount of chicken. It came with 3 very small fried chicken strips which was disappointing. I would not recommend this place. read more

The best part about Ebenezer Ale House is the building. Today's service was inexcusably poor. It was not at all crowded during this lunchtime, a couple of people shooting the breeze at the bar, a four-top on the patio and a sprinkling of two-toppers. And us two. The server really could not have been slower to greet us, not that we were in a hurry. Let's say that it's best to avoid this place if you only have an hour for lunch! The server was just not that into serving. Instead of providing customer service, she was faintly put out at the inquiry of on-tap beer selections, and sauntered to the bar to fetch a printed piece for us to review (psst, there were not too many to discuss, this IS part of your job.) We ordered one red and one gold and were served by and by. We ordered very different meals, and again, a ghastly long wait. We were enjoying our conversation and all, but good grief. He tried the Sweet and Spicy Goat, a chuck steak burger with breaded jalapenos, sweet Asian chili sauce, goat cheese, on a buttered, grilled roll. It came with lettuce, tomato and onion, plus lots of (shiny) french fries. She had a house salad and French onion soup. Not one item was remarkable in any way. There were no take-home boxes necessary. The French onion soup was quite similar in taste to a canned variety, only with twice the salt. It came hot, which is good, with a thin layer of cheese melted atop, with very brown cheese bubbles glued to the side of the cup, burnt really. When the spoon broke the cheese seal, the cheese sprung into a glob and sank pitifully to the bottom of the cup. The salad looked very nice, crisp croutons and tiny diced tomato pieces on top. One slice of cucumber was divided into four pieces, skimpy seeing as it's cuke season in WNY. He was truly unimpressed with his meal. We did order a second beer and after some time, were told something about the CO2 tank needed replacing and the manager was on the way. Hmmm. She turned heel and 30 minutes later, returned to see if we still wanted that beer. Eventually, the server left the bill in the black billfold and returned mighty quickly, having obviously overcome her Tortoise Nervosa, and asked if she needed to bring us change. We both rolled our eyes at that; he said to himself, no, keep the change on that hundred. She didn't even know what was IN the billfold! People in food service, say this over and over until it is branded in your mind: I will be right back with this! (IF you do NOT need to come back, trust us diners, we will let you know.) Never ask if you need change, tsk, tsk. Cliche. Passé. Tacky. Ebenezer Ale House is a two thumbs down. I hope I can revise this review some time in the future, but before I do, some things have got to change. Two stars is generous, for the building and the beer. This place has SO much potential, it's in a neat building, has a great bar, lots of seating, many windows, tons of parking, a patio. So this is your wake-up call! Train your servers to pretend this is the ONE day in a YEAR that each party that enters your door eats out: make it special so they will come back. Also mention to your servers that everyone who enters Ebenezer Ale House may be an internet restaurant reviewer and you need to impress absolutely every person. Endear them so they write five-star positive reviews. read more

Went to this joint on a total whim for search of a local burger while in West Seneca and damn what a nice spot! It was Spring when I went to that sick back porch was not open yet due to the weather but looks like a place I want to be drinking a cold one this summer. More importantly I had a goat cheese jalapeno burger that knocked my damn socks off! I think those are the best experiences also when you go in with no expectations then BAM! That thing was dynamite.... and so was my date's. The sweet potato fries were awesome as well. I have only been here once so far but I will be sure to update my review when I return! read more

My favorite restaurant in the south towns! Hands down top 3 things on the menu are the mango peach wings, chicken quesadilla and the Mac n cheese. Blows everyone else out of the water. The outdoor patio is a great touch to expand the dining space. This is the place to be for Buffalo Sabres and Buffalo Bills games. read more

The Ale House has an excellent Brunch menu on Sundays. Went in and bought the loaded tater tots. It was my whole meal. It was eggs,bacon, peppers, and queso! It was outstanding! I will definitely be back. Price was good too. $3 mimosas! This might become our Sunday tradition! read more

I was just in town from Florida and was in the mood for some new and interesting beer choices. The EAH has a great selection of brews, many of them from local breweries. All of the food that our party had was great, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was fun. It will absolutely be on my list of places to visit the next time I am in the area, and would definitely be a great place to watch a game! read more

First off let me say, First two times at the Ale House, were great. I loved it, good food, drinks, and prices. Maybe service was the only beef I had but eh was fine. Third visit leads me to believe that the service part might be catching up to them. We visited over the weekend afternoon. Me and my guest went to the hostess station, and no one was there. While waiting someone from the kitchen notices us tells us oh, just seat yourself there is no hostess. Not even a sign. Now the food was not great but the thing that erked me was the filth on all the dishes, glasses had lip stick on them, and the mini pitches we full of grime. YUCK. Fix this, and I'll change my review. read more
