Great cafe!!! Great food. Lots of drink options. Friendly bartenders!!! I go here often with my girlfriends

Fish fry, grouper, and fries were mediocre at best, though the sides were delicious. Staff was nonexistent throughout the majority of our visit... just between 2 waitresses (more were working) we received attitude while being seated, were not given menus, given incorrect drinks (lemonade and sweet/iced tea), and overcharged due to apparent lack of caring and/or mathematical skills. The entire place was basically dead... so excuses can't be made. ZERO tip was given as ZERO service was provided that would justify any amount. read more

Just there a week ago and all 6 of us had great meals. The grouper is better and more reasonably priced than what we get in Florida!

Food was good. Huge servings. Many options to choose from, sandwiches, full dinner or just appetizers read more

We are from out of the area after a long day of driving I consulted Yelp. Mandy's had the best reviews and was close to the hotel. Well it was Fantastic! First, driving up, if I hadn't consulted Yelp I might not have thought to stop there. The look of the bar might be misleading. It's clean but it's no frills. But the menu... the menu deserves tablecloths. It is clever and unusual and most importantly delicious! We ordered the Shrimp Cargo, Hot Pepper Pancakes, Filet Sliders and Shrimp&Bacon quesadillas. The bartender also was the waitress and she was so sweet, patient and attentive. We had a lot of questions. Our food came quickly and was hot and perfectly prepared. We didn't stay long because it had been a full day. I am so pleased we went to Mandy's and if we are ever back through here again I look forward to trying it again. read more

These wings were fantastic. We got the barbecue, which were just amazing sweet and hot at the same time but luscious and just great and we also got some pizza which was kind of a mess so skip the pizza and stick with the wings. There's a lot of other stuff on the menu. I'll be back to try! read more

The food as always outstanding, the fish was delicious, the tuna mac salad was amazing! Now the service has totally turned around. Karen is still there & as kind as ever. Now the rest of the servers are top knoch! read more

This place is a hidden gem on Clinton Street in West Seneca. I hadn't been here in about 15 years. It looked so nice on the inside, although the floors were a bit sticky in the bathroom. Unfortunately, this place is CASH ONLY!!! Today was my Dad's 70th birthday though and he really wanted to come here. (My parents come here once a week when they run a $5 sandwich special.) My dad ordered a bowl of Manhattan Clam Chowder and my mom ordered a burger well done, which didn't come with fries or anything. I ordered a bowl of French onion soup and the shrimp and bacon quesadillas. I also ordered fries for the table. My mom had coffee. I had Diet Pepsi. My dad had ginger ale. I had never heard of shrimp and bacon quesadillas. They were really good. The waitress was really nice! They have a small tight parking lot but I'm really glad that I came here today. I'd gladly return. read more

I have enough for two more meals I think. My partner got filet sliders that were so tender and delicious..... the service was great. Our waitress was wonderful. Definitely will be going back here!! read more

Mandy's Cafe - Chicken fingers were so good. Came with fresh cut fries and portions were so large. - American Near Me - Buffalo, New York

My favorite part about this place is the draft beer is ice cold. Wings are decent. Fresh cut fries are great. Pleasantly surprised by the burger. Nice, big and juicy - cooked to perfection. The bar always seems to be bumping even on weekdays. Bartenders/waitresses are kind and quick on their feet. read more

Best shrimp dinner in town. As good as 'George & Eddies' was in the '50's and'60's. Beer battered , Crispy, or pan fried. Parking limited. read more

Neighborhood bar that is a little hidden gem food spot. Your typical run of the mill mixed drinks, bottles, and small selection of draft beers, but the service and food are the real stars here. Interior was redone several years back, cozy atmosphere with nicer finishes now. Been to eat here several times, this time got the stuffed pepper quesadilla. I could seriously eat that like 3x a week, it was awesome. Prices are super reasonable too, can't hate that. Great neighborhood bar! read more

Mandy's Cafe - Stuffed pepper quesadilla - American Near Me - Buffalo, New York

From the minute we walked in, we were greeted by a very friendly bartender, walked through the Bar area to the dining room, where the server could not have been more cheerful and accommodating. The food was excellent, most notably, the butternut squash soup, which was the best I have ever had. Something new on the menu called a Flight for $9.95, was three different soups on a board. Tis definitely soup season. I can't wait to go back to try their peppercakes and so much more. They just started a "buy ten meals, get one free," where you get a card that is checked off with each meal you purchase. It's a great neighborhood pub," in West Seneca but I will be driving from Williamsville, frequently. A hidden gem. One side note, cash only. read more

CASH ONLY!!! They do have an atm inside! The staff is always so friendly here. Answer questions willingly and offer recommendations- which I love! This place is awesome in the summer. There is a little fenced in private patio. They have live music Wed nights. The food is also amazing! Everyone loves the bourbon bites which are a tender piece of steak that comes with a dipping sauce. We also had their shrimp special appetizer- sooo good. Shrimp was cooked just right For lunch I ordered the special as well. It was basically a philly burrito- pressed. Best part was they put the sauce over the top! GENIUS! My sister ordered the banana pepper quesadilla. She said it was so good! It had a kick but not too hot. The orders do not come with a side. We split an order of fresh cut fries. Very good and just enough to feed 3. I will keep coming back here for sure! Just have to remember some cash. read more

This place is a local favorite. Not only is their food amazing, the service is top notch, and the owners are almost always there to ensure everything is running smoothly. They have a dart board, jukebox, popcorn, outdoor patio, large bar area, and dining area. The most recent time I was here was for a banquet, so we had the whole dining room to ourselves. They served salad with a ranch & creamy Italian dressing mix (so good), raviolis, broccoli pasta alfredo, and chicken parm. Everything was so good, we all had to go up for seconds! We stayed and hung out at the bar after, and even though it was busy, the bartenders were very attentive. We always love coming here and will always be back. Only downfall is that it's cash only, but they do have an ATM on site! read more

I go for the music But the food is great always have something to eat fun sitting outside under the umbrellas when it gets really hot would appreciate a fan faced not at the bar, but where people sit outside if it's really hot, I won't go back because it was too Hot. On a great night it is really great love Mandys's read more

50 cent wings on Mondays, but my entire party found them to be too dry. Also, the Cajun wings aren't a dry rub, but a Cajun hot sauce. Two kinds of fries are a bonus. I chose the crinkle cut and my friend got the fresh cut. Other favorites are the pepper cakes and the fried bologna sandwich with pepper cake on it. read more

So let's talk chicken fingers. Your normal order of chicken fingers is a pounded out chicken breast covered in breading and deep fried, often greasy and dried out, oh there are exceptions I'm not saying that there aren't good fingers out there but Mandy's has most of them beat. these chicken fingers are huge chunks of tender juicy white meat covered in a super crispy thin layer of goodness, served with hand-cut fries cooked until golden brown. People behind the bar are always friendly and prices are very reasonable. read more

Quaint corner bar with reasonable prices and diverse food choice's! Bar is friendly and outdoor dining is an option when the weather cooperates. Family run so they ensure service is top notch. CASH ONLY so visit the ATM before arriving, although an unbranded terminal is on site. read more

Very nice people working restaurant , we got there occasionally for a fish fry ... Parking could be very difficult on Friday for a fish fry ... go before 4 if possible ... Food pretty good , prices a tad high , but like everything else !!! Only thing that really upset me was I normally have a craft beer at $6 or so ... This time I just wanted iced tea , my wife had a 2beers , looked at bill was billed twice for iced tea , I said miss you billed me twice for my iced tea , was told we ate told to charge for every iced tea or soda ... now I get a 10oz iced tea 6oz filled with ice , got 2 which equates to 8oz. if iced tea for $6 and tax ... Believe me no cheapskate here , still left a $25% tip , but thought that was a little cheap and audacious to milk someone for a fountain drink , when the fish was $17 ... It's the principle , you really should not bill for each fountain drink !!! A simple thing like this would most likely not brink me back ! read more

I was debating between 3 and 4 stars, I'm going to go with 3 for one reason which I will explain below. Anyhow, it was beautiful day and we wanted to go out to someplace with patio dining. We settled on Mandy's after having a pretty good experience there in the winter. The patio itself is hidden by a fence when you drive by so you unless you have been here, you wouldn't know it was there. Which is fine because who wants to stare at traffic on Clinton St. when they are eating? There was a full size outdoor bar as well and our server was very efficient. I decided on a breaded fish fry and my wife chose the beer battered fish fry. The strange thing about this was that they brought out the pasta salad and coleslaw before the fish fry. That in itself was not a problem, but they were both served at what seemed like room temperature. I was reluctant to eat food containing mayo that was not properly chilled or refrigerated, especially outdoors on a hot summer day. The salads were homemade, and would have been very good if adequately chilled, but I could not finish them for fear of getting sick. I deducted a star in my rating for this reason. But the fish fries were both excellent. The haddock was flaky and moist. My breaded batter had just the right amount of crunch. The hand cut fries were also very good, although I felt that we had the bottom of the batch because the ones we had were kind of broken into small pieces. But the flavor of the fries was very good. I know that we will be back but I hope that the lack of refrigeration of the side salads was an anomaly. The prices are very reasonable. read more

My favorite "hole in the wall" bar. The staff are hilarious, and the owner Mary is amazing. The food is out of this world! The hot pepper cakes are an original/one of a kind and a must order. The drinks are unbelievable cheap and you can literally spend all night there for a cheap night. I enjoy the touch tunes and everyone is pretty cool about giving turns and they play a good mix of music. I've been on the patio which was a nice hangout on a warm summer night. I visit this bar quite often, and will definitely continue to visit! read more

Love this place. First experience was for a baby shower. Food was outstanding. Pork chops, pasta, mashed potatoes, salad and lots more. The hostess/server Karen was absolutely the best. Could not ask for any one more friendly, exciting and accomodating. Fast forward....I have been back there 4 times since (and it's a 20/25 min ride from home). We were so fortunate to meet the proprietor, Mary. She is the best!! She made it s point to say hello to us and chat for a bit. That is pure hospitality that doesn't exist at too many places anymore. But, then again, Mandy's has been around for 30+years. This is a real hidden gem and very unassuming when driving by. But do yourself a favor and stop inside to give it a try. YOU WON'T BE SORRY! read more

Do NOT come here if the emo looking guy is behind the bar. I came here Saturday with my boyfriend and had the worst experience ever. It took so long to get our drinks... it seemed like he was more occupied with taking shots with his friends. Super sad because we used to love coming here. Will not be returning. read more

We live down the street from Mandy's and enjoy coming here in the summer time. We have been here many times in the past. They have a nice outdoor patio with a bar. Today we were able to enjoy the sunshine and patio! The only reason I'm rating Mandy's a 3 is for two reasons. One, I had ordered an EBC blueberry beer, and received an IPA. I drank it anyway although I don't care for IPA's. Another reason I'm rating Mandy's a 3 is because once we received menus, they had a pretty decent wing option list. My boyfriend wanted to order the garlic Parmesan wings, just to find out that they did not serve wings on Friday's because they have the fish fry instead. This was not stated on the menu so he was disappointed. (Although the fish fry here is good!) We ended up sharing the Shrimp dinner which worked out fine because it was a large dish. Overall, we will absolutely be returning to Mandy's and it's worth checking out if you're in the West Seneca area! read more

Food is the best. Bartenders are accommodating. Try to get their Reubens in March!!!!

Outstanding home cooked dinners. Always get the breaded haddock and pepper cakes. Great and efficient service too.

This is the nosiest bar and restaurant that you will ever be in. I don't mind loud, but this is deafening. Really. You cannot hear yourself talk in the bar area while waiting for a table. Low ceiling and no sound buffers to deaden the unreal loudness of the place. Once in the restaurant, it is not much better on how loud this place is. Everyone seems to be shouting while talking and it is like being at a NFL football game while trying to eat and talk. Food was good and service OK. Would not go there again (visited twice) due to uncomfortable noise level. read more

Omg the food was amazing it took me today's to finish the the Italian sausage hogie yummy & the hot pepper cake are to die for.... Everyone was so nice I can't wait to stop again Note it's cash only but they do have a atm! read more

An unexpected find! We were initially unimpressed with the menu as it seemed a little basic. We also saw once we sat down it was cash only which caused us to slightly panic wondering if we actually had cash. My partner got the cowboy burger while I got the homemade chicken strips with hand cut fries. I was a little surprised the burger didn't come with a side but my chicken fingers came with half of an entire platter so there was easily enough for the two of us. The burger was handmade; thick and juicy with a delicious homemade looking bun. My chicken strips were juicy with just the right amount of breading. The portions were HUGE! My partner and I could have easily split the platter. Overall a great value with delicious food. Service was really friendly too! My only recommendation is to maybe put a sign on the inside door about the cash only? Although this place seems to be a local favorite so I am sure the regulars know the deal. read more

This small place is the hidden gem in West Seneca and known well by the locals. Everyone knows everyone at this place and it makes for a very friendly, fun and laid back dining experience. The food is comfort/traditional local favorites and prepared perfectly. The beef on weck and chicken wings are in a class of their own! Just remember that it's cash only (no credit cards) but they do have an ATM in the bar area. read more
