    Rustifico
    Arlene L.

    Though we're members of the Mug Club, we haven't been here in a bit. Always great here. Rustifico Mexican Lager for me and Tropical Vapor Rocket for my husband with a pretzel for a snack. Perfect way to end the work week. Staff is always great. You're greeted like they've known you forever. Love the rustic decor.

    Harvest Host over night at the Rusty Nickel Brewery in West Seneca NY. Really enjoyed their Tropical Vapor Rocket IPA!! Rusty Nickel Brewing Co is a proud NYS Farm Brewery, crafting locally sourced beer and cider since it opened in 2015. The brewery has been awarded for several of its staple beers and has won multiple awards for each of their unique bloody marys. The Tasting Room provides a very comfortable, cabin-in-the-woods feel, with views of the brewery. The full bar features NYS spirits, wine, mead, and cider. Coined by many as a 'hidden gem', Rusty Nickel is nestled in the picturesque, wooded landscape of West Seneca, NY. The brewery's expansive outdoor space boasts one of WNY's most beautiful biergartens, a heated patio, and the perfect place to host any event. This family-friendly brewery with a focus on supporting local is a great place for great food and beverage while offering games, a fire pit to hang and make s'mores, and dozens of fun events year round.

    Keep in mind that the Rusty Nickel is a very rustic facility. If you like nature, this place is for you. In fact, a deer was grazing on the hill not 30 feet away from our table. The food menu is very limited but the beer was tasty. We had a reservation but couldn't find any staff members when we arrived so we just seated ourselves.

    Stopped by when we were traveling around Buffalo. Great staff. Super friendly and helpful when selecting beer. Definitely will be back when traveling through Buffalo again.

    Teddy and Joe, just a couple of fun guys serving beer.

    This was our first visit to Rusty Nickel Brewing Company and definitely won't be our last. The vibe is very relaxed and welcoming. The beer menu is quite diverse with multiple offerings in each category. The beer was very good and well brewed. There were three bartenders working and we received excellent service. We were able to taste a small sample of the beer before ordering a full pint. I loved The Half Slice Orange Vanilla, which tasted like a creamsicle. My husband's favorite was the I Remember, Buffalo. It was a great experience and a fun afternoon.

    Three of us stopped here after lunch at the Ebenezer Ale House. I was in the mood for something dessert-y/after dinner drink-ish, so I went with the Cafe Mocha Latte Nitro. I'm no beer expert, but I do love coffee and chocolate, so I did enjoy this. I like the creaminess of a nitro, and it also seems to bring out more sweetness. Their website claims "something for every taste", and that's true: beer (draft, bottles, cans), wine, cocktails, seltzers, ciders, mead. If you can't find a beverage that suits your fancy, that's on you. The atmosphere inside and out is fun and funky. The best part of our visit was sitting outside on a beautiful fall day, just relaxing and sipping a cold one.

    Nice place! Great outdoor patio and back yard area, also offered board games and outdoor games. Food menu was small but great pricing for what you get! Good drink menu as well. Got a charcuterie board for $12 and was impressed with all the food on the board!

    Cute patio

    Awesome beer and major vibes! Loved the seasonal decor on the patio and the hazy ipa was so bomb!

    Partial flight including cream ale, mead, and a stout

    Stopped here after visiting Niagara Falls. They have a nice selection of brews, and heated/covered outdoor space. No food available, but a restaurant next door

    I was so happy to stop by today and see Ted behind the bar. A Buffalo legend! So, obviously the service was the best in wny! There is a great selection of varieties of beers on tap, and with our group of 10, we tried a lot of them. I had the seltzer and the orange cream ale. Both are fantastic! Love the beer garden out back. There is a coy pond, gorgeous flowers, tons of patio furniture, and I'm told it is dog friendly too. Cheers!

    Lazy day stop for a few cold ones and some grub courtesy of Yankee bbq. Had a chance to try the bomb pop inspired blue raspberry, cherry, lime sour and a great session IPA. We were welcomed immediately by staff, she helped to decide on our beer choices with friendly input from who I assumed to be a regular at the bar. Since it was a bit small inside we opted to go outdoors. The space was very nice! It was raining this day but the covered patio was spacious and dry! We lucked out to have the Yankee Bbq food truck on-site. Loganberry glazed pool burnt ends and brisket nachos really made the visit complete.

    Great outdoor patio area and a nice selection of drast beer. Also have cans to go.

    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!

    I loved the outdoor space! It was perfect for our group, which tends to be on the louder side. The…read moreonly downside was that it was a little difficult to get the bartenders' attention at times. I told myself I was going to try something new since they have great happy hour specials from 4-6 PM on weekdays, but I couldn't resist the Everything Wedge Salad. No regrets, it was delicious. One of our friends brought her puppy and was thrilled to discover they have a dog menu. Such a cute touch! Overall, it's a great spot for groups, with a fun atmosphere, plenty of outdoor space, and solid food. No complaints here!

Was windy so they put the fire pit on, after 15 we asked to turn it off because it was too hot. We had to go up to the bar & order, flights are not served outside. We had apps....pretzel with spicy mustard, queso & pub sauce, boom boom shrimp, fried pickles with jalapeño ranch dipping sauce, & lobster eggrolls with jalapeño ranch dipping sauce. The apps were all real good but so filling we barely touched our meal. I ordered off the summer menu, Yellowstone campfire plate. It came with beef brisket, bbq chicken, baked beans, Mac& cheese and French fries. What I nibbled on was really good but unfortunately in all the confusion never took the leftovers.

Food: 0/10 Alright this is the third time I've come to this location. I'm trying to be fair but the bad food is consistent. For instance tonight I got the "campfire" plate which was fries, Mac and cheese, chicken, and brisket. Fries? Too hot to eat first. Mac and cheese? Literally colder than room temp and DRY! No cheese...like cold dry noodles? The brisket was slimy and small portion sized, the chicken was fine I guess. Everything else was so gross though by the time I got to the chicken I didn't care. I've come every time with my family of 4, and all 3 experiences were the same. I wish the food was anything but what it is because I'd love to come back here. I'll never recommend it and I'm actually just going to give away my $100 gift card to anyone who wants to dare to eat here.

Did we eat too much? Yes! Yes, we did, and it was so good, too! My husband ordered the small piggy burger, and the fries with cheese and bacon. The thick cut strips of bacon over the cheese were outstanding, and the bacon cheeseburger was excellent. The lettuce was crisp and the tomato slice was ripe. We also ordered two classic burgers and two orders of regular fries (we have a teenager at home); I loved the dill pickles in that burger! The burger was juicy and flavorful! It took about 25 minutes for the order to be ready, but we were the first customers, and everything is cooked to order. Where does the bar's name come from? The owner has two daughters: One is nicknamed, "Shalooby", and the other, "Loofer". 6/27/26 was the first day they were serving lemonade! My husband had a pilsner he adored. Lots of people around us were coming outside with flights of beer in every shade of the brewery rainbow. There's no mistaking a blueberry ale! Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the backyard: There's a courtesy water bowl for the beasties. There's a single unisex bathroom for the entire bar and patio. At peak times, there may be a line. Parking on the street. There's an adjacent Farmer's Market with additional parking (in the evenings only).
