The service was great! My waiter was very nice. The ambiance more like 1960s I think very cool! The food was delicious, I just wasn't crazy about the home fries, but I ordered a big breakfast and the pancakes were so yummy!... I'll definitely come back and bring some friends. read more

Excellent food quality friendly owner & waitresses. This place has been around for a long time & It's great to return back to it!

I struggled with rating this one. If I was to have simply ordered takeout and had it delivered, I would have given a solid 5. Because I walked in to order takeout, that's how the 4 arrived. Didn't have to wait long but there long enough to say that the place needs a very serious cleaning. Actually surprised it didn't have violations. The bathroom was so gross. Despite all of this, I still chose to eat the salad that was actually well cooked and nicely seasoned. Thankfully, it seems that all the dust and grime stayed away from my food and I am still here to talk about it. read more

Seneca Towne Restaurant - Open chicken Souvlaki - Greek Near Me - Buffalo, New York

The best chicken souvakie in Buffalo. Tender and flavorful chicken, plenty of feta and fresh veggies. It was a large enough portion for me to have leftovers for dinner the next day. Quick and friendly service. read more

The best chicken souvlaki I've had in a very long time. The chicken was very tender and seasoned well. It had a great flavor. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. They were generous with the feta. The portion was large enough for me to have leftovers for dinner tomorrow. I found the server to be friendly and attentive. I didn't use the restroom, but where I saw was clean. The decor wasn't fancy, which was fine. I will be back; especially for the best chicken souvlaki, I think, in western New York. read more

Pretty average breakfast. I got take out and spent about $17 on 2 meals. Both were cheese omelettes with hash browns and toast. The omelette was amazing and very cheesy. That alone I would give 5/5. I was not impressed with the potatoes. It was like they boiled potatoes and just smashed them up instead of dicing and drying. Overall not bad though if you're hungry and in the area! read more

Seneca Towne Restaurant - Cheese omelette - Greek Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Best rice pudding ever. We have visited here for it since we were kids, and it never disappoints. Lemon/rice soup was delicious too! Great owners. read more

If it were a a lingerie store, it'd be Seeknickers Towne. If it were a strip club, it'd be Seeknockers Towne. And if it were a graveyard full of voyeurs watching immoral horny people doing bad deeds with lifeless partners, it'd be Seenecrophelia Towne. Thankfully (or not?) it's not. What to get: Chicken Souvlaki, Choc Shake. What else: anything. So they still have excellent Souvlaki after all these years and I still enjoy coming here for my Chicken Souvlaki fix when I'm in this area. Buffalo has some of the best Souvlaki in the whole country so I highly recommend stopping by and giving it a try when you are in these parts. My original review had more detail: If it were a purveyor of candy, it'd be Snickers Towne. A grossly underrated restaurant in a grossly underrated category. We casually give G-A Diners 1-4 stars without realizing how great & uniquely WNY they are, with high standards of deliciousness, portion size and (usually) pricing. If the chicken was actually bloodily sacrificed in front of the customers, it'd be Santeria Towne. Venture elsewhere and diners have lesser standards. G-A is not the norm, as in Buffalo. Where they exist, they're different & inferior. Dry chicken. No oil. Pre-cooked Gyro. As for WNY Chocolate Shakes: huge sizes, creamy, luscious. Not so much in other regions. If it were a dead racing driver, it'd be Ayrton Senna Towne. Cherish them while you can. Many won't last. Embassy & Sala are long gone, now Spilios too. One day it'll all be tasteless bland corporate monstrosities like Olive Garden, Denny's, or trendy overpriced overhyped flavourless Greek like Pano's or Zoe (sorry). If it were a gas station, it'd be Sunoco Towne. Enough rambling. Come (that's what she said) try Seneca Towne. One of so many great Greek-American WNY diners. Just because we have so many, doesn't mean they're worth less. They're worth more, because we're blessed with so many, thus they help define the region, they're our culinary identity, what makes us special. It'll take more effort to keep these places in business than the "in vogue" hipster spots. But they deserve it. Cheaper - and better. If it were full of sarcastic people, it'd be Snideremark Towne. I got the Chicken Souvlaki Dinner: a mountain of delicious juicy chicken, Greek-sautéed for days, a bottle of oil in case you want more sautée, hot, wet Greek potatoes, & a lovely, enormous, feta-covered Greek salad. Fresh, wet, basic, hits the salad spot. Feta quality good. Pita bread too. If it were owned by a former Steeler (serving Roethlisbergers), it'd be Seneca Wallace Towne. My friend got a Gyro Omelet with Feta. It wasn't as wet as we like it, but still good. Gyro meat: excellent. Buffalo-style Gyro (chopped spiced meat patties), juicy, full of flavour. Toast: very good. Buttery, fluffy, yum. Not the stellar homemade level of Nick's but still excellent. If it were full of sexy tiny fake tanned girls, it'd be Snooki Towne. I also got a chocolate shake. Excellent. One of the better shakes in town, I would say. Cloudy, thick, creamy and milky. It was enough for two. They brought the metal tin so I had extra shake when done with the cup full. So essentially, like many hard drugs have done, they gave me the shakes. If it were owned by Kermit, it'd be Sesame St Towne. Actually, if it were on Sesame St, it'd be Snuffleupagus Towne. Which sounds like Snooki'llf*ckus, which would be (a) inappropriate for Sesame St, and (b) way better than anything ever on Sesame St. It's out in West Seneca. Sometimes packed, sometimes not. Owners commented that it was usually dead. Open until 9pm each night, so it's good for all three meals. Or four. Or seven & a half. Are we still talking about meals? If it were full of deep sea divers (no, not a figurative sexual reference, I'm above such things), it'd be Snorkellers Towne. Service: excellent, prices: affordable. Some of the best G-A in town. It's hard to penetrate (ahem) the top 10 G-A places in Buffalo, even harder (like me) to penetrate (cough cough) the top 5. But this place did it effortlessly. If you're someone that routinely rates every G-A place in town 2 or 3, you may not like it despite its high standards. Perhaps you don't appreciate how good we have it in WNY And if it were full of old people that can't remember which government building they bombed in the 60s (as retribution for a local forest being felled), it'd be Senile-eco-terrorist Towne. But it's not. Now, does anybody want to do Greek with me? read more

I remember this being one of my mom's favorite restaurants when I was a kid. She knew servers by name and they knew her. I had not been here in many years. It's located directly across the street from West Seneca West high school. We arrived around 9:30am on a Thursday, we were the only patrons at that time. When we came through the door, we were instructed to select from the menu hanging on the wall in the entry, and sit where we liked in the front of the restaurant. One other couple came in during our visit, it seemed like the server knew them, because she spent quite a bit of time chatting with them about houses and taxes. I asked hubs to order me an omelette, and stepped away to the ladies room. First thing I noticed upon entering the restroom, was that it was so dirty. The sink, the walls, the floor, everything was so visibly dirty, the way that you'd imagine the dirtiest gas station bathroom on the side of a West Virginia highway, except that it's in a restaurant, in West Seneca. This whole place could really use a good cleaning. Every booth had crumbs and salt on the seats, the floors were dingy, the walls were splattered with crud. I am giving 3 stars because the food was decent. I'm just glad I couldn't see the kitchen. read more

Finally stopped in and tried Seneca Towne in West Seneca. It's your run of the mill, kinda outdated Greek style family diner. Gotta say the food was spot on. Had the Gyro Dinner, also the Chicken souvlaki dinner. Both were really good, the lamb was slightly dry, but everything was still great. Great friendly service too. Would definitely come back and try more. read more

Use to love going to the Towne Restaurant, when visiting Buffalo. The last time my husband and I went, we got up and left. They were out of coffee and couldn't make any because they didn't have any grounds. We ordered beef souvlaki sandwiches but they didn't have any pitas to make them and didn't know if they'd be getting any. The owner was the one taking orders, making the food, and cleaning the table. The place was filthy. We will never step foot in there again. It was so sad. read more

As others on Yelp have stated, the Seneca Towne Restaurant has been around forever in West Seneca. My wife and I have been coming here every time we're back in the 716 for 22+ years. She is not a Buffalo native and this is by far her go to place at least twice when we're here. We even took our entire out of town wedding party here after our rehearsal dinner. Our favorite is the open face Chicken Souvlaki and it NEVER EVER disappoints. The marinade on the chicken is spot on, the salad is fresh and the portion is large for the price. The Greek dressing is to die. The pitas are always cooked perfect and adding French fries is the way to go. You always go home with leftovers. Best thing on the menu by far. This past time I tried the daily special called the Towne Burger and it was huge and tasty. The waitress was late and the cook came and took our order and he was super nice and even checked up to see if the food tasted good and we were happy with our meal. The restaurant itself is in need of updating...like Robert Irvine updating but once you eat the food you forget all of the blemishes and age. Sure if they put some money in a facelift it would be nicer. read more

Love this place. It's pretty much a landmark after all these years operating. I usually just go there for breakfast. Super fast and prices, portions and service is great! Towne Omelet with Texas sauce is my fave... read more

I keep going back. Freshest Thanksgiving-esc turkey on Mondays. Souvlakis fit for a Greek god. Daily specials to keep you full all day. My grandma also told me that the staff help her get in the restaurant from the parking lot. So not only will you feel good eating here by supporting a local business but you can dine knowing they helped my elderly grandma. read more

BEST Chicken Souvlaki I've ever had!!! The meat is so darn juicy and well marinated that I dream about it. Salad is fresh. Feta is tangy and heaping. Definitely my favorite. DH loves the Gyro which is tender and savory. A very good cut of lamb, marinated and grilled. Tons of cheese and love. Fries with Pork Gravy...yum. Breakfast is good here too. Greek omletes, homefries and toast. Good home-style dinner specials - cheap! Menu is very basic. Grilled cheese, ham and cheese, BLT, etc. Parking lot is big, no problems ever. Not a wait usually. It's a diner, nothing fancy. Booths, a counter, open grill to watch them cook. It hasn't changed in decades, so it's a bit run down, but, great for timewarping. Good service. Easy and pleasant dining experience. read more

Seneca Towne has been a staple in West Seneca for as long as I can remember. The spanakopita is nice and crispy. The chicken souvlaki is also very nice. I have gone here for years and never thought of reviewing them because it never comes to mind until after you go and eat and then you think, I'll do it later. I am really doing it later this time we ate at the Seneca Towne yesterday but they are getting a review today. Procrastination can have a sweet point to it, I guess. The truth is this Seneca Towne has many menu items that have remained consistent since I was a child. All the Greek items on the menu are consistent and always generous. I ordered the chicken souvlaki and my wife order the beef souvlaki. I only took pictures of the dining room and spanakopita before we tore into our entrees. So you would have been just staring at a plate and a empty coffee mug. The waitress is awesome at what she does, she smiles and has a great personality for customer service. This appears to be a dying art especially in new restaurants where the buzz doesn't fulfill the anticipation. Our entrees came to the table quickly and our waitress must have came to the table at least 6 times to ask if we wanted refills on coffee. So if you want to crush a Greek style omelette, smash down some hash browns this could be your place for good food at a fair price. read more

Had take out today with my daughter. Ordered the chicken souvlaki dinner with Greek potatoes. Wow. For anyone who has read my other reviews you know that I am not a fan of animal protein, other than raw beef. Ordered the chicken because I presumed that some other family member would ingest it and I would be cool with the veggie part. I was, and started passing some chicken pieces to my faithful Sphynx cat and realised this chicken smelled really good. It also was moist, not in a greasy kind of way. I tried it and it was sensational. A whole chicken breast, marinated and grilled to perfection. No, I still will not willingly order chicken however this chicken dish was exceptional. The side for my souvlaki, the potatoes, far surpassed any other Greek potatoes I have ever had. Not pre-fab. Freshly peeled, waxy potatoes with a nice lemony roasting brine. Other herbs added and appreciated. I like this place and can say the only issue that I have with them is their hours. They were open 24/7 when I first moved here. Great for late night/early morning visits. Then the hours changed to 24/7 only on the weekends. Now it's 7am to 8 or 9pm daily. I guess I will need to deal with this major transgression. read more

Positive first-lots of seating, super clean, incredibly friendly staff. I got the triple decker sandwich (wanted turkey, but they only have that on Monday. Got ham.) Huge portion, massive pile of fries. My kids each got the kids fingers and fries and neither of them were able to finish. Bonus lunch for tomorrow! The food was so tasty, the water crisp and cold. However(you knew this was coming). It's Saturday evening and there is one cook and one Waitress . Needless to say, service was incredibly slow. From ordering, to receiving food, to check out. But honestly? Total worth it for the delicious huge portion and the wonderful service. read more

I read all the good reviews so I stopped after work today since I pass this place every day. I ordered a chicken souvlaki the sign outside reads "buffalo's best" so, it must be true..right? No. After I ordered I sat down at the counter and waited. While I was waiting I started to look around and noticed how dirty this place was. There is a window around the grill area which you can hardly see through due to all the dried up grease and whatever else has dripped down the glass over the last 10 years. The floor could really use a good sweep, not only for the crumbs but the dead flies and such also. The cash register was right next to me which was coated with dust and filth on the side from years of dirty hands being on it. Wallpaper was hanging from the ceiling and cobwebs over the grill top. By now i am second guessing my decision to stop in but I already ordered so I wasn't going to leave. The souvlaki was average at best, a lot of white, or as I call it, ass lettuce in the salad and one pepperoncini. The lettuce wasn't really crispy and waaay too much feta. If it's that bad on customer side, I don't want to think what the back of the house looks like. Sorry but for me to even go near this place again, I would need to see a cleaning company spend some serious time in there. read more

Great Chicken Souvlaki's. I call ahead and pick up only. Inside needs to be redone- but still a staple in this town.

Best greek food in wny! Rice pudding is great but the chicken soulvaki is amazing. Very reasonably priced, good for the whole family.

I don't know what the rest of the food is like, but my mushroom omelet was terrible, and the potatoes were worse. The omelet was bland, overcooked, and it was just eggs folded over canned mushrooms. The potatoes were just as bland - just cooked potatoes sitting in oil with little to no seasoning. Sure, it's cheap - and the staff is friendly. But I can not recommend this place to anyone as long as the food is this yuck. read more

Took my grandmother for breakfast. As we walked in the door the first thing she said was "they don't keep it very clean do they?". For a Sunday morning it was pretty dead, and now I know why. We never should have stayed. The table was sticky underneath. That's build up, not just a poorly wiped table. The waitress was friendly, but spent most of her time sitting at another table visiting with other customers. I ordered a breakfast wrap, which was ok. Gram had pancakes, and hubby had ham and eggs. the ham was a couple slices of deli ham, not the ham steak he expected. All eating stopped when he found a hair in his food. The waitress apologized and comped part of his meal, but this place is just dirty. We will not be going back there again. read more

Great neighborhood diner. Friendly staff food is excellent prices are good. I recommend the chicken souvlaki, kids love the breakfast food.

The Towne is a classic Greek diner with a singularly Buffalo, small town feel. Breakfast options are plentiful, ranging from your typical 2 eggs, 2 bacon, home-fries & toast fare to the superb Gyro breakfast. The Greek house dressing is great, as is the friendly, frank service that hearkens back to another era. If ever you find yourself in West Seneca looking for a meal that transcends the unassuming environment, look no further than the Towne. Great for families and groups, although be prepared to know the tip ahead of time if using a credit card. read more

Although it's been a couple of months since we've been there, I was disgusted by the sticky floors, dirty tables, dust on all the chachki's and ripped banquets made the place look horrible. The food was.. well it was edible but barely. We haven't been back and won't. If they want to generate more business they need to clean, paint, and fix things up because it looks old and outdated and scuzzy! read more
