Mandy's Cafe — Restaurant in Town of West Seneca

In the area and wanted to find somewhere with good reviews, but that we have never been to. That brought us to Mandy's Cafe.

The exterior is typical for your local neighbor hood restaurant / pub. The cafe entrance to the dining area is on the left hand side. We were there early (opens at 4), so we peaked around the corner into the bar area (front of the building), where we were greeted and seated.

The dining space seems to have been touched up and was generally comfortable. The glow of the fireplace and table top candles (not real) added to the ambiance. The exterior door could use some paint on the inside, but we were there for the food.

The menu was pretty extensive and this is where Mandy's really stands above most. The quality of the food is really good. Portions are favorable and many of the items are "home made". The chicken tenders are handmade in house with real chicken breast and lite breading. They have hand cut fries which are small, crispy and yummy. The chicken quesadilla was one of the best we ever had. And where else can you get a $2.75 slice of cheesecake with cherries.

The pricing is fair, service was above average and the dining experience was overall enjoyable. We will return, as Mandy's appears to care about quality and value. Be sure to bring cash as no credit cards accepted (ATM on site).

UPDATE 1 :. Stopped in a second time, but was busy so sat in the bar, with the bonus of catching the Sabres game. Friendly service and tasty food again. Consistent. Plus they had free popcorn (yum). There are nights with specials $.50 wings etc.. Posted updated pics of bar and specials board.

UPDATE 2: Enjoyed another great meal. We like stopping here when in the area. Bathrooms could use some work, but again the food is fresh and like home cooking (or better). Casey our server was genuine and very nice. Efficient and quick. The fresh cut fries are thin and delicious. Great portion sizes.

UPDATE: We were in the area again and wanted to dine outside. We were unaware that Mandy's has outdoor seating and a small outdoor bar too. The service was top notch, the portions are still amazing and attractively priced. Home made fingers that are the size of a fish fry lol. Fresh cut fries are tasty. And the char BBQ wings are pretty good (sauce on the sweeter...

Booked a shower for my son a year in advanced. When I stopped in to find out months later if my check was received cause it was not cashed, I never spoke to the owner who was sitting at the bar. She sent the waitress over to answer my questions. We stopped in about 2 months before the shower to speak to someone about how it will be set up so I knew how many centerpieces I would need, what I need as far as decorations and other last minute things. Owner not there So left a message to call us. Two weeks go by, no return call. My sister in law called and left another message, no call back. They are never there either when you call. Always have to leave a message. We decided if this is the service we get How can we guarantee we will have a shower when we get there on the date so we booked it at another venue. My sister in law called again a few weeks later with a rather abrupt message hoping to get a call finally. We did get a call the next day and we then told her we went elsewhere. Her comment to us was " you booked this a year away". What does that have to do with it???? My shower was 4 weeks away and I have questions So I can get things on our end. So glad I went elsewhere. The other place the food was wonderful and the customer service was A+. Always called back within minutes if they were not there but most times they were always there to answer the phone. Will never return...

Went here for dinner with my husband on a Friday night and the food was not good. First my husband tried to order chicken wings and was told they weren’t serving wings until after 9pm…..which was weird. I ordered the homemade chicken fingers and my husband ordered the fish fry. The chicken fingers would have been great if there was any seasoning. It was literally chicken coated in panko bread crumbs and fried. They were so bland. My husband’s fish fry was wet and squishy. He ordered beer battered and it was not crispy at all. He couldn’t even finish it. The waitress noticed and took it off of our bill. Very much appreciated. My husband has been here before eating at the bar and said that it’s always been good. So maybe it was just an off night for the kitchen? Idk. But season those chicken...
