Ebenezer’s Ale House

While to some, Ebenezer’s Ale House might have approval from Scrooge, with its 20 different micro beers on tap, pub style food, and sparse decor; we are not so sure Marley would approve.

With waterfront seating, live bands, and a gorgeous view of the Naval ships; this restaurant should be top notch. The atmosphere has a rustic industrial charm to it and the wrap […]

When eating healthy disappoints (GF)

While I am all for eating as healthy as I possibly can, there are moments when I wish I ordered the greasiest thing on the menu when compared to what is in front of me. Poppyseed restaurant on Mckinley Parkway in Hamburg NY has been family run since 2000. The invitation to “bring the kiddies” […]
