The Seneca

Good smash burger, even better fries!They also had some creative N/A cocktails on the menu. I got a very spicy and refreshing N/A margarita. Highly recommend! Large screens for viewing your sports game of choice. While we were there, they were playing the Islanders game.

People sleep on this place, but best smash burger in NYC. Service is ok I guess, but then again it is more of a bar than a restaurant. Go on a Sunday during the afternoon for a chill vibe, good burger, and a cold beer.

The Seneca is a cozy, old fashioned bar that transports you back to the 70s in the most comforting way. The food is tasty bar-fare and they had amazing specials for Fall (I tried literally all of them). The Oktoberfest brat paired with the Maple Old Fashioned and Vegan Pumpkin Soup were the perfect cures for a rainy fall day! Even with a packed restaurant, service was quick and friendly. If you want a friendly neighborhood bar I couldn't suggest this one more!

This place is good time to hang out with your friends and catch up! The ambiance is nice and dark, kind of like a darker lounge but also a very casual place. It is self seat so just find any seats open and sit down! My other two friends and I came on a Sunday night and there weren't as many workers so service was a bit slow/not super friendly and welcoming. We each ordered the Seneca single patty ($11 each) which is similar to a smashburger, ordered a tray of fries ($9), sesame salad ($13?). My friend also ordered a beer - total came out to be $78 with tip.My favorite was the salad which complimented the burger really well because there were no veggies in the burger except for one pickle. The fries were shoe string fries but my personal preference is the thicker type. I would probably come back here again fro the salad and maybe grab a beer next time as well! FYI, there are pool night tournaments that start at 8pm with a cash prize of $50 (I believe that is what I read). They also have board games so it's fun to just hang out there.

Went here for a birthday party and had a good time! I had a burger and fries and they were soooo good. They're thin like a smash burger and thats my favourite! The cheese and sauce were perfect. The ones we had were smaller, so I definitely could have eaten like 5 of them. The fries were good, too. Thin and crunchy. It wasn't too busy since it was during the afternoon, but the wait at the bar was still long. I got the cucumber gin drink and it was pretty tasty. The ambiance was nice, but again I was here during the day. It was pretty chill, low key. Not sure what the vibe would be at night. If I were in Ridgewood again I'd def stop by for another burger.

Looking for a great brunch spot in Ridgewood? Look no further...The Seneca is here to save the day with a bar flare. I ordered the little Seneca burger and added a fried egg. The comeback sauce was delish and it reminded me of McDonalds Big Mac sauce (but better). The drip coffee was presented in a beautiful cup, which is always appreciated. I'm hoping next time they have Almond Milk has a choice, however Oat was acceptable! I also loved the ambiance inside and out. The service was good and great vibes by all. The futebol (soccer) game on TV reminded me of my younger years watching it with my Dad.

Truly amazing food and unique drinks. Honestly the owner is obviously quite in control of their shit.

To start off the website shows a brunch menu but didn't offer any brunch until NEXT MONTH!When i made the reservation i specially asked for a high chair for my infant which they assured but when we got there i was offered an unsecure contraption that wasn't even for the table that we had. Service was underwhelming at best, and the food i was extremely bland! Would definitely not recommend this place.

The staff just get worse, I have gave this place multiple chances, to turn it around! Worst bar in the neighborhood, not for food and drinks, but for service! I never once seen a manager around or owner, what a waste of time, no wonder the staff don't know what they are doing! Won't be back!

Got served a raw chicken sandwich. Put a nauseating, frightening twist on an otherwise nice night. The chef needs a thermometer I guess? Staff made sure to grab it out of my hands before I could take a picture.
