Found Maria’s based on others reviews. We spent the day winery hopping and were looking for a good meal at the end of the day. This place did not disappoint! From the atmosphere, vibe, to the incredible burger I ordered. The bartender, Taylor, was a sweetheart….welcoming, and just a vibe! But seriously….i ordered the jalapeño burger and it was probably one of the best I have ever had! Ordered the curly fries with it and they were amazing too. This place is great. Will definitely visit again when we come back to Seneca Lake.

If you want a burger that will make you want to divorce your wife and spend all your spare money on. This is the burger. I’ve never had a burger so good in my whole life. God bless Maria’s

★★★★★ 5.0 Blake Troxell · Oct 2025

Absolutely amazing! Bartender was efficient and a freaking rock star. Balances regulars with tourists (tourist). The food was very very good. The burger was fresh and fries appear hand cut. If you are not into local spots then steer clear, if you love a great atmosphere and local hospitality, go here.

We love this place. Great locals bar. Cash only. Vegan burger, spicy curly fries, (not really spicy, but they’re super crispy!) and great beers at a great price.

Neat little bar on the main drag of Watkins Glenn. Definitely a local hangout and place has the race vibe on decor. There is very little table seating and you order at the bar for food and drinks. Couple of reviews complained about lack of service. There are signs stating how to order, so it should not be a surprise. The food quality was very good and drinks were top notch. Some of the best wings around. I will definitely be going back.
