  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?

  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.

  I support this mom and pop restaurant in west seneca. It has been open as long as I remember and I do enjoy coming here for their souvlaki.
  
  They make a great open souvlaki, pita or wrap, with beef or chicken. I prefer chicken. They have great Greek dressing and I get it with a side of fries. It makes a great comfort meal. They also have yummy rice pudding for all you fans out there.
  
  It may not look great from the outside or really nice on the inside of the restaurant, but I have never heard anyone truly complain about the food or service here. They have wonderful workers, food is good, always comes out quick, I always see the chef/cook cooking away in the back and the prices are affordable.
  
  When we ate here today, I saw a lot of people ordering a range of different things. I hear they have a great open turkey dinner!
  
  Overall, I am always going to support this restaurant. No complaints!
  
  P.s they have excellent take out. I don't like going to places where they dupe you on the portions for take out food. The towne is always generous with their portions! AND if you don't have cash for the tip make sure you have the waiter or waitress add the tip on your check before she rings you out!! Or they won't get tipped.

  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.
