See-Zurh House

Had a good time great bar service. Great location, good food. Great beer selection the sandwich is a must try

This used to be my favorite place in Bemus. I went this past week with a friend (mostly for the hot fudge peanut butter ice cream pie which was nothing short of amazing) and was actually disappointed. They have changed the menu since the last time I was there and not for the better. The chef salad that was my favorite wasn’t on the menu. I got a burger thinking that it would be good, but all it was was a frozen burger patty that was subpar. The waitress had no personality, unlike the waitresses that had worked there since I was a kid.
I’m not sure if the food was blah because it’s not summer, but I never remember being able to notice a difference in food between summer and winter before. I would go back again during the summer to try the food and see if it improves, but if it’s the same quality I would not go back again (unless I was only getting the hot fudge peanut butter ice cream pie).
All and all, a disappointing trip.

Gotta be careful, my last review of the See-​Zurh house was yanked. I went into a digression on the See-​Zurh house’s history (Don See & Zurh Faulkner) and probably said too much about Thom Shagla’s hell-​raising days.
So, back to the review… before Shagla took over (30+ yrs. ago) this place was a watering hole for the local beeraholics (a lot of serious drinkers in the area) but now serves decent pub grub (nothing very healthy, but it is filling) and the prices are very affordable vis-​a-​vis the other places a stone’s throw away. They serve a credible beef on weck (it never seemed to make it to Chautauqua County as the locals have more affinity to Cleveland than to Buffalo) and plenty of deep-​fried stuff like pickles, mushrooms, onion rings, etc. (think, clogged arteries).
2 star atmosphere, 3 star food but I’m giving them 4 stars for reasonable prices.

Heard they had a new chef, and finally got to check him out. They still have the old «classic» menu, but have a whole new repertoire of pretty darn amazing apps and entrees. We had the lightly breaded and fried artichokes with a superb aioli dipping sauce, and the flatbread, also excellent. I had the meatloaf with puréed sweet potatoes and sautéed shallots in «natural» gravy: truly amazing and just$ 10. Worth it at twice the price. Wife had the stuffed trout and son got the rigatoni, both superb. Didn’t get to try a dessert but they looked good. Conclusion: big city eating for cheap in the same atmosphere as it’s always had.

This is a classic western NY local spot. Old, traditional, friendly, basic fare. But it has «dive charm», and is just plain nice. Eat in the bar for the best vibe.
Good wings, beef on wick, Reuben’s, wraps, excellent home made soups and decadent deserts. One of the few Bemus spots that is open all year. Lunch ends at 2 but they have wings, burgers and things available all day bar menu. Dinner starts ou at 5.

Lunch today was nothing short of a good tîme with excellent food. what more can you ask for?
well no you cant see the lake. but also no you wont have to empty your wallet for unremarkable sandwiches.
we had an egg salad and a chicken salad sandwich. both were made with obvious care and were truly delicious. and these folks apparently know the art of soup. the chicken veg was popping with flavor and the green bean chowder was as tasty as it was surprising.
beer selection very good.
our server was just the right amount of sassy /​funny. we felt good being there and will return next time in town.
Cheers.

Had a fun time at see zhur, good food, affordable & super friendly fun staff. Best place to eat casual in Bemus. I ordered a shocktop beer in bottle, and joking asked for a slice of orange. They didn’t have any orange slices so they went next store to the grocery market, bought an orange, and sliced it, see the photo. Party of six, served fast, & well taken care of by Jill. Also cool hair color by other waitress!

The See-​Zurh (some times called Shaggy’s) is hands down the best restaurant in Bemis Point, New York.
It’s a super casual no frills place that a lot of people go to for a drink at the bar, but it has a complete menu along with daily specials, top notch service and, over all, it’s just a fun place be at. The crowd consists of both locals and tourists, but most of the tourists go to over priced places with far worse food and horrid service like the Italian Fisherman because it is located on the water (Lake Chautauqua).
I’ve been to the See-​Zurh countless times over the last several decades and have never been disappointed. They have excellent burgers and their aged rib eye steak is superb. Best of all, the food and the drinks are reasonably priced.

We had beef on weck and a side salad. It was all great! The service was excellent. Try this place out if ur in the area

This place was good for dinner. Had beef on wheck & wife had burger with green beans; food was great! Enjoy Shocktop & Yuengling on tap. The service is excellent; they kept my beer topped off and always asked if we were ok.
