Westy Bar & Grill

Been planning to go here, but it's often crowded, which we avoid due to covid. It seemed less bad today, so we went, and asked for a more secluded table. The table we were seated at was not cleaned first (see picture). Lose 2 points for hygiene, especially with this pandemic and variants. Additionally, many food places requires masks for staff, but none were in place. This is a largely trafficked venue, with waitresses face to face with ten tables at a time. My partner is a wing connoisseur, and disliked theirs. The chili was good, salad had no bad leaves (many places cut corners). Jerk Chicken was perfectly seasoned, but felt dry, like it could have used more sauce to dip the drier parts in, but still perfect.

The food and drinks at Westy's are mostly good and they have a large menu. It's a good-sized restaurant with plenty of seating, both inside and on the deck. Service is usually competent and mostly friendly as well. My only complaint is that I never feel comfortable there. If you are a staunch anti-masker, anti-establishment, and a "patriot", you will probably love it. We'll go back, because there aren't many restaurants of this kind in the Hamburg area (and because I understand that my political persuasions really aren't important when it comes to food), but I don't think I'll ever be completely comfortable there, thanks to the signage reminding me of my "rights" to eat elsewhere if I don't like their views on masks. LOL.
