Best Restaurants in Buffalo ?????

[hellofellowbillsfans]

Hi all, 

 

As a distraction from the impending Allen news I wanted to ask a question - I'm gonna be in Buffalo this weekend for the Sabres and Bills games and it's been a while since I've been back. Where are the absolute best places to eat? We'll do wings one night but wanted to see if there are any can't miss breweries or food places we should be checking out. 

 

Go Bills!

Bar Bill for wings in East Aurora for sure.  NYBP in Lockport on Transit Rd near Tonawanda Creek is awesome for a brewery.  Hamburg Brewing Company is great too. Big Ditch Brewery downtown.  Pearl Street Bar and Grille downtown.  Tons more options around tho now for breweries. There are lots of great restaurants, what types of food do you like?

Their beer and their food is excellent.

There’s better Italian food to be found for sure, but if you want an iconic Buffalo experience and mounds of pasta with sauce and baked cheese on top appeals to you, Spaghetti Parm at Chef’s should be on the menu

There is a great burger place called "Allen Burger Venture" right down from Gabriel's gate.

 

One of the best burgers I've ever had, I didn't drink so can't speak to the beer selection/satisfaction.

Griffon Gastropub has a few locations (East Amherst, Niagara Falls, and East Aurora).  Awesome food and beer selection - I’d highly recommend it.

We will eat anything but would prefer the unhealthy variety since we don't get up there much these days! We want the full Buffalo experience.

…..and a half stick of butter.

 

But, yes, it is good stuff. Get extra sauce

If you want some good food and good atmosphere, Roost, Hutch’s, JTs, Lombardos 

All great dinner places with top notch cocktails to boot

Go Bills!

What part of town are you staying in?  Also are you from Buffalo?  That would impact my recommendation for Italian food. If you are near Tonawanda, Prescott’s Provisions is my rec. Make reservations, share a bunch of plates and get dessert.

Better make reservations now though. Pretty much seems like you need a week's lead time minimally.

[Dan in Owego]

True good call, totally worth the lead time i believe.

Charlie the Butcher for Beef on Weck then needs to be on your stopping list

Good choice for the Southtowns, if near downtown I'd recommend The Place as have a very good lobster gnocchi and if it's not too cold the porch and fire pits make for a great spot to eat as the sun goes down.

Only problem is Lombardos is closed on Sundays
