This Buffalo NY food guide starts where everyone starts, with chicken wings, and then keeps going: roast beef on a salted caraway roll, pizza with the cheese pushed right to the edge, charcoal-grilled hot dogs, a Friday fish fry that hangs off the plate, and chocolate-covered sponge candy. The short version is this. Eat wings at a neighborhood tavern as well as the famous names, try beef on weck at least once, plan your meals by neighborhood rather than zigzagging across the county, and let the calendar help: Friday means fish fry, Saturday means markets, and a surprising number of kitchens close on Monday.
This guide is for visitors who want to eat like the city does, whether that’s one wing night or three days of grazing. The caveat is geography. Many of Buffalo’s food institutions sit in the suburbs, a 20- to 30-minute drive from downtown, and restaurants change hours and owners faster than any guide can track. The places named here are long-running local institutions confirmed as operating, and festival dates and market hours were checked September 23, 2026 against official sources. Check a restaurant’s own site the week you go.
What Food Is Buffalo Known For?
More than wings. Here’s the local menu at a glance, with where each dish is an institution and when it’s at its best.

| Tom & Jerry | A hot, sweet eggnog-style drink with rum or brandy | Glen Park Tavern, The Place | Thanksgiving to New Year’s |
If you’re planning the rest of your trip, our guide to the best things to do in Buffalo shows how the city’s sights cluster, which makes it easier to pin meals to the neighborhoods you’re already in.
Buffalo Wings: Where the Story Starts
The accepted story puts the first wings at the Anchor Bar on Main Street in 1964, when Teressa Bellissimo fried a batch of wings that would usually have gone into the stock pot and tossed them in hot sauce. Another Buffalo cook, John Young, made his own wings in a tangy “mambo” sauce around the same time, and the city has never fully settled the credit. What nobody disputes is where they come from. Buffalo takes them seriously enough to hold a wing festival every summer’s end.
A few local rules help you order. Nobody here says “Buffalo wings”: they’re wings. Heat levels run mild, medium and hot, and a Buffalo “medium” is hotter than you think. They come with blue cheese, not ranch, and celery, and the fight over flats versus drums is a matter of personal taste rather than civic law. Ask for them “extra crispy” if you like a harder skin. Most places sell them by the count, from 10 up to 50 or more, and a single order makes a meal for most people.
| You’ll hear | What it means |
|---|---|
| Mild, medium, hot | The standard heat scale. Start at medium unless you know your limits |
| Suicide, or the house’s hottest name | Painfully hot, often with a warning from the server |
| Flats and drums | The two cuts of the wing; some places let you ask for all of one |
| Extra crispy | Fried longer for a harder, crunchier skin |
| Sauce on the side | Useful for kids and cautious eaters, frowned on by purists |
| Blue cheese | The only dip. Ranch marks you as a visitor |
Most Buffalo wing sauce starts from a cayenne pepper sauce, very often Frank’s RedHot, melted together with butter or margarine. Each bar tweaks it, and the differences in heat, vinegar and butter are what locals argue about.
The Anchor Bar
The Anchor Bar is where you go for the story, and it’s worth doing once. The Main Street building is just north of downtown, and the wings are exactly what you’d expect from the place that claims to have invented them: medium-sauced, crisp and served with the standard blue cheese and celery. Locals will tell you there are better wings elsewhere, and they may be right, but eating the original in its own room is part of the Buffalo experience.
Plan it: 1047 Main Street; about a 10-minute walk from the Allen/Medical Campus Metro Rail station; open for lunch and dinner, but check the restaurant’s own site for current hours; expect a wait on weekend evenings and before Bills games.
The neighborhood taverns
For many locals the best wings come from a bar they grew up near. The most famous of these are Duff’s Famous Wings in Amherst, a favorite for decades; Bar-Bill Tavern in East Aurora, about 30 minutes southeast; Gabriel’s Gate in Allentown; and the Nine-Eleven Tavern in South Buffalo. They’re all casual places where wings come by the dozen and the television is tuned to the game.
Plan it: Gabriel’s Gate is walkable from downtown; Duff’s and Bar-Bill need a car; go early on game days or be ready to wait; many wing bars close earlier than you’d expect on weeknights.
The ranking fight has its own guide: our guide to the best wings in Buffalo for visitors compares the famous names honestly, and our Buffalo wing trail itinerary strings them together without backtracking across the county. If your trip falls on the right late-summer weekend, the National Buffalo Wing Festival at Sahlen Field is the obvious splurge. The 2026 festival ran August 29 and 30; the 2027 edition is set for September 4 and 5, Labor Day weekend, with general admission $20 a day and children 8 and under free.
Beef on Weck: The Local Sandwich
If wings are Buffalo’s export, beef on weck is its home-cooked secret. The sandwich is thin-sliced roast beef, usually rare, piled on a kummelweck roll: a kaiser roll crusted with coarse salt and caraway seeds. The top is dipped in the beef’s juice, and freshly grated horseradish goes on at the table, as much as you can take. The roll came to Buffalo with German immigrants in the 1800s, and the sandwich has been a tavern lunch ever since.
Where to try it
Three names come up again and again. Schwabl’s in West Seneca, about 20 minutes southeast of downtown, is the old-school version, where the beef is carved to order. Charlie the Butcher’s Kitchen, near the airport, is the fast, counter-service version, and its owner’s white apron and bump cap are a regional brand. Kelly’s Korner, in the city, is the neighborhood-bar version. Many wing places serve a decent weck too, so you don’t need a special trip if you’re short on time.
Plan it: lunch is the time; ask for the beef rare if you want it the traditional way; go easy on the horseradish until you’ve tasted it; our guide to the best beef on weck in Buffalo compares the classic spots and when they’re open.
Buffalo-Style Pizza and the Chicken Finger Sub
Buffalo pizza sits between New York and Chicago. The crust is thicker and airier than a New York slice, with a crisp bottom, the sauce leans sweet, and the cheese and toppings go right to the edge. The pepperoni is the giveaway: small, thick slices that curl into little cups and char at the rims. Order a large, and it’ll feed more people than you think. Pizza shops here also sell wings, so a pizza-and-wings order is a normal Friday night at home.
Bocce Club Pizza in Amherst is a longtime favorite; La Nova on the West Side is the big, busy name, known for both pizza and wings; and Picasso’s Pizza in West Seneca has a loyal following in the Southtowns. For a local after-hours meal, the chicken finger sub is the move: fried chicken fingers tossed in hot sauce, with lettuce, tomato and blue cheese on a sub roll. John’s Pizza & Subs in Tonawanda and Jim’s Steakout, a late-night standby with several locations, are the usual answers. Our guide to where to try Buffalo-style pizza in Buffalo covers the style and the shops in detail.
Sponge Candy, Custard and Other Sweets
Sponge candy is Buffalo’s candy: a crunchy, airy block of honeycomb toffee coated in milk or dark chocolate, which shatters when you bite it. It doesn’t like humidity, so it’s at its best from fall through spring, and a box makes the easiest souvenir to carry home. Parkside Candy, in an old-fashioned shop on Main Street in University Heights, is the most atmospheric place to buy it. Watson’s Chocolates in Orchard Park and Alethea’s Chocolates are the other long-running local names. While you’re at the counter, look for orange chocolate, milk chocolate with a delicate orange flavor, which is another local habit.
In summer, the sweet stop is frozen custard, denser and richer than soft-serve ice cream. Anderson’s in Kenmore also sells roast beef sandwiches, which makes it a two-course stop; Fran-Ceil Custard in Blasdell is the Southtowns equivalent. And look for loganberry, a sweet, non-carbonated fruit drink that you rarely see outside Western New York, at hot dog stands and delis.
Plan it: buy sponge candy last on your trip and keep it cool; ask whether the shop ships if you want more later; our guide to the best sponge candy in Buffalo compares the makers and the milk-versus-dark debate. In the fall, pair it with cider and doughnuts, as our Buffalo fall guide explains.
The Friday Fish Fry
Fridays belong to fish in Buffalo, a tradition that comes from the city’s big Catholic population and meatless Lenten Fridays, and one that lasts all year. The standard plate is a slab of haddock, usually beer-battered but sometimes broiled, so long it hangs off the plate, with french fries, coleslaw, macaroni or potato salad, and rye bread. During Lent the churches, fire halls and veterans’ posts hold their own fish fries, and taverns across the region fill up by 6 p.m.
Gene McCarthy’s in the Old First Ward, near the grain elevators on the Buffalo River, is a classic tavern for it. McPartlan’s Corner in the city and Wallenwein’s Hotel in East Aurora are two more long-standing names. The honest advice is that most neighborhood taverns do a good one, so the tavern closest to where you are at 6 p.m. on a Friday is often the right answer.
Plan it: Friday dinner, and earlier in Lent; expect a wait at the famous spots; ask whether it’s haddock or cod if you care; our Buffalo fish fry guide covers the best taverns, church fish fries and what to order.
Hot Dogs, Tom & Jerrys and Other Local Rites
Buffalo’s hot dog is a Sahlen’s, a local brand, grilled over charcoal until the casing snaps. Ted’s Hot Dogs, with stands in Tonawanda and around the region, is the best-known place to watch them cook over an open flame. Order one with the works and a loganberry, and add onion rings if you’re hungry. Taffy’s Hot Dog Stand in Orchard Park is a Southtowns favorite, handy before a Bills game.
Some of the other local rites are seasonal. The Tom & Jerry, a warm, frothy batter drink with rum or brandy, appears in taverns between Thanksgiving and New Year’s; the Glen Park Tavern in Williamsville and The Place in the city are known for it. Chef’s Restaurant near downtown has served its spaghetti parm for generations. Paula’s Donuts is the place for the local peanut stick, a doughnut rolled in chopped peanuts. And the region’s bakeries make pastry hearts and Polish chrusciki, the fried “angel wings” that turn up at family parties.
Our list of Buffalo foods to try besides wings covers the rest of the local menu, from butter lambs to the stinger, a steak-and-chicken-finger combination served on subs and pizza.
What to Drink in Buffalo
Buffalo is a beer town first. The unofficial beer of the city’s taverns is Labatt Blue, a Canadian lager that tastes of cross-border loyalty, and Genesee from Rochester has its fans too, especially the Cream Ale. Order either with wings and nobody will blink.
Craft brewing has grown fast over the past 15 years, and taprooms now fill old industrial buildings across the city, from Larkinville on the East Side to the Old First Ward and the Buffalo River. RiverWorks, the entertainment complex in old grain silos on the river, brews its own beer on site and pairs it with a restaurant and year-round rinks. Many taprooms welcome kids and dogs in the afternoon and bring in food trucks on weekends, which makes them useful for families as well as beer drinkers.
For something without alcohol, look for loganberry, and in the morning, notice how many Tim Hortons there are. The Canadian coffee-and-doughnut chain is as much a part of Buffalo life as its own bakeries, a reminder of how close the border is. In winter, the Tom & Jerry takes over, and in summer, the frozen custard stands do.
Beyond the Classics: Buffalo’s Global Food
The wings get the headlines, but some of the city’s most interesting cooking comes from newer arrivals. Buffalo has welcomed thousands of refugees and immigrants over the past three decades, and the West Side and East Side now have Burmese, Bangladeshi, Yemeni, Vietnamese and Ethiopian restaurants alongside the West Side’s long-established Puerto Rican kitchens and the old taverns.
The West Side Bazaar
The best introduction is the West Side Bazaar, a small-business incubator run by the nonprofit WEDI, where new food businesses get their start in shared space. It has eight restaurant and retail businesses under one roof, with food stalls cooking Afghan, Egyptian, Congolese, Thai and Korean dishes and seafood fusion, a bar serving beer and wine, and stalls selling goods from Sri Lanka. It’s casual, affordable and one of the best lunches in the city for a group that can’t agree on anything.
Plan it: 1432 Niagara Street, on the West Side; open Tuesday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.; closed Sunday and Monday; stalls change as businesses graduate to their own storefronts.
The Broadway Market
The Broadway Market is Buffalo’s public market, in the heart of the historic Polish neighborhood of Broadway-Fillmore, and it’s at its most extraordinary in the week before Easter. That’s when the crowds come for butter lambs, pierogi, kielbasa, horseradish, chrusciki and Easter bread, and the market feels like a festival. The rest of the year it’s quieter, with a few butchers, bakers and delis. The day after Easter comes Dyngus Day, when Broadway-Fillmore throws a Polish-American street party; in 2027 that’s Monday, March 29.
Plan it: 999 Broadway; open year-round, with the biggest selection in Holy Week; take the NFTA’s Broadway bus from downtown or drive, with parking at the market.
Vegetarians do better here than the wing-and-weck reputation suggests, largely thanks to these global kitchens and the city’s cafes. Our guide to vegetarian food in Buffalo for tourists covers the best of them, and our Buffalo neighborhoods guide explains each area beyond its food.
Where to Eat in Buffalo, Neighborhood by Neighborhood
The best way to eat well in Buffalo is to pick the neighborhood first. The city is spread out, and many of its best food stops are in the suburbs, so a good meal plan follows the neighborhoods you’ll already be exploring.
| Area | Getting there | What to eat | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Downtown and Canalside | Metro Rail | Pubs, pizza, pre-game dinners, spaghetti parm at Chef’s | Sabres games and waterfront days |
| Theater District | Metro Rail | Pre-show dinners and late drinks | A night at Shea’s |
| Allentown | Metro Rail to Allen/Medical Campus | Bars, wings at Gabriel’s Gate, eclectic small restaurants | A walkable evening |
| Elmwood Village | NFTA Route 20 bus | Cafes, brunch, casual restaurants | Pairing with the AKG and Delaware Park |
| Hertel Avenue | Bus or a short drive | Italian bakeries, restaurants and pizza | An evening stroll and dinner |
| West Side | Bus or a short drive | The West Side Bazaar, La Nova, global restaurants | Lunch with range |
| Broadway-Fillmore | NFTA Broadway bus | The Broadway Market’s Polish specialties | Easter week above all |
| Old First Ward and the Buffalo River | Car, bike or rideshare | Tavern fish fry, riverside bars | Friday nights and river days |
| Amherst, Tonawanda and Kenmore | Car | Duff’s, Bocce Club, Ted’s, Anderson’s | A northern food loop |
| The Southtowns and East Aurora | Car | Schwabl’s, Watson’s, Taffy’s, Bar-Bill | Pairing with a Bills game or a day south |
The suburban loops are where the institutions cluster. A northern loop from Duff’s to Bocce Club and Ted’s, finishing with custard at Anderson’s, takes an afternoon by car. A southern loop from Schwabl’s to Watson’s and Taffy’s, ending in East Aurora at Bar-Bill, fits a day that includes Chestnut Ridge or a Bills game.
Eating Your Way Around Without a Car
You can eat well in Buffalo on transit, as long as you stay inside the city. The Metro Rail runs up Main Street from Canalside through the Theater District and Allentown to University Heights, which puts downtown pubs, Allentown’s bars, the Anchor Bar and Parkside Candy all near a station. A single ride is $2, a day pass is $5, and a MetGo card caps your fares at $5 a day. Construction has single-tracked the above-ground stretch downtown, so trains come about every 20 minutes for now.
Buses fill the gaps: Route 20 runs along Elmwood Avenue, and there’s a Broadway route out to the market. The suburban institutions are a different story: Duff’s, Schwabl’s, Bocce Club, Ted’s and Bar-Bill all need a car or a rideshare. Our Buffalo food crawl without a car plans a full day of eating on the Metro Rail and buses, with the best stops near each station.
A Two-Day Buffalo Eating Plan
If you want to taste the whole local menu in a weekend, split it into a city day on transit and a suburban day by car. This is a plan for eaters rather than sightseers, but each day leaves room for the city’s museums and parks.
Day one: the city on the Metro Rail
Start with coffee and a doughnut downtown, then ride the Metro Rail north to the Allen/Medical Campus station for an early lunch of wings at the Anchor Bar, before the crowds. Walk it off in Allentown, then ride to the north end of the line for sponge candy at Parkside Candy. For dinner, if it’s Friday, find a fish fry at a tavern. If not, eat in Allentown or on Elmwood Avenue, and finish with a chicken finger sub at Jim’s Steakout if you’re out late. On a Tuesday to Saturday, swap in the West Side Bazaar for lunch and save the wings for dinner.
Day two: the suburban institutions by car
Pick a direction. Going south, have beef on weck at Schwabl’s in West Seneca for lunch, buy sponge candy at Watson’s in Orchard Park, walk off the damage at Chestnut Ridge, and finish with wings at Bar-Bill Tavern in East Aurora. Going north, start at Charlie the Butcher’s Kitchen near the airport for weck, add a charcoal hot dog at Ted’s, pizza at Bocce Club or wings at Duff’s, and end with frozen custard at Anderson’s in Kenmore in summer. Either loop runs about 40 to 60 miles with the drive back, and either one is a lot of food.
Our Buffalo wing trail itinerary goes deeper on the wing stops alone, and our Buffalo itineraries fit the eating around the city’s sights on longer trips.
When to Eat: Timing Your Meals in Buffalo
Timing matters more here than in most cities, because so much of Buffalo’s food follows the week, the season and the sports calendar.
| When | What to eat | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Friday nights | Fish fry | Any tavern, and church fish fries in Lent |
| Saturday mornings | Market browsing and bakeries | The Broadway Market and neighborhood bakeries |
| Bills game days | Wings, pizza and weck at home or in a bar | Book ahead or eat off-peak; the wing bars fill hours before kickoff |
| Late at night | Pizza, wings and chicken finger subs | Allentown and Elmwood; Erie County bars can serve until 4 a.m. |
| Summer | Custard, charcoal hot dogs and festival food | Taste of Buffalo in July (July 11–12 in 2026); food-truck nights at Larkin Square |
| Holy Week and Easter Monday | Butter lambs, pierogi, kielbasa | The Broadway Market; Dyngus Day in Broadway-Fillmore |
| Thanksgiving to New Year’s | Tom & Jerrys and holiday sweets | Old taverns and candy shops |
Two practical warnings. Plenty of neighborhood restaurants close on Mondays, and some on Sundays too, including the West Side Bazaar, so plan your Monday meals around the chains, the downtown pubs and the places you’ve confirmed are open. And on Bills Sundays, the city’s bars and wing spots are packed from late morning; if you’re not watching the game, that’s a fine time to eat almost anywhere else. Our Buffalo events and festivals guide lists the food festivals through the year.
Reservations, Budgets and Tipping
Buffalo’s food is, for the most part, casual and fairly priced. The taverns, wing bars, hot dog stands and pizza shops don’t take reservations, and you’ll rarely need one outside a few busy situations: the better sit-down restaurants downtown and on Elmwood on Friday and Saturday nights, anywhere near KeyBank Center before a Sabres game, and Thanksgiving weekend. For fish fry at the famous taverns, arrive before 6 p.m. or expect to wait at the bar.
Budget follows the style. A wing order and a beer at a neighborhood tavern costs a fraction of a sit-down dinner downtown, and a hot dog stand or a custard cone is cheaper still. The expensive nights are the chef-driven restaurants, which Buffalo has more of than its reputation suggests. Tipping follows American norms: about 20% for table service, a dollar or two a drink at the bar, and something in the jar at counters if you like. Most places take cards, but keep a little cash for small bakeries, farm stands and the market.
Food Souvenirs to Take Home
The easiest edible souvenirs travel well and aren’t sold everywhere else:
- Sponge candy, in a sturdy box, kept cool and dry.
- Wing sauce from the bar you liked best; many sell bottles at the counter.
- Weber’s horseradish mustard, the local mustard for hot dogs and weck.
- Loganberry drink concentrate, for making the drink at home.
- Orange chocolate and chocolate-covered pretzels from the local candy makers.
If you’re flying home, remember that sauces and mustards count as liquids at airport security, so anything over 3.4 ounces has to go in a checked bag. Sponge candy can ride in your carry-on, which is the safer place for it anyway.
Waterfront, Canalside and Game-Day Eating
Three situations come up often enough to have their own guides. If you’re spending the day at Canalside, our guide to the best restaurants near Canalside Buffalo covers what’s within a few minutes’ walk, from casual lunch to a sit-down dinner. If you’re heading to KeyBank Center, our guide to where to eat in Buffalo before a Sabres game sorts the options by walking time to the arena. And for a meal with the water in view, our guide to Buffalo waterfront restaurants with a view covers the Outer Harbor, the Erie Basin Marina and the river. Our Buffalo waterfront guide explains how the whole shoreline fits together, and our Buffalo itineraries build these meals into full days.
Buffalo Food FAQ
What food is Buffalo NY famous for?
Chicken wings are the headline, but locals would add beef on weck, a roast beef sandwich on a salted caraway roll; Buffalo-style pizza with cupped pepperoni; the Friday fish fry; charcoal-grilled Sahlen’s hot dogs; sponge candy; frozen custard; the chicken finger sub; and loganberry, a sweet fruit drink. The Broadway Market’s Polish Easter foods and the holiday Tom & Jerry round out the list.
Where were Buffalo wings invented?
The accepted story credits the Anchor Bar on Main Street, where Teressa Bellissimo first served fried wings in hot sauce in 1964. John Young, another Buffalo cook, served his own wings in a tangy sauce around the same time. The Anchor Bar is still open at 1047 Main Street and is the usual first stop for visitors who want the original.
What is beef on weck?
Beef on weck is a Buffalo sandwich of thin-sliced roast beef, usually rare, on a kummelweck roll: a kaiser roll crusted with coarse salt and caraway seeds. The top of the roll is dipped in the beef’s juices, and horseradish goes on at the table. Schwabl’s in West Seneca, Charlie the Butcher’s Kitchen and Kelly’s Korner are well-known places to try it.
Can you eat well in Buffalo without a car?
Inside the city, yes. The Metro Rail runs along Main Street past downtown, Allentown, the Anchor Bar and Parkside Candy, and buses cover Elmwood Avenue, the West Side and Broadway. A ride costs $2 and a day pass $5. Many classic institutions, including Duff’s, Schwabl’s and Ted’s, are in the suburbs and need a car or rideshare.
What is sponge candy?
Sponge candy is a light, crunchy honeycomb toffee coated in chocolate, and Buffalo is its capital. Because it doesn’t like humidity, it’s at its best from fall through spring. Parkside Candy, Watson’s Chocolates and Alethea’s Chocolates are long-running local makers, and a box travels well as a souvenir if you keep it cool.
When is the National Buffalo Wing Festival?
It’s held at the end of summer at Sahlen Field, the downtown ballpark. The 2026 festival ran August 29 and 30, and the 2027 festival is scheduled for Labor Day weekend, September 4 and 5, with general admission at $20 a day and free entry for children 8 and under. Expect dozens of wing vendors, eating contests and long lines, and arrive early for the popular stands.
Do you need reservations for restaurants in Buffalo?
Rarely. Taverns, wing bars, pizza shops and hot dog stands work on a first-come basis, and fish fry lines move quickly. Book ahead for popular sit-down restaurants downtown and on Elmwood Avenue on weekend nights, for anything near KeyBank Center before a Sabres game, and for Thanksgiving weekend. On Bills game days, go early or eat well away from the bars.
