Buffalo Eats

Food trends in Western New York may be delayed compared to bigger cities, but they tend to blow up once they finally arrive. In 2011 we saw four cupcake shops open around Western New York and last year we saw four Ethiopian restaurants open in the city. It’s taken a little bit longer, but Frozen […]

This meal wouldn’t have happened without our friends, the Walley’s. While scrolling through twitter, we noticed they had just finished eating dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Williamsville and they mentioned something about soup dumplings. Our love of soup dumplings is well documented; they might be one of our favorite dishes of all time. So, […]

When we visited Dickie’s Donuts in January of 2011, we had no idea that only a couple months later the donut shop would shut down. Luckily we don’t live too far away from Paula’s Donuts which are arguably the best in Buffalo and always do the trick. But within months the shop re-opened by the […]

A couple years ago, Alli and I traveled to Williamsville to try out Pizza Plant. Buffalo Eats was still very young and I had just recently found out about their unique pods and craft beer selection. We had a nice meal but ended up taking absolutely horrible pictures (pre-flash iPhone) and never wrote about our […]

There has been a rumbling about a crepe/breakfast place opening in Williamsville for a while now and this week some readers started to tell us that Break’n Eggs (located in the old Seabar, off Main St.) had just opened. When we visited around lunchtime on Saturday, we had no idea what to expect. Aside from […]

Last month we stopped by Froyo Culture and mentioned in our review that there was another frozen yogurt shop coming to the area. It took Alli and I a few weeks but we finally made our way over to Yo Betty, Williamsville’s other frozen yogurt destination. Yo Betty is located in a stand alone location, […]

Alli and I love frozen yogurt.  Ever since our first tastes of Pinkberry in NYC we have been hooked.  We’ve continued our enjoyment locally with Yogen Fruz, sure it’s not as good (and has gone downhill lately) but it still can hit the spot on a hot day.  Luckily, in the last month Williamsville has […]

Back in December 2010, I visited Bagel Jay’s North Buffalo location and wasn’t exactly thrilled with the results.  The bagels weren’t horrible, but the lack of service and the poor appearance of the location really turned me off.  Since that time I’ve gone from working in Downtown (Allentown) to working out in the Northtowns (Getzville) and […]

It’s not very often that we are able to eat at a restaurant like Russell’s. Normally we have to wait for a special occasion or schedule a visit during Restaurant Week.  Before our visit I had never eaten at Russell’s but I’ve always heard good things about their food, service and comical remarks about their […]

One of the reoccurring complaints I hear about Buffalo’s food scene is a lack of good deli’s.  I’ve had some very good meals at several Italian deli’s (Joe’s, Marco’s) and I’ve heard we have a couple good European deli’s, but what I think Western New York is lacking are Jewish deli’s.  For a long time […]
