Buffalo Restaurant Guide

Schwabl's Restaurant is a friendly, familiar place for those who would like to "step back in time" and enjoy western New York's regional fare of Roast Beef on Kummelweck and Fish Frys served everyday. Once here, people discover that we also serve homemade German potato salad and over 50 special homemade soups, as well as fine cocktails made the "old fashioned" way with all fresh ingredients, no mixes used here, to compliment your meal.

We believe that we may be the longest line of restaurant operators in New York and possibly in all of the United States. Even prohibition did not interrupt Schwabl's claim of continuous service to the people of western New York. In 1956 the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce presented Schwabl's with a citation for being on of the Pioneer Businesses on the Niagra Frontier.

In August of 1999 Schwabl's was featured in Gourmet Magazine. 2003 brought Schawbl's to national television in a program produced for public television called "Sandwiches That You Will Like." In 2004 Business First Magazine names Schwabl's western New York's 3rd oldest restaurant and in the September issue of Maxim Magazine (an international publication) Schwabl's Beef on Weck was named as one of America's top 10 sandwiches.

In 2006 both Art voice and The Bee Group Newspapers polled their readers and Schwabl's was voted number one Buffalo's Best Beef on Weck.

2007 brought Schwabl's into two travel books. "Eat This..."1,001 Things to Eat Before You Diet by Ian Jackman, and the USA and Canada edition of the New York Times number one Bestseller book, 1000 Places To See Before You Die by Patricia Schultz. The Buffalo Spree readers voted Schwabl's 2007 Buffalo's Best Beef on Weck.

We were honored in January of 2009 to have been chosen for the Travel Channel show "No Reservations" with Anthony Bourdain.

Our wonderful customers have allowed lust to continue this tradition, Thank You!
