management - TripAdvisor Rowhouse is a newbie to the restaurant scene and while they might specialize in a bright atmosphere for breakfast pastries, they also excel in their dinner entrees. Their food isn’t the only thing that’s top-notch. Once you step inside, you’ll never want to leave this historic Buffalo building!

  1. A Street Meatball Market (23 Allen Street)

The Grange Community Kitchen - Facebook We know this one technically isn’t in Buffalo, but The Grange Community Kitchen is so good, it deserves a place on this list of incredible restaurants! Not to mention, Hamburg is a wonderful place to visit outside of the city. Pro tip: order the burger and don’t even think about skipping the crispy potatoes. Our mouths are watering just thinking about it!

  1. Freddy J’s BBQ (195 Grant Street)

Lloyd Taco Factory - Facebook Where’s Lloyd? These days, you can find them in their classic green taco truck, at the Taco Factory on Hertel, and now at a second brick and mortar location in Williamsville! While any and all Lloyd locations are worth visiting in 2018, the Williamsville spot won us over with the “Big Willie Style” burrito!
