1. Black Forest Adler
2447 Niagara Falls Blvd, Amherst
We start off our list of best eats strong with the authentic German restaurant Black Forest Adler. You’ve never truly tasted authentic German cuisine until you’ve tried this restaurant… or visited Germany. The terrific service and friendly environment paired with reasonable prices make Black Forest Adler a favorite in the Amherst area. Hands down the only place to consider when your craving schnitzel, you’ve got to try it.
2. Siena Restaurant
4516 Main St, Amherst
Next we have the delicious Italian cuisine of Siena Restaurant. This restaurant never disappoints. Everything the chef cooks up marvelous and you’re guaranteed an enjoyable dining experience. The outstanding menu items are complemented with a great wine list. Siena Restaurant is overall a great place for any special occasion.
3. Red Pepper Chinese-Vietnamese
3910 Maple Rd, Amherst
The next restaurant on our list has mastered not one, but two cuisines. Red Pepper is a delicious family owned restaurant that serves both Chinese and Vietnamese, good luck trying to pick a favorite. With 2 different mouth watering menus to choose from, each outing to Red Pepper can be different and I’m always discovering something new to like. Many people have recommended this place to me and I’m paying it forward to recommend it to you.
4. Duff’s Famous Wings
3651 Sheridan Dr, Amherst
If you’re familiar with our previous best-eats blogs, then you know that this next restaurant has made the list before. Duff’s Famous Wings is an all-time favorite for almost everyone in and around the Buffalo area, and for good reason. Theres not enough room for me to list all the great things about Duff’s, but these wings will keep you coming back..and back..and back.. If you haven’t tried Duff’s yet, crawl out from under that rock and drive, no matter the distance.
5. Leonardi’s Pizzeria
614 Grover Cleveland Hwy, Amherst
Leonardi’s Pizzeria is another local favorite and its delicious pizza recipe dates back to the 70’s. Though a lot’s changed since then, the mouth-watering pizza of Leonardi’s has remained a go-to pizza place in the Amherst area. The staff is always friendly your food is always ready very quick. Definitely my favorite pizza place around the Amherst area, add it to you list next time your wondering what to eat.
6. Ted’s Hot Dogs
2351 Niagara Falls Blvd, Amherst
If you like hot dogs as much as I know you do, then you’ve probably already heard of Ted’s Hot Dogs before. Yet another local favorite and the food (not only the hot dogs) definitely lives up to the hype. Always recommended by your local hot dog aficionados, you never knew you could love a hot dog in so many different ways. A friendly staff and consistently yummy food makes Ted’s Hot Dogs an all-time favorite.
7. Tea Leaf Café
4224 Maple Rd, Amherst
Next we take a hard right turn from hot dogs and arrive at the Tea Leaf Café. The warm and friendly environment of the Tea Leaf Café make it a favorite social spot for people of all ages. Although they specialize in tea and beverages, they also serve delicious deserts and small meals. This Café is always a refreshing change from some of the heartier Buffalo cuisine and if you need a new place to socialize, this is the place to be.
8. Family Tree
4346 Bailey Ave, Amherst
Family Tree Restaurant is the next stop on out list. The old fashion feel to this restaurant makes it a favorite of all ages, and I mean all ages. Family Tree seems kind of like a diner without all of the diner negatives and if if that most likely doesn’t make sense to you, just know that this restaurant is worth coming to. With an extensive menu full of delicious moderately priced food, even the pickiest family member is guaranteed to find something they like.
9. Buffalo Little Lamb
3188 Sheridan Dr, Amherst
The penultimate restaurant on our list is Buffalo Little Lamb. This restaurant specializes in Hot Pot and barbecue style Chinese cuisine. If you were like me and didn’t know what Hot Pot style cooking was, you should seriously stop in to Buffalo Little Lamb and find out. This restaurant is kinda like the build-a-bear of Chinese food, and your always in for a fun dining experience. If you haven’t been yet, I recommend you checking Buffalo Little Lamb out.
10. My Tomato Pie
3035 Niagara Falls Boulevard, Amherst
The last restaurant on our list is My Tomato Pie. I know we already have one or two pizza/Italian restaurants on our list but even so, My Tomato Pie is more than deserving of a spot. The warm environment and friendly staff at My Tomato Pie make is a favorite restaurant for the whole family, no mater the occasion. The food is moderately priced and the portions are enormous. You’ll never as happy eating left-overs as you are after My Tomato Pie.
