Best Lunch Restaurants in Tonawanda

The ambiance was beautiful, the service was excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious. We already can’t wait to go back!

Although set inside a hotel, this restaurant had such a cool vibe. Beautiful bar, open kitchen, modern decor, private nooks. The server was efficient, but didn’t exactly give his tables the warm and fuzzies. The short rib, potatoes and rainbow chard were to die for. So tender and flavorful. Had a bite of my husband’s steak and that took was cooked to perfection, tender, and flavorful. Great little stop for our first night in Buffalo.

First time visit. Wasn’t sure what to expect. The space is unique to say the least with a split level dining room. I’d request downstairs if we go again. Kind of a modern speakeasy feel. Staff was attentive but not pesky. Food was on point. Simple menu mostly from scratch. Cocktails are on point as well. IMO it’s worth a try if you haven’t been-

Decided on the Burning Buffalo for a friend meetup due to the good amount of GF options. Food and service was amazing. They had an extensive drink menu and the Paloma was spot on. We ended up ordering steak sandwiches, chicken fingers and tacos. Everyone left full and happy!

The food was fresh and plentiful, with multiple vegetarian options available. My boyfriend and I shared a souvlaki plate with spanakopita and an appetizer and that was enough for the two of us. Anthony took good care of us, with kind attention, recommendations, and prompt service.
