38 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Buffalo

“Me and a few of my co-workers ordered the chicken sandwich’s with the truffle fries… bro the sandwiches and fries are absolutely BANGIN!!!! We are definitely ordering again in the near future!!!“

“Really solid lamb over rice platter, the red sauce is banging, can’t wait to have it again“

“Fast, friendly and the food was great!“

“We was in the buffalo area and was looking for a good pie. Figured we would check it out. Pizza was very good but the sauce was a little sweet for my liking. But if I was in the area again I would have it again.“

“Great affordable and healthy food for lunch or dinner. Large enough menu to find something for everybody!“

“Gotten Pho here a couple times, and it’s soooo good.“

“Usually hit Ted's up quiet a few times. Well today was the last. The new kiosks coupled with the not so personal staff has capped off me and my family never eating there again. Loved when you ordered with the cook, watched your hot grilled the way you like it (extra dark) to being able to have the employee place more or less of the condiments on your item. Today's order came out sub par cooked the way we like them. The poor girl has to keep turning around to look what condiments go on what item. I can tell you alot of people came back up with wrongly prepared item in the short time we were there. One size of fries which were too much for my girlfriend to finish. Might as well just go to McDonalds if you want a standard made item. All to save what, two employees salary? No personal touch any more. Well it looks like Tony's Bayview or Taffys from now on. 😔 😟 😊“

“The chicken was great and very reasonably priced.“

“great hot dogs and onion ring“

“It was our first time and it was delicious“

“awesome chicken fingers 👍“

“I usually get Door Dash from this location, but I stopped in today. Tye greeted me & took my order - and was one of the most pleasant interactions from a restaurant, that I’ve had in a long time. Food, as always, was great!

Thank you!“

“very good value , soup is very good and changes daily great lunch spot“

“Normally I get good pretzel and good service here but the last time I was here there was a girl working and normally I never see her. She gave me an old crusty pretzel from the display that wasn’t made that day and it tasted pretty bad, she was patient with me when I was using my rewards I have on my app but I can tell she just wanted me to hurry up and leave, I don’t think she was too happy I came back to ask for a sauce. I love the service from the guys, never had a problem. I love the pizza pretzels from here.“

“I like this place, and have been going to this location since it opened in like 2002. Now they just need to get that big, self-serve Coke machine, with all the different combinations of pop and water in it, and I'll like it even better!“

“Growing up in south Buffalo Texas hots was a staple for the neighborhood and since it’s random closing Jimmys is the only place that has a special sauce not only close to them but better. The employees and atmosphere of the business is genuine, welcoming and overall a very good experience. Truly happy to have found Jimmys and can’t wait to go back!“

“Innovative & creative foods very delicious“

“This location is known for serving a variety of treats such as ice creams, Blizzards, sundaes, and fast food items. It's a part of the Dairy Queen Grill & Chill system, which has a reputation for its combination of hardworking people and great-tasting food and treats. The store offers amenities like credit card acceptance, mobile ordering, delivery, gift cards, and outdoor seating.Dairy Queen, one of the largest fast-food chains specializing in ice cream and frozen treats, has a rich history that dates back to 1940. The first Dairy Queen store was opened in Joliet, Illinois, by entrepreneur John Freemont "J.F." McCullough, his son Alex, and their friend Sherb Noble. They developed a unique soft-serve recipe two years earlier and decided to open Dairy Queen following its successful trial at Sherb's ice cream shop.The initial store in Joliet was primarily a place to buy ice cream and refreshments, with no seating for customers. Instead, people were encouraged to take their treats home or eat them on the go. This concept of a quick-service ice cream establishment was new and rapidly gained popularity.Dairy Queen began expanding through a franchise system just a year after its inception. By 1947, the number of stores grew to 100, and by 1953, Dairy Queen had crossed the borders into Canada with a franchise in Melville, Saskatchewan. In the 1950s and 1960s, Dairy Queen became a staple of social life in small Midwestern and Southern towns in the United States, often featuring in stories and memoirs about small-town America.A significant milestone in their menu development was the introduction of the Blizzard in 1985. This new product, combining soft-serve ice cream with candy mix-ins, was an instant success and became a hallmark of the Dairy Queen brand.Over the years, Dairy Queen has continued to grow and evolve. As of the mid-2010s, there were more than 6,400 Dairy Queen stores in over 25 countries, with the majority in the United States. The company became International Dairy Queen, Inc. (IDQ) in 1962 and was later acquired by Berkshire Hathaway in 1998.Dairy Queen's menu has also evolved over the years, from the introduction of malts and shakes in 1949, banana splits in 1951, to the Dilly® Bar in 1955. The Brazier® concept, which introduced an expanded fast-food menu, was launched in 1957. Today, Dairy Queen's offerings include a wide range of frozen treats, fast food items, and specialty items like the Blizzard and GrillBurgers.“

“I can't rate the atmosphere because it's a drive thru with very friendly and fast service. You have to try the delicious fish sandwich and cheese burgers. The chicken sandwich is delicious also. Bailey Avenue is a busy stretch and be cautious of other drivers. They love speeding in Buffalo and hardly no braking. I like the location it's a welcoming neighborhood. Drive cautious and safe.“

“This Dairy Queen is amazing! It’s right near me so it’s an easy walk, and usually the lines aren’t crowded and the staff are really nice! The atmosphere is nice and the food is great just a bit melty but you can grab a few napkins then you are fine.“

“Every time I go through there everyone is soooo Kind!!! And the foods always hot, fresh and there's one lady that seriously is the nicest on the microphone than any other McDonald's I've ever been too. Seemed like she might have been the manager. And also this one kid (and this is not racist) it's just because I don't know how name but he's a tall African American that is super nice on the mic, answered my questions about the ratio of how many people use the app that don't use it and he was so nice. Deserves a raise! I actually drive on my way to go to that McDonald's!! Unless I'm in Lancaster LOL. That's my other favorite one 🤣❤️❤️ thanks guys keep up the great work! Also that lady she deserves a raise too I swear out of all McDonald's I've been across this country she's the nicest one ever ever ever ever ever ever. !!“

“Friendly staff…yummy food“

“the food was good. the service was a little slow. the manager was nice and gave me two coupons for a free burger. I thought that was awesome. the speed of service won't affect me going again.“

“Cheap, and the best in town“

“Love this store. Its a one stop shop if you as me. They got everything you could possibly need in there. I want to give A BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE CHEF THERE ADAM!!!! The food is great. The people are polite and amazing. My son, wife and I love going there. Burgers are to die for!!!!“

“I ordered a few different things --- to test this place out. First the bad. The Chicken Carbonara Pasta was horrible. NOT Carbonara at all. Can't imagine anyone liking this pasta at all. I was pretty disappointed because it was the first time I have seen Carbonara on any menu in Buffalo (seriously, what's up with that?). But then I tried the Beef Samosa -- and WOW!! IT was THE BEST Samosa I have ever hard!! Will definitely get these again! And the Fried Chicken was also pretty darned good. Look, the menu is pretty extensive, and I am sure there are hit and misses. I'll review more as I go through it -- the Beef Samosa and Fried Chicken did encourage me to try more. (Oh, the Banana Pudding is not very good either.)“

“Best n Buffalo 🐃 don't waste your tym no where Else 💙🙌🏽💙🙌🏽🐃🐃🔥“

“Gary is an amazing man and takes pride in his food. This place holds a special place in my heart for many reasons. Thank you Gary for keeping this South Buffalo gem alive and unique!“

“Below is a comment about a plastic cup and a refusal to not put ice ream in cup. Grow up Your Petty and ridiculous. No other problems Exist in your life get real“

“Married a West Seneca native who introduced me to City Line Texas Hots! Fell in love with the flavor of the sauce. We left the area after 10 years and I have really missed those amazing Texas hots. My husband was a musician and he would pick up 4 or 5 dogs after he played most of the night and wake me up at 4 or 5 am and we would wolf them down...such great memories. I sure wish I could order the sauce to be sent to me...I have not had them for at least 3-4 years...I really miss them! :-(“

“Love the beef tacos with medium amount of ETS sauce! I've been a customer off and on since about 1977 (?), when I first had the tacos and subs as a college student. Now I live out of state, so I get to Buffalo just once in a while. This summer I visited and was surprised at the price of the tacos, but the quality is the same (Soooo good!) I even turned my husband on to them. We bought a volume to take with us! The counter associate was very personable. The place is clean. Parking was adequate when we arrived.
Question: what kind of cheese(s) do you use? It's perfect.“

“Very friendly atmosphere and love the drink machine“

“We were on short camping trip that got rained out the first night so we decided to venture into Middleburgh to look for a place to eat and hangout. We had a small dog with us so there we thought we’d have to get take out and eat in our cars. We took a chance and asked if we could have a rag to dry off the table and chairs and sit outside but two staff members dried off and moved some of their outdoor table and chairs around for us so we could all hang out and get food (it wasn’t raining there then but it had earlier). They went above and beyond when they could’ve just said no. They were incredible nice and attentive and not once made us feel like an inconvenience. My friends got a small pizza and a salad and I got the hot wings (photoed) and it was all very good. It was a pretty busy place between the restaurant side and pizza side. I saw stacks of pizza walk past us the whole time we were there. I recommend and I will go back next time I’m in the area.“

“The offerings your company makes for breakfast are just absolutely great. I was first exposed to your coffee approx. 5 years ago on a vacation to Canada and it is all I buy now (online), and have since tried your donuts, specialty type pastries, and hot breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and hash browns and they rank as my favorite breakfast foods when I can get them. I wish you had locations in Pennsylvania closer to where I live as I would definitely visit a few times a week!“

“As is tradition, my girl and I got some Christmas Chinese food, and this place just happened to be close. I checked the reviews, and I almost skipped this place due to the negative reviews. I wanted to give some fair feedback on both the food and our experience.

First, the service was like most Chinese food spots; food is ready in about 15 minutes. They told me as much, but it only took a little under 10. The woman was very nice and courteous. I have nothing bad to say except..

The price. Most things were a dollar or two more expensive than the menu, and as some other reviews have mentioned, they do skimp a little bit on the protein portions. I understand that everything is expensive now, but I spent $65. On this one issue, I think they could do better.

So how is the food? It's about as good as any other local Chinese place. That's not to disparage them. It's what I expect when I go to these restaurants. I wasn't let down. In fact, I could tell that everything was cooked fresh except the wonton soup. That may have been on the heater a while as the wontons fell apart.

In addition to the Wonton Soup, we ordered General Tso, Beef Lo Mein, Sweet & Sour Pork, and Boneless Spare Ribs. Here's my thoughts on each of them.

-General Tso: It wasn't very crispy, but unlike a lot of places, they do serve it on a bed of broccoli, and the broccoli was perfect. I would otherwise say that this item was mid.

-Beef Lo Mein: This had some of the most tender strips of beef I've ever had in a beef lo mein. This was the real winner 10/10. My main issue was the amount of beef included.

-Boneless Spare Ribs: The strips of ribs were also tender, but I've never had it served on a bed of broccoli, and unlike the General Tso, they covered the entire bottom of the dish with broccoli which lead to far less meat than I would otherwise have gotten. It was very good, but I felt just a little bit gipped.

-Sweet and Sour Pork: These were great and didn't make the ride home. They were crispy, double fried, and delicious. I don't usually dip in sweet and sour sauce, so I have no review on it. The pork balls were good though!

-To sum it up, we had a good experience albeit costly. If I got the same quality for $10-15 less, or just a little more meat for the price paid, I would have given an additional star on all points.

Maybe my experience was different than these other people, or maybe they were expecting fine dining. This ain't that.“

“Tried the fish burrito, seasonal during Lent. Delicious! Apple empanada so good. The restaurant was clean. Kiosks for simple ordering. Spacious dining area and kitchen. Staff was nice. A lot of pretty art work on the walls. Option to watch TV. Even an option to order a cold beer!“

“I was in Buffalo for an appointment. First on my list, after my appointment, thought of a fresh Sub from JM's.

I stopped in, Staff was patient as I was next.

I selected two of the Classic Italian.

I was asked for my Specifics...

I chose the bread. But the rest of the sub, I requested the designers receipt.

That brought two guys together and they verbally recalled the receipt. They both nodded and one of them completed assembly. Excellent process. Thanks Guys. They wrapped Qtrs for me.

I found it's easier to snack, while driving 70 miles home.“
