Anderson's

First opened in 1946, this local chain boasts seven Western New York locations, serving up the city's signature bites: wings, beef on weck and frozen custard. Their legendary roast beef comes in several varieties – original, beef and cheddar, or BBQ beef – served on a kummelweck, sesame, Kaiser or multigrain roll. For dessert, sample the frozen custard flavor of the day, which might be anything from strawberry or banana to cinnamon, or pumpkin to pistachio, and their homemade hard ice cream also has a wide range of varieties. For special events, they also serve up ice cream cakes and pies, like the giant fudge turtle cake.
