10Best Says

A Buffalo tradition since 1837 that even appeared at the Pan American Exposition, this quaint German eatery serves up hearty sandwiches, highlighted by the regional specialty beef on weck. In fact, Schwabl's has received international acclaim for their take on the legendary sandwich and patrons can watch as they carve the fresh roast beef right at the bar. Start off with a complimentary basket of rye bread and have a choice of savory side dishes such as cole slaw, German potato salad and mashed potatoes. Expect to dine in close quarters and enjoy a casual atmosphere. Open for lunch and dinner.
