    beef souvlaki dinner (i think)
    Kay B.

    With friends visiting from Spain, returned to Kosta's last week. Every dish was delicious, the service was, again, terrific, and my Spanish friends were amazed at the portion sizes. Waitress brought to-go boxes for them without being asked. Much better Greek food than they'd had recently at a Greek restaurant near Rochester. What everyone had is reflected in the photos. Because it was a Friday, they didn't have their chicken lemon soup; instead they had a seafood chowder in a tomato base which was hearty and flavorful. Two of us shared one piece of the triple chocolate threat cake; sharing worked well because it is decadently rich and so very wonderful!

    First time shockingly. Went before the last home game at the Bills game this year and it was a perfect way to start our 2026 year. Great service, comfortable seats, and fast turnaround. Food and coffee were fantastic. Will definitely come back.

    House salad and lentil soup

    I have been to this establishment twice. Not overly impressed but people seem to love this place...must be me. My daughter and many friends love this place. Maybe I am choosing the wrong menu items? Just not feeling the vibe others do? Good service, good food, good atmosphere and clean bathrooms. Just not feeling over the top but the girls I went to lunch with gave 5 stars on all their meals.

    By far my favorite restaurant in all of Buffalo the food is amazing and the service is great everyone is always very polite and respectful and I highly recommend the paninis gyro

    Eggs Benedict breakfast
    Phil W.

    It's a shame we haven't been here before but that's definitely going to change moving forward. Walking in to that beautiful restaurant we were greeted like we have been lifelong patrons of this establishment. That treatment carried on with the staff being so incredibly attentive and polite, our waiter may very well be the best I've had in a long time. He had our drink request in no time and shortly afterwards he was back for our meal requests. The misses wanted to try something outside the usual and ordered the eggs Benedict. While not her usual choice they were cooked perfectly and the portion was very generous. The little yelper ordered the usual chicken tenders, they were cooked to perfection as were the fries.They got a big thumbs up from her. I got the chicken souvlaki salad, a heaping bowl of fresh veggies , feta and grilled chicken (a very generous amount of it too I may add). I literally had 3 meals off of this today. The whole wheat pita and Tzatziki were some of the best I've had in a longtime. Im looking forward to coming back again soon to try more of their menu

    Arrived here January 1st for the new year and the breakfast was slamming. The lamb chops were grilled to my liking, thick and flavorful, home fries were fresh and crispy. P.s make sure to add peppers &onion to the home fries thank me later!

    My son and I came here on New year's day and it was a 5 minute wait to get seated, we was greeted by a wonderful waitress. I ordered 2 eggs over easy, 2 pancakes, bacon, Texas toast, coffee, and the best and freshest home fries, my son ordered the lamb chop breakfast, those lamb chops we well seasoned and delicious. It was one of the best meals that I had in a loooong time. For them to be busy it wasn't noisy, the ambiance was great. I'm looking forward to going back. I highly recommend this restaurant for and outstanding meal and great service

    Hash Eggs and Home fries
    Russell W.

    Went for lunch and they serve breakfast all day. I decided on the corn beef hash and eggs! Eggs over easy with home fries with rye toast. Very tasty and filling. I enjoyed every bite. Great restaurant with great service and surroundings! I look forward to my next visit!

    Steak and eggs
    Nancie A.

    I loved Kostas. That's why we always go there lol. Our food was delicious. The timing our food arrived was also impressive because it was a large party but they are so accommodating. And our server was so attentive and kind. My husbands first steak came out overcooked. He let them know and they made a brand new one for him. No questions asked. I gave it a 4 star only because the temperature of the rwas really cold for me.

    Gyro time baby!!
    Marc G.

    A must go to if you really like traditional Greek cuisine. My daughters and I absolutely loved the place . We had to get the lamb gyros with Greek boiled potatoes and a huge Greek salad. The restaurant was very nice and the staff were amazing. Also on the menu is all day breakfast which looked so good. If in Buffalo a must to check out. Enjoy.

    Chicken Souvlaki
    Jurel H.

    The menu is quite extensive and could be overwhelming for some. But if you take the time to look over the menu, you notice right away that there's something for everyone on the menu. I really enjoy the fact breakfast food (not shown) is available all day. The chicken Soulvaki salad is huge (can feed two people) and comes with plenty of chicken. Definitely will be back

    Chicken solvaki salad
    Michele M.

    I'm a big fan of their breakfast! Stopped and picked up lunch time. First, I wish you can order on line as when I called place order, I was hold for longer than I'd like to be. Of course went with the chicken solvaki, always yummy. Also got a steak panini, this actually appeared to be a steak melt vs a Panini, and not even a crunchy melt. The bread was barley toasted and definitely no panini press marks. Will say though the steak was tasty, had a bit too much bell pepper and onions largely chopped for my liking, but still will say it was ok. Also tried the Tiro burger, this was my favorite. Burger was cooked as requested and well seasoned. The burger was actually larger than the bun and I wasn't mad about it. The fries were just okay. My family loved the fries, but I like my fries little golden and some crunch, these were pale and no crunch. The staff was very friendly during pick up, and food was ready fairly quick.

    Reisling
    Marcus W.

    Kostas will always be a solid go to. It's been around forever and they know what they're doing. Food is always good. Service as well. Met an old friend for dinner and we both thorough enjoyed our meals. They also have a nice reisling if you're into wines.

(Also- the hours online and Yelp/Google Maps are different than what's posted on the door.) I decided to see if the door was open in case the sign just wasn't flipped to "open". It was UNLOCKED, and so was the second door! I was able to go INSIDE the cafe, even though it was clearly empty and no one was there...no food in the display case either. I even called out "hello??" a couple times to no response. Why were both doors unlocked if the cafe was clearly closed (even though according to the hours on the door it should be open...)

I also like the fact you can dine in or even do takeout. Today I decided on takeout.. the serving sizes are very decent, and the prices are more than fair. I strongly recommend checking them out. Breakfast sandwich- choice of bacon or sausage. Really nice satisfying sandwich. I really like the type of roll that was used. Plus the sandwich wasn't greasy or sloppy at all. Breakfast bowl- For me, I was able to share with my wife. The to-go container was pack. Every bite full had meat, cheese potatoes, and eggs. The ingredient ratio was spot on. You didn't have to much of this and not enough of that. Chicken and waffle- breast was moist and seasoned well for my liking. I loved the waffle flavor. Whatever waffle mix they are using. They need to keep using it and never change up.

    This is a little late, but Betty's was absolutely outstanding! I have severe food allergies,…read moreincluding dairy, eggs, and gluten, and the only breakfast I ever get to eat is the one I make for myself at home. I honestly can't remember the last time I was able to order breakfast at a restaurant. While visiting Buffalo with my boyfriend in November 2025, his college friend spent the morning taking us to several restaurants trying to find a place where I could safely eat. After striking out everywhere else, Betty's was our last stop--and what a blessing it was! Alice, our host, was warm, friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure my food allergies were handled safely. I was able to order a bacon, "egg" and avocado sandwich made to accommodate my allergies, and it was incredible. I hadn't enjoyed a breakfast sandwich from a restaurant in over a decade! It was so delicious that I went back again before leaving Buffalo and even ordered another sandwich to take home. For anyone living with food allergies, you know how rare it is to find a restaurant that truly understands safe food preparation while still serving amazing food. I'm from New York City, and I still haven't found a place that compares. 1,000 stars! I can't recommend Betty's highly enough.

The vibe is so right, in fact this restaurant has a personality of its own, which matches its amazing eclectic selection of delicious foods. On beautiful sunny Spring, Summer or Autumn days you can enjoy the neighborhood on the patio or you can always choose to dine in one of their several comfortable dining rooms all of which feature art (Some of which you can purchase ) that will get you leaving your seat for a closer look. We were rewarded with two truly special brunch items ... a layered "French toast" that I stared at as a diner near me ate hers and an orange infused pair of delicious waffles. They were perfect and filling (This ended up as our only meal on this beautiful Sunday.). The quality of service matched the food ... we lingered soaking in the atmosphere just enjoying life at Betty's. When asked by neighbors where we went for brunch we said "Betty's" and they smiled knowingly. Once you're familiar with Betty's you've found a friend.
