    Chicken souvlaki quesadilla
    FX K.

    Freezing rainy spring April afternoon & we stopped in for some warm goodness: soup! They had Squash soup & Split Pea! We tried them both & they were delish! We also split a Chicken souvlaki quesadilla. It was huge ! 3 large portions! We ended up taking some home. Also delicious!

    Beef Souvlaki

    I really wanted to like this place as my husband went here for breakfast and said it was good. I also saw someone's breakfast order today and it looks like they use Costanzo's rolls which earns them points. My experience was not so good. The service was great and I could tell the cook was really busting his butt so I do want to give credit there; however the interiors really needs some cleaning and upgrades. It was not clean. For the food, it took forever so don't come here extremely hungry. After our food arrived I was really surprised at the "beef" they served me because it honestly looked like a Dollar Tree Ribeye and if you don't know what I'm talking about then google it. I was really disappointed since the beef was more expensive than my husbands chicken yet his was much better and they gave you more! Truly disappointing. Probably will not be returning.

    Great long-standing Greek/American family diner. Very friendly service with pretty large menu and great selection. Had the Holly and hash breakfast, would easily get it again. Pancakes look great, but weren't the best, kinda bland and dry. Over all our meals were very good, with a very comfortable experience. Great prices too! FYI, it is cash only. Probably going to throw this place into our breakfast rotation.

    The question is, can you adopt a family, if you have a "legal union" rather than a marriage, i.e. same sex marriage in states where it is not legal to do so. Well the answer should be yes. And this restaurant is the pioneer of campaigning for same sex marriage to be legal everywhere in the world. Hence they sell "Same Sex Souvlaki" and "Equality Eggs" and "One Rule For All Omelettes" and so on. You can even get "Fight For Freedom Frittata." If you so wish. What to get: Souvlaki dinner. I've been here just once, and I had the Chicken Souvlaki. The chicken was tender and moist and hefty and delicious and beautiful, as was the greek dressing. The pita was delicious and amazing too. The chicken wasn't my fave Souvlaki in town but then this is the best town in the world for American style Souvlaki, so that's not really a criticism. It's utterly AMAZING to be honest. It's very very very well marinaded too which always is the best way. Not dry at all. Compare it to Towne and Spilios and Wehrle, right up there with them. And Altons too. The salad was a real downer. It tasted soggy and old. Very disappointing because Towne's Greek salad is fresh and crisp. I won't avoid Union because of this, but it was a shame because had they nailed the salad, this would have been one of my fave places to go for Greek. I will definitely be back to try other stuff though. And if you don't want Onions on your food, make sure you specify. After all, they don't call this the Onion Family Restaurant for nothing. And after all, you ain't seen nothing til you're down on a Muffin. And my word, I have been, more than once. Way more than once. And once again, same sex marriage FTW.

    Coconut cream pie and coffee.

    Becoming a regular here. Biscuits and gravy portion is huge with tons of tasty sausage gravy. Local eggs. Bacon was crispy and not paper thin. Boyfriend had this amazing concoction called a Country Bennie which was English muffins with sausage patties on top, then poached eggs. All smothered in sausage gravy and served with home fries. (We were told by the waitress that this was a new menu addition when she came by to ask how we liked our food). Iced tea was fresh tasting and well made. Coffee is the local roaster (forget the name) but they make it stronger (or maybe this part of town has better water) than most diners so it was actually good. The coffee here is better than any diner we've been to honestly. Lemon meringue and coconut cream pies were very good. Also tried their fish fry which was excellent. Comes with a potato (I got german potato salad) macaroni salad or mac and cheese, and cole slaw. All of the sides were good. Another breakfast special was the apple cinnamon pancake with eggs and bacon which was insanely huge and amazing. I managed to eat one of the two pancakes, they're huge. The apples were fresh, the pancakes were crusted with cinnamon and sugar making crunchy edge bits. They were just fantastic. Staff were super nice and attentive. Restaurant was pretty quiet at 6:45. They open at 6am and close at 8pm daily. Cash only, but they conveniently have an ATM inside. We also went for breakfast on a weekend and while the restaurant is much more full then, it's full of older people who are quiet and unobtrusive. We love this place. You should try this place out! Just across the street is the ice cream stand made out of a train car. So if you don't gorge yourself too much here you can get a cone!

    Fish fry - off the special menu

    Best fish fry in town! Very quick service, and food is fresh. Get full for just $8.95!

    Campfire Grill continues to be my favorite breakfast spot in Buffalo!…read more I walked in on Labor Day 2026 around 8:30am and the hostess said I could pick anywhere to sit as it wasn't very busy, so, I grabbed a stool at the bar so I could watch the magic in the kitchen. A waitress came over with a menu and took my drink order, an easy order - coffee. They gave me plenty of time to decide what I wanted. When I remember my last visit, the customer service was a little lacking but this time, everyone I interacted was incredibly pleasant and very nice! About 10-15 minutes later, my breakfast was brought over with a variety of syrups. For breakfast I went with an old favorite, "Hill" size (three) Cinnamon Roll Homemade Hot Cakes with whipped cream on top! They were nicely sized and made to perfection. I LOVE these pancakes so much that I scarf them down in what feels like two minutes, so I put A LOT of effort into pacing myself and enjoying, savoring them this time. I've been coming here for eight years now and I will say, the prices have gone up but it's not prohibitive and once in a while, you just have to treat yourself. Buffalo has several great breakfast spots and Campfire Grill is certainly one of them. I can not wait to come back for another plate of hot cakes or their crunchy French toast!

    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.

    Oh my goodness... if you want to truly experience the personality of Buffalo you have to come to…read moreBetty's!! 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.
