    Quick post-voting dinner with the hubbs.
    Tara K.

    I am partial to greasy-spoon local diners that attract a more seasoned, silvery clientele. It just gives me such warm nostalgia-feels for all the times I sat in places like that with my Gram. And Wehrle Diner perfectly fits this bill. The setting is unassuming and homey, with plenty of booths. The staff is inviting, with an edge of diner-gruff. And the menu is simple and affordable. You will find your typical diner burgers, sandwiches, wraps, Greek options, breakfast all day, and comfort-food dinners, like spaghetti and meatloaf. On our first visit, the waitress told us to sit wherever we'd like. We picked a booth in the front window. It was comfortable, and soothing to watch the Harlem-traffic-circles traffic go by. I asked if they had decaf tea, which was a quick 'yes', and the hubbs had a cup of coffee. My tea was served with a cup of hot water, and that sweet little silver side pot. For eats, my husband ordered the Wehrle Burger, which is topped with bacon and a fried egg. I threw the waitress a curveball. I said if it's a total no-go, no problem, but I asked if they could do the Reuben with a veggie burger instead of corned beef (I am vegetarian). At first she shook her head in confusion, which would have been totally fine as I was ordering off the menu. But then she came around and said, "Yeah, you know what, I think we can do that." I told her she made my day, as I was craving some kraut-and-thousand island flavors, just sans-meat. The restaurant was moderately busy, but our food didn't take long to arrive. My husband's Wehrle burger was HUGE--a thick juicy patty, overflowing off the edges of the big fresh bun. He had to start it with a fork and knife to shave it down a bit, before heaving the hefty beast up into his mouth with his hands. It was a mammoth and scrumptious burger. :-D We both had fries with our sandwiches, which were served steamy hot. They were typical diner fries, not too skinny, not as big as steak fries, but fluffy on the inside with a little crisp on the outside. A crunchy, cold pickle spear finished off each of our plates. As for my impromptu veggie burger Reuben, it was a pretty good curveball. The flavors I was hoping for were all there, with gooey melted swiss, and tangy thousand island and kraut. I would have liked a bit more kraut, it was a little under-stuffed IMHO. But for the price and the kindness to make it, I can't complain much. And the fact that this mom-and-pop old-school diner has veggie burgers on the menu at all is a nice option. Regarding the service, like everywhere else these days, they are understaffed. It was a bit busy when we were in at dinner time, and for a while it looked like our waitress was the only server. She didn't bring drink refills, and forgot a side salad my husband ordered, but we were not charged for it. Eventually a second waitress appeared, who did bring more coffee for my husband, but he never did get a water refill. For now, I'll let these service shortcomings slide, as it is tough times staffing-wise for all restaurants. Under normal circumstances, I may let it go too, since I sort of expect an Ursula'esque caliber of waitress when I come to a kitschy old-school diner. It adds to the charm. And the food was fully satisfying, and priced well (our total bill for two with drinks came to $28). So we'll be back to eat our way though some more of the menu options, and enjoy the throwback vibes, for sure.

    Wehrle are you going

    If this diner were frequented by sheep, it would be known as the Woolly Diner. What to get: Chicken Souvlaki Dinner, or Open Chicken Souvlaki for the smaller appetite. My recent experiences here were nothing short of infuriating, but I still have plenty of respect and love for the diner despite the price hikes, oftentimes horrendous service, and mediocre tasting food. It should really get a 3 by now, but I'm going to stick to supporting these local souvlaki places even though they can't all be Apollo on South Park. Mixed reviews so I went here not knowing what to expect, but I came upon one of the best diners in Buffalo. Recently I went back for a sit-down meal and it was even better than it is for take out. Some of the waitresses are "ridiculously good looking" but that has nothing to do with why I like it here. Every bite of the food was decent. The salad wasn't bad. The chicken was hot, large portion, juicy, not too bad. The prices were cheap. The Greek Oil was fantastic. Buffalo specializes in Chicken Souvlaki, and this is one of the very best examples of it. The only thing I wasn't into at all was the chocolate milkshake. It tasted a bit too much like chocolate milk and didn't do it for me, so I'd skip the shake if I were you and focus on the food. But seriously, ignore the bad reviews. It's a typical Greek Diner, and Buffalo has many of them, it's not bad but it's not the best. Apollo, Family Tree, Towne, Alton's are the other really good ones but Apollo is a class apart. Buffalo Joe's and Lake Effect are the best all-American non-Greek diners. If this diner was owned by BMX experts it would be known as the Wheelie Diner. For take out, I've only had one thing, and that was the Open Chicken Souvlaki. It reminded me very much of the food at Spilios, one of my favourites, which closed down. If this diner were frequented by cunning spies, it would be known as the Wily Diner. And if this diner were frequented by country star Mr. "Beer For My Horses" Nelson, it would be known as the Willie Diner. As for the price, it was under $10 for this, the dinner is a little more and you get a larger portion of souvlaki and some potatoes, but I haven't tried that so I can't comment on it. But now it's more like $12 for a much less impressive dish, sadly. If this diner were frequented by kids in plastic boots it would be known as the Wellie Diner. My last point is that two of the waitresses here are super cute, including the one that served me, who came in to work right when I was walking in, and even though she hadn't even taken off her coat yet, quickly rang me up so that I wouldn't have to wait. If this diner were frequented by South Park's own Ms. Testaberger, it would be known as the Wendy Diner. So definitely give this place a try. Keep the little local places in business. Unfortunately, this diner is frequented by escaped inmates from Alden, NY, so it is changing its name to the Wende Diner.

    Wehrle special that I asked to have without ham, which came with toast. I liked it, and the restaurant was very cozy.

    We came for breakfast today. I liked the Wehrle special, and ordered it without ham, which was good. My husband liked the vegetarian omelette. Very cozy neighborhood restaurant.

    I've only been to Wehrle twice. The first time was a while back, I don't remember what I ordered, and I couldn't tell you how it tasted. But it must have been somewhat decent for me to randomly think of this place one morning, and think, "wow I haven't been there in a while, let's go!". I recently came here on a Sunday morning. Online I read they open at 8am, but when I was reading the signs coming in, and the front of their menu, it read 7am. Waiting in my car a few extra minutes I guess wasn't too bad. You could tell walking in they had their regular guys - who sit up at the counter and have coffee. We were told by Christina, who was our waitress, we could sit wherever, and we picked a booth along the windows. Even though it was seven in the morning, I ended up ordering the open chicken souvlaki which ended up being a very good size. The chicken was tender, light on the feta cheese, ended up asking for an extra side. You only receive two small pieces of pita bread, it's more like half of a full pita and then cut in half again. I also ordered another side of pita bread as well. I opted for tzatziki sauce instead of their dill sauce, which is apparently different from one another. The tzatziki was flavorless, I ended up adding salt and pepper to it. It tasted like flavorless thick Greek yogurt with chopped up cucumbers, and it looked bland too. Maybe I'll try the dill sauce next time? I also asked for a side of Gyro, which was good. I ate mine with mustard. I believe I received either three or four pieces. My first complaint is the Greek dressing situation. It's shared. They put it in those ugly, greasy, dressing bottles, where the cap doesn't fit all the way on, and your left there wondering how you're supposed to mix the dressing together when all the seasoning is on the bottom, and the oil is floating on top. Was that considered a run on sentence? Is it too hard to give someone a side of it, like maybe in a plastic cup? I ended up holding the cap tight and shaking lightly, hoping it mixed thoroughly. It's honestly a pet peeve of mine, that I won't shake. My last thought is how long does it sit in that bottle before they clean it out, wash the bottle, then put fresh in? OK rant about ugly dressing bottles, over. Our waitress was attentive, she wasn't busy, had a few tables as well as ours. I wasn't made to feel like family, as I expected to feel from a somewhat small diner. I guess there was a customer service interaction lacking. I'm very needy as some would put it, I ask too many questions, I seem to always need something, if I say thank you, I don't expect an "your welcome" back everytime, but at least once would have been nice. I like to feel acknowledged, and I kind of felt that, that was lacking. I don't know if they expected to be massively busy that Sunday, but when I was cashing out, there were about four waitresses who had just got on the clock when two were already on. It felt somewhat too many for such a small establishment, but who knows, maybe they get those kinds of crowds.

    Awesome giant burger with egg and bacon.

    Not sure why this little diner on the Harlem traffic circle between the 3 pharmacies doesn't get more business - especially when Lake Effect Diner's customer service is slowing down. Large parking lot right across from Walgreen's. Free wi-fi. This is truly a retro diner - booths and counters. The menu is straight forward, cost effective, and the service is friendly. This is a much more comfortable diner than Athens which is further south on Harlem. I had a beef liver dinner one night - beautifully pan seared tender. Most recently, I got a burger platter that had an egg on it. I had a choice of potatoes - fries, greek, homefries or mash. The greek potatoes was a give-away that this place must be another Greek-owned-originated diner. To my delight, a giant half pound burger showed up. They ask you how you want it done, and mine was done a perfect medium. We've also been here for breakfast where they have inexpensive breakfast specials before 10am. My only criticism is that the diner menu isn't particularly different than any other diner in town. At least Lake Effect has some interesting innovations on their menu but you pay for it in time and money. For a fast friendly local meal, definitely check out Wehrle.

    Souvlaki omelette
    Arthur H.

    I had a chicken souvlaki skillet for breakfast for the first time and it was pretty good. I love the way that they have the menu, one with specials on it and the other was a regular menu. I wasn't to much of a fan for the coffee, don't really know if that really mean a lot for some people but my over all experience was nice and the waitress was even nicer.

    This isn't somewhere we go very often, and tonight I was reminded of why. My son had an appointment up the road, so it was convenient. Too bad it was only convenient. There were only about 3 other tables of diners when the three of us entered, so the hostess told us to sit anywhere. Once we were seated, the server took our drink order pretty quickly, but that was the end of the positives. When she came back to take our order (close to 10 minutes after we were ready) she sat down next to my son. She doesn't know us. She smelled like smoke. My son was extremely uncomfortable, both because she was sitting close to him and because he has asthma and the smoke was starting to set it off. Then we waited. The couple of times we've been here before it didn't take more than 10-15 minutes for our order to come, and since it wasn't as busy as those other times both boys were annoyed with the 35-40 minute wait time. (2 omelettes and 1 eggs Benedict) The home fries tasted off. The hollandaise was obviously a powdered mix snd tasted more like powdered potatoes than hollandaise. The chicken in the Mediterranean omelette had some bits that weren't cooked through. All three meals were below temperature. As we were finishing up, our server sat at another table and began loudly discussing how "one of my doctors suggested I go to a support group." She sat there for several minutes discussing her objections before getting up and loudly asking if anyone needed anything. (She was the only server, and there were muttered replies from nearly every table -- now a total of 5 -- that they were all set.) There will not be another visit to this restaurant in the near future. In fact, while my sons are too polite to complain to waitstaff, I'm sure they'll remind me about this experience if I forget and suggest we eat here again.

That is to say, that first cup of coffee should have some cream and bliss in its confines. Such zen calm is caught before the crowds descend on the breakfast rush at the Swan St Diner. The long therapeutic hug that your stomach needs awaits in the early morning hours at Swan Street. In addition to the damn fine cup of coffee they brew, breakfast is there for you. from sunny side up eggs & bacon to Blueberry pancakes, the skillful kitchen crew gets it, gets me, and along with a glass of the fresh squeezed oJ, i always depart feeling like the day ahead can at least be solved a little easier since I fueled up among great food, adorably tasty hot donuts, proper coffee, laid back groovy tunes and an awesome staff, some of which took pride in having my coffee sitting on the table. I might be a tad predictable (guess I'm there with some frequency), but that has its upsides. First hour of the day has the staff ready and the groovy tunes to go along with the great food will get your day going right.

    Campfire Grill is our number 1 Favorite Breakfast place in Western New York…read more We arrived at about 11:00 AM Tuesday morning, and we're very pleased to be seated right away. We traveled a very far distance to enjoy Campfire Grill, and often the line for tables goes out the door. Today I ordered one of the specialty breakfasts, the Breakfast Flatbread which is two eggs, hollandaise, bacon, spinach, and Roma tomatoes over a crispy flatbread. I'm going to go out on a limb say this is now my most favorite breakfast. This dish comes with a choice of campfire potatoes or fresh fruit cup. Today I ordered the fresh fruit cup, and it was very delicious. Fresh grapes, pineapple, and melons. I would order this again. My husband ordered the cattle melt. This has to be seen to be believed. It's a mountain of a breakfast sandwich. Loaded high with sliced roast beef, two eggs, melted cheese, mushrooms, peppers and onions all stacked up on a grilled thick cut sourdough bread. It was so huge, that he had to bring half of it home in a box. He thoroughly enjoyed this melt sandwich. Finally, we also ordered the Griddle Toast Logs because, frankly this is the real reason we come to Campfire Grill. French toast slices rolled around a core of fresh, strawberries, and sweet and cream cheese, grilled crisp, and covered with more whipped cream and fresh berries. Truth be told, we could not even dive into them until we got home because we were so full with our entrées.. But they didn't last more than a few minutes after we returned home. The decor is reminiscent of our days of family camping trips, which always featured over the top breakfast, and very indulgent campfire menus. Poster is on the walls, included, moose, fish, bears. Really takes us back to our childhood vacations in the woods

Service was quick & friendly. I appreciated being offered coffee refills before I needed ti ask. I ordered the fishermans favorite. It's an omelet loaded with crabmeat, shrimp, and spinach. It was delicious! The omelet was light and fluffy. There was plenty of filling, seafood in every bite. And the hollandaise sauce was flavorful. It included home fies and toast. Why does rye toast always taste better when eaten out? Plenty of leftover to take home for dinner. 2026- 16

The pulled chicken for me was a stand out, so good! 10 piece chicken wings, cheeseburger with fries, pizza logs and crab cake platter. For our sides we tried the mac and cheese, pasta salad, baked beans, mash potatoes and sweet potatoe fries. Everything was good and would get again, except the crab cakes. These were just not good, very fishy, and burnt. The pizza logs were huge! The Mac and cheese had no seasoning, but was cheesy and after little salt and pepper wasn't to bad. Definitely on my top three favorite BBQ spots! I forgot pictures, but enjoy the video!
