Est. 1837. They suspect Sebastian Schwabl invented the Beef on Wecksandwich here in the 19th century as they have served it since, but it may have been invented by someone else, William Wahr.
Obviously, get the roast beef on kummelweck! Their German potato salad is also excellent. Try the signature Ebeneezer Punch (Memorial Day through Labor Day only).
A decent roast beef burger. Id prefer horse radishmarinated beef with a little mustard on the roll but they are adhering to the original recipe. The roll does feel salty. Ask for jus on the side.
Once you have tasted one of these roast beef sandwiches you'll realize it doesn't get any better. Sourced from fresh local ingredients, you won't find a tastier meal in Buffalo.
I was disappointed, after they reopened after a long time. The beef was tough, flavorless. Fish was not too fresh , like fried them kept hot for hours. The shrimp and scallops were good , however.
