Wayside Family Restaurant

Wayside has legions of rabidly loyal fans in South Buffalo, many of whom have been swearing by this place for decades and come so often the staff knows them by name. Why? Because, simply put, they serve diner food done right: classic, all-American comfort food; no frills, but service is lightning-fast and among the friendliest in town. There must be two or three dozen sandwiches on the menu to choose from, a build-your-own burger basket that's a hit with regulars, and a few nods to Buffalo's storied Greek diner tradition (all sandwiches, not just their delicious chicken and beef souvlaki, are available on pita bread for no extra charge). There's a modest selection of heartier dinners, too, including beef and turkey roasts, steak, stuffed porkchops, grilled or fried chicken, and a beer-battered fish fry every Friday.
