“What’s best to eat around here?” “Where should I take my boss or family to impress them when they come into town?” “What’s a good bar to get a taste of the local culture?” These questions come up on a daily basis and lucky for us Buffalonians; we have a lot of fantastic choices! With Buffalo recently being named one of the top foodie cities by National Geographic and our booming development — new breweries, restaurants and even entire business districts are popping up like hotcakes!
This is why we are so excited to release our Top 100 Places to Eat List in Buffalo! From a little shack in Kenmore to upscale dining downtown, dive bars, food trucks, coffee shops; this list has it all! Why don’t you make your way down and let us know what you think? To calculate the Top 100, our data scientists used a technique based on the Wilson Score to compile a list of the highest-rated restaurants. This method takes into account both star rating and number of reviews to reveal which spots not only have top notch ratings, but also which are most popular in the Buffalo area.
Did we miss one of your favorites? Did our data nail it? Let us know on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram with #YelpBufTop100 — if you strongly agree or disagree with any of these choices, be sure to add your own review with feedback on any of these spots!
