Low-Carb Friendly Restaurants in Buffalo, NY

Low-Carb Friendly Restaurants in Buffalo, NY

When dining out, it is helpful to know which restaurants accommodate patrons on a low-carb diet, offering to substitute a green vegetable for the starch, as well as having a number of tasty items that are not slathered in batter or breading. We have listed restaurants that we visit. Below is a summary of our overall experience at each establishment.

**** - many choices for low-carbers with plenty of flexiblity with substitutions:

Bob Evans (Outstanding for breakfast!!!)

TGI Fridays

Gordon Biersch

Cracker Barrel (Outstanding for breakfast!!!)

Black and Blue (Sheridan Drive in Amherst, NY)

Hayes Fish Market (Main Street in Clarence, NY)

Eagle House (Main Street in Williamsville, NY)

*** - some choices for low-carbers with inconsistent willingness to substitute for starches:

Glen Park Tavern (Main Street in Williamsville, NY)

Gate House (Main Street in Clarence, NY)

The Irishman (Main Street in Williamsville, NY)

Creekview Restaurant (Main Street in Williamsville, NY)

Mothers Restaurant (Virginia Place, Buffalo, NY)

** - a few low carb accommodations:

Panera Bread Company (For breakfast, they will make you bacon and eggs without bread, if you ask.)

Applebees (will serve you a burger with no bun and a side salad)

* - no low carb items, you will leave starving:

Dunkin Donuts (We threw them into a tailspin when we asked for the egg, cheese, and sausage
without the croissant. They ended up putting it into a cup with no silverware.
When we asked, we were given spoons!)

Romeo and Juliets (locations on Hertel Avenue in Buffalo and Sheridan Drive in Amherst)

(I tried the Hertel location some years ago. They had no protein other than
cold cuts. They did not even have chicken wings! This is definitely a bread and pasta place!)
