This Tiny Drive In May Just Be The Best Kept Secret In Buffalo

It's no secret that Buffalo has steadily become one of New York's best foodie cities, with new and exciting restaurants popping up all over. While we certainly love trying out new places to dine, if you ask around, you'll find that some of the Queen City's best eateries are ones that have been around for quite some time. Pautler's Drive-In serves up a delightful dose of nostalgia and food so tasty, it’s no wonder it has been around for so long.

You’ll find Pautler's Drive-In right out on Transit Road in East Amherst.

This family owned and operated dining destination has been around since 1958, serving up generations of Buffalonians and people from all around Western New York.

Pautler's Drive-In is open seasonally from April through October. On a hot day, nothing tastes better than a scoop or two from its ice cream stand, which is known for serving up some of the creamiest treats in town.

From extravagant sundaes to scoops of Perry's ice cream, you'll find all sorts of desserts that will help keep you cool.

Sporting a retro vibe that will take you back to the good old days, the inside of Pautler's is adorned with pops of pink and blue.

Small but sweet, the drive-in's menu has all of your classic summer eats, including steak sandwiches, pizza logs, and chicken fingers.

What would a drive-in restaurant be without delicious burgers?!

You'll find Sahlen's hot dogs, Texas Hot, and White Hots too!

Every Tuesday, Pautler's also hosts a Tuesday Night Cruise Night where you can find all sorts of cool, vintage cars on display.

This family-friendly spot embodies all our favorite parts of summer, so there’s no better way to dive into our favorite season than with a trip to Pautler's Drive-In.
