A nostalgic place for most of the people who used to live near University at Buffalo South Campus. And even after 10 year, the quality of the food still remains the same. It is still one of the best vegetarian places to eat in Buffalo.

Amy’s I hardly knew ye… I’m a Buffalo expat and Amy’s used to be one of the restaurants I visited religiously whenever I was back in town. It was an absolute mainstay, and I loved the tatziki, the Greek salads, and the BLTs. Everything was fresh and delicious, the tatziki was rich and tart, the Greek salads were absolutely covered with feta, and the bacon on the BLT was crunchy. Anyway, that brings me to today. I hadn’t been there for almost two years, what with the plague and all, and I was excited to go back. I can’t overstate how MUCH of a disappointment the new Amy’s is. Someone (in a five-star review no less!) said the quality is about what you’d get at Subway, and that is absolutely accurate. Everything just… sucked. Wilted greens, mealy tomatoes, cold grilled cheese, salad dressing that was all oil and no vinegar. They’re now charging extra for cheese on everything now, and the portions are stingy. The two salads pictured had a total of $5 worth of cheese added. At the end of the day I guess it’s a small thing, but I was really tremendously disappointed at how much Amy’s has changed. It used to be my favorite restaurant in Buffalo, and now I don’t think I’ll ever go back again. Unless they make some serious changes I don’t anticipate the restaurant lasting much longer unfortunately.

Never in a million years did I think I would ever leave Amy's Place one of my favorite restaurants in Buffalo a bad review. I've been coming here since I was a teenager and I can't think of one time that I've ever had a bad experience here. But our visit there last month was a whole different story. I want to start by saying that our waiter was amazing. He's so nice and just a great waiter every single time. But we walked in, politely asked this woman with blue hair (and I mention that only so there's no confusion about who ruined our time there) if there was any possible way we could sit at a table instead of a booth since they're kind of small for 4 people. She quickly and in a nasty tone said "There's a booth open right there." so basically I repeated myself and she doesn't say anything to me but turns around and whispers to another employee about us and says "you can go in the side room". Then because our waiter was amazing, we luckily didn't have to see this woman until we cashed out. My husband asked if we could split the check 2 ways since we were dining with others and this woman goes (again with the most disgusted look on her face and tone) "I'll have the waiter come over and do it." So while we were waiting for him, another very nice employee came over and very easily helped us without us asking. As we turn around and let our other guests pay, the blue-haired woman is audibly talking about us. Like you would have thought this woman knew us and hated us or something. Literally insane. Hope her life gets better because holy smokes. I couldn't imagine her having to be nice for one second.

First time coming here! The vegan food was absolutely perfect! I loved it so much I got a job working for U.B. just so I could be closer to this place!!! LOL!!!

The food was really good and the people working there were very friendly. They had a lot of vegan/vegetarian options, I didn't even know what to choose. The atmosphere was nice too, a quaint old fashioned diner with random hipster vibes. The pictures attached are the Basic Veggie burger (side of chips) and a small Mac and cheese (side of veggies). I'd recommend them both! My only complaints are that the hot chocolate was super watered down and it was a bit pricey. "Chicken" wing appetizers were $12 when there were like 5 wings. It cost more than the entire veggie burger I got (which was 8.50 I believe). Other than that though, it was a good experience. I'll definitely be coming back!

This place takes me back to the beatnik type restaurant, group of young ones making a generational place come alive with a clean environment even though it's an old dwelling they are making an honest effort and living out of there specialty restaurant. We were looking for a vegetarian place to eat and the nurse from Oshei Children's Hospital suggested this place. I'm impressed. One less star because they didn't have the cookie I wanted, still they substituted with another item. Good work young ones😋

Thankful Amy's Place was open early Monday morning after an 8hr drive to Buffalo! Very friendly staff! They have an extensive menu for an affordable price. Tried VEGAN MAC N CHEESE for the first time- it had a good taste on its own merit (the taste was different from what you would expect from a traditional mac n cheese). The chicken in the CHICKEN SOUVLAKI sandwich was a bit dry. Their HOME FRIES were flavorful as were their WET SHOE FRIES. If you've missed their signs, it is CASH ONLY.

You can never go wrong with the Biff! Tried the eggplant wings, soooo good. A new favorite dish from my favorite place

We ordered a bean burger and pancakes. The food took 45 minutes to arrive when the restaurant was not packed at all, with some of the food being served cold. The burger was ok and the pancake is the only thing bumping up this review to 2 stars as it was well made. Service was horrendous as we waited for almost an hour, and we were asked 0 times about any refills on our drinks. When we did ask for a refill, they certainly took their time. We asked if we could be given a discount for our long wait and the waiter deflected, and was trying to not accept the wait was long. We had watched people order their food, eat, and leave before we had received our plates. He actually asked which tables, where we kindly showed him the tables and he quieted down real quick. He only offered to remove a $2 tea from our order. Other than the pancake, the food isn't good enough to return and face that type of service, let alone wait time. Hate to see small businesses not care about their customers.

Vegan friendly restaurant. I loved it! Very nice people!

Place is dirty. Got sick from the food. I had a Ruben and my daughter had a veggie chicken souvlaki. The only good part was the server Tallulah she was amazing.

I really wanted to like this place since I am a vegetarian and they have a lot of vegetarian/vegan options, but my meal was almost inedible. The veggie burger had a weird cleaner taste to it, and the vegetarian chili tasted like a can of tomato paste. I got roasted vegetables for an extra $3 on the side and they were so greasy it went through the takeout box. The staff was amazingly friendly, but the food is just really below expectations

As always such amazing food and excellent vibes. The ultimate combo is a chocolate chip pancake and the veggie wet shoes for the table! You can now also pay with card

A super cool vegan/traditional comfort food spot with a great vibe, great food and an atmosphere that brings you back to a day when we all got along and treated everyone with respect. Austin and Chance were awesome.

I used to dream about a place this cool. and here it is. Just casually existing. It feels fictional that there's so much magic here. The owners are very nice and clearly work to harbor a safe and engaging environment for community, connection, and an earnest and active act of sharing art. It ruled. Definitely goin' back.

Besides having the best vegan menu in the whole city, Amy's place is also a wonderful place that hosts many DIY artists where many other locations have not kept up. Also the Gyro & vegan mac rules.

Loved the food! So happy to have a place that's Vegan nearby! The place was packed too! I just wish the ambiance was a little better for my taste, but again the food is great!

Stopped up to finish off a birthday weekend with a friend, we stopped up early on this Sunday morning, in hopes of missing the noon-time crowd. Still busy, we were able to find a booth table. After looking at the menu for a while, my dining partner asked if we could do a special order, in which they obliged; it consisted of scrambled eggs, red lentil with broccoli and cubed seitan. This meal did not disappoint at all. In fact, we found this protein-packed meal delicious! Most of the wait staff checked in on us frequently, to make sure everything was good. It definitely was! Places like this are becoming more visible in every city, and this was one of the early pioneers in proving that vegan and vegetarian CAN taste good and be good for you. Although I love a good steak or hamburger as some people do, I don't look down on others that don't eat meat, and respect those that have their many reasons for going vegan or vegetarian when I'm with them. Only disappointment was that they didn't make the Earl or Lady Grey iced tea that I remembered from other trips. Will you consider switching back or have a choice if one wants it?

Absolutely love Amy's Place. Old school diner vibes, great vegetarian and vegan foods (seriously, anything made with seitan here is delicious). Personal favorites are the Gyro, Biffs Sandwich, and the wings. Breakfast here is also fantastic. The people who here are great to, just genuinely nice people serving good food. Give it a shot, even if youre omnivorous like me you'll find food here that exceeds your expectations.

Greg is great. Get a Margie and be happy. So happy to discover Amy's place is back. I rushed over for my first post pandemic Margie Meal. And let me tell you.. it delivered!!! Other places talk about chicken sandwiches, they can't hold a candle to this. Do you like pita? Grilled chicken? Garlic? Hot sauce? Can't be beat.

Be amazing as always I love all the vegan options they're delicious and you can absolutely tell that they're made was like a passion and love for good food that is comforting and delicious. Thank you so much and I hope Amy's continues for several more decades to come!

This food was amazing! I inhaled half of my tofu scramble before I remembered to take a picture.

Great service and a really inviting vibe. Bathroom was clean. Food was good, I had the combo breakfast and the french toast was incredible! The lentil scramble was under seasoned though. My partner had vegan wings and they were very hard on the outside, but otherwise really good.

Amy's Place kept me well fed during my college years in Buffalo. They have fantastic vegetarian and vegan food at great prices with large portions that almost always give you at least two meals. I am very thankful this place exists and I hope it thrives for a long time to come.

Very good food, great service! I had my first ever Beef on Weck, a Buffalo classic normally unavailable to vegetarians (obviously). It was a new dish to me, but very well made and tasted great. The “wings” (pictured) also tasted great, but the medium wings we got were not even remotely spicy. I’d definitely get the hot wings next time. The rest of the family really enjoyed their meals as well!
