Awesome little diner ! If your in the area it's worth the stop. We went to a Bills game and stopped here on our way back to Detroit. Food was great and the staff and atmosphere was just as good.

When the staff is having a good time you know the food and experience is going to be good. Great vibes, quick service, upbeat staff. A couple of them even dancing to the music. Food was immaculate.

Eating in an old school diner is the best! We waited about 45 mins on a Saturday morning to get seated. They do text when the table is ready so you can wait outside. The corned beef hash is made there which is amazing and the coffee is so good! I am never disappointed eating here!

Wow what an amazing experience we had! Just looking from the outside this diner looks vintage…. Then you go inside and you’re blown away. Super busy but the staff were so kind and efficient. Service was amazing and the servers were very attentive. Food was out of this world! Milkshakes, Stuffed Burrito, Eggs Bene, Pancakes … you name it and it is most likely 10/10. Really enjoyed this place and the prices are very fair. Can’t wait to be back to enjoy everything else on the menu!!

An absolute must-visit for breakfast in Buffalo! Swan Street Diner completely exceeded my expectations. The food was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully made — I had the breakfast tacos (incredible!) and of course couldn’t resist the mini donuts with coffee — such a fun and nostalgic touch that made the morning feel special. What really stood out, though, was the service. I wish I remembered our server’s name, but she had round spectacles, a warm smile, and the kind of positive energy that makes you feel at home even when you’re just passing through a new city. People like her remind you why travel can be so special — it’s not just about the food, but the people and the memories. If you’re visiting Buffalo, this is the breakfast spot. Great vibes, amazing service, and delicious food that sets the tone for a perfect day.

Super cute cozy diner! My wait time was extremely long as I did walk in around brunch time! It does appear to be a popular amongst locals so I would recommend a reservation if at all possible. Food was delicious. Coffee was good. They were pretty slammed on the day that I came and visited them, but overall it was a good experience. I did have a hiccup with an order item, but I think it was definitely our error in the mixup! Patrick was awesome.

What a surprise this little dinner turned out to be. We figured it would be a nice experience to eat in an old school dining locomotive, but we didn't expect the food to be excellent! The hash was outstanding, the omelette was packed and not overcooked, made to order fresh cider donuts with chunks of apples, and even freshly made jelly for it today! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and great food. Yep.

Really great food with great service! And such a cute little place with what looks like custom paintings everywhere. Will be back any time we pass through the area again!

I literally never leave reviews, but for this place it was an absolute must. The atmosphere walking in was so fun, I love the vibe of the place. Secondly the service was wildly nice, super fun, and worked together flawlessly. They had the true diner feeling and experience which meant their space behind the counter was limited and they rocked it! Lastly, and probably most importantly the food was so good, they had so many options that you don't normally see on a breakfast menu, a lot of the items were "house" made so I knew it would be good from the start, and did I mention that I didn't see an empty seat in the place during the entire time I was there? It was busy for a reason. Go here!

Very cool diner. It's amazing the amount of people that can go through this diner car at a relatively quick pace. The food was really good and the guy that greeted us at the door was very nice. Update-Came back for breakfast and couldn't help but trying a Cuban. It's one of the best I've ever had.

Stopped by the Swan Street Diner on a whim while in town. Pleasantly surprised! The building is immaculate, super cute with a great story! Menu is great; lots of choices. Food was delicious and the staff was warm and welcoming. The only downside for us was how loud the space was. Between customers eating and talking, the noise of the kitchen and the background music it was a lot. But, we could see from where we sat the take out window. Genius idea! The owner and staff have thought of everything! Will be back!

This is probably one of our favorite breakfast places. The pancakes at Swan Street need to be voted best pancakes in the city. They must be cooked in butter and they are so good.. we always order a stack for the table any time we visit. Service is always quick and friendly every time we’ve been. They get busy on the weekends so be sure to get up early if you don’t want to wait too long.

My wife and I came here today after hearing about it a few times. The hype was right! I got the corned beef and hash plate, and my wife got the French onion poutine. We finished off with the mini donuts. Everything was delicious! On a Saturday afternoon we were told there was a 30 minute wait but we ended up getting a text that our table was ready after only about 8 minutes. The place was very busy but the staff was attentive and everybody seemed in a great mood. Staff were happy, some were dancing or singing as they worked behind the counter. Whole place had a pleasant vibe. The donuts were our favorite. We went with the classic flavors, and the donuts melt in your mouth. We will definitely be back

Went for a brunch meeting and I got the smothered burrito which may not look very appetizing in pictures, but was absolutely delicious! also got a glass of orange juice on the side, which was fresh squeezed and very refreshing. To go, I got some other popular mini donuts and then assorted bundle, which were a tasty treat later on to have. It can definitely be a little busy and somewhat tight inside of here, but the food is worth it and the service is excellent.

We weren’t a fan of the small orange juice (no refills) and the home fries were unfortunately burnt. Portion sizes also felt a bit smaller than expected for the price. That said, the overall experience was pretty good. We did spend a pretty penny for a family of four, but as diner seekers, we love trying new spots and appreciate the chance to check this one out.

Nostalgic spot with tasty food. Expect a wait for a table on any weekend due to the small space. They've got a great walk in reservation system that makes it easy to wait and get a text when your table is ready. Only complaint: it was loud. Mainly because staff that day were a little over the top and yelling to one other not stop about random thoughts. Don't get me wrong, service was good, but staff yelling out every thought they have to one another in a tight spot was too much. Would go again on my diner adventures though.
