Introduction
The Schwabl Family's interest in the restaurant business comes naturally from a long line of
Restaurateurs. Great grandfather, Sebastian Schwabl, settled on Broadway in Buffalo in 1837 starting an
uninterrupted service to the people of the Niagara Frontier. Sebastian's four sons continued to operate various restaurants including Parade House, a mammoth entertainment center, in what is now Humboldt Park.
After being open for only one year, the great Parade House burned to the ground and in 1898, Ray's grandfather John then located at Forest Grove on Genesee and Pine Ridge Road. This picnic grove and restaurant,
'Klein Deutschlandâ?, included a complex which featured bowling alleys, shooting galleries, merry-gorounds, dance platforms, and a menagerie set in a beautiful botanical garden which was probably Buffalo's
first zoo. It even boasted a quarter mile race track and a fine baseball field.
There was also a Schwabl's at the Pan Am Exposition in Buffalo - 1901.
John Schwabl's three sons, Henry, John and George, branched out across the Buffalo area and had
restaurants in places such as: Broadway at Fillmore, Genesee at Bailey, Bailey at Dartmouth, Humboldt at
East Ferry and Cleveland Drive.
Ray Schwabl, Sr., after being in the restaurant business for four years in Buffalo, at Humboldt Parkway
and East Ferry, moved to this location in Ebenezer (West Seneca) in 1946. Here his desire to serve his clientele with the very best in food and drink was always his uppermost goal.
Schwabl's Restaurant is a friendly, familiar place for those who would like to 'step back in timeâ? and
enjoy Western New York's regional fare of Roast Beef on Kummelweck and Fish Frys served everyday. Once
here, people discover that we also serve homemade german potato salad and over 50 special homemade
soups, as well as fine cocktails (made the 'old fashionedâ? way with all fresh ingredients - no mixers used
here) to compliment your meal.
We believe that we may be the longest line of Restaurant operators in New York State and possibly in
all of the United States. Even Prohibition did not interrupt Schwabl's claim of continuous service to the
people of Western New York. In 1956 the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce presented Schwabl's with a citation for being one of the Pioneer Businesses on the Niagara Frontier.
In August of 1999 Schwabl's was featured in Gourmet Magazine.
2003 brought Schwabl's to national television in a program produced for public television called
'Sandwiches That You Will Like.â?
In 2004 Business First Magazine named Schwabl's Western New York's - 3rd oldest restaurant, and in
the September issue of Maxim Magazine (an international publication) Schwabl's Beef on Weck was named
as one of America's top 10 sandwiches.
In 2006 both Artvoice and The Bee Group Newspapers polled their readers and Schwabl's was voted as
#1 - Buffalo's Best Beef on Weck.
2007 brought Schwabl's into two travel books. 'Eat Thisâ? ... 1,001 Things to Eat Before You Diet by
Ian Jackman, and The USA and Canada edition of the New York Times #1 Bestseller book, 1000 Places To
See Before You Die by Patricia Schultz. The Buffalo Spree readers voted Schwabl's-2007 - Buffalo's Best
Beef On Weck.
We were honored in January of 2009 to have been chosen for the Travel Channel Show
'No Reservationsâ?, the 'Rustbeltâ? episode with Anthony Bourdain.
In February 2010 Schwabl's was named as the West Seneca Chamber of Commerce Business of the
Year. 2010 also brought the return of the Artvoice readers poll of #1 - Best Beef on Weck in Buffalo.
Our wonderful customers have allowed us to continue this tradition ~ Thank You!
