Honestly, the beef was epic. I didn’t totally know what to expect but my sister tipped me off to this place. The seasoning on the bun alone is worth trying to place for by the tenderness of the beef was of course the real highlight. There were tons of staff working and the order was made super quickly. Prices were fair as well!

If you haven’t been to Charlie the Butcher in Buffalo, NY yet… fix that immediately.
This place isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a Buffalo institution. The moment you walk in, you feel it: that old-school, no-frills, authentic Western New York charm. It’s the kind of spot where tradition matters, recipes are respected, and quality comes first.
And let’s talk about the beef on weck.
Hands down, the BEST beef on weck in the world. Perfectly seasoned, melt-in-your-mouth roast beef piled high on a fresh kummelweck roll with just the right amount of salt and caraway. Add a swipe of horseradish and a dip in that rich, savory au jus… absolute perfection. Every bite tastes like Buffalo pride.
Everything is fresh. You can taste the care. You can taste the history. This isn’t some trendy pop-up — this is craftsmanship. Real ingredients. Real flavor. Real community.
Places like this are why you shop local. Family-owned. Consistently incredible. A cornerstone of Buffalo food culture.
If you love great food, classic atmosphere, and supporting local businesses, Charlie the Butcher is a must. Five stars isn’t enough.

Wow! What a true Buffalo experience and the food!
Where do I start, the beef on weck, the stew, Italian beef all just over the top excellent.
If you are in buffalo and don’t go to Charlie’s you are missing out!

As usual, the food was great. The only disappointing times I’ve had there is when I’ve arrived after all the roast beef for the day has already been served. My selection today was a traditional beef on weck, onion rings and a chocolate shake. The roast beef was lean, moist and flavorful, on a fresh and flavorful kummelweck roll (into which I piled the horseradish), the onion rings hot and plentiful and the chocolate shake thick and chocolatey. It’s my go to order here with the only disappointment only being when I’m not able to order! Highly recommend (unless I’m headed there that day!)

After what I experienced at ‘Charlie the Butcher’ you could not pay me a million dollars to return. What a nightmare!
First off the long wait at the entrance, there were only 2-3 people in line in front of me, yet we were wating in line at least 10 minutes to get waited on. Next, placed the order finally – for 3 roast beef sandwiches, one order of onion rings and one fries. No drinks. Now after paying, waiting for a very long time to receive order. I was standing with another one of my party near the counter commenting that I could see our food was sitting on a tray getting cold while the worker #1 (see photo) was carving up at least 3-4 more sandwiches – when she could have turned around and put our last sandwich on the tray – our food was sitting there for 5 minutes! I said to my friend, what the heck is our food is getting cold and they haven’t put the last sandwich on our tray. Then the worker #1 overheard me and said, in a VERY rude/nasty tone ‘You got a problem?!’ I said “yes, our order is sitting there behind you getting cold – while we are waiting for another sandwich – and you are carving up several more ignoring that our food is getting cold.” Then #2 worker (also very rude) mumbled to Worker #1, ‘always these people complaining’ and then they were snickering laughing in my face. I CANNOT believe that these two are even working with the public quite frankly. They should be sent to work in the warehouse or get a job not with the public.
To make matters worse after this awful attitude – Which I want to reiterate WAS ALL THEIR FAULT!! The food was one of the worst meals I have ever had – as well as my two guests – all in agreement. The onion rings were SO overcooked/burned, as well as the fries. I am not the only person who commented about this issue as well – on the way out I heard another individual comment about their burnt onion rings as well (to the #2 worker who said, ‘yes I agree they are burned’. WHY WOULD YOU GIVE THEM to the customer if they were not cooked correctly?.
Additionally, the beef as SO TOUGH – you could NOT chew threw it! We got the ‘scraps’ from the last hunk of beef that she was carving (the very end of it), and it was not edible. The rolls had SO MUCH salt on them, it was disgusting. The food also was barely warm – as it was sitting on the counter for as long as it did.
I also wanted to mention that the indoor temperature is FREEZING (they must keep it that cold to discourage people from lingering inside), the few tables that they had available no one wanted to sit inside because it was ice cold – but if you sit outside be prepared for constant wasps attacking your food.
This ‘experience’ was truly BEYOND awful and to know that for 3 lousy un-edible beef sandwiches, one burnt onion rings and one overcooked french fries, we were charged $37.79 is OUTRAGEOUS! We could have had a nice meal in an actual establishment with good food and nice wait staff – instead of garbage food and people who do not know how to act professionally. I would NEVER EVER recommend this place to anyone. Any positive reviews are probably paid – I cannot imagine the hype for overpriced grub quite frankly. I wish ZERO stars was an option, they do not deserve one star.
NEVER again….

It has “hole-in-wall” feeling to it. The Beef on Weck is delicious. And so is the Prime Rib Sandwich. The place is clean and busy. I thought the prices were reasonable. And I kind of like the hole in the waall vibe.

I had beef on weck once before but wanted to try it again while I was in the Buffalo area, so I tried this place. I almost walked out before I even finished ordering, the cashier was rude. She probably pegged me as an out of towner…maybe only locals are welcome?
Dry beef on a dry bun…um…nothing special. The fries were good though. I’m hoping there are better examples of this local favorite out there, cause this combined with the attitude was not worth a return trip.

It’s a diving diner, that is not focused on the anything else but taste…. The food was amazing, the cuts of meat was good, and it was fast…. Charlie the butcher makes great sandwiches and worth the stop…..

If you are looking for the hands down best beef on weck in Buffalo this is the place
I’ve had a few of these sandwiches in other places and did see what all the hype was about with beef on weck. Untill I had it here…..wow so tender and juicy and the horseradish puts the whole thing over the top
Also got a char grilled Burger and a brot with krout and peppers which were both super smokey and delicious. Should have traded in the hamburger bun for a weck roll…maybe next time
The chocolate shake and fries were also fantastic.
Fun location by the airport if you sit outside.
This is going to be the ONLY place I get beef on weck!

If your looking for dining elegance this is not the place. If you want great roast beef or prime rib then stop by. Check the eat-in or take home menu online.They even have great take home pies and brownies. Prepackaged take home meals as well.
