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.

We came here based on other people’s experiences and we can say that we were absolutely not disappointed. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We were able to be immediately seated but discovered that the restaurant soon afterwards became very busy. The food was spectacular, well prepared, fairly priced, and a unique fusion of traditional and contemporary flavors. They take cash and cards which is extremely useful and there is no mark up for using cards that is significantly appreciated.

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!!

New favorite spot! Came for Valentine’s Day, was a bit of a wait but worth it! The pancakes were amazing and fluffy, the house Hash was very satisfying and the French toast was delicious! Great staff, works hard and wonderful personality. I will come by whenever I can get the chance! Brunch is on point.
Literally came in the next day again and got the Sausage gravy and biscuits.

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 cool diner! Small so large groups difficult. But for four or less don’t miss this spot! Best breakfast around. Staff is amazing. I come when I hit Buffalo canal side. My eggs Benedict came with flowers. Reasonable prices.

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.

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.

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.

I have been here a number of times with my boyfriend, and I have never had a bad experience! All of the staff are very friendly, accommodating, and I can tell that they all enjoy their time working. While many people would complain about the small interior/long wait times to be seated, I think that’s just what makes the diner so much more authentic! Plus, that’s how you know the food is going to be amazing! I love coming here and will continue to do so!
