Today we did a late lunch at the legendary Schwabl's Restaurant in West Seneca. They have been serving roast beef for over 170 years! No joke, not much has changed over time, think classic supper club. Their menu is consistent with good homemade food with German undertones. The specialty a hand carved roast beef and gravy or roast beef on a kummelwick roll, rarely found outside of Western New York. Something about the fact that the place never changes from the quality of the food, to the white haired waitress in white dresses and nurses shoes. The same man has been carving roast beef behind the long wood bar for my entire life. And we always order the same thing, roast beef.
Service is a bit on the slow but that's just because it takes a minute to make homemade food and quarters are tight so be prepared to rub elbows with the people next to you... remember it's all about family.
Overall it was a good day. I am getting a bit anxious to return home but in the mean time I'll enjoy watching football, making popcorn, playing cards and eating cherry pie with my family.
