Lake Effect Diner

Lake Effect Diner is one of the last few dining car-style diners left in America. Lovingly restored by the Curtin family, this diner hearkens a better time. With old-fashioned milkshakes and a hearty menu of home favorites, Lake Effect has become a popular destination for locals and travelers.

The Curtin family’s decision to switch to a menu with a focus on meats, fruits and vegetables from Western New York’s farms landed it a starring role on Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” featuring Guy Fieri.
