Today was my first time enjoying Anderson's Roast Beef & Frozen Custard. Probably the best roast beef on weck that I've had to date (better than Bar Bill, if you ask me). The roast beef was fresh, full of flavor, the horseradish added the right amount of zest, the au jus was breaming with flavorful drippings, and the Cajun fries were so hot that they burned (that's how I love it ). A nice young lady took the time to assist me at the front counter, promptly. She was aware that it was my first time in the restaurant and guided me with a generous and gentle attitude. She told me what "most people" like and how most dress their roast beef sandwich. She made the ordering process easy and helped narrow my focus considering I was running on fumes and getting "hangry". The restaurant was clean, inside and out (even the restrooms were tidy). There were a variety of fountain drinks to choose from and the selections were unique compared to other competitors. Originally, was headed for the Taco Bell next door, but I'm sure glad my stomach and nose led me to Anderson's. Next time, I'm trying the custard and getting an extra roast beef to take home. A little pricy but I'll always be more frivolous when I'm getting quality food. Thank you, Anderson's! read more

On a Sunday evening, we didn't feel like cooking dinner. After a few ideas back and forth, we finally decided on Anderson's since my wife had never been here before. If you like her, have never been here before, think retro diner meets modern layout. They serve the classics here. Burgers, chicken, salads, sandwiches, and even hot dogs. They also have an ice cream parlor with so many offerings that you can get dinner and dessert all at once. There is a nostalgic spot back in our hometown just like Anderson's and that's what it reminds us of when we were there. The service is great here. They make everything fresh and quickly. We got our food to go and it was still hot when we got home. The grilled chicken sandwich was cooked perfectly. The chicken was juicy and the toppings were fresh so it gave a good crunch from the lettuce and tomato. The salad was so large and filling and you can never go wrong with their fries. We also got a small vanilla soft serve for our son and he loved it. It was a very good soft serve with a great flavor and thickness. Whenever you're looking for something for everyone in the family, Anderson's is the way to go. We will definitely be back! read more

We only had ice cream but it was so good I had the brownie sundae was perfect and everyone was so nice and helpful

A local person recommended Anderson's for their roast beef. They were right. Super fresh. Get the Kimmelweck bun. It's amazing. The aus jus tasted great and is not too strong. The curly fries tasted great. The service was done with a smile. For a fast food type atmosphere, this restaurant was exceptionally good. Locals know best! read more

I love Anderson's! Whenever I drive home to visit my parents, I come through Buffalo and just have to stop by! Since the pandemic they have an online ordering system, so I placed my order there for contactless payment! When I arrived they had a walk up window in place. I was able to just walk up, they set my order on the table, and that was that! Perfect! This particular location has a really cool nostalgic vibe with the neon signs and such. The inside dining area looked fairly large. I ordered the Beef on Weck, cajun curly fries, and pistachio custard. Everything was so good! I wish I didn't live 5hrs away! IF you'd like to keep track of the ever changing daily custard flavors, there is a calendar on their website! read more

We were there today to celebrate Greta Anderson's 103rd birthday with a $1.03 frozen custard cone. The Anderson's on Union Rd. had cinnamon as their special flavor of the day today. While the cinnamon was not on the same frozen custard machine with the chocolate so I could not have a chocolate/cinnamon twist, I asked for a sugar cone with chocolate on the bottom and cinnamon on the top. It is a terrific combination. Some of the tiles are marked off as unavailable; there was no crowding. read more

I placed my order via Yelp/GrubHub. Two kids meals, customized to their liking (cheeseburgers, one with ketchup, lettuce & tomato, the other with ketchup only, one with fries, one with onion rings, and half loganberry/half water on the drinks), a veggie wrap no dressing, and a spring salad. The wrap had the included dressing but otherwise everything was as expected. Upon arriving, I pulled into a designated curbside spot, texted 716-329-4589, and received a prompt reply that our food was almost ready. Nick, the manager, brought our food out personally and even suggested that we order directly from their website (as GrubHub charges a commission, making our order more pricey than it needed to be). Thanks Nick, for that great tip! We'll be back, for sure! read more

Anderson's Frozen Custard - Homemade sundaes - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cheektowaga, New York

Good local staple in Western New York. I was happy to hear that I was allowed to order the kiddie meal, even though I'm not a kiddie! I opted for my meal to be... a small beverage, small curly fries with upcharge for cheese sauce, beef on weck, and a coin for a small salted caramel pecan pie ice cream cone. My sister chose the same, but with sweet potato fries, which I preferred, and a milkshake! My other friend ordered the classic beef sandwich which came with gravy. We were able to sit outside and see a few deer as well as a rainbow. read more

We stopped here for dessert. My son had strawberry custard which he loved, my husband ordered a peanut butter sundae and I bought a Reese's pieces sundae. I told the server to have it to go hence why they looked smooshed. The staff were friendly and welcoming. All covid restrictions were in a place. The ice cream is so good. I am a Rochester girl familiar with Abbott's custard and Anderson's custard may be even better than abbots which is a huge accomplishment. The portions were generous. read more

I don't usually give a poor review in fact last time I was here on Union Road it was really decent as I recall. However after today I will not ever go to any Andersons location. Period. My friend and I were ignored by staff as we waited to order ice cream in the desert line. In fact the girl who was there turned away without saying a word and she proceeded to pull a burger out of hot water! Yep I saw it as she lifted it out with a pair of tongs and dripping water as she placed it on a bun. That's a first for me. . Another customer who was waiting also was approached by a different staff member. They told her I was ahead of them so that clerk replied that I was in a different line and nor did she offer to help me or get someone. Finally the burger maker acknowledges me and comes to get our order. As soon as she rang it up she flipped the screen seeking a tip to add. Tip her for what? It was a take out order with lousy customer service and a phony smile feigning nice with a closed lip smile. Oh hell no. I'm typically a generous tipper especially if deserved or it was apparent that they were working and genuinely cared. Not here. I did ask my friend to leave a couple of bucks in the cash tip bucket but $11+ for 2 medium soft serve cones with awful service that was generous. Finally I found the menu literally above my head at the counter. I commented to my friend how I hated reading menus like that and another customer heard me saying she agreed. Come on, do better Andersons. So then we went to find a seat outside on a patio. Guess what? No seats outside. Not a table or chair in sight at an ice cream stand. It summers end and COVID19 cases are rising again. Who's running this place? I'm so done with this business. It's overpriced slow and unfriendly. read more

Review of their sweets: Custard calendar: Check their site, as they post a calendar of their special custard of the day for weeks/months in advance. The offer some unique flavors like orange chocolate Marnier, Jamocha, pistachio, and chocolate mint. They also always have the standard chocolate and vanilla, and I think the vanilla Greek yogurt custard is always there as well, it's my favorite! Hard Ice Cream: I'm more of a soft-serve person myself; however, the flavors available sound and look delicious. The Oreo was loaded with chunks of cookies, the ones with peanut butter had lots of it in thick swirls, the coffee had plenty of chocolate-covered coffee beans. I think I'll try one next time! Sundaes: I had the Choco-Peanut Butter Passion when I was pregnant and it was the best! Toppings were plentiful and the ingredients were top-notch - cookies were soft & fresh, Reese cups were in big chunks, and there was plenty of coverage with the sauce! Ice Cream Cakes and Ice Cream Pies: They are handmade and come in a variety of options. I was reading the menu and drooling over the delicious sounds combinations. My fingers are crossed that I get one for my birthday. Deals: Sign-up for their membership, you get a free scoop of hard ice cream or small soft serve around your birthday (good for 10 days). I know they also have deals throughout the year - discounted cones, half-priced cones when it snows, free ice cream for moms/dads on Mother's Day/Father's Day. Anderson's is a staple in WNY, as far as I'm concerned! read more

I've been going to Anderson's since I was a young girl and I've always loved the variety of flavor options. As I have developed a lactose sensitivity, I was really happy to know they now offer plant based options. I had the coconut mocha and it was delicious. Perfect for a hot summer afternoon! read more

Anderson's Frozen Custard - Non dairy coconut mocha - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cheektowaga, New York

Went in during my lunch break the other day, never been here in all my years living in Buffalo since moving here. I got a roast beef sandwich and curly fries with a fountain drink. I really liked that the fountain drinks were all cane sugar, couldn't tell you what that is but it's delicious! Roast beef was tender and delicious along with the horseradish I got on it. Curly fries were crunchy but nothing to write home about, I should've got seasoned fries. The person working the front counter gave me free samples of the custard, I had never had it before and it was delicious! Wish I got something to go. Facilities were immaculate, could've eaten off the ground and wouldn't have a concern about cleanliness which is saying something in today's world. I'll be back to enjoy another time! read more

Pretty cool Icecream spot. Me and the whole family stopped in for some icecream and we all enjoyed ourselves. We all got different flavors and I tried them all. Coconut creM pie was my favorite. The shop was immaculate, very clean. The staff was professional and courteous. My one daughter got a milkshake and it was also very good. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a treat and a relaxing stay. read more

Roast beef sandwich is tender and cool. this is my first time here and unlikely to return. what's worse and call me old school, but they tell me that the register is going to ask questions and guess what it's for? A tip!!! Umm, i don't tip cashiers and this is a big turn off to me which is the main reason why i won't return when in the area. read more

Went there a couple days ago they under cooked my meat and put mayo when they weren't supposed to. Today I tried to claim my burger that they messed up on and they said the person who took my name didn't put it in the book. I even told her I said but I have a picture of the damn burger been under cooked and that having mayo on it she said sorry if it's not in the book I can't help you even though I'm telling them right now that they fucked up my damn meal. Nothing worse than getting ripped off read more

I used to eat an Andersons a lot but unfortunately there just isn't one near me anymore. So even though it's 36 degrees when I drove by a had to stop and get a chocolate shake cuz it's one of the few places that still makes their shakes with real ice cream. read more

Wonderful selection of ice creams. Very neat and clean. Great service. Delicious food and good selection. Ery nice people working there.

Ice cream was very expensive. Ordered a banana split without the strawberries pineapple or nuts and asked for more banana and they charged me for it. Gee thanks. What a way to rip people off. I also recommend ordering a waffle cone instead of a regular cone because somehow the scoops are way bigger read more

Anderson's Frozen Custard - Ice cream was expensive and subpar but this cherry soda was amazing. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cheektowaga, New York

Anderson's is a Buffalo staple! Their roast beef sandwiches are great, and pretty authentic for the area in my opinion. The real show stopper is their ice cream! They have hard and soft ice creams, along with a wide variety of sundaes, Arctic swirls, and other delicious concoctions. My favorite is the Reese's Pieces Sundae which comes with vanilla custard, hot fudge, peanut butter sauce, and Reese's pieces. You can add whipped cream for a small additional amount. It is slightly expensive in my opinion ~$10 for 2 sundaes), but very good none-the-less! Anderson's also has a variety of frozen cakes. I personally haven't had one, but they do look quite good! read more

I couldn't believe there was an Andersons in Buffalo that I haven't been to, but here it is. Yes, Anderson's is a chain, but it's a WNY chain, and there's a certain thing about it that makes it pretty great. They have decent fast food, and really really delicious ice cream and frozen custard. This Anderson's has a pretty large dining room, and it was pretty quiet when we were there. Everything was totally satisfactory, from the food to the ice cream. The employees were all friendly and nice. I miss this place a lot! read more

Anderson's is: Single dad heaven on weekends Reasonably priced An alternate to drinking all summer Very clean Great for very old people and very young people. Basically anyone who would wear a shirt with a Disney character on it, and it would be appropriate, would be very comfortable at Anderson's. If someone took me here on a first date I would order and eat everything on the menu and then never talk to them again. read more

normally this place is so awesome but today I got a cheeseburger and I had to throw it out because the burger literally tasted like poop. No i have never eaten poop but I felt like I did today. I literally ate the bun and threw out the patty because the cheeseburger was 8 dollars so i had to eat some of it. read more

Stopped here with mom for a late lunch today after running errands. I ordered my usual- a # 1 on weck, plain- with a side of gravy. The beef wasn't as good as the beef at the Main St., Wmsvl. location. Tasted old, kind of dry. Plus the typically delectable Costanzo's weck roll seemed toasted and too was dry. Weird. Their gravy was also sub par- tasted too flour-y and like it was diluted, again compared to the Main St. location. Overall disappointed in the beef, roll, and gravy but the curly fries were as delicious as ever. Maybe it was an off day. I've eaten here plenty of times and it didn't seem this blah. Also, the dining area was dirty- no clean tables- and the back rests on the chairs are uncomfortable. I love my Anderson's but this time it wasn't as good as at other visits/locations. Disappointed. read more

I've never been to an Anderson's before (don't shoot me, I'm a transplant). I was expecting a sit-down restaurant, not fast food so I was a little taken back. The roast beef is awesome and I LOVE having an ice cream shop for dessert to go. Half-price cones while it's snowing makes a great excuse to leave the office and run over for a treat. :-) Happy Snow Day. read more

Nice little ice cream parlour with both hard and soft serve, as well as a diner type menu (though we only had ice cream). Interior is bright and friendly and staff were quick and courteous. Just a couple blocks from Walden Galleria. read more

Anderson's frozen custards are yum! I went around 5pm on Sat. and it was not very packed but service was excellent. I was greeted with a smile and the girl there was very patient with me. Building had a clean atmosphere but at that time I did notice one lucky fly who got in. The ice cream custard is a good deal, but the roast beef...I'm not too sure. The roast beef slices tasted fresh with ample horseradish flavors(optional) in it. The bun was sufficiently decorated with large chunks of salt. For those with high blood pressure I would be cautious with the amount of sodium intake when eating any wecks. read more

This was just what the doctor ordered during a long cross-country road trip. It's only a mile off the I-90 with easy parking. They have been making ice cream since 1946, and unbelievably, have not started using High Fructose Corn Syrup. They still use REAL sugar!! And we couldn't believe all of the options available. Name a frozen desert type, and they have it. Ice cream sandwiches, cakes, sundaes, several fancy cone options, a 5 scoop sampler for $6.59 ($6.89 if you want it "smothered in sundae sauce"), milkshakes (make it a malt for 50 cents extra!), smoothies, etc etc. We didn't try the food, but it looked good too. Definitely has to be the best ice cream on the New York State Thruway! read more

I love roast beef especially when its rare, hadn't been to andersons in a while so I stopped by. Very disappointing the beef I quess sits under lights or in a cooker so it was all Brown AND the size was 5oz. To small for the price in my opinion , upon leaving got a artic swirl it was ok. Nothing spectacular here so Im still in search for a great roast beef sandwich maybe I'll try schwelbes read more

Great place with some amazing ice cream!! My son wanted a hot dog lightly toasted and they did the hot dog lightly toasted. The ice cream was some of the best ice cream I have ever had!! The roast beef was the best sandwich I have ever had, and I love everything at this place!!! The workers are so nice and make sure that you want everything that you need. Only thing is they can't pronounce a name for monkey poop. Only thing wrong with the place... Still gets 5 stars!! read more

Awesome ice cream selection. Love their banana cream pie! Everyone on the staff have always been super friendly. Sometimes, depending on the person, the portion you get for the price you pay doesn't really add up, but its probably better for my ass that I don't that get the extra few ounces haha. All in all worth the stop. Luckily there are a few locations around buffalo to enjoy this gem! read more
