Tonight we went for a quick dinner and some ice cream at Pautler's Drive-in on Transit Rd. Opened in 1958, it's been around almost as long as me. Seriously, when I was a kid I lived close enough to walk or ride my bike there, so it's nice to take my kids there. Of course, the restaurant, as well as the menu has expanded since the '60's. Stop by on a Tuesday when they have their classic car cruise night. They are located at 6343 Transit Road, East Amherst.
Another place we frequent quite often is Frey's Tasty Treat in Lockport. They have a large selection of ice cream and ice cream treats. They have a park-like yard to sit and enjoy your ice cream in (there is no indoor dining). They even have a wooden train for the kids to play on. They are located at 6186 South Transit Road, Lockport.
Also in Lockport (on the north side of the city) is Reid's Ice Cream, which has been there forever. They have other foods besides ice cream, like burgers. They are right on Rt. 78, Lake Ave. near Clinton St.
Nina's Custard is also a nice place to go. They are open year-round and have burgers, chicken fingers, and other foods, in addition to their ice cream treats. You'll find Nina's at 2525 Millersport Hwy. just north of UB's North campus.
Of course Anderson's, which has multiple location in the Buffalo area, is noted for their beef on weck, and other sandwiches, as well as their custards. See their website http://www.andersonscustard.com/ for locations.
Just last week we visited Uncle G's Ice Cream for the first time. They are located at 7070 Washington Street in Pendleton, just north of the Amherst Museum. They have a large yard with picnic tables (no indoor seating). They have a nice selection of ice cream and other treats. See their website http://www.unclegsicecream.com/ for more info.
