Once distinguished by the big blue bison perched atop its roof — it will be removed as the restaurant completes its redesign — Pano’s on Elmwood is not only the favorite Greek restaurant in Buffalo, it’s also one of the city’s most popular diners. A previous expansion didn’t shorten the lines much, especially for late-night meals when the year-round patio becomes a prime post-bar-hopping destination. Breakfast specialties include the bargain-priced Two-Two-Two (two pancakes, two eggs and two pieces of bacon, ham or sausage), omelets and Belgian waffles. Gyros and souvlaki are available as breakfast sides and for lunch, while an extensive dinner menu features heavier Greek fare, fish dinners and various steaks. Pano’s offers a fish fry every Friday from 10 am–10 pm.
Beer and wine available. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner until 1 am daily.

"Especially good, if the Greek name makes you hanker for Hellenic eats, are the stuffed grape leaves or the beef or chicken souvlaki, spiced and grilled and served over a bed of lettuce, tomato and onions."
