Taste Your Way Through Buffalo—Without Leaving the Casino
Fall in Buffalo is a feast for the senses—crisp air, golden leaves, and the irresistible aroma of seasonal flavors drifting from every corner of the city. But at Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino, you don’t have to wander far to find the best of the local foodie scene. Inside our vibrant downtown space, you can explore a culinary crawl that captures Buffalo’s bold flavors, hometown pride, and love for great food. From steakhouse indulgence to locally brewed beers and iconic sweet treats, here’s how to make your fall foodie crawl unforgettable, without stepping outside the casino doors.
Start with Steakhouse Perfection at WD Bar & Grille
At the heart of your fall crawl is WD Bar & Grille, a modern steakhouse that knows how to do comfort with class. As the autumn chill sets in, nothing warms you faster than the rich aroma of sizzling steaks and the glow of the open dining room.
This is where your taste buds meet luxury, think perfectly wet-aged steaks, cooked just the way you like, paired with elevated sides like lobster mac & cheese or grilled asparagus. But WD Bar & Grille is more than just steak. Fall is the perfect time to savor seafood specials, like South African trinity island lobster tail or pan-seared scallops, or to explore seasonal chef creations that highlight fresh, local ingredients.
Pro tip for fall: Start with a warm bowl of hearth-baked French onion soup with Swiss and provolone cheeses, or go for a spring berry salad with strawberries, blueberries, goat cheese, candied walnuts, and balsamic raspberry vinaigrette. The flavors set the tone for a meal that’s as comforting as it is decadent.
Pair It Up with Buffalo’s Best Brews
Buffalo has earned its place as a craft beer destination, and WD Bar & Grille embraces that legacy with an impressive lineup of local brews. Whether you’re a fan of hop-forward IPAs, malty ambers, or smooth stouts, you’ll find a perfect pour to complement your meal.
Not sure where to start? Let your server suggest a pairing. A bold, dry-hopped IPA cuts through the richness of a ribeye, while a chocolatey porter plays beautifully with a grilled filet or dessert. Seasonal taps often feature limited-run beers from local favorites like Big Ditch Brewing Company, Ellicottville Brewing Company, or Southern Tier Brewing Company. So every visit is a chance to taste something new.
If you’re not a beer drinker, don’t worry. WD Bar & Grille’s craft cocktail menu and curated wine list offer plenty of pairings to elevate your dining experience.
Make It Sweet with Paula’s Donuts & Other Local Bites
No Buffalo foodie journey is complete without Paula’s Donuts, a hometown legend that’s been hand-cutting pillowy, oversized treats for decades. You don’t have to travel across town to indulge—these iconic donuts are waiting for you at The Creek Stop inside the casino. Fall makes them even sweeter, with flavors that taste like a cozy sweater feels: cinnamon sugar twists, pumpkin spice rings, and apple-filled delights dusted with powdered sugar. Pair one with a hot cup of coffee for the perfect mid-crawl pick-me-up before heading back to the gaming floor.
And if you’re craving something savory, The Creek has you covered with the flavors Buffalo does best. Bite into a juicy Beef on Weck, dive into saucy wings, or keep it classic with crispy chicken fingers. Pizza logs and hearty haddock sandwiches round out the lineup, giving you plenty of ways to satisfy your cravings without ever leaving the excitement of the casino.
Build Your Own Crawl
The beauty of doing your fall foodie crawl inside Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino is that you can make it your own. Start with a happy hour beer flight, move into a full steakhouse dinner, then finish with a donut nightcap. Or, flip the script, grab Paula’s in the morning, hit the tables for a bit, then settle into WD Bar & Grille for an indulgent late lunch.
No matter how you plan it, you’ll be surrounded by the high-energy atmosphere that makes Seneca Buffalo Creek the heart of downtown Buffalo entertainment. The lively atmosphere of the casino floor, the clinking of glasses at the Stixx Sports Bar, watching a Bills game live, and the buzz of conversation all contribute to an experience that is as essential as the food itself.
