Black Restaurant Week Is Back In Buffalo, New York

Summertime in the 716 often means lots of events to attend while soaking up some great weather. This, for the most part, is a good thing. However, summertime is short in Western New York, so that means you have a lot of things to do and not a whole lot of time to do them in. One of the things that has to be on your to-do list during the summer is getting lots of food to eat. Because, just in case you didn't realize it, Buffalo is 100 percent a food city with a drinking and sports problem.

That is the case so much that we have the honor of hosting the best food festival in the United States.

While no one wants to admit it, summer will be winding down soon, and there are still tons of things to do and plenty of places to eat. If you need some suggestions on where to get a bite or find something to sip on, then the most anticipated summer weeks are on their way back for 2025, and we're sure you won't be disappointed one bit.

Black Restaurant Week 716 is here for its eighth year, and we've got the list of every restaurant participating in this amazing event.

What Is Black Restaurant Week 716?

The Young Professionals auxiliary of the Buffalo Urban League, which is a non-profit group dedicated to supporting community, diversity, and entrepreneurship in Buffalo and Western New York, sponsors a week dedicated to highlighting Black Restaurant Week seeks to highlight minority-owned restaurants and other food service businesses that you may not normally hear about. This year's Black Restaurant Week is set to feature several Restaurants, Food Trucks, and Catering Services from around the 716, and the several food options only cost $20.25.

In past years, Black Restaurant Week would happen in June, but for the last several years, the event has happened in August to gain some synergy with Black Business Month. The fun-filled activities begin on Monday, August 11, and continue through Sunday, August 17, 2025.
