"The beef is carved so thin and piled so tight that it looks like a single slice. It is in fact countless slices, moist enough to cause the bottom of the delicate weck roll to start falling apart by the time you get close to the end of the sandwich. Of course, hot horseradish is supplied on the side."
Michael Stern
"What a crock! French onion soup comes gooped with cheese and layered with a slice of caraway-rye. It is loaded with soft, sweet onions."
Michael Stern
"In Orchard Park far from the bustle of Buffalo, This gracious white house is an essential destination for all those in search of fine beef on weck."
Michael Stern
"Four soups were available the Wednesday evening we dined at Eckl's: French onion, lobster bisque, New England clam chowder, and this hearty, healthful chicken-noodle."
Michael Stern
"We want the recipe for this German potato salad. It is extremely bacon-flavored, vinegar-sugar sweet, and impossible to resist. "
Michael Stern
"If you walk into Eckl's during daylight hours, the interior will seem blindingly dark. It's the right atmo for a beef-house tavern."
Michael Stern
"A nice, old-fashioned relish tray begins every meal."
Michael Stern
"The same roast beef (here, ordered rare) as served in the sandwich is available on a plate, with all side dishes served on the side. It comes swimming in natural gravy."
Michael Stern
"The restaurant was established in 1934, but the building dates back to the early 19th century, when it was a brewery-tavern. It still has a distinct tavern ambience, supplemented by the aroma of roast beef."
