Classic Western New York Cuisine
A hometown favorite since 1991, Silverlake Family Restaurant offers a welcoming, family-style dining experience just minutes from the lake that shares its name. With a long-standing tradition of hospitality rooted in the Gitsis family's deep experience in the restaurant industry, this classic Greek diner is known for its relaxed atmosphere, expansive menu, and community feel.
Whether you’re stopping by for a hearty breakfast, a midday bite, or a satisfying dinner, you’ll find a warm welcome and a seat at the table. Their signature dish—the famous Gitsis Plate (a Rochester-style “garbage plate” topped with spicy homemade meat sauce)—is a must-try for any adventurous eater. And if you’re visiting on a Friday night, the fish fry and daily homemade specials are local favorites.
Guests enjoy the full salad bar with dinner, beer and wine service, generous parking, and a fully handicap-accessible location. The atmosphere is casual, with plenty of room for families, groups, or solo diners grabbing a quiet cup of coffee.
With deep ties to the region, Silverlake Family Restaurant is also affiliated with Parkside Diner in Castile and Pizanos Pizzeria in Warsaw, helping to deliver quality across multiple culinary styles. They continually expand their menu, including farm-to-table concepts promising more & more local flavor.
Silverlake Family Restaurant has proudly served guests from all over the world and all walks of life. Whether you’re a local grabbing your regular breakfast or a traveler seeking small-town charm and big portions, you’ll find something to love. And if you’re lucky, you might even hear the legendary tale of the Silver Lake Sea Serpent while you dine!
