Shady Shack Ice Cream and Grill

Family-owned and run by Mike and Dee Shady, Shady Shack Ice Cream and Grill is built on good food and better company. With someone from the family almost always behind the counter, we serve hand-breaded chicken fingers, seasoned burgers, marinated chicken from Mom’s recipe, and hand-cut fries—all made fresh. Our soft serve is extra creamy and a local favorite, and we offer a wide variety of Perry’s Hard Ice Cream flavors.

At Shady Shack, you're not just grabbing a bite—you’re part of the family

Buffalo is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Buffalo follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.
