Great food, wonderful ambience. There is plenty of parking but the later you get there the farther you will need to park. And if it is your first time dropping by make sure to bring your own chair, seating is limited as well. If you dont bring a chair you will be standing while you are trying to listen to the music, balancing your drink, all while trying to eat your food.

Great food, pricing, and atmosphere. Open and relaxing to walk around. They had live music which was enjoyable too. Love it and definitely will be going back!

Beautiful open space colorful everything ATM on site

Nice environment. Clean. Good restaurants.After not seeing the Larkin District in three years, I was quite impressed.Yes, go there.Ive tried Swan Street Diner for breakfast and Hydraulic Hearth for dinner. Excellent. So, there are two more recommendations.

Pros: excellent, family friendly environment with something for everyone.Cons: early arrivals that sit alone at each table and nurse their drink (soda) for a few hours while food purchasers are stuck standing and trying to eat without wearing their food.Either more tables or courteous people that are willing to share the table instead of waiting for the friend that never shows.I cant believe Ive got to suggest etiquette towards others when its obvious that people give the stink-eye when theyre shushed off by a person needing a stable surface to put their food down.

I mostly came here for the truck Tuesday events that were held during August. I had a blast! Live music, dancing, and tons of food trucks with amazing food. It ends at 8, but it was a great experience.

Would be nice is there were more seating facing the band, theres just the dance floor with covered seating on one side of the stage and byo lawn chair/blanket for grass seating area on the other side. Liked that a few vendors had set up shop.

Jamaican Jerkfest was great the food I tasted at La Verdad and Chef Krista Van Wagner were excellent. Music was provided by Olmstead Dub a local reggae group who crafted upbeat island and popular covers. I arrived later in the day and the line at Darian Bryans Jamaican“Jerk Hut” featuring colossal Jerk Lobster Tail, spice filled Rasta pasta and Jerk Chicken the man and chef who was the person who created the festival was longest KT Caribbean Cuisine was sold out I decided on La Verdad and was pleased with my selection of smoked BBQ brisket with BBQ beans and slaw. They were sold out of the Ch with chicken and burnt ends. Chef Kristas has been around for about 30 years and her roast pork on a bun with mango chutney was also outstanding. There were many shops offering snacks, bakery items, clothing and apparel, balloons and other items. Rum punch and red stripe was available at the full service bar. A large pleasant and happy crowd attended.

Seating is very limited. Food truck selection is excellent. Crowd management during covid is less than desirable but most people respect social distancing. The music was really good and its just a beautiful building

Outdoor yoga on Sunday mornings at Larkin in the summer is what I live for.

Enjoyed listening to the live music while eating delicious food from the food trucks. Food Truck Tuesday is 5 stars. Parking 3 stars.

So much fun to go on food truck nights. Music is great, bring some chairs or a blanket for easy seating, food selection is great!

Beautiful place to visit

ABSOLUTELY LOVE it here. Food truck Tuesdays are phenomenal, they have rooftop concerts. The park area (right next to fueling station) is so peaceful but also a great place for venues. Ive brought friends here my 6 nieces, and gone by myself aswell. There are many great photo ops. And theres constantly something going on down there is you ever need an excuse to go.

Always a unique experience here, whether it be for live music, or vendor stands and food trucks ! Very cool

Lawn chairs, whimsical architecture, live music, colorful furniture, food trucks, beer.....hula hoops?Welcome to Food Truck Tuesdays at Larkin Square, one of many summertime traditions in Buffalo.Fun Fact: The square gets its name from John D. Larkin who founded the Larkin Soap Company in Buffalo that no longer exists. Darwin D. Martin who was the Corporate Secretary for the company has a house in Buffalo that was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright...the most famous american architect.

It was a very satisfying experience with various food vendors, and numerous people to enter active with. In addition to the food vendors there was musical entertainment 😋

Got donuts at Paulas Donuts just down the street and ate them at the square. Looks like a nice place hang out.

Super fun location with lounge chairs and multiple levels. At the time I went there was nobody there, but in general there tends to be quite a bit going on.The chairs are modern and comfortable. The one I sat in had a large trampoline like seat.The lounge chairs would be really nice to have at a location like canalside, since the view here is not anything too exciting (in my opinion).Excited to go back when a few more things are happening.

Such a cute little spot in Buffalo. Love it here. Especially for food truck Tuesday:)

Great place and very cute. Love going to food truck Tuesday.

Delicious Food and live music are all you want. Tuesdays 6-8:30pm

Tons of food trucks with a great variety, beer garden and live music! Fun times!

Enjoyed polish kielbasa with sauerkraut...didnt see any Italian sausges...atmosphere was truly great...

Casual outdoor market area thats great for vendors, music and food. A nice place to meet up with friends and hang out.

Beautiful space, great music, clean accessible facilities. Had a wonderful time during my visit.

I went to a jazz festival it was nice didnt stay long due to clouds showing signs of rain. Ill know next time to bring chairs because I sat on the floor on a blanket but I totally got lost in the enjoyment of the jazz I didnt even care about anyone blocking the view because the music was beautiful

Very clean,fun and memorable experience,food was great , vendors was pleasant, my fiance, sister, & I will definitely be revisiting.

Good time lots of food to choose from and good music.

Love the atmosphere, the activities, and food truck Tuesdays are the best with good music and great food

Great food trucks and good fried dough!

FUN place, good food & Excellent Music@

Had a great time at food truck Tuesday..lines were long..and it rained..but we enjoyed every minute

Love what was done with the area, hopefully this renewal and growth will spread throughout our city!

Its a yes for me...Absolutely

Food truck tuesdays rocks. Venus is fantastic.

Love to go down here hope food truck tuesdays return however there are still things to do in this area

Food was very good at Fat Bobs

Hydraulic Hearth is one of my favorite places.

Great venue, for people to relax and listen to music

Great Venue, awesome music , they could add a few more Food Trucks - The Drinks at the Bar are so over priced !!!

Had a nice time for 716 day at the firehouse with the Buffalo Police Department

Variety of food trucks, live entertainment, free parking. Whats not to like.

A lot of fun good food

Smoking 🚭 should not be allowed. Where kids and families are eating...🙄

I visited the square a few days ago, and really enjoyed my time there. Live bands under a pavilion, food trucks, beverages... what more could you want on a summer evening after work?

FunFunFunLove the atmosphere, food and entertainment

Best burger.

Fantastic venue with a variety of options for food trucks on Tuesdays, and also a great place to bring a picnic basket to enjoy some shade in an upscale leisure park. Not necessarily a place you swing on a swing, but you can bounce to the beat of the jazz band playing at a perfect volume. A variety of different types of people come here to enjoy foods from vegan falafel wraps, to buffalo chicken peroigis. Great place to escape the busy city feel by taking a short drive. Free parking, handicap accessible, and easy to navigate.

Great place to visit if youre in buffalo, Every Tuesday from 5 to 10, over 20 foods trucks, different flavors, live music, different band every Tuesday.

Good food, could use more variety of music. Nice relaxing

Food truck Tuesdays. The chocolate bread pudding with warm bourbon caramel sauce 😋

Dirty bird yummy

Love Food Truck Tuesdays

Annual tree lighting. Great music, food trucks and atmosphere. An annual event

We had our daughter’s wedding at Larkin and it was amazing! The venue has so much cool space that it allows the guest to enjoy the wedding experience in so many different ways. People played lawn games, hula-hooped, chilled on comfy couches, hung out at a very spacious bar, ate and drank at cocktail/dining/and picnic tables, and danced on a huge, open air dance floor. The food and drinks (bar package was terrific and we added a Paloma which people loved!) were excellent. We did 2 food trucks (Lloyd’s and Fat Bobs) for dinner and guests loved that, too. So many guests have commented on how cool and fun the venue was. Event planners Bridget and Lauren were AWESOME—relaxed, flexible, helpful (with all that we didn’t know), and excellent with communication. The venue is so cool that we used very few decorations, and it’s a photographer’s dream so no need to find another place for pics. It was our daughter’s dream wedding, and I would highly recommend Larkin for events focused on fun and enjoying an outdoor, city vibe.

Working Food Truck Tuesdays is a Joy.

Attended a wedding here. Awsome time

Fun times, great music, awesome food trucks & free parking!

This venue is a must see - their Tuesday ~ food truck event and Wednesday ~Live at Larkin are great times - Larkin and Key Bank supply music free of charge by local bands all season long. Tuesday the lots are crammed with a wide variety of food trucks. The staff is stellar to say the least. Very friendly and outgoing. Worth spending a Tuesday or Wednesday there with family or friends

We went to a live performance by a band covering Prince and Rick James. The band was great. There is free parking in the ramp!! Huge plus!! The stage is visible from everywhere. They had food trucks out there with great prices! The bar had a limited selection of beer or wine but the Rusty Chain is great!

This was my first time going to Food Truck Tuesday at Larkin Square. I enjoyed listening to the music while having a bite to eat ( barbecue chicken skewer w/fr. fries), along with a Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream cone, from Taffys. We brought our own chairs and sat in front of the people who were performing, to raise money for Michael. They were absolutely awesome. I would definitely come back again! A wonderful experience! 😀

It was a good time hanging out with family at food truck Tuesday!!!!!

Food truck Tuesday! What more can I say. Family oriented and fun experience of walking around. With a family of four ( 2 teenagers) we each get up to $15 to spend on a meal unless something gets shared with the family. Great variety of food and a band to entertain.

Great

If I did not take the tour of the area under the direction of the Explore Buffalo docent, i would not have realized how important this area was to the Buffalo economy from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century. Most notable part of the tour was visiting the site of the Administration building, which was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. While the building was sadly demolished mid century, the loss served to galvanize what became the Buffalo preservation movement. Today, many of the former company buildings have been re-purposed and the area now boasts a healthy mix of business, retail, residential and entertainment

We were here for Food Truck Tuesday and had a blast! There were so many trucks to choose from...so much great food! The band sounded great, and though there were many people there everyone was calm and polite!

Good food

Loved the food trucks on Tuesday. There was a lot of variety. Nice, casual atmosphere with a band for entertainment makes for a relaxing weeknight activity. (the turtle cheesecake from one of the trucks was amazing!)

Food Truck Tuesdays!

A newly renovated area in the city. The area itself is absolutely beautiful. On Tuesdays they have food truck Tuesday I did not eat any of the food there but the band was great and I went to a restaurant across the street called Hydraulic. The food was delicious and the drinks were excellent.

Fun activities for everyone. Food trucks, entertainment. Easy parking, beautiful buildings, roads and sidewalks. Great place to bring friends and family together.

Nah...Street Fest unremarkable.Not many affordable vendor goods, nor variety.Music was nice, if u were going to have a drink and listen.30 minutes at best....went to the Greek Festival...

What an awesome time I had at Larkin food truck Tuesday. there was so many food options to choose from they even serve beer and wine. the prices were fair for the amount of food that you received. they also had public restrooms and live bands playing! plenty of seating available but the crowd fills up fast best get here early. would definitely come back again

Great place, food is very good, especially from the flaming fish truck, its like 25 different food trucks to pick from. this place also have free live entertainment, again a good time to be had . I definitely would recommend a visit on Tuesdays.

Best new venue by far in Buffalos rebirth. Rain protected huge deck. Parking is plentiful. If you see there is something going on, be there or be square. Hehehe A guaranteed fun time no matter what the occasion!🤗

Took too long for food

This was the first time Ive attended an activity at Larkin Square, and wanted to scope it out for future Tuesday events. The parking was close by in the ramp, a short walk to the heated tent with the vendors. We checked out the nearby bar and two diners, and settled on The Filling Station for lunch. Gluten-free items are limited, but daughter was able to get a salad. Everything is close by, and we checked out the handicapped facilities for when we bring dad.

Great place to socialize or just people watch on your own! I frequently bump into family and friends to catch up on our lives! Food truck Tuesdays are awesome! Music is great with most likely live band.

Loved the food truck selection on Tuesdays. Great music. Easy handicap parking, but people without tags or plates parked there too. 😡

Food Truck Tuesday is phenomenal. Would recommend to anyone. Very crowded but only because the selection is unmatched for a dinner time meal.

We went to do some quick family pictures here on a Sunday afternoon. Noone was around, but apparently management of Larkin square told our photographer we werent allowed. They were pretty rude to her; we managed to photograph outside and around instead of inside the square like I was hoping, but there wasnt anyone there. So we werent sure what the problem would have been. I just wish management hadnt been rude about it. A missed opportunity on their part to have a family taking pictures (free business advertising!)

Excellent location with so many cute events! I love coming here for food truck Tuesdays in the summer and had a great time at the Christmas tree lighting. They put a lot of heaters outside and did a lot to make the event fun, cozy, and family friendly.

Fun atmosphere. Everyone is happy. There are places to eat drink listen to live music. When thwre are no events going on it is nice to just sit and relax

Food Truck Tuesday is an incredible experience that is a must go if youre in Buffalo on a Tuesday during the summer. There are also a lot of other great events that take place in the square, including live music.

Its local, and they seem to have good bands perform when they have outdoor events. There are food trucks available if you desire a quick bite to eat.

Its been like this lately, the moment is to great to even think about cameras.Holy Moly the food trucks though. I finally after about an hour made my choice, Bison Sliders. My mouth was in carnivore heaven. The sauce only made the darn thing better.

Food truck Tuesday in Larkin Square is a must in Buffalo, NY! Enjoying the outdoors on a beautiful summer day, a huge variety of food at your fingertips and live music! Go to Larkin Square, you wont be disappointed!

Food 🚛 Tuesdays are back

The premier example of how a once-neglected area can be given new life. This is a wonderful venue for all kinds of events. Food Truck Tuesdays, live music on Wednesdays, and even private parties are enjoyable here. I highly recommend stopping down on Tuesday or Wednesday after 5pm.

Had a great time with the Food Trucks and the people! A great variety of fun family friendly activities, and parking was actually pretty easy to find.

Good location for lunch. Good selection from various food trucks. Great addition to the area. Havent been down this way since my dad was stationed at the fire house, so great to see the development. Rained the day I went but definitely planning to head back.

Love going here! Lines are long for the great trucks. Its busy and congested but that doesnt bother us. Free putt putt down the street. Love it here!

This is a nice place to come for food truck Tuesdays and other events. They have put a ton of work into the area.

Weve been to Larkin Square several times - our favorite being Food Truck Tuesdays with LOTS of people, great food choices, and family friendly with live music. Go early because parking gets tough after 5 PM and it gets insanely crowded too. Bring some chairs!

Larkin is a very cool space with the food trucks, live music, area restaurants, bars, breweries, & distilleries. I like to go to events there, but it always ends up very crowded. Its not a bad thing except waiting in line for food or drinks literally takes 40 minutes.

Swan St. Diner,... Plus the area is super cute & friendly; theres an old timey trian car diner across the street from a corner fire station, brick roads, shuffle board + there seems to be some sort of activity happening just about any time Im out that way so... A#1 place for breakfast ect...

Wow! First time here and I was really impressed. Kudos to you food truck chefs because it was a yummy night. I would highly recommend food truck Tuesday. Dont forget a blanket to sit and enjoy the music while you eat!

Food trucks are awesome but pricy. Polka band was fun. Great atmosphere.

Good food selection and atmosphere. Beer selection not so much. Good way to spend an evening
