3165 Main Street is a restaurant building in the University District, a half mile from UB South Campus. "Lake Effect Diner" has been a long-established restaurant brand and location for decades. The Lake Effect Diner is 4,305 square feet with a capacity of 50 and potential for an additional 80 included in a design plan for an addition (blueprints available).

The Vintage diner is the dining room while a new building was constructed that includes a large kitchen and full basement making up 2 stories of cooking, prep, and baking space. The Lake Effect Diner has been featured on the Food Networks "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" twice, including recently in 2025. Newly updated, over equipped, and meticulously maintained.
