Chippewa St.), Buffalo Public Schools students make and serve lunches such as blackened steak with housemade steak sauce ($14), seared salmon filet ($15) and bone-in veal chop ($17). It's open for breakfast from 7:30 to 10 a.m. and lunch from 11:15 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on most school days and closed on Mondays and whenever school isn't in session.
