Burger Authority

Burger Authority is a casual burger counter on Main Street in University Heights, close to the University at Buffalo's South Campus. It ranked among the Buffalo area's highest-rated burger restaurants in 2025 and is handy for students and anyone near the campus.

It is a good stop if you want a straightforward, no-fuss burger in the city rather than a sit-down meal. Order at the counter and keep it classic with a cheeseburger and fries. It is a laid-back alternative to the busier suburban burger bars, and it makes a handy stop before or after a game or event on campus.
