    Southwest Turkey Melt
    Kyle W.

    We had lunch at The Buffalo Cafe, and it's easy to see why it's such a popular spot. It has a small town feel that makes you feel right at home. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed. I ordered the Southwest Turkey Melt, and it was so good. If you're looking for a laid back lunch spot in the area, this is an easy recommendation!

    Honestly, amazing service from both the hostess and our server. The hostess was so sweet and made us feel welcome as soon as we walked in :) The wait time for breakfast for our group of 3 was about 10 minutes, and it went by quickly while we walked around the town. The food came out fast and was very yummy . There were lots of families eating together, and the atmosphere felt warm and homey. We had a great time!! Thank you.

    Arguably the most reliable restaurant in all of WF... Buffalo Cafe has been in business for years and it's not hard to see why... It's got that "Montana Feel" the moment you walk in, everyone is super friendly (you can tell the staff loves working there), the food is excellent, and it's a reasonably priced place to get a high quality mountain-style meal. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, they have it all at BC... We've never had a bad meal and have probably eaten there 20+ times. We've been coming to WF for 10 years and always stop into BC. If you're looking for a hardy meal before or after hitting mountain, BC is the place to go.

    We went to Buffalo Cafe after asking some locals where we should go for lunch. It was nice to put our name in, then go shopping in town and get a text when our table was ready. Our family of 5 all enjoyed their food. One of my daughters got a chicken quesadilla which came with bacon, such a nice added ingredient! Good food and good service!

    This is a really good place for brunch. The burger was good, corned beef melt on rye was amazing, but the fries really stood out. Staff was nice and quick on a busy morning, very attentive. No wait time. Theres street parking and a parking lot around the corner. Good location near the strip.

    10/10 My family and I ate here TWICE during our three day stay. This place has so much charm and the coffee is a must. You cannot order a bad meal from here - I tried a little from everyone's plate and everything was top notch. The French toast is amazing AND the hashbrowns are to die for! The service has been excellent the two times we've been here although it's very busy. You will not be disappointed.

    It's a very nice and cozy atmosphere when you walk in. We went for the dinner service and were served very quickly. I ordered the elk tacos which were enormous and covered almost the entire plate. The elk was very good and lean and I definitely got full off of this plate. I also ordered the huckleberry sundae without the chocolate fudge. It was yummy and I definitely had the essence of huckleberry to take home with me for my last meal. Overalls portion sizes were big for what you get. Thanks for having us!

    Took two small bites, but basically half a sandwich.

    Not bad. They should say on the menu that's it's a half sandwich. They do have good shrimp tacos though. Disappointed in the sandwich

    Burger with carrots. Sooooooo good.

We were seated within five minutes in a room with a view of the street. It was raining outside, and it felt nice and cozy inside the restaurant. Our server was very friendly and checked in on how we were doing regularly. We ordered the Tot-chos (half order to share among six people) and I also got a huckleberry soda for myself as well as the bison (classic) burger with sweet potato fries. For dessert, we shared two scoops of huckleberry ice cream (from Sweet Peaks), the bread pudding and the beignets. I loved the Tot-chos, and the half order was honestly a pretty big size already! The huckleberry soda was pretty sweet (I think it had 41 grams of sugar), but I don't regret trying it. The bison burger wasn't bad, it definitely tasted similar to beef, but it was a huge burger so I couldn't finish it. The sweet potatoes were also delicious. In terms of the dessert, I had gone to Sweet Peaks already and liked their huckleberry flavor a lot, so I was excited to see them on the menu. People at my table loved the bread pudding. I thought the beignets were not bad, but they weren't as good as the other desserts.

They had live music playing that was really cool. They also had a small arcade that has good pin ball machines and my brother loved them. The food here is also amazing. I definitely recommend a lot of dishes. Burger: 5/10 can't remember what burger this was but the guy at the cash register recommended it and it was honestly really mid I give it like a five out of 10. Brunt ends 10/10: these were amazing. I cannot stop eating these burnt ends. The glaze on them was amazing and overall, probably the first person I've ever had.
