While looking for a good morning meal, this place was recommended and so our group couldn't resist from eating here.....twice. Lots of varieties of breakfast food. When you go in, check out the specials for the day on the chalkboard. I was particularly looking for huckleberry pancakes, but they were out of huckleberries :-( Our second visit didn't go as well as our first simply because of the service. Food was great, but waitress must've gotten out on the wrong side of the bed. I felt sorry for her as she annoyed the majority of our group with impatient looks and exasperated eye rolling and in return got more demanding customers. I just sat and let them handle their issues. Maybe it was just a busy morning, maybe not. So, I would have to say the food is great....service varies depending on the waitstaff... read more

If you ask for the wifi code they will give you a paper with the code that says no camping. They are watching you, as soon as they see you finish your meal they will block or disconnect you to make sure you get out of bethere fast. You won't be able to reconnect with the same passcode they give you. Not nice at all. Go some place else. read more

All the food was made with fresh ingredients and competently prepared. The only thing lacking was in the seasoning department. I totally get backing off the salt a little to avoid being too egregious in the sodium department, but reasonable seasoning is a basic culinary tenet. Expect to wait 30-40 minutes for breakfast and expect to get a fulfilling, hearty meal. Also be prepared to ask for some hot sauce and to add a little self-serve salt and pepper. Having a freshly poured draft Montana craft beer was a nice touch. Warning to Southerners: the Biscuits and Gravy ain't Memaw's Biscuits and Gravy. read more

A great little Cafe in downtown Whitefish. Came here with my family for dinner. Very good food, outstanding service and reasonable prices. One of the best values in town. The menu has something for everybody. read more

Food and service were incredible. Expect to wait for a table. Highly recommend for breakfast!

My friends and husband were with me for our breakfast together. I found the great place on the Yelp. I read the reviews but we wonder how do the servers and business treat Deaf customers. We came in and gestured that we use sign language and counted us as a number. The nice hostess gestured back with a wait time. Once we got seated, the server, Isabelle, met us with a nice greeting. She smiled when we gestured that we are using sign language and pointing the menu. We used our phone for menu questions. She got our orders. We noticed that the environment is so friendly and cozy. We got orange juice, water, and coffee. My coffee was so good!! Not too strong. We loved how the mugs designed. If helps us feel welcome. During our chat, the servers brought our breakfast. The smell was so strong and delicious to make us drool. Please see the pictures. Due to my diet pescatarian and my husband doesn't eat red meat, our food was so perfect!! My friends commented that I picked a great place and a great server because she made sure we are fine twice. She wrote notes to ask us questions regarding checks and food. The other servers are great too for pouring coffee without judging us. Worth money and our time!! High recommended!! I gave a great tip for Isabelle too! If my other friends who wants to visit Whitefish, we will tell them to go there for breakfast!! If you miss an opportunity, you are out of mind and it's your loss. I gave it a 5 stars!! Wish it is 20 stars but it has no option lol. read more

This spot was super good! There was a 30 min wait which we enjoyed, because it's right in the heart of town and there are adorable businesses around! Our waitress was friendly, personable, and professional! Our breakfast was out within 15 minutes, and it was so good! The French toast was very doughy in the middle, which my husband likes, so he was satisfied. And I got the pie- it was very hearty and delicious! Enjoy! read more

Fantastic burger, they don't pull punches with their ingredients. Overall great food and service from a fantastic small local business. Owner Alex is often in house. read more

I wish I could give this place 6 stars. We went twice on our trip to Montana. The wait staff goes above and beyond. Yes there was a wait but they handle the busy-ness well. The restaurant is cute, it's clean, and has some of the best breakfast food we've ever had. Try the Kansas City bacon. Both times I got the eggs Benedict, both times the hollandaise was phenomenal. I wish Uber Eats could send us their breakfast every weekend on plane to Portland or. We will definitely come back someday and recommend this place to any of our friends visiting the area. read more

Not only was the food delicious, but the staff is INCREDIBLE. The owner has amazing calves (definitely a biker) and our waitress was shockingly beautiful. The sexual tension in this restaurant is off the charts. Definitely hit up the buffalo cafe for a well rounded and fantastic experience. (Don't bring your husband) read more

Fantastic place. A mix of tourists and locals. We all ordered various main courses with Elk and sampled them all. Street parking for several blocks around, and a nice park to walk off some calories nearby. read more

Food is delicious. I recommend the yogurt bowl- it's local yogurt and very good. Might be a little wait, but worth it.

This restaurant doesn't open for dinner until 5 p.m., but when they let us in, their service was top notch! They got us seated with drinks and a server so quickly. Our food came out quickly and it was delicious. All the servers are so on top of it, and so friendly. I'd definitely recommend eating here! read more

Always friendly, fast and good food options for breakfast and lunch! Plan on waiting during peak times.

Do I recommend this place? I think everybody does, check out the lines outside the door. I can't go in there without getting one of the buffalo pies for breakfast, friggin yummy. I had a chicken salad sandwich there for lunch one day too that was delish. read more

Fantastic place! Huge portions and fair prices. More simple meals, but done elegantly with great attention to detail. Service was great too! My wife and I ordered from the Daily Specials, and were definitely impressed. She got a Cinnamon Swirl French Toast with Strawberry topping, and I got a Buffalo Pie (not a pie folks, more like a hash scramble) that was similar to their Morning Glory, but without Gravy and using Mozzarella cheese instead. These meals were epic! read more

Food and service excellent. Affordable for Whitefish. Only got the burgers but, a lot of variety.

Our server, Dale, gave us great recommendations and the food was great. Service was also perfect.

The food was great. I sat at the bar. I ordered my breakfast. It was enough for two. I actually called my son, to come have breakfast with me. He showed up and we moved. The service was great. They moved us with no problem. Even though it was crazy busy. Definitely, stop by this place. read more

Great service-- so friendly and kind even with a huge wait time (Sunday brunch). Food was tasty and a nice spot to grab breakfast in Whitefish read more

I've eaten at Buffalo for breakfast and for dinner and both times I was boots to the moon with joy. Killer fries and the staff was very friendly and personable. + great playlist read more

Best Cafe in the valley! Service was fantastic and the food was delicious! And bonus points for the great drip coffee!

We had a really good brunch. Don't wait until you're hungry to go there. We arrived a little after 11. We were given a pager so that we could wander the shops while we waited. We did not get seated until after 12. No pancakes after noon. Hard and fast rule on the noon cutoff. Service was adequate. We visited in mid September. read more

Food and service are amazing. Full stop. Highly encourage you to order the turkey melt. read more

Probably my favorite place so far for a hearty breakfast. All menu items were splendid and service was quick and friendly. Thanks!

Out of town guests visiting family and we had breakfast here yesterday. Yes, you have a little or so wait time but that is definitely a sign that the food is worth the wait!!!! I had the blueberry pancakes that were wickedly good and you won't be disappointed. The KC bacon was excellent. We will definitely be back during our next visit!!!! read more

The food isn't worth the wait in line every time. It's just fine. The line is ridiculous.

This place is awesome. A little away from the cluster of restaurants and bars down the street but still close. We went there for an early dinner. Pro's: Great Burgers, Wonderful wait staff. Super friendly. Quick with drinks and suggestions. My Hamburger with figs and blue cheese and bacon was the bomb. The bun was the best part... bakery fresh. The side salad was huge and filled with all kinds of vegis. I snuck a few of my partners fries and they were also fantastic. Battered style and delicious (the few I could sneak off his plate). Waitress suggested the Steak Salad which I may try next time. Prices were reasonable for what you get. We sadly didn't have desert but sad now that I didn't. Different types of milkshakes looked great. Con's: Not open on Sunday or Monday... we would have come back but ended up at Casey's down the street... you can read my review on that place. The seating is somewhat limited so you should get in early to grab a seat. We will be going back tomorrow as we are still in the area and don't want to go anywhere else. Maybe try the breakfast? read more

Yummy breakfast place for all the usual stuff- be prepared for a little wait but it's a great local joint.

In town for a conference- this place is a gem- staff, food and service were all outstanding. I would go back whenever possible.

Stopped in here after shopping downtown, because of the high reviews. The place was quaint and staff is friendly. My lunch was quite good and everyone else liked their orders. One star missing due to slow service. We stopped in at 1pm they close at 2pm. Maybe our waitstaff was busy doing other closing chores read more

If you need a hangover meal this is your spot! The food portions are huge and with all the breakfast needs after a big night out. Staff is nice and attentive. If I lived near this place I would be 30 pounds heavier. Check it out! read more

Very tasty and good size portions. Exceed my expectations and will definitely be returning!

We had a great meal here. It's a very kid friendly restaurant too. The loaded nachos were one of the best I've ever had. Fish tacos, roasted carrots, kids cheeseburger were all delicious. Heck, even the lemonade had something special about it. Wish we had some appetite left for desserts after our scrumptious meal. read more

We always have frequented for breakfast, but our dinner the night before last was so delicious! This place reminds us every time of why we feel in love with Whitefish. The crab cake sandwich is my new favorite. All three of us were so satisfied. Great touch after a long day on the slopes! read more

Awesome food in Whitefish! Quaint place. They took good care of us and we got our food quickly.

The wait to get in was really long but once we got a chance to eat, it was obvious why this place is so popular. I had the huevos rancheros which. we're the best I've ever had. The waitress was delightful. I'll be back! read more

I've been going to the Buffalo for years and can honestly say I have never had one negative experience (with service, cleanliness, food, or anything else). I just had the Leslie's for breakfast for the first time and one word : yum!!! I devoured the whole plate of hash browns, veggies, eggs, and the english muffin. The drip coffee at the buffalo is always fantastic. If you go for dinner I highly, highly recommend the shrimp cake sandwich! Oh my goodness my mouth just salivated typing that....I can't even think of enough great words to describe it, it's just a must try, in my opinion! If you're like me you order something once and if you like it you play it safe and order that item every time you go back to the restaurant...I would encourage you to try as many options as you can at the Buffalo...everything I've ever had has been superb! read more
