Came by during SLO's Farmers Market. Place offers a daily (weekdays and weekend) happy hour from 3 pm to 6 pm. Seating is indoor only. I ordered a Sculpin draft for the happy hour price of $5. A well drink of bourbon and Coke for $4. I ordered the bartender suggested chicken tenders with the Cajun rub and sauce. Drinks were on point and the chicken tenders and accompanying sauce were very good. Staff was friendly and helpful. I'll definitely return. read more

Pretty good bar. The DJs here on thursdays generally are better than the other bars. I also really love the goblet drinks

We came down to the Pub to watch the Bowl game and get a front row seat for the Farmers Market tonight. My guest hasn't been to the SLO market so... M ordered the NY Pastrami sandwich as a wrap, I went for my go to Fish n' Chips and a side salad. Now truthfully I was skeptical about our food order and delightfully surprised too. All was as it should be, salad made fresh, tasted fresh. My fish and chips, hand battered fresh and a fair portion of four sticks of the Cod. Fries were fresh not frozen line flow ff's. M's Pastrami wrap very good and tasty, I got a bit but she kept the other half for herself later tonight. The sweet potato fries she got were fresh cut too (at least thats how they appeared) they actually had taste, although some were not thoroughly cooked. Overall we were quite satisfied with our meal, the bartender was our server and she was great. One complaint, the bar stools are not comfortable but I'll be sure to suggest the Pub as a good place to eat and drink Foodguy-martin read more

This place is amazing! Even on a busy Friday before the Christmas parade. Mo, I think that is his name gave me food suggestions, that were amazing! The Baja tacos were fantastic! Nick even let me charge my phone. I'm telling you, I then walked through SLO and i can say The Buffalo was the highlight of my night. Great drinks, great food, amazing staff.....can you ask for more? I will be back!!! read more

You absolutely have to try the sweet potato fries! they're seriously unlike any other fries out there. They're thick, hearty, and packed with actual sweet potato goodness, not just crunch and crisp. If you're the type who loves fries that are more about the potato than the crisp, these are a game-changer. read more

It was a Thursday evening and the street was abuzz coz of the Farmers' Market, right outside the pub. We least realising that there were happy hours on, took a place in the restaurant. The staff was attentive, showed us a good high seating table. The 5-7 happy hours were on and we got our very favourite 'Guinness' on the tap. We ordered plenty of that :))... appetisers too were discounted by $3 each. Of which the highlight were the onion rings with the serrano cheesy dip. One of the crispiest and best had by us in the last 1.5 years of being in California! The server was attentive but little hassled though service was prompt (maybe she was tired by then). Overall an excellent experience. The place is very lively and is serving good quality stuff. I will recommend to you to try on your next trip to SLO downtown. read more

The food is pretty good and they have some interesting drinks! The fishbowl is a fun eye catching drink with people. I enjoy they quinoa salad as well if you are looking for something healthy! The place looks decent. The bar charges are a bit wiggly, they could use a bit of maintenance! I enjoy this place before it get super busy at night! read more

Buffalo Pub and Grill - Burger - Pubs Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Buffalo is a great place to have a quick bite + drinks with friends or partner! I always get the curry quinoa dish, it is so delicious. This time I added a few other items to my meal! I also got the buffalo fries and the mac n cheese sandwich. All very tasty, but I do think the mac n cheese needed a little more flavor. Service was good, there was only one when we dined it and we did see our food sit on the counter for a good few minutes before getting it delivered to us which was a bit of a bum. read more

Great old fashion! The "locals only" old fashion was wonderful. I had the fish and chip and it was full of flavor, crispy, and the right about of salt. The onion rings were battered well, and the onion inside was crunchy making it delicious. Service was friendly and timely. The location was easy to spot from the road, plus the decor for the theme of the restaurant. The price was very reasonable and I'd absolutely go back again. read more

I am so disappointed in the bathroom security guard. Not only did he let his friends cut in front of women but he was a complete imbecile to women. This is a great bar filled with amazing music, however the security did NOT make me feel safe but instead taken advantage of. He let his "friends" take advantage of the line. Honestly... if you want a college... immature vibe... pick this place because the security acts like it. Bar staff amazing.. security is shit. read more

I had a fun evening here with friends. They have indoor and outdoor seating and we chose the latter of course. The entire staff was super friendly and cheerful which makes such a difference and kept checking on us unintrusively which was nice. I kept it pretty basic and got some bourbon neat. I am trying to keep the sugar intake under control so avoided the tempting cocktails. The food was good. The options are pretty basic and "bar foody" but was surprised at how good it was. The deviled eggs were good, hard to screw that up. My favorite was the burrata salad which was surprisingly different and crunchy. If you are here, make sure to check out Bubblegum Alley which is just a stone's throw away. read more

If you're looking for a place to sit down and have a good drink and have some amazing food and definitely make sure that this is a stop you do in San Luis Obispo. Our waiter James has not only been so attentive to just us but everybody else around. He has given only the best recommendations on what is on the menu and let me tell you that menu has some fire options. My girlfriend's favorite is the mac & cheese whereas I will always go for the fish and chips now, but you will not find one thing on that menu to dislike. I think our favorite part is the fact that they have these giant goblets that are absolute wreckers if you're trying to get a nice day fade or a good buzz for a Sunday football game. Overall, being an Allen also has its ways cause this Bar is an official Billsbackers bar. Of coarse it is a bar setting but for the overall feel, everybody that comes in has a smile and is all enjoying their time. Come check it out! read more

We stumbled into Buffalo Pub and Grill the day of the Xmas Parade. We just wanted to place to rest our feet from the rain. We casually met the owner and she had such wonderful kind energy. The bartender made the BEST gin and tonic( it was a Well drink) and my husband loved his Celebration Red Ale and ordered 2! The place was not busy at 12 noon on this rainy Saturday, but we met a local woman who brought in her sweet dog. If we lived in SLO, we would be "regulars" Thank you for making us feel so welcomed Buffalo Pub and Grill! read more

Food was delicious. Got the hot dog and Mac and cheese and tator tots. All delicious! Service was great. Got a coffee cocktail which was delicious as well! Have to admit, small place that surprised me at how good it was! I'd come back! read more

Went in with my buddy straight to the bar. Maybe 5-6 people in the place at the time. Three bartenders. Three. Sat at the bar and waited 20 minutes. No one acknowledged us or even said hello. Finally had to ask one of the bartenders if I could order some drinks. She waved at one of the order bartenders and said "ask him" then proceeded to ignore me for another 25 seconds. I asked "can you just take my order?" She looked at me like I was stupid, then visibly contemplated with herself on if she could/would take our order. Begrudgingly, she took our money after around 25 minutes from walking in. Haven't ever felt guilty for getting drinks with a friend before. So thanks I guess, for that. read more

The Serrano and cheese stuffed hotdog wrapped in bacon was the best hotdog I've ever had! The fries were very flavorful, which was a nice surprise because usually fries like this are bland. We will definitely be back. read more

My friends and I stopped into Buffalo Pub to start off our night in downtown SLO for my bday weekend. The cute bartender/server was SO SO sweet and gave us ideas on where to go next after we snacked and had a couple drinks here. Although they seem to have a pretty full bar their specialty drink selection was limited. With that being said, my friend and I ordered Moscow Mules because that was our drink of choice for the evening. We got our drinks in a regular glass cup which bummed me out because traditionally mules are served in a copper mug. The food here was super super good. We ordered the cheese curds (lots of garlic), Mac and cheese with bacon & their nachos. My fav was the cheese curds, on the menu its indicated that its served with chipotle ranch type sauce but ours came with ranch. No biggie we asked for the chipotle ranch and we were good to go. I would recommend the cheese curds and to maybe stick with their specialty cocktails. The customer service was amazing, the bartender was sweet AF and we had a great time at this first spot for the evening. read more

This place sucks on the weekend. I have a stamp and they still made get back in line for smoking. Even after talking to the bouncer about stepping out to smoke/ vape to make sure it's okay to stepping out. Talked to the bouncer before going outside about back in and the other Jackasssss pulled me back out outside. read more

This place is the coolest! The food is the bomb and the drinks are fabulous but the best part of the whole place is the manager Abby. She was so kind and sweet and didn't even know I was about to be a customer. She went out of her way to make us feel comfy and taken care of! Laura the server here is amazing! Sweet caring and does a great job These ladies are in the best mood and so cool you have to check this place out read more

Everything about this place was amazing! They are pet friendly, even inside the restaurant not just the patio. The waiter (i didn't catch his name), was awesome, super friendly, very attentive. He got water for my dogs, he was quick with getting our orders in. The food was delicious. The drinks were fantastic. 100% recommend this place!! read more

Why aren't you here? The best fish tacos I've ever had thanks to Eric the chef and James who helps you order the perfect meal or drink. Happy Hour is amazing with the best sweet potato fries you'll ever have. Oh and did I mention "the Greens" healthy vinaigrette salad with Parmesan or their yummy tortilla soup? If you want the best and most thoughtfully constructed menu you need to make this place a habit. We were delighted and will be back always. read more

Bruise left from bathroom bouncer. He grabbed me and threw me outside for asking questions and talking to other people in line about the bathroom. I did not touch, did not lay hands, on ANYONE. This behavior was violent and unnecessary. I will talk to Buffalo pub about this bouncer, as he clearly does not know how to do his job in a respectful and appropriate manner. Highly recommend women do not go here due to this clown read more

Buffalo Pub and Grill - Eric and Sierra ROCK!! - Pubs Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Stopped in for a super quick, small bite since our parking meter down the street was probably gonna expire soon. Just needed a little something in our bellies before getting back on the road. Buffalo Pub and Grill is a very inviting and comfortable spot to have some grub and a brew. Wish we could have stayed longer. We ordered a couple lite bites: some kind of beans that sounded interesting on the menu....something about onion, melted cheese. Unfortunately they were just kind of uninteresting beans. Good but dull. Also had deep fried cheese...maybe curds....served with two different dipping sauces. Definitely tasty! Staff and patrons are friendly, in fact we ended up talking to a man who comes there frequently and lives in the Monterrey area. He helped us with some places to check out along our trek up the coast. Buffalo Pub and Grill is a cool place! read more

WOMEN STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!! Would give 0 stars but not allowed. Never come here and waste your money on these scumbags. Was visiting SLO for the weekend and my night was ruined by Buffalo. Bouncer by the bathroom was shoving women around for no reason. Didn't ask them to move or anything, was just shoving them full force. Completely abused his power and should be fired. He was very no one pressed charges of assault, it was unprovoked. If you were shoved you should sue and get free money! Easy settlement case waiting for you, just have your lawyer subpoena the video tape. I will testify against him if I have to. Will never go here again. It was the bouncer that is chubby and wears a hat. I think he was phillipino but I can't remember for sure. Youll know it's him because these reviews consistently show that he does this all the time. If he put his hands on me I would've sued. You're lucky Buffalo!!! read more

We like it here. Good music on high volume, we like that too. Kitchen wasn't open yet, the menu looked promising. I had a schnoor of 805. Frosted mug. Delicious. The bartender was sweet and swift. Dogs are welcomed. read more

Amazing service! Great food options and solid happy hour prices. Our new favorite SLO establishment!

Great place to park oneself for food and drink about 4:30 PM on Thursday evenings to watch the Farmers Market setup. Onion rings are super. Currently during Happy Hour, one can order a beer and burger (a good one) for $15. During Happy Hour drinks are $3 off. read more

Spent 15 minutes in an attempt to simply ask if they were still serving food (at 6pm) and all staff members informed myself and the 3 other gentleman with us. 20 more min at a table with no hello or acknowledgment that we were there, finally 4 seats opened at the bar and we were ignored while the staff served 15 patrons first, all of whom arrived after us. Never even got to try the food or drink. Hard pass if you're looking for even passable service. read more

One star - bar manager is aggressive when women use the restroom and uses his authority to push women against walls and grab them to hurt them. I wouldn't recommend this spot for any women looking for a fun night out. It's not safe and the management turns a blind eye. read more

I've been making my way down to SLO just to come to buffalo every year for the last 5 years. This year and last night was a bit of a different experience but the customer service was nothing short of the amazing as it has been every time I've come. Due to COVID the bar is not open on the inside but they have this awesome setup of outside seating, which made it a pretty awesome and new experience. I would highly recommend going now if you're in town but if you don't feel comfortable yet then it will definitely be worth the wait once this COVID mess is under control. read more

Went there tonight, it is Xmas eve, they are open and employees are super-friendly and nice and they said Xmas day, they are open also. That is really nice for some traveller like me. I stop by SLO around Xmas time, and good to have food. 1) Decor pretty nice 2) Food is very good. order grill chicken salad and Potatoes Tots. Tots are so tasty and salad is so fresh, seem like organic(not 100% sure, I can't remember what the menu said) 3) Beer is good (around $5.50 per glass, not bad) 4) has multiple large TV to watch sport game. Highly recommended. read more

Had a delicious lunch while passing through from out of town. A bit nervous to take 3 young kids into a pub, but the staff was so friendly and helpful - even when the middle child locked herself in the bathroom somehow. Oops!! The Mac n cheese was one of the best I've had! The fries are quality, and they brought my husband all flats on his wing order. The chicken breast on my Chicken pesto was grilled to perfection, juicy and flavorful. We also had to snap a few pics of the giant buffalo head on the wall. We'll have to remember this place next time we're passing through. read more
