    The food was average. The service. The pricing was still fast food friendly. This is inside a gas station.

    The Pharm Restaurant is quite a treat for all truck drivers driving across the country through the…read moresmall city of Buffalo TX. We stopped by on our way back from Shreveport expecting some standard diner food. Lucky for us, the food was way better than expected and much higher quality as well. My son and I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, while my wife ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken due to the recommendation of our waitress. Unfortunately, they brought out three orders of Chicken Fried Steak. We didn't say anything and accepted the food as it was. The Chicken Fried Steak was humongous and packed with flavor. It was a tad on the salty side and the meat was a little tough. But for a restaurant in the middle of nowhere, it was still better than expected. All of the sides tasted great, including the Mac n cheese, baked potato, coleslaw, fries, and onion rings. I would recommend stopping by here to support them and avoid the fast food chains.

    Buffalo, Texas is where Rte 79 crosses I-45. That highway junction contains a lot of restaurants…read more Some may be fine. But there is a good case to be made for going into town. The Pharm is in downtown Buffalo. A lot of locals eat here. If you are a hunter, you are going to love this place. On the front wall is one of the most impressive collections of deer trophies I have ever seen. Lots of restaurants with hunters for owners or workers put deer heads up on the wall. Few have as an impressive a collection of top score trophies as you will see at the Pharm. The antler widths are absolutely positively enormous. I didn't think they made deer with antlers that big. * * * What goes for the antlers goes for the food. Pharm takes pride in its steaks. This seemed like a good reason to order a rib eye sandwich. That rib eye was about as wide at the biggest trophy on the wall. It extended half a foot out of my bun on one side and half a foot out of my bun on the other side. The bun was merely a handle for picking the sandwich up. The rib eye was thin but absolutely tender. It was not the $150 steak you would get at an oil magnate's private dining club. But for an everyday steak sandwich, it was just great. I was happy to have it. I was also happy to have the onion rings that went with it. * * * I would say the crowd was 100% local. I was the only highway passer-through. There were a lot of people taking a break from work for lunch. Many of these guys had the name of their company embroidered on their baseball cap. There were retirees in camouflage having lunch with friends. There was one young Christian couple having a long friendly conversation with a lady who was probably the manager. The manager was holding a hammer and waving her hammer over the place. My guess is that they were talking about some kind of repair or remodel job going on in the restaurant. But then who knows? Altogether, it seemed like a comfortable neighborhood hangout. * * * I suppose you "could" do well by eating at the Subway right at the highway junction. I recommend you do better by going into Buffalo itself.

I had to try it and it was as good as reported. (My friends have good taste!) I was immediately taken by the rustic charm of the establishment. To the left of the entrance was an old-fashioned meat counter filled with an assortment of smoked meats (some exotic) and jerkies (is the plural of jerky jerkies?). A few steps in, the counter gave way to a 90° turn followed by a steam tray with barbeque and sides. As I made my way around the establishment I spied the one thing that Bucc-ees is missing. An area to rest my heels while eating... it was small, but inviting. My chopped brisket sandwich came with a free side of beans. I happily retreated to my truck convinced that I'd found the best roadstop barbecue bargain in Texas. Did I mention that the sandwich only cost ~$7. Did I mention that the food was good?!
