Service was great, attentive, always refilling coffee, accommodating. We went on a Sunday and the line was out the door! Twin Fall's best kept secret! read more

This is why I like using Yelp. I'd never even know there was a functioning business here let along a really tasty breakfast spot. It's so unassuming on the outside but inside is a bright lively spot for a great start to the day. It's a little bit off the main strip but it's worth looking for. read more

Hubby & I tracked down this cute cafe' to satisfy our craving for a "buffalo burger" (which was great! kinda small though). I saw a sign that said "jam for sale" so I requested to buy 2 jars of peach jam. The waitress promptly grabbed 2 empty mason jam jars (not sure if they had been properly cleaned), then went to the frig where she poured thick yellow liquid into the jars! I was like "What the heck? and felt like a deer staring into headlights! We paid our bill & drove to our next destination. I was still in a daze at what I just witnessed! I've decided to discard the "jam" and have called the local health department! Any jam sold by a restaurant or individual seller should only sell jam to the public THAT HAS BEEN PROPERLY CANNED!!!!! Buyer beware!!!! read more

Great food, but my wife has dairy sensitivity and they would only cook the eggs in butter. Otherwise food and service was great.

The buffalo cafe has good customer service and Michael is always friendly to all customers. The food is always good and it's a pleasant atmosphere. read more

Our breakfast was great! We had the huevos rancheros. Highly recommend this dish. They were very busy on a Friday morning but service was still good. You need to have patience because it's a small place and food is cooked to order. We loved it and will be back! read more

The Buffalo Cafe sits just off the drag in Twin Falls, Idaho, like a quiet dog with a strong back--nothing to prove and no one to impress. The outside is wood, weathered and sun-bleached, like the town itself, like so much of the West--built plain and built to last. The door swings easy, like it's been swung a thousand times by men with calloused hands and women with tired feet. Inside, the place is low-lit and wood-paneled. A great bison stares from the wall, glass-eyed and eternal, as if he's been watching over coffee drinkers since before the first car rolled down Blue Lakes Boulevard. You find a seat easy, which feels like luck. Booths with worn vinyl, tables scuffed by elbows and time, and stools at the bar that don't mind a little weight. You sit where you like. No fuss. The girl behind the counter had ink down her arm and a look in her eyes like she'd seen a thing or two. She said, "I suggest the buffalo chip." So I did. That's how it is in a place like this. You trust the waitress and let her steer the ship. The food came hot and fast. The kind of hot that makes your mouth steam. Biscuits as big as a fist. Jelly sweet and tart, homemade, like something born in a Mason jar in a summer kitchen. The kind of jelly that brings back memories you weren't trying to find. The coffee? Not good. Not bad. But always full. That mattered more than the taste. I never saw the bottom of the mug, and that was enough. This is what a diner is supposed to be. Not fancy. Not loud. Just there. Like a friend who doesn't talk much but always shows up. Old wood. Good food. People who let you be. That's the Buffalo Cafe. That's enough. read more

We are on a 20 state journey over the next few weeks. By far, this has been the best breakfast we've had. And we have had great ones. We came on a Sunday and it was very crowded. Service was wonderful, despite the chaos of it being crowded. Everything was so fresh. The homemade jams were the cherry on top. read more

Great food. The biscuits are killer. Then add one their homemade jam and it's bomb! They also sale their jams to take home! Our friend had the chicken fried steak, he said was best he has ever had. Won't disappoint. read more

I loved going here with friends. Such a great place to visit in the morning. Food was great that the waitresses were wonderful.

I picked this place because it was highly rated on TripAdvisor. Good choice. Small, time - weather and venue. Sat at the counter without waiting in line. Very very menu for breakfast. I ordered the Spanish omelette which was large, had lots of "stuff," potatoes and I chose the bran muffin instead of toast. Entire meal was delicious. The service was very friendly and the coffee was good. read more

Omgosh....so very good! Smaller restaurant, so it fills up fast. Generous portions and the beef gravy was out of this world. We were only planning on coming once, but made the executive decision to come again. Everything is good. The home made jam is phenomenal. read more

But what made everything taste that much better was the service. It was amazing!!!! The gal behind the counter was sweet and funny and kind. She gave me a stool for my feet. Can't wait to go back I highly recommend read more

I came here to eat while driving cross country. My friends and I agree that this was the best spot we stopped at during our trip. The cafe was small but cozy and there was no waiting for a table, we went around 10:00am on a Thursday morning. The server was super nice and attentive, made us feel comfortable to take our time to order. The coffee was spectacular and we even asked the server what coffee it was. I ordered the Buffalo Dip with toast on the side and it was out of this world. I wish I would have taken some home with me, it was flavorful and enough to feed two people. I really enjoyed this place! read more

If you're in this area, you have to come here!!! The prices are unheard of in this day and age with inflation. I got a full stack of pancakes and wow they were humongous! The picture does not do it justice, they were bigger than my head! Plus it was four of those for nine dollars. That's crazy. The service was quick and the atmosphere was very calm. Definitely recommend Buffalo Cafe! read more

Best breakfast I ever had. The Buffalo Chip breakfast is indescribably delicious. Huge, fluffy biscuits with a variety of homemade jams-peach was a amazing. read more

Started way later in the morning than intended for breakfast and ended up walking into this place at nearly 9am. I knew it was going to be busy, but it was packed. Not a mask to be found here. Didn't realize so many folks were vaccinated here. It's a small place, so I was happy to find a stool at the counter. The food is standard fare done well. Had the 3 egg Veggie omelet which was massive! One perk of sitting at the counter is the almost automatic refills of the coffee, which I really didn't need but appreciated. Also had the pleasure of talking to a local at the counter. Despite his younger age, in the 20's, his outlook and philosophy on life were unexpectedly mature; an old soul for sure. It was one of those conversations that enhances your life. Thanks, Steve. read more

Wow! Traveling back home to Salt Lake and needed breakfast before hitting the road. So we pulled up and I wasn't so sure of my random choice. We went to a chain restaurant the other day and had a horrible experience so I was nervous. But wow!! This place is definitely a hidden gem. The service was amazing!! The woman we had was so sweet and friendly. 10/10 The food was delicious!! I got the buffalo chip, so flavorful. Husband got an omelette, the kids got pancakes, whatever you get you have to try their homemade jams! They are AMAZING! We bought two to take home.10/10! We will definitely stop here again when I'm town. read more

We found this gem on Yelp and I had to give a review. Amanda, our waitress, was the sweetest. The customer behind us was lovely and the atmosphere was quaint and friendly. The Buffalo Chips.

2.8/5: From AZ. Found this gem 10 years ago on my way back to AZ. Great chicken fried steak at the time. Had to go again. Sorry, but not the same. One time had it ranked in my top 5 C.F.S. Fell real short this time. Best thing was the homemade preserves. They 100%! Wish I could have said different. read more

Buffalo Cafe - Chicken fried steak. Some odd yellow breading. - American Near Me - Twin Falls, Idaho

If you like old school diners and no frills breakfasts, this is your place. It's a small quaint place in what looks like a industrial area. We just missed the rush of people who came behind us. There is no hostess and it's a first come first serve seat thing, so plan to stand and wait. We had a pretty short wait as they move people through at a good pace. Service was great and the food was better. The Buffalo chip was so flavorful and did not need any added seasoning. My son loved his buttermilk pancakes. I would have pictures but my camera malfunctioned and the picture was blurry. The short stack is 2 very large pancakes and he wasn't able to finish it. My husband had basque chorizo and eggs. The chorizo could have been cooked a bit longer but all in all you cannot go wrong with basque chorizo. The topper of the whole breakfast was the homemade biscuits and the homemade jam. Fluffy and melt in your mouth goodness topped with a sweet tart jam. It was more liquid than expected but don't let the texture fool you. This jam packs a delightful, refreshing punch of flavor. Not a fancy spot, just a solid, classic breakfast joint! Ambience, service and food done right. Simplicity at its best. read more

Food was great, service was great, ambiance was ... you know if you been there what else can you say.

This morning we were driving home from Jackpot Nevada and decided to stop in Twin Falls Idaho for breakfast. We had our delicious breakfast at "Buffalo Cafe" on 4th Ave. W. in Twin Falls. Boy was I glad we stopped and ate at this small diner. It is open for breakfast and lunch only from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. My wife (Patti) had the sirloin steak and eggs breakfast. It was perfectly cooked rare and it came with two eggs, English muffin and hash browns. The jam they give you is home made. Patti had the blackberry jam. She loved her breakfast. All was delicious, hot and perfectly cooked. You know you are in a well liked restaurant when you see local Law Enforcement and the Army boys eating there. I had what they called "Mexican Eggs" It is really two flour tortillas with chili verde pork and cheese inside. It is topped with two eggs any style. That pork and sauce was fantastic tasting! My breakfast was also hot and it came with a great tasting side of re-fried beans. Great service and in a nice, clean environment. So if you are ever in Twin Falls I recommend you go into Buffalo Cafe and order any breakfast. Great menu and you will stand up and say to everyone "You Gonna Eat That"! Check out my "Brogar's - "You Gonna Eat That"?" Facebook page. read more

Only slightly out of the way - a solid local dinner with super friendly service and a cozy, down home atmosphere. Great looking menu overall with some unique plates. We enjoyed our breakfasts - my daughter had huevos which she said was great, and I had the Buffalo Chip which was exactly what I expected. Not overly gooey potatoes with a good mix of crisp veggies and bacon topped by over easy eggs. And very reasonably priced. Will return! read more

It's a cafe like you expect a cafe. Engaging staff that are friendly and talkative. Good food and just a place that's relaxing. If you're expecting a fancy modern sterile, and I mean all new with little character, don't come here. read more

Looks like a hole in the wall, but I had a very tasty omelet with bacon, blue cheese, and guacamole. I ordered the regular, but the small would have been plenty. The home-made hash browns were a nice treat. The homemade jams are great. read more

We went here for breakfast this morning and it was great. The service was warm, attentive and friendly. We ordered the two eggs and bacon traditional breakfast with toast and potatoes, and the chile verde with scrambled eggs. The traditional breakfast was very good except the bacon was a little to crispy for me but loved their homemade jam that comes with the toast. The chile verde was awesome and it was stuffed in a flour tortilla, with cheese, sour cream, eggs and beans. Overall, this is a great little cafe in TF and if you are wanting some good home cooking give the Buffalo a try. read more
