A true gem! After a week exploring the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone, we made it to Twin Falls. We were looking for a local breakfast spot and we couldn't have asked for a better breakfast experience. You can tell it is family owned and they provide unparalleled service. The food was amazing and with such large portions, we had to take half to go. If you are looking for a hearty, home made breakfast, this is the place. Highly recommend! read more

Good food, wish they baked the biscuits about 5 minutes more, they still have a doughy mouth feel in the middle, and the bottom seems undercooked. The pack the patrons in, and you feel like you're eating with everyone. Don't get me wrong, close is fine, but there is ALWAYS someone loud there so you can't really hear your own table. I wish the staff was more In tuned to that, and could remind people. read more

I found Buffalo Cafe through Yelp, and also had a new friend say it was pretty good, so we went on one of Hubs' days off. It was decent, but nothing blew me away. My daughter (4) had a good time coloring and looking at everyone's colorings on the wall. The menu is decent sized, not too small andnnotnso big you feel like there are just too many options. Service was great. Friendly, professional, prompt. Our daughter even enjoyed talking some (she can be very "stranger danger" shy). The place was small, but mot cramped. Appeared clean, though also had a bit of an old feel to it (nothing wrong with that!). We might go there again, but it didn't really wow us, so it would probably be a while. read more

Found this random spot while on the road traveling through. Totally off the beaten path in a very odd industrious area. Definitely a locals spot. Amazing food. Highly recommend! read more

We were in town over the Christmas/New Year's holiday. We had breakfast here twice - it was that good. I got the buffalo chip both days, first day the 'regular' size ( huge) and the second day the smaller size (manageable). It was prepared perfectly both days. Service was friendly and excellent. The homemade jam is every bit as good as everyone is saying. Run don't walk, this place is the real deal. read more

This place is nothing fancy on the outside. Complete hole in the wall vibe. But the food was fabulous. Servers were super friendly and attentive. The food came out quick. I had the chicken fried steak and eggs. Super yummy, the potatoes were cooked perfectly, and the biscuit was amazing. Hubby got bacon and eggs. He loved it. My son opted for chicken fingers and fries. I of course stole a fry and can attest to their deliciousness as well. Highly recommend stopping by this hidden gem. read more

Giving it 5 stars for the housemade strawberry and peach jam alone! I ordered a "small"l biscuits and gravy and added an egg on top. My hubby had a short stack of generously laden fresh blueberry pancakes. They are HUGE! We sat at the bar and chatted with the very friendly staff- also had a bird's eye view of the cook- he was a master that was fun to watch while we waited. read more

Tried this breakfast place again on a weekday and I think that made all the difference. The Buffalo Chips were indulgent, pancakes fluffy, and eggs properly cooked. Biscuit was overworked and tougher than it should be. Overall, we left satisfied. Weekends are busy and I think execution falters. read more

How do I begin? My husband and I stopped here in 2015, thanks to a misguided attempt to find some food on our cross country drive. For whatever reason, I didn't leave a review last time, but it was delicious enough for us to decide that for this year's painfully long drive, we would stop overnight in Twin Falls JUST so we could have breakfast at The Buffalo Cafe. Everything about this place is 5 star-worthy (unless you are concerned with fancy decor in an old school diner). Service was excellent, food came out quickly , and it was amazing! Portions are huge (we both had the half orders and we are stuffed!), and the prices are very reasonable ($6.95 a plate?!) You can write home about the biscuits and homemade blackberry jam, we had the buffalo chip and a tortilla filled EXCELLENT chile verde, topped with an egg, loads of cheese, sour cream and a side of beans (it was a weekday special, think it was called the New Mexico Style eggs or something similar). I hope we never have to drive to ND again, but I do hope we get to stop by The Buffalo Cafe! read more

Wow, love this place! Good old fashioned local diner with 2 counters, squeezed in tables, wooden walls and super friendly staff. We stopped for breakfast on our way home.

Buffalo Cafe - American Near Me - Twin Falls, Idaho

I come here to carbo-load and reminisce. Should come as no surprise this joint has been around forever; never had one bad experience except the bellyache of afterwards greasy spoon that I come here specifically to garner. Buffalo chip, long may it reign! read more

I really had low expectations for this place because every previous restaurant I tried in Twin was pretty awful even the "nicer" ones BUT this place was actually quite amazing. I missed my flight earlier in the day, had time for breakfast so stopped in. Even the iced tea (unsweetened) was friggen good! I ordered the buffalo chip with their homemade biscuit and strawberry jam and hooollly shit was it sooo delicious!!! You can truly tell everything is homemade. I mean I don't even like jam but I liked this one and ate it all up. The servers were super sweet and personable with engaging conversation. Made this big city gal rethink small town people, for the better, and I'm thankful for that. read more

So good. Nice size portions, good food and then add to that the friendly service made for a five star visit. They got busy and folks were waiting but the wait is worth it. read more

Back in town again! I forgot to take pics but the food,service and atmosphere were some of the best we've had. You know that Justin and I travel a lot. When we come to Twin Falls we always hit up the Buffalo Cafe. This place always hits the spot!!! There homemade jam is delish!! Come hungry read more

we moved to idaho and found a great atmosphere, great food and great service at Buffalo....the food changed drastically just recently....eggs not cooked...omelets half raw....burned or half raw pancakes...half portions when we ordered full (it seems the cook was being trained as they worked)...and then when we went in this weekend, we found the weekend menu changed so that a number of things were not available...we finally figured out the new kitchen help couldn't handle the number of requests...so the menu was cut. TF is a small town...word gets around...when the owners were looking for a new cook after Angie left (Food Maestro Excellence!!), the proven cooks who applied could not work for what they were offered.... Breakfast is our main meal...and we're willing to pay for privilege of eating out...but not when the menu has been cut back so the kitchen staff can handle the orders.... Angie and staff....you are missed!!:) read more

This place is great for those looking for a traditional american breakfast at a very reasonable price. The homemade biscuits are amazing. Service was personal and at just the right speed. read more

One of the best breakfast spots in Twin Falls. It is a must try! Fantastic local country cafe.

Always like stopping in at this cafe, great food, friendly staff and a comfy atmosphere.

So good! I've been coming every weekend the last 4 weekends. Biscuits and gravy, hash browns and eggs

Wow, amazing food and service. Great little hole in the wall place. You won't be disappointed!

Best chicken fried steak and gravy ever! Freshly made jams and biscuits. This place is awesome. Very reasonable prices.

I great place for breakfast. I love the two egg breakfast. Yummy and really reasonably priced. The blueberry bran muffins are really good and so is their homemade jam. read more

I address this to all businesses that have changed their hours for COVID. The virus does not wake up or go to bed at specific times so changing your schedule only makes sense if you're doing it due to reduced traffic. The fastest way to really piss off potential and existing customers is to not update your hours on Google, Yelp, etc. It looks like your food is really good but I'll never know. I drove considerably out of my way to come and eat at your restaurant after looking up your hours online. You were closed so we defaulted to Abracadabra. We were very annoyed at the time we wasted. You're pretty far away from the main section of town. We also really liked Abracadabra so that will be our go-to when passing through your city going forward read more

Been multiple times and it's a great affordable breakfast joint with lightning quick service

The service here was friendly and the food was good. In fact, the sausage tasted fresh and not filled with preservatives that were used too. I decided to try something different and tried the potatoes and gravy dish, which is similar to biscuits and gravy except with potatoes (this is Idaho!). Since I couldn't make up my mind about getting my usual biscuits and gravy, she let me do half order of both. That was perfect. I was getting my usual, which for me is hard to resist, and then be able to try something new! read more

On Trip Advisor, this diner is ranked #1 in Twin Falls for breakfast and lunch.

Their #1 item is their Buffalo chips (which are potatoes topped with a variety of ingredients) they also have a half order of Buffalo chips.

Awesome spot for breakfast! Great service and food! We recommend stopping here if your in town

Great food, good service, nothing flashy. My favorite breakfast spot in Twin Falls, no competition. I always get the Sawtooth omelette and use their homemade jam on my sourdough toast...so freaking good. read more

Such an exceptional little cafe, in the oldest part of town. Now, when I say little, that would be an understatement. This little cafe is tucked into an industrial area in the older part of Twin Falls. The staff are always smiling, providing exceptional and fast service. The food options are vast and there is something for everyone. Overall, the best place for breakfast in the area and definitely worth the drive to Twin Falls. read more

Laid back diner vibes. Very limited seating and the secret has been out on how good this hole in the wall is, so expect to wait for a few. Grandma cooking is what comes to mind when your food arrives in multiple plates. Pancakes the size of a small infant and enough cheese on everything to satisfy napaleon dynamites nachos. A must try for anyone. I was so excited to start I was already half way through my "mini" sized omelet before I remember to catch a picture. read more

Buffalo Cafe - American Near Me - Twin Falls, Idaho

Not normally a critic, but the experience was very poor. Service was terrible, almost to the point of ignoring customers. We waited 1 1/2 hours for marginal food, then when it came, we had to ask for silverware, jam, water. All requests were met with a low energy and annoyance. Sad this restaurant had 4 1/2 stars- Yelp usually does a better job. read more

Popped in for a quick breakfast after not being able to find a hotel room from Ontario, OR to Twin Falls!! Seriously, not a single room (hotel, motel, nor Holiday Inn) available for almost 200 miles. Finally scored a bed in Twin Falls. Anyway, Yelp delivers again. Buffalo Cafe is a great hole in the wall that has excellent food. It does have a bit of a locals-only vibe but that is where you get the best eats. I had Huevos Rancheros and the substituted a gigantic blueberry pancake for flour tortillas that normally come with it. Seriously, 1 pancake is as big as my head. I will usually clean my plate, but I couldn't, I tried. My partner in crime had a "mini" veggie omelette. Buffalo Cafe's "mini" is others regular. She couldn't finish it all. The Huevos were excellent, just enough warmth to keep it interesting but not so much that it was inedible. Report is that the omelette was top notch too. Served with potatoes and homemade jam for the toast. I'll be back when I'm in the area next. read more
