I was heard earlier in the week. After a long train ride breakfast here was amazing. Service was great, it was crowded as it was Father's Day. However I was sat down pretty quickly. Waitress stopped by a few times to check in too. Ambiance is warm cabin/ bar feel. There's rave and booth seating. I ordered the Ketchum, I love over easy eggs. It was a large plate I was full. Though dish is plain yet good. Must be the combination that makes it great. I also ordered a huckleberry milk shake to go. It was delish. Especially since it's made with a local creamery in Kalispell. Everything was great ! Thank you read more

Service was friendly Everything was clean Timing was reasonable Chicken avocado sandwich was good. I switched the lemon aioli for chipotle ranch. It was overall a little bland and the chicken wasn't "fresh off the grill" hot but it wasn't anything I'd complain about or send back. read more

For what it is, this diner/cafe was quite the success. Polite, professional and prompt service, with a smile and perhaps a quick witted comment. The interior was subdue with low tinned ceilings, down lite lighting, sage green banquets which surprisingly helped dampen the sound level. The coffee was only okay but kudos for having half and half in a cute glass bottle rather than the stupid plastic containers. Mind blown with my avocado and bacon Benedict. Scratch made hollandaise, locally raised eggs, and local bacon. Order the hash browns ($3 extra), for a filling meal or keep it light as is. My partner had the short stack with eggs and sausage links, but wasn't as impressed as I was.. The best part was mighty Waters in the background from music. Best breakfast place I've eaten at in Whitefish. read more

We went to Buffalo Cafe after asking some locals where we should go for lunch. It was nice to put our name in, then go shopping in town and get a text when our table was ready. Our family of 5 all enjoyed their food. One of my daughters got a chicken quesadilla which came with bacon, such a nice added ingredient! Good food and good service! read more

We had lunch at The Buffalo Cafe, and it's easy to see why it's such a popular spot. It has a small town feel that makes you feel right at home. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed. I ordered the Southwest Turkey Melt, and it was so good. If you're looking for a laid back lunch spot in the area, this is an easy recommendation! read more

I highly recommend the wings; cooked perfectly. The Parmesan fries were ok but wouldn't order again. Caesar salad was good and the croutons were fresh. Service was excellent and the place had a good vibe. read more

Honestly, amazing service from both the hostess and our server. The hostess was so sweet and made us feel welcome as soon as we walked in :) The wait time for breakfast for our group of 3 was about 10 minutes, and it went by quickly while we walked around the town. The food came out fast and was very yummy . There were lots of families eating together, and the atmosphere felt warm and homey. We had a great time!! Thank you. read more

Arguably the most reliable restaurant in all of WF... Buffalo Cafe has been in business for years and it's not hard to see why... It's got that "Montana Feel" the moment you walk in, everyone is super friendly (you can tell the staff loves working there), the food is excellent, and it's a reasonably priced place to get a high quality mountain-style meal. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, they have it all at BC... We've never had a bad meal and have probably eaten there 20+ times. We've been coming to WF for 10 years and always stop into BC. If you're looking for a hardy meal before or after hitting mountain, BC is the place to go. read more

Had to come back here for the second day in a row, it's that legit. You know it's a great breakfast spot when the food is literally falling off of your plate there's so much. Also, Alex, the dude at the front dealing with the hoards of hungry people waiting to get in was cool as hell. Id be pretty stressed if that was me but he couldn't have been more chill. Also loved pissing on a Zyn in the urnal while seeing this sign. 5 thumbs up read more

10/10 My family and I ate here TWICE during our three day stay. This place has so much charm and the coffee is a must. You cannot order a bad meal from here - I tried a little from everyone's plate and everything was top notch. The French toast is amazing AND the hashbrowns are to die for! The service has been excellent the two times we've been here although it's very busy. You will not be disappointed. read more

Food was great and the service was as well. Really cozy friendly place for breakfast and dinner.

It's a very nice and cozy atmosphere when you walk in. We went for the dinner service and were served very quickly. I ordered the elk tacos which were enormous and covered almost the entire plate. The elk was very good and lean and I definitely got full off of this plate. I also ordered the huckleberry sundae without the chocolate fudge. It was yummy and I definitely had the essence of huckleberry to take home with me for my last meal. Overalls portion sizes were big for what you get. Thanks for having us! read more

While visiting Whitefish during the UTBS music festival, my husband and I came to Buffalo Cafe for a bite to eat. We understood how absolutely slammed they were that weekend with so many visitors and people in town so we appreciated their hospitality and kindness. We ended up taking a seat at the counter and enjoyed our breakfast there. This good old-fashioned diner serves up some tasty and hearty breakfast meals. I decided to try what they called a "Buffalo pie" - the morning glory - which was a stack of breakfast goodness. It had hashbrowns piled high with gravy, cheese, onions, sausage, and eggs. My husband also ordered one of the Buffalo pies, but I don't recall which one. The service was fast and friendly, and they definitely kept our coffee topped off. If you're just looking for a stick to your ribs meal served with a smile, come check out Buffalo Cafe. read more

Went there on 2 occasions on back to back days. First day I did take out, second day we ate in. Both experiences were great, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the food was great. When back in Whitefish we will go back! read more

Such a nice staff and the food was amazing. Would absolutely make this a regular stop

Casual, quick and nice atmosphere for hearty breakfast. Go early, as it can get very busy during the summer mornings.

Nice local cafe with a lot of locals. Service was quick and friendly. Biscuits and gravy were OK but didn't wow me. On the other hand, the Potatoes were great. My son's hollandaise. Sauce on the eggs Benedict was curdled and not appetizing and he was very unhappy with it. read more

In town visiting family and the buffalo cafe was on the docket for breakfast. Very nice atmosphere and our server was great. I just had the classic breakfast, and it was more than enough to fill me up. The prices were reasonable compared to other places in Whitefish and this is a place I can see making regular visits too. Thank you for a great meal read more

Not bad. They should say on the menu that's it's a half sandwich. They do have good shrimp tacos though. Disappointed in the sandwich read more

Met an older gentleman who was interviewing me for a wife here at 7a on a Tuesday. The lady taking care of us was full of energy and joy, consistently making sure my cup of Joe was topped off. Portions are massive and packed with flavor, great American comfort dining to say the least. Place gets absolutely buzzing as it's clear it's a Whitefish classic, but we were never rushed or alienated as we enjoyed a 3 hour meal together. Super comfortable with nice warm lighting allowing you to enjoy the warm atmosphere. Look forward to feasting here again when it starts to hit those crazy Montana weather conditions! read more

Dale our server was so fun and engaging it just started the entire experience off positive. Seeing all the food fly by made our decision easy - we ordered parm fry's and burgers. The meat in the burger was so tasty and different. It had to be the area because it was flavorful and cooked right. Dale explained different local beers and how they support local farms. We loved the entire meal and experience. When we saw the milkshakes being served with a pile of whip cream we were so tempted but full. I could see why this place is a local favorite. This is a cute space too. Don't miss out on this experience. read more

The service here is second to none. Such a great place to come to as a family, especially with little kids. They provide baskets of clean toys for them to play with and keep them entertained!

While vacationing with my daughter, we were recommended to go to this restaurant by two different people. The wait was about 25 minutes which I honestly didn't think was a big deal for a Sunday morning. The host was great, got our phone number and said they would text us when the table was ready. We walked around and looked at the local shops while we waited. Our waitress was lovely, gave us some recommendations. We both ended getting an omelette which was so good. The potatoes that come with it are to die for! The food came out pretty quick and was very hot. Great food, great service and would recommend. read more

This place was busy, busy and righteously so. The food was delicious and portions equivalent to the cost all in all it was fabulous. I think this has to be the best breakfast restaurant in whitefish.

The hashbrowns that they served with them were so tasty and flavorful and were definitely not just an afterthought, They were part of the dish and super delicious.. . The eggs perfectly cooked The service was also great. Highly recommend this place. read more

Visiting town for a half marathon and worked up an appetite! We actually stopped by a different restaurant who was closing and suggested Buffalo Cafe. There was a short wait, about 5 min for a two top. They had a large variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner items- breakfast served until 2. We both ordered breakfast, it was quick, fresh & tasty! We ordered two versions of the "Buffalo pie" (a hash brown specialty) which came with your choice of toast, a side of biscuits w/gravy and a side of french toast. I personally would have liked the hash browns more well done, but I also didn't ask for them that way. Service was excellent, we had a couple people check on us and offer coffee/tea refills which we really appreciated. Great experience! read more

Cute little Cafe with some local character. Food was delish! Perfect for brekky, lunch or dinner. Ive only been here twice and had breakfast once and dinner once. Was able to get in right away during weekday for breakfast but had to wait around 20 min to be seated for dinner. The town is quaint and serene so the wait was worth it and it was nice outside to wait. read more

This is a cute lunch spot in downtown Whitefish! We stopped here for a quick bite after a trip to the bookstore, next door. We shared a juicy jalapeño burger, the light, fluffy bun is made in house ; loved the diced charred jalapeños on top the charred, juicy burger. The strawberry banana shake was delicious, it was a pleasant surprise to taste the fresh fruit with the creamy ice cream , compared to the fake syrups you typically see. I think we walked in at the end of their lunch service, but they were awesome and didn't rush us! read more

Has been a 5 star from the first time I ate there 8+ years ago and has continued to deliver every single dang time since. Breakfast or lunch/dinner options it makes no difference, this place is fire.

If you ever find yourself up on the popular 3rd street in whitefish, this is definitely the place to be. Portions were immense, packed with flavor and the burger I got tasted amazing, looked great as you can tell from the picture and to top it all off the huckleberry shake made this place so much more worthwhile. Give it a try, the staff is friendly and inviting to tourists and locals alike, it feels like a cozy American restaurant. Love it read more

We came back for the second day in a row for breakfast. My companion went with the veggie scramble with extra crispy bacon and I chose Leslie's Buffalo Pie, which is a mountain of fluffy hash browns with sautéed veggies and cheese with poached eggs on top. It was a hearty delicious generous breakfast. Though to be honest, I'm still thinking about the Higgins Scramble from the other day. Friendly, neighborhood feel with nice people and great food. Hope to come back one day! read more
