    The service was delightful and the food was outstanding! My mother and our friend love the Indian Tacos and I highly recommend the stuffed burger!

    Buffalo Joe's is good but, just an Average Joe's I am sure the folks in Pawhuska are glad to have Buffalo Joe's. The only other options are the tourist trap and mediocre Mexican food. We were at Buffalo Joe's midafternoon. The restaurant stayed busy. Customers coming and going, and arms full of to-go orders lined up on the counter. This is an old Pizza Hut converted with a few country décor items to make it a small-town café. The service is adequate, the prices are very fair. I had an odd Club Sandwich. Everything you expect on a Club Sandwich only with naan instead of the typical toasted sandwich bread. It was a good sandwich. The naan didn't make it any better or worse, just different. My wife had the Buffalo Burger, no cheese, cooked medium rare. The waitress grimaced when my wife ordered the patty medium rare. The restaurant does not like to cook the bison any way other than well done. Rare or medium rare is the only way to eat bison. The cook got it pretty close. That is hard to do on a thin patty. Both meals came with fresh cut fries. They had a fresh potato flavor, but the crispness only held up for a few minutes. As they cooled, they became limp drooping potato sticks. The potatoes had not been properly prepared to make the good crispy fry that I prefer. Some people love those kinds of flaccid fries. They did have a better flavor than the processed crinkle cut fries that small town drive-ins sometimes serve. If you are not town bound to Pawhuska, eat in Bartlesville. However, Indian tacos on Tuesday might be worth a try.

    Talk about a lot of bang for your buck here! My son and i wanted to grab breakfast before hitting the road on a Sunday morning this was the only place open. Has everything from waffles to omelettes at an incredible value. We ordered and finished our meal in probably 30 min or less. I was never offered a refill and also charged a milk when it should've came with the kids meal but we were in a rush and didn't even want to bother. Overall the place is great value for pretty basic breakfast staples!

    This place is extremely loud to the point of hurting my ears. There is nothing to suppress the noise. Noise suppression items are cheap. There is no excuse for this. The food was quite good and reasonably priced. A little heavy on the salt. Service was adequate.

    Their chicken-fried steak which is as big as your head. With a river of cream gravy

    Ok, this is in a former Pizza Hut painted beige. But don't let that deter you. Inside those slanted windows are some of the best hamburgers and chicken-fried steaks around. You could bathe in that cream gravy. Avoid the club on naan. It's a naan starter. But everything else...

    Had dinner at Buffalo Joe's and really enjoyed the Pickle O's - the breading was excellent, tasty and not at all greasy! Definitely worth trying. I had their Buffalo burger with fries - the burger was cooked well but the fries were not very appealing either visually or in their texture and taste! My wife had their salmon with the fried Okra and brown beans - it was OK but nothing to write home about!

    Bison Burger, delicious!
    Michele O.

    The Pioneer Woman Mercantile and majority of the shops in this town were closed on Sundays...Bah-Humbug!! I drove over an hour to try the Mercs breakfast! So thankfully Buffalo Joe's was nearby, and open. I was already is a glum mood, and as I drove up to Buffalo Joe's...it looked like an uneventful establishment, but I should never judge. We were told to seat ourselves and immediately my waitress, Marissa, greeted us and poured me a cup of delicious coffee. I wasn't in the mood for "diner" food, but I needed to feed the depression inside me. So indeed I ordered, and I was going to make it good! I ordered the fried mushrooms and loved it!! Nice and crunchy breading on the outside, and a fresh juicy bite on the inside...The bison burger was delicious, and their French fries were also seasoned well and crispy...My daughter enjoyed her grilled cheese sandwich so we both were satisfied. There is absolutely nothing special to look at about this place. My suggestion is that this place come up with a juicy double bacon, or a mile high cheesy, chili type fries, and a badass apple pie with vanilla ice cream...Just something "extra will make this establishment more exciting. We are in the middle of nowhere, and this place I'm sure thrives on locals and passerby's. I'm grateful Buffalo's has better than average food, Great service, and good coffee! Smack me for judging.

    Our party of 9 really liked our meal at buffalo Joes. Loaded fries, hot hamburger w/gravy, meatloaf, catfish, stuffed burger, chicken fried steak, BLTs, were al delicious. $130 for 9 people plus tip.

    Buffalo Joes may have the ambiance of an old Pizza Hut but it doesn't even matter when the food comes out. Perfect fluffy buttermilk pancakes served with soft whipped butter, the kind of pancakes that will make you nostalgic of your grandmother's house for Sunday brunch. Their breakfast burritos are packed to the brim with real scrambled eggs, crisp bacon, ham, shredded hash browns, and lots of gooey delicious cheese. We enjoyed the small town vibe, where people would come in, see someone they know, and visit at their table for a bit. The service was wonderful too. Our waitress was an adorable teenager who got us everything we needed and made sure to check on us throughout the meal. This is a great place for breakfast, especially if you want a little home style cooking.

    The dining area is small. There were people waiting to get in and it's first come-first serve. No…read morereservations. Our steaks were very good. The ice cream and brownie was very good too. The brownie had chocolate chips in them! Service was good and every table & booth was full.

    I had never been to Murphy's in Bartlesville but had heard many good things about it including…read moregreat food and great value. So when we had a chance to partake in a large family gathering at Murphy's I was looking forward to the experience. Upon walking in, I was very surprised at the place as it reminded more of an old diner than a steakhouse. Open since 1946, Murphy's looks like it's been around that long. Lined with red leather seated booths, there was no place for our group of nine to sit except for a round corner booth where we all crammed into like sardines. The menu was quaint, filled with mainly diner dishes and comfort foods. I decided on the favorite, the "Hot Hamburger", which was basically a hamburger on toast, topped with french fries and onions, coated with brown gravy. Service was fine given the fact they were packed with patrons when we arrived. The food was hot and fresh, including the homemade french fries. Everyone in our group seemed content with their food choices. The only real problem was how we were crammed into one little booth and there was no room to relax and visit. I would recommend Murphy's to anyone looking for a home style meal. If you're looking for a steak house experience, try somewhere else or you'll be disappointed.
