This place has great burgers and fries! There are several other options available including several kinds of fish, Buffalo burgers and elk burgers, salads and sandwiches. There is a decent beer selection and they will pour you a sample if you aren't sure which one you want. The staff is friendly. read more

Incredible place! Parking lot always looks full, but it's spacious inside with plenty of seating, food is great, staff is friendly. Stop by if you're in the south metro! read more

Food is great, staff is even better. Wish they had more kitchen capacity. Local favorite. read more

Really nice atmosphere and the staff is super friendly. The interior has an interesting layout that makes each section feel private. The cheese curds were amazing. The juicy Lucy was ok but then again, I don't really find them all that impressive. But food was good and I felt very comfortable there, almost like I was visiting a close family member whose home felt very homey, like I've spent time growing up there. read more

I wanted to try the Elk burger because I like to be adventurous. I had the Gorgonzola with bacon. It was sooo good. I liked that the elk burger was not greasy and it seemed very lean but still flavorful with a good hamburger texture. I also had onion rings and those were pretty good too, you get a lot of them. My husband had a traditional burger, the Wisconsin, and he thought it was really good as well. Elk Burger read more

A friend of mine has an office in Savage. We've found the Buffalo Tap is a fine choice for burgers and such if you're in the area. Of note, they offer their interpretation of the Juicy Lucy which I find comparable to the 5-8 Club. In other words not bad but inferior to Matt's, The Nook or The Blue Door. Most recently I tried an El Diablo burger, substituting the BT Original "Hot" wing sauce for their spicy BBQ sauce. It was flavorful but that night I wanted something eye watering, face melting hot and it just didn't approach that level. Oh well. Sides and appetizers including the aforementioned wings are solid road house fare. Service is friendly. Atmosphere casual. All in all, no complaints. read more

Now I know that everyone goes here for the burgers so bear with me... My partner and I had fish and our friend ordered a burger. (Cheese curds also!) My fish sandwich was decent, my partner's fish mediocre and nothing extraordinary from the burger. The cheese curds were very salty ! I've experienced better. The wait was amazingly long and there is no waiting area. It was packed and very uncomfortable. My overall experience was not grand and I see no reason to revisit. Our waitress was pretty nice, however. Not a place for me. Especially not a place for vegetarians. I still always hope that a burger joint will know how to do something more than average. read more

We didn't even get to sit down. We walked in and someone (I'm assuming a waitress or host) had a horrible attitude toward our service dogs (both of us are military veterans). Another waitress corrected her and told her that they are service animals. We were about to be taken to a table when the grumpy lady said we should have to sit on the porch. A moment later we were asked for their papers. If they knew service dog law (which is protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act) they can ask two questions. Are they service dogs? What service do they provide? I will add that it is very easy to get a "card" from the internet for like 50 bucks for anyone (we've seen it done time and time again and it gives real service animals a bad rep) and generally speaking we don't carry around their good citizen cards. We opted to just leave. The food looked and smelled great and we were excited to try it. Wound up going to another place (I won't mention the name here) and were welcomed and had a fantastic meal that fixed the night. Next time we are in town we would really love to give this place a chance. Please educate your staff on ADA regulations. read more

Food is decent atmosphere is fun as it feels like you're in a northern Minnesota cabin. But staff attitude has been a problem the last couple times my wife and I have been there. read more

Love the food here! If you're in the need for a great Bloody Mary and even better burger this is the place for you!

Ok place to eat.. super pricey and they make you feel like you need to hurry up and leave.

delicious food! went on a date here for mothers day and it was great! atmosphere is very welcoming.

Everything is good here; try one of the many Juicy Lucy options, or the roast beef hoagie.

Great atmosphere, food was good. Service was great. The Bison and Elk burgers were top notch. read more

Buffalo Tap - American Near Me - Savage, Minnesota

HUGE menu and variety. Everything from the wings to the Bizon burger to curds are really good. The sit down part is a strange ambience...older crowd...the restaurant has been added on to and is different inside but not bad. I'll be going back! read more

Pretty good, got the "little" big foot burger and it HUUUMUNGUS.. Which is a good thing. Fries were good, cheese curds were good. Nothing to complain about Next time I'll have to try the buffalo wings next time since "buffalo" is in their name :). read more

I Love all their food, you could order almost anything. My favorite is their pigs in a blanket pickles!

Food sucked. Apps ( jap poppers and cheese sticks) tasted like they were from a freezer from a store. The "famous " burgers were way over cooked and tasteless. Overpriced as well. Our waiter was awesome ( Dominic) they took my burger off the bill, I ordered medium rare knowing it would be medium at best, it was well done+ the fries were cool and again seemed like I could have bought them at a grocery store. I only ate 1/2 of the burger and still have gut rot 4+ hours later read more

Always a great meal from this place! Lots of choices to pick from on the menu! Great hamburgers, super friendly servers! They take super care that everything is sanitized during this COVID. Owner is always present in the restaurant checking to make sure everything is good. He has always been very supportive of youth sports! read more

Very good burger and sand which choices! Log cabin decor inside, lots of seating. Food was great and came out quick!

This place was pretty good and very busy which tells you that it's a really loved dinner spot. Usually if a place is really busy everyday. To me that means something is worth visiting. They have a good list of what to choose as far as burgers go. Not a place to visit if you want in and out,this is sit and chat place. I had the chili first which was good and not too spicy. Then I picked the Bison Juicy Lucy which was very good and worth the cook time wait. I would definitely recommend this joint if you're ever in the Savage/Burnsville area. It did not disappoint and I will go back sometime for more good food. The next time I visit I will try something else so I have something to compare. read more

I was really disappointed with this visit. The server took forever to come back to get our order and wasnt very welcoming. The Old Wisconsin Juicy Lucy was very bland and not appetizing in the least. The only good thing was the Tater Tots. I dont plan on returning. read more

Super pricey for the food. Staff friendly and attentiveness is a hit or miss. Cheese curds great. Burgers are good and variety great; over $45 for 2 people with normal meals, one appetizer and sodas to drink. read more

The food was absolutely amazing. We came on a saturday night so as expected it was busy but the server made his routes quickly and ensured that we were taken care of. I'm from out of state and now my family and i have found our new favorite food place. Definitely a place to try if you haven't already! They have so many options to choose from! read more

The quintessential Midwest bar and grill that delivers more than you would expect. Food is just awesome, especially the juicy Lucy but worth exploring other items. Excellent beer selection with a great rotating tap. Highly recommend if you are in the area! read more

Awesome burgers!! We were here with a group of 8 for a birthday party. Service was awesome! All the burgers looked great! I had the tap burger and it was perfect! read more

The eats: Went for a Juicy Lucy with deep fried pickle spears and a tall Michelob. The burger was perfectly made, but under-seasoned. I LOVED the pickle spears - so good! The service: Fast and friendly. The price: Super fair! The atmosphere: Your favorite hometown bar, only well-lit and clean! Will for sure be going back. read more

Hit or miss with the food, but even their miss is pretty great. Sometimes they are phenomenal! I think it all depends on who is in the kitchen. We've never had a bad meal here. We did encounter an issue with the bill recently, but the way the manager handled it ensured we would keep coming back. read more

I took my out of town friend here to get a great burger, brew and let's not forget the spicy cheese curds. I was a little apprehensive about taking him here as he is a hunter. But we were impressed with the not only the food but also the atmosphere and service. Now every time he comes in he asks for us to go at least once if not twice to the Buffalo Tap. You can't go wrong with any of their burgers. I normally will get and elk or buffalo burger. I personally love cheese and my visit wouldn't be complete with out an order of the cheese curds. I love spicy food so I always get the cheese curds with chili's in it. read more

Really REALLY greasy bar food. Expensive and really bad service (like an hour wait on fried food - seriously?). I need to stop giving this place a chance when there are far better options nearby. read more

Love coming here with my family. The servers are as amazing as the food they serve. I have 3 younger kids and they always try to seat us in a more private space, which helps other patrons enjoy their dinners, and helps us to relax as well. The last time we dined in, we brought 5 kids with us (12, 10, 6, 5 & 3) and the service was exceptional. Our server kept checking on us to make sure drinks were full and kids were entertained while we waited for our food (we ordered juicy Lucy's, which takes a bit longer to cook). Everyone finished their plates AND appetizers! The younger kids even kept "stealing" from the adult plates and if you know young kids you'll know they rarely finish their own plates, let alone pig out on all the food at the table! So in conclusion, this place is the bomb.com and should be on your radar as one of the best places to eat. read more

Well I think the best thing I can say right off the bat is that we went back to back nights. It was so good, but the waitress the first night was terrible and trying to tell us how to eat the food. The second day they were simply short staffed. Now despite that, the food was amazing. From burgers, to steaks, to anything in between. For the price point the food was above and beyond what I expected. Looking at the menu I was immediately impressed with the variety of meats. While I am not a personal fan of Bison or Elk I have friends who are and this is a place we can all go. read more

Ordered hamburger, thought a juicy would take to long. Took over 15 minutes for a Diet Coke. Then all the food (appetizers and entree) came out at the same time. Chili fries - don't waste your time. They were lukewarm. Only excellent item were the spicy cheese curds. Only thing got and they were supposed to be the appetizer! read more

I grew up in Buffalo NY. Who says these are famous wings? They are down right nasty. These are some of the worst wings around...even for MN. Who ever says these are good wings...don't know a good wing. read more

Into this restaurant many times in the past and never had issues like this. the atmosphere in this place is great centered around a large fireplace on a cold winter night it's sublime. Be careful when they put you in one of the add-on sections with lots of Windows it can get a little cool on a wintry night. Ordered an Irish car bomb. I understand bartenders that don't get around very much. had to explain that you don't put the whiskey in the Bailey's cream. They corrected it and it was fine. The smokehouse brisket came with miniscule amount of barbecue sauce and I know that you can always ask for more but when you get a busy server that doesn't work out. Sandwich was a little on the cold side. Then I think our server forgot about us. I had to get my own to go container and stood around with coats on to get a check to pay. read more

Great local spot for a casual dinner with the fam. Good beer, good burgers and really good cheese curds. Only reason for the three stars is the service is hit or miss depending on who you get. One of the servers was slow as a turtle becausetalked so much I actually thought she may sit down at our table with us. #awkward read more

The wings are the reason to come. Usually quite good, although occasionally off. Stick with the popular recipes. Some of the exotic ones are gilding the lily. i had a decent burger here once, but i also had a juicy luicy that was super dry and over cooked. the gf got some fish tacos here once that were pretty off. once again, stick with the wings. beer menu is decent, put priced at the top, so maybe one to wash down the wings and finish your buzz at home. plenty of screens if you need to see the game. it's worth mentioning that this is a Packers fan hang, so if you wanna watch the Vikings, there will be a few screens for you, but the sound will be the packers game if they happen to be playing at the same time. If you are a Packers fan, this is probably one of your best choices for where to watch. good service. good for families, casual hang, casual date. read more

I ordered chicken wings -- the garlic parmesan sauce on top. It was hotter than I expected but not blistering. They were okay but nothing exceptional. Disappointing me big time were the celery sticks that were fresh a long time ago but not today. That hollowish condition. They should be embarrassed to have let those out of the kitchen. And the "ranch dressing" was a poor excuse for ranch dressing. :-(. Our table service was fine -- no complaints at all with our server. This was my second visit to the restaurant and I probably won't go again; I just wasn't impressed. :-( read more
