Absolutely incredible. Buffalo burger was the best we have ever had. We had 4! All were incredible. My son (12 yrs) literally exclaimed, "this is the best I've ever had!" We had 2 desserts: freakin awesome brownie cake, and peanut butter Oreo creme pie ! They were both homemade and OFF THE CHAIN AWESOME! We will definitely come here again. It was incredible. These places like this don't exist everywhere. Thank me later read more

It took over an hour to get our food and there was only about 8 other people here Would definitely not recommend read more

We went there for dinner, but we got a lot more than just food. Bob the owner provides an experience that you're not likely to forget. His colorful and larger than life personality will stay with you much longer after you had enjoyed and digested the food. The food itself is not extraordinary, You have your standard greasy spoon fare, but again you have to hear how Bob lovingly describes his food. It sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and you wouldn't be wrong. The gift shop is definitely full of charm and character, and it can keep you occupied and entertained while you wait for your food. They prefer payment in cash if you have enough on you. Definitely return for the small town charm, and there's always Bob. read more

We took a chance even though the place is old with worn out cushions benches with duck tape. Waited almost an hour and was asked three times what was our order. We had the tilapia fish & chips and Mark 1 special. The fish was so thin and the fries were dark, not golden. The ribeye was chopped in small pieces, barely any meats on the sandwich. Need a major change on food, service, and renovation. read more

My friend and I arrived late evening and were seated in the Cactus Room which had a charming and run down atmosphere. Only about 4 or 5 tables were occupied by other patrons, so not crowded at all. We ordered fairly quickly, and the 20 minutes or so I waited for my lemonade was a harbinger of things to come. For dinner we ordered a buffalo burger and a wagyu burger. They took 80 MINUTES to arrive. That length of time for two burgers to be prepared is just unexplainable. You'll see other reviews here that say stuff like "you have to wait a little longer because everything's made to order" but that's a lot of Pollyanna hooey. It does not, it CANNOT take an hour and twenty minutes to make two burgers of any kind in the absence of incompetence or sadism. Explanations for this from our server were weak and unconvincing. Why two stars instead of one? The wagyu burger was delicious and the buffalo burger was fine. The owner was also friendly and funny. Neither one of those positives comes close to compensating for the wait though. Other reviewers seem sufficiently charmed by the owner to overlook everything else - God bless. I cannot recommend this place. read more

Food is always Amazing tonight we had the Bison Burger and The American Waygu Burger which was so tasty and juicy and loaded with flavor. Please be patient when ordering due to the food being fresh and the orders are actually made to order, Which means when you order they slap your order on the grill. It's such a great eatery and their desserts are outstanding, My favorite is the banana cream pie, and we ordered the apple pie which was also very tasty. Be patient and enjoy a conversation with bob the owner till you food comes. You'll love it. The Restaurant is Nostalgic and took out from a page of the Wild Wild West. Stop by grab a bite you'll love it read more

We're visiting Zion National Park as tourists--people this area depends on. Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was so unpleasant, it left a truly bad impression. We got in and waited by the door, no sign of -"wait to be seated" so we got in and tried to sit, that's when we were "greeted"--if you can call it that--by an ill manner young woman who abruptly asked where were we going, as if we did something wrong. I asked if we needed to pay first and order at the cashier but she told us we needed to look at the standing menu before sitting. We explained that we had already reviewed it online and knew exactly what we wanted to order. Still, she insisted we not sit until we looked at the menu in person. Fine--we humored her, even though it was completely unnecessary. There was only one clean table; the other three were dirty. We stood near one to give her a chance to clean it. Instead, she ordered us to sit at a different table. I told her I didn't want to sit there because the cushion was torn, and both my husband and I were wearing shorts. Rudly she mumbled that all the seats had tears--so it didn't matter. That was it. We decided to leave--but not before I made it clear why: "Your service is terrible, your attitude is worse, and if this place is empty, it's because of people like you." She had the audacity to respond with, "Excuse me?" Yes--excuse you. She clearly knows nothing about hospitality, customer service, or even basic courtesy. I was willing to overlook the fact that the place is dark, dingy, and outdated. I never even got to try the food--but honestly, even if the food had been amazing, it wouldn't have made up for the way we were treated. Good service is a must, especially in a place that lives off tourism. As tourists in Zion, we bring business to this area. Local establishments literally survive because of visitors like us. When we're treated like a nuisance instead of valued guests, it's not just disappointing--it's unacceptable. There are plenty of other restaurants around here that actually appreciate their customers. We'll be taking our time and money to one of those. read more

Came here 15 minutes before closing and was worried we came when the kitchen closed. Bob happily welcomed my boyfriend & I, he gave us a quick run through of the menu and highly recommended his famous burger! We decided to order the famous burger and the wagyu burger, Bob was so kind to cut&split the burger for us so my boyfriend and I can share! We ordered the pb pie and the chocolate pie ! My favorite is the chocolate pie, the crust is so perfectly made I would eat it by itself if it was on the menu! Before we left, Bob had a little book next to the entrance for customers to sign. I love the ambiance &welcoming environment of this place. There is also a cute little store next door! Would come back again. read more

Great little find. The steak sandwich was excellent. Best tasting sandwich we have had in a while. A few pieces of gristle but not bad. The fries were fresh and tasted home made. The buffalo burger was great. And heed Bob's warning no ketchup necessary. I love that they have cards out to encourage you to talk and play and not be on your phones. Also - and this is important- SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT!!! Bob makes some killer pies. The banana cream pie had fresh bananas and was delicious. The coconut cream pie is topped with crumbled macaroons with a chocolate bottom. Wow these were amazing. read more

Okay food. Great pie! Waited over an hour for our food while the staff argued loudly with each other. Very uncomfortable and quite un-nerving. Others who came in much later got served way before us. The owner/cook apologized for the waitress who finally left. He took time to talk with us in the end - the only saving grace to the evening. Hard pass for me on a next time - unless I'm getting pie to go and it doesn't take 15 minutes to get it! read more

It took over AN HOUR AND A HALF to get our food (not sure why we waited - bad idea), and after all that, one of the meals was almost inedible. How can it take that long to make food and still have fries that are nearly raw potatoes and a sandwich that is drenched in grease. Truly a dining experience out of hell. read more

After hearing that buffalo burger is a must try in this area. I figured why not when in Zion. Upon entering the restaurant I was Leary and apprehensive. The place has a lot of character, rustic, and charm. I saw a few patrons dining. I figured they are still here . The owner is friendly and chatty. I ordered the buffalo burger to go. It was cooked medium well and tasty. The fries were a bit soggy. I'd say I had my experience while in the area. read more

We had burgers and they were good! You couldn't get a lot of the things listed on yelp due to Bobby being gone. Make sure to go when Bobby is there!!! read more

We came here after a long day of exploring national parks and to be honest we didn't expect the hospitality we received the moment we walked in. We were greeted by the owner who instantly struck up a conversation like we were his long twice removed distant cousin from his mom's sister side who got divorced. Needless to say, I still felt like family. Will be visiting this place specifically when I'm in the area. read more

I wanted to shout out this place because it was genuinely charming and wholesome. The cook/owner seems kind. The place is not refined by any means, but I love to see people attempt vegan dishes, and I applaud his effort. The food was good, and just for the sake of sincerity and enjoying our experience, I think we will be back next time. read more

After spending the day at Zion, my friends and I were famished. Luckily, Buffalo Trading Company was only a 25 minute drive from the Visitor's Center in Zion. Upon entering, we were greeting by the owner Bob. He was very lively and was cracking jokes left and right. We took a look at the one menu they have on display and were then seated in one of their (maybe 5?) booths. I ordered the veggie burger. It's not on the menu, but if you ask Bob about his vegetarian options, he will tell you about it. It reminded me of a Beyond meat burger in terms of the texture. It had an amazing pineapple marinade. The fries it came with were clearly made fresh to order, as was everything else. I tried a bite of my friend's Buffalo Burger and was impressed with how amazing it was. I've never had buffalo meat before, and was pleasantly surprised to see that it wasn't as gamey as I was expecting. We finished the meal off with two slices of pie: banana cream and apple. Originally, we ordered the slices to go so we could eat them on our drive. Bob brought them out with the containers open so that we could have a bite if we wanted to. Once we had one bite, we couldn't stop! We absolutely devoured the pies. Everything was amazing, and the service was top notch. This is such an amazing gem tucked away in Virgin, Utah. It is a must the next time you are in the area! read more

Don't miss out. It's easy to miss on your way in or out of Zion, as it sits back a little off the road, but you will be glad you stopped. All of the food is freshly made when you order. Fresh cut fries, the burgers, even the veggies for the burgers are freshly cut when ordered. Oh and there is pie! Bob is great, so come see him and eat! read more

We stopped at Buffalo Bobs after reading other yelp reviews on our summer road trip...and it was an experience. I originally gave it 4 stars because we were not told the price of the pie that Bob talked us into getting. Then I changed my review to 5 stars after thinking through the great memories we made here. The burgers were delicious - we all ate the same meal and we all cleared our plates after a long day of travel. Bob is a character and if you are offended easily or you want a fancy dining experience steer clear of this place...if you like entertainment, a great burger, and meeting interesting people then I highly recommend stopping here and be prepared to be entertained....and talked into buying $9 slices of pie... while the pie was good...if we had known the price we would have only picked 1 or 2 slices and split it between our family. If you want a beer Bob will tell you what you will have (we did not order beer, though a neighboring table did). If you eat your burger with a knife and fork be prepared to be told to eat it all together so the flavors meld together (this happened to a different neighboring table). If you want advice on where to go in Zion ask Bob, he'll tell you. Bob is passionate about his food and his pies, and stopping here was a great memory on our road trip adventure. I guess what we paid for in pie was made up for entertainment ;) Thank you Bob for a memorable meal! read more

Came here to get some gator jerky. Ended up with 6 packages of jerky. The sticks in my photos are not made by the owners or the shop which he does tell you forthright. We did also buy some of the beef jerky that they make themselves. It's good to support local businesses. The food seems to be legit too, we didn't have time to dine in but we would definitely try the kitchen food if we were in town longer. I highly recommend this shop. It's worth a stop. The shop also has tons of unique trinkets and gifts to browse and purchase as well. read more

Buffalo Trading Company - Tons of jerky flavors. Yum. - Diners Near Me - Virgin, Utah

What a kick this place is! Fabulous desserts, excellent sauteed veggies, tasty mashed potatoes, a great bison burger, and a strong dose of local color! I enjoyed the enthusiastic, effusive owner chef who described eash aspect of each menu item. The gift store/reading post was fun to explore as well. While the restaurant across the street may have been newer and "classier", I appreciated the way this place made you feel like extended family. Stick with the burger; better prepared than the steak. read more

Tried wagyu and bison burgers and both were very good wait is a little too long but its normal because the cool everything fresh

A culinary delight. The second you walk out n Bob greats you with a smile on his face. While looking around you see a sign that says "The Chef is always right" and let me tell you Bob says the burgers are seasoned perfectly and to not put any condiments on the burger. We elected to get the Buffalo burgers. I can't stress enough listen to Bob "The Chef is always right". The burger was full of flavor, lean and pure perfection. The low star reviews about Bob and his personality are not correct. Bob is amazing, a character of sorts but knows what he is talking about. You're not just buying an $18 Buffalo burger, you are getting one of the best burgers you have ever had, along with Bob. Part of the allure is Bob. I have to say if Bob wasn't the way he is it would def take away from the experience. I cold called this place, I didn't see the reviews until I had ordered. Impressive and happy to see he is almost a 5 star with over 275 reviews. Keep up the great work Bob and thank you for making our trip amazing. Exceeded Expectations! read more

Absolutely 5/5. Wonderful quirky little place with delicious burgers. Would absolutely come back. Bob, the owner, is great and full of personality. We ordered the Wagyu beef burger (5/5) and the Bison burger (4.5/5 - a little dry in comparison, but would be outstanding if we hadn't had tried the Wagyu one right before). Both were great and would order again. We also ordered the apple pie for dessert (no pics bc we got it to go). It was absolutely delicious - double crusted apple pie with fresh cream. You must get if you like apple pie! Bathroom Rating: 6.5/10 - single room, all-inclusive bathroom. A little dark and a little small, but clean enough and fit the ambience well. read more

Good good. Service terrible but lots of fun. This was dinner in a very strange place with one cook and one waitress. Lots of people waiting but no complaining. If it wasn't so unique I would have walked out because of the wait. read more

Such a friendly, welcoming place!! Looks kinda quirky from the outside and the restaurant/local arts store sits far back from the street. If you're in the area for dinner, the food is excellent. We both had the Wagu burger with fries. Everything is fresh and cooked when you order. The best burger we've had in while!! The pies for dessert are made from scratch. We had key lime and banana cream pies. Delicious!! The pies alone are worth the trip. Bob, the owner, is so welcoming and takes time to talk with the customers. He's a very entertaining guy!! The other two staff were also wonderful. We'll definitely stop here next time we're in the area. read more

OK let's get be crystal clear: the owner/host/waiter/cashier/curator is a sweet man who clearly loves to serve people and share his passion with the tourists who stumble upon this establishment. That said, the food is ok: No, it's not inedible but it's also not 'the best burger you've ever had'. The vaule in a 2024 economy is below average. The service is at best confusing and at worst non-existent. Come here if you want a quirky experience that you and your family won't forget anytime soon. Come here to browse a very interesting collection of original Native American art while the overwhelmed dude in the kitchen is working on your order. Come here for the friendly lectures about condiments and pie. Come here to test your partner's patience and empathy. Come here to confront yourself. read more
