So good!! The food here is really excellent. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice. The outside would be especially nice in the fall or spring when the weather is cooler. (the church directly across the street is beautiful). My family and I came here twice on our vacation to Palmetto Bluff, once for lunch and once for dinner. Both times the food was excellent. My only complaint is that the menu was basically the same. (I would've hoped for some different dishes since many people dine here multiple times throughout their stay because there are very limited options on Palmetto Bluff itself). The staff were generally friendly and attentive to my large party. I would certainly come back here and recommend it to other visitors/vacationers. read more

We were road tripping through and were told to stop in bluffton since it was particularly beautiful (and it was!). Buffalos, was also pretty good. I got this intense tuna melt and we also split some artichoke dip. The service was extra good and attentive and I appreciated the togo cups for the iced tea. If the weather allows it, definitely eat outside. You're there for the vibes EOD. read more

Lovely location in Palmetto Bluffs small village area. Inside and outside eating options offered. The restaurant was recently acquired by the Resort from independent owners. Makes sense. That said, there are a lot of "bugs" to fix-- service, service skill set and food. The review is based on dinner service not lunch. We went last week as a family group of 11- always tough on restaurants to handle. Knowing this I spent time in advance explaining our preferred outcome -- seating at a round table so we could talk. Was told they couldn't guarantee but they'd do their best. Night of dinner we show up and they proceed to seat us separately at 2 rounds tables. Had we known we'd have preferred the usual long table even though communicating is though. We decided to just go with the flow. Each table had different servers. Ours was enthusiastic but had little to no experience. Management threw her in the "deep end."not good for her or us. A lot of trouble with wine service ( I'll bring you a bucket -- for your red wine...pouring too much wine in the glasses etc. food ordering not so good....food average at best. Hamburgers were over cooked, dry, etc, Ahi Tuna appetizer turned out to be a spread-- ok but shouldn't you mention it's a spread? My chicken came with really nice asparagus. Only they had a super salty dressing that made them inedible. I seriously like writing good reviews and don't like just pointing out flaws but the evening was just not good. The night before we went to River House and it was a "5"! Same owners. I hope things get fixed because the location is great and ambiance very nice. Think, "Bar and Grill" food. read more

It's a beautiful drive to this restaurant. The location is lovely with outdoor, porch and indoor seating. We would recommend the salmon sandwich and the "wedge" salad with shrimp. I asked for light on the salad dressing, and it was perfect. The beet salad was also very tasty. We went for lunch on a Friday, and it was not at all crowded. The service was very good and attentive. read more

The Sunday brunch is overpriced for the limited selection of brunch items. Also, the quality is mediocre. The mushroom quiche is too firm and flavorless, can't taste the mushrooms. read more

What a beautiful place in a beautiful community! Food was unbelievable. Dessert was delicious. Coffee was robust and not bitter. Entree was superb. Substitutions were handled with a smile. YUMMO! read more

The burger here was solid and I enjoyed the fries. They had local brews, which were a nice complement. The menu is diverse and there are a mix of families with kids and adult looking for a quiet evening. They shuttle the kids outside, to keep the indoor ambiance a bit more adult. It's extremely kid friendly - they offer etch-a-sketches and doodling devices for kids, put Sour Patch Kids in the lemonade, etc. Service was a tad rough around the edges, but everyone was kind and accommodating. It's just a bit slow, so don't expect to rush in and out if you have another agenda. read more

What a great place. Checks a lot of boxes, views, ambiance, service, menu, bar, etc. we stopped by chance after doing a little shopping. Service was great and well done dishes. Prices are very fair considering the area. Well done! read more

I went to Buffalo's for the first time with a group and we were looking forward to a wonderful time. The location cannot be beat, the views are incredible and the restaurant itself is quite lovely. Unfortunately, the food and service did not live up to the location. Several of our meals were just not good. The salmon BLT was almost impossible to pick up and eat as it was. The tuna melt was open faced, but not mentioned on the menu as being that way. The veggie burger was juicy, but too soft for the hard ciabatta roll that it was on. We did enjoy the french fries and the sweet potato fries, and the carrot cake that we all shared was delicious as well They added a service charge for our meal, which is fine, but it would've been nice to be aware ahead of time Also they could not provide individual checks. The group had to be divided up to no more than three on a check. read more

We had a casual lunch here visiting some friends. The ambiance is adorable. The Coachella salad was average. The burger was definitely the better choice. read more

Unlike the experience I had last night, this one was AMAZING!! They did mess up on one of the burgers and under cooked it, but instead of telling us that we ordered it wrong, they made it right and gave a us a free dessert. Hearth Wood Pizza should come here and learn how to treat customers and create a good experience. read more

We had a wonderful dinner on the Fourth of July while visiting Palmetto Bluff! My husband and I sat at the bar and the staff were friendly and welcoming, plus the restaurant is so beautiful. We shared a few things and all was delicious, but what stood out the most was the Pork & Veal Meatballs with pasta. OMG it was so full of flavor & creamy. I highly recommend. read more

I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner here and the service is super slow. I was trying to tell myself I was trippin' for thinking the servers low key had an attitude. For being stuck on the Montage resort the food wasn't bad at all here but the portions are kinda small especially when you're sitting their hungry and waiting 5 ever for your food. read more

We went to Buffalos for dinner & lunch. The burger was the dinner hit with most especially after a long day of flying. We enjoyed lunch at the bar & Leroy was our bartender. He was truly a professional & provided fantastic service. We are still amazed & talking about shrimp cocktail. Wow!! read more

We had a really great experience here. Even though we stopped in during an extremely busy Sunday brunch, the staff was kind, efficient, and made us feel cared for. On Sundays, you have the option to take part in the full brunch buffet or order off the a la Carte menu. We opted for the latter and were so glad because even just the single portion was filling. I ordered the traditional breakfast option that was along the lines of the typical diner staple "2 Eggs-any-style plus sides". Buffalo's version was anything but basic: complete with fresh fruit, baguettes slices, crispy bacon, and scrambled eggs, the entire meal was full of flavor. Our waitress was the true highlight. She was unfazed by the dietary requests our table made and ensured that all food was received in a timely manner. I highly recommend making the trip if you are in Palmetto Bluff (or just in the Bluffton area) you will not be disappointed. read more

Great job on the renovations. Food is excellent. Service was spectacular I enjoyed it immensely

Our interest was to visit Palmetto Bluff. In order to do so, we had check in with the gate guard tell them we were going to Buffalo's for lunch. At the gate, they provide you with CD to listen as you drive along the roads in Palmetto Bluff into the town of Wilson. Once in the town we entered Buffalo's and enjoyed their shrimp tacos. We also enjoyed their butternut squash soup which was also very good. We eventually enjoyed a long walk through the town of Wilson which was quite quaint. read more

Pros - very good service and I love the space. The restaurant has a good vibe - upscale but relaxed. We watched a college basketball game there while eating dinner. Food - I had the broccoli and mozzarella salad with swordfish added. I liked it and would definitely order it again. My wife had the burger. I had a bite. In the world of upscale burgers, we both agreed it was pretty ordinary. read more

Terrible service! We sat for 1.5 hours while everyone around received their food - even people who came in way after us. We asked multiple times if our food would be arriving soon. Our waitress and even the manager said. "We'll check on it." no explanation. Swordfish sandwich was mushy and smelly.!! read more

So unique and beautiful! The food was sooooo good!! I would recommend going it's a high end breakfast place:) read more

The ambiance was really nice. It is located across from the water with beautiful oak trees with Spanish moss. We didn't make a reservation so didn't mind waiting for a table. We had really yummy cocktails while we waited. The bartender was quick and friendly. We requested outside seating bc it was really chilly inside. They still sat us inside. They give kids an erasable scribble pad. Ours kids loved them. Our server was so backed up that someone else took our drink order. The server took our order for food and didn't come back until well after it was delivered. One person didn't get their meal. When she finally came to check in everyone else was already done eating. She said their meal accidentally went to another table. Our waters were empty as were our cocktails. The kids needed more ketchup. The manager offered to bring free dessert to the kids for the inconvenience. Unfortunately they don't have any dessert that caters to kids. On a good note, the meatball appetizer, Caesar salad and shrimp and grits were all delicious. I would recommend the food and atmosphere but the service was really bad. read more

Real disappointment. We used to enjoy breakfast --especially Sunday brunch. service was very poor, menu is anemic and management DOD not seem in touch Sad--used to be a good experience before recent changes. no longer on our list of restaurants to enjoy. read more

What an amazing place overlooking the water! Hubby had the cheeseburger with potato fries and I had the BLT with turkey. The BLT was on a sour dough toasted bread. We like to split the sandwiches. We had the sangria full of blueberries , strawberries and blackberries. Very affordable! read more

When our dear friend was planning our visit to the Bluffton area she stated " I have to take you to Buffalos!" So on Saturday morning with glorious October weather we arrived at Buffalo's at 11 am. We arrived at 11:02 am late for breakfast but just in time for an incredible lunch. Two of us had the detox salad which was one (if not the absolute best) salads we have ever had. I added blackened chicken as my protein and it was perfection! Another in the group had a very filling chicken salad wrap that she opted to have with this amazing quinoa salad. Finally, the BLT made with toasted Brioche was exquisite. The mimosas were the perfect blend of OJ and champagne....The Bloody Mary was fabulous. Highly recommend taking the drive to this wonderful restaurant nestled amongst a beautifully serene setting. read more

I visit SC often and always search for new places to fall in love with. This place is great - way off the map and close to the water. You can't help but love this place. Situated on a private plantation, just a few yards from the water, it is very charming. A large outdoor patio with covered tables is an awesome way to enjoy your surroundings. I had a marvelous kale salad $14 one day & went back the next day to try the BLT $17 that my daughter had ordered. The $17 for the BLT made it a little less tasty, I can't possibly see how they justify that price - and I'm from Dallas where we see some crazy prices! The Bella Diva $13 wine was nice, but the dessert came up short on flavor, even though it looked great. Service could have been a little more attentive, but the servers were friendly. read more

I went for Sunday brunch. You can literally cut the prime rib with a fork. The butter knife provided is not even necessary. I usually balk at spending $100 for lunch, but if you are looking for a treat, this is well worth the money. read more

We dined at Buffalo's many times during our stay at the Montage. It was a perfect spot for our family since we are more "casual" folks. The breakfast bar is a great choice if you want to try a little bit of everything. My favorites were the grits, sticky buns & bacon. For dinner, I LOVED the fried chicken w/ collard greens and banana bread (more like French toast) w/ peach syrup. My husband had the pot roast and it was amazing too. The one & only little hitch: on the kid's breakfast menu it was written that the cereal came w/ fruit, but when they brought it out it had no fruit & the server said it did not come with fruit. Maybe if there was a few strawberries or bananas we would feel a little better about spending $7.00 for cereal & milk. read more

Had a delicious post-golf lunch here while staying at the Montage. I ordered the turkey BLT with a side of sweet pot fries which several people at the resort had raved about. It was certainly worth the enthusiasm! Super delicious and comforting. They have a great outdoor seating area and are pet friendly as well which is a plus since we had our pup with us. read more

Great for breakfast and lunch salads or burgers are good, but the current dinner menu leaves a lot to be desired! The chicken piccata was a small Cornish size roasted chicken leg quarter with bone in! The sauce was reddish brown and sweet that did not blend well with the capers. Thankfully the Caesar salad and pizza were good! read more

Carry out was great. Delicious pizza and yummy truffle fries. Dine-in was a disappointment. The halibut that was said to come with potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower arrived looking boiled and sloppy with a weird mix of carrots, potatoes, squash and sun chokes, all of which were still too hard and raw to eat. It was the end of the night and it appeared like the remnants of the day were dumped in the dish. By the way, sun chokes, especially raw, are not something to spring on someone. Google "fartichokes" if you want to know more. I said something to the server and he brought out a side of fresh, hot broccolini. Luckily, we had some delicious appetizers too because I couldn't eat most of the halibut meal. A little pricey for something inedible. The dine-in service was great, the food was not. read more
