They also had board games and 2 arcade style game machines in the back! Their draft beer options are super expansive! I was here on a Tuesday and it was packed!! Only issue was because of this being a popular spot, the service was very slow so keep that in mind if you are in a rush to be somewhere after. Otherwise, I loved the vibe in here and there were a ton of 4 person high top tables you could seat yourself at that offered great views of the tvs. There were also a few larger tables for big groups, as well as ample bar seating.

They had a very cool interior, with tap handles lining their walls and all sorts of neat antique items. Their seating options were limited but the table we sat at was very cool because of how it was made and had comics and such incorporated into the top of the tables. They sell beer from breweries but don't make their own, which was fine as they had some food craft beers on tap. Inside the lights were very dim but it added to the whole mood of the pub. The bartender was quiet but proficient at his job. A neat little place to stop and have a drink.

I ate here twice while in town. I would say what brought me in was the beer selection. But I…read morefound the menu had a pretty good selection and of the 4 BPTs I had on my trip the one from here was the best. Probably the biggest negative for the place is the price of most entrees. I wanted a poke bowl but it was priced like a steak so I passed on it. I did appreciate all of the beers I ordered and liked that they offered smaller pours son could try more. I would come back if in town.

Cool place with an impressive bar and friendly service…read more The Hereford beef burger was good... different from Angus beef. Not necessarily better or worse... just different. A little "heartier" if that makes sense. I washed it down with a tasty Bock, one of the darker/maltier sections of their wide array of beer options. One minor gripe: our party's fries came out a bit on the dark side - nearly burnt. Perhaps the fryer oil was too hot? To be fair, we didn't complain; if we did, I am 100% certain our server would have rectified the issue. All in all, a good place to eat and drink. (I wish I would have had more time to spend beer-drinking here).

Our friends got the fish & chips and they loved it. The batter looked very crispy and our fries were on point. Megan served us and she was very friendly and attentive. They've made upgrades to their menu and I think that their food options are getting better each time we return. We've also tried their Som Burger which is tasty and their Birria Tacos -- good but could use a little more seasoning. Overall, we love The Som and highly recommend them!

I will share a story about how special this place really is when I was pregnant with my son I ate here all the time because I just loved it and all the staff would always ask how my pregnancy was and genuinely cared my son and I continued to always come here my son was an extremely picky eater and they would always go out of there way to prepare him something the way he would eat it down to cooking a hot dog in the microwave for 6seconds exactly to making different spaghetti sauce just the way he liked it. This place in my book will never be topped!!!

Upon entering, it is a dimly lit bar with booths and tables around the outside with a very laid back, dive bar feel. We were seated right away in a large booth. The staff was very friendly and share waitress/bartender/hostess duties amongst them so there is always someone willing to help. I had a hamburger pony with no bread and chili. This is a delicious burger patty served with lattice fries on top of it and then smothered in chili and cheese. Think chili cheese fries on top of your burger! It was as good as it sounds. My children had nachos and chicken tenders. They enjoyed them, but regretted not getting cheese burgers. Overall, it was good with my only complaints being that my burger was a little overdone and they don't have coke products.

Thin crust pizza was the standout, crispy with cheese stretching as you pull out the slices. Tried the Cuban, three cheese and the chicken salad paninis. My husband enjoyed the flavor of the chicken salad with grapes in it the most. Only dud was the sloppy joe which didn't have enough flavor/sauce. Would recommend as a lunch stop if you are passing through!

Review Visit: August 8th, 2016…read more Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo. I like to say that bar food is the best food, so when I am out and about exploring, I try to find pubs that have good reviews to eat at. With that train of thought in mind, The Buffalo came up on my radar one day after exploring Iowa. Having an empty belly that kept reminding me to get some food, I headed over to The Buffalo to see what they offered. Upon entering, I was greeted with the usual dim-lit bar scene. Nothing was too bright but nothing was too dark. It was the right mix of each. As for the bar itself, it was your typical bar with the usual decor that you see in most bars. What was unique about this place was the massive amount of writing on the ceiling. It seemed almost every ceiling tile had something scrawled on it. There may be a story to it, but it's not found on this out-of-towner. I ordered the The Western Bacon BBQ Burger with fries. I remember being disappointed in the small size of the burger but rather enjoying the taste of it and the fries. The small size of the burger was made up by the fries and I left with a mostly full belly and a smile on my face. Within reason, I am okay with smaller sizes if the flavor/quality blows me away. At some point during my visit, I noticed they sold those gimmicky pull tab lotto tickets. Being the sucker for a cheap thrill, I bought 2 for $1 or something like that. I won something like $0.50 and bought another pull tab.. which was a non-winner. Between the unique ceiling, tasty food, usual bar environment, and friendly customer service, I would have to say you won't be buffaloed by visiting this tavern.
