    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.

    Great friendly local bar. They have great drink specials. The Gouda cheese curds are terrific…read more Will be back for sure.

    Nope! The fact that just after eating this, my stomach doesn't feel right. Let's me know that food…read morepoisoning is on its way. Customer service none existed. The food is not good.I got a beef brisket with no bun, with very little brisket.So that makes me think that the actual sandwich is very lackluster, based on the amount of meat for the price felt like a rip off. I got the regular brisket and not the fatty, but you would have thought they gave me the fatty one. Because half of the brisket was unedible. The brisket was very greasy And there was absolutely no smoky flavor to it. Only thing that help it was the chicago Fire BBQ sauce, which was okay. The honey cornbread was raw. It was not cooked all the way it was like biting it into a undone cake, had to immediately spit it out. The baked beans were okay at best.Tasted something like straight out of a can nothing special. Being from Kansas City, I know my BBQ, and this aint it? Now I gotta go home and take some tums.
