    Stuffed Jalapeños and a fine piece of Ribeye
    Robert R.

    As someone who travels often it is always great to find a place that is unique but also that has great food. And this honestly is one of the top five ribeyes I've ever had in my life. Great little dive great food great service. #lowcountrycajun

    Love getting a beautifully char-grilled steak & a loaded baked potato from here, while having some drinks. :)

    I've met the owner personally, who recommended that I come out & check out the scene (especially on Sunday's since there's great food being prepared on this day which has great drink & food specials). Keep up the great customer service & quality food you guys prepare fantastically! :D

    In love!!!

    Love this Midland Dive! Don't let the looks turn you away. Looks like a rustic Texas Bar. I am ready for summers on their patio. Good drink prices!

    A Bar that serves the Best bloody Mary from the gulf coast to Kansas City to Albuquerque. Not a bad steak on Sunday either.

    I have visited Buffalo Nickel a few times while visiting Midland for work and enjoyed my visit…read moreevery time. It has a nice easy-going, small-town Texas feel to it which is hard to describe unless you've lived in a town like this like I have. The inside is typically nice and chill; an ideal environment to grab a cocktail or two and conversate with a date, coworker, group of friends, whatever. Out of all the bars I have been to in Midland, I think Buffalo Nickel has the best selection of whiskey especially. I am not a huge whiskey aficionado but I have heard from ones that this is the place to go. I am more of a tequila and beer guy and they have everything I want. The unique thing about this bar is that the back patio is smoke-friendly. I am guilty of wanting some nicotine after some drinks so this is a great place for me. They also sell cigars if that is your thing. Cheers!

    Wonderful rustic, easy going, relaxed bar to grab an amazing cocktail or two. First and foremost,…read moreit is not a cigar bar, it is a bar that sells cigars! They have a nice selection to grab a couple to smoke on the back patio or to take with you for later. Hubby really enjoy the Crazy Alice, said it was one of the best cigars he's ever had! We sat at the bar and our bartender was very sweet and attentive. Explained the cocktails a bit for us and gave suggestions. The Pumpkin Spiced White Russian caught my eye online so I went with that and hubby had an Old Fashioned. Drinks were spot on so when the bartender said they had a great Espresso Martini I said but of course! It was absolutely delicious!! We highly recommend Buffalo Nickel for a small gathering or date night cocktails.

So we opted to have it delivered with a food service app. For the appetizer we did the pick 3: Armadillo eggs (jalapeños willed with cream cheese and cheddar wrapped in bacon) boudin balls (sausage and rice balls deep fried) and jalapeno perogis. The Armadillo eggs had quite the kick. The boudon balls were very good. We loved the jalapeno perogis and would possibly just order that for our appetizer if there's a next time. Also side note: we got 3 Armadillo. 3 perogi, and only 2 boudin balls. For mains we had the Philly cheesesteak and Club sandwich both served with fries. They were good and we enjoyed them but nothing special about them that we couldn't find elsewhere. For dessert we had the coconut cheesecake empanada and it was very good especially with the sauce they give with it. This was something special and different. Worth the splurge. The food total prior to our delivery food service fees came to $57.41

    If you're looking for authentic tacos, taco di vino has a little different spin on their cuisine…read more The tacos are really pricey for what you get as the finished product in opinion meat portions are good but, the tacos are excessively packed with toppings that are either too bland or too sweet. I ordered 3 different types of tacos and a side which I did not believe were worth the price of the food. 1).The flank taco was salty and not a flavor packed salty. 2). The coconut shrimp taco was good as is with just shrimp and a little bit of cabbage pineapple on the taco bad it excessively sweet and cabbage filled the taco more than shrimp. 3).The pastor taco was also really sweet but I would say has to be one of there best in my opinion. And finally the side 1). The corn was loaded with cheese and mayonnaise and butter but corn was not sweet at all. All dining aside the service was excellent, server was polite and informative. The dining experience was not bad I just felt like the inside of the restaurant smelled a little rancid but the dining experience outside was nice and gave off a really fresh and cozy aesthetic. Overall I believe there could be better improvements on pricing, flavor, meat to toppings ratio, smell, and inside compact dining.

I am very happy that I found Saint Blaise as they hit all three of my marks for restaurants that I take customers to. Food: The food was great. I wanted to get the steak and potatoes but it was $50+ which I thought was a bit steep for just steak and potatoes. I opted for the blackened salmon which was cooked perfectly with delicious broccoli and mashed potatoes on the side that were also cooked perfectly. The gnocchi had a perfect consistency with a non-overwhelming sauce so also phenomenally done. The two drinks I got: Same Place and Maple Manhattan were well-made with each component complementing each other well and not overpowering one another. If you like tequila and manhattans I think you will be happy. Service: The servers were very attentive and made sure we were taken care of the entire visit especially with the waters. Huge kudos! Ambiance: I will say because the inside space is a bit tight and small, having conversation when the restaurant was busy proved a bit difficult but if that is the case they do have seating right outside in the lobby area and having conversations there should not be an issue. I will make sure to be back with customers here!
