    The restaurant was excellent. It has a nice casual vibe. The service was outstanding. Our server, Leroy, was attentive amd made good recommendations. We had the spinach and artichoke dip for an appetizer. It was superb- some of the best we've ever had. I had an Asian noodle salad with chicken. The salad was completely unique, with the dressing really giving it that WOW factor. I could eat that salad every week. My husband had the ribs. They were phenomenal. I'd love to order them myself, but I'm not sure I could pass up the salad. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants high quality food and does not want to have to dress up to get it. It is an absolutely beautiful spot to have a casual dinner with outstanding food. Try it. You won't be disappointed.

    Buffalos used to be really good. Sadly, it has really gone down hill. The standards for service and food are very low. With a steady stream of hotel guests it really doesn’t seem to matter. Unfortunate.

    Buffalos is not only a restaurant that is pleasing on the eye…set in a perfect southern setting…but it also offers an incredibly delicious menu that Clint served with a welcoming and knowledgeable flair. The chef even came out to see what we were raving about! Thank you for making our evening so special. Looking forward to bringing our family back when visiting the area this spring!

    We had another fabulous, fun night with friends at Buffalos. Delicious burgers and Shrimp Louie Salad. Don't hesitate to bring yourself, friends and family to the now nearly famous spot on the river. You will be glad you came.

    We have dined at Buffalo's several times. While the service was very nice, the food was not as good as previous our visits. Our friend did have the French dip with fries and said it that was quite tasty.
