Excellent for what it is - a family restaurant. Has an old-fashioned soda fountain; lots of ice cream choices. We went twice; once for dinner and once for breakfast. For dinner, good variety of food that was too much for we middle-aged people to eat - but we still shared an excellent turtle sundae. For breakfast - we made special requests and they were met - 4 pages of breakfast items! Service was excellent; answered all our questions and came back every 20 minutes to check on us. Reasonably priced.

I have been coming to the Buffalo since I was a kid and hate to see it so empty as today. I know it's a week night but I didn't expect to be the only ones there at 6:45p. Anyway, my meal was delicious and honestly the fruit was outstanding considering it's January. Service was kind and attentive. I know I will be back I just hope patronage picks up because these kind of places are getting too far and few between. Who doesn't love a good breakfast for dinner!

Ever since I was little I have wanted to come here for ice cream. I was in middle school when my dad and I first drove past this on our way to a school field trip to the Berto Center. He said no that day when I asked, and ever since then when I've driven past it I've thought to myself "I'm going in there one of these days". Well the other day I drove past it again and I finally made the plans to do it. I looked at the reviews a little disheartened that it was 2/5 stars. I didn't experience 2/5 service, I experienced 5/5 service. It was cute in there, paintings of buffalos on the walls. Felt nostalgic. The waitress was patient, kind, and made great recommendations. My friends ordered food, and I waited to just eat ice cream. I did have a few bites of food, one friend had gotten a salad with a some sort of sweet dressing, and chicken salad in it. I don't remember what it was called, but I wouldn't order it myself. The cheese curds I tried though were great! On to the best part - the ice cream. We ordered one to share and it came with like 5 scoops, toppings, and whip cream. It was great, and not inflated in price. I think it was around $12 for that monster bowl of ice cream. The food is OK but i'd recommend coming here for the ice cream!

I came here about 20 years ago and remembered it being great. I don't know what happened but the hostess rolled her eyes at us as she walked us to our table like us coming was an inconvenience lol. The interior looks like it did 20 years ago and that's not a compliment. Ice cream was good I'm glad we did get food... looks like you wound be better off at Denny's or Golden Corral. I also saw them take the bread basket and put it back for a next guest instead of tossing it. Hmm maybe make better food and you won't find yourself wanting to cut cost so bad that you save the bread . Service was ultimately good, the young woman who helped us was nice.

The malts look like this now! I thought if it was because of COVID I felt bad ... the resturant didn't have butter she said they ran out I ordered toast as a side! The malts were huge before thick and delicious ! I. I couldn't taste the malt ! Other customers were unhappy also but I won't tell their story ! This was my favorite as a child and even a two years ago Don't cut standards Make it good again

I ordered the Southwest burger on the menu. Said it was a half a pound. It wasn't even a 1/3 of a pound when I got itI was charged $19.99 for the burger then charged for open food for $1.50 when I ask what open food was they stated it was the basket full of day-old bread sticks four of them and crackers.Then I was charged a 4% credit card fee, even though I paid cash.The total bill was $24.36 for one burger & day-old bread sticks and crackers.Way over priced for lousy food.if you advertise a half pound burger, that's what you should get Not a burger that's the size of one big Mac patty .I highly recommend you don't waste your time, nor money, and go to your local soup kitchen for better food.If I was homeless and starving, I would never go back to this place.

I can't add very much to what's already been said about this horrible restaurant. We stopped in last nite for a quick dinner. Meatloaf dinner $25? Turkey & mashed potatoes $25?? This is a diner/coffee shop for chrissake. We should have left when we saw the menu prices but chose to stay. MISTAKE. I ordered the hot turkey sandwich ($19) This was easily one of the worst restaurant meals I've ever been served in by life. Tepid matzo ball soup (what the microwave is broken?) Turkey sandwich sandwich covered in the most horrific excuse for gravy I have only seen one other time in my life. The "gravy" was nothing more than undercooked chicken broth and flour, It tasted of raw flour and had congealed and formed a shiny skin by the time it had made the trip from kitchen to table. My advice: STAY AWAY

I meet here once a month with a group I belong to. They always give us the private room and are very accommodating with separate checks no matter how large the party. The food and service is always stellar. Portions are large so there are plenty of leftovers to take home.

I used to love this place years ago. Prices are outrageous service and food poor. Go to grandma's in wheeling
