Buffalo Bar

Downstairs from the Osage Restaurant is the Buffalo Bar, a great alternative to the restaurant if you do not have the required reservation at the Osage. The establishment is only open between the hours of 4 pm and 9 pm, however, tables are abundant inside and on the huge patio. On clear evenings chances are good that you will be seated quickly. On our visit, the hostess showed us to our table within a minute of arriving. Before long our server Makayla welcomed us and enquired if we knew what we wanted to drink. The punctual service continued without our meal which began with delicious complimentary mini loaves of fresh bread and rosemary honey butter. Such a fantastic way to start a meal. This unique rustic, western-themed bar is just as much a restaurant as it is a bar; in fact, it features the same menu as the restaurant above it. If you looking for a cheap meal, you won't find it here, however, you will get a meal and an atmosphere that would put a smile on the late President "Teddy" Roosevelt's face. Yes, your wallet may groan a bit when you pay for this five-star meal but your tastebuds screaming for joy will drown it out. To keep the billfold moans down, I decided to skip the very tempting beef options and go for the bone-in pork chop. Because the sides were $12 a piece, I opted for just one: the roasted corn. My girlfriend got the roasted chicken and did not notice that the sides were not included, so she ordered the sweet potato mash and the crispy Brussels sprouts. Everything was amazing and full of flavor!! The pork chop was cooked as I ordered it, keeping its moisture and tenderness. It was easy to cut with a butter knife. Her roasted chicken was the same, just as sweet and juicy, not under or overcooked. The sides hit the spot as well. Even the pickled pears they garnished my plate with went well with the pork chop and the divine chocked cherry dipping sauce. Thank you Makayla for doing an excellent job keeping us happy and kudos to the chef for the meal that I will always try to achieve from my own grill.

We loved our visit to the Buffalo bar this past fall. We didn't have reservations to the Osage restaurant but we were pleasantly surprised that they had this restaurant as an alternative. The food was delicious. Expensive but worth it. I asked if we could sit outside to enjoy the sunset celebration. The views are beautiful. We loved the bread they brought out with the truffle butter. The spinach dip was a must. My mom had the braised beef short rib and the meat was perfect. My daughter and I both ordered 28 day center filet and it was mouthwatering. You know my girl loves her steak and this is up there. We added the bearnaise. The sides were just as delicious as everything else.

This is a beautiful facility and impressive to see. I recommend visiting but would limit the trip to golf or drinks and simple dish.Food was like a catered wedding. Warmed over and reheated. I ordered the filet and it was overcooked. Worse it was dry. The first round of mashed potatoes arrived cold. Strangely none of this triggered a visit from manager so server failed to recognize it was warranted. I wouldn't choose to eat here again.Over and over we were told Osage and Buffalo Bar is same kitchen same menu. Reading thru reviews I believe this to be true. Caution is warranted regardless of dining room choice.Friendly hostess staff, drivers and physical building saved this review from total destruction.

We had a great time visiting the Buffalo Bar at the top of the Rock. Our bartender was such a great host and shared so much history with us about Big Cedar Lodge. The bar is so special and perfect to make us feel that we were invited to a perfect getaway, and were true guests. The scenery is wonderful and full of historical artifacts. The drinks were great and plenty to choose from. This was a great experience.

Here Today! Buffalo Bar is located inside Lost Canyon Cave & Nature Trail, Top of the Rock, Ridgedale, MO. We took golf carts to view the beauty of the Canyon and beautiful it was.After our excursion, we had the opportunity to have our lunch catered at Buffo Bar, beautiful restaurant just the most breath taking view of the canyon.The cook prepare, chargrilled chicken beast, honey crusted salmon (I think that's what our server said), garlic mashed potato's, salad w/house dressing, candid brussel sprouts and homemade variety cookies. It was my PASSENGERS complaint of the overly seasoned lemon/lime pepper chicken breast and how overcooked it was..extremely dry it was. For desert I choose the chocolate chip cookies which was scrumptious and oatmeal raisin cookies....yes yes yes my cavities screamed. MY only complaint was the fact our sever used his bare hands to pickup our cookies then placed them on the napkin. COVID COVID sir! Service was OUTSTANDING tho! The need the recipe for the mashed potatoes, something different was added to grab my taste buds attention.Do I recommend this restaurant? That's a YES! Would I return? YES!As a woman, it would also be beautiful place to get engaged.Here Today. There tomorrow!

Amazing view and ambiance! Good food and plenty of it! Steak was a bit overcooked but they made it right and re-cooked for excellence. Roasted Brussel sprouts, lobster, mashed sweet potato, artichoke and pork belly appetizers were great as well.

10/10!! Absolutely incredible meal. Atmosphere, service and food was all amazing. Definitely an upscale restaurant with higher priced menu items/drinks but WORTH IT! Sunset Ceremony was awesome with music and a cannon send off. A whole experience in one! Brandon was an awesome server too.

Very nice place to watch sunset. Our server Kory was the bartender, but waited on us because we just wanted some appetizers and kids meals. She was absolutely wonderful. Only minus is that they serve the exact same food as the sit down fine dining experience. They really should consider making this a lighter menu with more casual options, especially for people who want to enjoy this with their kids.

Do not come here. The service is very bad. The is meh. Save yourself time and energy and choose something else.
