Restaurants in Buffalo

“I haven’t found an authentic Mexican restaurant in Minnesota until now. So glad we came during Independence weekend to have delicious Chiles en Nogada, traditional well prepared sopes and awesome shrimps. Dessert was no different: pineapple coconut ice cream as part of churros plate. In summary, amazing food!!!”

“I grew up going to BJs have loved so many dishes, sandwiches are always a home run. Even “job shadowed” when I was in highschool for a class. Stopped in today, grabbed the BJs lunch box special and it was amazing. So many fast food places offer “lunch combos” and this box was great for the price! I hope to see it comeback!!”

“This place is amazing! from sandwiches to soups, salads and desserts! She has made numerous GF desserts for me, Tres Leches, Mexican Hot Chocolate Cheesecake, and most recently an amazing GF Carrot Cake. Highly recommend.”

“A hidden gem! Excellent, authentic food and drinks. Fast, friendly service. Seemingly always busy yet never much a wait.”

“Very friendly staff and great food,I definitely recommend this place.”

“First time in Buffalo at this tasty mom & pop pizza. Delicious cauliflower and gluten free crust-the freshest ingredients, excellent service! The food was amazing! Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We will definitely stop here again.”

“This is a great stop just off the lake. They have amazing Bloody Mary's and the price is great for what you get. We never order food if we get the big Bloody Mary. Service is great and the outdoor deck is awesome on a nice day.”

“Food was amazing! Service was great. We will definitely go back!”

“Amazing place! Great food, great atmosphere, and great service, even down to the table bussers! Everyone there is always so nice & friendly! A+”

“Such an amazing atmosphere! Love everything about this place. 😍❤️”

“Had not been to this restaurant for awhile and were pleased with the overall experience. Liked the dining room environment and the friendly, attentive server. Food was good and the special for the evening was an excellent value.”

“UPDATE- went back to give them another chance as they had recently opened during my first visit- and it was fabulous!!! Great job, great to have my Jersey Mikes back!!!!- see updated photo

Don’t get me wrong, I love jersey Mikes, not sure if they just reduced their meat portions since opening this new location- but I didn’t spill a drop of meat out of my Philly it was that small, some areas in my sandwich had no meat at all, just bread - is this across the chain? I don’t think I’ll be retuning for more bread than meat sandwiches”

“Great service and clean restaurant, please stop and see them.”

“Great recommendations!!!”

“I wish we had gone sooner!!Having lived in Buffalo a few years now-we never knew what we were missing out on. THE BEST PIZZA in town 100% the BEST BOWL OF CHILI in town and the ONLY place to get a Mad Mexican Burger that melts in your mouth and tastes just as good when reheated if you have leftovers. Our family would definitely recommend!!”

“I love the ice cream there. except the vending machine at the St. Michael location. we have gone 5 times this passed year and 3/5 times it has eaten my money and not dispensed the ice cream. we put in the exact amount ($6.50) and it wouldn't dispense ANY ice cream. we went tonight, wouldn't grab any ice cream and would not give us back our $1.50. I wouldn't care if this was fixed but it's been an ongoing issue.”

“Delicious pizza as always, very timely and friendly service and clean store. Always plenty of parking here too! Love that they offer coupon codes on the instructions once you fill out a brief online survey. Lately it seems like they’ve been worth 25% off of any purchase of $25 or more, I believe. The “Gourmet Vegetarian” (with some customizations) is our favorite pizza here, by far!”

“Dietary restrictions: The owners are interested in what customers want. They would want to assist you to see what you would need. They are passionate and hard working and want the food to be tasty.”

“Muffy's is an excellent place to go for specialty cocktails with your friends, your date or even on your own! the atmosphere is relaxed but classy in that vintage type of way, and the staff are all awesome! 10/10 for sure 😘”

“The food is amazing.. my family loves this place. Hands down one of the best places for Mexican food.”

“This place has consistently given excellent service!”

“Huikko’s has some great food!! Some of our family favorites we’d recommend are the Pizza, chicken, walleye fingers, burgers, fries, cheese curds, and my fav appetizer was the deep fried pickles with ranch dip!!! All of these are absolutely delicious!! If I could change one thing, it would be the breadstick that comes with the salad, it leaves something to be wanted and and I would actually order the salad every time, if it came with a delicious bread stick. I do skip ordering the salad for that reason. Full disclosure, it’s my pickiness. The salad is quite good just to clarify! Many items we have yet to try-but we will be there next weekend and getting ribs at least 😊”

“The experience and service at the Caribou inside Coborns in Buffalo was great today I'm definitely going back.

Wheelchair accessibility: Nice and big easy to move around.”

“We go to get the wonton tacos 4:00 to 6:00. Love them. Get them without the coleslaw. My daughter does not like that. I eat the coleslaw she eats the wontons. What a great combo

We always take a batch home”

“Anytime I can visit an American Legion I will. Great service and food, even better people working and enjoying the establishment. With family living in town there we make sure tonstop and Thank those how have and are serving”

“There’s something of a paucity of fine dining options in Buffalo, but I remembered that my late father, Charles LeRoy Nelson, Jr, always raved about a restaurant at the Buffalo golf course. So I researched it, and I think he must have been referring to Hilltop Bar & Grill at Wild Marsh Golf Club. So we went there on Friday, May 3rd, 2024 for dinner. I’m happy to report that this restaurant has earned the highly coveted Eric Carlisle Nelson Esteemed Diner Recommendation. My key observations follow:

1. They do not accept reservations. However, we got a table right away when we arrived at 6:10pm on a Friday — albeit the last table available.

2. While it wasn’t what I would call quiet, the noise level was not bad at all. One could carry on a conversation without raising one’s voice.

3. Host and wait staff were excellent, friendly, and attentive.

4. All of our food was very good. Mee Lee had the beef tacos. I got a side salad and BLT with avocado. (See photos). Nothing was especially fancy, but everything was very fresh and well-made and delicious! The food was unpretentious.

5. The prices were amazingly low, given the high quality of the food, and well worth the price. We ended up with a final bill of only $30, plus tip.

6. The bill could have been higher, but we didn’t have any drinks, because they didn’t have whole milk (or any milk) as a beverage option. This is a demerit, but one that is easily remedied. Every restaurant should offer whole milk. Minnesota is a dairy state, and milk complements every meal!

7. I counted six different customers wearing baseball caps while dining. You don’t have to read Emily Post’s Guide to Etiquette to know that men may not wear hats indoors — and especially not while dining. One of them was a faux “Army” hat, which I thought particularly incongruous, given the fact that Army regulations strictly prohibit the wearing of any kind of hat or “cover” indoors. The restaurant would do well to post this as a rule at the front door. (I would, if it were my restaurant). Manners makyth man!

8. One diner barked loudly across the dining room for his waitress, twice. I looked over to see if he had had too many drinks. I’m not sure what his deal was, but he didn’t seem to realize that he was behaving like a Philistine. I can’t fault the restaurant for this, but it is worth noting.”

“There’s a blonde haired guy who works the drive through window that has been there the last 2 Wednesday mornings. He tells me to “have a magical day” and it makes me smile. I missed him this morning.”

“I started here about two years ago now everything is great and the people you work with are a fun bunch to get to know not only do I recommend eating here but if you are looking for great colleagues and great flexibility I highly recommend working here.”

“Best campfire mocha I’ve had in a while and the barista who greeted me at the window was delightful. I thought it was especially cute how she said “Hey, Kelly!”
Even tho we give our names for mobile orders no one has ever called me by name and I thought it was a nice touch.”

“Best dairy queen around! They almost always hook you up with an extra chicken strip and the food is always great! Never had a bad experience here. Bummed when they close for a few weeks but these guys work hard.”

“Love that this coffee option is in town! No dine in or walk up available and YES, the drive through is different BUT it works great. Friendly workers do a great job of making me delicious coffee. Their donuts are a fun treat, too!!!”

“Nostalgic staple of Buffalo. Good bourbon selection and great drinks. Friendly owners, knowledgable staff.”

“This was our first time going to Bamboo Village and we went there and ordered for take out. The pad Thai and orange chicken were delicious!!! The chicken had some crispiness to it and was the best orange chicken we’ve had. Will definitely be going back!”
