Meh. I’ve eaten buffalo many times & enjoyed it, but this burger was very gamey. There was so much pink sauce on it, I had to scrape most of it off. The French fries were crispy & good, the salad was nice, but the lemon vinaigrette was very sour w no offsetting flavors. Service was good. Probably won’t go back.

Bathrooms are clean and tidy. Basic menu, with some great appetizers. A bit spendy, but not too over the top.

The food was pretentious, which made it not taste that great. The hamburger was good but $30. They’re not transparent about their pricing and do not offer receipts. They charge a 4% kitchen fee and default to a 22% tip. I’ve been going here my entire life and sadly do not think I will ever return some things. Should just stay the way they are. Poor waitress seemed to be untrained and the lady behind the bar did not seem very friendly. They We’re not willing to make things right when they had the wrong pricing. if you’re going to charge someone seven dollars for chili cheese fries on top of $22 for a burger and add 4% and expect additional for a tip. You’ll probably have more customers unhappy like myself.

Outrageous prices. Do not provide a receipt even after I asked for one. I shouldn’t have to ask twice. Default tip is set to above 20% which is the standard—I refuse to be conned into paying 25% for subpar service plus a kitchen fee for a bland meal. Burgers were way overdone. 1 pound of wings is apparently 6 bland wings. Fries were good and about the only nice thing I’ll say about this place.

The Buffalo has changed its name to Westbound & Down. This is a great place to grab a burger and beer. Don’t forget the green chili fries-unique and great flavor. Laid back atmosphere is desired after a day hiking.

This place is a work of art!! Food is locally sourced (and you can taste the difference). Flavor profiles were excellent. We LOVED the bison burger, tofu katsu, and most importantly the side salad!! With lemon vinaigrette. Portions are big and food is very well priced!

Food is great. Waitress seemed as though as smiling and general friendliness would cause her to go into anaphylactic shock. And extra 4% fee for kitchen service on top of a $22 burger? Odd vibes tbh. . .
