No actual buffalo at the Buffalo Bar, FYI. They took the Buffalo Burger off the menu, which was the only reason I used to go there. Other than that, in my recent visit (Mar'23) the food and service were fine, except the seating/hostess stand process was oddly overcomplicated and lengthy, even without a line.

Food was amazing. Definitely recommend. Not a lot of options but what they do have was delicious. Best Tofu burger and beef burgers we have ever tasted.

Food is even better than it’s used to be. Great burger and Philly. Funny waitresses. Kept their cool when it got busy on a Sunday afternoon with ski traffic heading down the mountain.

I love this place. Spectacular food, and the best bar service one could ever imagine. Love me some Scott. I did have a different bartender this time, and I forgot her name. But she obviously had a heart for Scott as well. I had the hamburger with the chili soup and it was amazing two margaritas and I was ready to go home and go straight to bed. I love the old taxidermy, buffalo heads, the frontier art work in the dining area and know that the bar is actually a part of history itself..well it’s like walking into the wild wild West. Super fun!

Great food and beer. If stuck on I-70 by Idaho Spring, this is a great stop to have a meal and wait for the traffic to lighten.

The name changed and is no longer The Buffalo. Their menu has changed as well and they don't serve bison, which was the entire reason we went there. Food was good, but nothing special. It did come out pretty fast, which was nice. Drinks were good. Cool building and atmosphere.

Good burgers and fries! Beware the mysterious ‘4% kitchen surcharge’ - ??? I will continue to write as 100 charachters are required by Trip Advisor.

The Democrats must have forced you to not show pictures of the stuffed buffalo in your restaurant. For that I say you suck. I thought the buffalo was your trademark. But you are ashamed to show this stupendous animal. Never again.

Whoever the owner is needs to give Paige a raise because she's one of the best servers ever. Gave us extra waters to go since she knew we had a long drive back to Buffalo,
