The Thirsty Buffalo is known for its hamburgers with handmade patties and large chicken wings. This place definitely has a local vibe. Our waitress, Emily, definitely has pride in the establishment. They do many things to fundraise for the local Buffalo Youth Hockey. We ordered the Keggers to start. These are large tater tots stuffed with bacon and cheese,and served piping hot. Delicious! My husband ordered a Reuben sandwich. The sauerkraut is made local and the sandwich was scrumptious. I had their homemade chili topped with cheese, sour cream, chives, and a side of cornbread. It came with honey butter that had a hint of cinnamon and vanilla. The atmosphere is full of the local spirit. They were selling raffle tickets for meat, had pull tabs, and bingo. Look on their website and Facebook for what is happening. Skip the chains and enjoy this local spot with great food and attitude that can't be beat.

The Thirsty Buffalo is a great place to grab lunch, and likely any other meal as well. The burgers have been good each time as well as the soups. I tend to go to lunch early, so I can't really say how busy it gets, but there seems to be a decent amount of room. Drinks are always cold. Service is quick and attentive. Basic bar seating and decor. A nice place to try if you haven't been there.

Stopped in for a quick lunch after we wrapped up our Christmas shopping. Played Bargo & enjoyed heavy apps.The atmosphere was cheery, and our waitress was super attentive. We don't live in the area, but would definitely return next time we're in town!Dietary restrictions: Peanut allergy friendly

An unexpected stop after shopping; had delicious wild rice soup. Would definitely eat here again!
Sat down served water. Friendly waiter said it would be 40+ mins for food. Didn’t look that busy.

Most if the servers are fabulous, and the food is amazing. One of the cooks there is absolutely fabulous. He comes up with some great specials and his cooking is beyond average. Definitely recommend for a family dinner and drink.
