The service was not that bad we got our stuff pretty fast (we were the only ones in there) My salad only had 1 singular tomato in it no cheese barely any toppings and their croutons were unseasoned. I got my chicken and it was very dry and kinda hard, the mashed potatoes don’t even get me started were just straight instant mashed potatoes from a box. Lastly they didn’t even have to go boxes so I had to wrap my chicken in tin foil and couldn’t even take the mashed potatoes. Environment wise there was a ceiling fan that rattled the entire time and was very annoying.

My girlfriend and I made a special trip up because she had fond memories with her dad when she was a girl. I can honestly say it was the saddest dining experience I've ever had. For her sake I wanted it to be special and important. But when we came in we were the only people there besides the server and it felt like I wandered into a business on hospice care. Rather than making regular updates to menu and venue, the owner is clearly fixated on the glory days of yesteryear. Usually when this happens to a business they will either reinvent themselves to success or they will double down on their race towards the bottom. Cutting costs any way they can to lure in the value shoppers yielding lower profits on each desperately sought after customer.
Our salads were iceberg lettuce with basic dressing. Literally. Just lettuce. My girlfriend received two miniature chicken beasts served bare, and plain. No onions or peppers, nor cheese as described in menu. Just two petite plain beasts on a plate. When brought up her meal returned with what look like a whole can of mushrooms heat it up and put on top. An ingredient absent from the menu or discussion until arriving on the plate. Just plain chicken with canned mushrooms on top. My wings were weird and small with a side cup of Buffalo sauce. Ironically when I asked for buffalo wings she said she didn't have buffalo wings she had hot or mild or barbecue. I said mild and received said Buffalo sauce. It was mainly fatty chicken jerky. I felt so bad for our server in the entire situation that we finished our meal out of pity and left a 20% tip because frankly we were probably the only customer she had all day. I would have took more out of pity but the whole experience was so incredibly sad on so many different levels we ended up laughing and trying to hide our Snickers on the way out because of the irony of it all. If you go to this restaurant ironically just to see how bad it is it's absolutely worth it. In fact, I highly recommend it just for that purpose. But don't go there and actually eat the food or expect any kind of anything beyond seeing something sadly humorous.

We loved our dining experience at Buffal Jacks. We had the walleye on this occasion, but I've had the buffalo, the turtle soup and the Gator. Highly recommend!!!

Came to get buffalo burgers and alligator, was told they haven't had either one in quite awhile but just leave them on the menu.i ordered the most popular menu item, the all you can eat walleye. Thin very chewy pieces of walleye that no amount of tartar sauce can overcome. One visit in this lifetime was more than enough for me.

No game meat when we went in, no drinks other than soda, no steaks so ordered fried food and was very dry and hard. The biggest thing that got me was the black mold on the wall right beside our table. First time going and was extremely disappointed

The cook doesn’t show up. They run out of food. It would be a great place to start a restaurant

This was the worst steak I’ve ever had. Not sure what it was, but it was not prime rib (was it even beef?). Cold and swimming in a plate of cool grease. Absolutely disgusting. Locals there ordered bottled drinks and fried food only, they knew something we didn’t. I don’t think the beer tap lines had been cleaned in weeks. No local beers, only bud/busch. They were out of all game meat, tbone and ny strip (seriously?). Most reviews complained about them being out of game meat, I think they don’t even really sell it at all. Must be an elaborate scam. No curly fries. Wine glass was dirty with lipstick (we just drink directly from the bottle). Waiter advised against the steamed vegetables, according to her “it didn’t look very good”. I just hope we don’t get food poisoning tonight. Hands down the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. Amazing. What a memory.

Half the menu wasn't available. No chicken at all. No game meat. everything on the menu seems to be a la cart. no sides come with the entree. We used to love going there. probably won't again. 🥺
The walleye dinner was the worst we have ever had! It was way overcooked, hard, and chewy. The ranch dressing was not “ranch.”Unfortunately, we will never be back.

We had the worst walleye dinner we have ever had ANYWHERE! It was way overcooked, hard, and chewy! I asked the waitress if the cook was new, she said no, he’d been there awhile. You only get 8 or 9 little fried mushrooms for $7.99. Also, their ranch dressing was NOT ranch. Their coleslaw was good. We were excited to go and the place was definitely interesting. We will NEVER go back. It was that bad. Very sad.
Just a little different...in a good way!
