READ THIS. LONG BUT NECESSARY 4 newly seniors stopped in about 6:00 on a Saturday night. We had not seen each other for a couple years and we had lots to catch up on. We were seated right away. A server came over for our drink order ( I don’t think she was in a great mood that night) and when she came back, she wanted to take our food order. We said we were sorry we hadn’t even looked at the menu. She walked away grumpy. We blew it off. She came a second time for our order and we still needed some time. My husband teased her and said” we promise when you come back in 5 minutes, we’ll be ready”. She rudely replied” well it won’t be 5 minutes” and walked away even more grumpy. She came back again shortly after and we ordered our food. Her demeanor was that of a mean school marm. After a bit, one of our friends was wanting a second beer. She watched for our server but she didn’t come around. So our friend asked another server or two and a bus person if she could get a beer and asked for me a Chardonnay. Our server comes up to me and says “you don’t know that I’m your server and you ask someone else for a Chardonnay?” I was puzzled at her attacking me for reaching out to another server( my friend did that) and her SCOLDING ME! So we didn’t get our drinks. My friend’s husband goes up to the bar to order and get the drinks and told the bartender ( maybe the manager?) about our treatment. Our food came and it was good but our dinner was ruined because of our treatment. I don’t think this establishment knows the part about treating the customer with a smile and without getting grumpy. While still eating the bartender comes over and says, “ we need this table, so we going to need you to finish up and leave!!” What! I think the bartender and the server must have a thing going on or something? No one apologized for her bad attitude not her not bringing 2 drinks. Since we hadn’t gotten our drinks and had to order get them ourselves, I had over a 1/2 glass of Chardonnay left and asked for a box as my appetite was ruined by this whole scene. The bartender came over again and says” I need this table. I will call the police if you don’t leave!” Remember, we are all newly 65 years of age, semi retired, had only had 1- almost two adult beverages and we were being kicked out. I think partially because our friends were buying and they chose not to tip ( we always tip generously even if the service was not good but we weren’t paying that night. If it hadn’t blown up so badly, I know my husband would have discreetly given the server a nice tip. But since we were literally kicked out of this place ( which if it wasn’t so aggravating is funny and could be a SNL skit) we didn’t get to. also I had an almost full glass of wine so I asked for a to go glass. ( I have seen people on the street with beverages). Bartender wouldn’t give me one so I lost it! I poured the glass of wine on the bar and we walked out. We have in our many years of dining out, had some severs that aren’t friendly, kind etc. I try to think that they are having a bad day. Usually we joke with them and kill them with kindness as we know it’s a tough job. They usually lighten up. But this scenario got out of hand. We were dealing with ANGRY SERVER AND THEN BARTENDER. There were plenty of tables and no people waiting so the bartender was not being truthful. I have the owners names and will be contacting them. I find it sad that they treated us so poorly and expected us not to get upset. We should have left after the rude treatment before ordering. Obviously not good business practices. Hopefully Snotty server improves her attitude and understand as in any job that serves the public in any way, that treating people with respect is key. I hope you have a better experience. Oh I forgot! Our friend is a deputy in SD and had his badge etc with him.

We sat down to eat and the server was very friendly but it took us a while to get drinks to our table. Food came out pretty quickly after we ordered, but tasted very average. Our burgers were dry and bland

I was very disappointed. My wife and I used to go here fairly often for the steak tips but haven't been in a while. We decided to go today and were surprised by a new menu and substantially higher prices. I probably wouldn't have minded the higher price, but apparently, the recipe for the steak tips has changed as well. Instead of the delicious, melt in your mouth tips that we used to get, we got ones that were ok but nothing to write home about.
Parking: Behind the restaurant is a 4 or 5 level parking garage with self-serve kiosks. The minimum cost is $10, but that gets you 24 hours of parking.

Great food great atmosphere. Onion rings are to die for. Loved the cowboy burger
The Buffalo Bodega Complex has a lot of potential, but there are definitely areas for improvement. The food was just okay—not bad, but nothing that really stood out. The same goes for the overall experience; it was fine, but there's room to elevate it.
On the positive side, the structure, history, and decoration of the place are impressive. The atmosphere feels authentic, with a strong sense of the location's past, which adds a unique charm to the visit. However, the service could definitely be better. With some improvements in this area, the Buffalo Bodega Complex could become a much more memorable dining experience.
Ordered a steak medium came out medium rare then they microwaved it and it became inedible. Told waitress and they still charged me for it. Also they charge you extra if you use a credit card.

I only gave 1 star for food because I didn't have food. Rhys served me and was very kind and had a safe nature presence. Atmosphere seemed like a non-judgmental, and aware of surroundings.
