I went to the Buffalo Café with a few family members and we had a great time. We arrived on a weekday just around 11 AM and the place was already packed. We got the only booth that was open, thankfully. The atmosphere seemed very upbeat with people just having a good time chowing down. My wife got the Buffalo Chip which consists of fried potatoes, bacon, cheese, green chilies, tomatoes, green onions, and a couple eggs on top, fried of course. It was amazing. There’s plenty of cheese all throughout the dish. I had the chicken fried steak and eggs. I did not realize that it came with a biscuit or fried potatoes so when they told me that it came with a biscuit, I asked if they could put gravy on it. I unknowingly just ordered another entrée seemed, because when they came out with my chicken fried steak and eggs, they also came out with another platter that had just the biscuit and gravy on it. It was all very good. The chicken fried steak was authentic as it gets, definitely not frozen. If it is, I would be very surprised. The gravy was delicious, but could be a little warmer. My wife had a biscuit with homemade raspberry jam, which was absolutely delicious. My little man enjoyed a meal of fried potatoes, scrambled eggs with ham, and sourdough toast. He had a great time. Our waitress was excellent, very nice and attentive for the place being so full. We really enjoyed the Buffalo Café. I recommend the Buffalo Café.

For some excellent local eats and a great atmosphere Buffalo Cafe is a must for anyone local or traveling through. The usual for me is the Buffalo Chips which will hit the spot any day. But on the weekends you can't miss some of the specials. Today was the smoked pork chop. Moist, packed with flavor in top of perfectly cooked potatoes and some eggs. And you can't forget the Blueberry Bran Muffin, add a little bit of butter and a cup of coffee. It's a paradise for sure. The kids love the hot chocolate piled high with whipped cream and the old western themed coloring pages. And the best part, you get to fill all the bellys in your family, without emptying your wallet. So don't over think it, go to Buffalo Cafe for breakfast, or swing in before they close at 2pm for a Pioneer Birger and fries. They won't disappoint. Just get there about 830 am to beat the crowd. And if you don't beat the crowd, it's worth the short wait!

This is the best little kept secret of Twin Falls. You don't see a lot of advertising, but this is the best food, service and prices! We've always had good service with anyone we get, but Amanda is our favorite! She truly is attentive, knows exactly what we order everytime and is a sweet heart! We feel lucky when she serves us! If you haven't tried it, you should!

We had a great breakfast here! The café was very busy, so we sat at the counter—but it actually added to the charm. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. Compared to other diners, the prices were very reasonable. The homemade jam was especially tasty!

Husband loves chicken fried steak. He gets it just about every place we visit. He says buffalo cafe has hands down the best he has ever had. It's perfect every time. Plate licking worthy!

The best breakfast we’ve had in a long time! The price was awesome, the food was awesome, and the atmosphere was rustic…it made me feel like a kid again eating at the auction house! You won’t be wrong eating here, I’d love to come back and try more than breakfast! My guess is all of the food will be just as amazing as the breakfast was!

Great small town diner. The food was great! Best blueberry pancake I've had in quite a while. Also recommended the "Eggs Hunter Style". Good coffee, great service! If you're looking for a filling and well cooked breakfast/brunch, this is the place. The sign above the diner has a different name of Buffalo Yard. You're in the right place. The front of the diner says, "Buffalo Cafe."
