History of "The Buff"
"Over the last 15 years, Montana has seen tens of thousands of new residents.  While the state has changed, some things like the Buffalo Cafe in Whitefish have remained institutions.  Places you can always count on, not just to order something off the menu you had 20 years ago, but maybe to see a familiar face, to sit at a table where you sat with the girlfriend who became your wife. Or quite simply, to be able to count on a meal that as good today as it was 20 years ago-Dave Reese, Montana Traveler, 2006

We have eaten in the Buffalo Cafe for breakfast every chance we get when we visit. Breakfast are amazing on all levels; cheap, large, and absolutely delicious. If you've never been, make it a "must stop" when in town and you will not be ...ý

Best breakfast ever!
 By A TripAdvisor Member - Aug 15, 2009
The Buffalo Cafe was recommended to us in a travel guide on our trip to Montana last month. And I'm so glad it was. I think the name of my breakfast selection was the "Kansas City Pie." And there was enough on my plate for two or three ...ý

Worth coming down the 5hrs
By Andrew P - May 23, 2010
So after arriving in whitefish and finding a hotel to spend the next three nights, me and my girlfriend had the task of trying to find a place for dinner. After driving 5hrs from Calgary you could say we were both kind of tired and weren't ...ý

Best Breakfast in Whitefish!!!
 By A TripAdvisor Member - Jul 19, 2005
The best breakfast in Whitefish. Our family stumbled in to this awesome cafe last year on our vacation, and made it a must to return this summer (twice!). This is where the locals eat. The omelets are the best. The coffee is good and strong, ...ý

It's true, I was eating huckleberry-buckwheat pancakes at the Buff at five years old- before pandering off to ski school on the bunny slope. The Buffalo cafe has been around longer than any other breakfast joint downtown for a reason. ...ý

Delicious food for a great price
Trip Advisor July 1, 2010
After a couple of disappointing and more highly recommended and manicured places in town, we've decided to try the Buffalo Cafe. If you like burgers and great soups and salad, you will not be disappointed. Great wine selection. You will not regret dining here!
