The service was great. Our waitress smiled and was friendly. The Food was freshly prepared and of good quality. I would recommend the pork shoulder bacon with breakfast. My coffee cup was filled every time before it was empty. The staff thanked us for our business as we departed the café. I will definitely return.

Ate both breakfast and lunch at the Buffalo Cafe. Lunch was very good and the breakfast was outstanding. Without a doubt, I would visit here again on my next trip into Whitefish.

This is a casual cafe that features extremely friendly service, inviting casual atmosphere, and good food priced very reasonably. For dinner the wild salmon was cooked just right and came with delicious fries and nicely cooked carrots. The salads are big and we had the steak salad...steak was cooked perfectly. This place should not be missed.

Breakfast at the Buff is a must when you are in Whitefish. Lunch and dinner are also great choices. Don't be afraid of a line, it moves fast and gives you a chance to chat with the other people waiting. They always have terrific specials - check out the chalk boards.

My family stayed in Whitefish for one week and we had intended on visiting several restaurants. As our time ran out, we chose to skip the other restaurants on our list and return to the Buffalo Cafe. My kids (6 and 8) insisted we go back so they could order the Hungarian Mushroom Soup and the Pork Chili Verde to... More

in Whitefish, Montana. Great breakfasts. McCabe's special is my favorite. Blueberry pancakes (huckleberry in the summer), eggs, bacon. Everyone should visit the Buff if you are in Whitefish

We stopped into Buffalo Cafe after reading its reviews and we FELL IN LOVE! The atmosphere is cozy and warm which was nice before hitting the slopes on Big Mountain. Awesome home style food, great specials. The french toast and breakfast sandwiches were our favorite and the portions are really big! We ate breakfast here every morning of our trip... More
