Reviews For Buffalo Pub and Grill

Awesome spot for dinner! We were a group of 17 BMW motorcycle riders and stopped here for dinner while passing through San Luis Obispo. Great location right on the main street, with a warm and cozy vibe. The staff were super friendly and professional, and the food was tasty - everyone enjoyed their meal. We had such a fun and relaxed time together. Definitely recommend this place if you’re in town!

Was visiting family and they took me here for dinner. It was absolutely delicious and the drinks were phenomenal! Everything we ordered tasted amazing and we didn't have any complaints. They were even short staffed at the time we went but the employee helping us did a great job in making sure we were doing alright and if we needed anything. I highly recommend this place!

We stumbled into Buffalo Pub and Grill the day of the Xmas Parade. We just wanted to place to rest our feet from the rain. We casually met the owner and she had such wonderful kind energy. The bartender made the BEST gin and tonic( it was a Well drink) and my husband loved his Celebration Red Ale and ordered 2! The place was not busy at 12 noon on this rainy Saturday, but we met a local woman who brought in her sweet dog. If we lived in SLO, we would be "regulars" Thank you for making us feel so welcomed Buffalo Pub and Grill!

This place is the real deal. Chef is 100% on point as is the bartender. I only come to this area once Year and this is a place will be a must go to every time!

My husband and I tried it out for the first time and really enjoyed it! The guy who helped us was friendly and quick with serving our food. He also made a great Peach Palmer! I ordered the Chicken Skewer with a side salad (chicken was a tad dry, but otherwise filling) and my husband ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger with fries (he got full and had fries to share, which were seasoned and crisped to perfection). With a couple alcoholic drinks, the 2 meals and tip our total came to over 50. For us to enjoy a spur-of-the-moment lunch date in SLO it was worth it!

What a wonderful experience we had with Sierra. We got turned away at four other places and this was a long shot. As soon as I asked Sierra if she was able to serve a group of 18 men, she immediately welcomed us, directed us to our tables and allowed us to push the tables together. She singlehandedly served 18 hungry men plus drinks and no errors were made and we were absolutely satisfied with the level of confidence and professionalism she showed us. She deserves a raise!

Stopped in for Happy Hour for a cocktail and some food! The Korean marinated pork/Kimchi tacos were to die for! James, the bartender/general manager really took good care of us. I am in SLO for a week and will definitely be back here!

Popped in 1st time while visiting SLO. Eric made us his signatureManhattan (highly recommend; ordered twice!). Ordered the Bison Mac & Cheese and Pretzel Bites. Would definitely reorder both items but Mac & Cheese was #1 . Brittany & Eric took awesome care of us. Food and drinks were reasonably priced. Definite stop in SLO.
