Buffalo Pub and Grill

Great staff and a very robust whiskey/bourbon selection for those wanting to try some hard to find Weller options.

Super fun atmosphere! Great drinks and great music. Came on a Saturday night and danced the night away. Everyone was really welcoming and the bartenders were friendly. The dj played a wide array of music for all the crowds. Took my parents and they had a blast as well as my college age friends

Everyone there is awesome. They are very nice and I highly recommend anybody going there especially for during the day. when they have their cook there

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!

Small little hole in the wall and honestly amazing nachos. They use Potatoes instead of tortilla chips and it elevated the flavor. The bartender is amazing and I would come here again. 20/10 stars.

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!

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 signature🥃Manhattan (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.

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!

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!

Reached out to these guys to see if we could host an after party for our wedding and it was a huge success. Easy to work with and the service we received the night of the event was great! Would absolutely recommend this place for a casual drink if you're rolling through SLO or, if it's after hours, a place to have a more lively good time!

My boyfriend and I were visiting from Portland, OR and this place had a Mac n cheese grilled cheese sandwich?? Sounded pretty Portland to me - we were not disappointed! Service was awesome, she didn't miss a beat. Food came out quickly but details and care were not sacrificed. The fries were addicting alongside their strawberry lemonade gin cocktail 🫠

I had the “Herd” burger, and wow—easily the best burger I’ve had in years. I ordered it medium, and it was cooked to perfection. The flavor combination, especially with the jelly, was unexpectedly amazing and truly unique. There’s a spot in Texas called Twisted Root that used to hold the title for my favorite bison burger, but after today, this one officially takes the crown. A must-try!

Classic pub, bartenders were pleasant and place had a good vibe overall, beats standing around outside in line like other places next door. Stopped in to get last call and had a good time.

They offer a medium sized selection of fatty bar food, which is good if you're in the market for that. They also have a large drink selection and a kind wait staff. They also offer outdoor dining on the sidewalk with heat lamps in addition to letting people inside (although I will note that it doesn't seem like masks or social distancing protocols were enforced inside).

Nice small pub with excellent food. I ate lunch here with a buddy and my wife and it was very good. I had a Teriyaki Mushroom Pineapple burger. The chef here is obviously talented and doing unusual stuff. They did not have any Porter or much dark beer only Guiness, so this is mostly a place for IPA or Ale. The staff was very friendly and there are a couple of tables in the front to do the SLO people watch thing. They are in prime downtown real estate.

The atmosphere here is nice, yet can get a little crowded during rush. The food is better than traditional pub food, and I love that. The cozy atmosphere is welcoming, enhanced by live music and friendly staff. Despite the smaller venue, there is ample seating to enjoy.

Food is surprisingly good for this type of establishment. Stay away from the weekends after 9pm unless you are.in your 20s and enjoy karaoke and red bull based drinks

Great buffalo burger. Kitchen open until 8:45PM. Great selection of liquor as well as the beer.

Decent place but fight in finding a place. We went on thanksgiving night and we really struggled to find a place for 15 mins. We had a group of 5 people so initially they gave one table of 4 and we had to adjust for sometime but later they managed to give one more table. But we had to sit on different table for our entire duration. The food options are also very limited. For a vegetarian there are even less. The music was good. We had mango beer which was good and cosmopolitan which wasn’t as per the expectation. So be sure to get a booking or be early to be easily seated there.

First time. Good food, fair service. Bartender could use more help, 1 more employee would be perfect.

Only had the drinks. Friendly Service. Great bartender. Fast service. Never tried their food

I made an online order on buffalowildwings website and arrived on time. And found out they didn’t even start making it. They weren’t even crowded and this happened. I don’t think its the locations fault, just their website showing pick up time 30 minutes early. f

So we went to go get dinner here at 9pm but we didnt realise it was a dive bar there were like 2 tables with people eating on it and bar service. So I think they were prepping for the dancing which starts at 10pm. We ended up going somewhere else to eat but if you go here for dinner go earlier and come late to dance. The staff was very understanding when we left!

This is a BRUNCH rating. It was okay. The menu is weird... Only 2-3 actuall brunch items. They were out of champagne, so wife couldn't get a mimosa (part of the reason we chose this place to start with). The Irish coffee was great, they don't skimp on the whiskey. My meal was fine (two eggs, tater tots, bacon, toast). The Mac and cheese was also good.

It took too long , we couldn't hear a thing Because of the loud music and we had a special on our phone and the manager did not want to honor it. Very disappointing and we were there to celebrate a close friends birthday. If it had not been for the coupons we wouldn't have been there.

Was in line for the bar for 45 minutes, my friend’s boyfriend drifted ahead of us by 2 feet so naturally we tried to catch up. The bouncer immediately tried to kick us out of line even though we had been there the whole time. Did not try to kick out the group of blonde women who blatantly cut in front of us though. Seemed like racism.

I ordered out through uber eats 2x and both time they got it wrong. I ordered a chicken sandwich and they gave me a hamburger (I don't eat red meat so my food went to my dog) The other time I was missing 2 sides and a sandwich. Then I went to go eat in. Parking was difficult but that's what happens when you go DT Slo When I ate in the 2 girls working were friendly but didn't know how to ring up gift certificate I had bought on KSBYs Deals. I ended up paying and not using the certificate. and now I feel like I cannot go back in and use my Certificate When I called to talk to a manager the phone number isn't correct online and there is no way to get a hold of anybody. Suggestion :FIX YOUR PHONE LINE AND THE ONLINE INFORMATION and TRAIN EMPLOYEES ON HOW TO RING UP PROMOTIONS AND CERTIFICATES.

I had the most horrible experience at this bar. One of the servers specifically, his name is Ralph, was so rude and went on a total power trip. He yelled and got very angry. I do not want to ever go to this bar again because my experience with Ralph was so awful.

The atmosphere seemed extremely vibrant and welcoming so my brother and I decided to stop in for a few drinks. Despite the friendly bouncers and vibrant atmosphere I was left with a bad time being that we were kicked out for no reason lol. The bartender, im not sure what her name was but she had long strait hair up in a high ponytail with blonde highlights,I feel she was extremely discriminatory against me and my brother and I'm not sure why? She was constantly hovering over us and when i put my head down for 5 seconds to hold my neck, (I broke my neck a few months ago so sometimes I get neck pains that requires me to move my head down and grab my neck), she comes up to me and tells me I'm falling asleep and that she's kicking me out. Mind you we've only had 2 beers at this point, She then goes up to the bouncer, who by the way is an extremely nice guy, i feel like she must do this often because he was very understanding and i feel like he felt bad for us, but yea she tells him im falling asleep even though I wasn't and he said he's sorry he could clearly tell I was fine but he has to listen to the bartenders when they want someone out. So with this being said, this bar has a lot of potential, just needs better and friendlier bartenders, i can say with certainty you won't have my business again until that happens..

The bar manager threatened to hit women who were using the bathroom. He grabbed them and pushed them against the wall while I was in line. It was really scary and they clearly knew their power. One man said “don’t say anything to him. He’s the bar manager”. It was so scary. I don’t recommend this bar to single college women.

Went and had some drinks with my friends, inside was full so we sat outside. There was a guest outside who kept approaching our table. The bouncer outside let this man keep approaching us, annoying us and other tables. Eventually the guy asked us for coke and when we told him we didn't have any, he swung on my friend and started to punch him in the face. After the alteration and police arriving, the bouncer approached us and said "there was nothing I could do". Next time we will go to a bar that can take care of its guests. Would rate 0 if I could

Where's Tori? Buffalo was my favorite bar in Slo but without Tori it falls flat. She made it fun and introduced all the customers to eachother so we could enjoy the bar together. The new "manager" is rude. She acted as though she was doing us a favor. Her girlfriend works behind the bar I guess and she was less pleasant. We had to ask for our change back. She just took over $15 in change like it was her tip. The door already made us pay $20 each to get in! For what I don't know. Boring. Bad music. Energy is gone. Someone please tell me! Where is Tori?! Edited to add Ownership is sad and petty. This response is tacky & laughable. I hope you end up at a place that appreciates you girl. We know how hard you work and how much love you have for Buffalo. We won't be back. If you're reading this Much love to you! ❤️

The service was super slow, the food was cold and gross when we got it. We paid for our drinks and left. Do not waster your time here.

I went in to place an order 11:20 pm sat at the bar for over 10 mins then lady tells me she can’t place my alcoholic order because it will not allow her to place an order, duh I’ve been here for 10 mins and she never came over. I understand the bar closing at 11:30 pm however, maybe they should walk around the bar area first before they close out.

Stay away from this POS establishment. My girlfriend and I got assaulted by someone who claimed they worked there in the line for the bathroom. He walked up from behind us in the line for the bathroom said he needed to go to the bathroom and I told him there is a line and we are all waiting. He proceeded to shove my girlfriend to the ground and push me forcibly through the line. We were immediately kicked out by the bouncer for “cutting the line” which we were shoved through. I explained what had just happened to the bouncer and he told us to kick rocks. We walked from the back alley to explain to the bouncer at the front that there was someone in the bar that just shoved my girlfriend to the ground on purpose and he couldn’t care less. This experience, coupled with over priced drinks, a floor that is clearly rotten and moves up and down when you walk on it, and a roof that leaks when it rains, surely means I will never be this place my business again. Proceed at your own risk.

I would like to give this place a better review. I walked into the unlocked door of the restaurant at 11:05 and was told by the bartender they don’t open until 12. Which I found interesting because their website and google state they open at 11.

Had drinks only. The lady said we start moving things around about 9pm. No problem we had plenty of time to have one drink and leave. 20 minutes later she came said she had to move our table. We asked can we finish our drinks.She said it manager said you have to leave my friend said after I finish my drink she walked away. The bar manager came over grabbed the finished drink and said leave. A major power trip. Then he tried to grab my husbands drink right out of his hand. Such a wrong way to handle a business. We finished our drinks in 2 minutes and left. I hope that bar manager doesn't come across the wrong person with that aggressive power ego. Im sure it won't end up as well as it did with us 4.
