Buffalo Cafe
218 4th Ave W, Twin Falls, ID
Crema's Take
“This beloved Twin Falls institution has mastered the art of nostalgic charm paired with genuinely excellent comfort food—their chicken fried steak is legendary enough that regulars swear by it as a standard-setter. The modest menu keeps things focused and fresh, with generous portions and impeccably cooked ingredients that justify the consistently packed counter and tables. It's the kind of place where sitting elbow-to-elbow with locals isn't a drawback but rather the whole point, where decades of history infuse every meal with a sense of belonging.”

Locally owned restaurant with great food and portions. Restaurant is clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. Open for breakfast and lunch simple and modest menu options. I've been back several times and had something different each time. Never a letdown.
I needed a change of scenery and found this place in Twin. I ordered the Buffalo Chip full order and was pleasantly surprised at how fresh the ingredients were. Not over cooked veggies and the eggs OM were perfect. The coffee was fresh! The waitstaff seemed unusually happy and that is always a good sign . The place was busy but you wouldn’t really know it as my order was placed quickly. I highly recommend this place! Thanks for a great experience🙏😁
You gotta know what you’re getting into before coming here. This place has been here forever and is all about the vibes. The food is fine but that’s not the reason to come here. The decor and vintage Western charm is the main draw! If you just want diner food there’s plenty of other places in town for that. This place is iconic, so be prepared to wait and be uncomfortable. Best time to go is on a week day in the late morning. This place is not for large groups. You are most likely to get a good table without a wait in the late morning after the early birds leave. The service is great! I love the friendly atmosphere.
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! 😂😂
