While we had a great server, Tristan, the food was severely lacking in taste. Pulled pork was dry and burger and brisket were tasteless. But again our server was AWESOME.

One of the best meals I've had! And I travel alot. The pulled chicken and brisket didn't even need sauce. Tender and savory. The in house sauces were all terrific, with the southern gold as most unique. The prices are right for the amount of food. You'll leave stuffed!!

Food was great, but service was kind of hit and miss. Our waitress did a good job, made sure our drinks were filled, was pleasant, and corrected any issue that came up very quickly. Was a little irritated that they were out of St Louis ribs, and a few small things like cheese was missing from the hashbrowns or the bread that never arrived until after the meal. All and all, the good well outweighed the bad, and the friendliness of the staff made up for any shortcomings.

Food was awesome. However, if you are having a large group, maybe call a few days ahead. It was kind of chaotic. Food was amazing though (granted i just had a burgwr and fries). But ive not heard complaints about th3 food.

We were seated and given menus and a glass of water and did not see our waitress again. Other tables were being served shortly after being seated. We left after 35 minutes of no service. I do not recommend.

Good food, good atmosphere. Depending on the time of day you arrive the service is either slow or right on queue. Slow time is 2 servers peak is around 4. Only had one time where food ordered was bad. It was a tenderloin. The edges were over crispy and the center was raw. Oil was too hot I assume. Other than that, every other time we chose to dine there it was fantastic!

Ordered a rib eye, got a sirloin. Ordered it medium well, came out rare. Also was supposed to be a 12 ounce steak, looked like at least 20 ounces. Not impressed.

Worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant. We got our drinks, she took our order then it all went to hell. We watched 4 tables come, eat and leave. Waitress checked in 2x's assuring us we were next. The next visit was from a mamager I am guessing and she said our order did not print off computer. Another 15 mins passed while they made hamburger and pulled pork sandwich. Hamburger was burnt and she said no way, i showed her, we got our drinks for free. Never again and i recommend you reconsider going there. If we weren't attending an event at this venue and time allowed I would of walked. Didnt even want to leave 1 star but to leave a review I had to. Bufords I hope this review gets your attention!

Came in for Prime Rib on Sat night at 6:30 pm. Three employees, no other customers. Hostess did not know if they served prime rib? Guy from kitchen said they only have it when they have leftovers from another dinner? Appeared to be a very warm and cozy place but no customers. We left without eating.

I only gave this one star just because I had to in order to leave a review. The sign on the door said they are open Monday-Friday from 11am-11pm. The door was locked. Some guy was reading the paper. So I called with no answer. So we left.

A great little place attached to the Best Western. We thought it might be a overpriced hotel restaurant but it was anything but. The steaks were juicy and very tender. We really enjoyed our meals

Great hospitality, service, food, and overall quality. They offer various choices of domestic and import beers, wine, and other alcoholic spirits. The atmosphere is comfortable and laid back. A place where you can bring the family, date, or yourself and enjoy a great meal. I can say that I have never experienced a bad visit or meal.

a group of us ate at Buford's last Tuesday. Out group gathers for dinner twice a week and ranges from an average of 6 to 14 at a time. We have been frequenting the same restaurant every Friday and vary our choices on Tuesdays. We have been considering changing our Friday choice and Buford's had been a real possibility for that change until last Tuesday.Several people ordered the baby back ribs; others, the St. Louis style. They were all identical. It appeared that they substituted St. Louis style for baby back. It was apparent that they had been reheated several times leaving them very dry -- also very salty. This is in contrast to a few weeks ago when they were very moist, meaty and very flavorful. The hash browns were scorched. So much for changing to Buford's for our Friday hang out!
