The food was excellent, but could use more vegetarian/vegan dishes to satisfy bigger parties. Always hard to find a place with something for everyone.

We love the Burning Buffalo a lot! It's such a fun spot to take our kids and grandkids! The waitresses are the best. Friendly but very professional. We've never had a bad meal there. Their burgers are wonderful and the fish fries might be the best in the city.

The food is excellent. Although probably most known for the “all-you-can-eat“ meats, the salad bar is really superb. I think one should appreciate the variety of the meats and not necessarily the “all-you-can-eat“ nature of it. Enjoy the salad bar. Pace yourself with the meat. Also, people there are very nice. It’s a very welcoming environment. It’s a particularly good value using the VIP card, which my friends and I purchase each year.

We used to come here when it was E.B. Greenes as our yearly anniversary spot. We were so excited to see it reopen after Morton's. The owner has come over to the table to check on us every time we have come. He honored E.B. Greenes by keeping the piano and the man that played it. The tables are always clean and the staff is always professional. It is nice to have a nice dinner downtown and have our original vibe that we had the first 7 years of our anniversaries. We love this place and will return next year. Only suggestion I would have is to have a bigger champagne or sparkling wine list for people that want to go and celebrate big moments. We miss that champagne bucket next to the table. Otherwise, food was great, everything was as it should be.
