    Evies has re-opened the restaurant. The food is great and if you know the other Evie's locations, you will find same varied menu.

    This place has a super fun Line Dancing night with comprehensive teaching. However, our waitress had never worked there before, the were short staffed and she was pulled in from a sister restaurant. My burger was pretty good, but the Nachos were absolutely terrible and the chili was the worst I have ever tasted, hands down. My son couldn't even eat it. Also, we couldn't eat the nachos, heaped with limp lettuce and a little canned cheese sauce. Also, we had to leave our table and go to the entrance in order to even SEE the menu as the lighting was very, very dark. I would return for the dancing and a drink, but I would eat at home ahead of time.

    We have been going to White Buffalo for several years during our vacation to Longboat Key. Always a fun time. Food is great, staff is friendly and line dance and/or couple lessons are offered each night.

    I actually enjoyed most of our visit and dinning. Unfortunately, even though the restaurant wasn't completely full my mother and I where seated at the farthest table which was wobbly and somewhat distant from the fun and lively atmosphere we wanted to enjoy more up-close. Our waitress was kind and offered us seats at the small bar by the dance-floor and we enjoyed our time there. The ribs where excellent.

    A very lively and interesting place for country music and dancing. Staff is amazingly friendly and efficient with all this crowd. Food is limited in choice but what's being offered is well done and good. It was a great evening with friends and we will do it again, definitely.

    Friendly staff, clean like all the Evies restaurants. If you like to dance, the WB is the only place in Sarasota for Country style dancing.

    We always have a great time every time we go to White Buffalo, along with the great service and attention the servers give us. The best part is going early to learn some new line dancing steps. Great fun. We'll definitely go back.
