Buffalo's Grill?

I ate here. It was so-so. Let's just say I'm not dying to go back. The service was nice though. You couldn't ask for better servers!

I think I have posted this before. Several months ago I ran into a Zaxby's employee buying Perdue Farm chicken tenders at Sam's. Ii would love to see a Zaxby's in MS!

I would have to go with RolltideQueen food was so so service very good. I had a chopped steak covered with a slice of cheese, mushrooms and onions (nice concept poor execution) the chili I had on the side appeared homemade but it wasn't great the sauteed veggies were good. I do like to give new places more than one try before I write them off and this place is worth another try.

I really like Zaxby's but I find them a bit pricey for fast food. I just looked at their menu online, though, and they have some apps that I'd like to try.

Their sign looks amateurish. Anyone know who owns this?

The word is that this place has gone out of business. Anyone who can confirm ??

No way. Really? That's GOT to be some sort of record, even for this area.

I went by there toward the end of july. They had stopped giving away free cheese dip as an apptizer. I had to ask for it. It was SMALLLLLLLL dish probably holding half a cup of cheese dip. The price tag was 3.25$ I got a plate of nachos "piled high" for 13.99" Piled high? They stacked a few condiments on each little chip like Rosie's cantina. It didn't fill me up. My half cup of cheese dip and "piled high" nachos ended up costing me like 20+$ after a drink and taxes. Never went back.

Hadn't been that way in a few weeks, but its no record. The Wagon Wheel out my way on 72 was in business for 30 days. I don't think the Elgin Grill lasted much longer either. I stopped there once on my way home and the food was terrible.

But back to Buffalo's, if that pricing mentioned was right, that tells you why they went out of business.

Catch 22, imo. For a food establishment to survive here, it needs patrons. If you serve higher quality food and price at cost plus a profit, it's too high and nobody will come. If you lower the food quality or cut portion sizes to make it where more people can afford to come, they complain about the quality or amount of the food. If you then cut staff to try to accomodate being able to afford to feed those people a higher quality food, they complain about having slow service and stiff the wait staff. Then the wait staff quit because they can't make a living. People here want great food and lots of it, but they don't want to pay for it. That's just not realistic. Maybe they should be made to just choose between the meat-and-threes and Jacks. Any decent chain would be crazy to come here and think they could survive for long.

Well said. All the rednecks love their meat and taters.

That's a great idea for a restaurant that would fly here. Just your choice of a couple of fried meats, five kinds of potatoes, sweet tea and bananna pudding. They could call it MeatTeaTaters&Puddin'. Taters&Puddin' for short. Serve up a big old greasy plate of it for $3.99 including the tea and a big bowl of pudding each, serve it all together, leave a stack of napkins and straws and pitcher of tea on the table and if they run out make them get up and get it themselves. No tipping expected.

AF, you forgot the mac and cheese to be served along side the potatoes! LOL!

You're right, em! Make that two fried meats, five kinds of taters, mac-n-cheese, sweet tea and naner puddin'. Mmm mmm. Goood greezins'.

and the never ending rolls lol

Anybody could make better mac and cheese than they did. Even the microwave kind was better than theirs. I saw them hauling away the booths and tables a week or so back. They went out of business cause their food was average to awful or was the one time I tried them. They weren't getting a second chance from me.

For everyone making the condescending redneck remarks, did you actually eat at this place? I did. It was awful. BG's food was nowhere near high quality unless you just got out of a third world prison.

I told my wife the night we ate there, "You watch, this place will be gone before fall."

Well, I am apparently in the rarity in people because I think Rosie's Cantina is god awfull. To me, buffalos grill was/is about on par.

No, I did not eat at the restaurant. However, I am sure you are correct in that it probably sucked. My "redneck" comment was more directed at the food tastes of the people of Florence. Every restaurant is the same. There is no way a Mediterranean, Indian, German, French, or anything "different" would ever make it there. You either have to fry up some chicken tenders or be a meat and 3 joint to be succesful.

I believe Hannalore's German reataurant in Florence is still open.

Hannalore's is still open, from what I've seen, and has a very devoted loyal following because they have excellent food from what I have heard but I have not been myself. Did anyone ever confirm whether or not Buffalo's went out of business or not?

I think Buffalo's Grill was serving beaten dead horse!

The redneck comment was right on. Why do you think Ryan's does so well- Cheap food, lots of carbs and fat, nasty cheap meats and low price. I was in there two times, the last was years ago- A very large woman was watching the salad bar for them to bring out more "Crab" salad. When they did, she moved as fast as she could and grabbed the whole serving container out of the bar, tipped it up on her plate and emptied the whole thing on her plate. She was certainly a redneck woman- probably still has her Christmas lights on the house.

I wonder if she was the only one in the place with crabs.

They would have been Fake Crabs just like what is in the "crab" salad...... Would that make them FRABS?
