The Lone Buffalo by Tangled Roots Brewing Company

The Wisconsin Fried cheese curds were very good! We had the Wagyu Reserve burger.. Not a bad burger, but nothing really stood out about it. The staff great!

First time in Ottawa, very happy we made a stop here. Staff was very friendly, loved the atmosphere and historic building. Beer was great with a large variety of options!

On my first visit to Ottawa, I set out to experience some of the local dining scene and found myself at The Lone Buffalo, a restaurant that reflects the charm of this small but vibrant town. From the moment I stepped through the door, the atmosphere suggested I was in for something memorable. To begin, my daughter and I shared Aunt Bee’s Biscuits, accompanied by a cinnamon butter that struck the perfect balance of sweetness and warmth. They were tender, flavorful, and an excellent introduction to the meal. For the main course, we both gravitated toward the burgers—always a reliable measure of a kitchen’s skill. The Cease & Desist Burger, my choice for the evening, delivered an impressive depth of flavor and arrived perfectly juicy, complemented by a side of crisp, well-seasoned fries. Across the table, the BBQ Brewmaster Burger proved equally satisfying, rich with smoky notes and a bold character that paired beautifully with the restaurant’s own craft ales. Service was another highlight. Our server, Kyle, was attentive without being intrusive, checking in at just the right moments to ensure everything was to our liking. By the end of the evening, it was clear that The Lone Buffalo is more than just a casual stop—it’s a place where thoughtful hospitality, well-executed food, and a robust beer program come together to create a meal worth remembering.

We got lucky and showed up coincidentally during happy hour where apps were half off. We ordered an array of different apps and they were all delicious. The pimento cheese dip was our favorite by far. Great selection of drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic. Happy we stopped by and will definitely go again next time we're in the area.

I went here on a weekend and the place was crowded. I loved the cocktails. The food was good. The citrus salmon was good and the salmon was nicely seasoned. I loved the cauliflower florets. Also the tacos were delicious and the shrimp was perfectly cooked and tasted great. The wings were amazing and the chicken was cooked just right. The ambience was good. But the service was bit late and we had to wait for sometime for each order to get delivered.
