HAVING passed Buffalo Bills in Halland countless times, always promising we’d call in, the opportunity never arose, or we decided not to go out that far. However, as it was a special occasion (my birthday), we decided we’d make a special visit.
One thing that never really registered when passing by was that it was also a hotel. Very similar to an American-style motel where all the rooms are in one long block attached to the main hotel, we felt that we’d landed right there in Texas!
With ample off-road parking, the place was eerily quiet for a Friday night. But being early January, it’s not always surprising as people are still licking their wounds following Christmas.
Buffalo Bills is a Tex-Mex restaurant with a delicious blend of traditional Texas and Mexican cuisine in a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. The menu boasts mouth-watering dishes like sizzling fajitas, crispy tacos, hearty burritos, and cheesy nachos, all made with the freshest ingredients and authentic spices. They pride themselves on providing excellent service and creating a memorable dining experience for their customers. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner, the restaurant is the perfect destination for Tex-Mex lovers.
One thing that caught my eye on entering was the decor. I love rustic themes and originality and this place has it in abundance. There were standing tables made from beer kegs and the entire place kitted out in wooden slats, the ceiling adorned beams and some real original art sculptures in the corners.
We started with Buffalo Bill’s Famous Buffalo Wings at £7.95 — Succulent Chicken Wings served with blue cheese dip. We opted for the Bourbon & Southern Comfort flavour, which was very nice indeed. I prefer these without the dips as I like to taste the chicken, but the dip comes in a little dip bowl, so you can decide to dip or not dip, depending on your preference.
The problem with the menu was that there were too many things I wanted to try. Would we go for a sharing platter or a steak? Then there’s the Burrito-Taco-Fajita-Quesadilla-dilemma! Good to see there’s plenty on the menu to cater for veggies and vegans.
As it was my birthday, and I wasn’t paying, we decided to play it safe and opted for the Buffalo Bill’s Famous Nacho Platter to share at £14.95. Fried corn chips smothered in melted cheese, served with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, jalapenos and olives. We opted for the House Chilli topping.
The wings were awesome! Really tasty and succulent — just as promised. I really couldn’t fault them. We have a ‘Chicken Wing Tuesday’ as a staple in our household and it was seriously as good as they can be.
The Nachos? Unfortunately, while tasty, fell short of expectations due to their unconventional construction. Not that the component parts were bad — it wasn’t that at all. Typically, the layering of nachos and chilli with accompanying sauces allows for a dynamic flavour experience with each bite — a concept that, unfortunately, wasn’t executed here. Our nachos were on the bottom, the Chilli was to one side, and the sauces were simply dumped on the top. This required us to eat the sauces first so we could get to the nachos, and the spoonful of Chilli was used up really quickly, so all we had left was dry nachos. And it was only whilst writing this review that I realised that there were no jalapenos and olives. But as I hadn’t realised it, suggest they’re probably not needed. Despite this setback, the dish still offered a delicious medley of flavours after overcoming these logistical challenges.
It was good to see a good kiddies’ menu, and they cater well for children’s parties.
A highlight of our experience was the exceptional service provided by a cheerful young lad, whose enthusiasm and helpfulness added to the overall enjoyment of our meal.
We will visit again as the overall experience was really rather good; however, I’d like to try some other items on the menu, and I have my eye on some of the fish dishes!
Buffalo Bills truly surprised us with its cosy ambience and tasty offerings, marking a memorable birthday celebration. From its rustic decor to the extensive Tex-Mex menu, there’s something to please every palate.
While the nachos fell short in presentation, the wings soared high in flavour, leaving us eager to explore more. With attentive staff and a welcoming atmosphere, Buffalo Bills promises an enjoyable dining experience for all. We look forward to returning to indulge in more culinary delights and explore further gems on their menu, including the tempting fish dishes that caught our eye.
The total bill for three people with one round of drinks totalled £65.
