For decades, the Buffalo Tavern has been known as one of the best bars in eastern Iowa. “The Buff” has been standing since 1900, and though it’s changed hands over the years, the commitment to quality food and community has been one thing that hasn’t changed. Stop in to try what might be the best breaded pork tenderloin in Burlington. You’ll feel like part of the family by the time you walk back out the door.

This historic hole in the wall tavern is a local favorite for a reason! Everything made here is packed with flavor and fresh as can be.
