Buffalo Stone Café — Restaurant in Winnipeg

Fort Whyte has been a family favourite for 10+ years. We've seen the ownership/management changes at the café more than a few times. Our latest visit was somewhere between fine and disappointing.

Three breakfast items and one lunch item took 35 minutes. We could see that two of the breakfast items were ready a full 10 minutes before they were brought to our table. While we understand the staff may have wanted to send all 4 items at once, in the end they served the two breakfast items first, but they were already cold. (The lunch item and third breakfast item arrived within 5 minutes later, but somehow lukewarm rather than hot.)

The food itself was good, although two of the meals were cold and the other two were slightly above room temperature, as noted above. The staff is friendly and helpful. The location and ambience is unique and exceptional, of course.

We will hope for a better experience on...

Ordered a cafe burger with chicken and a side of poutine. The burger bun was moldy, when I went to tell them, the girl took my food, and went to the back. Didn't not say anything to me. I assume they took it in the back to just swap buns, but I had to ask for a refund. The cook said to just refund the burger nothing else. The girls were nice, but deferred to the cook about everything. I sat down to eat my poutine and found black hair in it, so ended up just leaving at that point. I think this place could use a little oversight, as both food items ordered had something wrong with them.. giving 2 stars because the girl...

From the atmosphere to the menu, Fort Whyte and the chef at Buffalo Stone have nailed it. The cafe is well stocked with many menu and drink items to suit all dietary needs, while maintaining that all ingredients are locally sourced and well sustained. The food is fantastic and well thought out. The eating area is well kept, clean and situated right beside nature with large windows to look out (or sit outside in the summer) and watch the variety of bird/squirrel regulars while you eat. All in all a great experience at a great price! Complements to the chef...
