Great White Buffalo Public House — Restaurant in Adel

We drove 30 minutes for The Great White Buffalo and it surpassed my expectations, especially for being opened for only 3 weeks! Normally I wait at least six months to go to a new place for them to "work out the kinks" but my only complaint would be that we had to wait about 10 minutes for a place to sit cause it was such a buzz.

The atmosphere is classy yet comfortable and there are options to sit in a more intimate setting or more open bar seating for socializing. The staff was so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable! Shout out to Dave, Jess and Sammi Jo!!!

I don't drink alcohol, so I was delighted to see there were great Mocktail selections, the chauffeur was so refreshing, and my friend got a tequila drink that she was absolutely delighted with!

We ordered four appetizers to share because everything sounded so good! (We already have our meals picked out for next time)

The broccoli 10/10 The puff pastry 10/10 The fajita egg rolls 10/10 The poutine 12/10

The chef did an amazing job and has some unique twists on classic meals that you won't find anywhere else!

I would drive further if I had to! Loved...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ OMG, I absolutely LOVE this place! I had GWB on my “must-try” list for way too long, and my husband and I finally made it in last night for date night.

First off—the vibe is spot on. Very chill, with a cool speakeasy feel (bartenders in ties included). Second—the drinks. My go-to is always a classic lemon drop martini, and theirs was perfection. My husband opted for a blueberry cider that was so good I had to steal a sip.

For an appetizer, we went with their house-made (not Sysco!) cheese curds, and let me tell you—they rank right up there with my favorites from an Irish bar in Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin (a place that knows a thing or two about cheese 😉).

Dinner was just as impressive. I had the Bier Cheese Spaetzle with chicken, and my husband ordered the Pho Philly. Both were delicious, and the portions were generous enough that we left with to-go boxes. I had my eye on dessert, but I was way too full this round.

Huge thanks to the staff for making it such a great experience—we’ll definitely be back. Perfect...

Brought my wife here on a Tuesday night for some drinks and dessert. We had our drinks served by Tim, who expertly crafted me an Old Fashioned and Black Pearl, they were EXCELLENT! My wife had the Hummingbird which she called "A pallette pleaser", and she enjoyed it immensley. The staff were super attentive, friendly, and overall the atmosphere was exactly what we have been looking for. The building is very old but the ownership clearly went to great lengths to preserve the original character, with a mix of modernity. There are, THANKFULLY, zero TV's on the walls to be seen, and you can actually have a conversation with someone next to you distraction free.

We also met Jess, who was very friendly and had a great time talking with her.

We had the cookie butter banana cheesecake which was PHENOMENAL.

Overall The Great White Buffalo is an breath of fresh air. It's an Locally owned, ORIGINAL design, almost speakeasy-esque atmosphere and we loved it. We will be back, and bring friends too!

Thank you for...
