Buffalo Nickel Inc — Restaurant in Avalon

While there were a couple issues with my first experience at Buffalo Nickel, I happily give them 5 stars for excellent customer service and in the end, good food and good value for the money. Buffalo Nickel offers a large variety of items: from hamburgers and chicken wings, to more substantial fare like seafood and fish, various Mexican entrees, barbecue to pizza. Normally I'd be leery of a menu like this, but their barbeque (while a bit too sweet for my taste) is very good (pork ribs in particular), and the salmon fillet is excellent. They serve dinner with a choice of soup or salad..and personally I recommend the salad - a very nice quality salad for a side dish, with olives, cucumber and tomato. They have very good appetizers, and among them, I would recommend their garlic bread. Pricing is fair and a good value when considering the overall quality of the food as well as generous portions. Buffalo Nickel is the one restaurant that will deliver on the island, which is convenient in...

BAD SERVICE ..Let me begin saying that this was a wonderful day up UNTIL I went here!! The Kids menu has more class than the Birthday Menu, and is on 1 red piece of paper in a plastic sleeve, , they come to your table and ask is there anyone with a birthday, you say yes, no one said happy birthday to me, if you said yes they give you that red menu and they get an attitude, it is embarrassing! When we got our food it was realllly greasy, not what we ordered, we specifically ordered beef taquitos and flautas and they brought us chicken, they made me feel like I shouldn't even be there!! If they don't want anyone coming in for a free birthday dinner, maybe they shouldn't advertise it!! the hispanic waiters, treated my husband who is 61 years old white male, with such disrespect, I could see the anger in his face but he kept his cool because it was my birthday, we do not recommend the free birthday dinner or this restaurant.. to anyone unless...

Omg!!! Okay. So... It was my first time on the island and it was my birthday. Left Dana point at 950 and got to Catalina at 1120 ish. Went to island rentals and got the extra half an hour for my birthday, and paid the two for 3, making it a 3 and a half hour rental for only $80 bucks. I didn't have to walk nowhere!!! Got the cart at 1150 and had to return it at 320. * this place was our first stop for my free birthday meal. I got the green wet burrito, well I got half and my girl ate the other half. We should have left it at that, but it was free. My girl got the nachos, which were way too much to eat but pretty cheap. Oh oh!!! Get the buffalo milk too!!! It's there special! I hate that this place has a B though, but I see why. I'm a B type of guy myself anyways, so I gave them a shot and they did not let m Down! Way to go buffalo nicks! An A for effect. And a B for I'll Be back boys!!! See y'all left...
