Buffalo Bill's Bar & Grill
Buffalo Bill's Bar & Grill, nestled in the heart of Oakley, Kansas, is a genuine local gem that perfectly blends the warmth of a small-town dive bar with the charm of a family-friendly grill. From the moment you step inside at 207 Center Ave, you feel the heartbeat of a community hub alive with laughter, familiar faces, and the inviting aromas of home-cooked American classics.
The true appeal of Buffalo Bill’s lies not only in its atmosphere but in its thoughtful hospitality. Guests often recount stories of the staff’s kindness-like the chef who stayed late to prepare meals after a long road trip or the attentive servers navigating a busy night with grace. This level of care transforms a simple meal into a memorable experience, one that welcomes weary travelers and locals alike.
The menu shines with hearty, comforting dishes that reflect the spirit of the Midwest. The burgers here are a standout-juicy and flavorful, paired with crisp, golden fries that satisfy every craving. For the adventurous, the Rocky Mountain Oysters appetizer offers a taste of regional authenticity rarely found on typical bar menus. Onion rings, described by many as "to die for," provide a perfect crispy indulgence that complements a cold drink or an evening of pool and shuffleboard.
Buffalo Bill’s is more than just food. It’s a vibrant social space where you can challenge friends to a game of pool or darts, dive into giant video game machines, or enjoy the energy of karaoke nights. The jukebox hums with classic hits, setting a perfect soundtrack to an evening filled with good food and good company. The decor strikes a balance-nostalgic yet clean, avoiding the clichés of a typical dive bar while maintaining an inviting, unpretentious vibe.
Ultimately, Buffalo Bill’s Bar & Grill feels like a rare find-a warm haven for anyone passing through or looking to share a night with locals who know good food and genuine fun. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or settling in for an evening of games and conversation, the flavors and atmosphere here leave a lasting impression that beckons you back time and again.

“ Got to meet Isaac and his dad who built this place. Showed up at the end of the night and the chef stayed to make food for me and my kids. Especially accommodating since we were tired from our road trip. We played shuffleboard while waiting our food. So fun! They also have pool/billiards and various giant video games, plus a juke box. Karaoke was starting at 10pm, but we couldn't stay. FOOD & BEV: The BLT with sweet potato waffle fries was awesome. (BEST BLT I've had!) we also enjoyed the fully-stacked cheeseburger with curly fries and the 14+ mini-taco appetizer with sour cream and salsa. They even have one of my favorite boulevard beers in bottles. The bartender made Shirley Temples for my kids. Highly recommend! ”
“ Damn good burger and fries!! Just driving through town and stopped by. This place is a great “dive bar” with a little bit of everything. Restaurant, bar, Pool, darts, gaming machines, and a lot of locals having fun. We didn’t see anything that looked good in the town of Colby so drove a little further here . Really glad we came here . ”
“ We stopped here on a whim as it was the only thing we could find that was open. I was nervous walking in as it’s a bit of a dive. As soon as we walked in we realized it was filled with locals, and felt out of place. But we shouldn’t have!! Everyone, staff and customers, were SO welcoming. We talked far longer than we intended. We ordered the Rocky Mountain Oysters as an app. Usually this dish is expensive and you barely get any, but we got a nice full basket of thick cuts! My husband loved his burger. I got a wrap that was so so, but did the job. Annnnd… the bathroom was, well, it worked. Still give it 5 stars. Would definitely go back! ”
“ The onion rings are to die for. Vary nice chill atmosphere weather your just grabbing a bite or wanting to have a few drinks and play some pool this is the spot. Highly recommend ”
“ We thoroughly enjoyed our visit with Kim at BUFFALO BILL'S. She greeted us from the back of the dining room as she was walking out of the kitchen loaded down with her arms full of food. She had a mixture of panic and exhaustion on her face as she approached our table rattling off the specials. I encouraged her to relax as no one in the restaurant was in a hurry. Come to find out that she was the ONLY person working! She was the bartender, cashier, server, cook, and busboy. God bless you, Kim. I hope the owner appreciates your dedication. Most people would have locked the door and gone home. You rocked it!! The Jen's Burger and Mushroom Swiss Burger were made to perfection. They were the best burgers that we've had thus far, and we've come from outside Charlotte NC , so that's really saying something! As we were chatting with the friendly locals, she was moping the floor .... Thank you for all you do, Kim. We highly recommend this establishment. Tell Kim we sent you! ”
