Absolutely amazing BBQ. Worth the drive from Lancaster. Wings, brisket, and pulled pork were phenomenal, but the ribs.. crazy good. Ask for extra sauce. The blueberry bourbon sauce is killer. Price was amazing for the amount of food.

This was our first time visiting Roaming Bison Tavern and we had an amazing experience! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The owner even came out personally to greet us and thank us for stopping by, which made the experience even more special.
The barbecue was absolutely delicious, tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection The sides were just as good, and you can tell everything is made with care. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal. We ordered the Pit Master and the RBT Sampler—they did not disappoint
We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great barbecue and excellent hospitality!

I forgot to leave this review yesterday..my wife Melissa and I are always looking for new places to go out and eat..This is beyond a hidden gem!! Not only were we overly welcomed..but the food the food is beyond is beyond amazing..Tuesday is their 1$ wing night..Smoked or Classic..The owner of this fine establishment came over to our table to welcome us..and said “welcome home”..which was amazing..I myself have been a restaurant manager for over 25 years and this experience was beyond amazing! The server/bartender Trevor was again beyond accommodating and overly welcoming! Their smoked brisket and wings were so delicious!! We will definitely be back!! Thank you again..I couldn’t remember the owners name( I apologize)..but again..because of Trevor and the owner, we will be back!!

It’s our first time in Buffalo and we stumbled across this Tavern looking for a Bison burger. We had an amazing time with Heather and Daniel. They recommended great food, great drink, and great advice in enjoying Buffalo for the first time. They took really good care of us and went above and beyond.
We had the bison burger and smoked wings. Both tasted great! 10/10 would recommend.

I wanted to love this place!! We are always looking for good BBQ. Service was good, atmosphere was good. I can’t get over the dryness and size of the ribs. We payed 50.00 for two sausage links, dry brisket, a piece of a rib, and some over sauced wings ( 3). We asked for sauce on side. Mac and cheese had ZERO flavor and beans tasted like baked beans. Onion rings were decent ♀️
At this point Buffalo just needs to stop trying to do Texas BBQ.

The wife and I walked into an empty tavern, and was immediately greeted by the waitress/barkeep. Very kind and courteous, immediately brought us waters.
We ordered the sampler which came with brisket, smoked wings, corn cake, ribs, Mac and cheese, greens, sausage, fries, and beans. We ordered an extra side of brisket and ribs, just because we knew what was in the sampler wasn’t enough for the both of us… lol
Brisket: you could tell it wasn’t “fresh out the smoker”, and had been prepared hours prior to, but it was still juicy and tender. Mild smoke ring. You could tell it wasn’t sitting in some pan of juices all day. Very well seasoned.
Ribs: tender, seasoned “enough”, but not to my liking. Would I order again, yes I would. The dry rub is well seasoned. (We order both wet and dry rub)
Sausage: it very heard to mess up sausage, and they didn’t!!! Nice, plump, juicy sausage. Very flavorful.
All of the sides were very flavorful, I’ll give a 5 out of 5! The greens had a well balanced flavor.
What made me not give this place a perfect score, were the wings. They were dry, and had no flavor whatsoever so ever. Even using the tasteful sauces they gave it, just couldn’t get into them. I was disappointed. But for a 1st time visit, it was a good experience. They also have a vast selection of whiskeys. I mean a lot from all over the world. This place is definitely worth a visit.

Dry, dry dry!
Driest brisket I have ever had, the wings are tasteless and I’m not sure what the macaroni & cheese is. I tried to put hot sauce, and extra barbecue sauce, just not good. I won’t be returning. Nice people though.

Extremely happy to write this review because of the great experience we had here, and for what this owner / restaurant is doing for the community.
Looking from the outside as you drive through the neighborhood it is easy to assume that you are driving past another shady dive bar, and to proceed with your night without giving a second off further thought to stop in. You could not be more wrong.
We dined here Friday evening, and couldn’t be more pleased with our decision. We read the reviews online and looked at the photos and decided to give it a try in the name of good local BBQ, and we found a new top 10 restaurant experience to put on our list. Stepping through the door you instantly scan the room and take in the space; the warm greeting from the staff, the one hundred plus bourbons around the room, and the hours of work with the woodworking from floor to ceiling. We felt like we were welcome friends who had dined here hundreds of times even though we had never been here before.
We took a few minutes to go over the extensive drink menu, and once we settled on two good options we set to trying to make up our minds on which homemade BBQ we would try out. The waitress Heather made some suggestions, and we ultimately opted for a brisket dinner, and a smoked and loaded bologna sandwich. It is safe to say neither disappointed, and both were eaten almost as fast as they appeared. As a self proclaimed BBQ enthusiast, I ordered my brisket with sauce on the side so I could take in the smoke and wood flavors from the cooking process. This was genuine hand smoked meat, low and slow, pink smoke ring and peppery bark exterior- big thumbs up.
During our meal the owner came over to introduce himself, and tell us his story- you could hear in his voice the passion he has for his craft, and for fine bourbons. It was wonderful to hear how he prepares the meats, and some stories on how he curated the selection of bourbons that were available.
Ultimately we left after a much longer stay than we planned- filled with good food, tasty bourbon, and a new favorite spot to see a new friend that shares a passion for bbq and bourbon, but most importantly vision. At any point along the way corners could have been cut with the renovations inside, the menu, the bar, but he chose not to. He chose to open in a neighborhood that most people extract money from with poorly run businesses and predatory practices. He chose to open a quality restaurant, invest in the neighborhood and share his passions. A big hat tip to that; we will be back many times, with more people to support you.

Amazing experience here today. We came on Tuesday for wing night and got the competition wings. The food was so good, delicious homemade blue cheese. Trevor the server went above and beyond for us, super nice and had great recommendations.

We stopped by while driving through the neighborhood. There is a very relaxed atmosphere, it made us feel right at home. The waiter was fantastic. Drinks came immediately, gave us time to decide on our order since everything sounded so good and our glasses were never empty. The philly bbq sandwich melts in your mouth and was put together amazingly well. My wife got farmhouse burger. It was cooked perfectly and was one of the best burgers shes had. The mac and cheese was great with lots of cheese and a hint of jalapeño. The hush puppies were the best ive ever had. They were crispy on the outside and moist in the middle and came with a killer spicy dipping sauce. I would highly recommend checking this place out!
