Stay in your car or go to the window for service. The wait staff will come to your vehicle to get your order. Great experience for something different. Food was good but simple. Burgers, fries, salads, chicken sandwiches. The food was good and hot!! Delivered as soon as it was ready. Once you are done, the waitstaff will remove your tray and garbage. Cash only so be prepared for that.

Great food especially the Buffalo burgers, zucchini fries, and their hot dog with bacon. I don't eat cheese, tomatoes, or pickles so I ordered my burger without these toppings. Their fish and chips, and tater tots are about 3 stars though, but their weekly ice cream specials are another five stars depending on what flavor you get. I enjoyed the raspberry ice cream.

This is a roadside drive-in restaurant, you know, the ones with the trays that hang on your window. No one on skates though, sorry. However they do have a covered, outdoor, seating area for when the weather is good. Their servers are so friendly, and helpful, they deserve a nice tip. Their food is amazing, they have a good variety, and fairly quick for how busy they were. Their popular item is the bison burger, but I would recommend everything. My group had the haddock basket the only complaint was they wanted more of the fish (maybe one more piece), it was really tasty, lots of fries, and they were good too. Another person had the haddock sandwich basket and she said it was equally as good. The other two of us had the burgers. They were amazing for even a fancy sit down place but even better for this fast food, outdoor place in the remote area of Delta Junction Alaska. It is a ways from Fairbanks but if you're headed out to see the scenery on the way to Thompson pass, or even a longer trip to Valdez, you will be pleasantly surprised. Well deserving of a 5 start review. OH! I almost forgot their black bean chili. What a great tasting addition on any day but especially on a cold day. You can get the chili dog but it's great all by itself. It was a perfect blend of good taste and a bit of spice to give it a kick. I would highly recommend you try this.

My wife is celiac so finding a SAFE place for her to have something is awesome. We've drove past the Buffalo center MANY times. But... It's a burger spot. Not usually a safe place for someone who is celiac. We were curious if the shakes were safe. The amazing yung lady that came to our truck to take our order said she had a friend who also couldn't have gluten. She checked with the kitchen and confirmed the malt shakes were safe for my wife. Yayyyyyyyy! *The best part? After she took our order and went back to turn in the ticket, I heard her tell the kitchen person to make sure to take extra precaution and why. That right there is why this burger joint is not just a burger joint, it's a staple in this community. The owner and the staff cares, they go above and beyond ! Thank you Buffalo Center for your attention to detail and amazing staff. Allowing my wife to experience your delicious malt shakes that everyone raves about. See ya'll next spring. God bless.

The buffalo burger with cheese and fries were fantastic. The unique taste of fresh and real buffalo was present and the crispy fries enhanced the overall meal. I also got lemonade on the side which washed everything down perfectly.
