Buffalo Jacks - American restaurant in Covington - 137 S High St, USA

Update 8/26/23 The service was better with this visit. However, some of the food from this visit was terrible. The "hot" cheeseball appetizers had zero spice to them and had a weird taste. Onion grass is not listed on the menu as an appetizer, but they were able to make them. The alligator was unavailable due to being out of season and "mating season". The trail rider hoagi sandwich, buffalo cheeseburger (smaller than expected), and chicken chunks were pretty good. The walleye was inedible. The cocktail sauce was gelatinous and could be cut with a fork while keeping it's shape from a cup. The prime rib wasn't very good and had an odd taste. I'm not sure anyone in our party will be returning soon for a meal. ORIGINAL POST We sat in a booth on the bar side of the restaurant. The atmosphere was rugged. There were plenty of taxidermy pieces to look at. The service was subpar. The food was okay. There were a few exotic meats offered. The menu needs to be updated as to exclude items no longer available. The prices are very reasonable.

We drove 2 hrs just to visit for the game menu. Everything was great. Service was excellent. Decorations were all authentic Indian. Pretty neat historical place. Bathroom was old and kinda of dingy.

There were 6 of us that went and I wouldn't recommend any of the food that we ordered red to anyone. Buffalo ribeye meal was burnt to a crisp and was suppose to be med well. Ordered the sausage sampler and was very expensive and wasn't tasty. The walleye fish was aweful.. the turkey club was a joke. The frysbwere cold. The Buffalo fajita hardly had anything in it and was cold. Such a terrible experience and we were literally the only table at that time and service was extremely slow... never again

A nice slice of American pie and Americana that is missing in corporate restaurants. Exotic and rare meats that adds character to the unique decor while dining in this historical icon for Covington. If you haven't been to Buffalo Jacks yet, give them a visit.

Only wild game restaurant I know of. Very friendly staff, good menu, and full bar. Not a ton of draft options, but still decent selection. Place has good homey vibe and neighborhood bar feel.

We've waited excitedly to get the chance to go to Buffalo Jack's. Today was the day. Fort Rowdy closed early due to the weather so we were walking into the restaurant about 5.45pm. We weren't greeted particularly friendly but the lady was ok. Seated quickly and the waitress brought us drinks. We ordered immediately about 6pm. Excited to try 2 starters mushrooms and elk sausage. We also ordered Buffalo 🐃 t bone steak and a buffalo ribeye. Both medium rare. And so the wait began.... 40 minutes later my husband's side salad arrived. Over an hour later, seemed like 2 the starters arrived. What an anti climax..... both on the same plate! And not a garnish in site. Just about $1 a piece for the mushrooms. If it was elk I have no idea the sausage basically tasted of pepper, it was a pepper sausage and the battered mushrooms not great. And to make the experience really good the waitress chooses to tell me well over an hour from ordering that they had no Buffalo t bones!!! You're kidding me. She offers a rib eye I say yes in desperation, it came with fresh "tinned" carrots and sweet potato fries. Garnished with wild rice. We eat our steaks medium rare. That's not rare its medium rare, the first time ever my husband sent his steak back as it was raw not rare. Mine was not of an even thickness so I had medium to well round the edges medium to rare in the middle. Good enough not exceptional. The wild rice garnish was really good. Oh and we had to ask for refills when our drinks were nearly empty. $66's of disappointment. I can tell you the grass looked greener on the other tables. The all you could eat fish looked really good, a gentleman's prime rib looked good. We all had long wait times though. Would I go again, maybe but I'd check menu better, ask more questions thats for sure. The place was exceptional the decor the attention to detail. I loved it. I just hope they had staff/chef issues because I would love to think they could do better.

Service was great! Food is always delicious 😋 Visit them soon. Small town restaurant needs your support always!!
