Buffalo Cafe at the Old Bank

A good place to get a bite to eat in downtown Plains near the Jimmy Carter National Historical Park. I was hoping to try their BBQ, but since they were expecting a crowd from the SAMS Shortline Railroad that afternoon, they were working off of a limited menu. I had a double cheeseburger instead it and it was pretty good. The staff was friendly as well, keeping their patience with all of the questions as to why folks couldn't get something off of the regular menu.

Had a wonderful lunch here. Service was great. They now have 2 tables out front for real outdoor dining. We were able to finish before the storms came in!

It's a neat restaurant because it's located in an old bank and they use the old safe as a storage room. They claim to have the best burger in the state in 2016 and it was a pretty average burger. The menu was really limited at the time that we went. The service was great and the people were super nice. I think that it is the only restaurant in town so they have kinda monopolized the tourist food industry from SAM shortlines. It had an overall great atmosphere.

Stopped off to grab some lunch in Plains at the Buffalo Cafe at the Old Bank. It’s a small cafe on Main Street in Plains. They have several seating areas, one at the front of the location and an indoor patio out back. We were told by the staff that Jimmy Carter donated the money to have the indoor patio built and that it was a great place to sit and have lunch and they were absolutely right. The food was good and got us out of the cold for a little while. Check it out if you’re in the area.
