Buffalo Grill - Tarbes

Rarely can one find 'Service' in France, but this amazingly American style burger place has super service and super food. Popcorn comes with the beer...can be crowded at popular times. The man who greeted us and showed us our table, Mathias (Il est beau) and our waitress, Melanie as well as the last time we were there with Justina were all so friendly and welcoming that we felt like one of the family. We were asked 3 times Is Everything OK by them. Oh all in French. Also surprising that when I asked for 'well done American style' it really was. Usually in France you get medium rare for well. All said a great filling, tasty and friendly place to eat.

The service was very slow and the lady that served us was rude! The food on the other hand was good! This is a pretty good location for after you get done swimming in pool nearby or shopping in stores not far either.

It was nothing like the beef from Texas ! the place was not very busy, tables were dirty , and it did not smell very good....smell like the farm ! bad odor all over dining .... my steak was eatable but not great !

At 7 pm there was plenty of room available but we were placed just next table of a group of 3 loud customers. The waiter was excessively familiar and pushy. The wine was horrible, the Andouillette frites, below standard, so fat that my ballooned stomach would not let me sleep later in the night.It was the most rubbish place we ate during our 2 weeks trip in the south of France, it is a very cheap copycat of US steak houses, and to avoid at all cost.

To fully understand the context for this review, you should also read my reviews of Le Nexhotel and the Ibis Budget. We went to this restaurant only because it was close enough to the Ibis Budget to walk. Our server was pleasant, but the food was pretty rotten. They started off badly by bringing us a basket of bread containing two and a half rolls. Someone already had torn off half of the third roll, but they served it to us nonetheless. I ordered ribs and my wife ordered a burger. The dishes came at the same time, but the burger was raw. Not under cooked. Raw. We sent it back and I was pretty much through with my dinner when the burger finally reappeared. The ribs tasted like hotdogs or other processed meats, not ribs. All in all, a meal best forgotten.
