Buffalo Grille   

Spending the morning in the Medical Center area? Stop in at the Buffalo Grille for a Western-themed breakfast of eggs and sausage, a green-chile burrito, huevos rancheros, or to-die-for Anaheim chiles stuffed with sausage and cheese and deep-fried before adding two fried eggs! The menu includes apple-wheat pancakes, fluffy omelets, and fruit and nut pancakes served with peppered bacon. Try an order of cheese grits and pecan-smoked sausage. Lunch is casual and filling, with a fine burger on the menu, as well as homemade chicken and dumplings, fried catfish, and chiles rellenos with red beans and rice. Ask about the daily specials. The interior is rustic, right up to the huge buffalo head on the wall. If it's a nice day, enjoy your meal on the patio. Buffalo Grille serves breakfast and lunch. You can also visit the new Buffalo Grille on Voss in the Galleria area. -- Lyn Foster
