I had a fantastic experience at Buffalo Ridge Resort! The food at the Rock Room was exceptional, especially the blackened ribeye and the diverse menu options. The rustic charm of the historical building added a unique touch to my stay. However, while the outdoor activities were great, I wish there had been more family-centric events available during my visit.

I had an absolutely delightful experience at Buffalo Ridge! The bar area had a fresh makeover, and the menu impressed both my meat-loving husband and me, a non-meat eater. The staff was incredibly friendly, which added a special touch to our visit. However, it was a bit tricky to find a good hotel in Gary, South Dakota that offered such high-quality dining, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I had a delightful experience at this resort, with fantastic dining options that truly impressed both my husband and me. The historical charm of the property added a unique touch to our stay, making it feel special. While I thoroughly enjoyed the comfort and cleanliness of our accommodations, I did notice that the rooms could have been a tad larger. Overall, the value for money was exceptional given all the amenities and experiences offered.
