buffalo-philsThe Main Street Bistro website has a great deal on gift certificates for Buffalo Phil’s Pizza and Grille in Wisconsin Dells.  For $25, you can get 2 – $25 gift certificates for Buffalo Phil’s.  The gift certificates are good until next June, so you’ll have plenty of time to use them.  Also, you can use more than one gift certificate at a time and you can use the gift certificates towards alcohol purchases.

During our last trip to the Dells, we tried Buffalo Phil’s for the first time.  The interior of the restaurant is beautiful.  It has a northwoods hunting lodge theme with with massive full log beams and rafters.  If the architecture of Buffalo Phil’s reminds you of Moosejaw Pizza & Dells Brewing Co. or Great Wolf Lodge, it is for good reason.  All three properties were developed by the Waterman family (who opened Noah’s Ark in the 1970′s).  The food at Buffalo Phil’s is a little expensive, but very good.  The kids enjoyed the children’s menu, which doubles as a buffalo mask.  After dinner at Buffalo Phil’s, Knucklehead’s Bowling & Indoor Amusement Park is right next door for some additional family fun.  Knucklehead’s is actually located in the same building as Buffalo Phil’s.

More information about Buffalo Phil’s can be found on their website.
