    Signature Dish

    Doc's Creamy Peach-Filled French Toast
    This is a delicious French toast variation that needs NO syrup of any kind! It's served piping hot with warm peaches. I always include a salty sidedish--bacon, or country ham, for instance. Guests love my French toast. I also serve delicious and piping hot stratas of various kinds, biscuits and sausage gravy, omlettes and fresh fruits, and, sometimes, family style! Come to Buffalo Tavern and let me serve you!

    This was our first stay at Buffalo Tavern. In fact, before 9am that morning, we'd not even heard of it. Found it on the internet. Reserving a room online was a breeze. Terrific price. A bit of a challenge finding it, but as we arrived we were greeted at the door by Doc, who made us feel right at home. Accommodations were great. Breakfast at 9, so we took our time in the am. Spent the day visiting west Jefferson and touring the countryside. Very laid-back ... a great get-away from the big city. We've made this a must-return for the Spring. Thanks, Doc!

    Perfect Cozy Romantic weekend

    We had the most wonderful weekend here right after Thanksgiving. The rooms were so clean and beautiful. We stayed in the Governor's room and absolutely loved it. Doc thought of every little detail and we were totally charmed by the whole experience. Linda cooked an incredible breakfast both mornings...so sweet and accomodating. The town of W. Jefferson was quaint and our options for hiking were unlimited. Thank-you for a wonderful weekend!

    The Buffalo Tavern Bed & Breakfast is a quaint inn secluded in a mountain setting. Doc is a perfect host and you truly feel that the inn is your home away from home. We stayed in the President's suite and found it very roomy with all of the amenities you need.

    Great experience!

    This was my boyfriend and I first time staying at a bed and breakfast, and it was the perfect experience. We absolutely loved it at the Buffalo Tavern. It was a great escape for us to just relax and enjoy one another's company. Doc is probably the sweetest person I know. We felt very welcomed and almost at home by the way Doc treated us. It was nice that Doc took time to get to know us instead of just seeing us as another money transaction. Doc is an excellent, cook and I loved that he took the time to makes us such wonderful breakfast each morning. The whole house is just full of warmth and life and sometime soon my boyfriend and I are going to stay there again. The Buffalo Tavern has set the standards of what a bed and Breakfast should be. I just wanted to also say thank you Doc for everything.
