Chicken and waffles at Buffalo Grille

THE ADAIR FAMILY is no stranger to longstanding, family-run restaurants. Run by siblings Nick Adair and Katie Barnhart, the Adair Concepts umbrella includes Skeeter's Mesquite Grille and Los Tios, plus a number of unique concepts like Adair Kitchen, Bebidas and Eloise Nichols. And now, the beloved breakfast destination Buffalo Grille, with locations in West U and on Voss, is part of the hospitality group.


For 40 years, Buffalo Grille has been a neighborhood go-to for breakfast; its patrons are loyal, celebrating milestones and casual Sunday brunch with delicious pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and huevos rancheros. “We want Buffalo Grille to continue as it was; as it is — classic neighborhood spots, each with its own unique history and habits," said Nick in a statement. "Those are the things we want to preserve as we go forward."

Adair Concepts plans to upgrade menu items with provisions such as organic eggs and fresh-squeezed orange juice, but there are no plans for an overhaul. “There is a cherished legacy here and that’s not changing," adds Katie.

However, the West U location — Buffalo Grille's original, which the Adair siblings frequented as kiddos — will soon also be home to an Adair Concepts bakery, which will provide buns and pastries for both Grilles, and also for other Adair restaurants.

As Adair Concepts expands — a third outpost of Adair Kitchen will open in San Antonio later this year — the siblings' dedication to preserving neighborhood charm and family-friendly environs will surely continue to pay off. “It’s more than a dining staple,” says Katie of Buffalo Grille. “It has an important place in the rituals of the neighborhood.”
