★★★★★ 5.0 Eric Decker · Dec 2025

Been eating at Bluffington's since I was a kid and this is my favorite spot in LB/LF. There aren't many down to earth spots for food in this area, but this fits the bill. Bluffington's is my go-to when I just want a normal meal that I feel is a good value. Can't beat the atmosphere here and the staff are always very friendly. Love being able to sit outside in the summer and the Chicken Melt always hits the spot. Underrated is the breakfast and cheap coffee.

In between my shift I stopped here for something to eat. I ordered the special of the day, which happened to be a gyro. The woman at the counter was very patient with me as I glanced through the menu, and made me feel welcome. The server was also very great! I didnt catch their names this time, but I know I'll be back again to try something else!

From the minute you walk in you know you made a great decision. The neighborhood vibe was bustling with laughter and chatter. I had take out and the service was fantastic. I asked for a recommendation as this was my first visit and was floored. Was told to go with the chicken cranberry wrap with a side of potato salad. All kidding a side, the wrap is a top 3 anyway I have ever been. Super fresh, light and tasty. Will be back very soon

Bluffington's is a small family oriented and a very friendly restaurant. The staffs/owners were absolutely friendly and very polite. The sandwiches were amazing, tasty and served with huge portions. The atmosphere was very welcoming, cozy and almost hole in the wall kind of setting yet located in a town square. I ordered philly steak and I almost didnt finish it with just how much they gave me. My friends had blue cheese buffalo chicken and a Reuben's sandwich which to their comments were really good and flavorful especially the buffalo chicken. The lady owner was so friendly and helpful with all of our needs and constantly checking with us and suggested really good desserts. Owner even gave us free chocolate chip cookies!
