The Buffalo Jump

Best tofu sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. The tofu is so fluffy and marinated, the focaccia came out piping hot, and the pickles provide perfect acidity. This is hands down the best lunch spot in the Cape and a true gem.

Laura catered our wedding at the Coonamesset Farm and prepared one of the most ridiculously delicious meals that we and our guests have ever had at a wedding. Laura is an artist when it comes to her food concepts and the execution was flawless. One of the main dishes was tenderloin and every single piece was cooked to near perfection. I can’t say enough about what an amazing dinner she created - not to mention the creative appetizers like onion-ricotta-truffle tartlets and mushroom crostini. We had a large group of vegetarians and they equally loved the food, the vegetarian lasagna with béchamel sauce was incredible. Buffalo Jump and Coonamesset Farm’s Jamaican night (also Laura’s recipes) will be an annual tradition for us. We can’t thank her enough.

We came for breakfast and were the first ones there. The sun lit up the fields like a Rowena cover on a fantasy novel. We could hear the chickens and ducks while ordering our meals. I had the special omelette - "last night's potato salad omelette". It was a religious experience. (Picture included). Do yourself a favor and stop for breakfast. (Dinners are special and you have to reserve far in advance but b-fast is for walk-ins. Take advantage of that to try this wonderful kitchen. )🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I can't recommend The Buffalo Jump enough! I came in for brunch (which is also BYOB) and enjoyed the quahog stuffed benedict (pictured) and some nitro brew coffee which was AMAZING and didn't need anything added to it. I love going to Jamaican Night at the farm, and this will be another great reason to visit! Laura and Brandon are doing something amazing here, and I can't wait to come back for dinner!

Wow! Amazing atmosphere. We ate our sandwiches in the patio area and it was lovely. Healthy wholesome homemade food. Def. Going back

The Buffalo Jump catered our wedding at Coonamessett Farm in June of this year and the entire experience was outstanding. Laura was very easy to work with as we planned our menu and the food was above and beyond what we were hoping for. We would highly recommend them!

We were in the area visiting family and we were recommended here for breakfast. The food is as fresh as it gets. Being on location of Coonamessett farm, they locally and sustainably source their ingredients, making the food truly farm to table. The food was delicious, flavorful and fresh. We will most certainly be visiting again next time we are in the area!

The food is nice but what’s with all the plastic waste? Even for eating at the farm, the food is brought out in huge plastic boxes, and there’s no recycling on site. Why not switch to paper boxes? It doesn’t really seem compatible with a local farm promoting sustainability. I would come here more if I could skip the plastic

I cannot express how wonderful and delicious this experience is, in words. Cape Cods best kept secret.

I've never been blown away by a breakfast sandwich until I had one here. Worth the elusive hours

"Buffalo Soldier"- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMUQMSXLlHM Buffalo Jump is very much farm-to-table, dining at Coonmaessett Farm. There are farm-to-table restaurants in urban areas like the Bay Area and PDX, but the Buffalo Jump has views of alpacas, chicken coops, blueberry and strawberry fields. Even before COVID, Buffalo Jump was offering takeout dinners. Now they offer takeout lunches as well. They have ample outdoor patio dining and sanitizer. Now, Buffalo Jump has pivoted mainly to its underrated strengths- breakfast and lunch. They offer adventurous meals like Caribbean bean stew with plantains, tomatoes and rice, as well as bison mole (as in the spicy Mexican chocolate sauce, not the mammal) omelette. The Buffalo Jump's owners are adventurous- https://www.foodandwine.com/travel/restaurant-road-trip-baltzley-goes-west They have their signature stuffed quahog Benedict with Bloody Mary hollandaise and a perfectly poached egg. The hollandaise is kicky. There is Beanstock coffee out of Eastham, perfect for waking up. Their Quebec is French toast topped with wild blueberries and sausage. It is swathed in New England maple syrup. Their Vadouvan curry with tofu and grilled pineapple is a perfect blend of sweet and spicy. A delicious adventure!

Lunch offerings at Coonamessett Farm this weekend were a celebration of the nightshades: eggplant, potato, tomato, pepper. An unbalanced menu. Missing were lighter and more diverse fare. The heavy-bellied menu focused on chicken parmesan, eggplant parmesan, beef meatballs, rotini&red sauce, ratatouille, and roasted potatoes. Nothing looked like the multi-colored, veggie-heavy fare in the banner at the top of this Yelp page. Ugh.

Literally the best restaurant on Earth. I've had countless incredible meals at the Jump - from breakfast to lunch and dinner, I've never had a bad meal nor have I ever eaten anything there that I can get elsewhere. They are the most inventive team serving things I would never even imagine and every single one of them is delicious beyond the last. The hospitality, the environment, the farm, the people - all the best you can imagine. I've eaten 16 course dinners and something as simple as a biscuit sandwich at the Jump and have been bowled over by them all. Run, don't walk to this hidden gem and experience food the way it should be - exciting, flavorful, beautiful, nutritious, local - simply the best!

11 course tasting menu on a Sunday evening. 9 of the courses were above 5 stars - inventive, beautiful, perfect flavor balance, just awesome. 2 courses were still really good but had room for improvement - temperature mostly. The bison tartare was definitely my favorite dish, but it's a tie for second between the roasted tomatoes with chicken fat mayo, the beet dish and the marshmallow dessert. I also love that it is BYOB as well as the relaxed atmosphere of the dining room (serve yourself silverware) Why I took away 1 star: -The courses came far too quickly. It took under 2.5 hours to get through the 11 courses. -The waitress had a hard time pronouncing and then explaining the ingredients of each dish. I feel like you do the tasting bc you are interested in what you're eating but without a written menu, I was lost on a couple dishes about what I was in it.

Dinner at The Buffalo Jump is more a journey than a meal; an epic quest akin to Homer's Odyssey. Of course, if I structure this review around The Odyssey, I would be remiss to neglect the literary connection to Joyce's Ulysses. And by invoking Ulysses, we must dip our toes into Shakespeare's Hamlet as well. Luckily, and for brevity's sake, there is a body of work that unites all of these classics. At this point I need not remind the reader that I am speaking, of course, of the discography of the seminal Florida-based death metal band Death. Their catalogue, both deep and wide, contains multitudes, and can perfectly describe our meal in order of appearance on our table: Gazpacho: Symbolic, from Symbolic (1995) As the title track and first song on the album, it's gotta be good, and neither the gazpacho nor the song disappoints. Plus, it's called "Symbolic", so it's symbolic that I picked it for the first dish as well. Or maybe it's a metaphor...or ironic? Or maybe a coincidence...the point is I liked the gazpacho - the tomatoes were fresh (and peeled? Interesting choice); the scallops were soft with a hint of the sea, and the whole dish had a nice smoky flavor. Great start. Watermelon Tart: The First Cut is the Deepest, written by Cat Stevens, performed by Rod Stewart on A Night on the Town (1976). Ok so I know it's early to diverge from the theme, but I didn't really like this dish, and because Death never wrote a bad song, I had to look elsewhere for a musical representation, and since I hate Rod Stewart the most, here we are talking about his especially terrible "The First Cut is the Deepest". While it's admirable to put crickets in things, in this case they were a little overpowering: there was only one bite where I could taste the sheep's cheese, which could have been featured more prominently. This might work better as an amuse bouche; one bite is probably enough to get the idea here, which is maybe even more than Rod Stewart deserves. Nightshades: Bite the Pain, from Sound of Perseverance (1998) "LOOK DOWN, AT THE, EGGPLAAAAAANNNT!!!!". Bite the Pain is my favorite Death song, and Biting the Eggplant and Jimmy Nardello Peppers and Husk Cherry Salsa is my favorite thing to do at The Buffalo Jump. Never in all my days have I tasted eggplant that tender and juicy. And the peppers! My God, those sweet and crunchy peppers! It was simple, beautiful, and delicious. Movin to the Country and We're Going to Eat a lot of Peaches: Flesh and the Power it Holds, from Sound of Perseverance (1998) Veal sweetbreads and foie gras pate with a peach and guanciale sauce. Chuck said it best in his objectively perfect song: "Touch, taste, breathe, consumed...behold the flesh and the power it holds." Lobster Stew: Cosmic Sea, from Human (1991) Cosmic Sea is a divisive song: half of Death's fans think it's deep and brilliant and shows off their prog chops, while the other half just wants them to cut that crap out and go back to "Scream Bloody Gore". So too with the lobster stew; I found a lot of warm and salty comfort in it, while my meal (and life) partner thought it was a little boring. Oh well, can't please everyone! Wood Grilled Bison: Spirit Crusher, from Sound of Perseverance (1998) Whatever disagreements we had about the stew were quickly forgotten when the wood grilled bison arrived. Even the most hardcore fans of early Death had to admit that Sound of Perseverance, and its pinnacle, Spirit Crusher, were metal as balls. This one actually can please everyone: rich bison grilled to perfection, bright tart beach plums, and sunchokes that were worth the farts that followed. Pig's Blood Pie: Regurgitated Guts, from Scream Bloody Gore (1987). I had never eaten pig's blood pie before, so I didn't know what to expect. But much like Regurgitated Guts from Death's first album, this one sounds a little cooler than it actually is. The PBP was spiced like a pumpkin pie; really only a hint of blood. Nice with the sliced apples though! Sweet Potato Casserole: Pull the Plug, from Leprosy (1988) Sweet potato casserole: part tuber, part marshmallow, all nostalgia. Pull the Plug is a great song, everyone likes it, but there's no denying that it's less polished than Death's later work. This dessert suffered from the same fate: all the parts were there, but they didn't come together well. The earl grey ice cream was a stand out, but there was too much sweet potato, and it was pretty burnt. When the Buffalo Jump is good, it's amazeballs, and even when it misses the mark, it's at least interesting. A couple small gripes: the dishes could be spread out a bit more, we finished our 8 courses in 1.5 hours which felt fast. We were also insanely stuffed by the end. We wouldn't have minded if some of the dishes (tart, stew) were smaller, and the desserts were lighter. Regardless, Buffalo Jump is really special and we will definitely be back. PS the farm has alpacas they are awesome.

I just returned home from having the most delicious brunch at The Buffalo Jump. Each dish was inventive and flavorful, highlighting the seasonal fruits and vegetables from the farm. It was easily the best brunch I've had on the cape, and among the best meals I've had here as well. My boyfriend and I shared the sheep's milk yogurt, pancakes with blueberry preserve and brittle, and rice bowl with celery root and mushroom pâté. Everything was so delicious, I found myself wishing I could try everything from my the menu. Service was great, and the atmosphere with views of the beautiful farm can't be beat. Looking forward to returning for a tasting dinner!

Very fun and creative farm-to-table style resraurant. Great intimate atmosphere (10 people served in the room the night we went, plus a chefs table downstairs), with surprising and well-presented dishes. Some of the 11 courses were absolutely delicious, and always beautiful and creative, even if some were more successful than others. The service was professional, warm and friendly. The farm tour beforehand was an excellent orientation and made the visit extra special. We enjoyed our visit and meal immensely. It exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for something fresh and innovative for a fine dining experience, it would be hard to find something fresher and more innovative than this. Wow!

During the pandemic Buffalo Jump went to a takeout menu for lunch, making a sandwich for the weekends. Had the Cuban sandwich today and wow! It's the best I ever had.

Our second experience was even better than the first. Adventurous, unique combinations, and tastes I didn't even know existed. If you love food you have to get yourself to the cape, and give this place a try.

The Buffalo Jump astonished me as soon as I got out of my car. It is located on a farm(coonamessett farm) where they grow vegetables and have small farm animals. My significant other and I were warmly welcomed by Laura one of the chefs. I'd never been to a pop up restraunt before, however Laura was nice enough to thoroughly explain the concept. The Buffalo Jump seems to take pride in all they do each service. It is opened Monday, Tues, and Wendesday, they have 2 seating each night, 5:00/7:30. You enjoy your food while looking out at the rows and rows vegetables growing throughout the farm. They're are only 15 people served at each seating, it is very quaint. I was amazed at the music choice truly it was great. Laura Chef Brandon Baltzy are so passionate about what they're doing with The Buffalo Jump, their creations live up to their reputation of being a geniuses in the kitchen. Oh it is BYOB, they will provide you a bucket to keep whine chilled while you eat. I'd recommend The Buffalo Jump to anyone.

Went for breakfast when visiting from Chicago and was honestly one the best meal we had all weekend. Creative takes on breakfast foods that were all delicious. Quahog Benedict is worth the trip alone. We grabbed some baked goods to go that were also great. Farm was beautiful, with a few animals and gardens, plus kids menu makes it a nice family trip for the morning.

The Buffalo Jump catered our wedding at Coonamessett Farm in June of this year and the entire experience was outstanding. Laura was very easy to work with as we planned our menu and the food was above and beyond what we were hoping for. We would highly recommend them!

I love the concept of a pop-up restaurant on the farm. Coonamesssett farm is a lovely venue, but the food not so lovely. It was pretentious, overwrought and really underwhelming. Don't get me wrong, it's commendable to be innovative and creative and that jazz, but at the end of the day, the food needs to be delicious and it just wasn't. There was something very immature about the food. I pictured some recent culinary grads trying way too hard to be cool and different. I really think someday these chefs are going to look back and really scratch their heads and say ' I can't believe we made that crap and that people paid $75 for it'. The music playlists (which they claim on the web site are supposed to underscore the dining experience) was really odd. I don't mind listening to rap and hip hop, but I don't think it provided quite the intended ambiance. It was an interesting experience, but I think I would have rather pass on the live snails, crickets and go to the Friday night Jamaican buffet at the farm.
