Buffalo nickel is a unique and fun place to visit. The people there are friendly and caring people. I was there the Saturday. . The ring got lost and it was very Busy that day. The people looking for the ring took up the whole aisle and wouldn’t let people through. I understand they lost something, But it was not time to be looking for it with as many people that were there. I would highly recommend this place. It is fun. They have great music and you won’t be disappointed if you go.
Thank you so much Cathy, we appreciate your 5 star review and another persons perspective of what went on the Saturday with the lost ring. Please come see us again soon.

There are tons of antiques and vintage items. I was almost afraid I'd get lost in there. I didn't find anything I couldn't live without, but my girlfriend found a few things.
Thank you so much Dow for the 5 star rating. We sure appreciate your taking the time to give us this review. Enjoy your day.
Sophia Maslow
Lots of awesome finds. Make sure you have plenty of time when you stop, there is lots to look at. Has the prices of antique stores and not thrift stores, so expect stuff to be a little more pricey. Definitely recommend taking the time to stop
THANK YOU so much Sophia - come back and visit us again soon.
