Their Buffalo Gals prime dinner menu prices entrees from $23.99 to $42.99 per person, 15 guest minimum and service staff required, and the ordering policy sets a $150 minimum on any order. A reddit poster mentions being quoted a pricey rate for a small 12-20 person park event with limited menu items, so it is worth confirming cost per head before locking in a smaller guest count.

Menu styles listed are French or Russian plated service, action stations, and passed hors d'oeuvres, and the menus post per person rates, prime dinners from $23.99 to $42.99 a head.
