The Lone Buffalo

Every Tangled Roots restaurant has a distinctive local character, inspired by the history of the town and its community. Just 60 miles west of Lockport, where the Fox River runs into the Illinois River, is the historic town of Ottawa, the scenic entrance to Starved Rock State Park. Ottawa is home to The Lone Buffalo, Tangled Root’s first restaurant and the home of their original craft brewery. It’s also home to their hops and barley farm, whose crop they use to create their authentic Farm to Foam beers. At the heart of the Lone Buffalo are the large twin copper brewing kettles, imported from Bavaria, and admired and enjoyed by fans far and wide.
