I have tried buffalo burgers a few times. The first time I ate a buffalo
burger was a community fair where one of the food vendors was the
operator of a farm that raises buffalo. This people at that food stand
were selling buffalo meat hamburgers and sausages. I tried a hamburger.
It was okay, but I prefer the flavor of a regular hamburger more, and
the price for buffalo burgers is quite a bit higher than regular
burgers. I also bought some buffalo steaks once and they too were okay.
In fact, I think its safe to say that cow's meat is more gamey than
buffalo meat.

The big benefit for me of buffalo meat is that its less fatty, which is
probably also why I prefer the flavor of meat from a cow more. Until you
mentioned it, I had forgotten about buffalo meat, but since I am trying
to lose weight, I think I am going to buy some the next time I go
shopping. I am ten pounds from my goal in Weight Watchers and I have
been at that point for the past few weeks, so maybe if I add some
buffalo meat to my menu and take out something fattening, it will help
me get to my weight loss goal.
