I like to check this stuff out. My dictionary says that "bison" is
preferred but less common. Bison is a type of buffalo. The word
"buffalo" comes from the Greek and originally meant "water buffalo" from
Asia. In short, in the US, expect bison and buffalo to be the same.

Tommy's Joynt in San Francisco was always known for their buffalo stew.
Never tried it, though.
