About the salted bison

Two friends, one food truck, and a whole lot of pretzels.

Why We roll

The Salted Bison was born out of a love for Buffalo and the joy of gathering around good food. We wanted to create something that feels at home at a Bills tailgate, a wedding, or a street fair—pretzels that are more than a snack. Our mission is simple: serve warm, hand-rolled pretzels with unforgettable flavor, and create moments people want to come back for again and again.

The second character is a man in a blue jersey with the number 24, wearing a chef's hat, grilling hamburgers on a barbecue grill. The third character is a man wearing a sombrero, sunglasses, and a blue and white tribal costume, standing alongside a young man in a white jersey with the number 33, both smiling and posing for a photo.

MEET THE FOOD TRUCK

Our truck is more than a rolling kitchen—it’s a canvas for Buffalo pride. On the side, you’ll find a massive Where’s Waldo–style mural that doubles as a love letter to the Bills Mafia. It captures the energy of a true Buffalo tailgate, packed with fans, food, and fun. Look closely and you’ll spot legendary Bills superfans, hidden Easter eggs, and plenty of Buffalo-themed surprises woven throughout the scene. Just like our pretzels, it’s bold, playful, and built to celebrate the spirit of Buffalo. When you see The Salted Bison truck, you’re not just getting food — you’re stepping into a piece of hometown culture.

Pretzels, The Buffalo Way

At The Salted Bison, pretzels aren’t just twisted dough—they’re hand-crafted, chewy perfection with a Buffalo twist. Each one is rolled fresh, baked golden brown, and served with dips and drinks that bring out the best in every bite. From classic salted to bold flavors like cinnamon sugar or loaded savory creations, our pretzels are built to satisfy. They’re hearty, shareable, and always served with the kind of flair you can only get from Buffalo.
