Bison and buffalo are grazers, thus they primarily eat grasses wherever they can find, depending on what species you are referring to and where they live:

The North American Bison (also called a buffalo) subsist primarily on prairie grasses or grasses that grow in the woods (especially for those Woods Bison that live in Wood Buffalo and Prince Albert National Parks in Alberta and Saskatchewan, respectively. Wood bison can also eat leaves off of trees if they can reach them, but prefer to eat grass instead. Bison that are raised on ranches are also fed grain or alfalfa pellets or cubes as a treat, and given hay during those winters where they cannot dig for grasses or there are not enough pasture for them to eat from during the winter months.

African Cape Buffalo are also grazers like their North American cousins, and will eat grasses and tender shoots found both on the African Savannah and wading in water holes, rivers and streams, respectively. Asian Water Buffalo graze and browse on grasses, tender shoots and other plants that grow in and around streams, ponds and water holes where they like to live and freely roam.
