beef on weck
Dalton L.

Great beer seleciton to pair with the renowned wings. Spice level did not disappoint. Hot was actually HOT. Beef on Weck being served in different sizes came in clutch for getting to have that PLUS the notable wings. Friendly staff and lively crowd, this is the perfect spot.

WOW!!! Amazing!! Bar Bill = Weck & Wings Heaven! Beef on Weck was legendary, wings were crispy perfection, and the Labatt's kept it classic Buffalo. Bar Bill - East Aurora, NY When Josh Allen, QB of the Buffalo Bills, calls this one of his favorite wing spots, you've got to check it out. So fresh off the plane and with rental car in hand, my brother and I made Bar Bill our very first stop. It's a small, cozy place with a line out the door, but since it was still a workday we lucked out with two bar seats. Cold Labatt's in hand, we got down to business. The Beef on Weck - absolutely phenomenal. The Kaiser roll was soft with just the right balance of salt and caraway seeds. The beef was perfectly seasoned and cooked, tender with every bite. Add in chips, a pickle, and a dip into that rich au jus, and you're already in food heaven. I kicked it up a notch with horseradish, and that pushed it completely over the top. The Wings - we went for 10. I wanted hot, but the bartender (pro tip: always listen to the locals) suggested Medium Hot since it was our first time. My brother switched us down to Medium, so that's what landed. Crispy, saucy, and flavorful--but next time I'd definitely go Medium Hot to get that extra kick. Served with blue cheese, though honestly, theirs didn't quite hit the mark for me. We finished with another round of Labatt's before heading to the hotel, fully satisfied. Bottom line: Bar Bill is a must. The Beef on Weck is legendary and lives up to the hype, and the wings are absolutely worth it--just pick your heat level wisely. My tip? Start with Medium Hot, then work your way up. . . . or down.

Beef On Weck
Marla C.

When asking where we should go to try wings in Buffalo this was the #1. We got 10 wings and got the Cajun honey butter bbq. This isn't a flavor I would normally get but I really liked it. We were also told to try the beef on weck while there. It was good but I liked the wings better. It lacked flavor the horseradish sauce was a must with it. We sat in the bar area. We got seated immediately but we were there around 2pm. The restaurant was definitely busy though. I would go back!!

Honey BBQ Cajun Chicken Wings

The best wings in Buffalo and the place I bring all my out of town friends. Specifically the Honey BBQ Cajun with extra blue. I relocated out of the area, but have friends ship me the BBQ sauce and Cajun seasoning so I can relive the magic (sort of) while away.

Wings, beef on weck, pizza logs.

So we brought some out of town friends (7 of us) here because of the positive out of town feed back that usually surrounds Bar Bill. I mean wings are wings in Buffalo, right? Beef on weck, pizza logs, c'mon. Bar Bill is truly a stand alone establishment! The wings (three kinds all extra crispy) were spectacular! The beef on weck cut at its beef counter behind the bar, perfectly cooked! Pizza logs always a delight. Our guest from Spain said, "now I understand what all the fuss is about for Buffalo wings!" She cdn't get enough. The service was outstanding in a jammed restaurant! Keep living up to the hype, Bar Bill! Legendary status !!!

In town for the Eagles game had the opportunity to take some friends and had a wonderful experience. We sat at the bar and met Molly and Laurie (who was in the Hallmark Movie!!) and had a wonderful lunch before the game - the Honey Butter BBQ Cajun were the BEST wings ever! Also shared a Beef on Weck - yum. Wonderful food and service but be prepared to wait. On game day we arrived at 1045 and they opened at 1130 and we got right in! Also ordered to go wings online to take to our tailgate and they were a big hit!

Be ready for a crazy wait but it's well worth it! It's got a dive bar feel, the tables are close, but it's a cool vibe. Service was great, our waiter was able to recommend us some good options. The beef on weck was great. Highly recommend getting that and the wings for the full experience. The wings were great, perfectly fried, perfect size. Any of the save options are great, but the Cajun Honey Butter BBQ are a stand out. Can't go wrong with classic medium though.

Best Chicken Wings are right here. Big meaty saucy wings come divided on the plate evenly set with Drums and Flats. Not a lot of seating space but people will waitlist happily. Outdoor waiting space on sidewalk which feels like it's own area. A complete separate space on sidewalk between businesses that is a Party and Hangout space to pass the wait. Very Chill and welcoming. Sat at bar and local brew on tap. This is the BEST of the Buffalo Region!

Always a fav when I'm in Buffalo NY. They make such wings and pizza. I love it here. The service is good and always on time when they say. I recommend this place.

5 medium and 5 Cajun hot honey bbq wings
Alexis C.

The best of what it's trying to do you will find anywhere. Certainly not fine dining, but the most delicious and tender and plentiful wings I have ever had. Tons of good meat, delicious sauces, just so so good. I got the medium, which had a good kick like Frank's but not too spicy, and Cajun hot honey bbq which was AMAZING. We also got the cheese curds which were very good, beef on weck sandwich which one of my party enjoyed and thought the meat was very flavorful. We also ordered the waffle fries and the beer battered fries, both very good! The blue cheese dressing was also very tasty coming from someone who doesn't typically love blue cheese. Service was solid, typical bar service. Classic dive bar feel inside but very fun ambiance if that's what you're looking for.

Wings and pizza
Denise D.

Wings were outstanding! My favorite was the Cajun. Then hot and finally lemon pepper. The wings were crispy and just the right size. They had pizza which was fine, but I came for wings. We had wings at another place, but they just didn't have the same flavor as these. Tried beef on weck for the first time. It also was huge and I guess a Northern specialty. While it was flavorful, I need a little something more to give it a little pizzazz. Those at the table who love plain food adored it. Enjoyed the dive type atmosphere. The place was hoppin' busy so plan to wait a bit! Fun time.

This is the OG for a reason! Wait if you have to but this is the Mecca for Bills fans. The Beef on Weck is out of this world. The wing are phenomenal but don't be cocky. Buffalo sauces are at least two degrees warmer. This is THE bar.

Beef on Weck with chips
Richard P.

We met some friends here at @ 2:00 on a Saturday afternoon in May. There was a short wait for a table. My wife and I ordered 20 wings to share, and she also got a beef on weck sandwich with chips. Our friends, who live in East Aurora were surprised the wait was so short. I guess this place is popular, no matter the time of day. The wings were arranged on the platter by type, which is a nice touch. They were also well-sauced, which is a plus for me. The food was all very good. One of our companions ordered a pint of Guiness, which came with a Bill's logo on the foam which was very cool. Our server was friendly and competent. I can see why this place has such a good reputation.

Very nice girls and we had a party of 6 to accommodate and everything was perfect! For the food, I ordered deviled eggs which were just the perfect egg yolk to mayo ratio. Not overpowering and had great seasonings. The burger was clearly the star of the meal. Lots of options to choose from - bbq, mushroom, black bean, etc. I would like to come back to try more. They also had a fun cocktail menu. I didn't try them but people in my party did and they were very fun and colorful!

The sign on the door said they open at noon. So we settled into a park bench at the corner and watched people strolling in the sunshine until they open the doors. One very energetic waitress was covering all three rooms. She was quick to apologize for any delay. My iced tea came up very rapidly, and I took a few minutes to look over the entire menu. Despite all the enticing mini items, I ordered what I had been craving: the beer battered fish fry with all the sides. It did not disappoint. I have had a fish fry or two in my life, and I'm not gonna argue with anyone. Wallenwein's is my new favorite fish fry. There's plenty of food to choose from. Salads, soups, sandwiches, and wraps, pizzas, and wings. Everything that we have tried has been absolutely delicious! I love the primitive antique vibe going on in this 19th century historically accurate tavern.

It was good but I'm a Chicagoan so I have to say I prefer the Italian beef sandwiches over this. Beef on weck is more of a sliced beef served on a salted kimmelweck roll which has salt and caraway seeds and prepared horseradish on the side. Yes it was good and I'd probably get it again but if you grew up around here, it's a local fave. The place is like old rustic and had a nice vibe to it. Great service too!
