Wings are one of my weaknesses, so I'm always on the hunt for the best ones in Jersey. Buffalo's is a local, family-owned business that cooks up Southern-style fried chicken fresh on the premises. In addition to chicken, they serve BBQ ribs, burgers, sandwiches, paninis, and wraps. They also have the classic comfort food sides like mac & cheese and cornbread. The interior is similar to a fast food take-out restaurant, but don't be fooled. They cook everything fresh on the spot using non-processed meat. Even their sauces are produced in small batches based on demand. Trust me, you'll be able to smell all of that deliciousness once you walk in. We were greeted by a friendly employee who gave us some recommendations on wing sauces. We ordered the Wing Sampler (~$22 for 15 pieces), fries (~$5), and cornbread (~$3). For our wings, we were able to choose up to 3 sauces. I was a bit disappointed that they don't offer any dry rubs, only wet marinades... dry rub or bust. We went with the Original Mild House Sauce, Sweet Thai, and Jerk Seasoning. The wings were huge, meaty, and tender! All of the sauces were delicious, but my favorite was the Sweet Thai. The jerk sauce had the right blend of ingredients, giving you that kick of heat and flavor. They went a bit heavier on the breading than what I prefer. I prefer no breading with a crunchy skin. The french fries were crispy. The corn bread was sweet and moist. We would return to try more wing flavors!

Mac and cheese

Wow wow wow! This is a must have. The fried chicken sandwich is outta this world. The chipotle sauce was so good. Had so much flavor. If you are ever in the area you must try this. The service was awesome it seems to be a family establishment they were all so friendly and prompt. There is plenty of seating. Be patient cause the food is made fresh to order! It's worth the trip! Thank you!! I'll be back!

We stopped by for lunch while running some errands in the area. Upon arriving it is street parking so there is either ample parking or you have to search around. Before we even walked in you could smell the freshly fried chicken which smells absolutely amazing and makes you even hungrier. The staff here are extremely friendly and patient. We had no idea what to order so we sat down and looked through the menu. This is definitely a popular takeout spot as we were reading the menu. We ordered alot of food as my boyfriend's eyes are about as large are his stomach! He ordered their crispy chicken sandwich which came out towering and crispy. We ordered a 12 piece of wings and got the honey bbq sauce and spicy Buffalo. I loved the spicy Buffalo sauce. The wings were tender and the meat was moist. They were huge wings so be prepared. We also ordered the Dave's special fries which was good. Just a very very large portion. It definitely could've have way less sauce on the pork so you taste the cheese and fries underneath. I ordered the honey bbq chicken wrap and I ate about half of it there. I removed most of the lettuce and tomatoes and they did not taste ripe or correct t the lettuce had an odd taste to it. But overall the food was good. We paid as we got our takeout containers as it was so much food we could not finish it all. I have to say it was good and not sure I'd come back. More of a you try it once place.

4 piece chicken meal. Delicious!!!
Laura D.

Win!!! Got the order via mobile order/delivery. Been looking for a good comfort food that focused on fried chicken and sides. I really enjoyed my 4 piece meal. I think I would only buy seriously the wing pieces due to its crispiness and flavor. But the real winners were the sides. I think I would surely survive off the Mac & cheese, and flavorful gravy and mashed potato. Food arrived within ample time and arrived hot still. Husband got the waffle, and boneless wings; he enjoyed the waffle more, and my Mac & cheese.

12 piece wings

I've passed by Buffalo's Chicken Shack numerous times and finally tried it one Friday afternoon for takeout, when hubby said he was craving some BBQ. We ordered the half chicken and full slab combo. It comes with a piece of cornbread and two sides. For the sides, we went with the mac and cheese and the corn. The chicken was very smoky (not my cup of tea) and dry (also not my cup of tea). The ribs were okay but I wish all the extra sauce was on the side for dipping instead of having the ribs drenched. The mac and cheese wasn't bad. The corn was almost inedible. They were just overboiled frozen corn kernels with a ton of artificial-tasting butter. We also ordered the 12-piece wings, which allows you to choose two sauces. We got the lemon pepper and spicy garlic parmesan. The sauces were pretty good but the wings were SO oily. I knew it wasn't a healthy meal but we felt gross after the meal. We were always intrigued by the sign outside that advertised 50 cent wings on Wednesdays. (which by the way, they still have the sign outside but when you go inside, there's another sign that says they are pausing wing night for the time being. Kind of shady). But now that we've tried the food, we don't think we'll be back for Wing Wednesday. Or any other day.

Waiting for my food.

This place is an absolute must go to if you're craving wings or old fashioned fried chicken. Everything is made fresh on premises. The chicken has that perfectly crispy skin with perfectly cooked, juicy meat. They don't just stop at chicken. Their mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese, corn bread, are all absolutely phenomenal! Everyone inside was extremely nice and helpful, even considering that I was picking up near closing and we all know at that point, we're all tired. Not these guys and gals... They were going strong. You can also eat in. Very casual inside and clean. Parking consists of street parking only by I've never had an issue finding a spot. My only regret was that I thought I already reviewed this place and I didn't... So no pictures of the actual food.

Crispy Chicken Sandwich
Frisca F.

We've been coming here regularly, and the food is always delicious and consistently great. We tend to order the same things each time, their pulled pork quesadillas, buffalo chicken nachos, crispy chicken sandwich, and fried chicken and each meal never disappoints. Sometimes the food takes longer to make, but perfection takes time. The staff is very nice and super friendly, and because we're regulars, they recognize us by name. There is parking available, and it's located on a busy main street. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area.

You would never think a place that looks like a pizza place sells such delicious food. The wings were ginormous. They were crispy and seasoned to perfection. However, the sauce was a little overwhelming and if left on too long made the wings a little soggy. Nonetheless, does not take away from the satisfaction of your happy tastebuds. The waffle was a little overdone and hard. The staff were very nice.

Cornbread with butter
Jane C.

I highly recommend this place, especially if you are craving buffalo wings -- although they do have a lot of other things on the menu. The restaurant itself is nothing special in terms of appearance, but don't judge a book by its cover. They clearly care about their customers and the quality of their food. At the end of the day, that's really all that matters! One day, I had an intense craving for classic buffalo wings. Of course, I'm a fan of other flavors like garlic parm. But nothing beats good ol' buffalo. (They call it Original here, fyi). So, I got the Original Mild wings and a side of cornbread (because other Yelpers kept saying to try the cornbread). The wings were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. So perfectly fried, not dry at all. The cornbread was dense and warm and soft. Ask for butter on top. I'm glad I listened to other reviews! Also, let's talk about the size of the wings. No cheap tiny little wings here. There was a good mix of drums and flats (although I'm a flats girl through and through). I came in really hungry but was super full by the time I finished all of my food. I really recommend eating at the restaurant instead of ordering takeout, because the sauce will inevitably make the wings soggy eventually. But if you eat it fresh, it's so delicious and doesn't get soggy for a while (assuming you don't take an hour to eat your food). 10/10 would recommend! I will be back to try other wing flavors!

Would try this again without a doubt. I also tried the Beef Rib Ragu pasta dish on their regular menu which was amazing as well. Looking forward to trying other items here on the menu.

The only thing they responded to was the bell coming from the kitchen. The menu was enticing. Lot of good things on it including the daily specials. I ordered the Arincini which was beautifully presented but were only mildly warmish with some cold spots mixed in. Disappointing. For entree I ordered the spaghetti alla carbonara. It was once again not served hot but was somewhat warmer than the arinicini but not by much. They could step up their game and brew their own ice tea instead of serving bottled ice tea. It's pretty easy to make ice teas with various flavors. Was a cute place, tables a little close together but was clean, nice lighting and decor. As a customer I would have expected more attention to our glasses, check on how the food was occasionally.

As soon as i walked in i was greeted by someone at the counter, seems like the owner or manager, he was incredibly welcoming and friendly. My server was sweet too and paid attention. although i was pleased with my meal, i think i made the wrong choice by getting what i did. i now realize i need to come back and get actual breakfast items because that seems to be the star of the show. however, the lunch specials are a great deal and i was on a bit of a budget. grilled cheese is incredibly simple and nothing to talk about. maybe they can add the option of 2 cheeses maybe add caramelized onions? it was just white bread with 1 slice of cheddar. it hit the spot and was melted fine, but really nothing exciting. the lunch special came with a soup and there were 3 choices this day. the onion soup was absolutely amazing. it was sweet and salty, and veggie friendly! i would get this again. fries were nothing special either. probably could have been cooked more. rice pudding was okay. i think it needed more sweetness or seasoning but it was a nice touch at the end of the meal. ps, all for $14? what a good deal.

We're so glad we did, because this hole in the wall turned out to be a diamond in the rough. With a nondescript exterior and limited signage, Foodies Diner is easy to miss. It's in an area with mainly houses and mixed use commercial buildings, but the space inside is cozy. I especially appreciated the way the owner greeted everyone who enters and thanked everyone who leaves with notable warmth and small-town friendliness. The menu reads like a true diner - with all-day breakfast and brunch options, as well as standard lunch fare. We ordered a Santa Fe salad and an L.A. burger - which comes with avocado, bacon, onion, lettuce, and tomatoes. The burger was pretty standard, but having it delivered on a warm brioche bun feels a little bit special. The accompanying fries were also great - crisp and potatoey on the inside. The salad, on the other hand, was a near triumph. Served on a large platter, there was a small field of well-seasoned chicken, shredded cheddar, vegetables, avocado, pico de gallo, and - best yet - some pieces of warm, toasted pita. I even sprinkled some pieces of bacon from my burger into this salad, and wow did that take it over the top. I dug into this salad with fair gusto and would absolutely come back for it...which is saying something, since I wouldn't expect to fall in love with a salad at a diner. Service was fantastic, and we were pleased with how reasonably priced our meal turned out to be. There's plenty of parking - either right out front or in the lot further back.

If I absolutely had to choose a favorite, I'd give the edge to the GoodFella, but it's really more of a 1A/1B situation. You can't go wrong with either! For an appetizer, we split the mozzarella sticks, and they were fantastic--crispy, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a great starter. Perfect sized app for at least 2 people... and fresh dipping sauce served right on the plate. For dinner, we both ordered the Hawaiian Marinated Steak, and I truly can't say enough about it. It was incredible: packed with flavor, cooked perfectly, juicy, and finished with butter on top that was the perfect touch. It was one of those dishes where every bite makes you slow down and appreciate how good it is. It was definitely a lot of food for one person, but I skipped lunch, so I indulged. The steak was the star of the plate, but it paired perfectly with the loaded baked potato and green vegetable. A huge shoutout to our waitress, Iris, who was incredible throughout the meal. To top everything off, she brought us a taste of her favorite dessert. I'm not entirely sure of the official name, but I'd compare it to a warm bread pudding with homemade ice cream and house-made caramel sauce. Absolutely delicious and a perfect ending to an already excellent meal. Great drinks, great food, excellent service, and an overall memorable experience. The Ridge House is an easy 5 out of 5.
