Ordered 15 wings... 5 were jerk, 5 were mild Buffalo and the last 5 were bbq. Jerk had a nice kick to them. Mild buffalo were awesome. And bbq was just ok. The wings themselves are big and tasty. Perfectly cooked. Looking forward to ordering again read more

Buffalo's Chicken Shack - 15 wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Wood-Ridge, New Jersey

Small place with approx 8-10 tables to "dine-in". Street parking. Very casual...It's a "chicken shack" what do you expect? Service is friendly. Probably everyone in my family's favorite place for wings. Huge pieces with a large choice of seasoning rubs or sauces. BBQ'd ribs are so tasty & fall off the bone. AND some of the best cornbread I've every had ( including the southern states I visit.) I love cornbread and this is moist ( not crumbly or dry). Prices are fair and I've seen their wings on many "Best of" lists. You have to try it next time you want wings or ribs. Just don't forget the cornbread. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Everything is as perfect. It was my son's graduation party and there was a slight miscommunication in the order they quickly fixed it with no prob . It's why myself and my family go here for our large orders and will continue to do so ! Simply the best in Bergen county ! Food and the service are just out of this world! read more

Best chicken around! Hot juicy and delicious. So many sauces to choose from. Awesome corn bread too

Pulled pork sandwich tastes of Heinz Beans. Not Smokey, nor vinegar Carolina flavors.

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. read more

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! read more

Being from the South this is my go to place. People are really friendly and food is great.

After a recommendation from my friend, James, I ordered online and my order was perfectly organized. The Spicy Garlic Wings were DELICIOUS!! The ribs are so beautifully cooked that they fall apart and should be eaten delicately with your fingers. The cole slaw and mac and cheese were very tasty but I have no room for the cornbread so I will have to review that another time. The food was hot and ready when I arrived and everyone working there was very nice! read more

I ordered from them a long time ago and this is my apology. I didn't really like the food the first time.. I went about maybe 5 6 years ago and I just never went back. so recently on YouTube I started following this guy named Kingschratz from the area and he's been spot on and truthful in other places and he raved so much about this restaurant on multiple videos that I had to give them a second chance needless to say he was right I won't get into specifics, but I don't like pulled pork and I don't like chicken and waffles, but I like their pulled pork and I like their chicken and waffles for some strange reason lol the catfish was amazing now onto the wings... The YouTuber named one other place in a separate video in Clifton that they have really good wings buffaloes has hands-down the best wings in Jersey that I've ever tasted. I got the jerk wings, the sweet Thai and the lemon pepper and hands down there the best.. the food is so good that I haven't even eaten all of the food yet And I thought I should stop and give this review. Thank you Kingschratz thank you buffaloes.!!! read more

Great food prepared and served by really nice people. A family operation. Offers their fried chicken with amazing corn bread.

I went here and to my surprise Susan was preparing food. I purchased Buffalo shrimp and shrimp quesadilla. Delicious, courteous, clean friendly. Restaurant has tables and counter with stools. I enjoyed the food the portions are generous. The shrimp were huge and delicious. read more

Very good wings Worth every penny Best I've had to date Two thumbs up And don't forget the corn bread read more

Chicken wings were huge and juicy. Very flavorful. The staff is very nice. Will try the fried chicken and ribs next time.

This place doesn't have cooks in the kitchen. They have magicians, and everything they make is sorcery. Easily the best place I've eaten at in Jersey. The fried chicken, cornbread and pulled pork are all amazing but the best part is the hospitality. The lady behind the counter was super friendly and accommodating. It's also very reasonably priced. You have to check these guys out! read more

My search continues for the best fried chicken around. Buffalo's is definitely in top of my quest so far. 1st the service is awesome, I got there about 10mins before closing and ordered to go. Most places either give me what's left or say we are out. Not here...friendly smiles and freshly cooked to order 15-20mins. Now I know it's the real deal when my 8PC chicken to go is set up in a vented aluminum pan so it doesn't get soggy on my way home or hotel in this case. The taste, fried perfectly crunchy skin with simple spices and black pepper that I could tell. Inside juicy with a little sweet heat.. Maybe honey mixed with th hot sauce? I ate every last piece! read more

A few things to consider when ordering from here. (1) They have Mac & cheese on the menu but depending on the day they may decide not to make it. (2) when calling on the phone for order to go - there is a standard saying "the order will be ready in 25mins. But when you get there, you are waiting another 10mins. I've recently ordered a jerk chicken quesadilla and I got some whole other order. A chicken wrap or something of that nature. read more

This was a pleasant little chicken shack that I stopped at to kill some time and get some lunch. Upon coming in there was a lively group chatting with the owner and excited about the lotto machine they have inside and I guess during the lunch hour they give out a free bonus ticket which can make for a good time. The space is small and cozy but good for one large group, smaller tables and counter seating. Of course with it being 70 cent wings Wednesday I had to go with that. There are over 14 different sauces to choose from I got Orange ginger, jerk, spicy honey and honey. Of these four the spicy honey and jerk were the best but I'd love to try some of the others in a return visit. What was really great about the place which I value is the friendliness of the staff and the owner. She was very friendly with myself and the other patrons. Attitudes like this really invite you back. A great lunch spot, wings and lots of sauces, skip all the chains on Rt. 3 - try here. read more

What a great local joint, with amazing wings, awesome staff, and fast service. We sat at the counter because the place was packed, wednesday is 70 cent wing night, which is a great deal considering these are monster wings. They have a large selection of sauces, in order of sweet to deathly spicy. I got their version of thai chili, and a buffalo/sriracha sauce. Both were amazing, the wings are perfectly crispy on the outside tender juicy meat on the inside. I also tried their parm garlic sauce which is ridiculous, very rich, creamy, and a punch of garlic in your face. We also got their chili cheese fries. The fries alone are amazing, crunchy exterior with a creamy inside, but the chili is also amazing and with everything on top of these fries, they held up and never became soggy. When we were sitting there a sweet little old lady walks in (apparently a routine diner), they right away jump to service here, giving her waffles and scrambled eggs. One of the employees even gave her a bunch of free sides. Just the way they treated her was adorable, and that level of service I would come back again....But the wings are really really good. read more

I have been pointed to this place many times now as the best wings in the local area. As I travel quite a bit I choose to frequent chain locations for buffalo wings as I always know what I'm going to get. So this was a little bit outside my comfort zone but I figured what the heck. The wings were huge! The flavor was really big too. The reason I took a star off was because they were kind of soggy. Honestly, I would consider them a three star wing but more than likely if I actually ate them at Buffalo's they would've been much less soggy. I really like my wings to have a little crispness to them. That's why I usually get them double fried where possible. I'm definitely going to give them another shot and actually eat at the restaurant. It's hard to judge anything fried after it's been sitting in a box for 15 minutes. Flavor and wing size are a 5 star for sure! read more

A local family owned restaurant, the food is off the hook delicious. There is a lot to choose from on the menu. Their side dishes are also delicious. Coleslaw, mashed potatoes, fries, beans, and cornbread will leave you more than a satisfied. The staff is extremely friendly and makes you feel like you're at home. If you're hungry, I definitely recommend this place. You won't be disappointed. read more

Two words: Wednesday Wingsday I saw Buffalo's Chicken Shack on the weekly Yelp. I love wings, so I bookmarked it. I soon found that they had a special on Wednesdays for 70 cent wings, so I dragged a few friends along to try it out with me. We ordered at the counter, and waited for the staff to clean a table for us. I'm pretty sure everyone working there is a family member. They're very friendly and nice to talk to. I usually order 20 wings and fries to share. So far, I have had their Spicy Garlic Parmesan,Original Spicy, Rooster, Firestarter, Numb Ya Face, and most recently, the Misery wings. My favorite sauce by far is the spicy garlic parmesan, but the numb ya face is a close second. The misery wings are QUITE SPICY, but still flavorful. They're just not a wing i would want to eat 20 of. The wings are large and meaty. They don't give you little tiny wings like some places do. They also put just the right amount of sauce. The fries are good because i usually get em covered in cheese sauce, which i'm pretty sure they just buy. I've also tried their fried chicken, which was SOLID, along with a piece of their cornbread. I have now been multiple Wednesdays and can solidly confirm that this local, family owned, establishment deserves five stars on Yelp. read more
