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!

This was an absolute homerun from A - Z. We were looking for something quick after my son's…read morebasketball game and I remembered seeing this place hidden in the corner of Rt 17. We ordered online and everything was ready when we arrived. You can also eat in if you'd like. Very casual and relaxed atmosphere. The chicken sandwich with the "Lauren sauce" was delicious. Chicken was very good quality, juicy and the sauce gave it a great kick. We also got the Korean Garlic wings which blew us all away. I see people saying it's over powering in the garlic department, which it is, but I LOVE garlic, so these were completely on point. Without a doubt, a must try. I will be back to try the other flavor wings and possibly venture to see how their burgers are.

Question: does Jersey have more chicken joints or potholes?…read more(I know... it' not even close but NJ is trying their best to oversaturate the market with chicken establishments.) We've been here now a few times, scattered over a few years, and sometimes it's a 3 and sometimes it's a 4. (Our most recent visit was a positive one - so we're officially Yelping this at 4-stars.) Fried chicken basket. Chicken sandwich. Rice bowls. French fries. We've bounced around their menu and everything has been flavorful, the portions are no joke and if you see 'SPICY' - they're not kidding around. (Personally I wish they'd mellow out on how much of their signature "Lauren sauce" they apply to their sandwiches because it overpowers everything else.) Guys behind the counter - always friendly. Restaurant is clean (although their table tops are oddly sticky) and it's always disconcerting when what's on the giant TV screen (Asian MTV?) isn't matching up with the music over the sound system (90's American alternative). To the right of the main counter there's a Hershey's "side-shop" for ice cream and shakes and bubble teas and yakult tea (no clue about any of that... I'm a boomer that's content with my Lipton black tea or Bigelow's green tea). Pricing is a bit hefty. (Most recent visit was about $17 a person, no drinks included.) They share a (really snug) parking lot with the likes of a Dunkin as well as (the highly underwhelming) Biggie's on Rt 17S - which can be tricky to get in/out of.

Get ready for a rambling run-on sentence - Inside the American Dream mall, on the first floor, next…read moreto the Hmart, there's an Asian food court with a counter kiosk that serves up serviceable Korean fried chicken. While there are a few non-chicken items on the menu, they're all minor sidekicks to the obvious star. The first order of fried chicken business is to determine whether you want boneless or wings, then to choose the flavor. Some of these will be saucy, while others seem more of a powdered variety. When you're finished ordering, they hand you a pager that rings and vibrates when your order is ready. Wanting to try as much of a variety as possible, our family ordered a boneless soy garlic and original spicy wings. On the plus side, the chicken is pretty good. Our soy garlic boneless chicken had healthy breading that stayed crispy even with a healthy dousing of that sweet and savory sauce. As good as the boneless chicken was, the wings were more tender and flavorful (as is the case with most Korean fried chicken places). The 'original spicy' is a powdered flavoring. While it's not the three-flame fire that was insinuated on the menu, there's a nice little back-of-the-throat burn. I enjoyed these just fine, but I felt pretty greasy and heavy at the end of it all. I was also shocked at the cost. Our order topped out at nearly $77 for sixteen pieces. I'm learning that's typical of Korean fried chicken places, but for me, the value just wasn't there.

First thing I've noticed is the lack of sauce. They need to be generous with the sauce and shake it up! A shame, since the crunch was perfect. I was also surprised it was mostly dark meat, as boneless KFC is usually mostly white. People are willing to pay for quality, so they need to step up - and no, I'm not paying $3 for sauce I can make at home. It was the first time I've tried the ddukbokki here and again there was very little sauce, and the sauce was too thin. There were barely any fishcake and could've used more pieces of cabbage. While there was some chopped green onions, it did not come with onions, carrots, or an egg. A bit meh.

We got two half box orders of boneless thighs (original crispy and soy garlic/sweet & spicy), fries, and water. The chicken took about 15-20 minutes to cook, but it was well worth the wait. My son (the pickiest eater in the world) LOVED the boneless thighs, and even the French fries. I thought everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The flavors were all fantastic, with the soy garlic being my favorite. The fries were also some of the best fries I've ever had. Super crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside. The food also came with Cole slaw which was DELICIOUS, and I say this as someone who normally strays away from Cole slaw. Customer service was excellent. The woman at the front was very friendly and clear with describing the food. Their presentation was top notch also. The food was packaged beautifully and even the bag it came in was just really well designed. It was like opening a holiday gift of delicious food. I would highly recommend paying this place a visit, although you'll probably have to do take out since they have limited seating.

The soy garlic was my favorite flavor, but also enjoyed the original by itself and dipped in honey and sweet/spicy sauce. The yuca fries have a crisp, airy texture I've never experienced before, which kept me going back for more. This size was a good portion for 2 people to share and was reasonably priced.

We ordered way too much because I underestimated how big one order would be (but I'm not complaining)! We had leftovers for days so needless to say, I was sick of Korean fried chicken by the end of it. I really liked the spicy soy garlic but didn't love the sweet and spicy. It's really heavy on the honey, if you're into that. The chicken comes with a side of pickled daikon cubes. Next time, I'd like to see what the cheese snowing chicken is all about. Plus they're other non-fried chicken dishes look pretty good and are reasonably priced as well. Overall, it's a good bang for your buck!!
