    We were directed to this restaurant by some of the snowbirds who have tried it out. They proclaimed best chicken wings around and they were right. We were told that we could call ahead an our order and pick up at the drive through. But, we decided for the first time we would sit inside and have lunch and order wings to go for the afternoon football game. We arrived about 8 minutes before the Sunday noon opening time to a long line of people waiting to get in. We pulled in off of Beal and there is some parking along side the right side of the building, with more parking in the back. If you miss your turn into the restaurant just turn left at the next road and Left again and come to the back parking area. The left side of the building has the drive through. We were able to get in and seated right away. Our drink order was put in and brought back with a basket of celery and carrot sticks that were crisp and had the most delicious garlic blu cheese dressing. Our food order came out shortly after. Hubby had 10 wings with mango habanero sauce. Wings are awesome, best we've had. I snagged one to try as I traded for half my burger. I had the mushroom Swiss burger with curly fries. Burger was so good I ate 1/2 forgetting to add any of the ketchup, mayo and mustard that accompanied it. At least 1/2 of the fries and 1/2 chicken wings went home with us also taking out 25 naked wings with 5 different sauces for the game later. Speaking of games, there are ample TVs each with a different game on. We were there from Noon when they open on Sunday to a little after 1-prime time for football. Our Packer game wasn't on until 3:15, thus the takeout of wings for our condo football gang. Our waitress, Mia, was attentive with an authentic smile and checked often to see if we needed anything as she busily handled quite a few tables. By the time we got our food there was standing room only. We were told that this place is a local joint with mostly local customers but glad they share with the snowbirds. With all tables full of customers, and many tv's, it was quiet enough to hold conversations easily. We look forward to adding this as one of our faves along with Stewbys and Benjarong.

    Swung in for a quick burger based on the photos. Outstanding food. Superiorly friendly service. Would definitely stop in again if I was in the area.

    No Lemon pepper wings, one star off.. Dirty establishment, two stars off. Fountain drinks are flat .... This was advertised by locals as a hidden gem. Maybe the Texan in me is used to more flavor but this was a disappointment. Ordered mango habanero and tasted like honey bbq super sweet no heat. Ordered the medium heat and it tasted bland too. This place was too dirty for my liking as well. Wings were extremely mid but again I'm a Texan so if you are from Texas don't come here you won't like it. The curly fries was the best part of my meal and the cheese sticks were ummm yeah no comment. Service was lacking too but they only had one older lady working so kudos to her.

    I love Buffalo Reef. Been a fan of them since they opened 20+ years ago. I always get extra crispy wings with medium sauce. My to go too. Their curly and wrinkle fries are fantastic too! Everyone is really friendly. Definitely a recommendation for a local wing place.

    We've been coming here for at least 15 years. Absolutely amazing chicken wings. Can't get any better than Buffalos Reef!

    Bit of a hole in the wall place. They have around 80 beers on tap but many of the ones we wanted to…read moretry were not working or they were out of. This place is also a little tricky to find as it is tucked away behind some buildings. No thrills here which is what perplexes me about the menu prices. There's no way the quality of food can justify the price point. I did end up trying the spicy cheese curds. They were good, but again prices people. Service was great however. Keep an eye on their daily specials and go during those times.

I don't remember our servers name, but she was also great too! She was friendly, joked around with our group, and was very accommodating and attentive. We sat at the regulars table, and I just so happened to be sitting in Doug's seat, a fellow Buffalo Bills fan!! We had to leave him a note (pictured), I hope he got it! Pizza 10/10 10" pepperoni and pineapple Love the thin wood fired crust. It's perfect. Toppings are amazing together and the perfect amount. And so cheap! Mozzarella sticks 10/10 A normal mozzarella stick. Cooked perfect, crispy breading on the outside and melty gooey cheese inside. Burgers 9/10 Like a homemade BK whopper. Patty is cooked perfectly and perfectly seasoned.

    I'm shocked at their 2 1/2 star rating, but it seems most of the reviews are quite a long time ago…read more Zaxby's was helping with a fundraiser for First Baptist Church of FWB, so they were very busy. The friendly woman at the counter took her time to explain the dry rubs and answered other questions we had about the menu. The food came out quickly, which surprised me since they were quite busy with the fairly long line at the drive thru. Everything was hot and freshly made. The lemon pepper chicken strips were far superior to Wing Stop and other places that have rubs. I loved the seasoning on their French fries. Zaxby's chicken sandwich was super crunchy. I love Popeyes chicken sandwiches, but Zaxby's is just as good. Next time, I'll have to try their spicy chicken sandwich to see how it compares to Popeyes. A worker walked around cleaning tables after guests left and asked patrons how they were enjoying their food. I think I found my favorite fast food restaurant in town. I don't like most fast food places, so the next time I travel, I know Zaxby's will be a place I'd stop. I highly recommend this Zaxby's if you're looking for a good fast food restaurant!

    This probably has to be the most disgusting Zaxby's I've ever been to. As soon as you walk in, you…read morerecognize that it's just not clean. One of the big hints is that your shoes stick to the floor in some places but slip in other places. It's definitely not clean. On the plus side, the service is good. The attendant was nice and friendly. The fries were soggy, but the wings were pretty good. It's been a long time since I've been to Zaxby's. I probably won't go back for another long time.
