My friend just moved to South Buffalo, and we were searching for a good place to try. Yelp said to try here, and you folks were not wrong! The atmosphere is very run of the mill old school neighborhood bar, which always have the best food. :-) You can tell this place has been updated a bit, but is definitely not pretentious or hipster (Not that I don't enjoy those places sometimes). As a History teacher, I enjoyed the old photos of the canals on the walls and the mini history lesson right by our table. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We both had the Black and Bleu burger, and were not disappointed. Cooked to order, medium rare. It came out perfect. Add bacon, aioli, and some melty cheese (provolone?) on top, along with the bleu cheese inside...perfection. We will definitely be back to check out the wings we heard so much about! read more

With all the great reviews and Doc's social media, I've been anxious to check it out for myself. Their burger features are what always catch my eye. They have great a lunch deal Mon-Fri from 11am-2pm (the bartender told us it goes till 4pm). You can get a regular cheeseburger (no specialty burgers) or beef on weck with 5 chicken wing and fries for only $15. This is a lot of food, and with all the components, you would think smaller portions would be served, but that's not the case. We ordered one of these deals and the Burger Special of the Day, which was a steak burger with A1 aioli, sautéed onions and jalapenos, bacon, and red onion. The burgers were a bit overcooked; more of a well-done then a medium. The aioli, onions, and jalapenos made up for the over-doneness on the steak burger. And then there is the fact that there were so many other goodies to eat, I wasn't worried about the burgers. The chicken fingers are huge! One order was 5 fingers plus a good amount of crinkle cut fries; this could easily be shared. I know there is nothing special to this frozen food, but they hit the spot. Crispy coating and perfectly sauced. The blue cheese was very bold and had a strong sour cream flavor. Definitely an acquired taste, but if you aren't scared of a pungent blue cheese, this should be right up your alley! The wings were good, an average Buffalo wing. The kitchen accidentally made BBQ instead of Smitty medium, but the bartender and cook were super friendly and sent out a new order with a couple extra wings. We enjoyed the Smitty mediums the best. (Smitty = blend of spices added to your choice of mild, medium, hot. The spices definitely bring the sauce to the next level of deliciousness). The bbq sauce is a thin, sweet sauce. We also got to try the Forty Fries, which were their crinkle cut fries shaken in a garlicky butter with sprinkled parm. For us, they sounded better than they were. There just didn't seem to be much flavor to them. These extra calories weren't worth it. The food took awhile, but it was understandable as the lunch crowd was likely bigger than usual since it was a holiday. The bartender not only took care of everyone at the bar, she also served all the tables. Although we could have used more check-backs for re-fills and such, this is no fault to the server/bartender; she was as attentive as she could be. There was plenty of entertainment with all the TVs, shuffleboard, and darts. The bathrooms weren't the best, but I was there for the food, not the toilet. Overall, a good spot to check out for some pub grub. A lot of friendly Buffalonians hang out here! read more

Well, let me tell you a little story! My wife and I are in Buffalo at the tail end of our trip to the Falls, and we have a few hours to kill before we go to the airport. So what happens is we happen to drive through the "Irish Heritage District" of Buffalo, gift shops, restaurants and pubs, even The Buffalo Irish Center! We are on our way to a pizza and wing joint we've heard rave reviews about (another review coming!), but decide we'll stop by for a draught on the way back to the airport. We see Doc Sullivan's and decide that's the place we'll go. When we get back they're getting ready for a wedding across the street, we go inside and there are people dressed up eating and drinking. We ask, "pre-wedding warm up?" "No," was the answer, "that's the funeral from this morning, the wedding reception is after in our banquet room!" An Irish Pub across the street from a Catholic Church, it doesn't get any more Irish than that!! Great selection of beer, yummy pub food, friendly atmosphere! Sláinthe! read more

This place recently raised the price on their Mon & Tues wing special but it's still a great deal at 75¢ a wing. The wings were huge today and nice and saucy. The hot is right on par with how a hot wing should be in my opinion. The bathroom did look a little disheveled but hey it's an Irish bar in south buffalo. Hot wings 8.5/10 read more

Can I give 6 stars? We were traveling through Buffalo and my wife said we should get some wings. I told her they would just be the same as we get anywhere but she insisted so I got online and started searching. Doc Sullivan's is an Irish pub in an Irish area and we love pubs like that anyway and had to get some Guinness to drink. Got maybe the best, crispiest wings I ever had and they and the fries were piping hot. We got dry with two different sauces for dipping, she got hot buffalo and I got the hot 40, they were both awesome. I saw the sever bringing a wedge salad by which looked so good I stupidly ordered one. It was great but most of it went in a to go box as there was so much food, they give you a huge basket of fries! It's a simple Irish pub but the service was great and food awesome! read more

3.5. Just had wings to go based on recommendation, and they were just fine. Nothing to write home about. We got the smitty hot wings. Again, decent, but I wouldn't go out of my way for them read more

Great little bar located in the heart of South Buffalo. It's always busy especially during weekend nights. I'm a huge fan of their wings especially their garlic parm. Their hot wings are pretty mild to me. I also LOVE their chicken finger sub. Service has never been an issue with me. Since they're always busy during the night, the food does take a while to come out- more so around 45 minutes. read more

Food is always good and consistent! One of my top fav wing spots in Buffalo and the french onion soup will always be my #1 fav

This was our first time here as we are from Texas and the food was great; had pizza logs and beef on wreck burger! The bartender did an excellent job waiting on us and they had my fav drink of watermelon Red Bull, deep eddy lime, and cranberry juice. The ambiance was that of a down home Irish bar. If I am ever back up here I will come back. read more

Of course we had to have buffalo wings in Buffalo, and we were not disappointed with the wings here. We ordered ours hot and extra crispy. The level of hot was hot but not mouth burning, perfect for me, and they were still crispy under the coating of sauce. The celery sticks were super fresh and crunchy. The mozzarella sticks looked pretty dark, but they tasted crispy and the cheese was chewy, and enjoyable. The Guinness on draft was tasty, but what a disappointment it was that it was served in a plastic cup in a Irish Pub. They also charged for soda water from the gun, which was disappointing as well. There were only 2 other tables for lunch and 1 person at the bar, with someone on a ladder near us doing repairs of some sort on the ceiling, which kind of detracted from our experience, hence 4 stars. read more

Food was very good, burgers and wings were made with effort for sure and looked very professional. Meals were also very filling. Only needed to order one burger for myself because of the size and the fries it came with on the side. Service was also amazing, people who worked there were very concerned with our experience and helped order food. Ambience was also nice, decor and lighting helped enhance mood. Overall good restaurant. read more

Never would have thought to stop into an Irish place for the best wings in Buffalo, but damn. They were amazing.

Idc how the food comes out, been waiting for it for about an hour now. Smells like ur classic Irish pub.

I had discovered this place when researching places to eat and we stopped in directly from our 6 hour drive. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. We were told we would need to order everything through the bar since it was after a certain time but someone came to us and helped us at a time which was really nice. The nachos looked amazing on Yelp pictures and we wanted to try wings and pizza logs. Everything was so delicious! I knew I'd be the only one eating nachos, it was a huge portion and worth what I spent to try them. I've been craving pizza logs since we've returned from our trip and the wings were my favorite that we tried in Buffalo. I am partial to buttery wings which these were so I was a little biased but you can't go wrong with them. We had a nice table by a window and it had started to snow hard as we pulled in to town so it was a beautiful view. It looked as if it would be a both fun and laid back place to have a drink and hang out for the night. I really wish we could replicate this establishment back home! 10/10. read more

Service was spotty, which I suppose was a good thing since our waitress was quite unpleasant. We asked for extra crispy wings, but the came out rubbery. Yuck. The medium wings tasted so much like cloves they were almost inedible. The spicy parm wings had a nice flavor. The third order - not sure what they were - had a ¼ inch thick spicy spackle that was so off-putting we only ate 3 of the 10 we ordered. The blue cheese dressing was thin like ranch dressing and tasted nothing like blue cheese. read more

Food here is phenomenal. The burgers and wings are truly amazing. You will not be sorry you had a meal here.

Headed to So Buffalo for some wings in a Friday night. The first place we walked into was packed so we decided to try Docs as a backup. Ordered twenty medium and 20 of their recommended " smitty" wings, as well as some other finger foods. Big big mistake. We should have waited the hour or so at the original choice. The medium wings were very rubbery and bland. i cannot describe the " smitty wings at all. The pungent sauce was like nothing we've ever exp. Absolutely inedible. Five of us didn't even finish the 20 and no one took the leftovers home ( and we are not picky) . Pizza logs, mozzarella sticks and poutine were fine but unexceptional. All in all a disappointing evening. Service was typical bar service. read more

In my quest to find new wings spots I found this place on yelp and decided to try. I ordered takeout and I wasn't disappointed. Ordered during the day so there was only a few people inside eating at the bar,but it was nice in there. A lot of seats and multiple TVs around to watch games or whatever. The guy who checked me out was nice. I ordered 20 wings, half Smitty's medium and half Smitty's hot. The hot wasnt really hot like burn your mouth, as some places, but it had a good taste. You just never know how restaurants "hot" will be. Medium was OK not much sauce, but I really liked the hot so I will stick to that. The blue cheese seemed to have a sour base perhaps sour cream as other reviews stated. I'll have to go back to try other things on the menu, but for now this is a solid wing spot in South Buffalo on my list! read more

Never going back over changed our bill by 30.00 and Evan after discussing it with the waitress she only gave back 14.00 Crying shame local place never going back and we had a party of 10. Not to mention the extra 10.00 for paying with a card If I could it would absolutely be zero stars read more

Ordered pick up on phone today. They took the order politely and correctly. Got home with a great beer batter fish fry, lots of fancy fries (coasted) a good Mac salad, cole slaw. It was a large piece of fish and very tasty. The broiled fish was great too. Also had a small wing, good size and medium sauce not too hot. The pizza logs and Buffalo roll were both great starters. Pick up went well and packaged up good. First time here, but not my last. See you next week. read more

Love coming to Docs! It's a great atmosphere that welcomes you like family. Great on a weekday for their lunch special or on a Friday night for wings and a craft brew! Came on a Friday- we could tell it was busy. Order came out wrong and the wings we ordered never came to the table. read more

Cool dive bar. We came for our friend's birthday so there were a lot of us. We got a table as soon as we came in. It's very busy there so it's hard to call ahead for anything. I'm not sure if they take reservations. They have a nice beer selection and a full bar. Drinks are reasonably priced and well made. Everyone we encountered was friendly which was great. Also, it was nice that we specified it would be separate checks in the beginning and there were no issues with that. That was was total plus. Food sent to the table: I loved that our server warned us that everything will be coming out at different times. We were cool with that, but it's also nice to have that notification. They no longer turn any sandwich into a flatbread so the only flatbread they have is the buffalo chicken bacon ranch. Which tasted good. I took 2 fry from each of my friends' plate and those were good. A few people got the Doc's grilled cheese which comes with bacon and tomato. It looked perfectly grilled and my friends enjoyed that. Beef on weck is a buffalo staple and apparently that was good too. One friend ordered mild wings and there was no sauce in them. Those were not good. So they ended up ordering some BBQ sauce for the side. I got hot southie gold wings (I asked them to mix the hot sauce and southie gold sauce). It ended up being a hot honey mustard. Soooo good. The bathrooms aren't the best. But it's a dive bar so, be mindful of that. Other than that, the place is cool. They have shuffle board. And they also have a back area available for private events. read more

I did Black-N-Bleu Burger and was somehow satisfied with it. A huge burger!!! Very well cooked! Not burn not rare! Also, this place has some special burgers. Keep in mind the kitchen doesn't serve burger after 10 Saturdays! (Waitress asked to reopen it for us!!!! Very nice ppl) It was a dart at the back side and bar was a nice place to grab a drinkand chitchat! In our second visit, I ordered Wednesday burger special which had galoppino cream cheese! (I didn't see galoppìno in it- not worth it) This time I did Wednesday special. Very satisfying read more

Best place for wings in Buffalo. Tried a few since I've visited a few times, Doc's is the best. Their wings sauce is creamy, spicy, little sour, and their bleu cheese is amazing. Has a sour cream base and it really adds to the wing. The garlic Parmesan wings are also amazing. They have a bunch of creative and good wing flavors. Also a bunch of great beer on tap, rotating through a bunch, fun place to try new beers. Overall one of the best spots in Buffalo, best wings! read more

I truly have no idea how I haven't reviewed Doc's yet. I have been boycotting them due to how they handled COVID-19, so I havent been here since the beginning of the quarantine, but I used to be a weekly regular here. During quarantine however, while they were incredibly busy with takeout specials they were running and should have been able to survive on that alone since they didn't have as much staff to employ. However, they were ALSO running a secret speak-easy type establishment in the back, where drinks were being served to crowded patrons without masks. I had heard this from numerous people and decided they no longer deserved my business. For that, they easily lose two stars. I have no doubt they contributed to the spread early on in South Buffalo and I, along with many others, reported them to the health department for their actions. Not sure they were ever even fined but they certainly lost business from some loyal patrons and none of our friends have been back since either. I am only giving them 3 stars because their food is fantastic and the atmosphere is fun, with darts and shuffleboard available. The wings, burgers, and fish fry are all delicious. The service is hit or miss. read more

Came here on a Friday after work. The bar got busier as we sat and ate our food. The waitress was very nice and attentive. I ordered the chicken finger sub which is basically two half subs with lots of barbecue sauce and I asked for extra medium sauce on the side and blue cheese. The blue cheese was definitely different than most blue cheese I have seen in Buffalo, I didn't love it, but I loved the barbecue and the medium sauce. The french fries were crispy and tasty. My friend ordered the PB and jelly burger that she enjoyed. They have a pretty large selection of bottled and tap including cider. I appreciate that they serve the Ellicottville blueberry ale with blueberries. Quick-service, good service, and great food and at an affordable price in a comfortable setting. read more

This was tough to rate because everything was good but it was nothing to make me come back either. Crowded Saturday night and everyone was having a good time. Service was fine. Had the hot Smitty style wings and they were your typical Buffalo wings, so it doesn't separate itself from other wings in Buffalo. I had Doc's burger and it was a nice size but nothing to write home about. A bit overcooked. Fries were great. Nice beer selection. I live about 5+ minutes away by car. If I was walking distance I might hit it up more often. Again, nice place but nothing that separates it from other bars in Buffalo. I suggest going there and seeing if you like it. I live between Imperial and Winfield's, so I would walk to those places instead of taking the short drive there. read more

They have burger nights on Wednesdays that means their regular burger is $5 ($6 with fries) and they also have a special burger on that night. On our visit, the special burger was a burger with bacon and jalapeno and cheddar cream cheese. For a $6 price tag, the regular burger was nice and worth it although it was heavy and a bit greasy yet overcooked. However, for the other burger I can be more critical. It was essentially the same patty with different toppings. My main issue with the burgers was that they were very heavy, on the greasy side while being overcooked. I would recommend having the regular burger (Docs burger) when it's $5. It's a generous portion that you can easily share between two people. read more

Kinda smelly when you first walk in - like cleaning supplies, old beer and chicken wings - obviously it's a pub in South Buffalo so that's not necessarily unsurprising or a turn off. You get used to it pretty quickly. Had a good but small variety of craft beer and a menu entirely based around the fryer (again, pub). Friend and I split an order of their Hot Smitty wings (I guess the smitty is just seasoning). The signs were well done and tasty but it does not come with blue cheese (+$1) and the hot sauce is more of a medium. Guy came in and bought the whole bar a round of drinks (eyyy!) and it seemed to be a really friendly and familiar town bar. Not a bad experience but definitely a South Buffalo one! Will likely be back soon! read more

I love this place!!! The service every time is great and I usually come with a VERY large group. This last time we all ordered separate and our waiter didn't even make a fuss! He also remembered what everybody ordered- that's impressive with over 20 people!! The wings here are AMAZING! You have to try the beef on weck wings- not on the menu but they do have them. They are unreal. The smitty style wings are the best wings around also! They have homemade blue cheese too that I am a big fan of! They have a lot of choices for appetizers too and I heard the PBJ burger is very good. There is also a salad that looks great for any vegans. It was a very large portion too. The forty fries are garlic Parmesan fries- delicious along with the garlic parm wings of course. I can't recommend this place enough! They even have a banquet room for any events you might have. read more

First review: Medium wing is good but garlic permissions is okey . Close to mercy's hospital! Nothing really special. The service was not good. We went there to pick up our own food after quite time waiting. Second Time and last time I was there ! This is the review : I Wish there was Zero star to give it to this place! The second time I was there , I forgot my wallet at home . Worse service ever! I forgot my ID and were there just for wings. First the bouncer asked me if I am with anyone else, then after he checked my friends' ID he did not let us in . The time was 9:30 pm the bouncer was saying I can't let you in after 10 pm! Well it's not 10 pm and I am telling you we do not even want drink and just want to order food to take and leave. He even did not let us in to order to take out! Definitely not going back there ! Was a mistake to go there once! Their food was just okey the first time and the second time not let you in even for take out is just mean! read more

Took the family back to Buffalo on vacation and found this place. Great wings and super friendly service. My kid loved the poutine. Street parking can be tricky but we got lucky with the spot right in front of the entrance. Much better prices than the places in the touristy areas and great local vibe. read more

This place was a solid four in my book, maybe a bit higher. Went with a buddy of mine on wing night just before New Year's Eve and it was a great time to visit! It was quiet but not too quiet. Server was nice but the food took a little too long to come to our table that's likely why I'm not giving it a five star. The beef nachos were awesome, crispy nachos covered in queso and beef! Could be the best nachos I've ever had, best I've ever had drake;) The star of the wings show was the garlic parm wings, crispy and creamy, and just damn tasty. The medium wings were solid, typical of a buffalo wing ala anchor bar or Gabriel's gate. In summary, this place is a must try. One of the better wing joints up in Buffalo! read more
