    All right, I hope everybody remembers when they read these reviews that it's all a matter of opinion I know everybody loves Duff's wings, and well, probably the actual restaurant and everything This was my first time going in there, and I did not care for The surroundings at all. Tables were too close, people are way too loud. I can't eat in loud surroundings. I don't like that, and it was so hot in there that it made me very uncomfortable. I believe all restaurants and bars, etc. should be air-conditioned and make people comfortable. If they're too cold, they can always put on a jacket but when you're too hot, I can't take much off. I ordered the roast beef on Weck and fries instead of potato chips. I was very satisfied it was delicious. Very expensive, I found everything was very expensive on the menu, but if you want good food, I guess that's what you gotta do is pay more. Jim ordered mild wings, they still looked good even though I'm a hot wing person. I was looking at everybody else's huge plates of wings that were coming out and they looked so amazing. I'm definitely gonna get some to take home some time. Anyway, the wings looked good smelled good, Jim said they were very good, my sandwich was good. The fries were good, the waitresses were nice so the service was pretty good. But again too small, too loud, too hot, and those things just don't make me happy. I probably would go in there again and eat if somebody else wanted to, but I'd rather take my food to go next time. One other issue I had is definitely the restroom. That had to be the smallest stall I have ever been in. Anytime I moved I banged into one of the walls. They have two stalls in there, which to me is definitely not enough when you're serving "spicy hot " food. At one point there was five people in the restroom. Luckily, I just had to wash my hands in that visit. But the restroom is way too small and when I talk to Jim about the ladies room, he said the men's room is super small too, so they're probably about the same size. So that was definitely a negative thing for me was the restroom.

    A large(30wings) order of spicy BBQ wings, with a side of celery sticks and "baby" carrots.

    There were three of us so we ordered 30 wings. We picked Spicy BBQ. The wings were spicy, not exceptionally, but nicely tangy. They were extremely hot, temperature-wise, and stayed quite hot until we decided to quit for the night. Yes, we had a doggy bag! The negative was the celery sticks. It is unusual for restaurants to serve both celery and carrot sticks. Many serve only one or the other or none. The celery on our platter was tough; it tasted "old", not fresh. There was plenty of blu cheese sauce served with our large order.

    I really enjoyed the wings here. They were so delicious and crispy. The sauce was soo good. I got their buffalo and barbecue ones. They are famous for a reason. Wish we had this in NYC. One of the best I have ever tried and I love me some wings.

    This is the best wings place in buffalo as I hear from my friends I am a vegetarian there was still so many options for me. I had a vegetarian burger that had the fluffiest bun and I had fry's and chips. The chips weren't that good so I would get it with chips. The service was fast. The ambiance is good but they don't take reservations so you should plan on having to wait a little bit. The place is kinda tight so it is a little hard to get a wheelchair in but it is possible. I would highly recommend if you are visiting buffalo

    With the 3 of us we ordered 30 wings, spicy bbq. They arrived within no time, really, really hot temperature. The bbq sauce is not overly spicy, and has a great tangy flavor. The wings were served with carrots ànd celery and of course blue cheese sauce. Unfortunately, the celery was terrible, probably just too old to be served. We took some wings home and enjoyed them the next day.

    I can absolutely see why they have the following they do in buffalo. You definitely have to try this place at least once. I'm not sure if I believe there heat level warnings. I'm definitely not that guy who says " you call that hot". Really great vibe and staff for take out. Bonus they have some really neat merchandise. There logo is simple but cool We got medium wings and they were by far the most aromatic and hard hitting on your nostrils of any buffalo wings They weren't my absolute favorite in buffalo but they were damn good and unique

    Coming to Buffalo we had to find the best wing spot. My dad and I both had this place bookmarked besides the place known for inventing them, however after being told by a few locals that the original place isn't really the best we decided on duffs. We had the pizza logs and jalepeno poppers to start. I had the 5 boneless lunch special which came with a side of fries. My son wanted the 20 piece so he got the daily special which is apparently for 2 to share so keep that in mind as he has a healthy appetite and did not finish his food. Everyone else at the table shared his large fries and there was left over. The boneless wings were mild and had a great crunch and mild flavor. The medium and bbq my son had were unique sauces. Medium is advertised as hot but to me, trying the sauce was not very hot. My dad thought it was pretty vinegar forward but I think that's how the original sauce is done. My son's mouth did start to burn after about the 5th wing so I would maybe still call that a medium? The bbq sauce was too strong on the ketchup flavor according to my dad but I thought it was good, not sweet. I'm not a wings person, theirs didn't look very appetizing but my son didn't care much for the bbq and he doesn't like flats which are the only ones I eat so I ate a few of his bbq flats and was surprised that they had a little crunch to them too. The pizza logs are essentially pizza egg rolls. I like it. The jalepeno poppers come with a red pepper and we're different but tasty. Service was not friendly but not rude. Definitely not attentive. More like dive bar service. We were asked if we were ready to order immediately upon sitting but when we said no, did not get a chance to order drinks or apps or anything

    10 Wings

    A Buffalo Establishment in its own right beloved by locals and nowadays more often by tourists. People often make the pilgrimage to Duffs to eat fried Buffalo Chicken wings. (Myself included during a recent road trip to Niagara with my wife). The space was modest and it was clear the place maintained its level of charm as a popular destination. They were fully staffed and you can expect your order to arrive in a reasonable time. Duff's Famous Wings taste tangy, buttery, and boldly spicy, with a sharp vinegar kick and rich cayenne heat that coats crispy, juicy chicken. I would not say it is the best though but I'll save that for another review.

    Brian G.

    My daughter and I both really enjoyed our dinner here with chicken wing appetizer! Would definitely recommend for anyone in the area to go to and we will definitely return. Great service!

    Came from California, honestly wasn't impressed with the wings . I can make wings as good so don't get the hype. I had better wings in Sodus point . They were good but not great and the service was lacking. Not once did hostess check on us for anything no refills . Nope they were too busy socializing. I was generous leaving a tip.

    Celery and carrots
    Ve'Ka T.

    They did it again! This time I ordered ahead to avoid the wait at the restaurant. They were still packed on a Tuesday night. Hostess was very friendly and gave an accurate time remaining for my order. I ordered 5 lemon pepper wings. . .it was just enough to make you want more! They were hot, crispy, tender, and flavorful at the same time. The side order of celery and carrots was enough to feed 10 people. Next time I'll order more wings!

    6 medium wings.

    We were in Buffalo to go to the AKG museum. We were inside for better than 3 hours and were hungry. Buffalo....Duff's wings. The GPS took us to the first location that opened (the waitress said the 1960s) a long time ago. The building is sitting at an angle from the road so go to the right and turn in to park or go past and turn right for the parking lot. Middle of the afternoon on a Thursday they weren't too busy. We were seated immediately and waited on quick. I wanted some clarity with the wing heat. Some places hot is mild or hot is burn your face off. She clarified the medium hot is hot so that's what I decided on for an order of 6. My sister isn't so much of a wing person so she decided on a grilled cheese. The waitress was pleasant and answered all the questions we had. The restaurant itself isn't too big but can seat a lot of people. Total wing vibe. Lots of different flavors and quantities went by...everything looked tasty and fresh. They had Yuengling on tap so that's what I ordered. She had a pepsi. Food arrived fast. The aroma was to die for (ok it burns the eyes a little...). Came with celery and blue cheese. The wings were amazing, some of the best I have ever eaten. Crunchy celery and cool dipping sauce. Bigger than most that I have ordered and very freshly prepared. After 6 I was filled up...but I ordered another brew just to wash it all down. If you're in Buffalo (or the area) it's definitely worth stopping to have a treat. Other Buffalo favorites are on the menu as well (Beef on Weck sandwich. We will definitely be back, more flavors to try and locations to enjoy.

    Exterior, I would have taken a picture of the wings but they didn't make it.

    HFS! Drove from NC and legit had the best wings I have ever had! The service was good! Ambiance is exactly what I expected to find in a great wing spot! Must go if you're visiting!

However as you look around the bar and the restaurant you see a lot of people talking and chatting with some new friends and probably old friends and family and it makes you feel good.

It made me kind of wish we were sitting at the bar as, the bartender seemed like he was quite happy and friendly and having a good conversation with one of the patrons. They do have things marked on the menu for gluten free and vegetarian, that was a help for sure. The food was excellent. Go check it out, you won't be disappointed.

It's cafeteria style (for now, I'm sure), where you go up, order, pay for your food, then sit at one of the 4 tables.

And I'll explain why... . As the owner will proudly tell you, they have won awards for their sauce. I'm not in the least bit surprised... it is absolutely scrumptious! It's not like the sauce you find at most places. This is authentic Northern Italian sauce. The flavor is so rich, I could literally drink it from a cup! The meatballs are very flavorful, and the homemade bread... thick and hardy. . I ordered what was a breaded rice ball with a meatball in the middle. They threw in a couple extra meatballs and cut me a huge hunk of bread. My friends all ordered what was a stuffed half loaf of bread and got to choose their own fillings. We were all extremely happy with the food. . Now what makes this special other than the food... the two men who make sure your dining experience is a good one. The owner, once we were finished eating, sat with us at our table and got to know a bit about us. He told us that he also offers cooking lessons with Italian lessons! What a great idea for a group of people to experience. . Please give this little gem a chance. They certainly deserve all the kudos. We all agreed we will be returning soon. .

I loved all the sauces we tried (saucy hot cajun, medium, and garlic parm). The wings were perfectly crisp, and the steak pizza had a ton of flavor. Definitely a heavier meal, but if you're bringing someone from out of town who wants great wings, this is a spot worth taking them to.
