I get it now. I had to try Duff's at least once to see if they truly are better than the Anchor Bar wings I've had. Niagara Falls was just the most convenient one for my trip at the time. Truthfully, I don't know if the wings are better at the Buffalo locations or not. But I know this much. These were legit better than Anchor. They were crispy without being overdone. They were more tender. They felt like the cooks took extra care to make sure they were perfectly timed. I felt like I could get Anchor Bar wings in Philly. I don't feel that way about Duff's. I feel like they're doing the special thing. And if there are better than this, then someday I hope to find out. read more

Duff's Famous Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

This location is convenient to the outlet mall and easy to get to and from. It is in a plaza with a lot of other business and restaurants, so even if the parking lot looks packed, it might not be as busy as it looks. I've eaten at this location twice and had good experiences both times. One time I had a slight wait (under ten minutes) another time they were able to seat us right away. The dining area was clean and had a variety of seating options. The menu is pretty straight forward. Wings (standard wings along with boneless), some appetizers and a variety of drink options. The wings are the typical tasty and decently sized wings served at the other Duffs locations. They offer a variety of sauces and serve the wings with celery and blue cheese. Servers are attentive and this location is family friendly. read more

I'm not a fan of tabasco so despite friends raving about Duff's for years, I had not been until this year's trip to town. We ordered two flavors of non-Buffalo boneless: hot honey and dr pepper char-bq, and a side of onion rings. I had soda, hubs had a cocktail of which I tried a sip. My favorite part of dinner was the cocktail; if I hadn't been designated driver I would have enjoyed having this. I can't remember which one it was, but it was my kind of cocktail; very fruity, somewhat sweet. Not fancy-schmancy but tasting very good. The onion rings were the breaded kind rather than the crispy bread crumb kind, they were fine but not standout. The wings... eh. I am a big fan of Plucker's Dr. Pepper BBQ wings but I didn't love these. The char taste was actually overpowering and I expected a bit more sweet to the sauce than it had. The hot honey was also charry and not super sweet. It was all fine, but not something I would crave. The place has a cute casual ambience and our food came out fast, there wasn't a crowd though on the weeknight we were there. I'd come either to drink or because friends really wanted to but otherwise I probably wouldn't request it. But, like I said, I'm not a tabasco fan so I couldn't partake in what they are known for and what they (probably) do best, so I don't say this to discourage others - mainly just so I remember my own opinions. read more

First, Duffs are the best wings in Buffalo. With that said, this location is terrible. Service is terrible, food is subpar compared to other locations. Wings were small, sauce didn't taste the same as other locations. They ran out of beef and the waitress was unaware and half the table had to reorder their meals. Entrees all came out at different times and the place wasn't that busy at 4pm. Never got silverware or plates because we were told everything was dirty. This location is tarnishing the Duffs brand. read more

This is my second time coming here to this location and I can't believe I never reviewed it. Both visits were consistent with great food and most importantly delicious food. We started off with their Pizza Logs. These came out piping hot. Very cheesy and tasted delicious with the pepperoni and marinara sauce. Soon after, our wings were brought to our table. We ordered their medium, medium hot and their hit. They were all good but regret not ordering something spicier. The hot really wasn't that hot. Duffs is definitely the place to go. I can definitely see myself returning a third time. read more

When traveling to Buffalo, NY area- you must try Duff's! The establishment was a quaint little spot with restaurant seating on one side & bar seating on the other. The bartender was on it! Super friendly, suggestive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The wings were even more delicious than expected! We smashed the 30 wing, some pizza rolls, and he got a beef on weck- very tender & yummy. The kids loved it, the husband loved it, win/win! Be sure to swing by a Duff's to try some of their famous wings! read more

My chicken caesar salad was surprisingly really good. It was a large portion and had a lot of chicken, and the other ingredients tasted fresh. The fried pickles were ok as there was too much breading. read more

Great wings and sauces to choose from. The dining room was very loud and you can't hear others at your table talk.

As advertised large size wings, extra saucy, extra crispy, super moist inside. Highly recommend. Death sauce wasn't as hot as I thought but still delicious. read more

The best wings in Buffalo! I'll need to visit the one in Tampa. Please come to SWFL!!

I placed an order for wings to go. They are usually pretty good. Last night they were not. So disappointed. No flavor and full of grease. In fact, the bag they were in was loaded with grease. I've been here in the past and never had this problem. I am willing to try them again but maybe next time I will dine in. read more

We make it up to WNY once a summer and get Duff's every trip, and have always bragged about how no one in the south knows how to cook wings. Asked for extra crispy. Got the opposite. Fat not rendered properly and the skin is flabby and unappetizing. Takeout containers weren't completely closed either and sauce spilled all over inside of bag. It wasn't very busy, so no excuse for this. I'm hoping it's an outlier, because they've been the best we've ever had until this time. read more

Definitely makes you wonder how Buffalo always does their wings just right!! It was a great experience. The wings were not too crunchy, but crunchy enough and had just the right amount of sauce. One thing that was a bit unusual was the taste of the side sauces like their brown gravy for the fries. For some reason, the gravy was watered down that night. We will be back again! Thanks for a great time. read more

I had the wings; 1/2 Buffalo medium snd 1/2 Cajun sweet and they were really good. The wait was 50 minutes to get our food, but it was Friday night. The atmosphere was very noisy so just know that's how it is. read more

I don't want to tussle, but I think these are the best wings in Niagara Falls. Dropped in on a Saturday and had a nice lunch. The women who work there are very nice. We enjoyed the Cajun fries(must get!), lemon pepper dry wings, and the Char BQ. Yummmmm, everything was made to order and delicious. The Char was really char grilled. read more

Great food, great service and amazing wings. Every time we visit, never disappointed. Locals know this is the best place for wings any day!

I love Duff's wings. Over a decade ago, I visited one of the Buffalo locations. This franchise moved over the border and I was thrilled to get my fix in Vaughan. Last month, I had a brief stay in Niagara Falls, NY. Before checking in to my hotel, I needed lunch. I did a search and found this Duff's location roughly ten minutes away from my hotel. Perfect! This eatery is located in a fairly busy plaza. I had no problem pulling into a parking spot and walking into the restaurant just after 2 pm. I was promptly greeted by a woman. She said that I could sit anywhere and that there were menus on the table. Cool! My server, Jennifer, was friendly and attentive. I got the following items: - Diet Pepsi - #2 lunch special, consisting of ten honey garlic wings, buffalo wing soup, and side salad with Italian dressing My Diet Pepsi came out first. I forgot about how large drink sizes are. It was cold and refreshing. I got a refill towards the end of my meal. My buffalo wing soup and side salad came out next. I enjoyed the soup. I normally don't like buffalo sauce, but it was subtle. The veggies were yummy. The oyster crackers were a nice touch and paired well with the soup. My side salad was generous. It was nice getting crisp lettuce and veggies. The dressing was on the side, which I appreciated being able to control how much of it that I wanted. My wings came out next. They were humungous! I loved the honey garlic sauce on them. The wings were crispy and meaty. So good! The only downside was the bucket for the wings. It didn't have the most pleasing smell to it. Luckily, I moved it further away from the table, which helped. This place got busy by the time I was done eating my late lunch. I'm glad that I came here before the early dinner rush. I used the washroom before I left. The women's washroom is a single stall. There was a lineup. The stall was clean. I wish that there were more stalls. I had a great experience at this Duff's. When I'm back in Niagara Falls, I'd return in a heartbeat. (141) read more

Yep, definitely gotta visit the Buffalo area to get the best wings. Perfectly fried to a crisp and juicy finish and that sauce is special. It's been a long while since I last had Anchor Bars, but almost felt like these were a little better, at least a little juicier on the inside. We didn't think that big bowl of fries looked that great, but once we started snacking, they seemed to just disappear. read more

Food was fair. Burger tasted burnt. I had beef on weck. Smallish sandwich for $15.99 and another $2.50 or so for some fries. Not priced appropriately in my opinion. If I try again I'll stick to the wings. And that's a big if. read more

So my youngest son and I were spending the night in the area and wanted to visit. We were arriving around 5pm on a Saturday and I was concerned about being able to get a table. Fortunately we were able to get a seat immediately upon arrival. Our waitress was very friendly. Wings are amazing. I ordered the 10 medium wings which had a kick to them. Wings were well sauced. My son ordered chicken tenders which were huge. Ordered a large fry which was huge and came out pretty quickly. Duffs is a Buffalo staple. I'm glad we visited. Wings were excellent, easily accessible and good service. You will want to stop if you're in the area. read more

Visited Buffalo and had heard great things about this franchise, so we decided to stop by and try the chicken wings and smash burgers. We ordered the mild Buffalo wings--they had a bit more kick than expected, but the flavor was great overall. The wings were surprisingly large, which was a definite plus. For the smash burgers, our group tried both the single with mozzarella and the blue cheese option. The mozzarella burger came out on top--juicier and more balanced. I've had my fair share of smash burgers, and I'd say this one was solid, though slightly on the dry side if I had to nitpick. The staff were friendly and attentive, checking in regularly. Even though the place was a bit busy, it was still quiet and had plenty of seating available. read more

We came to Duff's for Buffalo wings because we're in Buffalo! They offered regular wings and boneless wings. We ended up getting the boneless wings (which I know is not as authentic), but I enjoyed them anyway. Apparently they are cut up chicken breasts. I was disappointed that the menu had recently changed so that the prices went up and the quantity of wings that they provide went down. But according to the waitress, the size of the boneless wings is bigger, so maybe it all evens out? The BBQ sauce flavor was too much sauce for me. It was very sweet and very salty. I ended up waking up several times in the middle of the night to guzzle water because I was so thirsty. I enjoyed the dry wings better. My one knock is that the service is SO slow. I couldn't believe how long it took to get my food. I actually saw it sitting on the counter but the waitress didn't pick it up for a good 5 minutes after it landed on the counter. So that was frustrating. read more

Wings are too dry and tasteless. I think they should marinate it before frying it, and maybe don't fry it as long or refry it.

Excellent wings and interesting soup First time visit vacationing from Florida Wings were perfectly crispy and our level of sauce was excellent , best wings I've had Wings well trimmed . Soup was Buffalo Sauce and thick . Spicey too Nice service and a Bavarian big pretzel to go Don't live in area but for wings which I did read more

This is a combination Duff's and DoorDash bash. I ordered four items totaling almost $70 and one of the items, a $10 item wasn't delivered. I called Duff's & they take no responsibility. DoorDash takes no responsibility either. if you don't want to be ripped off by these charlatans, I suggest you dine elsewhere. read more

As a traveler I get recommendations of where to eat when I'm in a new town. I was recommended here. The service was outstanding, the food average. I have had chicken wings in almost all the 50 states I have visited, you need to come with it and show a difference. I could of cooked these at home better. I would go back just for the great environment and employees but bring my own wings. Get a wing "specialist". This place has it all to be a top spot. read more

Let me start off with; "These wings are amazing." On our way up to Lewiston, Helene and I had to make a stop at Duff's Famous Wings. We had just learned of this new location and as we were passing by anyway... Located very conveniently in a shopping center right on Niagara Falls Blvd. It's an easy in and out to any direction. Parking is a snap. Our delightful waitress came over as we came in and sat us. It wasn't busy so we really had a choice of where to go. One side was the restaurant, the other side, the bar. We really came in for a snack so we ordered 15 wings and WOW, were they great. I always asked for them "a little crispy." Aren't they always a little crispy? I just want them with a bit more crunch then usual. They always nail it. These wings were mild "Duff's Mild." Fantastic. Once you start eating them, you can't stop. But... we had to. So glad we stopped by and we are looking forward to our next journey up North. KUDOS's to the team here at Duff's Famous Wings. read more

Not a local but i had the best wings of my life here on 8/1/25. Popped in after niagara falls and honestly this place somehow exceeded my extremely high expectations. The presentation is the best ive ever had with wings. Buckets for bones. Extra plate i didnt even know what to do with. The fries separated from the wings. The celery seperate too. Plenty of napkins, wet wipes, refills without asking. I honestly had a great visit even with the drama that some local guy caused that day. He was running his mouth about the bartender and boy she called him out and sent him packing. Ha. I avoid drama at all costs so when she started venting to me about it i did my best to be polite but not really engage the situation. Overall i came all this way for wings and the wings i ate were the best i ever had. Thank you. Lunch combo #2, hot. Restaurant was a borderline ghost town but very clean looking. I would 100% return. read more

As someone who really really really likes wings and had many birthdays at BW3 I can confidently tell you that these wings are superb, I got the Garlic Pram Wings and 10/10 crispy goodness, soft and tender meat, and all soaking in the mouthwatering garlic sauce, I didn't get but can say I saw someone's order of chicken fingers and those fingers are HUGE!!! The group I was with got different levels of hot and I was told it was pretty accurate but they live for the heat and would be happy if there was an even hotter wing. The staff were incredibly friendly and were able to sit out big party quickly. The staff were also very attentive and did a great job! Not taking off any stars but the one little comment I have is I don't like how low the stall doors are in the bathroom. read more

Came here on a last minute "where can we go for wings?" @ the end of a shopping-across-the-border day. There were a handful of tables occupied when we walked in @ around 7:30pm on a Monday evening. Great staff (our server was blonde with green eyes, very attentive and helpful with our inexperienced ordering). We ordered 30 wings: 20 mild and 10 naked with spicy garlic parm on the side, large fries and fried dill pickle. We enjoyed the crispy non-breaded wings which were good size and perfectly cooked in our opinion. My table mates found the "mild" to have a slight kick and I didn't find the "spicy garlic parm" spicy at all, just good flavour. We have found a new resto to visit the next time we are in the area! There are other non-wing items on the menu, which we may have to try next time! read more

My sister suggested this place for wings. And the wings themselves were great. They were juicy crispy and flavorful. The restaurant inside needed a little revamp. The tables were a little dirty and the bowls they served the food in looked old. The servers were nice but a little chill. The fries were a little soggy and not salted. The blue cheese was good but the ranch tasted like it was out of a bottle. My kids enjoyed the Mac and cheese but the hot dog bun was ripped so hard for a kid to eat. It was suggested by the waitress we try the charred BBQ and it looked great and the sauce had a good flavor but I'm not what they charred on because they had a bitter gassy flavor. read more

The never can get my order right and the time before last they gave us wings to go without sauce on them... just plain wings with no sauce or anything. Service isn't very quick either for sit down. And when we went it wasn't during peaks times so the place was pretty vacant. Definitely better wing joints in WNY. read more

After exploring Niagara Falls, our family stopped into Duff's for lunch. My husband and I chose a Buffalo chicken salad and 5 boneless wings. My 5 year old had a kids cheeseburger meal with fries. The sauce on the boneless wings was so good, spicy BBQ. I like that the location did not skimp on the sauce or the blue cheese dipping sauce. The Buffalo chicken salad was enough for 2 and delicious. My son ate everything on his plate and could have had another burger. The fries were similar to McD, which we love! read more

100% recommended to this Resturant. Very clean and good food. I have to say special thank to Amy Server named Emmy. She was the best. She is Very kind and very knowledgeable about her job and her customer service was sooooo excellent. The host young lady was very nice no complain but I believed she should get more train regarding her job and understand when some one asked her I'm not happy with my place to seat she has to find the way or ask her supervisor instead of say no it's not possible and say sorry about it. I asked her I needs talked with manager unfortunately she just left the table and had not done anything about my request and I should find manager by myself. Besides this every thing eats was perfect. read more

Service and food were good. The wings are good, but slightly more pricey and no better than some of the other spots I had around Buffalo. I got medium. Nice sauce. Got pizza logs and chicken wing dip for appetizers and they were alright. Slightly more $$ than I think they were worth. I liked them but wouldn't order again for the price. You won't need extra chips. More than plenty in first basket. Could just balance it put with more dip. Everyone else also enjoyed their food. Menu had decent prices on some of the items. Nothing about this visit would keep me from coming back. read more

I wasn't excited about the wings being fried hard & I ordered mild which must mean no sauce. I saw another table had more red wings so maybe those were better. The place was full though so must be a local favorite. I'm from Mississippi where everything is a little more seasoned. read more

Duff's Famous Wings - Wings mild - Chicken Wings Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

Our family was visiting Niagara Falls. Of course we needed to try Duff's wings. We were exhausted and had no idea where we were. So we Door Dashed. Son and I had Beef Wreck . Three others had various wings. Reports were: maybe a tad more flavor to the Beef sandwich. Wings were well received and their sauces. Kids meals went down very smooth. Good experience. Great service from the restaurant and the Door Dash. Timing was well within reasonable. A bucket list trip. So won't place a future review. We now can say we ate the Wings from the first restaurant that invented the idea. read more

Really amazing wings crispy skin and juicy and had amazing flavor and great service the fries also reminded me of better McDonald's fries
