Sarasota was way overdue for a wing joint & Duff's certainly did not disappoint. I go every weekend & it's always been excellent, these are simply the BEST Buffalo Wings. if you want the best hot wings, look no further. Great staff, super great bartenders, & the best wing cooks around. Family friendly too! read more

Yes! We just moved here and have been wanting to visit Duffs! I went with the Traditional Crispy Hot and it was outstanding. Great flavor and just the right amount of sauce. If you want extra sauce, they will gladly give it to you. What I really like is when you ask for crispy wings, they are actually crispy. Honestly, many of these other wing joints don't understand this concept. Great friendly service and I will absolutely be back! read more

Duff's Famous Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Stopped in for a later lunch and surprised only one person at the bar and us at a table. Service was good as we were the only ones there and only one server/bartender I'm guessing. It's a nice layout lots of televisions everywhere since it's a sports bar. While we didn't. Have wings the Beef on Weck was good. The chicken finger sandwich (grilled) was just a long strip of chicken and I expected different so it was unimpressive. Other than that it was ok guess if we're in the area again we might try the wings. read more

I love that Duff's is in Sarasota now! I used to go to Duff's every time I had to go to Buffalo on business and have always enjoyed their wings. Last night was my third time there in three weeks. The wings and the Service are great, the place is always clean and the ambience is very upbeat. Unfortunately, I am only giving three stars because I believe their kitchen is not functioning very well. Last night was the third time in three visits that I had to wait an unusually long time for my wings. I was at a large table last night and people ordered both wings and other items on the menu and my plate was actually the last one to be delivered after everybody had started to eat their dinner. Tuesday nights are a wing special night, 10 wings for $10 which was a great surprise as I went there last night, not expecting it. I do not understand if you're gonna run a wing special why it would still take 25 minutes for 10 wings. I normally get them well done and sometimes expect to wait 15 to 20 minutes, but last night, based on my previous experience on the time it takes wings to come out of the kitchen, I did not ask them to be well done... And it took longer! This is the first chicken wing specialty restaurant that cannot seem to cook wings in a realistic amount of time. I'm surprised that they are not par cooked so they take less time when they get an order. I will go back, but I will also tell folks who asked me about the place that they need to be patient and not go there hungry. I hope they really get their act together in the kitchen! read more

This wasn't our favorite but we went when they were pretty newly open. It seemed like a lot of their food is like sysco type. To me, dressings is one of the most important things at a wing place and theirs were not great. Service was fine and atmosphere is also fine except tables are very crowded into a small space. read more

Came back for my sons birthday party. We had 19 people. We originally had a reservation for 17 but another couple joined us. We asked to add another table and there were others available but they refused. So two people had to sit in a booth near by. REALLY!!! All the wings were great. The Beef on Weck had a lot of chewy meat and I wouldn't recommend. The service was not good. Tables were not cleared,buckets for eaten wings were not emptied and no one asked how our food was. They did a great job decorating inside and they have an extensive lines of draft beer served in cold glasses. Being from Buffalo we enjoyed all the Buffalo memorabilia. read more

Honestly, I had higher expectations for this place as far as the wings go. There was one flavor that our group got that was really good outside of that. The other wings I have had better other places I will however give this place another try when I get a chance. read more

Great wings, great vibes, perfect sports bar energy Duff's Wings in Sarasota is exactly what you want in a neighborhood sports bar: energetic atmosphere, wall-to-wall TVs, and a crowd that's clearly there to enjoy the game, good drinks, and even better food. The place has a cool sports memorabilia vibe--jerseys and framed pieces everywhere--so it feels like a true hangout spot for fans. The wings are the star of the show--crispy, juicy, and loaded with flavor. Tons of sauce options if you like it mild, hot, or "why did I do this to myself" hot. Portions are solid and perfect for sharing while watching a game. The menu overall is stacked too--burgers, wraps, apps--so everyone can find something they're in the mood for. The bar setup is legit. Great beer selection, plenty of taps, and you can actually watch multiple games at once without craning your neck. Staff was friendly and quick even when the place was busy, which is always a win. Overall, this is what Sarasota needed!!! Duff's is a great spot to catch a game, hang with friends, and crush some wings. Chill vibe, lively crowd, and consistently good food. If you're in Sarasota and looking for a go-to sports bar, this is an easy choice. read more

I REALLY wanted to like this place, I really did. We love wings and this is close to home, but it was a real disappointment. From the second we walked in (2pm on a Friday) it was real quiet, only 2 tables and 4 ppl at the bar yet we didn't get greeted and stood around for a few minutes until someone acknowledged us and told us to sit wherever. We each ordered a beer, prices significantly higher than surrounding places, $5.50 for a 13oz mug of Yuengling (this is the price for a pint anywhere else -if it reaches that high). We definitely wanted to try the wings so we ordered 10 wings ($18.50) and a side of fries ($3.99). We also got an appetizer of fries pickles ($10.49) as a suggestion from the bartender, these were a small bowl of pre-made frozen pickle chips with runny ranch served on the side. The wings were tiny (see pic) with minimal flavor and the fries were shoe string style but were missing a sprinkle of salt. Pictured is $30.50 worth of food (wings $18.49, fries $3.99, Coors banquet draft $8). We found it to be very overpriced and not worth the hype at all. The ambiance wasn't worth it and the food certainly wasn't either. read more

Food was average the couple times I've been, wings were not overly flavorful and there top 3 hot options are nothing to sweat about. The servers are all very nice and helpful tho with good service. They do offer all the sport games so that is a plus, more of a sports bar with a restaurant. The one thing I've had that was decent was their chicken sandwich with a sauce from the wing menu. The drink prices were pretty reasonable. read more

So glad that a great WNY restaurant is open here in Sarasota! We stopped in for a late lunch, and were promptly greeted. Put in an order for drinks and Brussel sprouts appetizer (delicious!). We ordered the lunch beef on weck and mild wings - the wings were done to perfection. They asked what sort of dressing we wanted - bleu cheese, of course (that's not a question back home)! The BoW was good, but we didn't feel the roll was a 100% WNY kimmelweck - the roll did not have the texture of WNY rolls, and the salt was white, not translucent. They also didn't automatically offer horseradish. It was a good sandwich, but not a "10". Overall, we are happy that Duff's is here, and we will return - most likely for wings, as they are among only a few places that know how to make them very close to WNY-style. read more

Called in a order and when I got there the order was never sent to the kitchen but Annalla Rissman step in and apologize for the mistake. even though it was not her that took the order, the food was good. so I wanna say thank you Annalla for her help and get my food out in a timely manner read more

I've been anxiously waiting to try Duff's and decided to go for lunch today. Arrived around noon to a sign that they open at 3. Strange time to open, but ok...We ran some errands then came back at 3:00. Ordered some wings, all drums, and a beef on weck, salad, and some chicken tenders. The first plate they brought was either someone else's or they just messed up. They took it away then brought my wings and fries. The fries were cold. The carrots were oxidized. Use some cold water and they won't turn white. Later my wife's salad arrived. Not a fan of Frisée lettuce but that's more on us. Then my daughter's chicken tenders arrived. Literally just 3 chicken breasts breaded. They belonged more on a sandwich than as a tender. These were huge. Then the beef on weck arrived. I'm not exaggerating. The food all came out randomly over 5 - 10 minutes. I'm more a fan of...we all are eating together. Bring the food together. I guess I had really built this place up in my mind, but the wings were just ok. Not very big and over cooked. I've had better at Hooters. I REALLY wanted these to be something special, but it's just another average wing place. I would say I'd be back just to drink beer, but at 8.50 for a Yuengling I'll likely pass. So if you're looking for a spots bar with cold beer and average wings. This place will not disappoint. read more

We've been twice now, and both visits have been excellent! On our second trip, I could tell they've already dialed things in even more -- especially the speed in the kitchen. That kind of improvement this early says a lot. The wings were extra crispy just like we requested, which I really appreciate. That's a huge pet peeve of mine when restaurants ignore that request -- but not here. They nailed it. We're spicy people, so we went with Extra Hot and Death. The Death definitely brings a serious kick, and we loved it. I also respect that they're taking the time to get everything right before fully rolling into lunch and to-go service instead of rushing it. That attention to detail shows. Stoked to have them here in Sarasota -- we'll definitely be back often! read more

The wings and burgers are absolutely the best in town, especially the Barbecue Grilled!! The entire staff has been incredible on every single visit so far. If I had any issues with Duffs is, they advertise 2 Bars, and the back bar with great TVs and high tops has been closed EVERY TIME!!! And they close way too early, so dont make that the stop for a game after 10pm. Great locals night on Thursday with 25% off!!! read more

I knew I was in trouble when my shoes were sticking to the floor as I walked to the booth. I knew I was in even more trouble when I used the bathroom for it was filthy as in "never been cleaned" filthy. The clincher was the food. I have never seen anything that bad on a plate - it was not edible. There was some stuff in the bathroom that looked more appetizing. My wife was able to eat to eat her wings - we found someone else's in the parking lot. Don't waste your time unless you like Taco Bell. One star is one too many. read more

Gave this place a shot while visiting from New Jersey. We came with high hopes for these wings and we were not disappointed. Absolutely delicious, the sauce is so flavorful. We will 100% return anytime we visit the area! Only con was that we had a digital gift card and weren't able to use it. We redeemed the card for this business specifically after it was recommended to us and since we dont live in the area it was disappointing that we couldnt use it. Hopefully next time we can sort out whatever the issue was and use it. Highly recommend otherwise! read more

Disappointed. The wings were either overcooked or just really dry. The flavor on the Char-BBQ was great but the wings were hard to eat, too dry and tough. The boneless wings were also overcooked and dry. The flavor was mild-medium but not saucy, it must have been a dry rub. The room we were in had at least 3 TVs all with their volumes up high. Very odd, it forced people to try and talk over the tv noise. Most restaurants have the games on but but the volume. They need the table speakers that Glory Days has if the patrons want to hear the games. read more

It's silly that this place has a lower rating compared to other wing spots. It runs circles around the other wing spots in the area. Great decor inside and perfect for sports watching. read more

Haven't had really good wings since I went to Duff's in Buffalo. These were just as good as I remember, cooked to crispy perfection. Fries were very good too. Onion rings were a little greasy for my liking. My husband fell in love with the beef on weck, which did take a while to arrive but was worth the wait. I would definitely recommend Duff's if you're looking for real buffalo wings! read more

After 5 months from our initial visit in February, we gave Duffs another try - the place was packed due to a Buffalo Bills promotion, but we were seated quickly and our server was friendly, although overwhelmed with the busy back bar area. Wings - just so so, couldn't tell if they were finished on the grill as requested (for an additional charge). Caesar Salad - quite tasty dressing, good amount of parm Smashburger - way, way overcooked to almost a crisp (not in a good way) - Fries - hot, crispy With other options for wings in the area, Duff's does not call us back when the wing urge strikes... read more

Absolutely FIRE! I got the hottest wings, and WOW they were absolutely the best! I love that real fiery taste, and these definitely brought the heat! No sweating over here I LOVE the fire! The drinks were fantastic too, and I got the huge pack... and honestly, I could've eaten even MORE! LOL! Everything was delicious, and I'll definitely be coming back for more. Duff's Famous Wings brought the heat, and I loved every bite! read more

Wafts of cooking oil smells at the front door but surprisingly clean and good smelling inside. Server super friendly and efficient. Wings? Meh. Really, nothing special. They were just okay. They came out quick and weren't burn your mouth hot. Like had they been pre cooked ahead and held until seasoning? Not sure. Boneless wings like chicken nuggets. Tasted fine but not enough for us to comeback. read more

Really like smasher (smash burger), wings and pizza logs. Very cool new sports pub. Lots of big screens. Super welcoming staff comfortable atmosphere. Give Duff's a try. We did last week have returned a few times since. read more

Wings were arguably the worst we've ever had. Wine cost was $10 for happy hour. Really? No wonder no one was there. Good luck. read more

Decided to try it again since the manager was kind enough to reply, and the service was much better with attentive server and staff. Beef on wheck very tasty ( although in my opinion should not need to pay up charge for fries ). We sat in bar area and had lots of good energy - nice sports bar feel. My only other thought is 10 wings for 18.00-20 for 34.00 is a little steep for a wing place read more

Lea our waitress was awesome very friendly. Food was awesome We are from Buffalo the food tasted just like home.

Arrived about 6:15 without a reservation, our bad. Was told about 30 minutes. Not bad, it was busy. One hour and 15 minutes later we were seated. About the wings. We are frequent "flyers" at Duff's on Sheridan in Buffalo, we know what they should be. The medium were mild, not much different than the mild. Could have been crispier too. They were good, just not Duff's good. Need some improvement, but i think in another month they'll get it down. We ordered the large string fries, yikes should have stayed with the small. Three people would have more than enough. We'll be back, with a reservation next time. read more

Ok. I AM BFL0!!!! WE duffs but the service DEFINITELY is NOT " Family" like you get when you go to Bflo!!!!!!. "We don't have blue cheese crumbles." YES YOU DO!!!!!!
