I have heard so many good things about this place so I had to check it out myself. App: Chicken buffalo dip: 2/5, wasn't a big fan of this as it had a very sweet flavor profile Entree: Half original medium, half lemon pepper traditional wings. Both were a 5/5 imo. The lemon pepper as a unique flavor of a little sweetness plus that lemon kick. Really good! The medium is described as "is hot" and I'd say that it was the perfect amount of spice. Little sister got the mild medium boneless which were also a great flavor if you don't want a little kick of spicyness to them. We sat outside for dinner and it was super nice as they have fans directly above the outdoor tables. They also had trivia night happening. The waitress was very kind but wasn't around a whole lot however she was very kind. The parking lot gets filled up very quickly and they do have multiple parking spot locations. The signs are very helpful! read more

Bottom line up front - meh. I went here this afternoon after seeing this business highlighted this morning by my local TV station, FOX 13 - WTVT. This is a sports bar that apparently serves wings. And they are supposed to be "famous wings." We will see. It was about 1130 when we got there and I was surprised to see quite a few people already in the place, usually an indication that a place is good. The menu was not too big or too small, another good sign (to me anyway) that they have mastered a simpler menu. I ordered 10 wings, which are quite pricey at $18.49. I chose two flavors, "Hot" and "Spicy Garlic Parmesan." Their menu states that the hot is "very very hot." I can eat heat, so I expected "very very hot." They came out hot (just cooked) and about an average size. But nothing about them smelled like they were "very very hot." They were cooked well, meaning they weren't overcooked or undercooked. They come out unbreaded. I looked them over and one side had Parmesan cheese shreds and the other was also wet. But Spicy? No. The 5 wings that were suppose to be hot tasted like ordinary buffalo sauce with no heat to it. The 5 wings that were suppose to be Spicy Garlic Parmesan were not spicy or garlic flavored. You could taste the Parmesan, but that is it. What a disappointment. Since the server did not come back after the food arrived, there was zero chance to address this, even if I had wanted to. To be honest, I usually won't fight with the server to make something better. I feel that if I get something from the kitchen, that they made my food the way they always make that kind of food. So, my point is that they really suck at making wings with sauce on them. Since this is the first time I've been here, I can't say if this version of their wings is the norm, or a one off. But, I don't live in the immediate area and this is just an ordinary sports bar with mediocre wings, so I likely won't come back. Should you? If you have other options, I'd probably not go out of my way to come here. There are plenty of other places to try. If I was a local and looking for a sports bar, this might be worth a few more visits to see if anything else on the menu is worth it., and to watch sports. They have a ton of TVs and from where I sat I could see no less than 5 TVs. One last note. Charley, the wings at this place sucked. You should be ashamed. I trusted you. read more

I've been to Duffs in NY and it's just as good down here!! Love the indoor and outdoor seating. Smaller parking but there's some more around the block. The wings are SO good, especially with the $1 up charge option of having them grilled for a few minutes, giving that delicious chargrilled flavor. $1 up charge for all flaps or drums. They do have lunch specials, which your wings come with a side and slight up charge to add a drink too. The spicy garlic parm and ranch side was all that was needed! Yum!!! Service was fast as well. read more

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

3.5 Stars. I made reservations online and I love that I could do it for the same day. I also called ahead to find out where their extra parking was, since the lot behind the building gets full quickly. The female who answered the phone was unsure that the restaurant was located in Seminole Heights, but once she was assured it was, she could tell me that the extra parking was behind the Pawn Shop next door. We were sat right away when we arrived. I think our waitress was new. Even after she entered everything into the handheld device she had, she still came back to the table to ask again how we wanted the chicken done in our quesadilla. She also brought my friend an IPA even though she had ordered a wheat beer (but my friend drank it anyway). Food took a little time to come out. I have to note here that the food runner was kind of surly. When I asked about a dipping sauce for the quesadillas, she's like "It doesn't come with anything!" but fortunately our waitress knew it was supposed to come with sour cream. So she brought us that. Then had to get the extra ranch dressing and carrots we had also ordered. We shared the 10 piece wing, done Medium (which they warn you ahead of time is hot). In my mind, it was the perfect amount of spiciness - just enough to make you sweat a little. I could have wished for plumper wings with a bit more meat, but they were still delicious. The bigger surprise was the quesadilla, which was excellent. It was chock full of grilled buffalo chicken meat, that was still moist and tender. It was served with potato chips, and although I've never that combo together, they were good. All in all, a few kinks to work out. My friend said she would not go back because it was too obvious that none of the workers wanted to be there. I'll just probably order to-go from now on, because I did enjoy my food. read more

WINGS!!! This place is great, not to far from the stadium nestled in the neighborhood Bone in wing special - they are crispy, big and flavorful. They make their own hot sauce and have a spicy ranch - worth every dip! Fried pickles with spicy ranch to start The parking is a bit small but make it work. This place would be perfect on a non rainy day sitting on the patio!! read more

The food here is amazing! I see why their wings are world famous. I can't say enough good things about the food and how flavorful it is. If you are in the area, you will not regret making a stop here. The waitress was also very kind and I recommend the buffalo wings or lemon pepper ones. It is a sports bar so perhaps during game day it may be a bit crowded but we came on a Saturday afternoon and we were seated immediately. Music is low so it's not overwhelming and you're able to speak at a normal volume to your party. Overall, I definitely recommend this place. I will be back. read more

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

Love Duff's especially being from WNY. Was happy to see they opened a restaurant in the Tampa area. The atmosphere and vibes reminds me of the locations in the buffalo area; along with some Tampa themes. Food was great along with the fries. Definitely not as good as the locations in buffalo though. Only reason it's not 5 stars was the service wasn't top notch. We booked a reservation for two and seemed like it didn't matter. Waited awhile for a table and couldn't sit anywhere to wait. Not the end of the world but not the best greeting. read more

Duff's Famous Wings - 10 Wings, 20 Wings, large LG Classic Fries - Chicken Wings Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Having attended college in Buffalo and lived in Western New York for years, I practically lived on wings, so my standards are incredibly high. After over 25 years in Florida, I can confidently say that Duff's Famous Wings in Tampa is the most authentic "Buffalo" wing I've ever had outside of Western New York. We started with the Bavarian pretzels and queso, which were very good. I patronized the original Duff's in Niagara Falls long ago, and these wings are exactly as I remember them--perfectly crispy and tossed in that signature sauce - we got the Mild Medium. The atmosphere has that classic pub/sports-bar vibe, and the outside seating is a great Florida touch. The service was top-notch; our server, Candace, was incredibly attentive and made sure our first visit was memorable. I was also impressed by how fast the wings made it to our table after ordering. All-in-all we ended up ordering 40 wings throughout the evening for the table. They have a decent draft beer selection and even some festive Christmas-themed mixed drinks right now. If you want the real deal, I would highly recommend Duff's Famous Wings. read more

As big fans of authentic Buffalo wings, we were thrilled to see Duff's Famous Wings--straight from Buffalo, NY--open a location right here in Tampa. The Seminole Heights spot is fun and inviting, decorated with a great mix of Buffalo and Tampa sports memorabilia that gives it a lively, hometown feel. Our waitress was incredibly nice and helpful, answering all our questions and making great recommendations. The wings were everything we hoped for--crispy, saucy, and truly legit Buffalo wings. We also tried the beef on weck, and it did not disappoint. The tender roast beef, kick of horseradish, and soft, salty kimmelweck roll made it an authentic taste of Western New York. To top it off, they had all the Buffalo favorites, including Labatt Blue--which I happily enjoyed a few of. Duff's is a fantastic addition to Tampa, and a must-visit for anyone craving real Buffalo flavor. We'll definitely be back. read more

I lived in Buffalo (Amherst) for 5 years, I was beyond excited for Duffs to come to Tampa. Now I can get my buffalo wing fix with a super solid traditional buffalo wing fried crispy and with the right flavor. When they are on point these wings should be in the conversation for one of the best hot wings in Tampa. They are still a whole notch below the original location in Amherst, just due to small inconsistencies in the crispness, sauciness, and spice/heat level. Ive had them when they're close to perfect and I have had them not sauced as well, not as spicy, not as crispy but NEVER bad. Fries are very thin and crispy, I like them. Reminds me of steak and shake fries. Good place to watch football games, beer buckets are good value. read more

I'll start off by saying that I definitely want to return and try more of the menu... plenty of their items sound tasty! But when we came here the other night, I was craving a burger. And when I saw they had a smash burger (my preferred burger style!), I was excited to try it... and was a little let down. We came in the middle of the week around 6 pm with our toddler, and it was decently busy... a bit loud, but not so much that we couldn't hear ourselves. We already knew what we wanted, so my husband ordered 10 wings in their mild-medium sauce (they brought us samples of both the mild and mild-medium to try -- I think next time we'll try the medium too). I ordered the smash burger and asked if that meant it would be cooked throughout and with no pink (the server said yes). We also ordered the kids chicken tenders for our son. Our food didn't take too long to arrive. But before even biting into my burger, I could tell this was not a real "smash burger" -- it just looked like a regular patty that's just a little thinner than the usual giant patties you get at restaurants. I took a bite, and immediately saw pink, so I apologetically sent it back (I hate doing that, but I hate pink ground beef more). While waiting for my burger to cook longer, my husband suggested I try a wing. And truly, that is where this place shines (shocker, I know). This was a very tasty wing. I almost always leave some stuff behind on the bones of wings, but not with these. I told my husband that I'd definitely like to come back for the wings alone. My burger was brought back out and thankfully cooked through this time. I ate it, and it was fine, but overall a forgettable burger. And that's OK... it's not called "Duff's Famous Burgers," after all. But for anyone like me who loves a good smash burger, you might just want to skip this one (Tampa Bay Brewing Company in Ybor has a great one, by the way). Our toddler was unimpressed with the chicken, but he's not even 2, so don't put much stock in that. It was a HUGE portion of food for a kid (honestly, I've seen adult portions at restaurants smaller than this), and the chicken looked nice and crunchy. But on this particular night, he only wanted their shoestring fries. He ate them from his plate AND from mine. So my son gives their fries 5 stars, haha. (And for any parents wondering, because I absolutely find myself searching for this information now, they do have high chairs.) read more

Service 5/5: sat at the bar and bartenders were very attentive, offered refills immediately. Fast and friendly Ambiance 5/5: great sports bar vibes! Decor is on point. Great place to watch a game Food 4/5: got the traditional wings, mild and spicy garlic parm. Sauces were delicious, and chicken was cooked well. The flavor did not carry into the meat of the chicken well. The flavor is carried by the sauce. So it's delicious if you continue to dip the chicken in sauce. But marinating the wings would make the chicken taste much better. Otherwise, good wings! Fries are bomb tho. I'd come back just for the fries and vibes! read more

This place is a nice go to for quality wings. They are consistent which is what you like to count on when it comes to a spot you frequent a lot. I will say they have the best lemon pepper in the game. Hands down no one beats their version. As far as buffalo goes I have been leaning on the extra hot because even though they say their medium is hot, it just does not bring the heat enough for me. They are very wishy washy on mixing flavours. Sometimes they will and sometimes they won't. Not sure why. They staff have always been friendly and kept the atmosphere a true sports bar feel. read more

An excellent place if you want watch sports and have good food and a variety of drinks. They had basketball football hockey and golf on all the TVs. Something for everybody. Our server was excellent and made great suggestions. Chicken Wings were crispy and cooked perfectly! We had the "garlic Parmesan" which was favored by the family. We also had the medium, which I will disagree with the heat level. I think the "medium buffalo" is a true blue medium. It was not hot at all. But very, very good. Three of us had the sandwich that they're known for. Which is a roast beef with au jus. The roast beef was really good however, the bread was soggy (all 3 of ours) so suggest they fix that. I just removed the bread and just ate the roast beef. The three of them liked their bloody Mary's! The iced tea is really good (fresh and strong). The crème brûlée doughnut is AMAZING! All four of split the one (so good). Definitely this place is worth coming back for! read more

First time into Duff's since they moved into this location after Ella's. We came in on a Sunday for lunch and we're immediately hit by a wave of Buffalo Bill's gear. Turns out, this is a chain from upstate New York. The Tampa location is their first in Florida and one of only 3 locations outside of NY. This place was very loud on football Sunday. We started with some of their frozen drinks, a creamsicle and a lemonade. I was disappointed in the portion size considering they are $12, but they are rather boozy. We ordered the buffalo shrimp to start and a southwest salad and wings to share. The food came out very quickly. The shrimp were just so so. The salad and the wings are where this meal really shined. The southwest salad was huge. Had I know it would be so large, we wouldve probably skipped the app and got half as many wings. The wings were very good. We got the hot garlic Parm, which were covered in fresh Parmesan, and the Cajun dry rub. The hot garlic parm was the favorite and the ranch was awesome as well. Overall, would come back, but will likely stick to wings and beer (and maybe another of those salads!) read more

Duff's Famous Wings - A Mixed First Impression I genuinely wanted to love Duff's. With all the hype surrounding it and the buzz of a new spot in town, my expectations were high. While the experience wasn't bad by any means, it didn't quite live up to the anticipation. Let me start by saying--we love wings. Not the breaded, saucy kind, but classic naked, extra crispy, dry-rubbed wings. We know Duff's is known for its Buffalo-style wings, so perhaps our preferences just don't align with their specialty. Still, when a place calls itself Duff's Famous Wings, I expect all varieties to be great, no matter the preparation. We made a reservation, which seems to be standard for now, although the restaurant wasn't full--perhaps that policy will change. We invited a friend to join last minute, and the staff had no issue accommodating us, which was appreciated. We started with the hummus, as I'm trying to make healthier choices. It came with pita, carrots, celery, and cucumbers. Unfortunately, one carrot was slimy and some of the veggies looked a bit past their prime. The hummus had a runny texture and an unexpected sweetness, topped with lemon pepper seasoning that, for me, didn't add much. It felt like a pre-packaged option--something I wouldn't order again. As for the wings, we tried 10 with Cajun rub and 10 naked, all requested extra crispy. They weren't quite as crispy as hoped but passable. The Cajun rub had a good level of spice and flavor. The naked wings, however, were just that--naked. They lacked the depth I was hoping for, though our guest found them decent. Overall, nothing really stood out or matched the hype we'd heard. Now, if Duff's signature is fiery Buffalo wings with heat levels ranging from hot to "make your eyes water," fair enough--that's their niche. But as a wing restaurant, I had hoped every style would impress. On the bright side, the service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The remodeled space looks fantastic, and the area has long needed a true sports bar. Duff's fills that role well. In short, we're glad Duff's is here, and we want to see it succeed. While this first visit didn't blow us away, we'll likely return--just not in a rush. Note to management: Parking in Seminole Heights is often a challenge. While Duff's offers a decent amount of parking, the lot across the street behind the Pawn Shop is poorly lit and poses a safety concern at night. Please ensure that this area is properly illuminated to improve visibility and safety for your patrons. read more

I got the single smash burger and wasn't impressed 5/10. Not a whole lot of meat, which in hindsight, I probably could've guessed based on the name. It comes with chips, but you have to pay $1 extra for fries. The burger lacked flavor and flair. It wasn't bad, it was just aggressively mediocre. Although, maybe that should be expected when you order a burger at a place that specializes in wings. The fries were crispy though. Also, it's unclear to me why the toppings of the burger were not in the actual burger. I had to manually put those on? Anyway, staff was kind and the place had a nice, lowkey vibe. I'd go back. read more

So excited for this location! We've been to the Buffalo location and our wings today definitely did not disappoint! They are currently by reservation only and we got there about 90 mins after they opened for the day. They weren't too busy. By the time we were leaving at 7, the place was definitely staring to get lively. I went with the sweet Cajun wings and they were awesome: crispy, saucy and flavorful. They've got lots of TVs and even more outside seating, so this place will be the perfect place to catch a game during football season (but beware: I'm more than sure the real deal Bills fans will make this their official watch bar soon) Oh! And they did a little renovation upstairs! Speakeasy style and the perfect place to grab a drink while you wait or after you finish eating! All in all - it felt like being back in Buffalo and I'll be retuning to the Tampa location regularly for sure! read more

Hattricks remains the best spot for wings in all of Tampa Bay. Duff's tried hard, but it's just really not very close. I would rate their brussel sprouts higher than all 4 flavors of wings I tried. I came in at about 5:30pm on a Friday. It was packed. Like literally every table was taken. The bar area is pretty small. Maybe it seats like 15ish people. First up, I tried the $13.99 brussel sprouts. They were really pretty good a solid 7/10. You have to like blue cheese though or you won't like these. I wish they were a little more burnt and charred, but overall pretty good. Up next, I had an espresso martini. Oh my goodness, I'm pretty sure I've had better ones from frat parties at 3am. I wanted to spit it out it was so bad. Literally the worst one I've ever had in my life 0/10. I also tried a $6.50 Barrie Haus Beer Family Tradition. It felt like being back in Vienna so I approve of that beer. You're only allowed to split wings once. So here are the options: 5 wings $9.99 10 wings $17.49 20 wings $33.99 30 wings $46.99 So even if you order 30 wings you can only pick 2 sauces. For this reason I ordered two orders of 10 wings and tried out: Cajun (dry rub) - Not much flavor at all 2/10 Lemon Pepper - Best one a solid 7/10 typically my favorite at any wing spot Hot Honey - 2nd best 6/10 Spicy Garlic Parm - 0/10 it's like eating cheese flakes. Hard pass Oh and as for service let's see: -Forgot to bring me silverware -Were pouring beers over cocktails while trying to both at the same time -Dropped glasses -Very slow, you have to waive at the bartenders constantly -Had no idea how to print a receipt No reason to come here if you're anywhere near Hattricks. read more

Was super impressed that we would have benefited from reservations on a normal Tuesday night! Yes, it's a sports bar, but the volume wasn't bothersome. The bones of the beloved Ella's are still there, but they've done a solid job in making this place their own. Service was incredibly quick and nice after we waited a little while for our table. The drinks menu was very interesting with local and new options including some draft options I'll have to try next time. Food was at our table hot and delicious soon after ordering, even with the crowd. Beef on Weck was delicious and my friend really enjoyed his Buffalo Chicken Wrap. Fries are very good- super thin! The lava cake was more cake than lava- maybe chocolate ganache on the plate would have balanced it better. Big portion though! Will definitely be back. read more

Duff's Famous Wings - Southwest Salad in an XL wrap!!! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I stopped into Duff's solo on a busy afternoon and made the rookie mistake of not having a reservation (which they clearly encourage). Ended up at the bar since the parking lot--like the dining area--was overwhelmed and poorly laid out. Once I sat down, I was promptly ignored by both bartenders. One wandered around aimlessly, the other pretended I was invisible. No eye contact, no greeting, nothing. It felt less like I was a guest and more like I owed them an apology for showing up. Eventually, one of them took my order with the enthusiasm of someone clocking in for jury duty. Again--no eye contact, no small talk, just... going through the motions. The bar was sticky. The décor is full-on Buffalo pride, which I can respect, but the vibe didn't match. I ordered a Yuengling and 10 medium wings because the menu claimed that they were hot. They weren't. I also asked for extra blue cheese because I like to really smother my wings. When the wings arrived, the presentation was uninspiring. The sauce had pooled into a strange soup at the bottom of the plate, and the wings themselves were... fine. Not terrible, not memorable. Honestly, I've had better at Hooters. The "extra" blue cheese came in two sad little ramekins--neither full, neither impressive and neither with the same amount inside. Given how much Buffalo natives pride themselves on good blue cheese, this was a letdown. Overall, it was a pretty boring experience. Between the lackluster service, mediocre wings, and underwhelming atmosphere, there's not much drawing me back to Duff's. Maybe it was just an off day, but next time I'll take my cravings elsewhere. read more

Went in for a late dinner this week. We had the wings, chips and queso and the chicken ceasar wrap. They make the chicken to order so it comes hot, but with cold caeser salad ingredients. So weird. Generally it's cooked and chilled chicken. The wings were wings. Nothing exceptional but we'll done. The bartender was pleasant and quick while the place itself is comfortable and perfect if you want to watch all the sports possible. The best thing was the queso but it couldn't overcome a midrange meal. read more

Service was great. Food was delivered hot and fast. We went on a weekday so it was crowded yet. I love sitting in the outside area when it's cooler but the inside atmosphere is just as nice.

Several years ago we went to Buffalo, NY, for a football game. As part of our tourism we hit up Duff's. We enjoyed the food and service so much we went back a second time before flying home. When we discovered Duff's expanded here we were excited to go. That's where the comparison ends... We were greeted enthusiastically upon entering and provided seating for 3 adults, a 6 year old and a toddler. We ordered beverages and an appetizer of fried pickles, then scoped out the menu. The prices were higher than expected, especially for Central Florida, The adults all ordered the Beef on Weck sandwich, which we all thoroughly enjoyed on our trip to Buffalo. We also ordered a 20 count of wings (which = $1.70 a piece!) to share, choosing Lemon Pepper and Medium Buffalo. Fries and onion rings came with the sandwiches. The wee ones were ordered kids meals. None of us thought the Beef on Weck tasted "great" even with the horseradish and/or au jus sauce provided on the side. Sorely disappointed there. The wings were well made and of average size. I was okay with the flavor of the Lemon Pepper, but the others did not like what they considered too much sugar(?). The onion rings were basic in flavor, as were the fries, and crispy (not soggy/greasy). Our waitress seemed nice enough, but failed in a few areas. No salt was brought to the table (for the onion rings and fries), or even inquired towards us. I retrieved it from the bussing station. There were only a few napkins in the bucket at our table and I had to abscond with the napkins from the table next door. While eating I flipped through their little daily/weekly specials carousel at the table and noticed that one special, before 4pm (we were there at 3pm), included a Beef on Weck and 5 wings for $21. Had the waitress pointed this out to us we would have saved about $15 on our bill! Anytime we have eaten out and there were unbeknown specials happening the waiter/waitress has always pointed it out to us. $15 is $15! We did order a slice of chocolate cake which was good. Needless to say we were all a little disappointed in the overall experience and it could've been better (2 stars). I believe we are one and done, but don't let that stop you from trying it yourself if inclined. read more

Finalllly made it to Duff's and you can just go ahead and start calling me a regular. We went on a Friday early evening with no reservations and our 2 year old, which I was nervous about since it's a sports spot, but I was happy to see plenty of other kids and that they converted the upstairs to 21+ only. They did a beautiful job renovating the beloved Ella's - love how the space turned out. We were seated right away and skipped the apps to go straight to business - the wings. We got 10 medium and 10 Cajun dry rub and they were everything! Super crispy and flavorful, the dry rub had a nice kick to it. I also loved the buffalo sauce and ranch and blue cheese. I'm a sucker for a good sauce, and you can tell they make them in house. The fries were also super crispy and thin. Overall - great service, amazing wings, family friendly. Will be back soon read more

Duff's Famous Wings - Medium wings, Cajun dry rub wing and fries - SO GOOD!! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I've waited to leave a review because I imagined I had a one-off experience. I've now had several similar experiences at Duff's that are kind of comical, but also completely unexpected from a bar/restaurant, whichever they'd like to be called. 1. First issue was going to sit one evening while they had been open a few months. We sat upstairs and the heat/humidity was incredibly uncomfortable. We sat at a table in the middle of the bar, which was a bummer for me because I'm hard of hearing and we mentioned this to the hostess. They said "sorry" and sat us and walked away. I think there may have been two servers for the entire upstairs with 1 poor bartender pouring drinks and also serving. Our bill was over $60 and the food was good, but the environment was trash and the workers didn't exude happiness/friendliness in the slightest form. 2. Ordering takeout at this place is a round robin nightmare. I've ordered takeout before, maybe two or three times. No issues with the first times ordering, though it's always a question who to talk to, to actually get the togo order because the hostess stand is unmanned. 3. Called again today (9/14) because the online menu (through Toast, which is a third party service) is showing orders of 30 or 50 wings, thinking to myself, I get it's Sunday but there's no chance they're updating their menu for football game days. Surprise, they are! If you want less 30 wings, you have to go in person to order. It's 2025, y'all. It's about time we talk about the management of this place and the inefficiency they try to pass off as a bar/restaurant. They're new, so I'd really like to see some improvement, but I'm skeptical as every single time I try to get food here, it's anything but smooth and so today, I'm taking my business somewhere else unfortunately. I really want to like Duff's, but I think management needs a lesson in common sense. read more

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

I really enjoyed the wings here. 10 wings for $17.49, I chose the "medium is hot" sauce for 5 and the "spicy bbq" sauce for the other 5 wings. The wings were excellent and cooked to perfection. The medium is hot were very hot and had me sweating so I can only imagine the intensity level of the other wings Duff's offers. I ordered the blind tiger to drink and it was a tasty beverage. We had a reservation and sat inside. The service was great, very attentive and accommodating staff. I love all the sports decor at Duffs. I def hope to come back to catch a game and try some more wings. read more

We've been in a few times. Reservations required... seems excessive but I get it especially during football season. First few times we went in the food was good, very busy -- crowded environment. The wings are good but not knock your socks off amazing in my opinion. The other menu items, are also just ok. We have tried many of the appetizers and found the to be ok. Nothing to brag again. Parking is a nightmare. The have tiny lot or you have to park blocks away... I don't mind but if you have a family or someone who can't walk a long distance it's inconvenient. Our last trip was a total disaster. The hostess asked us where we'd like to sit... my husband picked the outdoor area, but there were only large tables available- she said it was fine gave us menus and moved on. We waited more than ten minutes for a waitress and our waitress (who we've had and tipped well previously) was not thrilled and told us we had to move because they were going to get busy. She literally made us wait until a small table became available and then waited on us. She sent the manager out.. he apologized and took money off of our bill which was unexpected and kind but the reason we were there was for my husband to watch the game which he missed because our "new" table was no where near a tv. Meanwhile all of the large tables remained open for the duration of our visit. Just an inconvenient situation and not worth making the effort to drive out there again. As a customer just don't feel like it was handled correctly. read more

My family had a late lunch at Duff's last Saturday. We were seated quickly and drinks arrived within a couple minutes. After we ordered the food came out quickly and cooked perfectly, the wings were crispy on the outside with the inside being moist and tender. Sauces were good and the right amount of spice. Highly recommend Duffs. read more

Well, as promised... we came back for the chips & queso! Even though the chips were a little on the stale side, it didn't stop us from going full beast mode on that queso. We probably could've used a straw for the last bit...not even kidding. My husband leveled down to medium wings this round (last time he did medium hot)...and the heat? Chef's kiss. ‍Just the right kick without needing a fire extinguisher. I decided to shake things up and ordered the sweet Cajun wings instead of my usual... and wow. Sweet, spicy, and ridiculously good. I may have a new go-to. Of course, we couldn't skip the iconic fries... and yes, we got another side of queso for dipping because why not live a little? P.S. To the owner who always responds to the yelp reviews...y'all really had my blood orange Paloma waiting... maybe two of them Now that's what we call hospitality. We'll definitely be back again soon (with stretchy pants and straw in hand). read more
