Male server just stared at the wall the whole time...creepy. He wasn't very kind either. Attitude. Also pretty sure the tip do not go to worker. I tried to give a cash tip to one of the bartenders and the manager took it. Food was good but too expensive for an average joe. read more

Duffs, a US wing house has at least 3 locations that I know of in Toronto. All run by a pair of brothers. I have eaten at all 3 but primarily eat at bayview av jus south of eglinton. Have been going there for probably 20+ years. Strong 4. Service is always good. Wings are cooked consistently fine. Not big or small. Ambiance could use a refresh. Been the same all the time I have been going. Home of the hottest sauce you will find. Armageddon. Suggest you get it in a cup on the side and just dip a bit. Be prepared. I tried it once, nope never again. They have tshirts that read on the back MEDIUM IS HOT, and that is right. They aren't kidding. I've never been able to get past medium hot. And before you call me something worse than a chicken you have to verify you went there and tried them yourself. Small outdoor patio. If it means anything to you now that we have our elbows up, Obama prefers duffs over the anchor bar for wings when he's in Buffalo. read more

Wow not the best. Suggestions find a better place for wings. 2 different wings medium hot and honey garlic Sauce good wings overcooked to the point they were crispy like tough chicken meat. I should have sent the wings back Not ever going to Duffs Bayview ever again read more

Had the hottest Amageddon wings 30 wings later 911 was called... lol kidding. Super big wings for the small to medium price. its to bad they don t have all you can eat wing night if you buy a pint. read more

Went to this place for wings and the food was pretty good. Beer is cheap and ambience is nice. Would go again if just looking for wings

I often drive up Bayview on my way home from work and I always notice the patio at Duff's to be usually full. Hmmm, they must be good. I finally gave in and decided to give them a try. Darn, I was hoping to get a table on the patio but they were all full. Most of the tables inside were also occupied. This food must be good! The lighting and decor inside looked really dated but there were two tables available near the entrance so I chose one of them. A friendly server showed up soon after and took my order of Honey Garlic Wings (suggested by my server). A bowl of thick carrot sticks showed up first, along with napkins, Wet Wipes, and a bucket for bones, all the necessities for eating wings. The wings showed up a few minutes later, after I had started on the carrots. The wings were okay, with just enough honey to coat the wings. They were a decent size but beyond the honey garlic coating, they lacked some flavour. Even some salt and pepper would have helped. Maybe one of the other available flavours would have been better. Maybe. Overall, I've had better wings. The small patio seems to be the preferred seating area, maybe because inside feels a bit dated and dark. I would think twice before coming back. read more

Crispy delicious, wings kinda small but tasty. The staff are very friendly every time. Love the variety they offer. Fast prep as well.

Had lunch here today with the family and the place was empty. Inside atmosphere was old and not very appealing. Service was not bad. We all had 1 lb of wings each, 3 different flavours (lemon pepper, medium buffalo, honey garlic) Food was ok, but I have had better. Would not go back as there are better places for wings. read more

80 fucking dollars for a shit dinner. On pound of wings is $20 and a total of 8 wings that looked like they were ripped off of a malnourished chicken. Not only that, but the fries and Mac and cheese wedges were cold and tasted like ass. Fuck you duffs wings. read more

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!! The wings were tiny, old, dry, and hard to chew. For all I know, they could have been reheated in a microwave after staying in the fridge for 3 days. That's how gross the wings are at this place. AVOID AVOID AVOID by all means! While service was good and we were treated like valued customers, the wings were awful. Just awful. We wasted $60 on 2 pounds of wings, mozzarella sticks, a bottle of Perrier, and a pint of beer, and left disappointed. Management at Duff's Famous Wings on Bayview needs to be ashamed for serving such gross wings. Do yourself a favour and go to the Leaside Pub at 190 Laird Dr. Their wings are bigger, taste better, and cost only 75 cents per wing. read more

Oct 13/19: Not sure what was famous about Duff's Famous Wings. It was a Sunday morning & the place was deserted. We were the ONLY customers in the place. The food was only ok. Chicken fingers & fries. The fingers were brought in, not made in house. Decent dill dipping sauce with it however. The onion blossom was kinda tasteless & a small portion for the $9.00 price tag. Service level was good, no complaints there. Not rushing to do this one over. read more

For a place that's well known for their wings I felt like it was a bit of a letdown - the sauce completely overpowered the wings and was way too sweet and not to mention they were super tiny! I would've appreciate if they were a bit more meaty to it. The restaurant is pretty dimmed but the service was fairly quickly and relaxed. read more

Duff's Famous Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Oh Duff's... What would I do with my life without you and your ginormous delicious wings? Yes, Duff's wings are MASSIVE. And despite what anyone else says they have the best wings in the city. I lived next to the Crown and Dragon for 2 years and although their wings are good too the wings at Duff's are over and beyond better. The sauces are great, even their dry wings are excellent. And you know how they serve vegetable sticks on the side? The blue cheese dip has chunks (CHUNKS!) of blue cheese in them. My tummy always leaves happy. Have been going to this location for years and the place seems to just get better and better. PS: this location gets busy and it is small. Prepare to wait. read more

Duff's Famous Wings - 5 lbs of wings between to people... Tons of leftovers. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Had a craving for wing so I gave them a call for a pick up order. 2 lbs of wings, half plain and half medium, small fries and some gravy. I told the girl on the phone I'd be there in 30 mins. Got there 30 mins later and my order was ready. Drove with the smell of the wings lingering in my truck all the way home. That made me even more hungry. The wings were good. Nicely cooked. The wings weren't the biggest but they also weren't the smallest. Overall very good. My only complaint are the fries. Nothing special about them and a bit pricey for what you get. read more

Great tasty wings, and their Armageddon sauce is apparently 850,000 Scovilles. That said, my inhuman constitution went through 2 pounds of Armageddon easily. They need a hotter sauce for creatures like myself. In the end though, tasty as hell, a great environment, and very friendly service. Come have some wings! Do it now! read more

When you have the word "famous" on your business name, you either setting yourself up for greatness or failure. In the case of Duff's, its the former and not the latter fortunately. We came here on a Thursday night, a pre Super Bowl get together, to try their "famous" wings. Unfortunately, it was a little challenging getting to this place because of construction along Eglinton. Also parking can be problematic as only street parking is available with a P Lot parking or side street parking available along Bayview and Millwood. It was fairly busy when we got there at 7pm but we were able to get a table for 5 without any wait. Unfortunately for us, it was located right by the sliding door in the front with a little draft coming in. We didn't mind it too much. Once everyone in our party arrived, we were able to order right away. We ordered the 5 lbs of wings with 3 flavours for $54. We decided to go with honey garlic, BBQ and Mild Medium for the sauces. Also we ordered the Sweet Potatoes Fries and regular fries as sides. Both of the fries were average at best. I didn't like the Sweet Potatoes fries as it wasn't crispy and was very soft. I usually like breaded wings but for the non breaded variety, Duff's wings are very good. The wings were meaty and sauces on point. I felt the best sauce was the Honey Garlic as our group didn't try their spicy variety. Service was above average as our order came out fairly quick and they did check up on us, once in a while. They have various TVs throughout the restaurant and at the time, they had both the Raptors and Leafs games on. This place lives up to their name and it is highly recommended! BTW, they are other items on the menu but who comes here to order anything besides wings? #14 of 2018 read more

What's better than a Chicken Wing Night? Nothing. You have a great atmosphere, Crispy Wings, Spicy Sauces, and fun apps! Duffs and specifically Duffs on Bayview is the only place that I will go to for Wings. I've been here so many times and always have the best experience. I'm always greeted with smiles and a great table. I always start off with the Blazin Onions; Spicy beer battered onion petals, served with ranch dip. I've had other apps there too but to be honest they're all very average and taste like deep fry. The Blazin Onions taste great. For Wings, I've had the Regular and the Bone-less. If you want a mess-free evening then go for the boneless. Duff's saucy fingers are deep fried chicken fingers, smothered in any wing sauce served with fries and my favourite dip (dill). What I usually go for is 2 pounds, the medium and the hot honey garlic. The Medium is spicy and the medium hot is very spicy so know your limits. I love the tanginess of the wing sauce and it goes great with the dill dipping sauce. The hot honey garlic is another favourite, it has a little kick to it but there's some sweetness from the honey. I love that the wings are massive and they are fried to perfection. This place is the BEST. Hands Down! Keep Eating, Angela read more

Wings wings wings!! Tasty wings at good prices. Casual and very friendly atmosphere where you feel like family. Not a wing fan? There are alternative options like a strawberry spinach salad which are also tasty - I enjoy that they give you the dressing on the side as I often find salads like this overdressed for my taste. I wouldn't come here as a destination for non wing meals, but if someone is in your party that doesn't like them they have options. If you've got a hankering for wings and are in the neighborhood, Duff's is a great option! read more

Wing lovers on either side of the border know what's crackin... This place is a contender as the original buffalo wing joint. IDK which came first.. If this place is the chicken or the egg.. But believe you me... They've perfected the craft. This place is a "purist" wing joint. Meaning they fry their wings with no batter, bread crumb or coating, served with a vinegary hot sauce. I like my wings well done and crispy.. And ordered them so.. And they delivered with some frizzle fried chicken with the skin crispy like a cracker. I chose the second spiciest sauce, the "death" option. It was not painfully spicy it had flavor and was well received. I don't care if this place was the first second or latest to fry chicken wings and dunk em in hot sauce... But I do wish that there was a duffs for every Starbucks. read more

Duff's has been on my hit list for a while now. It's always advertised as one of the best wings in the city on BlogTO and other sites. While I am by far not a wings connoisseur, I do crave it from time to time. I arrived into the restaurant on a Thursday and there were a decent amount of people. We were brought to our table - the server was not particular the most friendly but it was adequate. We decided to order a pound of lemon pepper and a hot honey garlic wings (which comes with celery and dipping sauce - I LOVES THEIR DILL SAUCE!). Along with some large sweet potato fries. It took about 10 minutes but we got our wings. My first impression was that the wings were not as large as I expected a place which calls it buffalo wings to be. The pound probably has 12 wings or so. The hot honey garlic was not very honey garlicky - it tasted almost like a medium at most places. I was disappointed by this flavour. The lemon pepper was better in my opinion - especially paired with their dill dipping sauce! It was nicely flavoured and I would have it again. The sweet potato fries were good as well but it's hard to screw that one up! It was definitely a large portion though for the fries. Overall, was not impressed by the size of the wings - and hot honey garlic does not reflect the name. But the lemon pepper wings and the sweet potato fries were pretty good. I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon. 2.5/5. read more

No need to drive south of the border when you have Duff's in Toronto. Real Buffalo wings in the GTA The wings are Huge there's no way you can find bigger wing anywhere , the wings are flavourful and filling as well. The sauce is perfect just like buffalo wing are meant to be , they have a few other wing flavors that I can't comment on because I have never tried them myself but I'm sure you can find something that will appeal to you. If you like your wings with rib sauce this is not the place for you or maybe wings just aren't for you who actually enjoys sweet wings. Really rib sauce on wings Yuk. Just as good as the Ancor Bar without the drive to Buffalo. read more

After a long day of studying I was excited to try Duffs for the first time and I was severely let down. The servers were polite and service was quick, otherwise I would give this location 1 star. The wings were over cooked, dry, small, and the sauce was very ordinary. If I wanted crappy wings I would have cooked at home. I always want to support small businesses over the likes of Wild Wings but Wild Wings is much better. For $50 for 2 pounds a small pitcher and large fries, the beer was the best part and the next was the celery. All in all, if this is the food on a Saturday night I can't believe food will be any better .. ever. Don't come here. read more

It is really hard to find a wing place that are not breaded, and taste really good. My friend and I ordered 4 lbs of wings, we can barely finish it because the wings are pretty big. We ordered 4 different flavours and they were all very delicious. Only one thing we regert doing is getting all 4 lbs in sauce, we should have done one in dry style. My order from favorites to least favorites (Honey Garlic, Medium, BBQ, Spicy Honey Garlic). They also serve amazing fries too, I enjoy my night there. I will definitely be back with my other friends.

I came to Duff's based on their reputation of having world famous Buffalo wings, having been to a different location of this franchise over half a decade ago. If my memory serves me correctly, I enjoyed my experiences at Duff's all those years ago. My most recent visit to Duff's falls in line with past visits. The wings were really crispy but maybe a tad too dry on their own. Their hot sauces were top notch though, and made up for any dryness. Solid spot for wings and beer! read more

Time to let yelp in on a little secret...as a rule I'm not a wing girl, I've eaten them but I tend to bypass them when they are on the menu. However, when I read that Duff's has been considered one of the best wing places in the city, and at a reasonable cost, I had to make an exception and I'm glad I did. My fellow yelper and I checked this place out this afternoon and aside from the few uncalled for comments by people passing by, it was a nice afternoon.. The celery is crunchy...this is a big thing for me, soggy celery an automatic 2 stars! Only problem is that it wasn't enough and was served way before the wings. The dill dip served with it was delicious. My friend and I shared a 20-wing dish, going the "mild" route of honey garlic and BBQ. The wings are definitely covered in your chosen sauce and there is a fair amount of meat on each wing. So it's very clear, they know what they are doing in the wing department. I ordered a side of wedges and they were good as well. Perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. So why not five stars? I suppose that's the non-wing girl taking off that one star. I'd love to have had the option of boneless wings with the same choice of sauces. However, for a clean, decently priced, experienced wing joint in the heart of the city, this is the place to go. read more

I've been going to Duff's for a few years now, and I am baffled by comments stating the wings are small. Where do you buy YOUR wings from?! These are some of the larger wings I've see in Toronto. These guys specialize in heat. I've had sauces from Medium to Armageddon, and I prefer the Medium-Hot, or Hot. I find that's the perfect balance of heat and flavor. I've tried a couple of the mild flavors as well and they decently good. Not the cheapest wings in the city, but you do get a solid bang for your buck! read more

A hot day & chicken wings go well together the way that peanut butter & jelly do. I used to go to the Duff's location in Buffalo, but had not checked out the locations in Toronto since this place branched out. Emily B. and I had lunch here on Sunday afternoon while soaking the sun on this very hot day. I love fried pickles so when I saw it on the menu, I had to order it. They were delish ! We also ordered 20 wings - 1/2 Honey Garlic and 1/2 BBQ flavored. The latter was 'meh'; I prefer spice to my BBQ. Honey Garlic was sweet and yummy. My mum makes the world's best chicken wings so I have come to realize that these little bones with meat are quite overpriced when you go out. That being said ... Duff's charges the going rate for chicken wings in Toronto so I can't say that this place is too expensive. Service was pretty good; we were the only people on the patio and our server made it a point to come out and check on us. I was chugging water like no tomorrow and she was able to keep pace. Good for: lunch, dinner, groups read more

Duff's Famous Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Wing night on Tuesdays. 'Nuff said. The wings here are a good sized and perfectly cooked. Not dried out or undercooked like some other wing joints. The skin is really crispy too. My favourite part is that they don't ding you for ordering multiple sauces unlike some other wing joints and your wings come in orders of 10 rather than pounds... Nice and simple. The sides though are overpriced ($4.50 for fries?), but that's probably so that you focus more on the wings. There's usually a lineup here, but the service is quick, so the turnover is pretty fast too. Personally I find their hot sauce a little on the salty side, but for this price and quality who cares? read more

This past weekend my wife and I were in the Bayview and Eglinton area and decided to head on over to Duff's for some artery clogging cuisine. We had heard quite a bit about this place in the past but had never visited. As soon as we opened the door to the pub we were greeted by a genuinely friendly hostess who promptly ushered us in from outdoors and had us seated. After glancing at the menu we quickly decided on 2 lbs of wings with half being "Medium Authentic Buffalo Sauce" and the other half "Honey Garlic". We also ordered a side of potato wedges. The food came out surprisingly fast, within 5 - 10 minutes! It was so quick that I asked the waitress "That fast eh?", to which she responded "At this time the fryers are going non stop so its just a matter of tossing it in whatever sauce the customer wants." The Buffalo Wings (since that's all anyone cares about): The two essential components of authentic Buffalo wings were satisfied, they were deep-fried and cooked without any kind of breading. The sauce was well balanced and the skin was crisp and not soggy. As soon as your teeth penetrated the skin they were greeted by meat that was moist and tender. Overall a nice spot with friendly staff and a very relaxed atmosphere. 4 Stars read more

Hey Yelpers! Been here over a year ago, thought I'd leave my two cents. I came with a friend to catch up on life. She wanted wings and this was near her place. I got the 2lbs wing deal. This consisted two flavours of wings plus carrot or celery and something else to which I forgot. Anyways, I got the lemon pepper because I love dry ribs and then I spiced it up with honey garlic cause I'm eating wings so why not be messy. The lemon pepper was under seasoned. The honey garlic was just right. To be honest I don't really understand the pricing but I found it pricey. Server was good. I remember it was a female who was attentive. Parking space is poor, street parking or walking if you around the area. Didn't come back because I left unsatisfied. But hey! They might have improved now. Check-em out! read more

Duff used to be my favorite place for wings. I got this 1 lb recently and was kinda disappointed. It was not a Tuesday special (not sure if there is any for now) but the wings were small and were a bit over cooked/fried. Hope it will be better the next time I place my take out order. read more

The fact that this wing empire only has a 3 and a half star rating, really upsets me. I now nominate my rating as the current and forever rating of duffs. Everything sold here is off the charts delicious. It's hard to find the perfect wing in toronto being surrounded by a lot of garbage *cough wild wings cough* , but I consider myself to be a wing and sauce aficionado. Their wings are perfectly crispy, none of that soggy battered skin here, that draws the fine line in your mind if it's even fully cooked yet, no ,duffs has perfected it's cook time. Sauces are obviously flavourful. They keep it simple here no ridiculous names just good wings. I recommend the hot honey garlic. Words really aren't enough to describe the wings here please just go and try them yourself. read more

The wings here are delicious. I've yet to find somewhere in Calgary that has the same quality of wings that they have here or at Right Wing Sports Pub. Wings are only part of the equation though, their buffalo sauces are on point. The only thing that I have a bit of a problem with is their slogan that says the medium is hot and the hot is very, very hot. It kind of makes you order down for spiciness and it's simply not true. I ordered a pound of the medium and one of the hot. The hot was probably pretty close to a perfect sauce but I would have definitely tried the superhot if not for their slogan which kind of steered you away from it. Either way that doesnt change my rating. Delicious wings and I'll be back. read more

I understand it gets busy for the Tuesday special, but that doesn't mean customers deserve bad food/service. I was rushed to order although the wings came quick. I would not recommend the dry wings as it was totally bland and lacked the "lemon pepper" flavour. Moreover, it was over fried... They also forgot to serve us our celery sticks until we reminded them. Not sure if I would come back as there are plenty of restaurants on the same street. read more

Duff's Famous Wings - Lemon pepper @ Tuesday special with the purchase of a beverage - Chicken Wings Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I wasn't sure I was ready to write about Duff's, yet. It's a pretty profound spiritual and salivary experience, even just sitting here thinking about it. Sidebar: Try to understand, guys who like spicy food have a bit of a tough time of it. Any pursuit of spicy is read as machismo, and protests to the contrary just dig deeper. What can I say? I eat spicy on my own, when no one's looking. I promise. Some people just seem to have their spice receptors wired directly to endorphin release, and I'm one of em. So when I say this next thing, I hope it will be taken as the significant and earnest sentiment it is intended to be: Duff's Armageddon wings are the single spiciest thing I have ever eaten. You want the stock review? Okay: Duff's is a cozy little place along a nice strip of Bayview. There's always a line up, but they turn people over pretty quickly, and the owner's out there every night chatting with you and giving you the run down if it's your first time. The beer list is uninspiring and short, but gets the job done. The sides and appetizers are pretty good, indeed I genuinely like their fries - they aren't just along for the ride. All in all, it would be a fine little 3- or 4-star hangout depending on how you ranked space issues against tastiness. But if you like spice, and I do, and it's my review so you'll just have to play along, this place is unreal. They list their wing sauces in terms of Scovilles, the dilution-based unit used to evaluate spiciness. I think that's gimmicky, and I'm almost certain their numbers are inflated, but it does signal quite effectively what kind of establishment you're entering. It is a kingdom of spice, the servers all wear shirts that say "Remember, medium is hot, medium hot is very hot, hot is very very hot." Above "hot" is "super hot" and through to this point we've been on a consistent, classic wing recipe. Strong vinegar, bright red/orange sauce with bright cayenne notes, big crisp wings with *great* heat. They could top out at Super Hot and even spice chasers would be happy. But they have two more offerings: Death and Armageddon. These two share a recipe with each other, but are vastly different from the others. A dark, smokey sauce with lots of Habañero and Scotch Bonnet. Beautiful smell when it hits the table, heat that hits your eyes. And the spice? Unbelievable. I'd give Death a pass, no point in half measures once you're on this terrain. But the Armageddon is like nothing I've ever tasted. The sweats start right away, my fingers tingle and my eyes water and honestly, I start to get twitchy. My foot's tapping, I'm banging the table. How many meals do you have that get your whole body going this way? I have to stop and let my mouth recover after half an order, use some fries to soak up the heat, use some beer to break it down. My brother and I will sometimes share a double order, half Armageddon, half Super Hot and while the super hot are tasty, their (substantial) heat is barely detectable in the post-Armageddon haze. We leave that place worn out - spent. Nowhere else have I had food that beat me up that much, or made me so happy to be beaten. The owner says he can't personally handle anything above medium. read more

If there was a 4.5 star option, that's what I would have given it. By far the best wings in Toronto, but lacks in consistency. Usually the sauce to wings ratio is pretty good, but every so often they will just be drenched. The beer selection is indeed wanting. The only place I've found that rivals Duff's wings are Anchor bar, which also originates in Buffalo (and is said to be the creator of the buffalo wing). They start you off with 3 small pieces of celery/person and your choice of blue cheese or dill sauce. IMO blue cheese is the way to go. Something about their celery - it is somehow the greatest celery I've ever had, every single time. Wings - authentic buffalo wings (indeed the original Duff's hails from Buffalo), and so far the only ones of its kind in Toronto. There are a number of your 50+ flavour breaded wings around the city, but nothing compares to your simple deep fried wing with that spicy red/orange sauce. Fries - Great in their own right. Shoestring, unsalted, and not easily comparable to any other fries I can think of. The honey garlic sauce is extremely sweet and sticky - I guess that's good if you like honey garlic! You'll find some people rate other wing joints in Toronto better than Duff's, but if you're looking for Buffalo wings, this is THE [only] place for them in Toronto! Now with 3 locations across the GTA (Uptown, downtown, and Thornhill Woods), wait times are not what they used to be. read more
