Wings are $20 for 10! They were small and over fried, good flavor. Small soda drinks and no free refills? I will not be back many better wing spots around town.. read more

If I'm having wings, chances are Gabriel's Gate is a top contender. I'm not sure how they do it, but their wings are consistently done right. The quality is almost on par to Bar Bill's. Each bite bursts with flavor and leaves you wanting more. Drums, flats, it doesn't matter - you won't be disappointed. They also have a full bar with some local brews! What you might be disappointed in, however, is the hit or miss service. Some servers appear to completely forget about your order (as a server, it happens, but I've experienced this often enough to include in this review). It's not a dealbreaker, but certainly something that needs to be addressed. read more

The wings were okay, not what I expected based off of things that I've heard about Gabriel's gate. My friend and I base our reviews out of 10, we gave them a 6. Maybe we went too early in the day, we got there a few minutes after they opened. The French onion soup was AMAZING, we rated that a 10!! read more

It's Monday night and we were a little hesitant on getting our buffalo wings fix from this place. But we're so glad we finally did come here. Oatmeal cookie draft beer was pretty good, wings are awesome they're fresh and well coated with the sauce. Onion rings were not oily, they were fried with the right crispness. French onion soup was too salty for my liking but it was good. Our host gave excellent service, we were very happy and grateful. The ambiance was perfect for us, it wasn't too crowded on a Monday night and there's music playing not too loud in the background. read more

When in Buffalo, eat Buffalo wings. We were going to try the usual suspects, Anchor Bar or Duffs, but a local recommended this place. Worth the trip. First, I started with a French Onion Soup. Although the broth was a bit salty, the thick cheese was absolutely delicious and the bread and broth had a rich garlic flavor that enhanced everything. Absolutely delicious and decently priced at $7.95 for a crock. The wings were meaty and well prepared. With each bite, first you get the nice, crisp skin and then the moistness of the chicken meat. We got the 10 piece ($17.95), which was a bit high on the price point, but not terrible. We asked for "original" wings and the Staff suggested "medium" spice. We learned that "original" means Frank's Red Hot Original (I don't know if that's the product they use, but it tasted like Franks.), which was reportedly the original secret ingredient in the first Buffalo wings. There were a few carrot and celery pieces that came with the wings and an uninspired blue cheese dressing. The dressing was pretty weak. My partner had a Philly steak sub. Large, soft roll stuffed with shredded brisket in a tomato sauce with grilled onion. My partner said it was hard to pick up once the tomato sauce got absorbed by the bread, but very tasty. The sub came with a nice serving of potato chips. Warning on soft drinks. The place is a bar, and they charge for refills. They didn't tell me that, but it was on the bill. $2 each for a small glass of diet soda. The restaurant is in a building constructed in 1848. Some of the original brick is exposed and it's an interesting building to look at. The place was crowded on a Friday afternoon at 1:00 pm, both the bar area and restaurant were packed. Worth a visit. And they only gave each of us one napkin. With wings and the sloppy sandwich, be prepared for a bit of a mess. read more

This was our next stop on our journey for Buffalo wings while in Buffalo. This place did not disappoint. This charming building was originally built in 1864. It has its own character as it sits on a block with brick row homes. We were here for wings and beer, mainly. Here's what we ordered: - French Onion Soup: onion soup topped with provolone and broiled to perfection. - Buffalo Chicken Wings - Labatt Blue No complaints here. Really good food and the service was great. The ambiance was cozy. We were told that they have live music on certain days. Would love to come see that when I'm back in town! Recommend! read more

This is place is a must when you come to Buffalo. Best chickens wings in town PERIOD. They always come out hot, crispy, and perfected coated with hot sauce. I'm usually not a huge fan of blue cheese, but I absolutely love the blue cheese dressing here. Mary is the best server. Super nice, attentive, and just knows her stuff. I wish there were more servers like her around. Ambiance is what you expect from a dive bar... and that doesn't bother me at all. I look forward to coming back!! read more

This place was the bomb to the point we went here twice! Was in Buffalo with a couple friends, and one of my friends who's local here recommend Gabriel's Gate for wings. In fact he joined us for some wings as even he hadn't been there for a while! The first time we went on a Saturday ~2.5 hours before a Sabres game and it was busy. We had to wait 30 mins for a table, but we were eventually seated. My party of 4 shared two double Buffalo medium wings, which amounted to 40 wings for the 4 of us. The wings were huge and saucy! Definitely lived up to the hype, and as my friends (who have been to Buffalo before) said, "Better than Anchor Bar!". The second time was on a Sunday after a Sabres game. Similar order of Buffalo medium wings, but my friend also recommended their french onion soup...and they had enough left to serve our table! And yes it was gucci! It's been a while since I've had a legit french onion soup, but they nailed it with the immense amount of cheese and flavourful onions in it. Service was excellent both times. This place has gotta be up there for best wings, if not already declared as such. Highly recommended for the wings connoisseur. read more

Coming from the food TV world, I knew all about the Anchor and Duff's rivalry. I didn't want any of that knowing very well the locals would steer me in the right direction to the best wings besides this infamous tale. I was looking for big and crispy and that's where I was led. Gabriel's Gate was everything I needed in a bar. Rustic with deer heads and other animals hanging on the wall, specifically surrounding the bar. I love animals but for some reason this never bothered me. Chatting with some of the locals while deciding what to get as I sat at the bar was super fun. And in addition to my order of wings, I was told Gabriel's is also known for their French onion soup. Are you KIDDING ME?! Obviously, I got a small one as French onion soup is my jam! Cheesy and tasty; this soup was amazing. The broth was super flavorful. Then came the wings., big, crispy, yet juicy. Mild sausage had a decent amount of heat. I will return back there whenever I get back to Buffalo for sure. Finally a shout out the bartenders who made me feel super at home. I'll bee line here to this location next time I head up for sure. read more

Aw not sure why this place has such a low review. One of my favorite wings place in Buffalo, and make it a point to visit every time I'm in town. If you're craving some seriously satisfying wings, this place is a must-visit. The wings are juicy, cooked to perfection, and the sauce hits all the right notes--tangy, flavorful, and just the right amount of heat. Each bite is packed with flavor, and the portion sizes are impressive--no skimping here. Whether you like them mild or fiery, they've got something for everyone. read more

In a town known for its wings, where it is far too easy for a classic place to lose its soul, Gabriel's Gate shines as a portal to the past and a monument to the form. There is nothing new or novel happening with the wings. I suppose you can try some other flavor sauces, but I stuck with a regular size order, hot and crispy. And that's what I got. 10 wings. 6 flats. 4 drums. Didn't ask for extra flats, but I certainly appreciated the distribution. Flats, as everyone knows, are the better wing segment. Plus it came with both carrot and celery sticks. None of those lazy baby carrots that I've seen elsewhere. Also there was a little pot of chunky, sour cream forward, blue cheese dressing. I feel like I shouldn't even have to mention those little things, but as the price of wings creeps up, many shops have started leaving out the accompaniments and charging for them individually. Times are hard these days for wing lovers. So yeah, they are hella expensive for deep fried flaps of skin and bone with a little meat attached, and tossed with hot sauce. However when wings are good, they are not only worth the price, but also the fat and caloric hit to the metabolism. A fellow next to me at the bar got a double order. 20 wings. Don't do it. For starters, nobody needs 20 wings. But more importantly, there is no way to get through that many without the last ones being cooler and less delicious. Heck, by the time I got through five, mine had cooled substantially. When hot, these were just about perfect. Crisp skin. Tender meat that pulled cleanly off the bone. Well applied sauce with a good kick that left my lips tingling, but wasn't overwhelming. Thanks to the Yelp community for steering me toward "Hot" vs "Medium" as I would typically order at other Buffalo institutions. Did I mention just how freaking charming this place is? The building and staff are simply gems! They are keeping it real, and I appreciate that more than I can say. More than anything, I am looking forward to getting back here with a wing eating partner, so I don't have to take down 10 wings all by my lonesome. Then I might be able to try some other things on the menu too... you know, like fries. Nothing fancy. Just great bar food that has held the standard while others have slipped. It's a rarity, and in my book, worthy of five stars. read more

We waited about 30-45 minutes for a table and were told anything from the fryer would be an additional 45 minutes from when we placed our order. We decided to wait and see what the hype was about. I don't eat meat very often, so I opted to just get a side salad & fries and make the fries "dirty" (buffalo sauce & bleu cheese crumbles on top, and then dipping in bleu cheese dressing & ranch dressing). IT WAS DELICIOUS. My friend ordered wings and said they were really good too. We were sat in the front of the restaurant right next to the fireplace, and the ambiance was so sweet! It was a very romantic setting (even though the person I was with was just a friend), and I would love to go again! Wait- it's worth the wait. read more

Gabriel's Gate - View of the bar from the front door (long wait on a Friday night!) - American Near Me - Buffalo, New York

This place is located on a quieter side street but still pretty close to the downtown area. It's in a pretty old stone building. Walking in, there's a big bar area, but further in are dining tables to the back and side. There are animal heads on the walls, which they explained as coming from a museum or university and they felt that it's better to display them for education than to throw them in trash. They do have a nice selection of beer, on tap and in bottles. I ordered, needless to say, some wings. They came swimming in sauce. The wings are quite juicy. Overall, food is nice, but the service was not very welcoming. I asked them for the wifi code and was told rather rudely they don't have one for guest. read more

Was recommended Gabriel's Gate at the Buffalo Bills tailgate for the best Buffalo wings in town. We stopped by after the game and we didn't wait too long for a table. We ordered a single Buffalo wings and poutine. The food took almost an hour to come out. We also noticed other people asking about their orders. I'm not sure if this is the norm or if it was because it was game day. However, I don't think it should have taken so long for sides. Also, the waitress was a little forgetful of items asked. The food itself was standard. It wasn't anything amazing or something you're missing out on. The poutine is a good amount, but it kind of just tastes like nothing. The chicken wings were good, but damn expensive. Overall, I think this place is loved by locals, but when it comes to the food itself you're not missing out on anything. read more

Gabriel's Gate - Buffalo Chicken Wings - American Near Me - Buffalo, New York

After driving 30 minutes to an event nearby that was cancelled, me and my roommate walked around to find a bite to eat. The first place we went into was playing music so loud I thought I was somewhere on Chippewa on a Friday night at 1 AM (it was actually 2:15pm on a Sunday!) ... so we kept it moving and ended up here. First impressions were a bit awkward. Service wasn't rude or anything just a bit off. Especially the host. Hard to explain. He was really working hard going up and down the stairs with things though so kudos to him otherwise. The atmosphere inside wasn't really something you want to see during the day is the best way for me to put it. The floors were dirty and some flies were buzzing around. I didn't know there was outdoor seating but had I known I would have loved to sit out there because when I peaked outside it was much much nicer! So that's my tip ... sit outside (weather permitting). The menu was ok but then we were informed there was a whole section we couldn't order from. Honestly the food was the saving grace here. I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much from the atmosphere and the fact I just ordered a club sandwhich and fries but it was good and a VERY hearty serving! My fries were piled high, cooked just right, and not salty or greasy. My sandwich was a good 3 inches thick (3 slices of bread used). Plenty of meat. It was very good! And they had sourdough bread. Although the ambience didn't do it for me, i would say if you're in the neighborhood for food or even drinks (there's a bar here as well) the food will not let you down. read more

Two separate people recommended this place to us as THE spot to get buffalo wings in buffalo. Wings: 10/10! Really tender, juicy and flavorful. I don't even like buffalo sauce. Def the best buff wings I've had. Spinach cheesy bread: 1/10. Terrible, do not order. Spinach had a weird texture and everything just felt low quality. Ambiance: it's ok, doesn't feel super clean. I'd come here for wings. That's it read more

Food: the food was pretty good. Very large portions that you can share. They served a creamy chicken potato soup that was delicious. A variety of beers in tap. Service: service was also good. The waitress was fast and friendly. Ambiance: I absolutely love the large amounts of booth seats throughout the restaurant. It's spacious but has many seats available, their decor is very nice, make you feel comfortable and at ease. Wood benches, Native American statues, dim lighting, large bar. And best of all, closes late. I recommend this restaurant to families and friends looking quality food and a chill ambiance. read more

Good but disappointing. We got seated and were greeted quickly. Drinks were brought, food ordered, and then it changed. I'm not sure what happened, but it took an hour to get our food.

Came here for lunch. Parked on the street with no issue. We had no wait. It got busier after we got seated and ordered our food. The interior was a little dark. Definitely a bar atmosphere. They had a lot of mounted taxidermy animals around and they did dress them up for Halloween. Our waitress was good. We ordered French onion soup and some wings. The soup was good, very cheesy and had good onion flavor. We got the traditional Buffalo wings. The wings were crisp and not over sauced. And we also got some garlic bread with marinara sauce. read more

These are the best wings, hands down, in Buffalo. Better than Bar-Bill imho. We also had a top notch salad with blackened chicken and blue cheese.

Good Buffalo wing experience at Gabriel's Gate. The restaurant itself is quite dingy, and probably has looked the same for 30-40 years. Also, there were flies everywhere.... The staff was friendly and the service was fast! We got the hot Buffalo wings and they were good! Could have been crispier in my opinion but I liked the sauce. I had the club and it was totally fine. Not worth $15, especially since the chips are literally like Ruffles on the side. The rest of my party had the "beef on Weck" or the cottage street and they both liked it. I'm giving 3 stars because of the flies, dinginess of the restaurant and overall value of the food. read more
