Best wings in Buffalo and one of my favorite bars. It's my favorite place to take friends who come into town out for a drink, grab brunch, or get a quick bite with friends. read more

This place always a great food and a very nice atmosphere. Every time I go there it is jam packed with customers, but the servers in the waiters are very cordial and created their job so I never had a problem. read more

Great wings along with other dishes. Love the architecture. It's a bit too dark inside but the food makes it worth eating in the dark.

This is a awesome please to lunch, We ate the buffalo wings, had not tried such good ones. I hope to return. I recommend it.

The interior is nice, a bit of an old Buffalo vibe. The menu is fine, but a little uninteresting. Food is good, but I've not had anything outstanding. The onion rings are nice, wings are pretty good. The service could be better. By no means a bad place, I just wouldn't go out of my way to go there. Lots of seating, though often busy. Street parking. read more

Always the most disgusting place in town, it smells and it's dirty. The new owner is extremely rude. I feel bad for the lovely waitstaff. I'll NEVER go back. read more

Good food!!! HUUUUUUUGGGGGE onion rings!!! Need I say more!!?? Would definitely recommend especially if you're in the Allentown area.

First time visiting Buffalo. Relying on yelp reviews to decide on places to eat. Reviews are great, wings and French onion soup were great (like previous reviews) service was TERRIBLE. What made it bad, our server did not communicate when they messed up our order, she never came to the table to let us know. Instead kept us waiting for 45 min. We saw other tables who sat after us get their food. When our food did come out, the French onion wasn't in a crock like we mentioned, she hesitated putting it down because she knew it was wrong and then immediately turned away. When the wings came out next, we let the runner know the soup was wrong. Our server then came back saying "you won't be charged for the cup, just the crock." Well of course we won't be charged for something we didn't order...Then the chicken tenders we ordered "plain" for my four year old, they were made with sauce on the them. Our server clearly did not know how to write down orders. Hence why we waited so long and had no idea what the issue was with our order. I understand we are in a national staffing shortage in all types of work, but that was unacceptable. Also, our booth smelt like urine, not sure what that was about...maybe after an intoxicated person who sat there the night before and they didn't clean the booth properly? I love supporting local businesses and enjoy the history behind places, unfortunately our experience sucked and we will not be back and will not recommend this place. read more

I don't do many reviews from New Jersey but heard they had great wings so yes impressed with the food delicious! Great service from waitress !!! But ruined by a Rude Management/waitress . No kidding top of the house ruins someone's great reviews maybe they should take a step back we all understand is Post Pandemic but I went to have dinner with my son in great Buffalo, NY ... not feel like I was a prison inmate !! For management there we know the rules we follow but don't act as if you are A Warden left the great good with a bad taste . read more

Wings are juicy and crispy. Overall food was really good. The place was filthy though- the bathrooms smelled better than the bar. The tables were filthy and everything throughout the restaurant has never experienced a cleaning. I understand the restaurants old world "charm" but that doesn't mean it should not be cleaned. PS they offer condoms in the women's restroom read more

One of the best wings in Buffalo. They remind me of Duffs in terms of consistency, heat, and flavor. It's a spot to go to if you're near Allen. I will warn you, it does take a while to get a table. If you are to get soft drinks, be prepared to pay for the refills as they are not free like most places. But those two drawbacks might be worth it to try some wonderful wings. Definitely a place to try if you haven't already. read more

Best wings in Buffalo!! Crispy, saucy, and savory!! Comfortable seating with nice cabin aesthetic! Great food and ambience!!

Jordan, the Hostess/Bus Boy, needs a lesson in Customer Service. My sons and I went for dinner on a recent Saturday evening for some wings and beer before a Sabres game. Had it not been for the good service by our server Alana and the tasty wings, we would have rated this visit "0 Stars" based on the attitude and actions from the Hostess Jordan. We arrived just before 4:30pm and the restaurant was not busy. By 5:25pm I already had my credit card receipt and was finishing my beer, when Jordan felt the need to come to our table. I'm not sure what his issue was, but he acted like we had been at our table for hours on a busy night and not ordering anything. He told us that we needed to leave because "they need the table". I pointed out that I was finishing my beer and signing the receipt...instead of realizing his mistake that we were already moments away from leaving...he continued that while there were other empty tables, they needed ours and we had to go. Had the need for him to have our table been so critical, first he should have told us when we were seated that they needed the table in an hour...or second, he could have asked our server if we were almost done...or third, used his intuitive hostess skills and saw that we already had our credit card receipt and the beer was almost empty and that we would likely be leaving soon. Instead, he had his own idea of customer service and that was essentially telling us it was time to leave. Had I not already given my credit card, I would have gladly obliged and given Alana a $20 tip and left the check to Jordan to pay and explain to the manager, who unfortunately was nowhere in sight, that the $75 check walked because he told the customer to leave. Subsequently Alana stopped by to apologize for Jordan's lack of Customer Service skills...and the kicker...she said they didn't need he table until 6pm...perhaps it was going to take Jordan 30 minutes to bus the table... Absent Jordan's antics, we would have rated 5 Stars. read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid, my mom worked right around the corner and we go to lunch here all the time. I wasn't old enough to appreciate it then but I sure do now! The chicken wings here are amazing. Some of the best in the city. Also, their french onion soup deserves some sort of prize. It is amazing. Definitely the best I have ever had. Their fries are good as well. Their is a bar here as well. They do have an outdoor seating area for the few months of summer we have in Buffalo. I have always had great service here. It's one of our go-to spots for great wings and french onion!! read more

Best wings in town. A mainstay whenever I return to WNY. Reasonably priced, nice atmosphere, great service.

Nice location in Buffalo.... artsy hipster. Wings done crispy and dry. Sandwiches done well to order. Beer was excellent and ice cold. Very satisfied read more

Came here for a late lunch. We ordered a sirloin steak and buffalo wings. We had the sirloin steak medium rare, and it was wonderful. It came out exactly medium rare and nice warm. The wings portion was huge, they didn't over fry them so they are still juicy. The restaurant is a little too dark inside and the booth was somewhat small and tight. Service wise, okay, not the best but not bad at all. Would like to come back and try their fish fry and chicken linguine some day. read more

Allentown staple. Decent food and friendly wait staff. There's a lot on the menu and lots of memorabilia and local stuff on the walls.

If I lived in Buffalo I would be here more often, but I'm from NJ so I don't get to visit often. But everyone seemed great (maybe that's an easy improvement from the Jersey attitude HA HA). Most important, the wings were GREAT! The drinks were cold. The atmosphere was perfect - not too small, not too big; not too loud, not too quiet; rustic and interesting. I will definitely be back to enjoy more wings and the rest of the food was good so far, too! read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid with my parents and this is an old time favorite. The best thing is they are open pretty late, so on those late Friday and Saturday night I can skip the fast food and get something real read more

There is often a hard discussion on where to go for the best wings in Buffalo and Gabriel's Gate is definitely in the top 3! Their BBQ wings are the best around. Some places either do not put enough sauces or too much. Gabriel's Gate puts the perfect of BBQ sauce on their wings and has perfected the taste. The staff is always efficient and friendly. If you are in buffalo and looking for a place to get wings - go to Gabriel's Gate! read more

If we could give this 0 stars, we would. Long story short..service is horrible, unnecessarily long wait, the legendary wings have been replaced by a legend of wings that no longer exists. However, the chicken bone on the floor for two hours while we waited to sit was a great sight read more

I wish I could eat their wings everyday. They are incredible! Our first visit was on labor day and we got medium sauce wings, and I got the poutine appetizer thinking it would be a small portion, it was huge!! Very good too. We loved the wings so much we ordered them again for take out lady night I don't know how we're going to stick to our diets, I already want them again read more

Nice Buffalo vibe restaurant. Only reason for the lesser stars is because as a vegetarian there was really nothing on the menu to get besides salad which isn't the most exciting to get when you're eating out. But definitely a paradise for Buffalo meat lovers and very friendly servers that accommodated a large group well. read more

Better chicken wings than Anchor Bar. Interesting decor. Don't go there if you're in a hurry. Service is "leisurely" and your order might take a while to arrive. But if you're patient you'll be rewarded with some of the better tasting chicken wings in Western NY. read more

My husband and I and a few friends went to Gabriel's Gate during a wing crawl back in September and their chicken wings ranked one of the highest! they were super crispy, flavorful, and had unique flavor options! We were so impressed and all agreed they faaaaaar outdid Anchor Bar times a million! A lot more low key and relaxed, service was friendly and attentive. My husband and I have only tried their wings but we would definitely consider going back to try other entrees. Their pricing is pretty high for what we normally go out and spend but their food is certainly quality. It would be a treat to dine with Gabriel's Gate again! read more

Great ambience, nice wait staff, very, very long wait for food and very few vegetarian or healthy options.

This experience was atrocious! We were seated and totally forgotten as we watched table by table of people who arrived after us receive their food. When we stopped the server to asked about our food she actually asked if we wanted our check. To which we answered we never received any food... Will NOT return... read more

Horrible and dirty Got food poisoning The wings are the same you'll find all over buffalo Nothing special read more

Came in for the wings and they are delicious. Came back and had the onion soup and the poutines. The poutines are huge and very good. I sat at the bar and both time they took care of me. Big thanks to Alana behind the bar! Being from out of town she made me feel like a regular. read more

I came here with some friends and everyone enjoyed their food. I got a portabella sandwich with a side of onion rings and with no cheese, but rather onions instead. I enjoyed my meal but noticed on the bill that my meal came out to be about 3 dollars more than menu price. When I asked the server about it, she said that the onion rings and onions on the sandwich were an upcharge. I wish she had told me that while I was ordering rather than after I got the bill, or at least have it on the menu. Had I known, I would not have gotten all of the extras. I would hope that this is not a regular occurrence. read more

Insanely delicious wings. Might be the best spot in buffalo and it's not just me saying that. The French onion soup was extremely delicious. We had a error in our order and the staff was quick to fix it. Definitely will be returning :) next time I'm going with the suicide sauce! read more

The wings and poutine is amazing. The place is so nice for short cute date. I think the wings is even better than anchor bar or duffs

Always my first reccomendation for chicken wings. Good quality wings and great sauces. Saracha wings are something to try. Great place to hang out at too. read more

I know I know... if you have read some of my previous reviews I have already declared the best wings in Western NY as Bar Bill BUT that does leave some more specific locations to be announced my "winners." Gabriel's Gate has got some dynamite authentic wings. They cook them great... a little crispy, just enough sauce (Duff's goes a little overboard). I first experienced them having the suicide flavor for a true hot experience and boy was thattttt sh** hotttttt. That's the first time I think I can say I sweat, flushed, took breaks furing a wing meal. And it was great! Can't say I can do that all the time but for a heat-lover like me that was fun! I have gone back and subsequently tried the hot wings as well which were also great. There are so many different types of wings to choose from in Buffalo but if you are looking for your classic wing done right I choose this place. read more

Good food, good drinks, great atmosphere and delicious wings. This is where the locals go for good wings

I visited this little place to get some food before my concert, and I got the BBQ wings, and they were incredible. Definitely some of the best wings I've ever had and the service was very friendly and helpful as well! read more

I try to be thoughtful with my reviews because I know that I am talking about a person's livelihood, but I can't understand all of the glowing reviews. I was a huge fan in the early '90s, unfortunately, the last couple of times I've been there...not so much. First, the tables always feel sticky and dirty and, secondly, the food is either average (Sorry folks, this includes the wings) or below. I will not go again. read more

Cool local spot to grab a beer and some wings. On cold days, they have three fireplaces going which creates a nice atmosphere.

If I could give this place 2.5 stars, I might, just because the first and second time I went there I had a decent experience. The food wasn't bad, not too much to complain about. Nothing special but not terrible. However, the last time I went (yesterday) was a different story. I like the environment of the place; it kind of feels like an upscale hunting cabin or something. I do not like the environment of the area we were seated in. The host sat us in the front, which is a couple steps below the main floor. At first, I thought it was great because we got to sit down there by ourselves so it was nice and quiet. After sitting there for ten minutes I changed my mind. I don't know why they seat people there. It looks unfinished, as the ceiling is falling apart, dirty, and DRIPS WATER! It was dripping onto a ledge above the fireplace (which was a little too close to our table) and tiny drops were splashing onto the place mat where my boyfriend was sitting. I wanted to say something to our waitress so we could move, but my boyfriend insisted that it was fine and it wasn't bothering him. The rest of the restaurant is pretty nice, so I'm not sure what was up with that front room but they should really fix that or not seat people there, especially when the rest of the place is empty. So that was that. Our waitress was super friendly and seemed interested in serving us at first. As time went on, she seemed to be in a hurry the whole time, rushing around as if the place was packed (it wasn't). She hardly had time to ask us how our meal was. So we ordered. I got the Garden Vegetable Medley, with chicken which was $3 extra. It was listed as: seasonal vegetables in a garlic wine sauce, finished with a basil pesto atop pasta. I asked our waitress what the vegetables were and she stated, "I think it's mostly broccoli and carrots." I wasn't too sure about this, but I took the chance anyway. My boyfriend ordered Chicken & Portobella, boneless chicken breast topped with a grilled portobella mushroom and baked crumbled bleu cheese. I had a salad with mine, and he had the New England Clam Chowder, which he said was very good. I realized after our waitress left that she never asked me for my salad dressing, so I assumed they just had a house dressing. I'm not sure what dressings they have, but all I got was what looked and tasted like classic store bought Italian dressing, which I am fine with but it would have been nice to have options. Standard salad, pretty decent, a lot of croutons. As we were finishing these up, our waitress came back and said to my boyfriend, "they're just about done with your food, but what kind of potato did you want? They have baked, french fries.. etc." He ordered the baked potato with butter. About ten minutes later, our food came. I should also mention they have a great house brew, which is a brown ale. It tastes nutty and delicious. But anyway, the food. Since our waitress was in such a hurry, she spilled a little bit of the sauce from my dish onto my dress as she was placing it on the table. A quick "sorry" was all I got but whatever. I won't be too picky since it was only a small amount. My boyfriends food looked and tasted great. The vegetables he got were cooked in what I think was garlic and pepper and they were awesome. He didn't get the butter for the potato that he asked for, but claimed that he probably wouldn't have used it anyway. We let our waitress get off really easy. My dish, however was not very good. There was so much sauce that it was hard to eat without splashing myself. It was more of a giant soup. The white wine sauce tasted like it wasn't cooked long enough or flavored enough, or something. And there was way too much of it. There was no sign of the basil pesto. Some parts of the chicken were good but some parts tasted burnt. The "mostly broccoli and carrots" was actually zucchini, broccoli, and a lot of onions. No sign of carrots. The vegetables were okay if I could get most of the sauce off, but they were nothing special. I ate my boyfriends broccoli instead because he doesn't like broccoli, and I loved them. It did come with four triangles of garlic bread, which were very good but they were a little soggy from the sauce. So maybe I just got a bad dish, and maybe the current cook didn't know how to make it. Either way, it was nothing special. I took the majority of my food home, in hopes that I could make it taste a little better at home. I haven't tried yet, so we'll see. I'm probably not going to go back to Gabriel's Gate anytime soon. There are a hundred way better restaurants in Buffalo, but this one seems to be good for some things and not good for others. But whatever you decide to do, avoid sitting in the front or you might get splashed. read more
