Stopped by here today first time in a couple of years. Walls need repainted there's a lot of chips and gashes in the paint. The service was good. Food was okay. I got the chicken sandwich it's not the same and I'm devastated. It used to be the best fried chicken sandwhich in Durham. Now it's not worth the parking and walking up the hill. It's two pre breaded and fried chicken strips now. I miss the hand breaded fried sandwich it was amazing. The fries are the same they're waffle fried crisp. EVERYTHING IS MADE FRESH! The fudge brownies even aren't what they used to be. They're still excellent but something changed. I'm disappointed! I'd rather you guys raise your prices than lower your quality. However I realize you're catering to college students not my middle class middle age self. Don't know if it's worth the parking to come back again.
I found this to be an average wing stop. This is a small restaurant with good amount of outdoor seating in a small courtyard. I liked the courtyard. I ordered bone-in wings and only tried one flavor, the PARMESAN GARLIC. It came with good garlic but little cheese flavor. Additionally, it had a vinegar hot sauce character which drove it to taste more like a garlic buffalo sauce. The Parmesan garlic sauce from the two big wing chains are better in my opinion. I ordered the wings extra crispy, which is a standard option in their online ordering page. They weren't extra crispy, nor were they even crispy at all. I was disappointed in this. I will say I received fast service. They were ready for pickup in just over 10 min after submitting the order online. They sent a text message as soon as they were ready which was convienent.
Great Staff. Great Food...And TV on Sports. ..Definitely can't go wrong with this location near Duke's campus....
My partner and I went to dinner here the other night. The decor is adorable with random art with buffalo all over. Our food was really good. I wanted two sauces on my wings but you can only get one sauce with the smaller order (and the price difference for the next largest was significant). I ended up getting the wings naked and then got two sauces on the side to try. I wasn't a huge fan of the zesty garlic parmesan because it was oily. The Peri Peri sauce was amazing though. The waffle fries were super crispy. You can get them with any of the dry rubs on there. I didn't but I tried my partner's sweet potato fries with jerk seasoning and it was delicious. Our server was nice and took good care of us. This is close to our house so we will definitely be back.
I was early to meet my friend and while there were no other tables in use, the waitress seemed a little bummed that I was only going to sit here with my laptop and sip at a beer. And then when my friend arrived and was quite indecisive about her dinner order, our waitress was a little frustrated. But honestly, so was I. This isn't a super complicated menu, folks. I got 13 wings (they do bone-in wings in 7, 13, 25, 51, 103 and 251 because yes, let's have odd numbers) in hot sauce. The arrived promptly and were pretty good. Not as meaty as some I've had but they were hot and fresh. Not swimming in sauce, the "hot" was only mildly hot. Going up to Zass-hoff would have been too much, so this was good. We also got a half order of the waffle fries, of which I tried one. A sweet potato with the zesty garlic parmesan, they were good. I wouldn't break keto for them, but good. The place slowly got a little busier but not enough that giving customers more time would have been a problem. TV's tuned in to two different movie channels and a wifi that I wasn't able to connect to and didn't really bother. A few options for people who don't eat wings (and why are you hanging around with them at a wing joint) including vegan wings (soy) and a chicken sandwich and salads with or without chicken nuggets. Some macro beer options and wine in a can. I can see returning to Heavenly Buffaloes. It was good. [Review 15528 overall, 1032 of 2021, number 3067 in North Carolina.]
I have been hearing about heavenly buffaloes for some time now so I was excited to finally try it. The restaurant is located in a plaza with other businesses. There is a parking lot located behind the businesses. Outdoor seating is located in front of the business and tables and bar seating is inside. There is a television by the bar. I give the server, Nick 5 stars! He is really a people person person and wants you to have an enjoyable experience while dining here. He told me what the drink specials were and also made recommendations on the wings. I would give the food 4 stars. The food was good but not overwhelmingly spectacular. I ordered the sweet Thai chili wings. There are no descriptions for the wing flavors so I didn't realize that there would be nuts on the wings. It wasn't bad but just different. I also tried the heavenly Buffalo dry rub. By the time that I got home with my leftovers the rub had turned into a wet sauce and tasted like Buffalo wings. The wings were a good size. The wings are also served with carrots, celery and a choice of ranch or blue cheese. The fries were ok. The half order is large enough to share. They do offer seasonings that can be served on the fries. After eating Nick packed up my food for me. He has great customer service skills! If I come back I would try other food items.
I've always been a fan of "Heavenly Buffaloes". Hands down the best wings I've ever had! Unfortunately the Durham location never had a dine-in option, I would always have to order takeout. Well -- they do now at their 2nd location on Erwin Rd. There's nothing like fresh wings! It's even better to eat it fresh out from the kitchen! The wings were hot and fries were crispy! Same menu but with alcohol/drinks menu. It's not a bad place to catch a game since there are TV's in the front. Basically, if you're planning to dine-in, just find a table and a server will come to you. There are lots of seating options. The customer service is top notch. Shout out to Nick for walking me through the ordering process and providing excellent service. Excited to have this new location!
Absolutely LOVE their vegan wings and waffle fries! I'm visiting a friend for the week and put this place on my list of must visit restaurants. We used to frequent the Markham St location when I lived in Durham. What sets this location apart is the indoor seating option! Thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. The food was excellent, the place was clean, and the music was hoppin!
I love Heavenly Buffaloes! We live in Wake Forest but every time we are around Durham or Chapel Hill we stop there to eat some wings. The Heavenly Buffaloes dry seasoning is so good that it's worth the 35min drive just to eat there. We usually get some boneless wings with dry Heavenly Buffaloes seasoning and the Idaho fries with dry Heavenly Buffaloes seasoning. I like this new location better than the original location because it has indoor sitting and also because for some reason the chicken here is better and not dry like the one at the original location.
Met a co-worker for dinner as he was passing through town. Got 7 wings with Zass Hoss and Garlic Garlic sauce mixed. Were good, spicy and loads of garlic. The wings were really big and meaty which always makes me happy. I also got the sweet potato waffle fries with Garlic Parmesan seasoning.it was all really good. If you want beer or wine, all the options come in a can. Mostly have beer and seltzer and limited wine. Prices fell in line with other wings places. They have carrots, not celery.. I do want to also try the Markham road location too.

Made an abnormal trip to Durham VA and was a bit hungry, so looked up highly rated placed and the wings jumped out at me (maybe it was the drink special?) I was worried about finding parking, but there was plenty around back and signs to get you where you need to be. I was concerned about the price at first, expecting the portions to be small... they were not, they were plentiful. (pics attached, and this was after I already started snacking) I got the lunch special with bone in Sweet Thai Coconut Chili and 8 boneless Zesty Garlic Parm. They were both outstanding. Flavor was on point for both. Server was fast, polite, and knew her stuff. Food came out the back much faster than I expected. Wish this place was close to my house, would certainly come again, if it were closer... maybe I might "have a couple more VA appts" here. read more
Just like the other location the wings here are legit and I really enjoyed the bone in thighs also. Waffle fries are amazing and this spot is great for meeting friends at , parking is a little weird and be aware that for pickup you gotta park a good way away and walk up to it. read more

Solid wings as always! So glad they now have this location across from Duke with indoor and outdoor seating. Their waffle fries are so good and you can have them with your choice of seasoning. We've tried several of their sauces and loved most of them but if you are not sure about what you like, I'd say you can never go wrong with their classic medium sauce. I love their zesty garlic parm and Carolina honey mustard as well. Sauces I would skip: Their Thai Coconut Chili was a lil bit too coconut-y than Thai chili and the Ol' Vinnie..if you aren't crazy for vinegar--don't go there. The staff here were really nice and attentive, the server we had also let us sample the Ol' Vinie sauce first because he wasn't sure we were gonna like it, and sure enough we passed on it. Overall, I trust Heavenly Buffaloes for great wings. read more

I thought I would grab a half pound of boneless wings on my way home and I'm sort of regretting my decision. I must say that I love the mild sauce, but the chicken pieces(and they were all sorts of random shapes and sizes) were not what I was expecting. I guess I was expecting them to be more like nuggets. I also would have preferred them to have a little bit of crisp/crunch and they were kind of soggy. The blue cheese and carrots were delish! read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend. Having semi-high expectations walking in, the food did not disappoint. The ambiance was great with a sports bar type atmosphere. I got the 7 count bone-in medium spice level wings and half Idaho waffle fry. The wings were spiced right for the flavor designation. People who don't eat spicy food might find it a tad bit more spicy than what they'd imagine. I got 4 drums and 3 flats. The sauce was distributed fairly evenly and was a classic Buffalo taste. The fries were what impressed. Think Chick-fil-A waffle fries but thinner and crispier. Of course that entails more oil, but it wasn't overkill. It also was salted a tad bit more than I would've liked, but it really paired well with the wings. They served a larger portion of fries than necessary for a 7 piece wings. The service was great, and it was quite empty on a Thursday evening. I would go back, but only to try different flavors of wings. read more

Something has changed with the consistency of their vegan nuggets. They used to be denser and chewier, and they're now very airy and and have an unpleasant consistency that feels sort of stringy. The flavor seems a little different, too. We've had two experiences with these "new" vegan nuggets, once here and once at the Markham location, so unfortunately it doesn't appear to be a fluke or bad luck. We had been going to Heavenly Buffaloes for years for their vegan wings, but these are now just unpalatable. And they either gave us the wrong size salad, or their regular/large salad is very small ($9.99 for even a large non-entree salad seems overly expensive regardless). The fries were good, but aren't worth going for alone if you're vegan/vegetarian. read more

I'm so happy this location opened! I'm able to walk here from Dukes campus. We got sweet potato fries and regular fries. They are crispy and delicious! We ordered the garlic Parmesan wings and lemon pepper wings. The wings are crispy and fried fresh. The sauces/dry rubs are delicious. Service is super fast and friendly! I will definitely put this location in my rotation of lunches near work! read more

I've heard lots of great things about HB and so have been wanting to try for a while. I was glad they had a dining option on Erwin. Good: Everyone was very nice and helpful. The wings were great, meaty and not fatty. They had a special on $2 red stripe beer when we went. Bad: i think they probably sold a lot of red stripe. But our 3 beers we drank were barely cool. Not a fan of warm beer. They tried to find me the coldest after so i did appreciate they tried. They only had carrots and no celery due to high cost of celery. Not a big deal. Ugly: I'm posting 3 pictures of the menu and my receipt. 1st is from online, 2nd the menu at the restaurant, 3rd my receipt. I can forgive the online. But when they hand you a menu at the location with a certain price i had expected that on my bill. I asked about it and was told i should have been told the prices aren't correct. I understand but i think it would have been just as easy to either 1. Post a sign at the front (ie. Due to rising cost and shortage of chicken ....- the reason i was given) 2. Put stickers or strike out prices on the menu. 3. Put signs posting actual prices. I would not have minded spending what i was charged just not when their actual prices weren't shown and it was a big difference in price. $6 difference is a huge jump. Food was good and i'd go again. I just don't want to guess or be surprised by my bill. read more
