Some of the best wings and beef on weck in Buffalo. But everyone already knows this. Great servers and cooks.

Wings might have been the crispiest I've ever had. The homemade hot sauce is different, but pretty tasty. Fries were excellent. My friend got a beef on weck that looked tremendous as well Super small inside & it didn't help that it was 90+ degrees outside but real solid food read more

Wings in Buffalo....you just HAVE to do it! We are on a tour of NE and we wanted to get wings from Buffalo. This place was awesome in all aspects. It was a a dive, but in the BEST of ways. I showed up to this place with my wife and 3 kids (all under 12) and I am sure we stood out like a sore thumb, but who cares! Every person that came into this bar, knew the other person and we were the only outsiders. They still treated us AMAZING! The waitress was friendly, inviting, gave us all the info that we had. We got the medium and garlic parm wings. Medium was SO fricken good, love it, only problem was that I ordered too many garlic parm. Should have just stuck with the medium. Not that they were bad, but just wanted more medium wings. Big ole tub of fries to go with it as well. The vibes in this places were great, love that it was all about friends and family. Even though we were not local, it still felt like we belonged! Go to this place! read more

Kelly's Korner is a Buffalo mainstay so I guess it's not surprising the wings are the main attraction. Wings were great. We had them medium and homemade hot. The homemade hot are among the best wings I've ever had. You have to try them. We also got a beef on weck sandwich which was outstanding. Prices are reasonable and the beer was cold. The bar is lively and music is kind of loud which isn't my vibe but doesn't stop me from going back because the food is so good. read more

The wings are delicious! Can't stress it enough. I'm not sure how the rest of the food is but I can vouch for the wings. We split 30 wings and got half medium half hot bbq. The hot bbq didn't really have heat it was more savory. The medium was perfect with the crisp and flavor. Can't stress enough how good the wings are. The service is friendly too. Their hours are not updated on Yelp so definitely check ahead of time. read more

Researching "Kelly's Korner" in advance of our next wing outing, the top Google search results were a blog site written by Kelly Stamps from Arkansas and a three year old Yelp review of a dive bar in Kenmore, so we knew we were in for a treat. Location: 2 / 5 Kelly's Korner decided not to put the savings from neglecting their online presence over the last 25 years towards any updates to the décor (it's like a time capsule), bathrooms or on cleaning products. If the moldy basement odor wasn't enough, the palpable inconvenience of our presence on the wait staff reinforced the experience. In fairness, we made the unreasonable request of sitting down (on seats of any kind) with some type of nearby surface upon which to place and consume our food and beverage purchases. Presentation: 2.5 / 5 This is a "bonus" category. As you've seen in past reviews, many places will seek to improve the diner's experience with the way they plate the wings or prepare the bleu cheese or serve the drinks, etc. Kelly's Korner didn't feel the need to fuss with any of that and instead we got a handful of plates of wings smeared in red sauce. We get it, you want to let the wings speak for themselves... Meat: 4 / 5 Medium-sized wings that weren't too skimpy, not too large and mostly all the same size and shape. Cook: 6 / 10 The specialty wings came out nice and hot, which was a good sign, but the many were way overcooked and as dry as a dead dingo's donger (shout out to our many Aussie followers). Standard Wing: 11 / 15 The dryness aside, the sauce flavor was between okay and pretty good. The application of sauce was inconsistent with some dripping in sauce and some where we struggled to find much flavor at all. Overall just okay. Specialty Wing: 5 / 10 Parmesan was the highlight flavor but it was a downhill slide from there. We tried the Hot BBQ flavor and "passable" was the most enthusiastic adjective heard at the table. Standard BBQ was a new level of awful - somewhere in the neighborhood of plain ketchup. Overall we left quite underwhelmed and confused that this place ranked as high as it did with other reviewers. Overall Score: 30.5 / 50 read more

An OG BUFFALO STAPLE. Eat the Beef. Eat the wings. Have a LANATTS! It's still the same vibe as it was 40 years ago. And that's swell!!

The institution. The guide to which all institutions should model themselves after. Every person in the place was scripted to be there well before we entered. Kelly has a wonderful smile. She makes the world spin around. Hands down best service. Best attitudes. Best wings I've ever had. I think what it comes down to is refining to perfection an absolutely simple selection. Get right what you do have. Perfect ambiance. Makes you feel right at home. If HOME is Buffalo NY. read more

I took my last drink in Kelly's 45 years ago when I was still interested in drinking myself to death. Mrs Kelly was a saint. Good roast beef on weck. Loved the nights of hockey on the TV without sound and sad country music on the jukebox. read more

Best beef on wick in Buffalo, the wings are also awesome . French fry's are delicious. Any time I'm in the area I always stop there.

Like two of the other baffled tourists who were also at Kelly's Korner for lunch this past weekend, we could not understand what people on the Internet seemed to like about the food at this place. We went here because when you search "best wings in Buffalo" and read the countless threads and forums, Kelly's Korner comes up time and time again. Here's our honest experience. Food: - Wings (house hot) were awful. The sauce was excessively vinegary, and lacked any complexity to the flavor. Straight up Frank's Red Hot would have tasted better. The wings themselves were chewy, low grade wings. - Tenders were not made in house. We were told as much by the staff. Any place that is buying them tenders frozen from Restaurant Depot cannot be good. - Beef on Weck was like others have described. A slab of wet, raw, beef. With some salt thrown on top of a bun. We didn't finish it. That's how disgusting it was. Ambiance: - What ambiance? It's a dive bar, where you don't want to eat food after touching any surface. The bathrooms were tiny (room for one, barely), with doors that didn't close if you were larger than a small child. Don't be the morons that we were. Contrary to what seems to pop up online, Kelly's Korner is terrible for wings, and probably one of the worst meals I've had this year. read more

It was Monday, St. Patricks Day and wanted corn beef sandwiches my 2 girlfriends and I. We decided to hit Kelly`s as we all know that good food and good times are enjoyed in the neighborhood dive bars! It didn`t disappoint! The sandwiches were HUGE, tender and flavorful on GREAT rye bread. (unseeded) The Bar Maid was Kim and she was attentive, personable and quite busy working the bar and tables. Service was excellent and timely. Would definitely go back for other Buffalo staples. read more

Best Beef on Weck in Buffalo. Perfect Medium wing sauce. Amazing house-made hot wing sauce. (not Buffalo). Great fries.

I met some friends here at 5:30pm last night. My one friend heard the wings were really good and they are! I ordered 30 wings. (10 mild, 10 garlic parm, and 10 hot.) The 10 hot were technically for my boyfriend but I didn't say to go because I didn't want to pay an additional amount for that. (The menus are on grease boards on the wall. Their pricing on these menus includes tax. Any to go wing orders had an additional fee.) I tried some of each of the wings. I asked for extra sauce for the hot wings because my wings didn't look like my friend's wings. Hers were very saucy and mine looked more like a dry rub. I wasn't charged any additional amount for that but my friends were charged extra when they asked for additional blue cheese. I didn't say extra crispy but I didn't have to. The wings were hot and perfect. My favorite out of the three were the garlic parm ones. They were seasoned really well and some had a lot of parm on them! My one friend ended up ordering beef on weck. It was piled high and she enjoyed it. This venue used to be cash only but they now accept credit cards. There is only street parking for this venue. It's popular, and is at the beginning of a residential street, so you may have to park far away. read more

My friend and I worked in PA for the weekend and drove to NY to see the Niagara Falls. On the way back to PA, we stopped at Kelly's Korner for dinner. The plane is "hole in the wall" we were greeted by a lady, Tina, she was just freaking AMAZING. She was the only server and made us feel like we were the only people in the restaurant. She sat down with us to take our order. She recommended few things to us. My friend got a pot pie soup and she LOVED it. We also got wings... got their hot wings... and let me tell you... they were the MOST DELICIOUS AND TASTY wings I ever had in my life. The sauce was so flavourful and the wings were crispy. If you are driving by like us or you are from the area, you really need to stop by and see Tina. read more

Great neighborhood establishment. Very good wings and the service was prompt. It was very busy the day we went, and they said it would be a 45-minute wait for a wing order. No problem. They arrived in 45 minutes. Old school bowling game to keep you occupied and a great jukebox. All good. read more

Don't expect anything too fancy or to be welcomed in with open arms but the place has solid food. Their hot wings and some roast beef are a solid remedy to any hunger and the prices are beyond fair. Now, you might have to sit next to some oddball, but that's all part of the allure and they have shuffleboard bowling, so that'll help pass the time! read more

I have really been hesitating to write this since I know how hard bars and restaurants were hit over covid but eating at Kelly's was by far the worst experience I have ever had ANYWHERE. Every Monday my friends and I go out to a new place for wings. Last Monday I finally got to try Kelly's. The guys in my group are absolutely obsessed with their wings. Upon entering one of my friends were sitting at the bar and the rest of the stools were taken so I stood next to him. There was a small table next to the kitchen that was unoccupied, but had condiments and cleaning supplies on it. I made eye contact with the bartender multiple times and I got no greeting, no "what can I get you", nothing. Whatever, I figured she was probably busy since she was taking care of the bar and dining room. When she walked by I asked if we could sit at the table. No response, she just walks over and takes everything off. So we sit there. We eventually ended up moving to the bar once more stools opened up. I had to ask 3 times for water. Again, I chalked it up to her just being busy, maybe she forgot and she'd get it to me eventually. All of us ordered wings and were told it would be an hour and 45 minute wait. We agreed to wait and I asked for medium and garlic parm mixed. After waiting for two hours for our food my wings came out and there was no garlic parm. After my 3rd attempt of getting her attention to tell her they forgot the garlic parm her response was "that's what you asked for, it's there". It was most certainly NOT there. Pictured are the wings after she nastily told me that my wrong order wasn't wrong, snatched my food away and went into the kitchen and had them add it. I think I would've been able to tell if the garlic parm was there. Then she practically tossed them back on the bar at me. At this point I didn't even want the food anymore. She didn't come over to ask how anything was. Anytime my friends asked for another beer it was an inconvenience. I sat there wanting to leave for at least 20 minutes because she wouldn't come over to cash us out. One of my friends asked her if they could have a box after myself and another told her we didn't need one. Under her breath she said "I just asked if you wanted a box", again with an immense amount of attitude. She probably didn't mean for me to hear her. I couldn't wait to leave. The worst part is is that my friends said that she's not even the worst one that works there. I don't know why they frequent this place so much. I work too hard for my money to go somewhere to be treated like absolute garbage by their staff. I will never be back. read more

One of the best wing spots in the city, known for their homemade hot sauce and beef on weck also. Dingy dive bar vibes

So I am not a "dive bar" type of person but by a chance encounter I heard about this sandwich called "Beef on Weck" during a bike tour of the city. It was the last day of my stay in Buffalo and this was the only still open place offering the sandwich which I read about online. It was a bit out of the city but I partially wanted my trip to Buffalo to be gastronomic so I went. At first I was fairly self conscious because Kelly's is geared towards locals then random tourists and I didn't want to out myself taking pictures. Once I got my Heineken though I eased up. The interior is fairly small but on this day it was not busy (I think it was a weekday before 5pm when I showed.) Kellys has sports playing on the tv, various skill games strung around and lots of personal photos/mementos across the bar. When I finally got my "Beef on Weck" I thought it was fairly good. It was much meatier then I thought it would be and I am glad about that. It was like a meaty french dip but in a salt roll. It paired nicely with beer. After eating I also enjoyed some of the games around the restaurant. There was this one which simulates bowling but with a hand puck! Haven't seen that type of game before and I enjoyed dominating it. I am glad I had the opportunity to try this Buffalo classic while still in the city. Kelly's was a very memorable and friendly experience which I won't forget. read more

People have been telling me about this place for the past 40 years, why it took me so long to finally go here is definetly my loss. It's a dive, two tables two booths and a bar, but the food........incredible! The roast Beef was outstanding. Most places in Buffalo that claim to have a great Beef on Weck (Mitchels, Swabll's, Swiston's) do not. Kelly's Corner does. Same for the chicken wings (Duff's, Gabriel's Gate) do not compare. And they had Polish Sausage and Liverwurst on the menu. Does it get and better than that? The prices were more than reasonable (except for the wings, they were a couple of bucks more than average) THe drink prices were stupid cheap and the young man that served as bartender/waiter was pleasant, professional and competent. My final comment to my group of five as we left our luncheon was "Anyone wish to return for dinner" I'll be back soon, i'd be foolish not to. read more

Excellent Roast Beef, Wings, Chili, etc. Delicious food,well prepared and reasonably priced.... Highly recommended and highly rated!!!

Good was plentiful. Wings were no better than other wing places. Staff was awful - attitudes, rudeness and arrogance.

I don't know Kelly personally, but I can tell you that Kelly understands what "extra crispy" means! I'm still puzzled by their "Hot Wing" because it's something I can't describe or define as anything other than "brilliantly different"yet just as pleasant as normal & loved hot wing. PS. Kelly if your reading this, thank you read more

they should get 6 stars, I heard they have the best Roastbeef on wreck, so I came from Orchard park & % worth the ride during rush hour. I've been to Schwab's, Conners, & Wiechec & they should all get a 1/2 star., dry roast beef on a hard ( old) roll Kelly's Korners on Delaware Ave is the best !! Lots of beef , the kimmel wreck was fresh My New Go To Place for the Best well worth driving 20-25 miles . read more

A great place to come for some late night drinks and food. Always a good vibe here and the prices are affordable.

No star review!!! What a joke! Remove them from the Wing Trail immediately. Ambiance? What ambiance, the place is a you know what hole. And I enjoy eating in such places. We ordered a couple of beers, 20 wings and an order of fries. We got the beers at least. We arrived Friday at 3:20. At 4:20, still no food and no response from the server. We had finished our beers and the server didn't seem interested. We inquired as to our food and informed the server that people who arrived after us were being served. She rolled her eyes and started that the cook had lots of other orders. We stated once again that others who ordered after us were being served. She mumbled something and went into the kitchen. Five minutes later we left never to return! We would never, ever recommend this establishment to anyone!!! This place is thrash!!! read more

As I was coming in I noticed the menu on the wall which was pretty cool. Coming here doesn't ever disappoint. Wings always on point! Crispy & flavorful. We eat garlic wings & hot wings with a side of French fries which we eat them all, meaning me.. lol. Also the beef on weck was very flavorful & Juicy on point. The waitress was very kind and also brought us celery with a few blue cheeses for dipping, I sipped all that food down with some H2O. Music playing in the background as well, so it was definitely an enjoyable time. If your in the area definitely check this place out... read more
