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

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

Great local spot that says they might have the best wings in Buffalo. Got the house hot and they were perfect. Tad crispy. Top wings and priced fairly. Cheap drinks too. Was a little crowded for lunch. Definitely off the beaten path. read more

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

Kelly's Korner - Second half of my BOW. - American Near Me - Buffalo, New York

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.

Stopped in yesterday 11/21/24 with a friend. Both of us had beef on weck. I had a Tullamore Dew and soda back. Pepsi for my friend. Been here many times usually at night but,today was lunch. Service was quick and courteous with a good crowd of people the bartender handled it fine. The sandwiches were very good as I remembered them to be. Good neighborhood place. read more

Top notch wings were great and the Roast Beef was amazing i would recommend Kelly's to anyone who wants a great experience

A unique wing like none other. Have had bar bill, nine eleven tavern, and duffs and this place tops all of them. read more

From walking in until walking out, nothing but a great experience. The beef on weck was the best I have ever had!!! The fries were hot and delicious with the gravy. The horseradish cleared my sinuses and the au jus was perfect. The price was very reasonable. I will definitely be back!! read more

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

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!!

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

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

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

Yum! Great service- good food. Had wings and roast beef sandwich, both were good. Will definitely 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

Best Beef on Kimmelweck in the country. This is a staple in Buffalo,NY. Kelly's Korner is a hole in the wall bar with the best damn beef on weck you could ever find. 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!!!

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

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

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

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

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

Ordered Beef on Weck, to go. Came without Au Jus. Makes one angry once you get back home 18 min. away. Otherwise, 4 story beef on Weck would have been Mucho Impressive. Basically, got a dry Arby's sandwich, for more money and a long drive. read more

These might be the best wings I've ever had. Their house made sauce and just the way they cook the wings is so good. I love the atmosphere and the service is great too. read more

This has been on the list for a long time and we finally got out there. We just ordered wings and boy oh boy were they delicious. We just did take out so we didn't hang around but would love to go back and try something else! read more

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

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

My friend and I stopped here on our trip for the best wings and beef on weck! The atmosphere and service were exactly what we wanted- hometown Buffalo, old school, no nonsense. We will be back! 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

Came in specifically for the wings and weck on a roll- I must say both were excellent. Went to school here and I have eaten my fair share of wings over the years- these are right at the top of the list! Friendly staff and patrons! If you're looking for a fancy tablecloth restaurant to eat-this isn't the place for you. If you want great tasting large wings and roast beef, this is for you! Thanks! read more

First place I went to when I got into Buffalo. I was craving a beef on weck and they pulled through. It was definitely the best one I had on my week trip to Buffalo. The wings were a great side to go with it. I like a good dive corner bar so this was a great first stop on a Buffalo food tour. read more

Are you kidding me, I love Kelly's Korner. Great Wings! Fantastic Wings! Holding my breath until my next trip to Buffalo!

Yes it's a dive bar. When I tell locals that I visited Kelly's they always say, "wow I haven't been there in years! Why on earth would you go there?!?!" The answer is that we went to Kelly's because it is constantly listed as a top wing establishment in Buffalo. No matter how it looks on the outside or in. The wings did not disappoint. Wow! Large and crispy and appropriately sauced. Good bleu cheese too. We also got the beef on weck and that too was top notch. The place might need a face lift, or not who am I to judge, but the food can remain the same. Because it was great!!!! read more

I had a medium order of wings. They were delicious. It was a take-out, but they were ready when I arrived. The woman that waited on me, was friendly & invited me to come back. The bar was crowed, but looked comfortable. I will definitely return! read more
