    Wings
    Brianna F.

    Went on a weeknight and there was a wait for a table but bar seating was available. Great service, attentive bar tender. Wings were FANTASTIC. Crispy and hot with tasty sauce. Quiet enough to have a nice chat while still maintaining a bar ambiance.

    Follow up to my original post. Second visit I had the corned beef sandwich. Now I've been to the meca of Deli's, Katz's in NYC. I have to say that this corned beef was just as good which makes it some of the best I've ever had. The sandwich came with fries that were amazing too, but the corned beef was to die for. Sorry, no photo, I was too exited and ate I before I could think about taking a picture. Can't wait for a return trip to Buffalo.

    Great experience ! Nice staff, quick service. The wings and fries are delicious! The garage beer on tap is yummy! Zero complaints! Only complaint is this wild hot weather we having now a days LOL ! Thank you 911 tavern!

    Hot wings

    Amazing wing flavor and size, hot isn't nearly as hot as you'll be expecting! Wings are delicious but note cash only, no tables for more than 6, limited seated. Limited wing flavors (mild, medium and hot only), would love to see a bbq or something! We will be back

    During my wing tour of Buffalo, I tried 7 places across 2 days. This was the last stop. Arguably, at the top of close second. Got the hot wings. Legit heat and so flavorful. This place is no frills. Just my style. The server was so darn friendly. Highly recommend.

    While in Buffalo New York my husband and I were dying to try Buffalo Wings in Buffalo New York!! We decided to stop by Nine-Eleven Tavern. When we showed up they were pretty busy and it was pretty loud. Our waitress took our ordered fast and brought us two local beers to drink as we waited... When our Wings finally arrived I was surprised that they were all really big (to me)! Being a hot wing judge from Reno I thought I had probably tasted some pretty good wings but shut the front door because these are THE BEST WINGS I had ever had in my LIFE!! There was no small talk...or any talk at all once she dropped off these little chunks of heaven on a bone! We devoured them in no time at all...I am surprised that I even got a picture of them! Were they crispy? Yes!! Were they saucy??? Yes!!! Were they the right amount of spicy?? Yes!! Were they the meatest Wings I had ever had?? Yes!!!! When in Buffalo definitely check out Nine-Eleven!! Thanks Nine-Eleven for answering all my Buffalo Wing Dreams!

    Some of the best wings in Buffalo! With this comes a couple down sides. 1- no reservations 2- 6 ppl max per party It is also cash only. The corned beef sandwich was good and the fries there are amazing. I understand some places don't take reservations then they should have a time limit. We waited 2 hours to get seated while there are tables of people finished eating and just sitting. Deff a must try at some point though!

    Best wings in Buffalo without a doubt. Every time I have been there, have had great service. The fries are also absolutely phenomenal. Always a must visit.

    We came to buffalo to try some wings and Nine-Eleven was our last stop. We were full, and only ordered 10 wings. I wish we had come here first. The wings were amazing, the sauce was so flavorful. There was only one waitress for the joint but she was quick and no none sense (which I prefer). The wings were perfectly crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside.

    Pizza logs and 50 wings hot!!!
    Mike M.

    911 is one of the best wing places in Buffalo and hope this place continues to be a secret! We ordered 50 wings hot and they were amazing!! The wings were so saucey and had amazing flavor! We sat out on their small little back patio and really enjoyed our meal! The service was excellent as well!

    Finally made it here for the first time. We ordered 10 mild and 10 hot. We usually split medium and mild, but at the server's recommendation got hot. My first bite into the hot wing was the best chicken wing bite I've ever had. My wife was laughing at me ogling over the wing. Chicken texture was perfect, and the spice was so nice. Great mouthfeel, and amount of heat. Definitely a unique spice blend, different than other Buffalo favorites. I am already craving that perfect texture/ spice combo again. We also had the Finn fries that came out hot and delicious. We liked adding the malt vinegar to them. They served as a great pre-wing starter, with a non-traditional seasoning blend. We sat in the back corner, and enjoyed looking at the golf memorabilia. Everyone just seemed so happy to be there, us included! Servers were helpful and kind. Looking forward to coming back!

    Amazing unique Buffalo Style wings. Well worth the trip. Smaller place that also has delicious fresh cut fries. I would highly recommend.

    New to the area do they do takeout?

    NO takeout! It's a quirky little place, cash only - but they do have the best wings in the city ... you have to deal with the abrupt service and the wait.

    My favorite places have always been Duff's and the Gate, and I would place Nine-Eleven on par with either of those.

    Old school vibe in Old Ward…read more The wings and drinks are awesome. I will go back for some other foods but place was packed on a mid afternoon week day. Now that is awesome!

    We stopped by Adolf's to check out the wings, which have come highly recommended by several friends…read moreas well as online. I've been on somewhat of my own personal wing tour lately and I'm glad we tried Adolf's. We came on a Monday, which is their wing special night, 75 cent wings. We arrived a little before the 5:00 PM rush so we sat right at the bar, ordered and behold, the wings were in front of us in about 5 minutes! Service was very fast and friendly. We ordered hot, and the level of heat was exactly what hot is supposed to be. Saucy, but not swimming in excessive sauce. The wings were crispy outside and juicy inside, that elusive perfectly fried wing. We opted for the homemade blue cheese, and while I liked it, I found it didn't have a strong blue cheese flavor. But they do have two choices of blue cheese type. Carrots and celery were included, not always the case with wing night specials. I would call these elite level, top 10 in Buffalo wings, maybe even top 5. The only reason that I did not score 5 stars was that there we 7 drums and 3 flats - and I am a flat guy. This usually works out well because my wife likes the drums, but this time they definitely skewed in my wife's favor. If it were not the wing special night, I might have said something, but the wings were so good I did not want to register a complaint about the lack of flats. We also ordered the hand cut fries which were hot and excellent. We definitely plan to return.

    10 out of 5 stars. Wow…read more The owner took care of us personally (Patrick). This place is so amazing. We're here from California and this is the BEST food we had on our whole trip. With amazing personal service. This is a must visit.

    This is exactly the kind of place I would eat lunch at everyday if I worked downtown. I walked in…read moreclose to when they opened and the owner was there to welcome me in. He was a really nice guy and told me what his best menu items were. I had heard good things about the steak sandwich and hadn't had one in a while. I opted to get that with some fries. The fries were the best fries I've had. They taste like the ones from McDonald's only better because they aren't doused in salt. The sandwich was perfect. The steak was cooked exactly like it should be and the flavor was incredible. The peppers and onions on top added even more flavor but didn't overpower it. I don't think I've eaten anything faster in recent memory. No take out boxes needed here. The meal is too good not to eat right then. The bar also had a great vibe to it. I'm a big fan of old school style bars and establishments like this. The traditional architecture and nostalgic feeling is perfect here. It's not modernized like every other new bar built in the last decade. It's got character, a great menu, and excellent service. I will definitely be back for more lunch specials and enjoy this spot downtown.

    Totally average fish fry with interestingly seasoned coleslaw, Mac salad and potato salad…read more Breading was crispy but dark and almost burned, leaving the fish flavorless. My suggestion is to call ahead for pick up as seating is as claustrophobic as the parking lot. It took me almost an hour from seating and beverages to having food in front of me. Also, set up a group text with your party as it's too loud to hear a person next to you talk. TLDR food was passable ambiance is what you'd expect from a neighborhood bar with a small kitchen. Takeout is a must with this place. Note, the steak I smelled cooking smelled divine. I should have ordered that.

    The epitome of why Buffalo is called city of good neighbors. We had so much fun sitting at the bar…read moreand loved Patrick/Sponge who was behind the bar serving drinks and on the grill. He made the day! It's a tavern. Youre getting paper towels as napkins and tight seating. And you'll love it. We split the french onion and the fish fry. Im not usually one for fish fry sides. But damn--they were good. Both the Mac salad and the potatoes were excellent (and I dont love mayo) and very dill forward. Fish fry. Our new favorite. Maybe favorite stateside, not just wny. But definitely favorite in WNY. Crispy. Perfectly cooked fish. Not fishy. Huge. We split it. French onion: so much cheese! I ain't complaining. Good broth. Melting onions. Croutons that are not totally mush. Would do over, over and over
