    Wings - Cajun Dry Rub & Mild. I'd already eaten 3 or 4 before I took the pic. Michelob Ultra draft, and an ice water.
    John M.

    50¢ wings! EVERY. DAY! Generous size, well-cooked, and delicious. I love this place. It's located on the border of Kenmore and Tonawanda. You won't see commercials for Porter's. And if you go online and scour Reddit or Google for wings in the Buffalo, NY area, it will get absolutely buried (and go mostly unnoticed) by fans of other local wing joints. Of course, everyone's heard of the more touristy Anchor Bar and Duff's. WingNutz, a relative newcomer to the game of chicken wings in recent years, has gained popularity, and is vying to be a contender. If you were to ask me a year ago, I'd've said Bar-Bill or Adolf's Old First Ward were my favorite wings - if you didn't have to wait for seats. The thing that struck me the most, a few months ago, when I ventured in here, with a friend after work, was the atmosphere. Followed by the wings. And finally the wallet-friendly prices. The place is a very basic sports bar - nothing fancy, nor do its patrons or staff want it to be. But the bartenders, waitstaff, and cooks are outstanding! It's very family friendly, and you'll see groups of families, friends, coworkers, and groups gathering after Little League or adult softball games. At the bar, you'll see locals, regulars, and newcomers alike. It's also a Bills haven. Side note: one of the things I remember fondly growing up and coming of age in the '90's was the popularity of wings and draft beer and how affordable they were. They were a staple of college kids and the working man alike. Now, post-Pandemic, the, "New Normal," is every Tom, Dick, and Harry place wanting to act all Bougie and frou-frou and trying to sell you overpriced wings and $10 glasses of beer. And everyone just gasps about how great this is. I personally think this new normal sucks. If you go to all these other joints I mentioned, their wings are decent, but you're paying $1.70 to $2.00. FOR. A. SINGLE. CHICKEN. WING. That's $17-$20 for a SINGLE order of 10 wings. What once was an appetizer or snack comprised of jazzed up leftover chicken parts has become an entree - and that's WITHOUT any sides or a salad. At Porter's Place, it's always 50¢ a wing (mild, medium, hot), or 85¢ a wing for specialty wings (Cajun dry rub or Garlic Parmesan). Disclaimer: these are dine-in prices, and I believe you have to purchase a beer or a Pepsi product with them. They don't have, "to-go," boxes, but I suppose you can use the waxed cardboard and foil the wings are served in to bring a few leftovers home. However, you'd probably get banned if you were to smuggle several orders out. My Mich Ultra draft was $4. And Friday will get you a fish fry, fish sandwich, or an order of shrimp. Of course, there are standard appetizers, like mozz sticks, fries, mac and cheese sticks, etc. Those other establishments are all well and good, but I'm heading to Porter's Place for some Cajun Dry Rub wings. Deliciousness, and I'll still have some cash leftover in my wallet!

    The 50 cent wings were so tasty; cooked the way I like them. The place itself it's really chill, laid back and the music was at a nice reasonable level so we could talk to eachother. The service was also nice, the waitress was attentive to all, it's nice spot !

    The wings are very good. Especially for 50 cents. The fries were also good. The lemonade tastes homemade. By the way my wings came out crispy the way I wanted them.

    Garlic Parm $0.75 Wings
    Jonathan S.

    $0.50 hot/med/mild , $0.75 any other sauce. No take-home. Totally worth it. Get a couple beers, play some darts. Enjoy some friggin cheap (and very good) wings. Service is great, lots of big TV's. Good sports bar.

Like an apple cider cocktail! Texas brisket sandwich 10/10 This sandwich was amazing. The brisket was so good. I did put some bbq sauce on it too. The sunrise sizzler 10/10 Medium rare. Cooked perfect. My husband was weary about the egg but he actually loved it. Good burger! Pimento Mac & cheese 8/10 Wasn't my favorite. I didn't love the consistency of the cheese sauce. And it was a little too spicy for me Sweet corn pudding 9/10 Had an interesting flavor and taste to it. You definitely need a couple bites to get used to it, but it was good! Peanut butter Oreo cheesecake 8/10 We got this to go and honestly didn't end up eating much of it. It was good, I just didn't love all the ganache on top.

    First time. Will be back. Cocktail was fair but I've been spoiled by Rochester's "Velvet Belly"…read morewhich only a hotel bar in Ithaca has managed to come close to, and I've been looking for 5 years. But I digress. Attentive service. Had the 2 meat platter with brisket and jalapeño sausage. Brisket very good. Tender and tasty. Sausage was great. Just enough jalapeño bite to keep things interesting. Sides: Mac and Cheese very good. Creamy and also with a nice kick. Sweet potato fries perfect. The honey dipping sauce very tasty. Tried the "sweet corn pudding". Interesting. Cornbread stuffing and corn. Might make for Thanksgiving. Cornbread a bit too smooth, more cakey than coarse. Wife had the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and Honey Poppyseed Coleslaw. The sandwich was huge. It looked great. She enjoyed it. They were fairly busy for a Tuesday, hoping that's a good sign.

I am not a fan of caramel or peanut butter sauce, so asked for these two items to be excluded. I do not know what other cookie flavor choices there are; I just picked chocolate! It was nicely packed up, with the ice cream in a separate container from the warm cookie. Both made it back to my house, the ice cream still solid and the cookie still warm. It is a wonderful treat. I think it might be difficult to order this after eating wings or a pizza or even a salad first, but as a separate treat, quite nice!

    Top-notch spot for wings! We stopped in on a Friday just before 6:00 before heading to a comedy…read moreshow at UB. The location was super convenient. It was a bit busy (30-40 min wait for dining area), but there were a few tables off to the right of the bar where you could seat yourself. Luckily, one opened up right as we walked in. When seated at these tables, you have to order at the bar. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the nuggiez -- the sauce cooled the boneless bites down a little, but the flavor was still great. I loved all the sauces we tried (saucy hot cajun, medium, and garlic parm). The wings were perfectly crisp, and the steak pizza had a ton of flavor. Definitely a heavier meal, but if you're bringing someone from out of town who wants great wings, this is a spot worth taking them to.

The GPS took us to the first location that opened (the waitress said the 1960s) a long time ago. The building is sitting at an angle from the road so go to the right and turn in to park or go past and turn right for the parking lot. Middle of the afternoon on a Thursday they weren't too busy. We were seated immediately and waited on quick. I wanted some clarity with the wing heat. Some places hot is mild or hot is burn your face off. She clarified the medium hot is hot so that's what I decided on for an order of 6. My sister isn't so much of a wing person so she decided on a grilled cheese. The waitress was pleasant and answered all the questions we had. The restaurant itself isn't too big but can seat a lot of people. Total wing vibe. Lots of different flavors and quantities went by...everything looked tasty and fresh. They had Yuengling on tap so that's what I ordered. She had a pepsi. Food arrived fast. The aroma was to die for (ok it burns the eyes a little...). Came with celery and blue cheese. The wings were amazing, some of the best I have ever eaten. Crunchy celery and cool dipping sauce. Bigger than most that I have ordered and very freshly prepared. After 6 I was filled up...but I ordered another brew just to wash it all down. If you're in Buffalo (or the area) it's definitely worth stopping to have a treat. Other Buffalo favorites are on the menu as well (Beef on Weck sandwich. We will definitely be back, more flavors to try and locations to enjoy.

I turned into…read morea little piggy and ordered their Beef-on-Weck & Wing lunch special, with an extra side of fries. So much food, but so good. The sandwich was great and really salty (per the custom), but the bread became soggy pretty quick. I would dip it in the jus and try to bite it but the meat just couldn't be bit through and no matter how hard I tried it just made a sloppy mess. That was disappointing. The wings were ordered Medium Hot which they warn you is "Very Hot"... but it isn't. They were good, but next time I will order Hot because there was little to no burn. The fries were the frozen variety but nice, skinny and crispy. I liked dipping them in the leftover wing sauce. Next time, I will skip the sandwich and just get wings and fries. Hopefully it won't take me 5 years to come back.
