    3/8/25 menu prices.

    Boneless wings, jalapenos rolls & pizza rolls were good. Also included up to date menu & pricing 3/8/25

    Boneless Wings
    Daviyion J.

    Nice, little neighborhood (literal) bar. This place is smack dab in the middle of a residential street and I think it's fantastic, haha. Went on the recommendation of my mechanic and got the boneless wings with housenade BBQ sauce ($7) and a beer. The boneless wing pieces were big and juicy and the house sauce had a nice tangy flavor to it. The bar wasn't too noisy (even with the local hockey team playing) and the staff seemed to friendly and engaging. Was a little disappointed that patrons who arrived and ordered after me received their food before me, but overall the service wasn't slow.

    Literally some of the best wings around. Especially if you like garlic Parm. They are truly parm-y and cheesey and delicious. Great for dining in or getting takeout! Also you NEED to get the pizza logs. They're hand rolled and the best EVER.

    SHAKE N' BAKE! If you're looking for a wing that is different from all the rest, Sal's is the spot. This place extremely small and is smack dab in the middle of a residential neighborhood in Depew, but it all adds to the experience. The wings are breaded and then tossed. We ordered their medium (cross between medium and BBQ), garlic parm, and Cajun. All were pretty good, but pretty salty and the wings were not as big as I remember. I heard they changed ownership since I was last here. If you're not in the mood for wings or don't like a breaded wing, order the roast beef or homemade pizza logs.

    While attempting a small scale wing tour, I came across an article that listed Sals as a "cult classic" and knew we had to check it out. This place is smack in the middle of a neighborhood which I absolutely love. When I walked in I actually said aloud "This feels like home". The smell of this place brought back some memories of some of my favorite bars from my hometown in Lockport. It's a small bar area with some seating then another adjoining room has some dining room ish seating. We sat down ( don't wait to be seated just pick a table) and was immediately greeted by the bartender to take a drink order. We both got bud light drafts that were very large and only $3.25 each. Make sure to pay attention to the sauce descriptions on the menu before ordering as they aren't typical hot, med, mild. It goes from bbq to med/hot to suicide quickly. I got the med/hot which had a flavor of a classic hot wing - pretty spicy in my opinion. My husband regrettably got the hot suicide. The wings have a breading on them but still pretty crispy and tasty. It was different in a good way- loved them! I do wish they had celery instead of carrots. Overall a great dive bar with awesome wings and staff! Wing rating: 8.5/10

    Recently, I was at Sal's and felt like the wing quality has changed. Before this visit, I was there about 2 years ago and thought it was fantastic. This recent time, I thought the wings were soggy, and not as how I remembered them to be. the sauce was great, but the wings could have been cooked longer and I was a little disappointed. There weren't that many people in the restaurant and only another table, besides mine eating, so I'm not sure what the hurry was to get our wings out on the table. I'll give them another try in a few months, but other wing places have ruined me and I think that is one factor why I didn't enjoy Sal's as much as I once had.

    Came here with a group of friends after a spring event and let me tell you, we'll keep coming back! First things first, Sal's is located in an unexpected location - it's a small neighborhood establishment with incredible wings. I don't think I have EVER had wings as tender and juicy as the ones here. Definitely order a double order and you will be in heaven. For flavors - thee mild is a delicious BBQ-esque and a tad bit spicy but so good. They are the perfect amount of sauce and wing. I noticed they are breaded - which is pretty cool and they do it very, very well. Same with the vinegar wings - not vinegary - just so tasty! Location: Typical small local bar - area to stand and watch sports. There is a small back area to sit with a few tables and booths. We really enjoy going to Sal's and can't wait to stop back in!

    Sal actually stands for the Salad that you should order instead of the wings because the wings are really, really not impressive. I know a lot of people love them though, and these things are a matter of taste. They're more along the lines of Bar Bill wings, which are awesome but not my fave... only way smaller, even more dry, and not so tasty. In my opinion, the type of wings served here is past its Sal-By date. These are supposed to be some of the best wings around. I went here with a good friend and to say they were underwhelming would be a massive understatement. I didn't like them at all... they were tiny... it didn't help that we got the wrong flavours but that wasn't because we ordered them wrong... we were fairly specific and the waitress messed up the order. That's okay though. Price-wise, they're more expensive than most wing places, and the fact that the wings are baby sized and miniature and not juicy or wet at all just added to my misery. In fact the only reason I wouldn't give this a 1 or 2 is because my friend was kind enough to take me there, I don't think he was overly impressed either, but he was great company so there was that. The service was pretty good too so that is a plus. The atmosphere in the place is very authentic, it's a true back street Buffalo tavern and I like that. Also there is the fact that it's a beloved family-owned business and while I didn't like the wings at all, they weren't inedible (Buffalo Wild Wings microwaved wings, anyone?). So it's a M.O.R. rating from me here.

    Sal's Lounge is a hard to find neighborhood dive bar that serves some decent wings. I wouldn't say they are the best, but they are definitely the crispiest and most breaded-wings that I've ever tried. Rumor has it that they used to serve the largest chicken wings in all of Buffalo, but recent supplier issues caused them to downsize 'em. Curious to try these wings, I came with a fellow Yelper and we split an order of 10 wings. As you come in, don't expect a hostess...just seat yourself and someone will probably come over. Our waitress was super nice and helpful. She let us split our single order of wings and we received half Medium (which was more like Medium BBQ) and half Garlic Parmesan. The wings were served with some blue cheese and a bag of baby carrots. There were like 14 served to our order which was unexpected (we only expected 10). Their medium sauce is more of a BBQ-style and I wanted a bit more of a kick. I would prefer more of the traditional style wings, although these were tasty...the side of blue cheese was definitely not house made and the $1 variety you would find at Wal-Mart. You could definitely taste the difference and the bagged carrots show the place to be more of a divey style. All in all, I just didn't like the wings that much, but definitely appreciate the neighborhood-feel of this pub. Check it out! You may like the wings more than me!

    We found Sal's lounge on a list of top Buffalo wing spots. I'd never even heard of Sal's before reading this list, so it seemed like an interesting addition to our impromptu wing tour today. Sal's is a small neighborhood bar that you'll probably miss if you don't live in the area or don't know about it already. It's kind of divey, but honestly it's a dive in the best way. The place is a bit outdated decor wise and smells like old beer, but the people are friendly and the beers are cheap so it felt like home. My wife and I split an order of wings, she opted for medium-hot (their version of hot) and I went for hot (which both the menu and the waitress warn you are closer to 'suicide' wings). First thing you'll notice about these wings are their appearance. At first glance I did a double take because I thought we were given boneless wings. Turns out we were not, they just seem to have an odd shape because the wings were breaded before they were fried. They had a fried chicken like consistency and honestly I was all about it. I really think it made for one of the most unique wings in Buffalo. The only problem the meal was the fact that I ordered the wings hot. I like hot foods. I normally order my wings hot, hot extra saucy, or extra hot. I could drink the "hot" sauce at Duffs by the gallon and be fine. With all that being said, the "Hot" wings here completely shut me down. The first wing was good but as I worked my way through the plate, the heat from each wing compounded on top of the last. After 4 wings my eyes and nose had turned into a steady faucet, my tongue felt like it was burning out of my head. Overall I think we had a great experience here. This is a true Buffalo bar in just about every way. I can't wait to get back here again in the future and order anything else except for their "Hot" hot sauce.

    Always delicious wings from Wingnutz! I order on Uber Eats a lot as they have a bogo deal. This…read moretime we tried the Signature, lemon pepper, medium, and their sauce of the week which was Cajun honey garlic. Just fyi the medium sauce is spicy and more like a medium hot. I would order mild next time personally. The flavor of the week was delicious and probably my favorite of the bunch! Just keep in mind when they tell you (at least on Uber Eats) a pick up time it's always at least 10 minutes later. That's been pretty consistent since I've been ordering from there and now I just factor that in

    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.
