    55 cents for boneless chicken wings (On Tuesday's)?!?! That's what's up! Honestly, the chicken itself is really juicy and delicious. I have no complaints! The sauce is varied. Although I prefer sauce at BWW, I'd have to say that for the price, it can't be beat. I haven't had any problems with service or order, but it was nothing to write home about. This is a slight upgrade from fast food places, but definitely not as comprehensive as a full blown restaurant. Want something quick to eat without breaking the bank? Can't go wrong here with either buffalo fries or boneless wings.

    Buffalo Fries with Special Sauce, add ranch

    Great service, quick and so so yummy! Manager and cashier were really nice and attentive when picking up my order!

    So I've been eating here since they originally opened in 2013 I'm never the type of person to complain about prices of food especially if it's good like this place I moved away from Compton about a year and half ago and I still go back home and eat at Buffalo spot I always get a 10 piece tenders with but now they don't even have a 10 piece and your telling me 8 chicken strips are 35$ i understand inflation but this ain't not steak yes I'll gladly pay the price for the food like I ended up doing so sadly but yea buffalo spot do better DONT FORGET WHERE YOU COME FROM great food just terrible prices

    66 cent per sauce  When they barely even added any sauce

    they added a dash of sauce to my plate & charged 66 cent for this little ass container

    I come here spot not bad food not bad BUT the amount of chicken or shrimp u get is beyond me and I'm not even one to complain but how do I order a small shrimp buffalo fries they only put 5 shrimp and added little chicken pieces in there to make it seem like more waste of money!

Each time we passed by, it seemed like they were closed and or never answered their phone when we called to see if they were open. We kept telling each other one day we're going to stop by and see if they actually are open. So on Friday after exiting the freeway I made my way to Jim Dandy and saw folks going in and coming out. This location is in the middle of the hood. They have bulletproof windows once inside and this location is order and pickup, no dining available. I didn't see the menu until I was done with ordering. Which made it hard for myself. I seen the menu after I ordered. I walked out with 12 pieces of chicken regular not spicy. Corn fritters, macaroni salad, peach cobbler and a banana pudding. Once home we set up our table and began to devour our food. We were blown away with the chicken it is better than most places we have been to not saying any names. The pieces of chicken were huge fresh and crispy. The macaroni salad was just right amount of mayo and seasoning. The peach cobbler was wrapped perfectly not damaging the crust. The banana pudding was a little watery not sure if that was due to the heat going on in the bag as everything was bagged together. I immediately put it in refrigerator so it could get cold and become solid than running. I have no idea what there hours are next time I go in I'll ask or look for signs. There is plenty parking not that folks stay long. Food seems to come out in a timely manner. So parking comes and goes. I cannot wait to try there dirty rice and corn fritters without the powder sugar. I didn't get a photo of them as they got devoured.

What a great find. It's a counter-order, takeout-style spot, which was no problem at all. The service was solid. The guy who took my order also handled putting everything together, and you can tell when someone's on it--nothing was missing and everything came out right. I ordered a 3-piece, and it definitely hit the spot. The chicken was flavorful and satisfying, and the onion rings were just as good--crispy and delicious. I got there a little late, and it felt like a true local spot. Everyone was relaxed, just there for some really good fried chicken. No hype--just good food.

If the feeling of "I don't want to be here" could be personified, it would look like Angel. Angel was turned around, I said hello and he turned around but didn't make eye contact but he had a mean scowl on his face. Angel said it'd be five minutes for us to be seated. I said cool. Angel walked away. A few other people pull up after we arrived and out of nowhere, another server by the name of Abram comes by and looks at the waiting list. Abram walks over to one of the couples that arrived after us and asks what name they had listed on the waiting list and then walks them over to sit them. A few moments later, Angel returns and tells Abram that we'd arrived first but Abram shrugged and then they started whispering amongst themselves. We continued to wait for about ten minutes while Abram just stands around being completely useless. Abram never said a single word to us. Not an apology for the delay. Not a single acknowledgement. Abram kept looking up at the ceiling, perhaps praying to a deity that we disappear and leave. We opted to make Abram's prayer come true by leaving. Based on the tacky signage posted, it's easy to see why this has such a low rating. Avoid.

Those are probably some of the best and most consistent items on the menu. Two other items that I've had that I'd recommend improvement are: - garlic cheese tater tots. They're bland in flavor, could use a bit of pepper or spice. Had to ask for sriracha to dip it to make it better. - lemon pepper flavored wings. I've tried these on two separate occasions. The flavor is bland and really missing the lemon/citrus accent. Both times I've had them, they mostly just tasted like oil, almost nutty in flavor. Service here is okay. The staff is friendly and constantly moving around. Sometimes it can be hard to get a hold of someone, especially if they're in the back where customers can't see them. It's a small to medium sized restaurant so expect it to be busy and packed on nights and weekends. Also keep in mind that the parking lot is shared in a plaza, but they also have an underground parking garage too. Overall, would come back, but for only specific things.

The staff were nice and welcoming but wasn't as helpful as there were plenty of deals I didn't know about as a first timer, which could have benefited me. When I got home I realized despite saying bbq sauce on the side, they still sauced my wings and they were soggy by the time I got home so I needed to put them in the air fryer. The chicken had good flavor because of the sauce but it was not seasoned. The tenders were nice size, crispy and SPICY! their dry rub definitely was extremely spicy to the point I couldn't finish all 3 tenders. The fries were fresh crispy and seasoned and really good. After I left I noticed on the window there was a daily deal similar to what I ordered, I wish the staff would have notified me to help me save a couple bucks.
