Sooo good. Never had buffalo fries before this, was pleasantly surprised. The chicken was tender and juicy, went well with the fries! Make sure to eat soon or the fries get soggy. Quick service and fun interior. Great pick for a quick lunch! read more

I was looking for a place to get some wings for dinner. I found this spot through Yelp. When I entered the restaurant I was greeted by staff. Staff were friendly and polite. I ordered 6 boneless wings. The flavor was Jamaican jerk. The boneless wings were delicious. The ambiance is customer friendly. The menu had some great menu options. read more

I had a bad experience yesterday 04/24/26, the wings were stale, cold, and hard. Every bite I took I had to spit up because it wasn't even edible. The fries, also cold and stale. This had been the food quality ever since I received it, because I had tried it. I had to bring the food back in order to get my refund, the cook in the back was pitching in to the cashier that it had been an hour (only had been 30 minutes, I had to drive back) and to not give me my refund after the cook was the one to tell me to bring the food back over the phone when I complained. The refund wasn't processed there and then, told me I had to wait. So I left with no food and no sure update regarding my refund. Is also very pricey, I paid $50. Still haven't had an update since. Spent $50 and left the food with them. I've contacted the store multiple times, the cook who is the "supervisor" is very dismissive and rude. They told me the owner would contact me and I had to call them and force the information out of them. Horrible service will not be coming back which is very unfortunate because it used to be my favorite spot. read more

Stopped by for lunch Tuesday afternoon, the girl up front was great, friendly and helpful, the restaurant was kept clean, so 5/5 to the staff and cleanliness. The execution of the food was also great, well served but for the food itself.. the chicken pieces seemed notably chewy and tougher for about half of my regular sized buffalo fries. Sauce and everything tasted great, just the chicken left me wondering if it was real meat. Needs better quality chicken! read more

The menu and food looked good so we decided to give em a try. It's located furtherest from the Albertsons. The staff was nice and friendly, My order was to go and it took a couple of minutes. The fries were ok, but the chicken was dry and over cooked. Possibly pre-cooked and reheated to order? It wasn't very good. I am willing to try the other items on the menu and see if it gets any better. read more

What a fun gem to find! We were just walking around the area as we came for something else but I was craving some fries and decided to check this spot out. Idk if we were hungry but the buffalo fries we got was fantastic! We liked it so much that we came back a week later and to our surprise we weren't just hungry the last time as the second time was also great! If you're in a pinch and want a quick bite (not being health conscious ) I would definitely check this spot out. If I lived closer this spot might be a problem for me because I would get it more often. Don't judge a book by its cover haha is what I think about this spot read more

Tried this place multiple times to give them the benefit of the doubt, each time the fries were soggy / tasted like reheated leftovers and the wings definitely were not fresh either. Soggy wings and almost 100% certain they're just reheated, got sick too read more

This place is really close to the UCI campus, and therefore brings lots of students. As you might expect because of its ideal location, it's not cheap -- but on Tuesdays there is a deal for 60 cent boneless wings (which is really fried chicken breast tossed in sauce)! My favorites are the mango habanero and Cajun, but if you want some very spicy wings go for the atomic. My only complaint is quality control because sometimes the wings aren't very crispy/not fully covered in sauce (which tends to happen when there are a lot of people waiting). There is a communal seating area outside, but also tables within the shop itself. You order food like a fast food chain, but it has a semi-open kitchen concept and it looks like the chicken breast they use is fresh. read more

Service was wonderful. Workers were very accommodating to my needs. Tried the Lemon Pepper traditional wings which I was warned would take a long wait to cook. Lemon pepper flavor specifically not worth the wait and Cajun fries were under seasoned but wings were nicely cooked. Loveee the milk shakes. Not too pricy so would come back but for another wing flavor!! read more

So I tried this spot for the first time ordering the Cheetos buffalo fries. The cashier was nice and she recommended that or the mango habanero. The fries didn't match up to the hype. The chicken was a bit hard to chew which made my jaw hurt somewhat and the seasoning wasnt the best. I would have given them a 2 but because of the cashier I gave it a 3. Either try something different or another spot. read more

This post is mainly for the worker named Michelle. Has so bright respectful and has a beautiful smile. This business has a great employee who definitely brings in customers. I am still their number one customer it just tastes so delicious. My only complaint is still it's a bit overpriced for a large garlic Parmesan buffalo fries with 2 special sauces on the side it's $17.45. I can't and won't eat it without the special sauces I wish I could get 3 but that's just too expensive. read more

Their "fresh" Buffalo wings tasted like frozen grocery store wings mixed with a huge amount of Buffalo sauce that's from any fast-food chain. Workers were nice, but don't recommend coming here for your wings craving. Maybe their other items taste better but don't get the Buffalo wings. read more

Do NOT go here, you will get sick! I ordered the boneless meal with jalapeño/pineapple sauce. 1. The wings did not have sauce, they were dry. So i asked for a side of buffalo sauce which was $.65 cents. That's not the issue. 2. I bit into one of the wings and tasted a nasty taste and when i looked closely the chicken was RAW!!!!!! 3. I called back and told the older gentleman with glasses and i told him i wanted a refund. He said do not worry, bring it back. 4. When i got there i spoke to the "manager " LEO. I explained to him the situation and said the wings didn't have sauce, it was raw and overall I didn't like it anymore. Leo said he did add sauce, but that it dried out because the wings are hot. What?? Also, I got grossed out after seeing saw chicken. So I asked for a refund and Leo said NO! He said I cannot give you a refund just because you didn't like it. He said I made the order correctly so no refund! He also said he did his job right because he set the right timer for the chicken to be cooked. Clearly not because it was RAW I didn't like my order because again the chicken was raw! He said he could remake my order, but I said no. I was already grossed out and had a stomach ache. Why would I want to eat there again. I demanded a refund and he kept saying no. I asked to speak to another manager and he said there was no one else aside for the owner. I asked for the owners name and email and he said he couldn't give me that information because he was fixing the issue himself and had no need to involve him. What happened to customer service. He was arguing with me for about 5 minutes refusing to give me a refund. I paid $21 for raw chicken!!!! I will not be going back, because I did get sick! The next day I had diarrhea and was throwing up. Please look at the picture and see how pink the chicken is. Overall, bad food, bad customer service, Leo definitely needs more training when it comes to customer service and being sympathetic with customers. read more

Finally, a really good Buffalo Wings food joint! For one, actually got smiles from the staff as they greeted me walking in the store (what a concept!). Got the Buffalo fries, mild wings and chicken fingers, all were FIRE! So good! And I topped it off with their Ferrero Rocher smoothie! The owner was present and he explained all the ingredients are fresh and never frozen. Buffalo Spot is legit and coming back for mooaaaarr!! read more

Awesome casual buffalo wing spot! (especially in a college town). The workers are always super friendly, and the weekly deals are INSANE. Like impossibly hard to beat. Plus the food tastes great- try the lemon pepper fries, they're great! read more

Update. This is a long time coming. They resolved the issue. Food is always top tier. give it a try. There lunch combos are great.

My overall experience was horrible me and my boyfriend were craving some chicken our whole 4 day vacation we are leaving tomorrow so we stopped here tonight ,walking in the service was good no problem with it until the food came out the boneless wings were horrendous drowned in sauce and had no crisp same with the tenders just plain chicken drowned in store bought bbq sauce and the "delicious " buffalo fries were horrible too i hate to be so harsh but this was the worst way to end my vacation . Leaving this place made us feel sick to our stomach i will never recommend this place to anyone Do better! read more

I was pretty surprised to see the Buffalo Spot in Irvine! They are well known in the la area so it's exciting to see one in the OC! I ordered to go and it was delicious. If it's your first time it can be overwhelming with all the sauce options literally 14! I have been pretty basic and ordered original hot on my fries and mild on my Cali burrito. Both pretty solid! Of course this spot is known for the famous Buffalo fries ($7-$11 on size) which are so good and recommend ordering at least a small side to experience with your order! I love the Cali burrito here! The mix of the seasoned fries and chicken in the burrito are done well! However, this spot is more known for wings, tenders, etc. I just wish I had dressing with my order. I wasn't given the option to order but also forgot to think about it until I got home. Milkshakes are also a must order. Thick and creamy! Service on point, quick and attentive. Parking can get stiff since in a busy plaza but enough spots to not leave you battling. read more

i'm a regular customer here as it is very close to my school. i come often after class with my friends and we all enjoy the food and the service is just fine. however, today was a different story. i walk in and order at the self service machine and i notice it's glitching out and selecting things on its own. i think nothing of it and select what i want (small bbq buffalo fries with cajun seasoning and sauce on top). the machine was glitching and scrolling on its own and whatnot but i manage to get to the checkout and pay for my order. ~7 minutes later the man calls my name (somehow he read it backwards but that's not important). so i go up to get my food and i see it has my name but not what i ordered. it was lemon pepper with lightly drizzled sauce and cajun seasoning. at first i thought it was someone else with the same name as me but there was nobody else in the store. i tell the worker (julio? or julian f.) that this is not what i ordered. he says that it's what came from the machine and i tell him that the machine was being wonky and i assumed he would understand and remake my food. he did not. he says there is nothing wrong with the machine and that this is what i ordered, which he clearly saw me do because he was standing 3 feet away from me when i did. so i tell him no this is not what i ordered can you please remake it? and he says "well where am i supposed to put the food? i'm not gonna throw it out." first of all, it's not my problem to tell you what to do with it. at this point im like what does this guy think he's doing. so i tell him it doesn't cost you anything if you throw it out but if you really don't want to you can give it to someone. and he starts back up with saying im not going to waste the food and the machine is not wrong. im thinking well clearly someones wrong and it's not me because i know what i ordered and what i paid for. i don't know if he thought i was trying to scam them or something but it definitely seemed like he was just acting like this because he can. as a regular customer i always love the food and julio (or julian) is always nice to customers. today i was disappointed and angry, not at the fact i didn't get what i ordered but at the absolutely rude service i received. please improve i want to love the buffalo spot so much. read more

Came back for a lunch to try their buffalo fries! The location is convenient for students and there's plenty of parking. Lots of outdoor seating and a few indoor seating but can get a bit crowded in the evening. Ordering is easy and fast, sauces do cost extra. The fries were good, basic but still had their crisp. Packaging was sturdy so I didn't have to worry about flimsy paper boxes. The chicken wasn't to my liking though, it was just sour, salty and a bit dry. It just wasn't hitting the depth of buffalo flavor I wanted. This is filling enough for like 3/4 of a portion, however I would probably prefer the garlic parm over this :). Overall, I would come here for convenience and if I really wanted this kind of food. They're efficient and easy to go in and out! read more

Super cool spot , chicken was well cooked and fries crispy . Was able to watch college football while enjoying dinner . 10/10

Good food but they forgot my sauce, always ruins the meal to have to go back after a 20m drive cause they don't check.

Sooo good! My only complaint is that the fries were soggy. But I loved the meat and the sauce.

I pulled up for BONELESS Tuesday, where the wings are $6 for 10. I was pretty lost but the guy at the register was kind even though he was on his way out. I ended up getting 10 wings w mango habanero and garlic parmesan. I should have gotten 20 or ordered fries because that was not nearly enough calories (then again, only $6 so I should have known). Regardless, the chicken was good. They were cute little cubes with sauces that weren't overbearing at all. The garlic parmesan was nice, but the mango habanero could have been spicier. It was a little similar to orange chicken as another review has mentioned. It was a respectable meal with no significant commendations or complaints. If you can't decide whether to try this place or not, just come on a Tuesday! read more

The Buffalo Spot is a southern California chain restaurant, located across the street from UCI. They offer wings, buffalo fries, chicken tenders, salads and wraps. On Tuesdays they have a $.55 boneless wings special, which I have yet to try. I've had their buffalo fries and chicken tenders. Chicken Tenders ($9) - This came with 5 chicken tender pieces sauced in one's choice. I went with the BBQ sauce which was extremely mild. While the chicken pieces were plentiful, they were a little on the drier side. Buffalo Fries ($9 Regular / $10.50 Large) - A regular size order is good enough for a meal. This comes with diced hand breaded chicken breast, sauced one's way, then piled on top of a bed of fries. Finally this is all finished with a drizzle of their special sauce (similar to thousand island dressing). I went with the garlic Parmesan sauce and I could hardly taste any garlic. I would definitely recommend getting the buffalo fries over the tenders, as they were more tender and had the right amount of batter. The fries were crispy on the outside. Overall the food taste wise was just ok. It's not a very healthy option with so many fried chicken items on the menu. The chicken caesar salad is the only non fried option here. Pricing is fair read more

Fresh and delicious, I like this place. Reasonable pricing, and it's worse the price. read more

For a couple months, I came here every week for their Tuesday $0.55 boneless wings special. I've pretty much tried every flavor they had by now haha. The wings itself are amazing, especially for the price. I can't find another place with a better deal. The wings themselves are huge pieces, really juicy, and I love all of the different flavors of sauces they have. No comparison to the sad wings at BWW. Not only are they super overpriced, their specials/deals are pretty bad in comparison, and their flavor's aren't anything special. Here, you're getting great value and it definitely hits the spot if you're craving wings. I've also had the cajun fries because the cashier said he really recommended it. It's also conveniently located near campus, and I know a lot of my friends come here all the time. Overall, I recommend trying this place if you haven't already. I'll probably be coming back sometime very soon myself lol. read more

It's great to have something other than the 2 big wings guys. When I crave wings, this place is my go to! Unfortunately I do have to rate this place the way I did. The thing this place has going for it is "the Boss Fries" if you don't know, it's a large pizza sized box filled with fresh fries. You can chose up to 4 flavors! It's perfect for parties, or hanging out with friends. The the downfall to this place is straightforward. The physical location is a bit small. I don't really seem too many people there though unless it's right after school. Service... it's heartbreaking to see this place empty, walk in, and still wait 5-10 minutes before you're even acknowledge. No the hard part... the food! I love wings and love spice! When they are both combined properly it's magical! Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. I've been to this location a good 6 times or so before this review. The fries are always hot and delicious! The wings are always on point temperature wise! The bad part, most flavors are too vinegar-y. I should taste vinegar with my mango habanero wings. On that note, it's not spicy. This place has potential! A real 5 star potential in my eyes. It just falls a bit short. I'll update this with pictures once I remember to take them BEFORE I eat everything! Happy eating!! read more

Excellent service, super clean restaurant in one of Irvine's many nice shopping centers. The food is nothing special. Not bad, but considering it's their focal point, I feel the chicken could be better. I tried their claimed hot ticket item, the french fry chicken combination plate. I got the extra chicken, which allows for two flavors. Again, not bad, but not quality to get wild about. If I were to go again, I would try out their traditional style wings instead. Cant go wrong with all the flavor choices they offer though! read more

Ooo I found my go to spot to cure my cravings!! This world famous buffalo fries store "The Buffalo Spot" is so awesome. Got the "World Famous Buffalo Fries" with cajun sauce, special sauce, and lemon pepper flavor fries ($0.50 extra) size small. Even the size small was filling for me but my friend ordered large and he was trying to finish them all. Also ordered chicken tenders and it was really soft and tasty. Over all my experience in my mouth were in heaven. My friend also ordered oreo shake and says it's one of best shakes but little thick. Price: pretty fair, beer on tap Service: they are just doing their job Parking: plenty of parking read more

The Buffalo Spot is a great addition to the amount of food spots to eat at near UCI campus! The "World Famous Buffalo Fries" are delicious. You get breaded chicken bites that are tossed to a sauce of your choice, put on top of fries, and sprinkled with cheese. There are a lot of sauces to choose from so definitely coming back to try them. I have tried the Garlic Parmesan sauce and I have to say it's pretty good. Complaints: The chicken wasn't crispy by the time I got my order. The fries itself was soaked up in oil as well so maybe they need to "dry" the fries before serving. Also we ordered extra chicken but they only put like 5 pieces of chicken. Went to counter to talk to them about it and manager fixed the order. Great customer service! read more
