    Manager in the kitchen on her phone
    Autumn B.

    03/01/2025 It's cute how you're trying to blame DoorDash's algorithm and the system for your delay, but let's address a few things here. First off, *six minutes* was the time I was told by one of your workers when I asked for an estimate, so you can save the whole "system" excuse. When I walked in, there were already *three customers* sitting in the lobby, eating--so it's not like you're running some kitchen operation so complex that a 20-minute wait should be the standard for every order. Second, while I get that food is made to order, it should NEVER take more than 20 minutes for something that was already supposed to be ready in *6 minutes*. So, don't try to pull the "our menu items take 20 minutes" card when your timing was way off. It's not the system, it's the procrastination on your end. And you know what? It's not like I was being rude about it--I use to work in the food industry, I get it. I tried to explain that, but your response? "I didn't ask about your life story." Charming. Then you hit me with "You're wasting your time"--real professional. Maybe I wouldn't have felt like I was wasting my time if I didn't have to sit around for 20 minutes because of YOUR procrastination, not to mention the completely unnecessary attitude from your end. As for the picture of you being on your phone, maybe you should've been handling the orders rather than looking for ways to handle a "rude" DoorDash driver--who was just waiting for an order that was supposed to be ready *20 minutes* ago. Maybe your focus should be on getting things right on your end instead of pointing fingers. Hope that clears things up. 02/21/25 I was picking up a DoorDash order and had waited 20 minutes for the order to be ready. The manager argued with me and told me that I was wasting my time on waiting for the order when I could've canceled it. Then she tries to tell me that the order requires an extra 15 to 20 minutes after the pickup time which was 11:01am. She tried to tell me that the DoorDash app was wrong and argued with me instead of just bagging up the order and giving it to me. It was sitting right behind her the entire time. Then she goes back on her phone in the kitchen after raising her voice at me. The manager left the poor girl in the front to take a group of 10. And didn't even bag the order! Just went to the kitchen and left it the girl in the red. Retraining or new management needs to be done at this location.

    Buffalo very hot fries
    Roxana S.

    Basic simple fries with boneless wings on top. Food was good and fresh. Service was ok, there was maybe total 4 staff working. The ambiance was ok chill music, volume a little to high as I did felt I had to speak up when ordering. Over all experience was good. Would I come again? Maybe not like I mentioned food is good but it's basic simple my kids would like it.

    Very disappointing. Drove 25 minutes to try. I got 15 wings. Half lemon pepper and half the other dry rub you offer. It felt like the rub were just sprinkled on my wings after you placed them in the to-go container. Most of the wings were naked. Some had rub on one side of the wing. Shame because the few bites I got with the rub were actually really good. Make it right, guys. PS, staff were very friendly and the restaurant very clean.

    Jamaican Jerk wings.

    While driving by MCC, we had seen an ad advertising that the best buffalo fries was here at The Buffalo Spot. So of course we were curious an had to stop by. Buffalo fries, chicken wings, and the Buffalo Cali Burrito were ordered. The Buffalo Fries were good but I'd pass on the wings if we order here again. The Buffalo Cali Burrito is pretty much an order of Buffalo fries inside a tortilla. It's a really good concept for those on the go. The Buffalo Spot is a decent choice for when you want some fries and buffalo chicken bites. Solid 3-stars!

    Q: What day do chickens hate the most? A: Fry-day! So is this place the best wing spot? No. Can you gets some cluck-and-spuds? Yes! And you know what, sometimes that's all it takes to make your day. I tried 15 traditional bone-in wings (half Pineapple Jalapeño and half Jamaican Jerk), an order of Buffalo Fries, and a Buffalo Cali Burrito. The Pineapple Jalapeño was very very very mild in flavor. The heat factor being almost non-existent. Have you ever been electrocuted by a phone charger? It has less tingle than that. The Jamaican Jerk wings was an explosion of flavor though. As for the Buffalo Cali Burrito, it's pretty much just Buffalo Fries nestled neatly inside a tortilla. The fries and the burrito were pretty good and I enjoyed them both. The Buffalo Spot opened back in 2013 in Long Beach, CA and has since opened up more locations in California, Nevada, Texas, and here in sunny-and-lovely Arizona. Come for the Buffalo Fries! Solid 3.5 stars.

    Both mild wings that were given.

    Me and my roommate came for lunch today ordered atomic and Honey BBQ we got home and we're given the Atomic and Mild not a big deal I called and told them what was wrong, whoever I was on the phone with sounded she didn't care at all. I was told that they would be remade and so I went to pick them up got there was told they still had 5-10 min and was handed mild again tried to bring this up to the girl at the register and she continued to ignore me and be on her phone I ended up leaving so disappointed I have been to other locations and have had no issues and the food is great. I have been in the food industry for the last 6+ years with management experience and never have i had something like this happen. Will not be coming back to this location. Retraining is definitely needed.

    I had a lab appointment next door to this place so my boyfriend stopped in and ordered us some boneless what looked like round chicken balls lol. He ordered the medium for himself and mango habanero for me since I love extra spicy food. The chicken is pretty good at a good price on a Tuesday there's a few different flavors to try. The manager at this location is friendly and if you're from Long Beach California like myself this place originated out of So Call so they have my support 100% get out and try this place at least once you're either going to like it or not.

    Slimy soggy wings
    Charles R.

    Soggy Wings n Fries. Yummmmmmm So I've tried 3 times. Great consort yet poor poor delivery. Last time I ordered take out and the fries and chicken were soggy and cold. I called to alert the manager and I was told to order sauce on the side next time. So next time is here........... I ordered 4 orders $50 sauce on the side with an order of traditional wings. I was told wings take 20 min to cook. Ok But took 30 minutes and wings weren't even crispy. See pic. Cold and slimy. When order came up 30 min later all buffalo fries had sauce on them. When I brought it to the managers attention I was told that sauce on the side does not mean sauce on the side LOL Long story short after spending over $50 I got home too cold soggy french fries and cold slimy wings. When you do only one thing you should do it good. If you follow me you know that I am not about bad reviews but truth needs to be told.

    The bottom inch was all sauce.

    Generally when I go to this buffalo spot location it is FANTASTIC, but, recently it could go either way. I came in today and the employees weren't really paying attention and when I got my buffalo fries they were absolutely drenched in sauce. Every fry was inedible and soggy before I could even take one bite and the chicken was too drenched as well. When I say drenched I mean volume wise there was probably more sauce than fries. I will say it was not very appetizing.

    it could happen
    Peachy Tea C.

    Solid food. The buffalo fries always hit the spot on a Friday night. I love that you can order your own food from the Kiosk now, and the employees are very personable. Good food & quick service!

    Cajun wings supper good. The other half jalapeno pineapple wasint a fan of that one.

    Delicious Mac & Cheese Meets Garden-Fresh Salads…read more I didn't expect a mac and cheese spot to also win me over with their salad, but this place nailed both. What makes it stand out: * Truly made to order: You watch them start your bowl from scratch. My BBQ Steak & Bacon Mac hit the table so delicious, with that perfect stretch you only get when the sauce is built right then. * Fresh ingredients, no shortcuts: The kitchen is serious about produce. The Roasted Vegetables & Fruit in my salad were crisp and peppered with fresh strawberries. * Customization without the chaos: You pick your pasta, cheeses, and mix-ins, and they build it while you watch. * Salads that aren't just a side hustle: My wife ordered the savannah salad with fresh avocado that was amazing with the Honey Mustard Dressing. This could be a main stop just for salads Vibe & Service Counter service, but the staff calls out your name like they actually cooked for you. Because they did. And I was eating top quality food in minutes. Dessert Don't sleep on the dessert either. The Chocolate Fudge Cake and Tiramisu was amazing. Bottom line If you want mac and cheese that tastes like someone's grandma made it five minutes ago, and a salad that is fresh then this is your place to fill your tummy. Fresh ingredients and made-to-order isn't a tagline here. It's the whole operation.

One of my favorites that they offer is the Manhattan Club. I have also had the turkey bacon avocado sandwich. Everything tastes fresh and is loaded with flavor. They also have great salads and side dishes. Their potato and macaroni salads are among my favorite side dishes. They also have a nice selection of drinks. Some of my favorite beverages are their lemonades, smoothies, and coffee. The service is friendly. Every time I have walked into the building, someone at the counter has always greeted me with a warm smile and asked me how my day was going before I placed my order. I also like the atmosphere. A nice place to relax and enjoy your meal. Their portion sizes are also big for the price.

It is perfection... the bacon is crispy and appropriately salty; the chicken, lettuce, tomato and ranch all complement each other nicely. The kicker is the chipotle sauce they apply. It's almost like a hot honey or something. It adds the perfect balance of sweet to the savory saltiness. Plus, I love how they grill the bread lightly. It adds the slightest little toasty note and crunch. I'll be back to try the Italian Wedding soup if it is the featured soup of the day. It was highly recommended by a neighborhood regular who eats there essentially every week. This sandwich experience restored my faith after I had a sandwich half as good for twice the price the week before at a competitor which, for now, shall remain nameless. Thank you Z Cafe for taking me to sandwich nirvana!

    NOT WHAT YOU THINK…read more The Spitz moniker is derived from the rotating BBQ spit, middle-eastern style rotisserie used to slow cook their meats. The name of this restaurant isn't very becoming. But you will be coming regularly once you try this place. Mediterranean food has worked it's way as a staple across the country because of the use of numerous spices, it has an undeniable bold flavor that has become a favorite of the American diet. Here is no exception and lives up to the Mediterranean flavor profile expectations with an Americanized twist on the ingredients. I ordered on the app and found it quite user friendly, which encourages me to get food here more often with the ease of use and simple interface. You have to ability to add or omit ingredients from the menu items which makes for a very satisfying customized meal (and only have yourself to blame if it is a displeasing combination) BERLINER WRAP- meat and veg all in a flatbread wrap. There's a lot of ingredients packed in this thang, so for me, I had to use extra sauce to dip and coat it all in flavor. The problem with these wraps though, is that the paper it wrapped in was getting stuck to the bread and would have to constantly peel it off that thang and it was a mess, unless you just don't mind eating the paper for some extra fiber. MEDI BOWL- The bowl was felt healthy and hearty; an all-around good dish. The crunchy garbanzo beans were a nice element to contrast against the other textures in the bowl. Again, i liked it with more sauce, but that's just me. Everything tasted fresh and delicious and I want to try the other menu items in the future.
