    Service was fast and pleasant. It's loud inside and the game was on. We ordered appetizers from the happy hour menu and for $6 each. Drink specials were very cheap for drafts and wells. Crushes and margaritas a couple dollars more. Meals come with a side for the most part. They're known for their wings and can be wet or dry rubs. I didn't like the Mac and cheese and it was a premium side. It was sooooo greasy and somehow not covered in cheese at all. Amateur hour with that one. The wings were amazing so if I come back it will be for that and just stick to the standard fries. Extra ranch and carrots and celery aren't included.

    Another year, another great review for The Dirty Buffalo! It still remains a favorite for our family. DBuff is always on the list of places my kids request when they are home from college. Service on this occasion was great, wings were fantastic, and the atmosphere was enjoyable.

    I've heard such amazing things about the Dirty Buffalo, but I've never been in the 8 years I've been in the Tidewater area during and after my time at ODU. I do not recommend getting the macaroni, it was flavorless. The bone in all flat wings I got were cooked amazingly, but I don't think my server got my Cajun buffalo sauce right. It wasn't Cajun or buffalo..it was very sweet so I did not like them. I took them home with me and tried to dress it up some, but sweet is just not for me. Besides this, the food & the service were great! I look forward to my next opportunity to go here and try some other sauces!! Also, we went after the homecoming game & though it was a little busy, the service was still fast!

    I was looking for a hot wings place since my favorite spot, Hot Wings Inc, in Portsmouth retired. I could not be happier with trying The Dirty Buffalo. I tried 3 sauces and 1 dry rub. The sauces I ordered are the following: Ruffalo: tasty dry rub {this is keto} Extra Hot: tasty sauce (heat level: 3-4/10) {this is keto} Stupid Dumb: one of my favorites (heat level 5-6/10) {this is keto} Dumb Dumb: my favorite thus far being that I'm a hot/spicy seeker (heat level 7-9/10) {this is keto} The food was hot and fresh even though I live 20-25 minutes away, I opened the takeout container and it was still steaming. I will be a constant and consistent regular for The Dirty Buffalo. Message for Dirty Buffalo! I'm a videographer first and photographer second. I'd love to work with you guys to do videos or skits and even take photos for you guys if needed or wanted. Ig: @insightfoolmedia

    Good watering hole. And I think they have good wings based on the ones I saw eating them. I just stopped by for a beer and some football and Cruella Deville served me. Nice and cool costume and good service. Ambiance is a sports bar with decent bar food.

    Solid wing spot right by ODU. Not the greatest wings you'll ever have, but good wings. Would definitely recommend to stop by, especially ok trivia night when you can wing some gift cards. The Mac n cheese bowls with wings is excellent, definitely go in on that. Fur wing sauces, probably my favorites were the hot honey/old bay, which always hits, and the buffalo, which is a buffalo and jerk style wing.

    Buffalo Caesar salad was what it was suppose to be. No Buffalo and no Caesar so not worth $15. Requested refund. Let's see how this goes.

    Inaccuracy of order. Buffalo chicken Caesar salad ordered but no dressing at all what soever and no buffalo. Very disappointed and refund requested. Do better if you want repeat business please.

    Ask the Community - The Dirty Buffalo

    Anyone know of any keto-worthy options?

    They don't specifically say anything about Keto on their menu. https://thedirtybuffalo.com/menu… 

    Is this a Buffalo Bills bar?

    No. It is a sports bar that serves many types of Buffalo wings.

    Didn't see any beer price on your menu?

    They do not put their drink prices on their menus. One reason I didnt give them a perfect rating. When I asked our waitress last time about a drink price, I got "I think it's $xx..." I wish they didn't hide them!

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

    What a surprise!…read more We had a quick bite here before going to the Chartway Arena for a show and my husband wanted something for lunch. It was packed, probably with people doing what we were doing, but there were several seats at the bar so we snagged three and were greeted pretty quickly by a very friendly waitress. She made recommendations at my husband's request and suggested the special which was two hotdogs with topping of your choice, half order of fries or tots and a drink. He went with that and we ordered a single cheeseburger for our toddler. Food was out quickly - probably less than 10 minutes and the burgers and fries were piping hot and very good. My husband was pleased. Their menu is much larger than I expected with tons of burgers, sandwiches, some salads and other things. Our waitress and a few others checked on us while we ate to ensure we didn't need anything. Very good service. I think we will definitely come back.

    On the way home from Norfolk today, driving along the Princess Anne Road route, my vehicle made a…read morequick U Turn when we remembered that Lew's Hot Dogs was closing permanently on October 31st. It's one of the few old school Hot Dog Shops that still feature the iconic Norfolk Dog. The spot closes at 3pm each day. There was plenty of time to stop. The location is on Azalea Garden Road about 2 blocks north of Princess Anne Road. Don't expect a picturesque spot. This building is located in the midst of warehouses, car repair shops & such. Lew's was obviously packed with people wanting those few last days of the wonderful Norfolk Dogs. Parking was around the front & side of the shop & on the street. Even the "no parking" area was filled. We stepped directly into an earlier time. And I loved it. Seating was mainly around the counter. I would have loved to have eaten there. But we had just had donuts in Ghent. So we ordered at the cramped takeout counter, The cook, who I suspect was the owner's wife, cooked on a small grill near the front window. A young man took the orders, writing each takeout order on a paper bag for the cook. The proprietor busily did everything. He was personable & funny. He had his rules, just like his long gone competitors, We sat at the counter and talked to a customer who had driven down from Arlington. He obviously knew the place well as the owner bantered with him. When our order was ready we left, a little sad that we couldn't stay and eat. It had been so much fun. The Norfolk Dogs were wonderful. They're snap dogs, customarily served only with mustard, chili & onions. Lew's did allow other condiments added, even serving French fries. You could get thrown out of some of his former competitors for asking for catsup or potato chips. There must be a return before they close. I want to sit and eat at the counter. I want to come out with that familiar smell of onions in my hair. By the way, they're still open to selling the shop. It comes with the secret recipe for their chili sauce. Norfolk Dog lovers need this eatery to remain open. Don't let them be lost to time.

    Another piece of Norfolks history is set to close at the end of October. Lew's Hot Dogs has been…read morearound as long as I can remember and its closing makes me feel like I'm losing an old Friend. On the way home from the Yelp Event at O's Donuts, I remembered Lew's was closing this weekend. Luckily Lew's was right on our way home so we decided to stop and get orders to go. We walked in to a packed house and lots of others placing orders to go. Cash only signs were posted in several places so I was prepared when it was my turn to order and pay. Everyone was friendly and greeted each other and engaged in conversation. I felt like I had stepped back in time to a kinder, gentler place. I'm very sad that we are losing another piece of Norfolk history. The hotdogs were just as good as I remembered, as well as their French fries. One thing that caught my attention as we waited was the stools at the counter. This old Norfolk girl immediately said to my Friend, "these aren't stools, they are chairs with backs on them just like the lunch counters in Peoples Drug Store and Woolworth's when I was a kid." Loved this little walk down memory lane today. Happy retirement Lew, You will be missed.

We also got fried pickles delicious. The atmosphere was like an older type of vibe, it was a little hot, but we were okay under the fan. You can definitely tell that there are a lot of regulars that come through here. The bathrooms are clean, and the food came out in a pretty good timely manner.

Prices were reasonable, food was good, and staff were mostly nice. Felt like I fit in as a regular right away. I liked the old box TV's in the corner and the sound of the grill. I'm not even one for hotdogs, not a fan to be honest. However, I decided to try the namesake and was surprised by how good it was. I was even convinced to get another one on my first visit. I tried multiple things each week, and was pleased with all of it. Then one day, I was surprised in another way. They had hidden a loose body part under my burger. It was so disappointing. I walked out and once I was behind the building, I gave it the old "Ehh!" gesture by brushing my hand in the direction of the place. That signaled the end of my quarter-year patronage. A few months later, I was at a different eating establishment on the other side of town. And one of the employees from Lulu's walked in and said: "So you're not getting hotdogs tonight, huh?" I was dumbfounded. I couldn't believe it. First off, they were closed at the time, and secondly, I don't appreciate scraggly surprises in my food. (Now to be fair, the place I was in that night ALSO gave me a fuzzy memory to last a lifetime, but that's beside the point.) So if you decide to go here, make it a regular haunt, then suddenly stop going for three months, they'll stalk you and mock your new culinary preferences. Or maybe it was just me they did that to. Regardless, I haven't been back and it's been over ten years. Needless to say, I'm not going to be pressing my tuxedo or sewing any buttons on my vest anytime soon, as I'm not worried about looking my best, because I don't care that Lulu's back in town. I'm not returning.
