    Garlic Parm Chicken Wings
    Kimberley A.

    Mozzarella sticks 10/10 Battered not breaded. Cooked perfectly. Cheese was melted and stringy. And we're edible right away, not too hot! Chicken Wings 8/10 The wings took close to an hour to get, which is a little crazy to me. Typically wings only take 30 minutes or less to cook. We were getting very antsy and thought they actually forgot to put the order in. Garlic parm: Perfectly crispy. Messy sauce, pretty good garlic flavor too. Lemon pepper dry rub: the rub didn't really stick to the wings very well, it was mostly all over the plate, which kinda stinks. The flavor was not bad though when you did get some. One of the bartenders recommended trying honey on a wing, because of a strange pregnancy craving she had, and I have to say it was not terrible! I tried it on the lemon pepper wing since they were lacking seasoning. I would actually order a honey flavored wing.. (here's an idea: maybe like brown sugar honey and they're char grilled!)

    The Heart and Soul of Wagon Wheel with The Thirsty Three!

    The best bartenders, wings and people! What a great find for us. We were in town to attend the Bills game, stopped by with little expectation. We made new friends, were made to feel welcome, were given the quickest service and were pleasantly surprised by great live music. We loved the place so much we went back again after the game on Sunday just to get some more wings and spend more time with the great crowd at Wagon Wheel. We have a new place to visit every time we are in town for a Bills game Kathy was by far our favorite and I'm sure she makes one and all feel welcome. Thanks for the great weekend.... The Thirsty Three!

    We entered this place at nine o'clock on a Thursday night, the bar is right in front of you with a few chairs and dartboard. Walk up the few stairs and there is a pool table and more tables in the back. There was a guy playing guitar on stage and he was pretty good, although it was far too loud. We ordered a couple of beers on tap, the only light beer is Coors Light. We received a couple of menus and ordered twenty crispy wings, half hot, half mild. We also ordered frings. We had to wait over thirty minutes for the food to arrive. The onion rings were overlooked and too hard, the fries were steak cut and didn't taste that great either. The wings were really good with the perfect amount of crispness and were a good size. I think I'll try to come in here a bit earlier next time to avoid the super loud music. The wings are the clear winner.

    Dive bar. Jukebox. $0.50 pool table. I wouldn't buy my wings from anywhere else in Niagara Falls.

    Great traditional cornerstone of the Niagara Falls community. Personable staff, and one of the region's best for billiards.

Service from the bartender was great. He offered up some suggestions, which I needed because they have a large menu loaded with so many appetizing and amazing looking options. I started with their potstickers... They came out with a hard, fried shell and the dipping sauce went nicely with them. Enough to share, or even enough to enjoy and still have room for an entrée. My main dish was their Chicken & Waffle. This isn't some ordinary chicken and waffle, it's definitely an amped up version, made with unique and interesting ingredients, culminating in great flavors! The chicken was so large and very tender - it was amazing! The bacon and sauce on top went with it nicely, and the chive waffle was great with it! Each bite was definitely amazing! This was a great experience, I can see why they have so many reviews and such high stars, those are well-deserved stars!! Definitely recommend stopping in here!

I've eaten at this location twice and had good experiences both times. One time I had a slight wait (under ten minutes) another time they were able to seat us right away. The dining area was clean and had a variety of seating options. The menu is pretty straight forward. Wings (standard wings along with boneless), some appetizers and a variety of drink options. The wings are the typical tasty and decently sized wings served at the other Duffs locations. They offer a variety of sauces and serve the wings with celery and blue cheese.

We ordered two flavors of non-Buffalo boneless: hot honey and dr pepper char-bq, and a side of onion rings. I had soda, hubs had a cocktail of which I tried a sip. My favorite part of dinner was the cocktail; if I hadn't been designated driver I would have enjoyed having this. I can't remember which one it was, but it was my kind of cocktail; very fruity, somewhat sweet. Not fancy-schmancy but tasting very good. The onion rings were the breaded kind rather than the crispy bread crumb kind, they were fine but not standout. The wings... eh. I am a big fan of Plucker's Dr. Pepper BBQ wings but I didn't love these. The char taste was actually overpowering and I expected a bit more sweet to the sauce than it had. The hot honey was also charry and not super sweet. It was all fine, but not something I would crave. The place has a cute casual ambience and our food came out fast, there wasn't a crowd though on the weeknight we were there. I'd come either to drink or because friends really wanted to but otherwise I probably wouldn't request it. But, like I said, I'm not a tabasco fan so I couldn't partake in what they are known for and what they (probably) do best, so I don't say this to discourage others - mainly just so I remember my own opinions.

You made the visit. Now, when you market yourself as the Original Buffalo Wing, that carries real weight. There's history there. There's pride there. And honestly, there's an expectation that comes with it. If you're going to carry that banner, you have to be better than Buffalo Wild Wings. That's just the reality. The identity of the place is built on being the original. The wings were good. Solid flavor, classic presentation, cold beer, sports on the TVs -- it checks the boxes for a fun wing spot. But were they clearly a step above other national wing chains? Probably not. And that's where the expectation gap shows up. That said, it's still a good place to grab wings and a beer. Bring your buddies, bring your family, bring your girlfriend -- catch a game and hang out. It's casual and comfortable. If you're in Niagara Falls and want to experience the history behind the name, it's worth a stop. Just go in expecting a solid wing-and-beer experience rather than something that completely resets the standard.

The GPS took us to the first location that opened (the waitress said the 1960s) a long time ago. The building is sitting at an angle from the road so go to the right and turn in to park or go past and turn right for the parking lot. Middle of the afternoon on a Thursday they weren't too busy. We were seated immediately and waited on quick. I wanted some clarity with the wing heat. Some places hot is mild or hot is burn your face off. She clarified the medium hot is hot so that's what I decided on for an order of 6. My sister isn't so much of a wing person so she decided on a grilled cheese. The waitress was pleasant and answered all the questions we had. The restaurant itself isn't too big but can seat a lot of people. Total wing vibe. Lots of different flavors and quantities went by...everything looked tasty and fresh. They had Yuengling on tap so that's what I ordered. She had a pepsi. Food arrived fast. The aroma was to die for (ok it burns the eyes a little...). Came with celery and blue cheese. The wings were amazing, some of the best I have ever eaten. Crunchy celery and cool dipping sauce. Bigger than most that I have ordered and very freshly prepared. After 6 I was filled up...but I ordered another brew just to wash it all down. If you're in Buffalo (or the area) it's definitely worth stopping to have a treat. Other Buffalo favorites are on the menu as well (Beef on Weck sandwich. We will definitely be back, more flavors to try and locations to enjoy.

Tables were too close, people are way too loud. I can't eat in loud surroundings. I don't like that, and it was so hot in there that it made me very uncomfortable. I believe all restaurants and bars, etc. should be air-conditioned and make people comfortable. If they're too cold, they can always put on a jacket but when you're too hot, I can't take much off. I ordered the roast beef on Weck and fries instead of potato chips. I was very satisfied it was delicious. Very expensive, I found everything was very expensive on the menu, but if you want good food, I guess that's what you gotta do is pay more. Jim ordered mild wings, they still looked good even though I'm a hot wing person. I was looking at everybody else's huge plates of wings that were coming out and they looked so amazing. I'm definitely gonna get some to take home some time. Anyway, the wings looked good smelled good, Jim said they were very good, my sandwich was good. The fries were good, the waitresses were nice so the service was pretty good. But again too small, too loud, too hot, and those things just don't make me happy. I probably would go in there again and eat if somebody else wanted to, but I'd rather take my food to go next time. One other issue I had is definitely the restroom. That had to be the smallest stall I have ever been in. Anytime I moved I banged into one of the walls. They have two stalls in there, which to me is definitely not enough when you're serving "spicy hot " food. At one point there was five people in the restroom. Luckily, I just had to wash my hands in that visit. But the restroom is way too small and when I talk to Jim about the ladies room, he said the men's room is super small too, so they're probably about the same size. So that was definitely a negative thing for me was the restroom.

Pretty easy to find, you can't miss the rustic looking exterior with the blind pig in huge letters on top. There's a decent amount of parking, but I'll bet when this place gets busy it's tougher to find a spot. When you walk inside, the interior is very well kept and has a rustic bar-like feel to it, plenty of bar and high top seating as well as booths. I decided to order an iced tea. Something I've noticed about Canada, iced tea is usually a sweetened drink. Not like iced tea you get in the states. So just be aware of that if you're looking to get some iced tea. Regardless, it was very tasty and hit the spot perfectly. One thing I like about this place is they have a bunch of different specials throughout the week, the day I went the special was the brisket sandwich and side salad for $13.99 Canadian. I upgraded to the Caesar salad, and also ordered a side of KFC, or Korean fried Chicken for those of you in the know. Let me tell you something about that. KFC, absolutely delicious! How can you go wrong with fried chicken thighs with Korean BBQ sauce? You can't, that's what I'm telling you! The brisket sandwich was really really good, albeit just a tad dry. But I'm not deducting any points for that. It was absolutely delicious and worth every penny. Service was great, friendly staff, and everything came out as expected. Bottom line? I will definitely be back for that brisket sandwich. They also had some other specials so I guess I'm going to need to spend an entire week here and just eat my life away at the blind pig.
