    Chicken Fingers - Garlic Parm
    Kimberley A.

    The Josh Allen cocktail 2/10 Had basically no flavor. It was kinda disgusting. a flavored seltzer water would be so much better. Artichoke dip 7/10 Large chunks of artichoke, just wish they were a little smaller. The cheesiness was good though. Garlic parm fingers 10/10 Cooked perfect, crispy. Flavor was fantastic. And also fantastic as leftovers, hot or cold. Steak Fries 1/10 Don't recommend. Pretty soggy and plain.

    4.5 for delicious Crown Royal BBQ wings, 3 for the pizza - tasty bit the wings knocked our socks off. This place is welcoming and very traditional Buffalo sports bar type vibe. It was loud but that's what we expected. Staff were nice, didn't see much but we did get everything we needed and were checked on. I will definitely come again there's lots of options on the menu I would like to try.

    We have been to Amherst Pizza & Ale many times. We have always been happy with our meals. Last night we ordered wings and we were extremely disappointed. While the flavor was good the wings were unbelievably tiny. Other diners agreed with us. For $17 we expect 10 good size wings or a few extra because of the small size. The service and ambience were fine. But we will not return for wings.

    I was only here once, over a decade ago after class got out while I was in college. The same table was in the same place where me and my fellow students and teacher all enjoyed pizza! Coming back again, I had another good experience. It was clean and cozy and service was excellent! Food came out so fast, and drinks stayed filled! My only disappointment was that it was a HUGE menu, but there were no real traditional entrees which I wanted that day. They have sandwiches, salads, wraps, pizza, chicken wingers, burgers, and finger foods galore. I ordered the California club and pub fries and I have 0 complaints with my food. The pub fries are the thinner, battered fries. They also have waffle fries and a variety of other types of loaded fries. There's something for everyone but again, no traditional entrees except maybe the Friday fish fry. It's pretty much all good you eat with your hands. No pasta, steak, chicken etc. (although you can have those meats on a sandwich).

    Margherita Pizza

    Ordered a Margherita Pizza to go (Medium 14"). They charged $26 plus tax. Was absolutely ridiculous and it was terrible. Do not bother ... maybe other pizza is better but $26 for what?

    There huge fish fry

    I've been going here for many years. I just went and got a fish fry and two shrimp dinners for the cost of it. The fish is north. The size of it used to be half the size shrimp dinners didn't even get cocktail sauce with them stay away from this place. If I give a lower rating than one I would.

    Great wing places, terrible wing places and places with interesting origin-stories always make for decent content in a wing review. Places located in a roadside plaza, that are neither wonderful nor terrible, pose a unique challenge in trying to capture the reader's interest with a compelling review. Yet, here we are at Amherst Ale House... let's all just get through this... Location: 3.5 / 5 Not the most relaxing atmosphere as we got seated at a table smack in the middle of a retirement party. Otherwise, there were games on the TVs and the wait staff was pleasant, so there. Presentation: 3 / 5 Wings. On plates. Okay. Ken's Bleu Cheese packets epitomized the experience. Meat: 3.5 / 5 The good ones were fine but overall this was a weak point. There were more boney shards than we care to deal with. Cook: 8 / 10 All hot and a pretty good crisp. The preparation of the char-pit grill was a nice differentiator -- nice to have *something* that stands out. Standard: 9 / 15 Way under-sauced - not enough to completely cover each wing - and way under-spiced. We generally don't need a lot of heat to give a good review but these were bland and boring. Specialty: 7.5 / 10 A better showing here but inconsistent overall. Char pit was universally loved, no wonder they brag about it all over the walls. Mango haberero were a bit slimy, not great. Nashville hot was actually a Carib jerk, not our favorite flavor. Finally hot garlic parm drew wildly mixed reviews. On the long ride home, at least one of the Wing Kings took a nap and who can blame him. A sleepy review for a sleepy experience. Overall 34.5 / 50

    Over priced for the service and food you get. Look elsewhere many better options for the price.

    Good wings but slow service. Need to improve accuracy for takeout orders (35 minutes easily…read morebecomes 1 hour)

    TLDR: Duff's was the perfect Buffalo road trip stop with excellent wings, great beef on weck, fast…read moreservice, and plenty of space for a large group. We were caravaning with a group of eight on a road trip to Toronto and decided a stop for some authentic Buffalo wings was mandatory before crossing the border. Duff's ended up being the perfect choice, especially with multiple cars since they have their own parking lot and were conveniently located not too far off our route. Inside there was plenty of seating for both small and large groups. We were able to push several tables together in the main dining room so all eight of us could sit together. Service was excellent. Since we were still on a schedule to get to Toronto, we appreciated how quickly the servers got everyone's orders in, and the food came out wicked fast. We went for the full Buffalo experience with several orders of wings in different flavors and heat levels, a few beef on wecks, and some Duff's beer. The wings definitely lived up to the hype. They were large, well sauced, and my medium had just the right amount of heat. Everyone who went hotter was equally impressed with the flavor. The beef on weck was another hit, packed with tender roast beef and plenty of flavor. Overall, a great experience and an easy recommendation if you're looking for classic Buffalo wings and beef on weck.
