Wings and food are great Atmosphere is great. All football fans need to go there this is where Kelly, Thurman, and all the Bills hang out. read more

Call it nostalgia but nothing is more Buffalo than having wings near Ralph Wilson Stadium. This was stop #3 on our wing tour and was the winner for most in our group. Grab a Labatt on draft, order 20 wings and call it a day! My favorite part was talking to the manager about all the past and present Bills players that stop by and seeing all the pictures hanging on the walls read more

So, I'm kind of sad because I've drank here and had a great time but have never ordered food. We ordered 10 creole honey wings and a beef on weck with tots. I think these are pretty standard buffalo foods, but damn I am so disappointed. The wings were so tiny, and I got that weird extra wing that comes in the pack that you should throw in as a freebie. The flavor was good. The beef on weck was decent but NOT served with horseradish. Um, what? The tots were standard. I've been watching my diet lately and trying not to eat garbage, but this was my first cheat-ish day in 2 months. I'm just so sad I spent money and calories on something that wasn't great. Damn Bg Tree....I had high hopes from all your prior reviews! read more

The Wing Bros got it right! Some of the most solid wings I've ever had in my life. Actually I'm quite certain that I've never had a better wing. High praise. Phenomenal local's spot btw. Regs are friendly. Cooks are friendly. Angela (bartender) is the best! Can't go wrong here. Love all the Bills memorabilia. Makes it feel like your pappy's basement. Now that's good ambiance.

If I could write negative stars I would. My 14 year old son and I drove here from Philadelphia for the Bills/Eagles game. After driving 7 hours, we wanted to stop here before the game to eat. The bouncers at the door would not let us in because my son was under age (I assume, they never actually told me why we couldn't come in) But there were 4 other kids sitting eating lunch with their families. They saw I was visibly upset and the guy grabbed me by my arm and escorted me out. I have never been treated so disrespectfully. read more

We stuck around the stadium for the next stop on our Wing tour and paid a visit to the famous Big Tree Inn on the corner of Jim Kelly Blvd and Big Tree Rd in Orchard Park. I once heard Jim Kelly in a TV interview say that Big Tree had the best wings in the area. I thought, 'Are you sure it doesn't have anything to do with the hand carved wooden sculpture of you and all your buddies out front?' While we can't say whether Jim was swayed by the wooden homage to him on the street named after him, it turns out Jim was spot on regardless. And with all the business this review is sure to provide them, Big Tree may want to consider wooden sculptures of the members of the Wing Kings. Sauce: 5 / 5 The standard wing was absolutely flawless. Dictionary definition of a medium Buffalo chicken wing and everything our forefathers had in mind when they slaughtered the first Buffalo and harvested its wings. The BBQ flavored options provided a perfect balance to the standard wing - sweet and spicy in perfect harmony. Good lord, these were tasty. Meat: 5 / 5 Perfect sizing and consistency. Very meaty and perfectly shaped. If someone wanted to draw a picture of a chicken wing, this would be their nude model. Cook: 4.5 / 5 Very juicy with absolutely no dryness. Arrived at our table piping hot and stayed that way until the 50th wing. I'm not sure why we didn't give 5 / 5 other than we must've been wary of awarding a perfect score to a place we frankly weren't expecting to get it. A HUGE day for the Big Tree - 14.5 / 15 - the HIGHEST YET! read more

We went for lunch on a Saturday around 1:30 pm. The tables were mostly empty, and it took half an hour to deliver our food. I paid $18 for a fried bologna sandwich that was smaller than the palm of my hand and about 20 small French fries. The peppers on the sandwich were not completely cooked, and the draft beer tasted as though it had been watered down. The wait staff was good, and the ambiance was great if you're a Bills fan, which I am. Nevertheless, I wouldn't go back, and I would recommend that this place be avoided. read more

We stopped for a fairly quick lunch before going to a Dr, appointment in Orchard Park. I had a nice salad. My husband started with wings which he said were very good. He also had a burger and fries which he said were good. He had always wanted to stop there. read more

Walkable distance from Highmark Stadium and a great place to pregame. Crowded on game day but not oppressively so. I write this review to highlight one thing: the chicken wings. AMAZING. They come in sizes 10, 20 or 50 divided by drums and flats. Just so good. Would put them up against wings from anywhere. Staff also friendly polite and patient in dealing with some of the more rowdy patrons. read more

As a Buffalo native and a Bills fan I've always heard that the Big Tree Inn was a good place to go so we stopped in on a Saturday night. I don't like to be this guy because I saw the menu before I ordered and knew what the prices were so that's on me but I got a chicken finger sub that was $23.99 and I had them bbq which was and extra $1.95 for a premium sauce. My almost $26 sub was fine but I just can't get out of my head that I paid $26 for a B to B+ sub. The service was fine. The ambiance was good but it just seemed so expensive. Everything was expensive. Would I eat the food again, absolutely but I would never go back solely based on the prices. read more

As an out of towner on his first trip to Buffalo, this is exactly what you want. Depending on where you come from you drive by the stadium and site of the new stadium. I went on a week where the Bills were not in town I can't imagine this place on game day. Saw a father bring us son in and explain how his grandfather sat at a certain barstool and then walked him through the pictures on the wall with stories. It was beautiful. I didn't eat but my buddy did and said the wings were fantastic. Will go back if I am ever there again read more

Walked in Sunday night after a home game. Still people partying since the game, we got a cheer when we walked in with our jerseys on. We ordered a big ditch and it came in what looked like a 10-12 Oz plastic bills cup and it was $20. We wanted to order wings somewhere around 8:48 and he told us the kitchen closed five minutes ago. So it closed at 8:43??? Twenty for a beer in a kids cup...we'll probably not be back. Maybe to try wings and see if the beer is really 10 each. I think I was hornswoggled. read more

Big Tree Inn - a beef sandwich and tater tots - Sports Bars Near Me - Orchard Park, New York

Definitely NOT impressed with the owner or the female bartender; they had a couple of opportunities to SHOW who they really were and what they showed was some truly nasty personality traits. There are far too many other restaurants/sports bars to spend your money at, and they APPRECIATE your business and want to keep you as a customer. I suspect this place has their regular clientele and that's "good enough" for them. Well, we ALL KNOW what happens to businesses that cater to existing customers and are willing to brush off new or potentially new customers, eventually their "regulars" move on and with little to no new customers filling those chairs... the landscape of the country is littered with shuttered businesses that think this way, not a single one has escaped the consequences... EVER. To the owner.... DO BETTER‼ BE BETTER‼ That was embarrassing to witness how you treated that woman, little man needing to call the police for a tiny woman! That's a very weak man with very little character. read more

Last minute decision to stop for a bite to eat. Service was excellent. Our waiter Connor was not only our waiter but doing the cooking as well. There was very little wait and he was attentive. The music and drinks were awesome. The Bills memorabilia was so cool to see. We ordered a ton of food and all of it was delish. Definitely visiting again. read more

Big Tree Inn is a place that I've always wanted to visit due to its place in Buffalo history as a watering hole for Bills legends past. While in orchard park recently, I finally had the chance to make this happen. What I can say about Big Tree now that I have visited is that they don't appear to have changed much since those early 90's Superbowl runs. Much of the bar decor (especially the bathroom) seems liked it was probably present in those days. We came in around lunch time and sat at the bar with a group of what I assume are the regulars. We had a double order of wings (hot) and although they looked great when they came out, they ended up being closer to a mild/medium situation. The bartender was nice and it made for an overall pleasant trip however my criticism of the place would be that the photos on the wall weren't the only thing in the bar that links you back to its 1980/1990 hayday. read more

Personally, I feel this place rides off the coattails of being near the stadium and early 90s nostalgia. The location wasn't super busy yet the service was horrendously slow. Appetizers of mozzarella sticks, and fried ravioli were fairly decent. The beef on weck was a -1 or 2 stars. Thickly cut roast beef that was very chewy and overdone. It honestly may have been the worst one I've ever had. The wings were great. If you come here and stick only with the wings, I think you'll be in pretty good shape. We also ordered a cheeseburger that was excellent but then strangely again the fries some of the worst bar fries I've ever had. The place is just overall a very mixed bag and when you throw in the really slow service, it was not somewhere I would return to. read more

Best wings I've had in Buffalo area! Super convenient stop if you are in for a home game at Highmark Stadium. It is right around the corner, and is also not too crowded on a Saturday night. We came with 6 people at 8pm and could grab a table no problem. 10/10 recommend, would come back! read more

Was at the Big Tree Inn on April 2nd for medium wings, beef on wick, 2 BLT's and a hamburger for an 8 year old boy from the UK and all was delicious and great. Special thanks to the lady in the kitchen ( may of been the owner ) who was very helpful along with James who came in later on and delivered our food. Just a great experience for a simple late lunch/ early dinner . Restrooms were very clean and the Inn over all was clean and orderly and the pictures and paraphernalia on the walls was great. Go Bills in 2024 read more

We ordered pizza and wings from this restaurant for takeout. I wasn't the biggest fan of the pizza, but I thought the wings were fantastic. We ordered the barbecue and medium wings, really great flavor and good crispiness on the outside of the wings. Pretty expensive for pizza and wings I thought. read more

Big Tree Inn - a row of sports jerseys hanging on the wall - Sports Bars Near Me - Orchard Park, New York

The wings were GREAT loved the food. The place is a bit small so make sure to get there early.

Stopped in to grab a beer and a bite to eat on a Saturday night. It had been many many years since we had been there. It used to be our favorite spot after the football games back in the day. A few cars in the parking lot maybe 7 people at the bar this particular evening. The bartender was speaking loudly and laughing with someone down at the end working on a football pool. Completely ignored us. We sat there for a good 10 minutes with $40 laying on the bar. He didn't even look our way after he saw us come in and sit down. He moved to the people right next to us and started talking about the football pool. He got their drinks and ignored us until we had enough and walked out. We went down the road to a much better place and dropped over $100 on some appetizers, drinks and a really good tip! We definitely won't be going back. Very disappointing. read more

Best wings in Buffalo. Great pizza. Hardworking gal was both our server and on kitchen duty. Despite being very busy she was super nice & attentive to us. Love how the wings are crispy and charred. If you're a bills fan, you must drop in for food and drinks! read more

I haven't beet to this place in 15 years at least. As soon as I walked in, I got hit with the smell of awesome chicken wings and pizza! Was very crowded but the bartender was definitely a professional dealing with drink and food orders of multiple people at the same time. Very impressive. Current and past Bills players frequent this place for the good food and drinks. It's a good time for sure! read more

I only get here about four times a year and generally go with the cheeseburger medium rare . It is always done to perfection and th fries are and 8.5/10 . The atmosphere is down to earth and my kind of place read more

Went there to try it out in Wednesday because they have a giant sign out for a 12.95 steak dinner. We were only ones in dining room and some kid waiter tells us his boss said special ended at 6pm???? He could care less about his job and was wearing his mask under his nose. Asked him why they have a sign up that says steak dinner on Wed. and don't have special going and he said I don't know, asked if manager available and he said I don't know. We left, wasn't about paying more for food, the attitude of this kid was typical of that generation. Disappointing, I herd this place was good. read more

Great combo value, nice size portions and GREAT service. Wings, chicken fingers and fries all Cool Bills bar.

"Friendliest Bar in America" is what my husband said immediately when we left this bar. We stopped in for a few rounds when we had an hour to kill on Super Bowl Sunday and immediately were greeted by Sarah who got our drafts within a minute of opening the door, had people sliding down the bar to give us seats and had met three different people who introduced themselves when we sat down. Wings looked great, we'll be back to try the food but we were just in for drinks this time. Bills memorabilia is around the bar showing the glory days of the Bills. But if there is any place to show Buffalo is the friendliest city in America in a matter of minutes, it's this bar. read more

I will be here every week! Lots of great Bills items all 9ver too. Make this place a must! read more

i was in town for the bills game and was tryinng to play some buffalo bands (Goo Goo Dolls and ETID) after a gnarly loss and my songs got skipped (after some very explicit Lizzo and Prince songs); when i mentioned something about it i was blown off and told something that sounded rather rude honestly... first time here after being a buffalo native of 28 years and i will NEVER step back in here again (my parents always warned me they had awful custome ser) for a bar so close to the ralph they clearly do NOT cater to bills fans; will avoid anytime i come back read more

Wanted to support a local business during the Covid-19 restaurant closures, so we ordered take-out from Big Tree Inn for lunch today. We drove up and were greeted with an order of fresh, steaming hot chicken wings brought directly to our car. It was difficult to make it back home without breaking into them! They were fantastic and some of the best wings we've had. Will definitely make this a regular lunch spot. So get out and support our local businesses Orchard Park! read more

Will get take out next time-if ever! Walking in you will smell cigarettes and see dirty ashtrays on the "patio". Once you are inside you will be met by rude staff (namely the bartender), dirty floors (it was 4:00 in the afternoon), and wet napkins on the table. Chef salad was iceberg lettuce and cooking onions, with diced tomatoes. We went because they advertise cheap pizza Monday- Wednesday, but there was no wait staff initially. The upside was that the pizza was very good and our waiter was excellent. read more

Stopped by for lunch around 11:30, many people at the bar, we were the only people sitting at the tables. The food took 45 minutes to be served. I ordered the Combo #1, the roast beef was like old dry shoe leather, no gravy or horseradish offered. The BBQ wings weren't too bad, i've had better elsewhere and the pizza logs were overcooked. Lunch #2 ordered was the Combo#2, roast beef sandwich same as the other, asked for regular roll instead of weck, came served with a weck roll, chicken fingers ordered medium which were served plain, fries were good. Lunch #3 ordered was a broiled fish fry which was dry from being overcooked, mac salad was tasteless and the coleslaw was watery and bland. No wonder why we were the only people there on a Friday at lunchtime. Would not recommend this restaurant. read more
