Their boneless wings are SO GOOD, getting some celery with it too? COMBO MOVE. And the staff are so respectful and patient even when it's clear they're having a SUPER busy day. The place is clean, the food always tastes fresh, and they bag everything really well. I recommend for ANY kinda person. (Try the spicy garlic wings with ranch fr...) read more

My husband is an 18 wheeler driver, and im pregnant and of course our air in the truck went out, so we got put up at the extended stay. I was craving wings and since we were from Mississippi, we didn't know of anything that wasn't a chain. We found this place and LET ME TELL YOU these are about the BEST wings ive had in a WHILE. They were perfectly cooked and the crunch was AMAZING! Thank yall for such a great meal. I highly recommend teriyaki garlic and DONT forget the ranch!! My husband also loved his with NO sauce. Said the flavor was Awesome! Thanks again ! read more

Arrived a little before noon and got seated. We sat for 10 to 15 minutes with no contact from a waitress not even the one from serving the 2 behind us. Then a couple more minutes and 4 people came in sat down at the table behind my husband and was immediately greeted by a waitress carrying one water and silverware. We looked at each, got up and left. No one asked why we were leaving. read more

I've been eating at this restaurant for more than 35 years. This wasn't just another place to grab a meal--it was one of my favorite restaurants and a place I recommended to friends and family without hesitation. That's what makes its decline so frustrating to watch. For what feels like a year or so now, every problem is met with the same explanation: "Sorry, it's a new person in the kitchen." At some point, that excuse stops being believable. Constant turnover isn't bad luck--it's a sign that something is fundamentally wrong. The food quality has become wildly inconsistent. On my latest visit, the fries were so undercooked that some were essentially raw potatoes. The boneless wings were dry and overcooked to the point of being tough. The bone-in wings were questionable enough that I lost my appetite. The best word I can use to describe the meal is simply: ick. The servers deserve better. They work hard, stay professional, and often seem stuck apologizing for problems they didn't create. What concerns me most is the management. On multiple visits, I've watched the manager Josh speak down to employees in a way that no customer should be hearing and no employee should have to endure. I've seen staff members visibly upset and even reduced to tears. When customers can hear employees being talked down to, there is a leadership problem. The owner needs to pay attention. When employees leave, new kitchen staff constantly rotate through, customers hear the same excuses over and over, and food that was once consistently excellent becomes a gamble, the problem isn't the newest person in the kitchen. The problem is the culture being created by management. After 35+ years as a loyal customer, this is not a review I ever expected to write. What was once one of the most reliable restaurants in town now feels like a business surviving on its reputation while quality, morale, and standards continue to decline. The saddest part is that I remember how good this place used to be. read more

This is my first trip to Buffalo Wings & Ribs. The facility is located in the Joan Plaza strip mall. Lots of parking and easy to find. The restaurant is large and could handle 8+ people sized groups pretty well. It's clean and orderly. Not a lot of appeal in the decor. The staff here was very friendly and really hustled to serve us. I really appreciated that our waitress pushed our kids meals to the front of the line. On this occasion I ordered plain bone-in wings with a dry rub. I was expecting wings that were slow cooked and smoked in a dry rub. BWR fries their wings and then rolls them in the rub. I found the wings to be small in size and not very meaty. None of my 10 wings approached meaty. The wing seemed to be over fried. The exterior was very crispy and seemed to pull a lot of the moisture out of the wing. The lemon pepper dry rub was very good. The rubs were very thick on the wing. You could easily pick to the lemon pepper flavor. Though it was almost overpowered by a salty taste. The Parmesan dry rub had a clear cheese flavor and wasn't as salty. I think I need to try their wet wings before I give a definite thumbs up or down. read more

Waiter was new. He was a delight. But not sure what BDubs is doing with the appetizers. I was actually appalled when the pickles came to the table cause how the fuck you gonna give me 12 pickles for $10 quite literally cut a pickle up and called it a day knowing good and goddamn well if one of you motherfuckers would've got that you've been salty. Kind of wild that you actually brought it to the fucking table with a smile on your face. America doesn't have anything but trash fucking service anymore. Other than the lame ass pickles. The food was great. Maybe next time add to the menu what you get. Never seen this before. read more

This is my most favorite place to order wings. My favorite meal is the bone in wings with medium sauce, garden salad, and fried mushrooms! Yum!! read more

Good lil wings and ribs joint... Kinda of like BW3's, but I presume family owned... The restaurant itself was a little run down (but not dirty), as you can tell it's a busy place. The food was pretty good... I got the wings and ribs combo. The wings were good, but small; I really liked their buffalo sauce (hot) -- very vinegary. The ribs were also good, with a tangy-style bbq sauce. They make all their own dressings... The ranch and blue cheese were both excellent. I'd give a Dave Portnoy solid 7.2. read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat. Great service. Amazing wings. A great eating experience overall. 10/10

Cold chicken noodle soup on carry-out on Jan. 2023. The prices are good. The soup is the best in town, but tonight's soup was cold, refrigerater cold. We did carryout and i was shocked, the soup was cold. read more

We went on a Friday night. Pretty busy when we got there at 7pm- waited a half hour- but then half the tables were empty by 8:15. Nothing special about the decor. Can seat large parties. The table topss were clean but the booths and chairs were very sticky. Most people in our group ordered bone-in wings and they enjoyed them - tried one and they were ok. BUT, a couple of us got boneless wings. They were the worst we've ever had. They were completely rock hard all the way through. I understand having a crunchy coating, but these were beyond crunchy. They were like eating petrified cookies - you bite into it and have to crunch through the hardened, very little bits of chicken in the middle. This was not just one bad one, they all were. So suggest to stick with bone-in. Sides were good - we got the fries and baked potatoes. read more

If you order ribs and fries for takeout, request the fries be put in a separate box. Unless you like soggy fries. read more

Great spot for drinks, food, and watching games. Wings on point (order the P wings on the secret menu, IYKYK)

Got right in! Ordered and ate delicious crispy wings. Wonderful service. Highly recommend!

I'm a wing aficionado, so finding a place that specializes in wings was a complete score for me! I did not come to eat healthy or try the variety on the menu, I came for wings and this review is focused on that. First of all, I must complement BW&R in cooking the wings to proper doneness (places like BWW do not do this unless asked for "well done"). They also had plenty of sauce! #score The only thing I'd hope for next time is a better choice in beer and wine. Either way, I'm still coming back with an empty stomach and excited tastebuds! read more

The place is well kept and very open not crowded unless a lot of people come in the front door at one time. Was greeted by a very nice young lady who took us to a very spacious table for our 4 adults and 3 kids, instead of cramming us into a small booth. The sauces were great but were in no order in the menu, so you had no clue what level of hot you were getting. The boneless wings were 80% breading 15% chicken and 5% sauces, with the sauces carrying all the flavor. The Thursday special is paying $5 more for 16 wings than if you ordered 16 wings at $.80 a large fry and drink. 16 wings, fry and drink is $25, little steep considering the majority of what you are eating is fried flour. Won't try it again. read more

Wow, they really went downhill. Every time I come in here I think the wings get smaller and smaller. I asked the waitress if these were from pigeons? That's how small the wings were. As you can see in one of my photos, the flat is probably a half a bite worth of meat. Over cooked and dry. Such a disappointment! This place used to be so good. And the prices have doubled. It's now $14 for a 10 piece lunch. It used to be $7.99. read more

Great place for cold wings and awkward social situations. Terrible carry out experience. They told me it'd be ready in 15, I showed up on time, waited 40 mins. I'm pretty sure it was ready when they said it would and they just lost my name because my wings were totally cold when I got home. At least I got to watch customer after customer argue with the staff. Lost orders, lost names, long waits... you name it, they messed it up. You'd think five people running the front door would be enough. If you need that many people, maybe put one of them in charge... or at least put'em in charge of not screwing up. read more

This is the best place to get wings, bar none. Their special wing sauce is the perfect blend of flavors, the chicken is juicy and everything else is also amazing. Great staff, great food, great experience! You won't be disappointed! read more

If you have a craving for wings or ribs, this is the place to go. This place is like a staple in Fort Wayne and it has been around a long time. Going in it looks like a very plain atmosphere with tables and bench's with many TV's. They do serve beer and wine but it is limited. However I always get a blue moon here because it is one of the coldest blue moon beers in all of Fort Wayne. For an appetizer we ordered the mushrooms. They were just regular mushrooms that tasted good. They look like they had probably been frozen before but they were still good. I ordered the ribs and wings combo dinner. Which was absolutely delicious. The wings I got medium garlic in the ribs I got their normal barbecue sauce. You can get dry rub for both which I've had and recommend too.The wings were just as good as always excellent. Now they do have other flavors that you can choose from and often they will split the flavors up for you. The one great thing about this place is you can choose between drums and flats and they don't have an issue faith it. I am a drum person and my husband is a flats person. So no fighting over wings! This time I just left it regular because we were kind of sharing. My husband got the ribs and chicken combo which the ribs were absolutely fall off the bone delicious and moist. The chicken it was just OK. Just kind of plain we just saved it and will probably use it to put in a salad later this week. Lol. Both of these plates head fries they are the real skinny kind of curly looking fries. My husband loves these fries however I am more of a thick fry girl. They were hot and fresh. Our plates also came with garlic bread which was ok. The atmosphere here is kind of loud so if you're going to come here this is where people bring their kids and family and they might want to watch a game so it is not gonna be quiet here. The service is very wonderful. I always see that they have the same waitresses so that tells me that it's a good place to work. They are very efficient, answers all your questions in very nice. I'm giving this a four-star Because I feel if they just tweak a couple of things here it could be almost to five start. Like the chicken and mushrooms. read more

I like the food here but the reason I did not give a 5 star was due to my wings being dry and hard. I think it came out of the grease and sat for half an hour or so. There's nothing worst than old chicken. Other wise the food is normally good. read more

Good service and much more affordable than b-dubs. I really liked their French onion soup. Their chicken wrap was decent too.

I have previously rated this location very hard. Their service used to be less than stellar. However-they've increased the level of service quite a bit. The flavors they offer are amazing. I am still concerned that management has not been Answering their negative reviews. It's almost as if management doesn't care. Come to think of it-I think I've only seen a manager in the place once or twice. But they're doing much better than they were, so I have increased my rating of this location. read more

My bill came to 54.60 i was shorted fried mushrooms and my 7 year old daughters boneless wing were sauced in a spicy sauce when meant to be plain. We called was on hold for almost 10 minutes and finally the manager got on the line and right away her tone of voice was extremely rude and eventually hung up on my spouse. So i in turn called back and spoke to Nicole which is the manager there and still attitudinal wanted to know what i wanted. In the long run was told a gift certificate will be mailed but with her rudeness i doubt I will get one. With that kind of money being spent my business will be taken elsewhere for being treated so poorly. read more

Overall service: 2 Overall food: 2.5 Had the chicken Caesar wrap. It was ok but more on the bland side. The dressing tasted pretty flat while the chicken was equally boring. Service was ok but could do better. One of our orders got messed up bit the replacement only took 4 minutes to fix. The chips were over salted and the salsa was rather boring (maybe I except a little more having lived in California for so long now my standards of salsa have risen up a few notches). The menus had this refined film to them. Lets call it grease and dirt. If this menu was a kid's menu, I'd kinda understand but since it was a regular menu, does it hurt to wipe the menus down once in a while? Or in this case, put them through the sink? Empty on a Tuesday lunch hour. Maybe it was slow but isn't the a time to shine and give it your best to make sure all your customers are happy? read more

I've always heard good things about the one north of Ft Wayne so figured it was worth a shot!

Wait staff is great. Food not so much. Going from a mild garlic to medium could be compared to the North Pole vs. Death Valley in summer. Literally peeling the skin off my lips.

He could have done the right thing, but just had to make a bad situation worse. read more

I am not from this area but found Buffalo Wings & Ribs here on Yelp! - glad I did. I had the bone in wings and my wife had boneless. Our carry-out wings were delicious. This small family owned business is doing it right. If you go pay special attention of the teamwork of the entire staff. You don't see that anymore with the younger generation so whatever Buffalo Wings & Ribs is doing on this front they should bottle it and sell!! read more

Wow this place is great! We just ordered their food through Waiter on the Way. The wings were fantastic and the ribs were unbelievable. Super tender and delicious. We also got the deep-fried appetizer basket, which I don't usually order. It was amazing!The whole crew said they want to order from there again soon. I highly recommend them! read more

This review was written by my wife.Wing Quest - Week 4: It'd been a good many years since we last lunched at Buffalo Wings & Ribs on W. Jefferson Blvd. in Fort Wayne so it was time to go back. As I recall from our first time there I was unimpressed with the less-than-crisp skin on the wings which left an unpleasant layer of fat on the meat. However, I'm very happy to report that is old history. The wings we had today were the meatiest found almost anywhere and the skin was done to a perfect crispness leaving the very moist and tender muscle tissue virtually free of fat. Each wing was evenly coated with our sauce choices, leaving an ample pool of sauce at the bottoms of the baskets for extra dipping. If you love wings, and can't get enough, this establishment may just be the place for you! Wings can be ordered bone-in or boneless in increments of 10, 16, 25, 50, 75, or 100 with prices starting at $14.99 for 10 and going to $124.99 for 100 bone-in wings. (Boneless wings are $12.59 - $96.99.) Customers can also add 6 wings to any menu item for $9.59. There are twelve sauces to choose from including Mild or Mild Garlic, Medium or Med. Garlic, Hot or Hot Garlic, X-Hot or X-Hot Garlic, Suicide, or Suicide Garlic, Cajun Inferno, BBQ, Honey BBQ, Mesquite BBQ, Hot BBQ, Teriyaki, and Shanghai Red. They all sounded wonderful, but alas, I can only review the 4 we tried. For those who like a slightly sweeter wing I feel confident recommending the Suicide Sauce. I don't know how it got it's moniker because although it's delicious it's definitely not deadly. For those of you who crave spice the next three are sure to please. The Shanghai Red has a very flavorful slow heat that doesn't stay on the palate so long as to affect other foods you may be trying. Extra Hot is Buffalo Sauce with added "kick." It's vinegary heat lingers a little longer on the tongue, which is quite pleasant for heat-seekers like us. We found the most complex flavors with the best blast of spiciness to be in the Cajun Inferno. It's bouquet of Cajun seasoning reaches one's olfactory senses prior to it's earthy, thick heat meeting the lips. Between the excellent service and the fine wing preparation we wholeheartedly give Buffalo Wings & Ribs TWO THUMBS UP! FYI: Pepsi products and beer are available. Wednesdays at this eatery feature $1 wings that must be ordered in groups of 5. Celery with Bleu Cheese or Ranch dressings can be ordered separately. Wing on! read more

I'm not sure how this place has all of these amazing reviews. I can only think that the company is paying people for 5 stars. I've new been here 4 times and each time was equally as disappointing. Fries are flavorless, wings are tiny and covered in grocery store sauce, ribs are mostly bone and no meat. The only times I've gone are with friends who want to go. It's not just not worth the cost, it's just plain not good food. read more

We are wing snobs and the only place we will go is Buffalo Wings & Ribs. The north store is great but the south store is consistently the BEST! The wings are always crunchy but never dry or overcooked; and if you happen to get Tristen as your server you need to go pick up a lottery ticket on your way home because she is the best server in Ft. Wayne! Hands down, the BEST! read more

I've been ordering carryout from this restaurant for awhile. I was very disappointed with the carryout service that I received. I ordered 50 wings, extra wet (which is extra) with blue cheese, 2 buffalo wraps with blue cheese, and an extra large blue cheese. This order was over $70! The wings were dry, and the blue cheese was missing for the wraps. I don't know if Corona got to my order before I did or what, but I'm really pissed that my order was messed up. read more

Some of the best wings in town. Period. I started coming to buffalo wings & ribs back in high school - especially on half days. It's an easy place to come with a larger group of friends and pull some tables together. Their wings - I don't even know how to describe them. Just down right amazing. Note: their mild is a butter sauce. I usually go for the medium and hot. The sauce is think and extra delicious when dipped in their bleu cheese dressing. Which I think they may make in house. The fries. I honestly don't know why they are so good. I think it is how most people eat them there. With vinegar and ketchup. They have bottles of each on the table. Seriously, vinegar them up!!! Service can be slower - but friendly. read more
