    Pricey
    D A.

    Came from California, honestly wasn't impressed with the wings . I can make wings as good so don't get the hype. I had better wings in Sodus point . They were good but not great and the service was lacking. Not once did hostess check on us for anything no refills . Nope they were too busy socializing. I was generous leaving a tip.

    With the 3 of us we ordered 30 wings, spicy bbq. They arrived within no time, really, really hot temperature. The bbq sauce is not overly spicy, and has a great tangy flavor. The wings were served with carrots ànd celery and of course blue cheese sauce. Unfortunately, the celery was terrible, probably just too old to be served. We took some wings home and enjoyed them the next day.

    I can absolutely see why they have the following they do in buffalo. You definitely have to try this place at least once. I'm not sure if I believe there heat level warnings. I'm definitely not that guy who says " you call that hot". Really great vibe and staff for take out. Bonus they have some really neat merchandise. There logo is simple but cool We got medium wings and they were by far the most aromatic and hard hitting on your nostrils of any buffalo wings They weren't my absolute favorite in buffalo but they were damn good and unique

    Exterior, I would have taken a picture of the wings but they didn't make it.

    HFS! Drove from NC and legit had the best wings I have ever had! The service was good! Ambiance is exactly what I expected to find in a great wing spot! Must go if you're visiting!

    Coming to Buffalo we had to find the best wing spot. My dad and I both had this place bookmarked besides the place known for inventing them, however after being told by a few locals that the original place isn't really the best we decided on duffs. We had the pizza logs and jalepeno poppers to start. I had the 5 boneless lunch special which came with a side of fries. My son wanted the 20 piece so he got the daily special which is apparently for 2 to share so keep that in mind as he has a healthy appetite and did not finish his food. Everyone else at the table shared his large fries and there was left over. The boneless wings were mild and had a great crunch and mild flavor. The medium and bbq my son had were unique sauces. Medium is advertised as hot but to me, trying the sauce was not very hot. My dad thought it was pretty vinegar forward but I think that's how the original sauce is done. My son's mouth did start to burn after about the 5th wing so I would maybe still call that a medium? The bbq sauce was too strong on the ketchup flavor according to my dad but I thought it was good, not sweet. I'm not a wings person, theirs didn't look very appetizing but my son didn't care much for the bbq and he doesn't like flats which are the only ones I eat so I ate a few of his bbq flats and was surprised that they had a little crunch to them too. The pizza logs are essentially pizza egg rolls. I like it. The jalepeno poppers come with a red pepper and we're different but tasty. Service was not friendly but not rude. Definitely not attentive. More like dive bar service. We were asked if we were ready to order immediately upon sitting but when we said no, did not get a chance to order drinks or apps or anything

    Great place with awesome Service!! If you like spicy, go hotter than Medium. For those of us that like spice, Med is really not hot. lol. Very good wings. I preferred them over Anchor.

    My daughter and I both really enjoyed our dinner here with chicken wing appetizer! Would definitely recommend for anyone in the area to go to and we will definitely return. Great service!

    A Buffalo Establishment in its own right beloved by locals and nowadays more often by tourists. People often make the pilgrimage to Duffs to eat fried Buffalo Chicken wings. (Myself included during a recent road trip to Niagara with my wife). The space was modest and it was clear the place maintained its level of charm as a popular destination. They were fully staffed and you can expect your order to arrive in a reasonable time. Duff's Famous Wings taste tangy, buttery, and boldly spicy, with a sharp vinegar kick and rich cayenne heat that coats crispy, juicy chicken. I would not say it is the best though but I'll save that for another review.

    Spicy Garlic Parm & Sweet Cajun Glaze Wings
    Toby M.

    Shared 10 wings here - the sweet cajun glaze and the spicy garlic parm. The flavors are pretty solid, although the garlic parm wasn't spicy at all. The chicken wings themselves were a bit of a disappointment. All of them were very overcooked to the point where even the meat was crunchy hard and well done on the inside. Fast service despite the house being packed and a long waitlist behind us.

    Came for dinner and got the combo #1 that came with 20 wings, a small fried, and a small pitcher. Got the loganberry which is a buffalo specialty drink that's like a mix of raspberry and black berry. It was pretty good, sweet and tarty and went well with wings. The small fries was really big and you have to salt it yourself which I appreciate. We got the medium (which wasn't very hot and tasted only like buffalo so definitely can get hotter as someone who isn't that good with spice) and the sweet Cajun which I prefer a lot more. Wings are cooked well and the service was excellent. We even got to sample the loganberry before ordering it. Overall, service was amazing and food was pretty good. Lots of people for a Monday night.

    Celery and carrots
    Ve'Ka T.

    They did it again! This time I ordered ahead to avoid the wait at the restaurant. They were still packed on a Tuesday night. Hostess was very friendly and gave an accurate time remaining for my order. I ordered 5 lemon pepper wings. . .it was just enough to make you want more! They were hot, crispy, tender, and flavorful at the same time. The side order of celery and carrots was enough to feed 10 people. Next time I'll order more wings!

    A Buffalo staple known for their buffalo wings. But if you've never ask me they're pretty good but not the best wings in town. The classic buffalo wing in my opinion is a bit on the vinegary side here and ordering even five of them becomes repetitive and a bit of a slog after a while. Their other flavors are better. The spicy garlic parm is my fave but I def recommend trying out as many as you can and finding your own favorite. The place is definitely a classic buffalo wing bar with their wooden benches and Bills arcade game in the corner of the entrance. The wait staff is great and I really like how they bring you a bucket to put the bones into. If you are looking for a classic Buffalo wing experience Duffs will surely fill your belly and your chicken wing soul.

    Medium 5 Wings with blue cheese
    Antoine W.

    THIS is why you visit Buffalo: Duff's. Another restaurant may claim they created the Buffalo wing, but this place perfected it. The right size wings. The right doneness and crispness. The sauce, oh, the sauce! Read the small print and take it to heart: Medium was definitely hot enough! Add on the famous Beef on Weck, with enough beef for two sandwiches: Tender beef, horseradish for added spice, and the one-of-a-kind bun! This lunchtime meal was exactly what this out-of-towner needed!

It was not busy and we didn't have to wait for a table which is a plus. I ordered smoked turkey, with salad and sweet potato fries and a pg13 which was ginger beer, mint and I added a shot of vodka. When our food came out I had to question what was going on with the sweet potato fries because they had a thick coating and looked beer battered, not at all indicated on the menu. I asked the server, Kelsey W., and she paused and said yea I don't know for sure but if you can't have gluten I wouldn't eat them. I was annoyed at the situation and just took them off my plate but I understand this can happen. The server seemed annoyed and goes on to blame me and says I should have told her. Now will say I did have to go through the salad ingredients and pick most of them out, she didn't ask me about allergies either. And it's not common to add a beer batter coating to sweet potato fries without indicating it in the menu. The menu should be updated asap for other guests. Any other server would apologize for the situation and ask how they can make it better and not blame for a customer for a misunderstanding. After that I realized there was an extra sauce on the tray, I asked her to check with the kitchen to see what was in it, is it safe for me to eat? She came back 15 minutes later and said she will check and have an answer soon. It was not busy, this was not acceptable. Again clearly not showing any help for your guest with a food issue. This showed me she had zero concern or care about this or trying to smooth it over. Finally, towards the end of the meal I realized my water was leaking, had thought it was condensation as it was hot out. My glass, water cup had a huge crack in it. You would have hoped that someone would have seen it before serving it to someone. Clearly a safety issue. I hope I didn't ingest glass. I handed it back to our server and told her this glass needed to be tossed in the trash. Her response was another blank look, she didn't really care and just gave me another shallow I'm sorry. The rest of my meal was tasty and it was a large portion. Everyone else at my table had nice looking food and was happy with it. I will personally not come back here. District 37- it wouldn't hurt to update your menu and add what is gluten safe and indicate what kind of coating is on your sweet potato fries because a lot of people who choose these have special dietary needs. You should also train your staff to help bring up allergy issues with your guests and have more empathy if an issue arises. If this is something a server isn't able to work on they might consider an alternate employment opportunity.

It was a bit busy (30-40 min wait for dining area), but there were a few tables off to the right of the bar where you could seat yourself. Luckily, one opened up right as we walked in. When seated at these tables, you have to order at the bar. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the nuggiez -- the sauce cooled the boneless bites down a little, but the flavor was still great. I loved all the sauces we tried (saucy hot cajun, medium, and garlic parm). The wings were perfectly crisp, and the steak pizza had a ton of flavor. Definitely a heavier meal, but if you're bringing someone from out of town who wants great wings, this is a spot worth taking them to.
