    3 Crispy Chicken Thighs
    Kenny N.

    I wanted to give Heavenly Buffalo after hearing about their dry buffalo rub. I've only had the saucy variant, so I was curious to taste the difference. I ordered the chicken thighs, which I prefer over wings, because of their size; however, I was sorely disappointed when I got the order. Shrinkflation is real, as the thighs were the size of wings I've gotten from other restaurants. The dry rub flavor was good, but the chicken was hard to eat. The chicken must have been in the fryer for too long, since the meat was tough and dry. Pros: Flavors are good. Cons: Chicken size, cooking time, and portion could use some work. I felt like I was eating Cornish hen or a smaller chicken breed.

    My partner and I were craving wings on a Saturday. Unfortunately, we still aren't used to how crazy downtown Chapel Hill is during football season (can't wait for basketball season... lol). Anyways, after fighting through a crowd of what felt like 300 people scrambling and ignoring all traffic lights, we finally made it to Heavenly Buffalos. And in that moment, it really did feel heavenly due to the hunger and exhaustion we had battling those unruly pedestrians. To my surprise, it was rather empty inside the restaurant! Perhaps too far from campus? Cashier was super nice and handed over the food pretty quick! We got 6 thighs of lemon pepper seasoning and 6 thighs of hot sauce. I can't speak for the hot sauce, but the lemon pepper seasoning was on point! Tangy, malty (if that's even a word), and salty! My only quip is the juiciness of the chicken. Aren't chicken thighs supposed to be juicy? Mine felt rather dry. The crispiness of the exterior and skin was nice, but I was hoping for a burst of juice with my bite. It was rather dry, but the ranch did help! I'm curious if their wings or drums would be any different. I'd be interested to try other flavors offered here. Preferably off sports season lol. It's nice to have a chicken place close by!

    Really good vegan wings and waffle fries! I've ordered takeout from here several times and they always deliver (literally and figuratively). Prices are a bit high but I think that's the going rate for wings these days. I've only stepped inside for pickup. but there were a lot of tables and it was clean inside! I usually get buffalo wings with salt & pepper fries but the ginger & garlic are my new obsession--they come nice and caramelized! And you can order two flavors if you order 14 wings or more!

    Tried this place for the first time today. I'm currently with my family at the UNC hospital and figured I would order it and bring it back to the hotel. The prices were a little high, but honestly, everything is expensive these days. I feel like I should be able to get two flavors when I order the 13 wing combo. That's a lot of wings for just one flavor. The wings were decent. The service was good. Didn't dine in so I can't really say too much about the vibe of the place. Whether I would return or not is up in the air.

    I quite enjoyed my brief experience at Heavenly Buffaloes. I saw they had vegan wings so I stopped in. Ordering was quick and easy. I love ordered vegan wings to go, and a beer while I waited. They have many sauce options which is great. I got the hottest sauce they had and a BBQ. Both were great. The interior is clean. The employees are nice. The vegan wings are tasty. I'll return if I stay nearby again.

    I love sweet potato fries! And wings! They execute both really well and I love that you can add dry rubs to their fries. When I go, everything comes out crispy and fresh (even with the sauces) and the food is super filling. I love their signature dry rub or cinnamon sugar with sweet potato fries and their spicy bbq boneless wings, but you can't really go wrong with any flavor.

    Could it be?? For real? We've found a good wing place?!? I am giddy with excitement! We also ordered these through Door Dash and they were still warm and so good! The sauce was thick, and tasty with just the right amount of spice. My husband's wings were spicy and meaty and delicious. We've been hoping for a good wing place and I believe we have found it!! Yay!

    Soy wings with Sweet Thai Coconut Chili
    Sonam S.

    This is the great place for a quick bite and drinks. As a vegetarian their soy wings are great! They also have a great variety of rubs for the wings AND fries! This definitely a staple for chapel hill and the fries always hit the perfect craving for waffle fries!

    5 stars for the kindness of the owner and Idaho waffle fries with Heavenly Buffaloes dry rub! Wings were good - my husband is from Buffalo, NY so we're always looking for great wings. These did the job (but if you're from Buffalo they're not Buffalo Buffalo wings if you know what I mean). Love the outdoor patio space and how brightly painted the building and umbrellas are. They have an outdoor window to order from if you don't want to go inside. Great daily specials on beer too. What's on special varies per day of the week.

    I love Heavenly Buffaloes! We live in Wake Forest but every time we are around Durham or Chapel Hill we stop there to eat some wings. The Heavenly Buffaloes dry seasoning is so good that it's worth the 35min - 45min drive just to eat there. We usually get some boneless wings with dry Heavenly Buffaloes seasoning and the Idaho fries with dry Heavenly Buffaloes seasoning. We like the Chapel Hill location because it has indoor sitting and it's nice but it's farther so we don't go there as often since the Durham locations are closer to us.

We also shared a plate of three sides, originally wanted the fried green tomatoes, but they were sold out, so we swapped for hushpuppies along with collard greens and baked beans. I'll be honest, when my sandwich came out I was a little nervous because the slaw is BRIGHT yellow. I was expecting a strong yellow mustard flavor (which I'm not a fan of), but it actually wasn't like that at all and worked really well. My husband's bologna sandwich had a super thick cut piece of bologna and was fried perfectly. Everything we had was delicious, but I seriously could not stop eating the pickles, they were that good! The staff was friendly and happy to answer all our questions. It did fill up pretty quickly while we were there, but they've got a big outdoor seating area with plenty of space too. Definitely worth a visit!

I ordered a barbecue plate which comes with hush puppies that came out of an extruder, sliced pickled cucumbers and a yellow slaw. I don't know what causes the slaw to be yellow whether it's a spice or mustard. If it's mustard, there's not much mustard flavor, and it was chopped into oblivion. More of a mush. The BBQ tasted pretty good although it was already sauced. The collard greens I got instead of the pickles was a generous portion even given that substitute sides are $3 extra. The collards didn't taste that good, but adding some of their vinegar sauce helped. The thicker sauce taste better, imo. It's OK, don't know if I'll be back, probably not, but maybe worth a try for you.
