    Stopped by here today first time in a couple of years. Walls need repainted there's a lot of chips and gashes in the paint. The service was good. Food was okay. I got the chicken sandwich it's not the same and I'm devastated. It used to be the best fried chicken sandwhich in Durham. Now it's not worth the parking and walking up the hill. It's two pre breaded and fried chicken strips now. I miss the hand breaded fried sandwich it was amazing. The fries are the same they're waffle fried crisp. EVERYTHING IS MADE FRESH! The fudge brownies even aren't what they used to be. They're still excellent but something changed. I'm disappointed! I'd rather you guys raise your prices than lower your quality. However I realize you're catering to college students not my middle class middle age self. Don't know if it's worth the parking to come back again.

    Parmesan Garlic Bone-In Wings

    I found this to be an average wing stop. This is a small restaurant with good amount of outdoor seating in a small courtyard. I liked the courtyard. I ordered bone-in wings and only tried one flavor, the PARMESAN GARLIC. It came with good garlic but little cheese flavor. Additionally, it had a vinegar hot sauce character which drove it to taste more like a garlic buffalo sauce. The Parmesan garlic sauce from the two big wing chains are better in my opinion. I ordered the wings extra crispy, which is a standard option in their online ordering page. They weren't extra crispy, nor were they even crispy at all. I was disappointed in this. I will say I received fast service. They were ready for pickup in just over 10 min after submitting the order online. They sent a text message as soon as they were ready which was convienent.

    Great Staff. Great Food...And TV on Sports. ..Definitely can't go wrong with this location near Duke's campus....

    My partner and I went to dinner here the other night. The decor is adorable with random art with buffalo all over. Our food was really good. I wanted two sauces on my wings but you can only get one sauce with the smaller order (and the price difference for the next largest was significant). I ended up getting the wings naked and then got two sauces on the side to try. I wasn't a huge fan of the zesty garlic parmesan because it was oily. The Peri Peri sauce was amazing though. The waffle fries were super crispy. You can get them with any of the dry rubs on there. I didn't but I tried my partner's sweet potato fries with jerk seasoning and it was delicious. Our server was nice and took good care of us. This is close to our house so we will definitely be back.

    I was early to meet my friend and while there were no other tables in use, the waitress seemed a little bummed that I was only going to sit here with my laptop and sip at a beer. And then when my friend arrived and was quite indecisive about her dinner order, our waitress was a little frustrated. But honestly, so was I. This isn't a super complicated menu, folks. I got 13 wings (they do bone-in wings in 7, 13, 25, 51, 103 and 251 because yes, let's have odd numbers) in hot sauce. The arrived promptly and were pretty good. Not as meaty as some I've had but they were hot and fresh. Not swimming in sauce, the "hot" was only mildly hot. Going up to Zass-hoff would have been too much, so this was good. We also got a half order of the waffle fries, of which I tried one. A sweet potato with the zesty garlic parmesan, they were good. I wouldn't break keto for them, but good. The place slowly got a little busier but not enough that giving customers more time would have been a problem. TV's tuned in to two different movie channels and a wifi that I wasn't able to connect to and didn't really bother. A few options for people who don't eat wings (and why are you hanging around with them at a wing joint) including vegan wings (soy) and a chicken sandwich and salads with or without chicken nuggets. Some macro beer options and wine in a can. I can see returning to Heavenly Buffaloes. It was good. [Review 15528 overall, 1032 of 2021, number 3067 in North Carolina.]

    I have been hearing about heavenly buffaloes for some time now so I was excited to finally try it. The restaurant is located in a plaza with other businesses. There is a parking lot located behind the businesses. Outdoor seating is located in front of the business and tables and bar seating is inside. There is a television by the bar. I give the server, Nick 5 stars! He is really a people person person and wants you to have an enjoyable experience while dining here. He told me what the drink specials were and also made recommendations on the wings. I would give the food 4 stars. The food was good but not overwhelmingly spectacular. I ordered the sweet Thai chili wings. There are no descriptions for the wing flavors so I didn't realize that there would be nuts on the wings. It wasn't bad but just different. I also tried the heavenly Buffalo dry rub. By the time that I got home with my leftovers the rub had turned into a wet sauce and tasted like Buffalo wings. The wings were a good size. The wings are also served with carrots, celery and a choice of ranch or blue cheese. The fries were ok. The half order is large enough to share. They do offer seasonings that can be served on the fries. After eating Nick packed up my food for me. He has great customer service skills! If I come back I would try other food items.

    I've always been a fan of "Heavenly Buffaloes". Hands down the best wings I've ever had! Unfortunately the Durham location never had a dine-in option, I would always have to order takeout. Well -- they do now at their 2nd location on Erwin Rd. There's nothing like fresh wings! It's even better to eat it fresh out from the kitchen! The wings were hot and fries were crispy! Same menu but with alcohol/drinks menu. It's not a bad place to catch a game since there are TV's in the front. Basically, if you're planning to dine-in, just find a table and a server will come to you. There are lots of seating options. The customer service is top notch. Shout out to Nick for walking me through the ordering process and providing excellent service. Excited to have this new location!

    Vegan Wings

    Absolutely LOVE their vegan wings and waffle fries! I'm visiting a friend for the week and put this place on my list of must visit restaurants. We used to frequent the Markham St location when I lived in Durham. What sets this location apart is the indoor seating option! Thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. The food was excellent, the place was clean, and the music was hoppin!

    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 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. I like this new location better than the original location because it has indoor sitting and also because for some reason the chicken here is better and not dry like the one at the original location.

As you enter there is a sign that tells you to go look at the menu board, pick out your drink, and go back to the counter to order. I grabbed a diet coke, and ordered a Common Cobb. I was a bit surprise when my total came to $18, as my salad was only $14 but I guess I should have paid attention that my bottle of soda was over $3. How much are the fountain drinks, I wonder? I found us a table inside since it was a bit hot that day (there is also plenty of seating outside AND inside if you go downstairs). The table and floor were messy but someone quickly came to clean it for me. They called our names over the loudspeaker and my best friend went to go get our food. She got the MotherClucker. Our food was REALLY good. If you like Cobb salad, you will definitely like this one. The chicken was pan seared perfectly, the vinaigrette was perfectly tangy and the bleu cheese was especially excellent. My friend's chicken sandwich has SO MUCH chicken salad on it. Impressive. There was so many neat items to see in the place. The murals were great, there were some cute retail spaces, a coffee bar up front, a bar downstairs, and ice cream outside! Unfortunately my bestie and I had too much to talk about so we didn't check it out as much as I otherwise wood. I would definitely try this place again!

I came at 5:45 on a Monday (because no other places are open on Mondays!), and was one of maybe four me. In the place. The rest were moms with one or two (or more!) kids, some waiting for dad to join them after work. I ate in a covered patio that in a few months will be too hot to endure. But tonight, mid-March, it's a sunny delight. I ordered a smashburger and a Kingstown Negroni. Drae stirred my drink and out the order in, and it arrived with fries just minutes later. Juicy double patty burger, caramelized onions, cheese, salt & pepper fries. Fresh and very tasty. WiFi was fast, music was smooth but subdued. (Think Sade and Barry White dueling. Wish I wasn't alone!) Kids were everywhere, but very well-behaved and in explore mode, which I find adorable! There are outside areas covered in open or tarps, clear flexi-glass walled off areas, and true "indoor" places you can watch TV in. Everything from Top Gear to REN & Stimpy. A great way to spend an early dinner/very late lunch.

Casual with various seating options booths, chairs, benches. Very kid friendly, there were many young children running around inside and outside. My only negative would be the amount of flies around the food and landing on your food while you're eating. Service was great, fast and friendly. I appreciated the ordering system. You could order from the bar or order from the unique QR CODE attached to each table. You could close out from your phone or the bar. Staff brings out your drink and food order according to your unique QR code id. Food was amazing! Can't wait to come back and try something different. I had the smash burger with regular fries and the peach ginger non alcoholic drink (very yummy).

I really enjoy Detroit style pizza and it's not something you see a lot of around NC so that's nice. They also have a very good Gluten Free option which is nearly the same as the traditional crust - and if you ask they can mock up the cheesy sticks using the GF crust as well. The service is always super friendly at any location I've been to.

Sweet with a little bit of tang and you can definitely taste the seasoning. The crust has the right thickness the right crunch and the right give. The crust could stand to have a little more flavor but overall it was a solid crust. My issue with the food was for $25 on a 8x10 pizza, there should be enough cheese in the mix to cover more than 60% of the pizza. They have a "signature cheese blend" but then 40% of the pizza doesn't get any of it. A bit disappointing. Which gives the value a 2/5 at best. In addition to these two factors I was asked my name for the order when I arrived. The young lady walked off and then I spotted her on her phone in the corner, followed by folding pizza boxes in a different corner. Eventually a gentleman approached with the same question. Wouldn't you know it, my order was sitting right there next to the host stand. Not impressive. The ambiance is a bit pretentious for a place serving pizza which I found to be pretty greasy. The ambiance definitely matches the price so I guess that's what they are going for. The only lot for parking is paid but I suppose that may be the norm for "downtown" Durham. The flavor again was very good, but the value and the competency of the staff are a miss. As a frequent traveler I think I'd explore the other options next time rather than return.
