Very disappointed with the service from this place and after reading a lot of reviews it seems to be a common problem. My boyfriend and I went before the Sabres game on Thursday, got there about an hour and a half before the game maybe a few mins after 5:30. It being our first time our waitress told us exactly what we had to try, 10 wings & a corn beef sandwich to split, which was great for someone like me who usually takes forever to decide. So 20 mins after we order our waitress comes by to give us napkins and condiments, leading us to believe our food would be following shortly after. After another 10 mins goes by I look around at the other tables that were there before us and neither one had their food yet but we figured it had to be only a matter of time, wings take 15 mins to cook and there are only so many tables to begin with. We were finally served about 6:30, AT LEAST 45 mins after we ordered. Asked for our food boxed up, paid and left. Honestly the ONLY reason they are getting 2 stars is for the food. The food probably deserves 5 stars, but I only had one wing (I had to at least try one after paying for the food especially since wings aren't good reheated). Ended up getting food from the arena after paying for food from here. Beyond annoyed with the service. A heads up or ANYTHING would have been nice. Will not be returning because there is no way I am waiting that long for wings. Would rather make the drive to Bar Bill in EA. read more

Discovered the best wings in Buffalo, hands down. I have never been a wings person and need to be really in the mood for them. I saw these get ordered and a friend suggested I try at least one. I tried the one, had a second, and a third, and a fourth. These are crispy, saucy, and tender. They came drenched in a tangy hot sauce and were still perfectly crispy. They have a lot of rules when it comes to eating wings including cash only, and the entire party has to be present in order to be seated. There is a reason they don't do carry out on certain days folks, it's because people can't get enough... and neither can I. read more

Amazing food. The best wings you will find in Buffalo hands down. The French fries themselves are enough reason to go lol.

The wings are so good here they will make you do spinkicks. Get here when they first open so you dont have to wait too long. After you have these wings you will know that you have just eaten the greatest wing of all time. read more

I've wanted to stop here for wings since all my fellow yelpers are saying how good they are so Saturday night I finally got to stop in. Seeing a parking lot across the street with a few empty spots was encouraging, thinking that maybe they haven't gotten too busy yet. Walked in and saw 3 or 4 empty tables and my expectations grew! The hostess greeted us with "there's an hour and a half wait for food" WHAT!!??? I'm sorry but no chicken wing is worth an hour and a half wait. I still want to try the wings here so maybe another night. read more

Classic neighborhood bar, with one of the longest and nicest shuffle board tables I have ever seen. Good feel, locals doing there Wednesday thing! Told right up front, table in 15, food in 60... no worries, great atmosphere, server (Kelly) killing it! Chicken wings, wow! Impressive. Seems to have figured out how to carmalize the wing, then apply the sauce. Unique crunch into a large, well prepared buffalo wing. Not just dumped into a bucket and thrown on the table. Wings were well presented and a joy to burn my lips on!!! Just relax, enjoy good conversation and wait for some of the best wings you had!!! read more

Not gonna lie, the 50 mins of waiting for my 20 wings and pitcher of water refill, I was furious at waiting all that time. I have been here before a few years ago, experience was kinda the same, with a less wait time. But at least have the courtesy to let me know it's going to take some time, instead of ignoring me the entire 50 MINS. For crying out loud. It was just my wife and I.. Wondering.. Should we just leave? The waitress just looked at us as we sat there. Eye contact.. But no courtesy check up.. For a small place where its so hard to avoid eye contact. Being in a dive place like this, as mentioned by the other reviewers, I don't need to get into details.. They hit the hammer right on the nail. But 50 mins? For 20 wings? The place here was nearly empty, the patio was extremely full, I dunno I just hated driving 15 mins to a place to feel ignored. And then what's the deal with "cash only" there are a bunch of smaller mom and pop stores that has an option of using credit card. I kind of find that unacceptable, because then I had to go to the 7 eleven across the street, leaving my wife alone. But guess what? Because new atms were installed at the 7 eleven, they were down, so I had to drive another mile to the nearest bank. And when I returned, wings still didn't arrive. Then I got the wings. Yes they are very good. Very crispy, and big. And for the sauce, very weak options.. Just mild, medium, hot. Unfortunately I had better, my wife thought so too. But I dont go to places for the food, I go to places for the experience. If I just wanted to eat, I'd stay at home and cook myself a storm. Anyways, I was gonna give this place a 4 star just cause of the food. But I'd rather give this place a 1, but I'm not.. So it's a 2. Food is what made this place stay around.. Not the business obviously. read more

Probably the best wings in Buffalo area. Always crispy and hot style wings are nice and hot. read more

I'll make it short and sweet....no.....SPICY! Their wings are fantastic. Perfectly cooked and perfectly sauced. I got their hot wings. Amazing. The sauce was almost like a BBQ sauce. Flavorful, spicy, savory, crispy. Their garlic fries are also something people need to get. They are awesome. Rustic bar fries with tasty garlic and salt. Give them a try. It's a bar that's nothing to look at, and their bathrooms are nasty, but people, the food is fantastic. read more

I'm from Buffalo, although I've lived all over the world at this point and currently live in Manhattan. I've lived in several "culinary capitals." I'm adventurous when it comes to food, and I'm not that easy to please. These are the best wings I've ever had. Ever. Forget Anchor Bar, it stinks. Forget Duffs. It's stinks too, and everyone who tells you different is wrong, flat out. Duffs wings are inconsistent, half the time they're dry, overcooked and meatless. Plus, they water down their beer. Not only are these the best wings (you can taste that butter), this bar is great - it should be a Buffalo landmark on par with the Old Pink. Divey in a friendly sort of way. Good beer on tap. And the fries are great. They're so good, that I'm reviewing the FRIES, people. I took my NYC-born girlfriend here and she thought South Buffalo was the NICEST place in Buffalo - how often do you hear that? I'm almost afraid to review this place, because I like that it's a secret. But I was hesitant to try because I couldn't find anything online, just word of mouth. I'm glad I did. You'll see me here next time I'm in town. read more

OK so I have been hearing about how these may be the best wings in the city and since I live in South Buffalo I figured I should at least check them out. Stopped here last night after Silo City CNU22 event. Only a couple people in the bar, but I asked if they were still serving as it was just after 10pm. They were so I sat at the bar and ordered a double order of wings, hot. For a beer to wash it down there was really only one good choice Aviator Red. Tap selection was a bit weak, so luckily there is the push to serve local and now most places at least having some Flying Bison. Wings came out relatively quick, and boy did they look delicious. I let them cool for a second and then dug in. Now if you are looking for a standard Buffalo hot wing, these are really good. They were crispy outside, juicy and fall off the bone inside. Noticed they give all drummettes and no wing mid-section as well. They are big and meaty too. As to the sauce, well that is what they are supposed to be known for, and I was unimpressed. It was spicy but not so hot that they slowed you down from eating them. For a traditional wing they might be the best in the city, but really I would still take Conlon's on Abbott Rd's House wings over these, as they have a really unique sauce that these can't compare too. So that being said I would have probably given this place 4 stars except for three things. 1) those wings are a bit pricey, with the one beer the total came out to $21.75, which is a bit higher than I expect at a corner pub, 2) the men's room is horrid and looks like it might fall to pieces while you are in there. And 3) that weak tap selection, gotta have some kind of good micro brew choice. read more

I sadly just found out about Nine Eleven Tavern (named for the address, not the disaster) last year. It's sad because I think the best chicken wings in Buffalo are being served out of this little dive bar in South Buffalo. The actual Chicken Wing is standard, large and crispy but where they really stand out is their home made sauce. Apparently the owner has been offered thousands of dollars for the secret recipe (this isn't your typical Frank's and butter) and I can see why. No ones wings in Buffalo taste like these, the sauce is sour but sweet and spicy with flecks of either cheese or garlic, I can't put my finger on it. They have great fresh cut fries that are strongly seasoned as well as fish fry, burgers, etc. They only take cash and wait times for food can get into the hour + range because of their small kitchen, but it is so worth it. read more

Forget everything you've been told: not Duff's, not Anchor Bar, but Nine-Eleven is home of the BEST wings in Buffalo! Hands down! I have tried wings elsewhere, and frankly I have been unimpressed. I have just never been wowed by them. I never understood why people get so crazy about wings. Then we went to Nine-Eleven. Unfortunate name, but woah. I get it now, folks, I really do. These wings were good sized, crispy, but not dry. You could taste the butter. The sauce, delish. I finally understood why people love wings so much. And the fries---you guys, I don't usually get excited about fries. They're one of those foods that I will probably pick at if placed in front of me, but won't go out of my way to specifically eat them. But these fries are amazing. A huge plate for under $4, and they are somehow infused with a delicious garlic flavor that had us wanting more. It's a small space, and when we walked in the majority of the tiny dining area was taken up by a large group celebrating a family birthday. They knew the waitress very well, and even though it took our order a little while to come out because of it, it gave the place a more friendly ambiance, like it was everyone's neighborhood spot. The waitress was nice and apologized for the wait in our orders, but she kept our waters and beers filled, so we didn't really mind. Bottom line, when I have visitors come from out of town, I'm bypassing all the other usual wing joints and driving to Nine-Eleven to introduce people to wings done right. read more

This is a bold move for me to give 5 Stars after my first visit, but my experience so faithfully lived up to my expectations that I think it is warranted. Nine-Eleven is what I imagine the Anchor Bar used to be...a friendly neighborhood bar in Buffalo that stumbled upon the best bar food ever. Nine-Eleven did not reinvent the wheel, but they put spinners on it. The wings and fries were amazing. The fries were thick cut and tasted pan fried, like mom used to make. They were seasoned with salt and garlic and could not have been better. The wings were crispy and presented beautifully on a platter. The sauce was deceptively hot. It was cut with real butter, garlic, maybe some kind of cheese? These additions gave the sauce a sweetness and richness that I haven't experienced in a wing sauce before and distracted me from the heat, which stung and lingered. My only complaint was that it made it hard to throw down a full ten, but this just means more to enjoy for lunch today. My favorite places have always been Duff's and the Gate, and I would place Nine-Eleven on par with either of those. The bar itself is divey but friendly. Our bartender was excellent and handled a full bar with easy. The decor is rich in Buffalo tradition and is appropriately rough around the edges. The beer and liquor selections are adequate. Flying Bison Aviator Red was a feature. This is not the place for wine, but neither is any other wing place. Definitely give this place a try and bring a few friends read more

Absolutely the best wings in Buffalo! So crispy and the perfect amount of saucy! This is the absolute definition of the Chicken wing and what it is suppose to be! Just remember hit the ATM before you go because it is cash only!!! The service is amazing and the atmosphere is more than Friendly! Buffalo truly is the city of good neighbors! read more

Probably one of the top chicken wings in the area. Amazing one of a kind sauce perfectly cooked. And the French frys are very good read more

Nine-Eleven Tavern - Pubs Near Me - Buffalo, New York

See all

Your in Buffalo. You ask me, Buffalo-born-and-raised, "where do I go for the best BUFFALO wings." I tell you Nine-Eleven. I've scoured the city in search of a place to top it. I can't. Their chicken wings are nearly always fried perfectly. And their sauce is the pinnacle of the famous Buffalo style. Pair the mild, medium or hot wings with the Finn Fries for a true taste of The Queen City. Cheers! read more

This place is fantastic! Cash only ! That's when you know it's gooood! :) I myself lovvve me some chicken wings. These chicken wings are so damn delicious! If I wasn't on a health kick I'd eat there every weekend! They have like a hint of garlic or something, same thing with the fries ! Yummm highly suggest you go! Only bad part is we had to wait like 45 mins , but hey it's good food! read more

My wife and I set out on a Friday night craving chicken wings at the highly acclaimed Nine-Eleven Tavern. We were not disappointed! The service gets FIVE stars. Dean, Ashley and Zach genuinely welcomed us in and we felt right at home with them. My wife and I LOVE dive bars and we will be back! We ordered medium wings, fries and beers. The wings were presented very nicely and reminded me of fine wine. They got better one after the other as they sat and "breathed" at the table. The fries on the other hand weren't as satisfying to me. They seemed a bit overcooked, yet dense. Interesting potato...Also, a bit too much salt and a tad too much garlic. The owner, Mark met us and was very kind. After chatting for a while, he came back from the kitchen with corned beef for us to taste.... STELLAR! It was the best corned beef I have ever eaten... Thank you Mark and Team. We can't wait to come back! read more

So, I loved this place. I really did. However, my last visit there, not so much. The fries that I raved about in my last review were lacking any crispness and tasted like they were cooked in old oil and the same goes for the oversauced wings. That being said, the place is super busy to the point that the waitress told us we were lucky to get there when we did (5pm on a Saturday) because by 530 there was a 2 hour wait for food. Yikes! read more

Finally went there after several recommendations. I'm underwhelmed. :( 3 stars for the wings, 2 stars for everything else. Let me preface this review by telling you I grew up in a middle class suburban family & my family owned a bar for several years. I spent a good part of my 20's & early 30's in local small-time "dive bars" so I am NOT a bar snob AT ALL. Usually prefer them to upscale places. But the food just wasn't that great, IMO. Hubby likes his wings hot - VERY hot. These were not hot enough for him - they were so mild that I was able to eat them without any difficulty, and I prefer mild/medium. My fingers were waaaaaay overdone & tasted like they had been fried in old oil. The fries were OK but tasted a bit odd to me - I thought it was old oil again, but later a friend pointed out that they put garlic in their fries so maybe that was it? Didn't taste like garlic to me though... Positive comments: The wings were very saucy & HUGE - love them this way. The flavor profile of the sauce was very good (the epitome of a "Buffalo" wing. Not hot enough for the hubby, but I liked the sauce.) Server was very nice. Patio was a nice surprise - would never have thought they had an outdoor seating area but they do. I'd go again to meet my friend while she's playing shuffleboard, or if I'm in the neighborhood & in the mood for big fat wings. But I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Don't expect fancy Don't expect trendy Go here with a smile and enjoy THE best wings in Buffalo. Send the tourists elsewhere ... if you want to know how it's really done this is the place. The corned beef sandwich is also among the best you'll find. Go around St. Patrick's day and get the corned beef dinner...... but I don't like cabbage .... Shut up, yes you do, once you've had Mark cook it. A top flight "dive"bar" run by great people. read more

Pretty easy place to find. Small bar right in South Buffalo. Is the area nice? Meh... Not really. But that's not why I'm here. I hear the wings are good so I thought I would give it a try. Draft list is interesting. Random collection of 7 beers. No labatt? I thought this was Buffalo?! Only have 3 sauces... Mild, medium, and hot. Is that scarce? Maybe. Surprising? Sure. Let's see if they back it up. Bucket of wings for 41 bucks? Sounds good to me! We grabbed a couple pitchers, a bucket of medium wings, and a huge plate of fries. Fries were great. Had a nice seasoning on them and are homemade. The wings were quite good and lived upto the hype. I like mine crispy and generally have to tell places to make sure they're crispy... but these were the perfect amount of crisp. The medium sauce lacked the heat, but I'm confident that the hot sauce would be fine (maybe even a little weak?). The wings were better than I thought, and featured some kind of seasoning on them that was a mix of garlic and parmesan cheese? When I asked the bartender what that seasoning was, he gave me a remark similar to "If I told you, I'd have to kill you." I respect that. Unlike a couple previous reviewers, I don't think they are at all like Duff's or Anchor Bar, partly because of that unique seasoning. Tab with 3 pitchers, a huge plate of fries, and a bucket of wings came to a little less than $100. I was fine with that price and I think it was worth it. This place has made my short list of favorite wings in Buffalo. read more

I absolutely love their wings. I went here for the first time last Fall when I moved to South Buffalo. I haven't been back since but, now that I think about it...I'm due for their wings! I remember the bartender was super nice and helpful. If I remember correctly I ordered fries and there were too many to finish. It seems like it's in a sketchy neighborhood but it's definitely worth the visit at least once. read more

There is only one place in Buffalo where I will order wings...and this is it! 911 on Bloomfield is the place to go to eat wings, raise a pint, and play some shuffleboard. The atmosphere is divey. The location, slightly off the beaten path...but not by much. The rewards...tasty! read more

I have been dying for these wings for the last 10 years and every time I have been back home visiting, I never had a chance to make it. This year, I did, and they are exactly how I remembered them, delicious; the best wings in the WNY area, IMHO. My family and I stopped in here around 5 PM this past Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised at how nicely they remodeled the bar area, as it has been years since I have been in here. We ordered a few beers and ordered 2 buckets of medium wings (100) from the bartender (I forget his name). We were told that we can only order 50 because the owner has strict rules about ordering the wings. I told him I was from out of town and have wanted these wings forever, we would wait, while waiting, we would order more beers, hence more $ for the bar. I was still turned down, which was VERY disappointing as the reasoning doesn't make sense. Anyway, we sat on their outside patio and drank beers. The patio was terrific as it was a gorgeous day out. The wings: GLORIOUS!! They were just as I remembered. The wings themselves were huge, meaty, and cooked perfectly. The sauce is completely unique with a nice spicy tang followed with very subtle sweetness. My only complaint is that we had hoped to be able to order more. I can't wait to go back! read more

I love to eat. It's my favorite past time. I rarely give bad reviews. There is usually a reason that restaurants grow in popularity and have rabid, loyal patrons. I have been to this place several times and CANNOT, for the life of me, figure out why anyone proudly boasts patronizing this establishment. Their wings are barely average, on their very best day. There is nothing that I can discern that makes them any different, or better, than any of the other places that serve chicken wings around the Buffalo area. I don't understand, unless they have a huge marketing department, how they ever became popular, aside from the sheep mentality locals tend to succumb to. I have no complaints about the cleanliness of the restaurant. It was clean. The bartender seemed nice, if you were a woman and he could flirt with you. The atmosphere is typical of any small, neighborhood bar, with a fluctuating crowd depending on the time of day and week. When it comes to the food, you can get better wings anywhere, including major chain pizza places. Save yourself the time, effort, and aggravation, while at the same time doing your taste buds an enormous favor, and get your wings someplace else. read more

After reading several yelp reviews and expecting to be greeted by Carla from Cheers, we decided to see what kind of abuse we could endure on a Friday evening. What a TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT! Bartender Paige was absolutely fun, attentive and delightful as was the waitress Ashley who contributed to the terrible time with her great conversation. Ugh! So our only chance for a horrible night was hanging on to the hope of an incredibly long wait time and terrible food. Once again, this place let us down. The food was delivered in a timely manner, hot and very tasty. The wings were incredibly flavorful and didn't taste like the normal hot sauce served everywhere. Hopefully our next trip will be much worse. read more

Last night we had a rare moment without kids and we wanted to do something fun. We've always heard about nine-eleven wings so it's been on our to do list for years. When we got there it was an hour and a half wait for wings which I don't know if it's their normal thing. Initially I was annoyed but I figured by the time I went somewhere else it would be equally as long. I'm so glad we waited! These were hands down the best wings I have ever had in my life! I would wait 5 hours for them (not really) I want these in my life everyday! read more

the nine eleven tavern is the best place for wings in Buffalo. lived down the street form them for nine years and regret never given this place a chance before. I have tried every single major competitor even the place in Buffalo they say invented the wings and the nine eleven tavern gives them all a knock out blow. read more

Nine-Eleven Tavern - 20 huge juicy wings from The Nine Eleven Tavern in So Buffalo NY... Best wings in All of Buffalo. - Pubs Near Me - Buffalo, New York

After debating for hours whether to go to Anchor Bar, Duff's or Gabriel's Gate, we decided to go here. It's our first time at Buffalo and we wanted to try the best buffalo wings. No need to try others. These are... The Best buffalo wings ever. The hot sauce can be hotter because I love really really hot wings. But they are still very delicious!! And their finn fries are sooo good, steaming hot from frying and super garlicy!! I would definitely come back. Our waitress was very nice and accomodating as well. One thing - cash only. Good thing we had some. read more

The wings are great! The fries taste like no other, definitely one of the best places for great tasting wings and fries!!!! But the bartender was an inappropriate. We decided to eat at the bar and we were talking amongst our group of 4'and someone in the group used a little profanity. Not Loud enough for others to hear but the bartender was making one of our drinks and said " can you Please not use that language, we have a family out back!" Oh yes, out back was out side, no one in the dining room and 4 others (all adults) at the bar, and the people at the bar didn't hear the profanity but they heard the moron try to reprimand us at the bar! Well, my Take is, there's a reason kids aren't aloud at the bar and to be 50' away and out doors, One might think the bartender (I was told the owner) was just trying to be an idiot. Do your self a favor, go to the hop inn in south Buffalo, or Bases loaded in Woodlawn. The service will match the taste of the wings...."great!" Don't come here, not worth the hassle! read more

Best wings hands down in Buffalo, you will not be disappointed! Make sure to try the fries too. The service is awesome and very atentive. If you go there and it's busy make sure you srick around, the food is worth the wait. read more

Nine-Eleven Tavern - Double order of hot wings and fries. - Pubs Near Me - Buffalo, New York

This is the place I love for the food and for the service and let me tell you why. Katherine has been my server both times that I've been to the Nine-Eleven Tavern. She's quick, witty and a lot of fun. She doesn't take herself too seriously and I love that. She is great with getting the drinks I order to me quickly, she'll tell fun stories and she'll make sure that you're having a great time. In terms of the speed of the food coming out, I am always prepared for a long wait for food here. I don't mean it in a bad way. I've been told both times that the wait for food would be an hour or longer but was told it was worth it. The wings are juicy, the sauce is sweet (has a little kick but not a lot for a medium sauce and that's the way I like it. The prices are great for what you're getting. The wings are the best I've had in Buffalo along with the Finn Fries. I have yet to have the wing dip because it has always been sold out when I come...which must mean good things! It's small, it's cozy, it's a dive and it's fun. Don't come here if you're in a rush, but make sure you come here! read more

My first visit and it becomes a top three for favorite places in WNY to get wings. Before I even took my first bite of these gloriously, sauced wings I was very pleased with the presentation. They are not just piled up like most wing joints, but plated very strategically with the celery nestled between the wings. They are fried to the perfect crispiness, and the home made sauce has almost a hot ketchup flavor. Sweet with a nice twang of hot. Next time I go back I must try the burgers, but I think I will at least get a single order of wings. read more

Nine-Eleven Tavern - Chicken wings hot with a Sam Adams Cold Snap - Pubs Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I will tell you the whole menu: Wings-mild, medium, hot Buffalo wing dip with tortilla chips Chicken Fingers-Plain, mild, medium, hot Burger- You can get bacon and American Cheese for $2.25 extra Corned Beef Sandwich- just corned beef and bread Pizza logs Seasoned Fries Potato Salad My party bought medium wings, burgers, fries, and the potato salad. The potato salad tastes like an 8 year old made them. The fries are okay. The burger tastes like it was bought in a box at Sam's Club and very well done; honestly, it didn't even taste like it was beef. The wings were cooked well; Moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside but the sauce really was just Frank's hot sauce with some garlic and butter thrown into it. I couldn't taste the chicken. The wait staff were a little rude and short with us. We ate outside which meant there were bees everywhere and our waitress just dismissed our worries. Never Again. read more

While visiting Buffalo for the first time this weekend, I was able to try the wings from a couple places. Got a few recommendations from a couple locals, and they agreed I had to go to 9-11 for their oversized wings, garlic fries, & corned beef. I have to say that I'm not a huge fan of hot wings to begin with, but in the last few years, I've come to appreciate them more. It was definitely worth the trip! We had a group of 8 (2 visitors & the rest locals)and ordered two double-orders of wings (40 pieces) for about $32, and they were arranged just like the pictures show...in a circle on with the celery sticks tucked in around them on the plate. It didn't take long for the wings to be gone...I ended up with 2 pieces. We probably should have ordered the 50 pieces, but oh well. The only reason I limited myself to 2 pieces was because I also had the corned beef (see info below). I am also not a huge fan of corned beef, but I do enjoy it once in a while, so I had to try it based on the recommendations. I expected deli-style thin slices, but I'd say it's almost 1/2" thick and fall-apart tender and very good. It was supposed to come with rye bread, but I requested a burger roll instead. Once I had the plate in front of me, I took off the top half of the roll & chose to eat the "sandwich" open-face style. The fries were short & thick & had a garlic-salt type of seasoning on them. I found them to be pretty tasty, but maybe not something I'd go out of my way for. In order to keep tasting the garlic, you should avoid the usual condiments (ketchup, vinegar, etc). Price was very reasonable at $8.25 for the plate. (You had the option of fries or potato salad.) The service was just okay. It was Saturday night around 9:30-ish, and there was not much going on at all when we got there. The waitress did not seem pleased to see us, and she was hesitant to seat us because she thought the crowd was going to show up any minute from the Sabres hockey game that had just ended a little bit before that. (There is a sign that requests to wait until everyone is there before being seated; we were waiting on 2 other people who showed up within 5 minutes.) She seemed to warm up a little bit over the course of the hour that we were there, but she didn't quite get my usual 20% minimum for tip. Incidentally, the hockey crowd never showed up. Note: if the bar is busy, you will not be able to order a to-go order over the phone. You will have to come in and order as if you were going to eat it there, and then ask for it to go after you get it. (Or so I'm told.) Also, I believe it is cash-only, so make sure you have enough green on you! read more

When in Buffalo...you have to have wings! I've been to the Anchor, so I was looking for something different. Since I was staying in West Seneca I wanted something relatively close. I took the advice of fellow Yelpers and tried out the 911 Tavern. From the outside, it looks like a seedy neighborhood bar and the inside looks the same way! It was a Tuesday night, so they were very slow. A couple regulars, a couple young couples and people coming in to pick up take out. I sat at the bar and ordered Medium Wings and their garlic-seasoned FF. Medium had a little heat, so if you like your wings spicey then order the Hot. The flavor and sauce heat were perfect for me. I think you can also order them Double-Hot. These were the best wings I have eaten. Breading was very crisp, temperature & flavor of sauce were to my liking and the wings were meaty. I would have given them 5 stars, but the bartender wasn'y very friendly. He was attentive, just not very talkative. However, had fun talking to the "locals". If you're not staying downtown, but still want some wings, then definitely try out the 911 tavern. read more

Best wings in buffalo!! The medium is like no other sauce you have ever tried its simply amazing!! They have fresh cut fries with a delicious garlic flavor and out of this world chicken wing dip made with the sauce they use on the wings!! We frequent there quite often and love the servers!! read more

See all

These are some of the best wings I've ever had. Crispy on the outside and very tender and juicy inside. The sauce is excellent - good kick but without just trying to be obscenely hot just for the sake of trying to get on one of Guy Fieri's dumb TV shows. The sauce has great flavor that is definitely home made. I see a few reviews here with major complaints about service - I have to say I've been twice in last 6 weeks on a Friday and the service has been great - very friendly and attentive.
