So I've only been once but... My mom and I are from NY and we sometimes crave the food category of super-simple-reliably-satisfying-reasonably-affordable American diner food. It's nostalgic and satisfying. I've passed by this place probably hundreds of times and I never once considered going in and trying their food. I have never liked fast food fried chicken. Ever. Today my mom and I peeked in here randomly and she immediately jumped on ordering the BLT on rye (which she loved!). I ordered the gyro and fries but the owner misheard me and I instead got what tasted like homemade potato chips. They were not the slightest bit greasy warm out of the oven and some were a little soft and others were very crispy so it tasted homemade. I needed salt/pepper and then they were perfect. Although my gyro didn't have a lot of meat, the lettuce and veggies on top were abundant and super fresh! I ate it with a fork like a salad, light on the meat. With the yummy light dressing it came with, it was the perfect dinner for me tonight. I feel sated and that it was pretty healthy. They also had a bunch of traditional sandwiches on their menu like a Philly cheeseteak, jalapeño and avocado burger, fish and chips, etc. So, now that I've broken the seal and realize you don't have to get fried chicken when you come here, I will be trying all the above over the next few months whenever I get that diner food itch. I'm thinking maybe a post hike Mexican burger on Sunday. ****Regulars here, please DM me ideas for what to order. I read at least two three star reviews of this place that complained about the service and then had to admit their food was bomb. Lol! read more

Very expensive "combos" that don't include drinks. Workers are rude and place does not look very clean.

Always been fire!! I would pay with coins in middle school just so i could eat some good food

The wings were excellent. I had the buffalo and is was just right. The service was very well. The place was very clean. I'm definitely coming back read more

Went here on Saturday. I have been to the one in Petaluma so I thought I'd give it a try. I got a double dozen wings half Korean bbq and Buffalo. They were pretty good. They were a little over cooked but pretty good with the sauce. It was such a busy night for them. I have to say the ladies working there were working so hard to get all the orders out. I haven't seen people work that hard in a restaurant in awhile. They were awesome. I'd definitely come back again! read more

A terrible place to go and spend your hard earn money ! The chicken wings are over cooked ! Tried out ! And when I tried to get a new order , they didn't want to replace the order ! And called the owner of that wing store and they hung up on me ! Without hereing me out. DONT GO TO THIS PLACE ! I WARNED YOU ! read more

Picked up a to go order, drove two exits and what a mess that bag made in my car!! The fries were not even half a bag. The chicken was okay, but, clearly lacking sauce because it leaked in my car, on the sidewalk when the bottom fell out of the bag. I had to leave it outside and get a plate to carry it in. $17 - not worth it. read more

I don't like giving poor reviews, so let's start with the good. The service was fast and friendly. Now for the bad. The food is way over cooked and flavorless. Sadly, that was $50 wasted. I wish I could say better, but in truthfulness, I cannot. read more

The place, the food presentation and the taste--disgusting. Make your own!! So easy and they make it look like s**t!

Satisfies a wings craving but a somewhat dilapidated location and pretty oily wings. Super friendly staff - seems like maybe a family business - so hope they do well. Had the double dozen, half spicy and half mild. We shared and the wings were basically submerged in a sauce soup. Ranch was fine. Drink selection is somewhat limited. read more

Been here a few times. Decent flavor of burgers, I like the fries over the chips. The last burger I had was a little dry. Leaner meat or just over cooked. The salt on the table needed a few rice grains in it to keep from be coming a solid lump and not coming out. We borrowed one from another table. A guy had to borrow the ketchup from us. Limited condiments. They had some what I think they were trying to pass off as dessert in a small refrigerator. The flan looked half melted and just disgusting. You have your option of canned beverage or fountain which they end up being the same size after you add ice. Parking can be kind of hairy as the shopping center has quite a few shops and other small restaurants in it. read more

I hate to leave a one star review for a restaurant - when I have THAT bad an experience I prefer to contact the owner and discuss the problem with them first. However, in this case their web page no longer exists, which in itself is a red flag. We have had lunch here on many occasions. OK, the wings are not the biggest you've ever seen, but since we like the staff, who are very accommodating, we overlook the little things (pun intended). Today, we came for lunch about 12:30. The place was busy, but there was a table open and we took it. We placed our wing order, sat down and in less than 10 minutes our order of a dozen wings with fries was delivered. First, the wings were tepid at best. Since we hadn't been in the restaurant long enough for them to cool down, that meant they had been precooked, and the kitchen just poured some (cold) sauce over them and tossed them. The result was unappetizing to say the least. Then there were the veggies. The celery sticks were marginally OK, however the baby carrots served with ranch were so stale that they were mottled and soft. I will post a photo on my check-in so you can see for yourself, but when carrots look like that in MY fridge, I don't think twice, they go in the compost pile. Sadly, since management has left no way to contact them directly, I have to turn to Yelp and share this pretty awful experience. I don't think we'll be back there, as much as we used to like the place. read more

Way over priced food. The chicken wings where super dry and burnt. I asked for complementary buffalo and ranch sauce to cover it up, which they wanted to charge me an additional $8.00 for the sauce that is placed in a small plastic cup. However they did give free ketchup. Makes absolutely no sense!!! Land the plane Horhay! read more

This restaurant has good food. We have been going there for a long time. I don't like the parking situation, but the people in the chicken restaurant are nice read more

Been coming for years. The key is to order your wings "crispy". Hit the spot tonight. Thank you OBW.

The food is so delish. The wings are to die for . I would recommend going there . The owner is really nice and it gives homey vibes

3 stars food was good and all but there is no pricing on the menu that's on the wall and the girl up front did not know either, she had to keep going to the back to ask. This sauce is soooo good the best Buffalo wing sauce I've ever had read more

If I could give ZERO stars, I would! We have been staying at the hotel down the street from this place and we noticed it when we got here. My boyfriend and I picked up a menu just in case we ever needed some food delivered, since the menus states that they deliver. A couple of days after we finally picked up the menu and gave them a call, let me summarize quickly what went wrong... 1. I was on hold for 30 minutes, the only way I got successful again was by hanging up and calling again. 2. The menu has a couple of coupons, we decided to use them, they explained that they were expired a year ago. 3. They actually don't deliver, unless they are not busy or if it's Sunday or at night. I was very confused by all these answers lol 4. Waited 20 more minutes when I drove to pick up my food, even though I waited 25 minutes to even get up and go pick it up. 5. We ordered drum only, which he even repeated three times what I said. When I got home, I had wing only, which were not appetizing. The wings were hard and very small, a couple of them looked weird, mostly bone. I would't go back unless there was improvement. Starting by updating the menu, with the most current information of delivery and specials. Change the name to Burger Restaurant, because if I had one good thing from this whole experience was the Mexican Burger. The wings need to ACTUALLY have buffalo sauce, not vinegar mixed with hot sauce. The staff was nice, if anything it looks like they were understaffed with the cook being the same guy who was charging. This place has a big potential of being successful because of where they are located, but they are missing the opportunity if they don't listen to feedback. read more

Original Buffalo Wings Restaurant - The wings were swimming in hot sauce. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Novato, California

For going her for somewhere around twenty years I have seen the ownership change hands. And sadly it always seems to be less and less a good thing. The food is still good and the nostalgia is there but something seems amiss. The dining area itself is looking worn out. It could use a little brightening. The service is ok for a quick serve joint. I do recommend getting the fries or the chips. And if you are going for wings they tend to be on the smaller size, so get a double dozen. read more

I love Buffalo Wings and Burger Mexican and chips I really love it and I always eat it when I can

I was watching the show "Hot Ones" and had the urge to get some buffalo wings. I knew about this location and always have a terrible experience when I order from this place but against my good judgment I picked up the phone, dialed the number called and was hung up on the minute I asked what quantities the wings came in. I give up! Never again will I waste my time and energy with this location. read more

I tried lunch at this place to ease the chicken wing craving I was having. Out of the 6 pieces I only managed to eat 3. The sauce had a weird look to it. It's hard to explain, but basically it looked like salad dressing mixed with hot sauce, and it tasted exactly how it looked. The wings were either over cooked or had freezer burn because it hurt my teeth to chew. I hope the other food items on their menu are better but I will not be testing them myself. read more

Original Buffalo Wings Restaurant - Weird sauce - Chicken Wings Near Me - Novato, California

Before I review this restaurant, has anyone ever had a buffalo wing? I mean really had one. There is nothing like it, the look, the smell, the feel, the taste, and the aftermath. It's a science not only for the buffalos but the wings itself. You just know that nothing else on this planet can top a buffalo wing. It's written in the starry skies where the buffalo flies, wings that is. Since this place does not serve true buffalo wings other than by name, I can only review the so called wings they did served which was an emphatic thumbs down since freezer burn wingy are not meant to be consumed unless forced. Impossible? just improbable, so never again. read more

Let me start by saying that if it weren't for the amazing Philly Cheese Steak sandwich and great food I would be giving this restaurant ZERO stars. Their employees are extremely rude and to say they are lacking customer service skills would be a SEVERE understatement. Working in an office building we order from restaurants in our area regularly and it can add up to be quite a large bill. We have ordered from this restaurant 3 separate times. Each time all of the orders were incorrect, things were missing from the order and completely forgotten and when this was brought to the attention of the supervisor on duty it was made out to be OUR fault. It is clear they do not work under the philosophy "the customer is always right". When they came the third time with our delivery, the entire order was wrong and they had left out much of what we had paid for. Because of the huge mistake we requested a discount on our meals which was immediately refused. On top of the refusal the person who delivered to us was not polite, did not apologize for the inconvenience and told us we could either take what they gave us or he would just take it back. There was no resolve and no manager on duty to ask for additional assistance. I would NEVER recommend going to Buffalo Wings and would be more than happy to suggest anywhere else for an enjoyable meal and experience. read more

dirty restaurant. spicy hot wings that are REALLY spicy. actually too hot to eat. but they were nice enough to give me a batch of regular hot wings as a replacement, seeing that I was near death after one spicy hot wing. grilled chicken sandwich that was only passable. if this place were graded like a student, I'd give it a C- lots of improvement needed to make it to the next level. read more

2 for the food- 3 because of the service. The kids wanted wings so we decided to try it out. We arrived around 7:30 and there were a few people eating- we ordered wings - spicy and mild, French fries, a burger, a gyro with chicken and deep fried zucchini sticks. The wings were smothered in sauce and were very spicy. There was literally 2 inches of such left in the paper bowl! The wings were small in size and very dry. The flavor of the sauce was good not great. The zucchini was very good and I would order these again. The burger was just OK- probably shouldn't order a burger at a wing place. It was nothing to write home about. The chicken gyro was very bland although had fresh ingredients. There was no tzitziki sauce - it was some type of white cream goop. The portion was good. The staff was very friendly and helpful so this is a plus. I wish I could give it a higher rating..but I just can't. The place is dated but fairly clean and there is ample parking. Oh yeah... You can watch wrestling as you eat ! ( oh boy) read more

This place is god awful!!! DO NOT EAT HERE. The food is way over priced and just plain sucks. My girlfriend ordered some chicken tenders and she got some half assed chicken tenders. The "checken tenders" were just cut up chicken breast dipped and covered with buffalo sauce. They were not battered, fried, or in anyway resembling of normal chicken tenders. Bottom line, save yourself the trip, cost, and agony of eating here. Go anywhere else. read more

Not clean. Food Godawful. Service so inferior it bordered on comical. Frozen everything. Have I mentioned that both the dining room and the kitchen were visibly filthy? Did I emphasize just how bad the food tasted? The good news is it was lunchtime and they only had one customer so maybe they'll soon close and be replaced by something else. **Edit: OK, I was eating their hamburger when I posted, but then I found quite literally a chunk of bacon fat that was roughly 1 1/2 inches long and almost 1/2 an inch thick. See profile picture. read more

Eh. The coworkers wanted to go here. I guess the buffalo wings were good when they came last time. I got a chicken sandwich with fries and a drink. It was pretty messy and kind of mediocre, especially for $8. No thanks. read more

A lot of people I know have picked up to-go wings from here and I thought they were good.. however eating in wasn't as fulfilling. The regular hot wings were okay, but seemed a little dry. I also had fries instead of chips, which I would have probably liked better. The decor was a little tacky and the place just seemed a little sad. Both stars go to the "waiter" who brought out napkins AND two cups of water without me asking, which I really appreciated! read more

Quite possibly the worst wings I've spent money on. No a realistic sized wing out of a two dozen wing order. Real bad.

First and only time we went there, the wings were totally overcooked! Hard as a rock. What a bummer....... I can make better wings than they do! Novato really has some shitty restaurants! read more

This place was great several years ago. Then they must have changed ownership and the quality went way down. I still have friends that eat here (delivery) but I am never going back. Been burned there more than once since things changed. Too bad, it used to be alot better. Try the one in San Rafael or SF instead. read more

Why on gods green earth is this business not open on football sundays??! I used to get this every Sunday and I love the wings. Seems like they really stopped caring read more

Love this place! Seems not well kept but the food is awesome. I always get the buffalo wings and fries and I get cravings for them all the time! Highly recommend the Philly cheese steak and The teriyaki sandwich as well read more

OK so I called to order food To pick up on my way home from work . The lady who answered the phone did not speak English she proceeded to talk to me in Spanish and got angry with me when I couldn't communicate with her as I am American and do not speak fluent Spanish She started calling me names that I knew were inappropriate and that is about the extent of my Spanish.So I proceeded to call her The bad names that I knew in Spanish this upset her tremendously . Then was appropriately hung up on I received a few more calls with the same name calling . I have to admit childishly I proceeded to call them back One time Not wanting to continue this stupid behavior I really wanted to talk to the manager not continue this stupid name calling The gentleman that answered the phone Asked me if I wanted to come down there and get my fucking ass know kicked They had already tagged my phone number so he knew who was calling . After I hung up he proceeded to call me back at least five or six times calling me every name in the book And said if I kept calling that he would call the police on me give them my phone number even though they called me . I have since blocked their phone number Also I wanted to do was order for takeout on my way home because it was convenient I haven't been there in over 10 years I thought I would give them another chance since the last time I went there there were mice running around the floor in the kitchen hadn't been cleaned in weeks and there are cockroaches crawling on the walls. Are you by th also I wanted to do was order takeout on my way home because it was convenient I haven't been there in over 10 years I thought I would give them another chance since the last time I went there there were mice running around the floor and the kitchen hadn't been cleaned in weeks and there are cockroaches crawling on the walls . My burger tasted rancid the lettuce was wilted and all the tomato had been out for maybe a few days I looked at it it took a bite and spit it out and tried to get a refund . So I was suggest everybody go to San Rafael San Francisco or Petaluma stay away from Novato original buffalo wings read more

I ordered the spicy buffalo dozen expecting some real spicy wings coming my way. Boy was I right. The wings were real spicy, but they were also really dry and when I took my first bite it seemed like they just went through a cycle in the microwave. They were hot on the outside but when I bit into the core of the wing, i was surprised that it was barely warm. It was weird to eat for sure, and I guess this place isn't as good as I remember. Oh yeah, the celery was a little wilted and the so called bleu cheese dressing that came with it was neither dressing or bleu cheese. It was mish mash of ingredients that gave it the texture of dressing but tasted like nothing, literally. read more

extra crispy lemon pepper & buffalo is the way to go highly recommended got the double dozen for 38.99 not too pricy

Love the wings everything else was ok. Baby carrots instead of freshly peeled and cut. Salad was like any salad you can make at home. Fish and chips plate smelt really fishy. read more

Absolutely horrible service messed my order up 3 times in one delivery just outrageous have been going here for five years idk what changed recently but it not for any good what's so ever read more
