    I would give a 0 star if I could but anyway super rude took almost 30 mins just to get 10 wings

    Came here to grab lunch on a Friday afternoon and this place definitely hit the spot. Got a shake that was thick, delicious, and filling. First time here and the lady in the front made recommendations based on my liking and she mentioned the pineapple jalapeño chicken and it was a home run. Plenty of seating inside and they have TVs which were showing sport highlights. Good spot for lunch will definitely be back.

    The Buffalo Spot, South Gate, CA 1/23/22... very hot was flavorful. Go hotter if you need a real kick, though.

    OVERALL The Buffalo Spot in the humble little South Gate, CA, has decent game day mood food. RATING BREAKDOWN | Food: 4 | Service: 5 | Environment: 4 | Price: 4 | PARKING It's in a plaza with a few other eateries nearby. Free parking. Just be careful. The area can be a bit congested with the 710 freeway ramps just up the street. LOCATION/AMBIANCE This Spot sits across from ALDI. The indoor eating space is limited, however, it was clean. They had both NFL divisional playoff games playing they day I was in (1/23/22). I am glad they let those boys play without COVID face masks on... THE GRUB Large buffalo fries $13.78 (tax included). "Very hot" was still flavorful. No grisly pieces of chicken, thank you! The fries were hot, but not as crispy as I would have liked. Next time, I would go hotter for a real kick, though. Someone on Instagram told me to try mango habanero. We'll see... SERVICE The young lady who helped me was welcoming, helpful and communicative with all the customers. MY FAVORITE PART... Chicken smothered in buffalo sauce... NOT SO FAVORITE PART... Very hot was not "very" hot to me. Thanks, Dad, for starting me out on spicy foods before I could even walk. Lol. TIP Online ordering is available, but they're pretty fast for in-person orders. #TheBuffaloSpot #BuffaloFries #SouthGateCA #GreaterLARestaurants #jenniinsocal #YelpLA #ChickenShop

    Wanted to show the time he helped. I also asked one of the girls there for his name .

    I called at 9:00 pm to place my order since I know this location closes at 10 , I just wanted to stop by pay for my food and go. However a guy answered didn't even greet me over the phone and just said if I could hold so I said yes he had me on hold for a while so I hung up and called again thinking he maybe forgot or was busy however just the way he answered was in such a rude manner. when I called it seemed like the phone was disconnected so I hung up and called again a few minutes later the same guy answered with attitude I placed my order and headed to the store . When I got there I was greeted the same way as when he answered the phone . I wasn't sure it was him until he spoke and was rolling his eyes when I was paying for my meal . Seems like Ivan A. Didn't really want to be there as he also was the same with every customer that came after . I paid for 4 extra sauces and he just kind of put them on the counter in a rude manner . It looks like he just didn't want to be there which I get it but still . It's not the way to treat customers over the phone or in store . He was literally avoiding the register at all cost . I come here frequently and everyone is nice . I don't know what up his ass to be that rude . It seems like his coworkers were upset with him too because they just kept looking over and looked bothered by the way he was acting .

    Try their peppermint chip shake ($5) full of festive vibes. Mint chocolate topping is super lovely and you get a little sweet candy cane too. My favorite savory item here is buffalo fries ($10/REG). OMG The chicken portion is VERY generous! I went for mango habanero and original bbq flavors - extremely nice. Try also boneless wings ($9/5pcs), these lovely & super tender and juicy little wings will make you happy. IIRC you can get 60c/pc on Tuesday. I love garlic parmesan flavor on this menu. You get some parmesan sprinkled on top of the chickens! They also have A LOT of variety of soft drinks too! And do check out the sauces - they go really well with the burger.

    Out of all the Buffalo spot locations I have tried, this one would be in last place. I was only able to eat the top of my plate because the bottom was drenched and dripping in oil, yes im aware this is greasy and fatty food but this is unacceptable. I picked up a fry and it was dripping oil. I ended up throwing away the whole bottom part which was like half. The service is good and they have kiosks to order yourself. The ambiance I would say is family friendly but one of the tv screens shows music videos and something inappropriate might come up but I think it's fine.

I was in the area and I've never had a cute coffee with the latte art (so many of my friends are going to roast me for this) When I pulled up -nice private parking -a staff member was outside painting on the windows with the cutest window art. The girl had talent! This place has also given back. They helped with the LA fires last year. So bonus points for places who give back. (They gave back to the Pasadena humane society) There was a pretty big line and it was pretty loud in here, but it went by very fast. My friend grabbed a table while I placed the order. -they do have a good amount of seating. The place is pretty small though. So we sat for a minute after our drinks came out and then decided to take it to go -they have latte art that changes every month. So I like they have some rotating options. It was my turn and I ordered two sugar free mocha iced coffees. One with regular foam, And mine had strawberry foam. When I told Matthew at the counter it was really important the one drink be as sugar free as possible due to my friend being diabetic, he warned us there was sugar in the foam, but he would go as light as possible. So I appreciate him warning us and taking it serious. I picked the new hello kitty art of the month (hello kitty in a bathing suit with waves and dolphins) And my friend picked from the new monthly latte art as well, and got the Kirby character Even though it was busy, it took probably 2 minutes for our drinks to be made Matthew was absolutely great. His energy, he had a smile on his face, was knowledgeable about the menu, Matthew was everything you'd want in a staff member. Just like any coffee place, you pay and give them a name for your order, and then they call your name and you pick up your coffee at the counter. These drinks hit the spot!!! It was very trendy. They had Sabrina carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo specials and they even had a Lana Del Rey latte (cinnamon girl, named after her song) only thing that bummed me out They had a case with delicious pastries. But since I came here later in the day, they only had a couple stragglers left behind -they open at 7 am, for everyone needing their morning coffee -vegan options -free WiFi -woman owned -LGBTQ owned -they give back to the community

I had placed an online order for 3:25 so I could run in and grab food on my way to an appointment, as I arrived I wasn't greeted nor was my food ready. I ended up waiting an extra 15 min while 2 other customer were able to get their mobile orders promptly. I ended being late thanks to this inconvenience. The customer service was awful as I grabbed my order the team member proceeded to slam my food on the counter and offer no greeting or even eye contact. She seemed irritated that I could barely hear my name being called over the extra loud sound of music in the restaurant. Definitely won't be coming back here anymore as the mobile order option is pointless and the workers who won't even greet nor want to help you out have sealed the deal.

The garlic fries were really good, and the nachos were nice and saucy. The rice that came with the dinner plate, however, was overcooked and mushy. Overall, a decent experience with a few standout items.
