The food was absolutely amazing I love the chicken and the mac and cheese was outstanding! The service was spectacular considering our large group. Will definitely go back! read more

Went here b/c I heard a lot of good things about the place. Excited to come in, we happened to show up during a trivia night. While we had no intentions of playing, it was fine. At first, the hostess said they were full inside but had a few seats outside. The weather was nice so we figured, sure. When we came outside, there were two other people that looked defeated. I asked how long they had been sitting there and one guy said 20 minutes, the other said 10. The whole time and no one had been there to even greet them. It was at this point, I knew we were doomed... but I never expected what actually happened. Eventually, a server comes out. He greets the other two folks then looks us and straight up ignores us. Look, ignore, and keep walking. Thinking that maybe he's just busy we chilled some and waited... nope... gave them water and still continued to ignore us. After THREE more times of this waiter ignoring us, we decided to go to the hostess for alternate seating. While there at the front, I was so infuriated that I told 3 other customer waiting in line our experience and insisted they enter at their own risk. They left. While we did get another seat with a waitress that was very amenable, the service from everyone else was just lackluster as heck. Overall, if you're just struggling for wings, sure... hit this place up. However, if you want an actual decent experience b/c of how much the cost of nights are... I'd advise pass. Food Taste: 4 Overall Service: 1 then a 4 (see review) Value of service to cost: 4 Facility: 4 Ambiance: Local dive that fits the school. Repeat customer: meh... doubt it Dog Friendly: maybe outside? read more

Service was fast and pleasant. It's loud inside and the game was on. We ordered appetizers from the happy hour menu and for $6 each. Drink specials were very cheap for drafts and wells. Crushes and margaritas a couple dollars more. Meals come with a side for the most part. They're known for their wings and can be wet or dry rubs. I didn't like the Mac and cheese and it was a premium side. It was sooooo greasy and somehow not covered in cheese at all. Amateur hour with that one. The wings were amazing so if I come back it will be for that and just stick to the standard fries. Extra ranch and carrots and celery aren't included. read more

The server was sweet and took her time regardless of how busy they were. The food was not good. The buffalo caesar salad had warm wilted lettuce and I couldn't eat it. The poor man's wings came out with no blue cheese so as I waited for that for ten minutes, they got cold. My kids meal came out with no side of Mac and no ranch. my other kids meal had cheesy broccoli, but no cheese. If other servers are running food, it's common knowledge that one should ask "how does everything look at first glance?" then once confirmed that all is well or that something is needed, either go get it and bring it to the table or let the server know. If you are truly that deep in the weeds, set the food down and say your server will be over in a minute to check on you, then let the server know the food has been dropped off. Also, read the ticket before you leave the kitchen. Check the tray. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the food was rang in properly, the issue was the lack of attention on the way out. read more

Another year, another great review for The Dirty Buffalo! It still remains a favorite for our family. DBuff is always on the list of places my kids request when they are home from college. Service on this occasion was great, wings were fantastic, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. read more

I've heard such amazing things about the Dirty Buffalo, but I've never been in the 8 years I've been in the Tidewater area during and after my time at ODU. I do not recommend getting the macaroni, it was flavorless. The bone in all flat wings I got were cooked amazingly, but I don't think my server got my Cajun buffalo sauce right. It wasn't Cajun or buffalo..it was very sweet so I did not like them. I took them home with me and tried to dress it up some, but sweet is just not for me. Besides this, the food & the service were great! I look forward to my next opportunity to go here and try some other sauces!! Also, we went after the homecoming game & though it was a little busy, the service was still fast! read more

I was looking for a hot wings place since my favorite spot, Hot Wings Inc, in Portsmouth retired. I could not be happier with trying The Dirty Buffalo. I tried 3 sauces and 1 dry rub. The sauces I ordered are the following: Ruffalo: tasty dry rub {this is keto} Extra Hot: tasty sauce (heat level: 3-4/10) {this is keto} Stupid Dumb: one of my favorites (heat level 5-6/10) {this is keto} Dumb Dumb: my favorite thus far being that I'm a hot/spicy seeker (heat level 7-9/10) {this is keto} The food was hot and fresh even though I live 20-25 minutes away, I opened the takeout container and it was still steaming. I will be a constant and consistent regular for The Dirty Buffalo. Message for Dirty Buffalo! I'm a videographer first and photographer second. I'd love to work with you guys to do videos or skits and even take photos for you guys if needed or wanted. Ig: @insightfoolmedia read more

I originally had take out from The Dirty Buffalo and enjoyed it. Brought my husband for our first dine in experience and we absolutely enjoyed everything we ordered. The garlic parm pretzels were delicious, the fried pickles had the right amount of crispy, and the wings, and burger were so flavorful. My husband loved the various sauces. Above all, the waiter Andew is a diamond in the ruff for waitstaff. Everyone should be trained by him. His thoughtfulness, spot on timing with refills and checking in with the table, cordialness in conversation, and willingness to get to know his customers, share background to the menu and items, and also offer up some of his history and background which was admirable and very interesting to learn about. read more

Good watering hole. And I think they have good wings based on the ones I saw eating them. I just stopped by for a beer and some football and Cruella Deville served me. Nice and cool costume and good service. Ambiance is a sports bar with decent bar food. read more

My wings were fried to perfection and extremely saucy. I got all flats they were great. I also got chili cheese fries they were really good as well. I got everything to go so it was nice that they went ahead and put the cheese on the side and chili on the side so the fries weren't soggy by the time I got home. I was greeted upon entering and from what I saw the establishment was very clean. The prices were reasonable too cheapest I've seen in a long time but quality! Definitely will be back! read more

The Dirty Buffalo - Buffalo Caesar salad was what it was suppose to be. No Buffalo and no Caesar so not worth $15. Requested refund. Let's see how this goes. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Solid wing spot right by ODU. Not the greatest wings you'll ever have, but good wings. Would definitely recommend to stop by, especially ok trivia night when you can wing some gift cards. The Mac n cheese bowls with wings is excellent, definitely go in on that. Fur wing sauces, probably my favorites were the hot honey/old bay, which always hits, and the buffalo, which is a buffalo and jerk style wing. read more

The food was mid, the mac and cheese was bland, cold and cheese was hard. Gluten free menu has cross contamination and after ordering a salad with no croutons because it has gluten, we were given croutons and rude service when explaining why we didn't want it. Kayla our server was very off the entire time and honestly could have handled the situation better. I recommend b-dubs before this place. Fried pickles were good tho read more

As a native Buffalonian... I can say this place is pretty good. They make some decent wings, closest you can get to Buffalo. Service is good and atmosphere is good.. although if we were in Buffalo.. there would be WAY more #billsmafia merch on full display. Just saying. read more

This was my first time visiting The Dirty Buffalo after hearing so many great things from friends, and I was genuinely excited to try it out. The wings were delicious and the fries were just as good. Unfortunately, the service really tainted the experience. Our server, Reagan, was noticeably rude to our table--dropping food without a word and showing a clear attitude--while being friendly and attentive to everyone else around us. It felt dismissive and uncomfortable. I'm leaving 2 stars since the food was great, but the way we were treated made it hard to enjoy. Maybe a better idea to just order takeout. Not sure if I'd return again after this encounter. read more

My boyfriend has been hyping up the Dirty Buffalo for months. He use to come to this restaurant all the time in college. He recommended the dirty chick, their signature dish which has been highlighted by the Food network. It did not live up to the hype, the chicken was over cooked and the Mac and cheese was dry. read more

I thought the strawbanero were one of the better flavors out of all the wing places I've been to so far. It is unique to dirty buffalo and it's a good combination between sweet and spicy. I don't think it is that spicy, but it has a good kick to it. The buffalo sauce and spicy garlic parmesan was decent, but I thought it was too salty. Like other wing places, it is a great place to drink beer and eat wings with da boyz and watch football during football season. It gets very crowded during playoffs, so getting there a little earlier is the key. There are a good amount of parking spots available in the lot, but carpooling is a better option during these times. read more

The hostess hustled to get us the table as soon as the people left. She was working hard yet polite and friendly. The server we had was Isaiah. He was so personable and knowledgeable of the menu. It was our first time so he walked us through the menu. The place was busy but we received our wings in a timely manner. The wings were cooked to perfection, meaty and juicy - nice and crispy with no batter. The rub was good - not too much or too little. Even though it was busy there was parking right up front. read more

Update: I went on a Sunday mid-morning to watch the Bills v Miami game, and the service from everyone was phenomenal (#GoBills). Our server was Javier, and to be honest, he was one of the best servers I've ever had anywhere. In the future when I go, I'm gonna see if he's working and only sit in his section. He's thorough, a good conversation, and so willing to make your experience a good one. My dad had never been here before, and he loved every single thing we ordered. From the bingo half off apps for all day Sunday happy hour, to his wings & Labatt on draft. This will definitely be our go to spot when watching the game in the future when we need a spot! Cool crowd (minus the eagles fans- JK!). read more

When you come here , come with a HUGE appetite!! Each time we have visited the amount of food has been CONSISTENT! Large portions, fresh, unique flavors and wonderful service! So many options you can eat something different every time! Prices are reasonable for the quality of food. I got 10 pc with a side of Macaroni salad (quite possibly my favorite macaroni salad I've ever had) with 2 different flavors of wings and celery and carrots and choice of ranch or blue cheese for 17.99$ - suck on that Buffalo Wild Wings!

Food was decent, as always. Service was AWFUL. Took almost 30 minutes for someone to approach even for my drink order. Ordered meal the same time. People who arrived after me were eating by the time I was first approached. The person who seated me was the one to come up, as they seated 2 men next to me. He said he would notify my server, who arrived close to 10 minutes later, after bussing a table near me and taking the order of the 2 guys just seated. Server said someone else was to serve me, but they would take care of me. Sorry, but that particular server was serving ever table by me. Didn't believe them at all. There was no other server for that row. It was not a busy night. It took another 20 minutes to get wings and tots. The 2 men were finishing up when my food came out. From start to finish bad service. Honestly, I would have expected my soda or something to be comped. I tipped anyhow in CASE server wasn't lying, but feel as if I really should have just paid for my meal. Not worth coming back. I can get wings somewhere else. read more

Wow! We were watching Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives one day and The Dirty Buffalo aired and we thought it sounded incredible, so I listed it to my DDD list. Never knowing, when or if we'd ever be in Virginia Beach, living the Midwest. Fast forward a few years and we start planning a trip to the Outer Banks and The Dirty Buffalo was on my list. We couldn't wait to go, reviewed the menu and planned lunch on our way to the beach! First customers in the door for lunch on Sunday morning, we were greeted by friendly people with smiling faces! We ordered beer, soda and fried pickles while we looked at the menu. How can you not try The Dirty Chick? We ordered ours as a single with mild sauce and we loved it!! Chicken tender with mild sauce, delicious Mac and Cheese and home fries. So incredible! The beer selection was amazing and we enjoyed ice cold drafts from New York! The fried pickles were yummy and we waited for our wings. We sampled sweet BBQ, medium, spicy BBQ, spicy garlic parm and spicy garlic ranch. Soooo good! We already can't wait to return and are trying to figure out how to stop in a week when we leave the beach...it's that good!! Excellent service, excellent people, excellent food! read more

Look, I still like Dirty Buffalo but as I've become more of a "regular," I've noticed some things that bother me. Please note the positive things I do say in my previous review still stand but I can't help but notice the lighting in this location is harsh. I also am bothered that on their "bottomless boneless" night on Thursdays, any subsequent order after your first comes as not only a smaller portion but a different quality and type of wing/nugget. They are more like "popcorn" nuggets where the majority of the bite is just breading without much chicken. Just serve me a smaller portion but don't lower the quality of chicken! Service remains great at this location. read more

One of the best gems in Norfolk! So many different flavors to satisfy your taste buds. If you're like me and love to experiment on the wild side of flavors, then you'll love being able to mix up flavors, to make it your own. Hey, you may even make the next big flavor! Service here is always great. If it's wing night or football season, you may have a wait but it's well worth it. read more

Stopped here to watch some sports and get some food. They have quite a few beers in drat. Large dining area and bar. We got boneless wings and cheese curds. They were average, but they do have lots of sauces to choose from. The food took a little longer than expecting since it wasn't that busy. The service was nice and quick though. I would come back to get some bar food and watch a game as they have multiple TVs! read more

Casey behind the bar is fantastic! I'll be back every week! Great Servive terrific personality!!!

I've dined at this Dirty Buffalo a handful of times. I've mostly come in during football season - it is quite the experience. Food is good - TDB specializes in wings. They offer a myriad of sauces for the wings, which keeps things interesting if you like variety. If wings aren't your thing, they offer burgers and what not. There are even some items that are exclusive to TDB (check out the Dirty Chick - chicken tenders in your choice of sauce atop mac 'n' cheese and home fries), so everyone can possibly find something they'll like. Service, the times I visited, was good. That is a must because football Sundays are crowded (I remember having to wait at least 20 minutes to be seated; it's that busy). Overall, Dirty Buffalo in Ghent is a great spot to enjoy good food, sports and good company. Thank you, TDB! JV read more

Fantastic!! Food was delicious! The wings were HUGE!! The Poor Man's Wings were so good! The vast assortment of the sauces gave the entire group the opportunity to personalize their food choices. We will be back! read more

We arrived during dinner time so of course they were busy, but we didn't have to wait long. Our waiter was great and he was pretty on top of things. The restaurant is separated from the back. However, you can enter in either direction. Bar type feel but family oriented. They have a back room filled with arcade games and allows you to exit out that way to the back parking lot. Loved the food we ordered especially the Philly cheesesteak fries and s'more Amore dessert with Icecream. read more

Oh, man, TDB - it was just not cool what ya'll did! The Dirty Buffalo has three other locations: in Chesapeake, Little Creek, and VA Beach. I have been wanting to try this place for a while, so finally had the chance to stop by for a later lunch while visiting the area. Besides having daily specials, the menu is quite extensive, offering combos, appetizers, salads, mad bowls, hot dogs, burgers, sandwiches, subs, and desserts, besides their popular wings dressed in a variety of sauces. We ordered: +Garlic Parm Bites - Wisconsin cheese curds that were lightly tossed in the house's garlic parm sauce, sprinkled with grated parm, and served with a cup of marinara sauce +a 15-piece bone-in wings in medium sauce (considered to have a heat level of 2) +sweet tea The Garlic Parm Bites were tasty - they seemed a bit overly fried and were drenched in the garlic parm sauce (there was a big pool of it in the bottom of the basket); I feel like the portion was halved or something, because it looked like some curds were missing. The wings were okay, as we did ask if it was possible if these could be well-done, be all flats, and be extra wet - our server, Amina, stated that it may be a possibility, but she would just have to double-check with the chef. When she returned, she said it was a go, but she never mentioned whether there would be a surcharge on any of these requests (you know, I thought it was common courtesy to mention this?). She then proceeded to state 'You get two sauces' with our wings - we thought, what a surprise, since the menu stated that ranch or the bleu cheese was an extra charge (and, no, the order doesn't include even 1!), and perhaps the larger order of wings automatically included two? So, we decided on bleu cheese, based on her verbatim. And, no, there was no misunderstanding, and, no, we didn't misheard this. When we received the check, one could say that we were really surprised with all these extra charges added to the total (for the 2 bleu cheeses, for the wings being 'extra wet', and for the the request of 'all flats'). Again, none of these charges were ever mentioned by Amina. And, look, we have no problem in paying for customizations, but at least give us (and, all your customers) the common courtesy and be transparent about it so we can make that ultimate decision. It's like being nickel-and-dimed/being bamboozled - it was just super shady and all in very poor taste. Also, when you look on their online ordering system via their website, items seemed to be deceptively written - '1 Extra Ranch', '1 Extra Bleu Cheese', each being 69c; doesn't that mean at least 1 sauce comes with? Also, 'extra wet' isn't even an option, and nowhere does it state that there is an extra charge? Shrugs* I did like how the place was set up like a sports bar and they were playing a 90s alternative rock playlist; I thought we were having a good experience, but having it conclude like that? Super irritating. No dice, TBD. +no transparency of 'hidden' charges +inaccurate verbatim used by staff +parking available in private lot read more
