    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    Inaccuracy of order. Buffalo chicken Caesar salad ordered but no dressing at all what soever and no buffalo. Very disappointed and refund requested. Do better if you want repeat business please.

    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.

    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.

    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!).

    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! We will be returning! Again ... and Again.... And Again .... And again

    Beer and wings!

    Ask the Community - The Dirty Buffalo

    Anyone know of any keto-worthy options?

    They don't specifically say anything about Keto on their menu. https://thedirtybuffalo.com/menu… 

    Is this a Buffalo Bills bar?

    No. It is a sports bar that serves many types of Buffalo wings.

    Didn't see any beer price on your menu?

    They do not put their drink prices on their menus. One reason I didnt give them a perfect rating. When I asked our waitress last time about a drink price, I got "I think it's $xx..." I wish they didn't hide them!

We were told 15 minutes and it was ready when we arrived. we walked in and iv could immediately see what others were talking about. Dirty floor, tables, trash cans. Dead bugs. I Immediately regretted my decision. while waiting for the employee to finish her call. I looked at the food in the warming containers. Everything was dried out and looked old. Nothing was covered. Cashier was using the same gloves hands serve food, answer the phone and type in orders. The food was just okay. I liked the charcoal flavor of the chicken 7/10 but the rice was dry and hard, the beans were over cooked and flavorless, the veggies were mushy and lacked seasoning as well. The lack of cleanliness is a huge deal for me because if the front of the house is nasty, the back couldn't be any better. This place is a no for me.

I will say that their medium is way to Spivey for me, but I knew going forward to get the mild which is also spicy. On this particular visit I was fantastically disappointed. So, I ordered a two piece and a drink. I asked what pieces of the chicken come with a two piece the young man behind the counter stated a leg and thigh. He even went to the wall that lists what pieces you can expect to receive to confirm. I said that was fine as I don't care for chicken breast at all, never have and I never will. I paid and then he said that it would be 20-25 minutes. No problem as I am happy to wait for fresh fried chicken. No please keep in mind that they were not busy at all. They had zero customers when I walked in, two first responders came in after me and there was no else who came in afterwards. Please help me understand why this young man brought me a tray with a wing and a breast.. I took the greasy tray back up to him and politely asked what was on my tray. He told me. I then asked him what he told me came with the 2 piece. He repeated a leg and a thigh. Then why would he bring me a breast and a wing? I told him that I would like a refund. He stated that they could remake it. I said "No thank you, I'm not going to wait another 20-25 minutes and I would like a refund". This poor kid then stated that he would have to call his manager. Fine. Call them. Why would the manager need to be called? I didn't get what I ordered and paid for and I didn't eat the food. Over the phone the manager inquired if I would prefer for the food to be remade or if I would like a refund. Sir, I have already asked for a refund. Will most certainly not be returning. There are way too many fried chicken restaurants in this area. If chicken is your thing then maybe do it right. Also, I failed to mention that they now do seafood boils. Not sure I would try it. If you can't get your chicken orders right how are you going to get your seafood boils right? No thank you.

I can handle heat but wanted to see what the chicken and breading itself tasted like. The chicken was good, but while it was breaded, it didn't seem like it was deep fried (maybe pan fried?). The chicken wasn't super crispy, but the filet was MASSIVE. The sandwich as a whole was good though! It comes with pickles, coleslaw, and their signature sauce. The fries are waffle fries and are crispy and taste good. I would come here again, but it wouldn't be my first pick for a chicken sandwich. If you're familiar with other Nashville hot chicken places, this isn't on the same level as even Fry The Coop.
