    Before eating wings
    Josh H.

    Came here with my buddies and it was a night for the week baby. We were looking for the best wings in Buffalo and this is what people have been raving about. The bartender told me what to get that was really nice. The medium buffalo ones were pretty hot but a good amount of hot. But hot enough to give me the hiccups right away and dip them in the bbq wing sauce and be too afraid to touch my eyes because what if it stings it already stung the first time I touched them and I need to take my contacts out but am too afraid too. I already washed my hands 3 times. Gwen stefani is on the wall here. Her picture is. I think if she was single and my age and my height and in the same restaurant as me I would try to kiss her. I would ask for her consent and confirm all these things.

    I am not going to lie, I miss the original wingnutz location at the Knights where I could see and have a wonderful conversation with Ed and Alicia. Stopped at Froth specifically for Wingnutz and it wasn't the same experience. It was fine. The wings were great, the sauce, Wingnutz mild, delicious. Ill be back, but not as frequent as a flyer I once was. I yearn for thr good old days of water in bright solo cups, our seats at the large circle tables and hearing all about the fantastic news that Ed always had about Wingnutz and spreading the word. Ed and Alicia are what made Wingnutz special, as well as the tasty and amazing food. Also, not sure why their beef sandwich and wings combo doesn't use a weck roll. That discouraged us from ordering that combo special. Weck is everything, especially in Buffalo. The experience at the Froth location was a lot better than the experience at the Amherst take out location. I am grateful that I can come back to the North Buffalo spot. The parking lot is rough, but there is ample parking. Don't wear good shoes because you won't get them clean if it is a muddy day.

    This location is mixed in with Froth Brewing bar. It's very off putting as I wasn't expecting a seat yourself and order on your phone with no greeting at all kind of experience. How it works- you walk in and you go to any table you like, scan the QR code that's on your table, and you order through a site. If you have cash, there is a register there and someone should help you. Oh, also you have to buy your drinks at the bar separately. Once food is ready, you'll get an alert on your phone via text and a waitress (or waiter) will bring it to you (which I wasn't expecting as it wasn't really clear) I ordered the pretzel bites and honey garlic/wingnutz mild wings and my friend ordered the fries and buffalo medium/wingnutz mild. Overall, food was good. The pretzel bites were fresh and the dipping sauce was flavorful (and lived up to the spicy name) wings were very crispy and sauced very well. My friend liked the fries as well, said they were heavy but good. A disclaimer- they have huge overly sized wings. If you do not like big wings, do not go. If that's your jam, I recommend making this your next spot. What I liked- the vibe of this place, warm lighting and wasn't crowded, ample parking. What I disliked- didn't feel very welcome, didn't get greeted or asked if we needed help by any of the staff or servers, VERY expensive (for my wings and pretzel bites cost me over $40) I would recommend this place if you don't mind being left alone or not having a full restaurant experience. Also, be prepared to pay good money. It's not bad, but definitely could be better

    Welcome to the 20th chicken wing review from the Castle Ridge Wing Kings. For our friends who have been following from the beginning, thanks for reading. If you're new to the page, check out some of our previous posts. Either way, we'd love to see your comments on our posts; was it helpful, are we dead wrong about your favorite wings, is there an aspect of chicken wing consumption we're not considering? To evaluate our next stop, Wingnutz Buffalo, we'll need to dissect their tagline, "Size. Sauciness. Crunch." Location: 3.5 / 5 We visited the location inside Froth brewery which meant it had a pretty cool atmosphere and a GREAT beer selection. Unfortunately, the wing ordering process was clumsy; take a seat, figure out there is no wait staff, see the order here sign, oh not here this is just for beer, actually order here. We also missed engaging with the wait staff, hearing flavor recommendations, trying out new jokes, bragging about our facebook page, etc. Finally, OVER $2 PER WING! Wingnutz officially earns the distinction as the most expensive wing in Buffalo. Presentation: 4 / 5 Not bad. Metal trays with wings piled high and the bleu cheese was top notch. However, by the time we got most of the way through, the wings were drowning in sauce pond. While they were true to their "Sauciness" tagline, the sauce hindered their promise of "Crunch." Meat: 3 / 5 "Size" indeed. Turns out you can have too much of a good thing. Straight up, these wings were too big and the breading technique they employ made them even bigger. Cook: 7 / 10 Another conflicting score here. Kudos to Wingutz for delivering these wings hot and juicy. They were actually quite well cooked. But we all love a crispy wing and were excited to experience the advertised "crunch" so it was disappointing when that was compromised with the heavy breading and over-saucing. Standard Medium: 8 / 15 Medium is not Wingnutz flagship flavor so they're at a bit of a disadvantage with their weighting of this category but. The sauce application was actually a bit inconsistent across wings including sometimes being unevenly applied on a particular wing. Overall this made many of the wings soggy and the experience felt pretty sloppy. Specialty Flavors: 6.5 / 10 Full credit for uniqueness on the style - extra breading and some unique flavors. But the novelty wears off quickly. The Sriracha, highly anticipated at the Wing King's table, was sorely lacking in flavor. Honey garlic reminded some of us of the wings at Hooters or a Chinese buffet - I didn't sense that was meant in a complimentary way. Wingnutz: 32 / 50 Not to overstate the point, but Wingnutz offers a unique, non-traditional wing and they do so deliberately. After studying their website, we can confirm they prepare their wings exactly as they say they will - with the exception of the "Crunch" part. In the end, Wingnutz is a lot like the Opera, or house cats - you either 'get it' or you don't.

    My fiancé and I love coming to Froth and getting Wingnutz for food. They have great mozzarella logs, pizza logs, pretzel bites, and nachos. We enjoy their specials especially their street corn logs! They were perfect. My fiancé loves their wings and the size of them! The servers are always great here and are super nice.

    Tammy J.

    Ed (creator of WingNutz) was super nice and took the time to explain what made Wing Nutz so special. You just don't see that these days. The wings were a whole new level of good and so much flavor!

    French fries and honey Sriracha chicken fingers
    Christine H.

    French fries were really good and not too crunchy. Honey Sriracha fingers were outstanding. The fingers had a nice crunch to them and juicy in the inside.

    Absolutely, hands down, the best wings I've had. Been to Bar Bill, Elmo's, no Gabriel's Gate or 9-11 Tavern, but I'm positive, they won't beat what the family and I had this evening! From the size, to the crisp, to the lathering of tasty sauce, these won't be beat. I tried the Cajun and the Wingnutz Medium(Honey Garlic, Buffalo Medium and BBQ, were also enjoyed this evening). The service was fantastic. Can't ask for more than hot, fresh eats to be served promptly. There was a retirement party happening while we there, and it was awesome to see everyone enjoying themselves. Granted, it was touch loud, but it was a party!!!! Will we be back? For sure!

    Wings

    Best wings on planet earth, it's not even close. I live 4 hours away and drive there several times per year for the wings. The location in Froth Brewing is better than the takeout store, but both are good. The mild are perfect!! Mediums are pretty hot, but are still delicious.

    10 Mild & 10 Medium O-H!

Great service from Renee who was very accommodating, patient and knowledgeable. Upon walking in the restaurant is intimate, prohibition era like, romantic, yet homey vibes. The food was VERY good. Started with one of the BEST mushroom soups I've ever had. Mushrooms were thick cut, broth was very tasty ..a cup of love that think could win over a non mushroom eater. I had the meatloaf, mashed potatoes and carrots and surprisingly the star of the show was the carrots. The mains, although good didn't leave me wondering how in the world did they made them like the carrots did. They were sweet and savory, cooked perfectly with great texture and taste. My guests had the Salmon burger and another, the Lamb. Tasted my sister's salmon burger and it was amazing. I'll be coming back to have my own. Salmon was meaty, seasoned well, on a soft brioche bun. I also don't know what the sauce was they made to go with it but it added the perfect compliment. My brother's lamb was TENDER, cooked perfectly and seasoned to perfection. I'll be back for that too when they add a couple more chops to the plate. It was delicious, but the lamb chops were tiny and there were only four. THE DESSERT::: soooo good... definitely appreciated the HOMEMADE taste of the chocolate tart. Three people shared it and with the first bite I could tell that was a mistake. Next time I'll get my own for sure. Pro's- Quality food, great service, decent pricing Con's- Size of Lamb and Hibiscus Spritzer was definitely missing something.

The service was very good and it's a cute spot that I'd be willing to come back to. The best thing we had BY FAR were the beef croquettes. These were perfect, and I could have made a meal out of them. They had a tender birria like shredded meat inside with some cheese and probably some potato, I can't even remember but I do remember that everyone loved these. We also ordered asparagus, the Korean Fried Chicken, the shrimp with potatoes (all small plates) and one of my friends ordered the duck entree. My husband and friends had cocktails and mocktails; I didn't order one because they said they had nothing that was sweet. Incidental pet peeve: Saying "all our cocktails are balanced". I get it, you want to brag. But, some of us like things that are sweet, or as in the case of one of my friends, decidedly NOT sweet. If all of your cocktails are balanced the same way, it gives little useful info on what to order. I will respond to this by NOT ordering and sticking to tap water. I'd prefer it if you have a little something sweet and a little something not-sweet on the menu for those of us who don't actually want "perfectly balanced". That said, I did have a sip of the cocktails the others ordered. To my surprise, I liked the Broken Garden Tools. Though it wasn't particularly sweet it was also not super sour/tart and it was refreshing. I *could* have ordered that one, but I never would have known it from the description. I didn't like any of the others I tasted, but I can't remember what those were. Since I don't like whisky and I prefer sweet drinks, don't take this to mean that they don't have good drinks - the others enjoyed theirs, they just weren't to MY taste. Of the other dishes, I liked the cabbage that was on my friend's duck plate (I didn't try the duck). The asparagus was fine. The shrimp and potatoes was ok but not as good as I'd hoped for. And honestly, I didn't love the KFC. It didn't seem to be twice-fried and super crispy like KFC should be, and the sauce to me wasn't balanced between the sweet and spicy flavors I prefer. However, my husband liked it very well. The only other thing I'd caution is to double check ingredients. There was a dish ordered (I can't remember which now, some kind of bread maybe, but not listed as a bruschetta) that said it contained rosemary among other things but did not list basil. We saw no rosemary at all, but a lot of basil, which I can't eat. So I didn't have any. The others shared it. I would have been more disappointed had it been my selection. My friend noted that the server did not ask us about any food allergies, which, if your menu doesn't accurately list its contents, is problematic. Fortunately I know what basil looks like so no harm done. All in all, I would return, get lots of croquettes, order a Broken Garden Tools, and maybe try some other things we didn't get to. But I'd double check all the ingredients.
