Review from Meghan M.
209 reviews? Well I doubt I can contribute anything groundbreaking but here goes...
This place is popular, very popular. With their popularity, they could very well get away with expensive beers, sub-par service, nickel and diming etc. I expected to be ripped off, but I wasn't. I saw other tables with bowls of carrots and celery and was immediately jealous. I requested our own bowl. The waitress said, "okay, but it costs extra." After we ordered it, I turned to my fellow diner and snidely said, "Yea, I wonder how much they charge for that $1 celery." Well eat crow Meghan, because they charged a whopping 99cents for it. They also have inexpensive beer ($3), provided great and attentive service, have combo deals (20 wings + pitcher of beer + large fries= $38), split wing flavors 5 ways, and happily box things up for you. I'm a fan, even though I don't like wings. Oh yea, and they're not kidding...their medium is HOT. -

WHAT?
REALLY?
I am still so mind boggled about this place.
So I'm on the way home from the airport in Buffalo- which I recommend EVERYONE in Ontario should drive out to and use instead of Toronto International as flights are really half the price. Anyways, I've heard about Duffs and it was nearby so decided to try it out.
First of all, the outside might remind one of a sketchy motel where the dumb teenagers in horror movies go to in the middle of nowhere before getting murdered. But, it was super busy, with people waiting outside, so I decide to try it out anyways. The wait was about 20 mins so the hostess told us we could order takeout and eat on the benches outside- while inhaling car fumes from the major intersection- no thanks.
After waiting 20 minutes, we get inside- and its horrifying. If you can picture a creepy 70's basement/ rundown hostel, that's what it looks like. Wood paneled walls and TERRIBLE lighting (is that thing going to fall on my head?) is just the start. The chair I sat down on was DUCT TAPPED. I mean, both the seat itself and the back of it. Ok, so it must be that the prices are amazing right? Nope- $9.95 for a pound, pretty standard. Ok, so it must be that the wings are amazing right? Well if you can get past the fact that it was brought out on plastic plates, and you are given an old plastic kitchen bucket to put the bones in- EVEN THEN they are JUST YOUR AVERAGE WING.
I am TRULY floored about this place and cannot for the life of me figure out why it is so popular.
If there was a minus star rating, that's what I would give it. Yikes. -

As a Rochesterian since 2005, I know what I like when it comes to buffalo wings. I was in Buffalo seeing the actual city for the first time two months ago (yeah, it's been way too long! for shame) with a few friends, and we debated which restaurant to hit up for wings: Duff's or Anchor Bar. We chose Duff's based on the reviews here.
We weren't impressed. The place was dingier than the dive bars in Rochester where we get our weekly requirements of wings. It definitely looked like it was in need of renovation. The wings had thick sauce slapped on them, were overly fried, and were not particularly good. Especially compared to what we were used to in Rochester. I didn't get a visceral sensation of satisfaction from eating them. The wings' quality were about equivalent to eating wings from McDonald's or something - entirely "meh." Our waitress was equally unimpressive - she was wholly disinterested and we had to flag her down if we wanted anything. We won't be coming here again. The place had a significant feel of "cruising on glory days gone past."
I came back to Buffalo a few weeks later and went to Anchor's. Their wings are much better, that I can say. -

Some of the finest wings you will have in ALL of Buffalo...The place just needs to expand or move to a bigger location...and not allow children to eat there. Then it would be PERFECT!!!

Took my teen daughter to Duff's (we live in Rochester, NY) as this has been on her bucket list for some time. I have been touting Duff's since the day she tried her first mediocore wing here in ROC. I lived in Buffalo 20 years ago and Duff's was a staple. So glad this Sheridan Dr location has not changed. It was like a time warp, only now I got to enjoy the best wings on the planet with my favorite person on the planet. It was a great night and now my daughter is considering adding UB to her list of possible colleges, just to be near Duff's.

In Buffalo for work for the weekend; I had just enough time to sample one of the famous hot wing joints, forcing me to decide between Anchor (the original) and Duff's (which I heard is the best). I'm very glad I went with the latter.
Wings are enormous, and are fried to a perfectly tender crisp. They come with copious sauce, but it's not enough to drown the wings and turn them mushy. The sauce itself (I went with the "very hot") is fiery as advertised, and the bleu cheese the wings come with is absolutely divine. For lack of a better word, they are perfect. Fries taste better than they look, although they're not good enough to distract you from the main attraction.
Service is pleasant and appropriately attentive (printed out an extra copy of my receipt, no questions asked). Price at this place is not a factor, since I'm fairly certain Duff's does what they do better than anyone on the planet, but in case you were wondering, it is very fair. In summary, I always appreciate it when a restaurant knocks a classic out of the park, and Duff's has done this with their wings. This is the standard by which all other wings should be judged. All hail Duff's! -

REALLY?! REALLY?!
WHY DID THEY GET SUCH HIGH RATING?
While visiting my friend this past weekend, she told us that Duff's was the place to get buffalo wings and Obama had eaten their wings.
Filled with excitement, we went there and ordered 10 wings (Medium/ Medium Hot).
After taking a bit, I was filled with remorse and grief. The vinegar smell over took everything. THe difference between Medium and Medium Hot was that Medium Hot has more sauce on top of the wings with oil floating on top. Unbelievable!
I expected more spice, more flavor, more moist wings... more pizzazz...
I don't know if I had TOO high expectations, or they were having an off day.
All I know is, there are local bars in other cities that serve better buffalo wings.
Disappointed and utterly shocked that this place has so many positive reviews.... -

I went to college in Buffalo (UB) & got wings to go from here very often. The guy I was dating at the time, he & I ate like pigs regularly & Duff's was 1 of our main pick-up places. We'd stop by there, get a bunch of their wings withOUT sauce (so they were very crispy!) PLUS a bacon cheeseburger (which is pretty good, too) - all to go, then stuffed our faces when we got back to his place. Then quickly fell into major food coma & just hibernated. (But hey, this is what you did in college!)
So after graduating (*gulp* like 12 yrs ago!!), I didn't get to go back to Duff's til 2009 (NOTE: This review's a bit outdated as 2009 was the last time I was there). The food was just as good as I remembered it!
Decor-wise, it's just a modest, sort of divey place, but that's part of its charm. Service was good, too, everyone was very nice. Food came out quickly. Beer was good, too. -

Best wings I have had. Has made me a believer again. Tried med and flavor was great. Maybe next time will try med/hot as I like a little more heat. Wings were fried just right with the perfect amount of sauce.

It's ALL about the LUNCH SPECIAL!!! Great deal: 10 wings, 2 sides $10!
When visiting Buffalo, we had to try some famous buffalo wings! And Duff's did not disappoint! Great tasting wings - love that they are made FRESH and sauce added right before being served so the wings are still crispy, not soggy! I tried the spiciest sauce, which wasn't terribly hot, but very vinegary. For my sides, I tried their chili and a side salad which were both large portions, but nothing special. Tons of food - way too much for me to finish in one sitting!
Very good and speedy service. -

The food in all Duff's restaurants is beyond amazing! However, this service at this particular location is consistently terrible. The last time my fiance and I went we waited twenty minutes before a waitress arrived. Then she failed to say one word. Instead, she proceeded to drop the wings on the table and walk away until she delivered the check. Again, if your looking for the best wings around, go to Duff's. Just not this one.

If your looking for BUFFALO WINGS then Duffs is the place.. If you want specialty wings with parmesan or honey, go somewhere else. You can't beat the specials either. I get the 20 wings basket of fries( which are always done to perfection) and a large pitcher of pop and it is perfect for two. The wings are big crispy and super saucy which is just how I like it. So, if you want a traditional Buffalo wing experience this is the place to go.

Review from Bobby L.
Corona, CA

While living in California for the past four years, the two food items that torment me the most are pizza from NYC (I grew up there) and wings from Buffalo (went to college there). I spent five years living in Buffalo and one of my favorite things to do was go out to eat and find what Buffalo and the surrounding suburbs have to offer. Before I lived in Buffalo, I was not that big of a fan of wings or bleu cheese. Now, I absolutely love both items. Buffalo, and specifically Duffs, just does it right!
Now let's focus more on Duffs. When it comes to wings, Duffs is definitely number 1! I've had wings everywhere and nothing compares to these wings! If you're sensitive to spice, be cautious when you order because the sauce is hotter than most places. When I order my wings, I generally either get medium or medium hot. Both are significantly spicy, but do not mask the flavor with too much spice.
I'm sure a lot of people are asking, "what can honestly be so special about a buffalo wing?". The main difference between Buffalo establishments like Duffs and restaurants in other areas of the country is how the wings are actually cooked. Outside of Buffalo, restaurants treat wings mainly as appetizers. Because they are appetizers, these establishments always want the food to come out quickly. This will lead a lot of restaurants to actually precook wings, normally by baking them (ugh, I shuttered a bit after typing that). Then, when they're ordered, they'll throw these precooked wings into the fryer for about 3-4 minutes. How do I know this? I've worked in many restaurants around the country. What's so bad about this, you might ask? This method affects both the flavor and texture of the wing. A lot of wings will then be too soft and mushy (Gross!). However, the best way to cook wings is to actually deep fry them from raw, usually around the 10 - 13 minute range, depending on the temperature of the deep fryer. This provides the perfect taste and texture of a wing and also keeps a lot of moisture within the wing. The negative to this is that people in areas like Southern California may be too impatient to wait for a food item that they consider an appetizer. However, if you treat wings as your meal, like at Duffs, then it's well worth the wait! Along with this perfectly fried wing is their spicy, tangy, and strong vinegar-based sauce. Vinegar is the key and perfect compliment to spicy pepper flavor (why do you think Franks Red Hot is so popular?).
On top of this rave review, the price is right! You cannot beat their lunch special! You get wings and 2 sides for just $10! Ridiculous! If anyone were to give this place a bad review, it either means that they really do not know anything about Buffalo wings, or that the restaurant burned down during their visit. I certainly hope the latter never happens for my sake... -

To all the sycophants, your scathing reviews were probably reserved for the sale staff at Walgreens when you bought your Preparation H after eating at this place.
This place petitioned to have my witticism-filled critique removed and I'm putting it up again in an abbreviated form. You want to go, management staff of an overpriced, bland, too big for its britches, unsighlty waiting area outside-having retrograde decoration having dump? Let's do this.
I, too, went to Niagara Falls. Loved it. Decided to take in the local fare of eateries. You would think that the place could handle a simple order of 10 wings and some fries. Not only did I have to wait over an hour for this order to come up, but I had to do it at the sports bar down the street by my hotel. What a joke. Sure you will fill orders of 40-60 wings for the obese trolls that swore to your abilities. They sure looked like they ate this stuff every day... So yeah, I listened to them and tried to not get annoyed. You had Mr. Obama stuff on there and yeah I was stoked to try some of the wings he had. But I have to wait outside in the damp rain with the rest of the people trying to cram into this 70's inspired dive to eat colorectal malaise plus cancer wings and some fries. Screw that!
Like I said in my first review, a Montreal jazz club I visited on my first trip had better, more flavorful, succulent, and well dressed wings than this tourist trap. Suck on that you censoring a-holes. Don't like it. You'll read it again. Hell yes, this is sour grapes. And it's my right as an American to call you on your shoddy service when it happens! -

We ordered 10 medium wings to go just to compare to Anchor Bar. They were pretty good but comperable to the wings back at home in Cali.
Service seemed generally friendly and prices were reasonable. -

This is my favorite place to get wings in Buffalo. The place from the outside doesn't look like a restaurant at all. I would come here and order the medium wings. They're soo meaty and the fries are delicious. I usually order extra and pop the rest in the oven the next day and they're still just as good.

Buffalo wings...in Buffalo...
Read the reviews of Duff's.
Gotta be authentic in Buffalo, right?
199 reviews can't be wrong...
The verdict.
Very greasy.....I mean a lot greaser than the normal greasy wings found at your typical wings establishments. Also, I thought the "real" authentic Buffalo Wings recipe did not fry the wings? They fry it at Duffs and have way too much coating on the chicken.
They missed it on the sauce was well. The Hot sauce was way too salty and too much vinegar. For a "Hot" sauce, it wasn't that hot at all. We tried different sauces. Instead of becoming hotter, it just got saltier.
This place is waaaay overhyped, if your gonna clog your arteries, go to Five Guys instead... -

Mediocre visit. I read here on Yelp that the Anchor Bar is a tourist trap, so we came here off of our hotel's recommendation.
I'm all for crispy wings, but these were so crispy that I couldn't distinguish between what was meat or bone. Server was nice, hence the two stars.
Ordered cinnamon monkey bread for our road trip to NYC tonight & the inside is still frozen. When brought to the waitress' attention she said the kitchen does it that way since the food will be cold by the time we got home. Although she offered to heat it more we were ready to go.
Duff's TV station playing was hilarious though. Better than AFV.
***Update: We weren't going to leave Buffalo without doing a side-by-side comparison of the wings, so we went straight to Anchor Bar just to satisfy our curiosity. WE LOVED THEM! Warm atmosphere, staff who seems to like their job, and meatier wings with the perfect amount of crunch. We were even able to purchase a bottle of their sauce to take home to Denver with us. NOT a tourist trap. -

What more can I say. I don't even normally eat wings (I know I have the wrong audience here, but there's just something about gnawing meat off of an animal bone that gets to me), but I had to have them at Duff's.
We got 20 Medium Light wings (weak, I know) and they were PLENTY hot for me. We also tried one of their sandwiches which was decent as well. -

Never been and had too try. Had 10 wings mild, the wings were good sized and done perfectly, the sauce had good flavor, also got side of HOT, be prepared to sweat and dont touch your eyes like this dumbass did.Fries were thin cut and crispy and plentiful. Side salad was ok, lettuce tasted clean big plus for me.. Wasnt much to look at inside or out but thats means notta to me. All in all am at the point were its tough to get excited about wings. Anyone remember M&E lounge on Military Rd? Their wings were amazing, they had a light breading, so good and very missed.

Duff's serves up great wings with an incredible skin, the texture of not-yet-crispy bacon, coated in a tangy, spicy sauce. Our waitress served efficiently and produced large plates quickly. Certainly not to be missed on a trip to Buffalo.
Only reason I docked a star was our pitcher of Dr. Pepper was flat. -

Meh. I've experienced better.....thats what she said. I on the other hand thought it was semi-satisfying. I ordered hot wings with chili. The chili could have been mistaken for soup with a few kidney beans and no meat.The wings were hot, but not uber explosive so that I could feel the burn the next day after my first crap. Since Obama went there things seem to have gone down hill.

The wings are fine. Settle down. They tasted the same to be as Domino's wings in Worcester. The sauce tasted like Franks Red Hot Sauce to me.
The problem during my last 2 visits was the TREMENDOUS wait time to be seated. This place needs a bigger building big time.
I recommend take out. Its 20 minutes from order to food, and you don't have to wait 45+ minutes to be seated. -
Review from Brian W.

Buffalo wings originated in Buffalo... so you'd think they'd be extra-awesome here.
Guess what: THEY ARE.
We ordered the BBQ (a bit sweet-- nom), the mild medium (quite possibly the most perfect non-spicy buffalo wing I've ever eaten, fried perfection), and the medium, which has a little bit of heat on first bite but afterwards is super delicious and subsequently doesn't seem nearly as hot.
Friggin' delicious.
Top it off with an order of two of their very thin cut fries, then top the fries with an order of chili, which is loaded with beef and cheese (and sadly, a few beans). Yuuuum.
4.5 stars. I round down to 4; sadly. I have not tried their competition yet... perhaps I should? I'm also only used to awful buffalo wings they serve at places outside of Buffalo, so maybe I am not the critic I should be, but when the average chain buffalo wing is so awful compared to this... I feel confident enough in saying that this place is indeed, DELICIOUS.
(and maybe I should try the "hot" wings next time, although I would need different friends to go with, 'cause yeah...) -
Review from Trung N.
9/12/2011 1 Check-in Here
Perhaps I'm used to a different kind of flavor when it comes to chicken wings.. but as far as the traditional "Buffalo wings" go.. I suppose the stronger cayenne flavor that pretty much dominates the entire palette is how it's supposed to be.
When the menu warns you that their spiciness levels are actually a step up ("Medium IS HOT", "Medium Hot IS VERY HOT".. etc) perhaps I'm just too used to spicy wings, because even the "Hot" (which they warn you is "VERY, VERY HOT") didn't seem to phase me much.. Indeed it was spicy, but perhaps I'll have to spend the extra money for the "Death" or "Armageddon" sauce to really satisfy my cravings for spiciness.
The sauce was pretty much dominated and had the flavor of Frank's Red Hot sauce.. At which then... I don't see how difficult it would be to really just make chicken wings like these at home. Prices were good, service was great, and the food was delicious nonetheless. -

On our way to Niagara Falls, I knew we had to make a stop in Buffalo to eat real Buffalo wings. This place was well reviewed and so off to Duff's we went! We grabbed one of the last tables at the end of the lunch rush.
We both ordered their wing lunch combo: 10 wings with 2 sides (choice of soup, salad, chili or fries). We went with the double order of fries which looking back was way too much fried food in one sitting, but salad and wings don't make sense.
Anyway, on their menu they list "medium - it's very hot", "hot- it's very very hot" and so forth. I love hot stuff, but the "very very hot" for a wing place steered me to medium. Big mistake. It was like any other medium sauce and I craved the hotter sauce the rest of the meal. Jeff ordered mild which meant little to no wing sauce. Overall, we thought it was an average place with average flavors. -

For all the haters....Duffs is IT!!
We always order #4, medium, extra crispy with a pitcher of Blue light. Now, I'm not saying there aren't good wings at other places in Buffalo. I've never waited more than 20 minutes, and I went with a party of 15 before and I think it only took 30-35 minutes to seat us on a busy Saturday night.
You can go to pretty much any dive bar in the area and get an order of good wings. But Duffs has everyone beat, it's just sooo good, trust me. I've had Anchor Bar, and they are decent, but Duffs has them by a long shot. When I move from Buffalo, it's gonna be a sad day without Duffs (and Wegmans) but you can call ahead and get them frozen to travel with you! -

Review from Matt D.

I ordered 10 wings "medium light" since medium is advertised as hot... I like heat AND flavor. I definitely could have gone medium or medium hot and not been overpowered by heat. The wings were perfectly crispy on the outside, moderately meaty on the inside, and had a great buffalo taste (Duff's uses my favorite... Frank's Red Hot as the base for their sauces).
I also ordered the 2nd most famous food in Buffalo, beef on weck... it was good, but not great. The roast beef was plentiful, but dry and the roll was too salty (and I love salt). Stick to the wings.
I washed all of this down with a couple drafts of Labatt Blue.
Total bill was $23.60.
I will definitely be back for more wings the next time I am in Buffalo and will be ordering the medium hot. -

We were told there'd be a 25-minute wait and got seated in 10 mins. Already a great start! It got better from there...wings are amazing. Simple and direct wings with a spicy, vinegary kick. Here's what I recommend:
- BBQ (medium)
- Regular (medium hot)
- Beef on weck (it comes with a costanzo roll which is salted FYI)
Add friendly and fast service to the mix and you can't beat Duff's! I can see why locals highly recommend this. Next time I'll try Anchor Bar, Duff's rival. -

A few months back I visited Buffalo for the first time. Duff's was THE place for wings, they said... Buffalo Wings in Buffalo. It's a must!! So, while I am no wing connoisseur, I thought they were pretty good -- meaty, saucy, messy, and each one consistent in comparison to the last. In my book, it doesn't take much to have a good wing so long as they are not rubbery and fatty. Duff's passes the test.

I just saw that the "owner's son" responded to my previous update with this response:
"As manager and the owner's son I can tell you we DO NOT water down the beer here!! It comes in kegs so there is no way to add water to it. We clean our taps every 2 weeks unlike a lot of other places that seldom or never do. So what you really are tasting is how the keg beer really does taste when the taps are actually clean. Again, we have never and would never water down beer or any other drinks here, that's just cruel and wrong!! Next time up try the Duff's micro, it's my favorite."
Fair enough, he has the right to respond.
Funny though, my family has been in the business since I can remember and my middle brother is a sommelier. His statement about "clean[ing] [their] taps every two weeks" makes no sense. I know what Yeungling tastes like, out of tap, can or bottle. I also know what diluted beer tastes like. Nice try. This type of response only works on high school kids who struggle to buy Pabst Blue Ribbons with fake IDs.
I am also really fond of of him trying to advertise his own brew at the end of his response.2 Previous Reviews: Show all »

I don't know what the fuss is about. Based on raves from a fellow coworker who grew up in Buffalo and regularly visits, this is the place for wings. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but my experience on a late Saturday afternoon at ~3pm included a 25 min wait time for a 2-top, overly dry, crispy, and undersauced wings.
Granted, the lunch special was a damn good deal and will definitely fill you up, but if you are like me and enjoy tender, juicy buffalo wings, perhaps this isn't the best place to find them. -

Duff's is my favourite place I've found for chicken wings! This includes some of the other well known wing joints in town. I should make a note that Buffalo wings are my favourite wings.
I like wings either medium, hot or suicide. This place has amazing medium and hot wings. On top of that the blue cheese is some of the best I've ever had.
The service is fast and there's all kinds of parking. The place is a hole but the food and service is fast and great.
I'm actually salivating thinking about their wings right now! -

I'm told this is the place the Buffalo locals come and get their Buffalo wings. This was also the chain (though not the location) that Obama got his wings when he was in Buffalo.
These are definitely tasty wings, up there on my best-of list (call me crazy, but I really like Mad Mex wings too). I got the "medium" which Duff's says is like hot at other restaurants, but didn't have to guzzle water. Their microbrew wasn't half bad either.
My only qualm with Duff's was the slow, somewhat inattentive service, but I would not hesitate to come back for more wings when I'm in Buffalo. -

We were in town for the Bills-Raiders football game and this was our first stop after leaving the airport. We had wings at three different places during our stay in Buffalo, and this was our favorite.
The customer service was outstanding, and the prices are fair.
I was told the hot wings were extremely hot, and that the medium wings were hot. Since this was our first time, we ordered medium and mild wings. The medium wings weren't as hot as I expected, so given another chance, I would try the hot wings.
We also ordered the beef on weck sandwich. Great sandwich. The beef was very tender. I wasn't used to so much salt on top of the kimmelweck bun, so I removed about half the salt from the top of the bun, and t was perfect.
We arrived for lunch just at 11:30 on a Saturday and were seated right away. When we departed around 1pm, there were quite a few people waiting for a table. The parking lot was half full when we arrived, but completely packed when we left. There were people in cars waiting for other customers to leave. Recommend getting there before noon for easier parking, and getting a table right away. -

Didn't understand the hype of this restaurant. Personally I had better wings in buffalo before. I even had better wings in Killington, Vermont!
First time and my last time there. Even my friends feel that there are better wings elsewhere.
