    Yum yum wings are awesome! Great hot sauce. Great service. Music sucks and they need fried pickles on the menu.

    How I wish I read Jennifer & Wayne's reviews before visiting this location, what a hurtin' dinner my friends and I experienced.

    As previously stated, the wings were dry and chewy, overly so.

    Let me begin this rant by stating I can't stand the fact that they have the following slogan plastered all over the walls of their locations, the staff's t-shirts and headlining their website:

    Warning:
    MEDIUM is HOT
    MEDIUM-HOT is VERY HOT
    HOT is VERY, VERY HOT

    First of all. The MEDIUM is comparable to a watered down Tobasco. The MEDIUM HOT is probably straight Tobasco. The HOT is probably Tobasco w/ Frank's. Bottom line the wings here are not that hot at all. I was so dissatisfied with the heat I had to order a side of DEATH sauce, the 2nd hottest sauce they had on their menu. Even that received a beat down. I would love to go back to smash their Armageddon sauce, the hottest sauce they offer but I can't justify spending any more $ at this establishment. Also, where do they get the balls to name their spiciest wing Armageddon, didn't All-Stars own that long before them? Regardless, you would think this heat mission statement was coined by a 4 yr old as far away from India as possible.

    In addition to this scoville mockery, I also ordered the spicy BBQ which was nothign special at all. It was so evident this sauce came out of a 3L jug and simpley did not taste good at all.  

    To top off the whole experience, we ordered onion scoops only to find a piece of paper in one of them. A small square rectangular piece of yellow paper inside an onion scoop!!! It was unchewable and clearly some form of wax paper as it was fibrous. We informed our waitress and she only took the nearly full basket of scoops away from our table and off our bill, that's it. I couldn't help but notice these are also the exact same onion scoops that All-Stars carries.

    Believe me I hate ranting on establishments, I really do. But this experience was rough. However, despite this 1* review I am certain this Duff's location will still thrive. It was packed the Sunday night I was in there and the parking lot consistently remains to be so.

    On the only positive note service was good and staff were attentive. There were a fair amount of LCD's scattered around the restaurant which makes it a good venue to watch football and other sporting events.

    Overall though a terrible experience at Duff's. Such a shame as it is less then a 1 minute drive from my house and they have a nice patio. I still to this day have not had better wings than Turtlejack's, anywhere.

    2-Week Old Duff's isn't as popular as Menchie's next door but nonetheless it's still a welcome addition to this Rutherford Marketplace plaza. One point was that this Weekend afternoon the parking already felt limited within the front of the restaurant and watch out for the Children running around when you drive/park.

    Maybe it's not prime-time the moment I stepped in so my 10-Wings($10.25) weren't dry or chewy as the ones I had at the College location. The Mild-Medium was a bit weak even for me, so I will stick to Medium next time. This time as a non-Buffalo Wing fan, I was happy with the outcome of my Wings.

    There's around 6 LCD at every viewable angle perfect for those game-nights and there's even Patio space at this location. It didn't have as much as All-Stars(Vaughan) in terms of LCD and the decor I would say had some hybrid of Duff's and St. Louis(Woodbridge).

    The Wait Staff were a bit lacking visible enthusiasm and they're brand spanking new as I asked when they close on Sunday Nights(11 pm) and 2 of the ladies tried their best to zoom in on the entrance door but the Hours on there were kind of tiny. It is newly opened, so definitely give some time for the staff to get up-to-stuff.

    I know I am not a Wing person!

    It always amazed/annoyed my friends when I start telling them how fattening chicken wings are! (the skin, the dark meat really adds up the fat content, cholestrol level and calories) and now you deep fried them in oil! Then coated in sauce composed of a vinegar-based cayenne pepper hot sauce and butter.

    (http://www.livestrong....)

    I don't really mind if they at least tasted good! The Duff's Famous Wings we have the other night was so dried.. like chewing on jerkys.

    But I love Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce/Todasco!! I can eat anything that has hot sauce on it.. but nothing can save these poor dried chicken wings....

    Luckily, this is not my main meal just a little snack with a pint of beer.. The pint of beer and good companion made of for the food.

    I don't mind coming back trying the Death and Armageddon wings, but I really don't think I can stomach the whole order, not because of the heat but the wings itself!

    I had a good experience at Duff's.  I was there on Tuesday night (which is their wing night - 10 wings for $7.25 with the purchase of a drink which is roughly 3 dollars cheaper than the regular price).  I ordered the wings medium.  They were hotter than most medium sauces I have had but they were large and meaty and came cooked well done/crispy, just as I had requested.  I also ordered the zucchini appetizer (breaded and deep fried zucchini with a dill sauce) which was decent but rather oily).  My dining companion ordered the Caesar chicken wrap which came with uninspired fries.  

    I would go back for the wings.
