Duff’s

If there is one great wing spot most people in Buffalo can agree on, it’s Duff’s. In the last five years they’ve taken over the Buffalo area, expanding to five locations and gaining popularity in the national media. Over that time they’ve been visited by President Obama and won a “Food Wars” competition on the Travel Channel. Their signature wings are coated heavily in sauce and offered in more than 10 spicy levels. While all the locations are solid, the original on Sheridan Drive is the most consistent and the only one that doesn’t feel like a sports bar. If you only have time to stop at one traditional chicken wing restaurant, Duff’s will not let you down.
