From the minute you walk into Duff’s and see the “our hot wings are really hot” sign, it’s pretty much a sure bet that you’re about to embark on a culinary journey and discover the best wings that Buffalo has to offer.

            The wings come steaming hot by the bowl with gigantic cups of bleu cheese and a bucket for all of your wing detritus.

            Duff’s wings truly are a tantalizing trip for your taste buds. Why? Because they haven’t tried to get fancy and show off. Their straightforward approach to the wing is what sets them apart from all of the other wing joints in Western New York. The wings are simply fried, coated in the sauce of your choice and placed on your table with some bleu cheese and a heaping pile of napkins.

            No muss, no fuss, just really good wings.

            Plus, Duff’s has some of the best prices around, though the wings are so good, they could probably raise prices and still get customers.

            The best time to go is on a Friday or Saturday night with a bunch of friends. But be forewarned – Duff’s on Sheridan Dr. is tiny, and you will wait. If you’re really craving some Duff’s wings, you can make the trek out to Orchard Park for their bigger sister restaurant.

            Order one of the wing and pitcher combos - you won’t be disappointed, unless of course you are one of the rare few who, for whatever reason, don’t like delicious wings and beer. If that’s, so then you should probably stay away from Duff’s.

            And out of Buffalo, for that matter.
