JJFIVEOH Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 It's been several years since I've been back to BFLO and I'm looking for a place with the best traditional Buffalo chicken wings somewhere along the way from the airport to Canada. I know of all the little holes in the wall on the outskirts but I'm not familiar any more with what is downtown...... Or in the area I mentioned. I have friends that are flying in and heading to Toronto and are looking for some real chicken wings. I plan to send them to Charlie's, but also need a wing place. I wanted to send them to East Aurora for wings but I don't think they're going to be able to get out that way. Any recommendations? Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 Gabriel's gate in Allentown is great and good sandwiches too Vinny's in West Seneca also hat great cajun hot wings and great prices. Quote
Tony P Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 Buffalo Brew Pub (near Main and Transit) is always a more-than-solid choice for Wings and has a great selection of beers too. Our tradition when flying back to BUF is: get the rental car and go straight to the BBP. Quote
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 If they are going to Charlie's on Wherle near the airport, just send them to La Nova on Main and they can catch the 290 to the Falls from there. Not much room to sit in, but an easy route without backtracking to downtown unless they really want to go there. Quote
Eleven Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Gabriel's gate in Allentown is great and good sandwiches too Vinny's in West Seneca also hat great cajun hot wings and great prices. In the city of Buffalo, there really is no other choice. If your friends are taking 290 to 190 to Canada, Duff's in Amherst has (IMO) the best wings in the area, and it's right off 290.

Two or less Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 I love the wings at the Big Tree Inn by the Ralph. Quote
SwampD Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 I thought in Buffalo you only had to know where the bad wings are. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 In the city of Buffalo, there really is no other choice. If your friends are taking 290 to 190 to Canada, Duff's in Amherst has (IMO) the best wings in the area, and it's right off 290. I second the Duff's opinion. Quote
Brawndo Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 Duffs or Bar Bills in East Aurora is an excellent choice Quote
Randall Flagg Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) I got Duff's Death Sauce in my eye a couple months ago. Edited May 10, 2015 by Randall Flagg Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Posted May 10, 2015 Duffs or Bar Bills in East Aurora is an excellent choice Yeah, I was going to mention to them Bar Bills. I grew up in East Aurora, love it. I liked Main St. Pizza Company in Batavia too. Used to enjoy Sorrentino's in East Aurora, but I think they're closed. Thanks guys, I passed along the recommendations. Now my mouth is watering for BFLO food. Quote
CallawaySabres Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 The Gate has gone way downhill and in my opinion, nothing can touch Bar Bill Quote
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 I got Duff's Death Sauce in my eye a couple months ago. Huh.....I always figured Sylvester to be the broadcaster on the Downlow........ Quote

SwampD Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 Huh.....I always figured Sylvester to be the broadcaster on the Downlow........ I was going to go with, "Which eye? Of the four, each one would be more painful than the next." Quote
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 I was going to go with, "Which eye? Of the four, each one would be more painful than the next." Congratulations Sabres. It's the 2nd round of the playoffs and we're resorting to making LGBT jokes about your broadcast team in a discussion about chicken wings......... Quote
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 Ewwwwwwww If it makes you feel any better, Brad May's nickname for his little guy is, "The Anchor", so you were walking a slippery slope no matter where you went....... Quote
CallawaySabres Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 You are biased, you live in EA right? Than again, I'm not disagreeing ;) Grew up by the Gate and had it for the first time in a while. Those wings are NOT WHAT they used to be. I do live in EA now and those Bar Bill wings are freakin ridiculous. Cajun medium is unstoppable Quote
Neo Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 We have many places here in Tampa. You know, chains that serve Buffalo Wings, with ranch dressing .... I am near tears .... Quote

Hoss Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 Gabriel's Gate is a block away from where I live and I still haven't gone. That'll change soon. Quote
Neo Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 What about breaded, they gotta have breaded wings Oh, yes! The finest in the land .... I make jokes. I like Tampa. Nothing I've found, though, beats the small town restaurant quality of Buffalo ... Quote
SwampD Posted May 11, 2015 Report Posted May 11, 2015 Gabriel's Gate is a block away from where I live and I still haven't gone. That'll change soon. Dude,… It's 367 mile from where I live (as per Google Maps), and it's the first place I'm going if I want wings in Buff. You owe it to yourself to go. There is also a bartender there that makes a drink he calls his Granny's Manhattan. Its heavy on the grenadine but it's still pretty good. And if you get fingers, don't be surprised if you think they killed an ostrich for your meal. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted May 11, 2015 Author Report Posted May 11, 2015 Oh, yes! The finest in the land .... I make jokes. I like Tampa. Nothing I've found, though, beats the small town restaurant quality of Buffalo ... I make my own now. Got sick of wasting my time trying to find any place that has decent wings. Starting to reach that point with fish fries. Quote
