Restaurant Wings Finally tried the wings in Buffalo, and…
Made it over to Duffs and Kellys Korner on 8/1. They were ultimately the 2 places along my roadtrip easiest to pop into. I really wanted to try Adolfs, Barbill and Wingnutz but didnt have the time.
Duffs had the best wings ive ever had. Presentation, taste, crispiness. All were excellent. I ordered the #2 lunch combo Hot with fries. I didnt even know what to do with the plate below the bucket. Haha. A+.
Kellys Korner was a bit of a let down. I ordered 10 or 12 Hot. Seemed like the local dive bar and the wing order came out super slow ha. Thats fine, but then the locals drinking at 12noom were all teasing me like i was a high roller for ordering wings. I dunno the experience, taste, presentation, crispiness all were subpar. 6/10.
Overall very happy i got the chance to try Duffs and cant wait to return to try a few more.

Lol you went to the wrong Kellys Korner unfortunately. The one with the amazing wings is on Delaware ave and spelled Kellys Korner. You went to Kelly's Corner on Niagara Falls Bvld

He went to Kelly's Corner on Buffalo Avenue in Niagara Falls. Neighborhood dive bar known for their fish fry's, not wings.

Whats the plate under the bucket for? Haha

u/AdventurousAbility30 7d ago
Probably for the servers to carry the bucket with one hand, so they don't hold the bucket by the rim

Ok on the ride home 8/16 i drove to Scubbers Hot Wings in Colonie/Albany. After a 6 hour ride i get there and there are handwritten closed signs on the doors and windows. Just said CLOSED. I think the soda fountain had a sign too. I heard they had super spicy wings (atomic) & was so let down when they were unexpectedly closed.

They literally closed like two weeks ago. The owner died and his wife and kids kept it going but wore out. You might be able to find some of their sauce tho, they bottled it.

I'm just replying to the comment above to drive Bar-Bill home in your head. Make sure you go to the one in East Aurora if you're making the trip. The one in Williamsville is good but not the same.
Lemon Pepper wings are my jam but all of them are good. The family always makes a point to go there whenever we're in town.. Even over Duffs or the Anchor bar. Mom used to work at a lot of places around town in the 80/90's but not there. She knew the owner. Dude sold it in the 2000's but kept it family owned and run. SHE REFUSES TO GO ANYWHERE for wings today other than there when she's in town.
So it's worth the shout out for sure if you've never been

You got lucky on the Duffs, those still look really good. Usually only the original is great tho.
Try Gabriel’s Gate, Nine Eleven, and Adolfs next time.

I'm from Niagara Falls. I don't eat wings or pizza in Niagara Falls I go to Buffalo. You went to a Duffs franchise and I never had wings at this Kelly's. Nobody in NF makes their own sauce it's all just Frank's so there's no difference

No it should not

u/Chicken-picante 6d ago
I’ve never been. I just know it’s always on the list of wing spots in Buffalo.
It usually like anchor bar, Gabriel’s gate, duffs, and others.

Mammoser’s in *Hamburg was to die for. I still dream about those wings.

It’s been addressed as the wrong place but if I strolled up on that Kelly’s Corner I’d keep on going. No thanks.

u/Doublebaconandcheese 6d ago
I wanted so bad for you to say they were overrated. Now I have to add this to my list if I’m ever in Buffalo

Don’t waste your time with bar bill. They don’t serve a traditional buffalo wing.
The wings you did get look awesome.

u/FrightWig67 6d ago
If you go to the real Duff's (Sheridan/Millersport) and order "hot", you may end up with something totally different than what's in your picture. If you go to the real Kelly's Korner (Delaware/Hartwell) and order "hot", you'll end up with a brownish, almost-BBQ sauce. I'm still laughing at that "Kelly's Corner" pic. It's so downwardly mobile.

Fun fact… when duff’s opened their Texas location, the OG hot is medium in Texas. No clue if it’s as good as the original duff’s locations, but I do know they’re the best wings I’ve had in Texas.
Source: I was a waiter on day 1 and got to be involved in menu tasting and such.

Let’s face it. Just because they are called buffalo wings does not mean you have to go to buffalo to have good ones

Anchor Bar 🎤 drop

u/DFVSUPERFAN 7d ago
Anchor Bar wings are trash, they have their place in history but they're not worth it for more than that.

Not sure what’s going on in slide 4 buts that’s def not Kelly’s Korner, lol. Looks like you went to the wrong place. Also all the Duffs are individually owned so they’re all different, but the original location is generally considered to be the best.
Next time you come back try bar bill, 9-11, or adolfs - you’ll be blown away
