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.

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

lol so I had to look it up and that is 100% the wrong place and looks to be in Niagara Falls. Check the spelling - Kelly’s Corner is not Kelly’s Korner. I wonder if the people were laughing at you knowing out of towners screw that up??? Anyways, Duffs is criminally underrated. Bar Bill is the gold standard IMO but I love a good Duffs trip.

This comment needs to go to the top. Went to a bizarro world Kelly’s and one of the “chain” Duff’s? Very odd choices/mistakes to travel all the way from out of town for.

TLDR. Niagara Falls isn’t Buffalo

u/Dr_Coochie_Inspector 7d ago

I did an almost 8000 mile roadtrip to see a bunch of national & state parks and tried to add some wings in the mix that were near my route. Oh well.

Lmao im on mile 6000 rn doing the same thing and also went to that Kelly's today. My experience was a bit better though, all the locals were buying rounds for the whole bar so I got a few free drinks and we shot the shit all afternoon.

I Had Bar Bill like 2 weeks ago and they’re tied for the best wings I’ve ever had. Only because I don’t want to dethrone my local spot that makes a 10/10 wing. The hot was really hot. The waitress warned us and she wasn’t wrong, they’re hotter than the average hot wing, but insanely good.

u/CameronCrazy1984 7d ago

I get bar Bill hot maybe once a year just to remind myself not to do it the rest of the year. Medium hot is just fine

Going to be in Buffalo for the bills/Saints game… my parents were born in Buffalo so I’m sure they will want to go to the Anchor Bar but I’m trying to convince them of Bar Bill based on everyone’s reviews
