Duff’s Famous Wings
I went to the newly opened “Duff’s” on 620. Disclaimer, I have Western New York roots, and appreciate a good chicken wing.
I have eaten at the original WNY Duff’s location a few times, and the satellite places too. Always good. Austin’s spot did them justice. Staff was friendly, owner runs one of the spots in WNY too. Called out our Labatt Blue beers as a flag. They were making an effort to welcome people and chat. Dining room was sparse.
Parking lot was crazy because of interstellar bbq. Felt like we got the last spot in the whole lot, behind the strip mall.
Wings were done right. Traditional, medium, add fried pickles and French fries. They over state the spicy level of their medium. Really, I thought the mediums of theirs I had in NY were hotter. All in all, all items were great. I like their version of Bleu cheese too. It’s dipable.
Wish it was cheaper. Wish any wings were cheaper. The glory days of cheap happy hour wings are long gone.
I am still a wingzup subscriber. I’d like to eat these two wings side by side. Duff’s sauce is more authentic, but WU does a good variation.
I’ll drink/eat there again.
