With my cousin in town for the Bills wildcard game we decided to do a little wing tour between Saturday and this morning. Hit most of our favorites and a couple new places. In reverse order, heres where we went:
Kellys Korner for lunch today(Monday)
Wellington Pub after the Bills game
Nine-Eleven Tavern – saturday
Sonny Reds – saturday
Gene McCarthys – saturday
Adolph's – saturday
Duffs – saturday
America's Best Wings ordered these at like 11:30 Friday night after his flight landed an hour
and a half late and we were unable to find a decent open bar kitchen in North Buffalo.
Nine-Eleven and Kelly's Korner were tied atop our rankings with Adolph's and McCarthys being nearly perfect too. Sonny Reds was a pretty big disappointment given the hype we've seen for the place. It was certainly well above average, but not worthy of the top tier rankings they seem to get. Americas Best Wings were quite possibly buffalos worst wings. Duffs and Wellington both had solid showings, albeit nothing spectacular.

What a great idea they all look tasty
Great post. Lots of wings with some insight too. Go Bills.
Tell us more about those togarashi wings
So, the 28 wings would be 35 to 40 anywhere else
God damn….. You are living my dream.
Go Bills!
Omg, the jealousy is so real right now.. Have fun for all of us..
How many wings would you estimate you guys are over the entire weekend?
I visited Buffalo a few years back and didn’t eat a single wing. I did however consume a beef on weck for 3 of the meals.

They look good , and maybe the price is just better or something, but nothing really seems that much better than a handful of places I know where I live . Not the first post I’ve seen from Buffalo to make me feel like there’s nothing worth visiting Buffalo.
if it ain’t Franks it ain’t buffalo
