You Are Ordering Wings at Buff’s

Published on Wednesday, June 23, 2010, by Joyce Slaton / Edit Post

There are restaurants with so many good items on the menu that you feel guilty ordering the same thing on repeat visits. And then there are places where everyone's there for exactly the same thing. At Buff's, you are there for the wings.

MC Slim JB lays it down: "Buffalo wings as they're done in Buffalo, NY, are pretty simple: Deep-fried wings (no batter), sauced with butter and Frank's hot sauce, served with crudités and blue-cheese dressing on the side. Buff's does a very good version of this canonical style."

Or, if you prefer, order the honey hots, which MC Slim JB judges to be Buff's best-seller despite the fineness of the classic version.

Discuss: Are Buff's Pub wings really all that?

    I generally try to approach a wing review with an open mind and an empty stomach, but for the first time I really wanted to dislike the wings I was about to review.When people put something on such a high pedestal, you naturally want to be the one to knock it off. Unfortunately for my ego (but not for my taste buds), I am going to have to get in line with the Buff’s crowd and concede that this unassuming hole-in-the-wall bar serves a mean Buffalo wing. http://shandeh.com/?p=1798-COLLAPSE
