Best Places to Eat Buffalo Wings in Buffalo

Most people wonder why buffalo wings are named after buffalo if they are chicken wings. Some people cloam that the answer is that the famous tangy BBQ sauce usually found on the wings was invented in Buffalo, NY. So why not try this classic American food in the city it was invented in?

Gabriels Gate

Most people will agree that this is the best spot in town. The meat to sauce ratio is just perfect and the atmosphere is as well. Gabriels Gate is a tavern famous for its wings, and the animals and Native American memorabilia hanging on the wooden cabin walls will make you feel like your in an old-time tavern.

Elmo’s

Elmo’s Bar began in 1985 and without flair and advertising like other wing places, it might look like a regular neighborhood bar about to go out of business. Their famous “double-dip” wing is what people rave about and keep them in the top 5 in any discussion.

Duff’s Famous Wings

“Medium is hot, Medium Hot is very hot, Hot is very, very hot.” This is the slogan on all of their wing buckets and throughout the bar, and Duff’s is perhaps the most successful chain in the area. The original location is in Amherst although there are now quite a few throughout the city, in Niagara Falls, and even in Canada.
