Josh Auringer: Actually the wings are awesome. As well as the brisket, pulled pork and ribs. Its how bbq is done. Good riddance to Famous Daves and Smokey Bones. There simply is no other.
Josh: Great BBQ and nice atmosphere. Always busy, make a reservation first.
Kristen Carpentieri: The ribs and brisket were amazing!! I love the habanero bbq sauce on the table...nachos were great too!
Scott Howard: Memphis Pulled pork sammich is a must. Cheaper, delicious, and just as filling as the full dinner version, which just has an extra side.
Derek M: Forget Dinosaur BBQ, this is hands down, the best BBQ in Buffalo! Consistently amazing food and the Mac and Cheese is the best you'll ever have!
Quinton Parke-Thomas: Pork is amazing! Brisket is also very good. Don't skip the Mac n cheese though, it's required eats here.

Scott van Pletzen-Rands: The chicken wings are the BEST! Smoked and dry-fried, perfectly balanced with spicy-tangy sauce and tender as can be. Same with the ribs, but be hungry! New favorite neighborhood hang-out!
Steph Fell: Best smoked BBQ ribs i've EVER had
Steve Poland: The backroom darts are not free, they open the BBQ smoker door continuously and torture you til you buy the goodness. #AHH

Jo Ann Sabbagh: Hot spicy bbq wings were the best I ever had.
Shanmuga Prabhu: The oldest and best place in Buffalo for authentic Buffalo Wings. Ranch and BBQ were too good.
Tyr Legend: Good! Definitely one of the better wings I've had, and I try the wings everywhere. Hot = really good, BBQ = awesome with a nice hint of spice. Suicide has a little kick to it, but not much flavor
Bill Shaflucas: Try "The Dalton". BBQ Chicken breast with hot sauce, lettuce, tomato, bacon and American Cheese! Awesome!
Amy G.: BBQ Cajun wings(finished on the grill😋) Best in WNY!
Emily DiLonardo: The bartenders are the nicest!

B H: When in Buffalo, NY you try Wings! Food was tasty, but the ambiance was too old and it had a funny old smell, not appetizing. Otherwise Onion soup & bbq chicken wings were delish!
Dardra Drake: The ribs n burgers are the best
Christine Szudzik: Love the salads with lots of chicken and what seems to be a pound of feta cheese!
