Bar-Bill Tavern · East Aurora
The consensus benchmark: shatteringly crisp skin, succulent meat, and expertly brushed-on sauce.
Gabriel's Gate · Allentown
Allentown tavern; well-sauced with a tangy kick and a perfectly crisp exterior.
Nine-Eleven Tavern · South Buffalo
Pure old-school South Buffalo wings with a brittle, golden crust. A 2025 Buffalo's Best winner.
Duff's Famous Wings · Amherst
Hefty, nose-tingling wings that arrive piping hot in faux-wood bowls; the heat scale is no joke.
Elmo's · Getzville
Famous for the double-dip wing: fried and sauced, then coated in another layer and grilled.
