Buffalo Joe's

CLOSE to the Original, but...

The first time I ever went to Buffalo Joe's was in my senior year of high school back in 99-00. We used to hang out there almost after every "retreat" we had. Now, I really liked the food at the original Evanston location, but it was HELL to find parking AND the place wasn't big enough to fit 50 plus students. So when I was driving down Howard by the Red Line stop and saw my old favorite having a location here, I was relieved knowing that I wouldn't have to drive to Evanston and get lost on Sheridan Ave. The wings here are just as I expected with the portions about the same. But here's the trade off that this as well as other locations have; no where else will you find the waffle cut fries other than the original location, a BIG bummer for me. To make up for it, this location offers rib tips which are really good as well (their 3rd location has fried shrimp). Hmm...waffle fries for ribs, is that a fair exchange (keeping in mind, they do have "regular cut" fries)??? I really can't decide. All I know is the food is good, especially those wings. Come on by next time you're in Roger's Park area, but try both locations and see for yourself if the trip to Evanston is worth more for the fries.

• Pros: parking, location, rib tips instead of waffle fries
• Cons: rib tips instead of waffle fries, wish menu was same in ALL locations
