The sauce tastes like ketchup with a little hot sauce. It's very strange... And there's way too much sauce. It's like eating gobbly gook. They're the smallest wings on earth! I took pictures of a wing next to a quarter: the quarter was wider. And it wasn't just this one wing, they were all that small. I posted them under the business pictures. How can a wing place find such small wings to serve? Are they aborted chickens, or chicks? Are they even chickens? Their spicy wings aren't even hot... then they have "suicide" wings where they're not really any hotter--they just douse them in more sauce--AND ADD GIARDINARE. how disgusting!!! (it might be good drunk food or something, but don't call them buffalo wings) THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE BLUE CHEESE!!! I suppose asking for carrots to go with celery (like you'd get in... Buffalo) would be totally out of the question if they're too cheap to even stock blue cheese! This place shouldn't be allowed to associate itself with wings OR Buffalo, let alone both. The staff wasn't very friendly... I was trying to read the menu and got rushed into ordering. Once we sat down, we overheard a group of people arguing on the other side of the eating area... not just arguing, but standing up shouting in each other faces, ready to fight. the kind of thing where you debated if you should get up and leave, or get ready to dial 911. guess who it was? the staff. The only redeeming thing about this place was the waffle fries... they were pretty darn good. They weren't exactly cheap... An order of wings, waffle fries w/ cheese, and two drinks came out to be $17. I want my $17 back. Really. They were that bad. It was one of those meals where you sat and debated if you wanted to finish, or if you would just abort and go elsewhere... we ended up eating more later I'm pretty sure. I've had better wings at Applebee's. If you think the wings here are the best ever, you're really missing out.
Pros: Waffle fries
Cons: Nasty small wings with bad ketchupy sauce, not even spicey, no blue cheese, questionable employees.

Buff' Joe's is the best wing place in the city, hands down. Whether you like spicy, mild, or anything in between, this is the place for you.
