Bar-Bill North

Very busy place sometimes. It’s a lively place full of great food. The Barbecue pizza was so fresh and probably best bar pizza I ever had. The wings are always extra crispy. The sweet potato waffle fries are always crispier than the wings… somehow. Definitely worth the try if you’re nearby.

Weekend game night at Bar-Bill North. We were number 12 on the waiting list and it took about 30 minutes, which honestly wasn’t bad for how packed it was. Service was great , friendly and fast once we got seated. The beef on weck didn’t really hit for me, but the wings more than made up for it. Medium had that classic Buffalo flavor and the honey butter BBQ was sweet, buttery, and addictive. Portion sizes were solid and prices fair, definitely the kind of place that feels right for a casual night out.

Stopped in work a few friends for some wings and fellowship. Some of the best wings are made here. I ordered the honey BBQ wings. Never been disappointed here, no matter what flavor wings you order, you can be assured they will be done right, and tasted delicious every time. If you never tried Bar-Bill chicken wings, you owe it yourself to try them.

We almost missed our flight home—but honestly, it would’ve been worth it. Because there was no way we were leaving Buffalo without trying the famous wings at Bar-Bill Tavern. Every local we met said, “Skip the tourist traps—this is where the magic happens.” And they were absolutely right. These wings? Perfectly crispy, sauced like they’ve been blessed by the Buffalo gods, and paired with blue cheese so good it could make a ranch-lover rethink their life choices. Add in a cold Coke and some celery sticks for “health,” and you’ve got yourself a spiritual experience. The place has that true Buffalo vibe—laid-back, loud, and proud of it. You can just tell this is where locals come to argue about the Bills and brag about their wings. If you want the real deal, not the tourist version, this is the spot. 10/10 would risk missing my flight again.

The wings here are amazing! I personally really like the medium sauce, and Cajun-honey butter bbq. The shoe string fries are crispy and well-seasoned. The service can be really slow at times. I would recommend coming here for lunch instead of dinner if you value being seated quickly.

Regardless of day, time of day or size of your party, you will wait for a table. That speaks to the quality of the food and service. Best (and biggest) wings hands down, in the country 🍗🍗🍗 Be ready for HOT, don’t be a wimp, get the extra hot cajun 🥵🥵 and tell them you can handle it 😎 you're responsible for YOU (if you can't handle it, it's your own fault).

Hands down the best wings and chicken I've ever had!!! The entire family agreed. The wing sauce was a perfect blend of spicy and sweet, and hand brushed on. The chicken was fresh and super tender. The wings were huge! They also make their own blue cheese sauce which was delicious. The fries were soft and crispy, seasoned and excellent. I was skeptical about whether wings in Buffalo New York would actually be better than Chicago and am shocked that they definitely are at least at this place. The place gets crowded so try and avoid prime dinner and lunch times. We were there at around 2:30 in the afternoon and got seated right away. Staff was very nice. Highly recommend!!!!

Great for bar food, the server saved me from going with another customers recommendation to get the very hot wings (or whatever they are called). The hot wings were VERY hot, but good. The beef was great, the cheese curds were too bready.

We've been to the place where Buffalo wings were supposedly invented. Yes, they were pretty good-just not memorable. Reading an old copy of a "Buffalo Foodies Guide", I saw Bar Bills mentioned. We went, loved it and have been back many times as we journey from home to Rochester, NY or back. In fact, we plan our meals so that we can be hungry when we hit Buffalo. Our most recent visit was late on a Friday night and the place was packed with a wait., Twenty minutes later, we got our table and ordered lemon pepper and hot and spicy wings. Wings were extremely meaty. Loved the contrast between the subtle flavor of lemon pepper and the bold hot and spicy BBQ. Simply a great late dinner. Service despite how busy it was was excellent. All of our previous visits have been at or around lunch. At night, Bar Bills is extremely loud and noisy. Not a negative-just an observation. I can safely say that Bar Bills has the very best wings we've ever had and they remain consistent from visit to visi

This was a great place to kick off our short trip to Buffalo. We had asked several locals about places to find the best wings, and while answers vary and that topic is one of heavy debate in Buffalo, everyone at least mentioned this spot. It was convenient for us after leaving the airport and on our way to our hotel, so we made it our very first stop. Definitely did not regret that. It's a big restaurant, but I'm sure it fills up often, especially on game days. After seating our server came over right away, got drink orders, and put in our appetizer of garlic cheese curds. We also ordered a Beef on Weck to split, 10 hot buffalo wings, and 10 hot honey bbq cajun spice wings on Brandon, the Buffalo Yelp CMs, recommendation. Cheese curds came out fast, and the beef on weck (already halved) right after. The cheese curds were so delicious. Perfectly golden fried, robust garlic flavor, and the cheese had a great flavor and mouth feel. The Beef on Weck was good, but we had others while on the trip that were better, so that ended up being our last favorite thing here.. but still tasty. That said, these were our favorite wings and bleu cheese of the trip. The hot buffalo was an excellent example of a classic... but I was totally blown away by the flavor on the hot honey bbq cajun wings. Their cajun seasoning had a wonderful flavor, hints of sweetness, and complimented the sauce like a glove. A little bit of their bleu cheese dip really made them special, not to mention, wonderfully presented and the fact that all the wings were plump and juicy. Someone took their time to pick out great wings before making these, and I appreciate that. Great experience, food, and ambiance. Hit on all front. Would return without question!

This was our first stop in our trip to Buffalo, and it may have been my favorite. These are hands down the best wings I've ever had, they are sooooo good. We got the Buffalo medium and Cajun honey butter BBQ. The blue cheese was also fantastic, we dipped our chips in it which was really tasty. The wings were serve fresh and crispy, and were the perfect size. The beef on weck was good but lacking some flavor. We also got waffle fries which were just okay and served kinda cold. But honestly, I don't care because the wings were that good. I would come back to Buffalo just to eat them again.

First time at their Clarence location . Picked my Grandson and son from the airport and they wanted to go here. We all ordered beef on weck regular,20 wings,soft pretzels,and pizza logs. Maybe we received a bad batch of roast beef because there was a lot of chewy meat. The Pretzels were great and so were the pizza logs. The wings were small and I would rate them as average compared to other restaurants. Our service was good. Loud inside but a cute decor.

Had to come here. When Josh Allen says it's his fav spot for wings in Buffalo, then you come here to try the wings! We landed at the airport and headed straight here for lunch. We loved the vibe of the place, with all the exposed brick. We ordered a beef on weck and wings. Both were so so good! I just love being in Buffalo because they have the best food. Our bartender was very sweet and we also bought merch before we left. Next time we're in town, we will be back!

The place is pretty big, there is a parking lot with enough spaces. We went on a Monday about 530, no wait to sit, though the food took a bit a time. We were sat in the enclosed patio area, the doors were open though there were screens. It was a bit windy so it was a little chilly. It was also a little loud in the room, there were also a few tvs in the area playing sports. We got the Honey Butter BBQ Chicken Fingers, the sauce is amazing and we would definitely recommend. The chicken itself was good, the breading was not too thick and the size was good. We each ate about 2 and half of them so there were left overs. Overall, would definitely recommend. We also got fried pickles which were great. The breading was not too thick and there were a good amount of pickles. Another person I was with got the Medium Chicken Wings, they were good. There was a good amount of sauce on the wings and the blue cheese tasted amazing. Overall, we would recommend vising especially of you're looking for wings.

Josh Allen is spot on with his wing rankings - Bar-Bill is hands down one of the best wings spot in Buffalo! Quickly has become a must get every time we're in town. We like coming to this location. Great vibes and atmosphere here. Plenty of TV's with games on all throughout. It's always packed, so be prepared to wait. The service is excellent, though, and the food comes out pretty quick, too. The wings are fantastic! Tons of options and sauces to pick from. I would definitely recommend their Medium and Honey Butter BBQ! Their blue cheese is bomb as well. Cannot wait to come back try more flavors! They have a great drink menu with a good amount of draft beer options as well! A lot of good local brews. Overall, Bar-Bill is one of my favorite wing spots. Add it to your list - you won't be disappointed!

Having been multiple times. I can't say enough of how good the wings are here. I always get the Cajun honey butter BBQ flats and they are outstanding . Beer selection pretty damn good too. If you ever are around the area I highly recommend Bar bills for the best wings I have ever had. Great service as well

Honestly top 1 place in my opinion for wings in Buffalo. The wings are the perfect size with the perfect crunch and seasoning. The blue cheese is amazing and homemade & the wings are just amazing! I have tried various types but no one does it like Bar Bill. The service is always great and quick. Servers are awesome here. Wait times aren't too bad on busy days. The ambiance of this location is nice and spacious with a patio deck open during the warmer months. Overall very great place to go to in Buffalo. 10/10!

The wings here are the best in Buffalo. Always perfectly crispy and sauced to perfection. Homemade blue cheese is also very good. Just be prepared to wait a bit for a table. Well worth the wait!

It is loud in there - get off my lawn!! But seriously, I'm not that old and it's really loud in there. Cool building, good wings, great Beef on Weck. Very touristy oddly enough. Service was slow and then fast and then the waitress wouldn't leave me alone so it was strange. And as I said, the building is cool.

By the amount of cars in the parking lot we thought we were going to have a long wait, however we were surprised that there were 2 floors, we were seated right away. I was hearing great things about the chicken wings, and they didn't disappoint, they were crispy and moist inside, they were beautifully arranged on the plate. The wings were absolutely amazing, I see why they are the number 1 wing spot. The waitress was excellent, it was a great place to dine, it was just a great atmosphere. The menu is not that large but they do have some excellent options

We waited for a bit for our party to be seated, and were sat in a really tight booth for 11 people. Otherwise the service was good, and the food came quick. Beef on weck for the table obviously- it was really salty though. Personally my favorite part was the drinks- bomb pop and lemonade were delicious!

Fortunate to have grown up with Buffalo and its legendary wings in our backyard, my list of hotspots is spot on. Bar-Bill did not disappoint--in fact, we were pleasantly surprised by the subtle nuances in presentation and flavor, which noticeably enhanced our experience. Just as importantly, we felt at home the moment we stepped inside. The place was busy, and we had to wait a few minutes, but our greeter worked quickly to get us seated. Here's something rare--we found ourselves talking about the great service on the drive home and even the next day, specifically about our server and how good she was. These may possibly be the best wings I've had the pleasure of enjoying to date! My only hesitation was with the spice level. I've always ordered hot (I'm known as a hot pepper enthusiast), and I was told their hot was truly hot--so I was suggested the medium hot instead. Not next time--it'll be hot for sure! Lol. My wife had the Honey Dijon, which had the ever-so-slightest heat to them--they were also great. The building, built in 1858, with its brick interior, adds to the warm and inviting ambiance. Bar-Bill is a definite must! Saluti

Hands down the biggest, most tender,absolutely delicious beef on weck even!! Thinly sliced, melt in your mouth ,heavenly goodness piled high!!! Family members said the wings were awesome too!, big, cooked perfectly and smothered in delicious sauce! Nothing compares!

Both their wings and their beef on weck are among the absolute best in Buffalo. Their honey butter BBQ wings are the best bbq wings in Buffalo. The northtowns Clarence location has a lot more room and tables than the original location in East Aurora but still gets extremely busy often. But, even when super busy they are typically pretty efficient service wise and have a texting system to alert you easily when your table is ready. They usually have some good local beers on tap too like EBC Blueberry Wheat and Resurgence Loganberry Wit. They also have a pretty decent house lager. Always going to be one of my top choices when craving wings and beef on weck.

The freshest wings I have ever had! Buffalo is to wings, what Baltimore is to crab cakes, and Bar-Bill is the place. The place is def a hot spot, the bar stools were all taken up, so I chilled a bit and came back to an open seat. Glad it stuck to it! Great bar service from Meghan and the other young lady. Cheerful, prompt, and gave good sauce instruction based on my heat tolerance. Glad I stuck w the medium hot. (Their heat level scale is not the same as other places). Will return when the snow melts!

The wings and fries were good but not as good as the east Aurora spot. The service was excellent our waiter was super friendly and attentive. We waited about an hour or so for a table, it was a busy evening. The ambiance loud, there's a bar area as well. Family friendly restaurant. Definitely check them out if your in the area.

Always crowded because it's so good! Small menu but when you do something great- don't overdo! Always tender, melt in your mouth beef, great wings and tenders. Love the fried cheese curds! My place to go when craving beef on weck!

Bar-Bill has been on my list of places to try for a few years now. I finally had the chance to go and I went twice in 1 week! I got lemon pepper wings both times and they were delicious each time, perfect temperature, perfect flavor, perfect crisp! The fries were perfect and the cheese bread was delicious with and without the sauces that they give you, I also dipped it in my ranch and it was good! I will be going back.

Great roast beef on a weck roll. Wings are large and good too (just a bit pricier). Restaurant is pretty large with 2 floors and a separate bar area. There is a parking lot off Main St behind restaurant . Bathrooms are conveniently located in a hallway in middle of the restaurant .We had fast service and enjoy the sign in and get a text when table is ready system. Our local draft beer came quickly and was served nice and cold . Which we both enjoyed. There is an upper level patio to enjoy those nice days or evenings.

The food is always so great ! The blue cheese is amazing ! The service was great felt a bit bad for the waiter because of the amount of blue cheese we needed, because it's just that great. It's very loud in there but there is a lot of seating. One of the top wing places in Buffalo !

I visited 7 places during my wing tour of Buffalo - across 2 days. This was my first stop. After seeing all the rave reviews on Twitter and given its proximity to the airport, I knew this was going to be my first stop. I got the hot wings. When I ordered, the server asked "have you been here before?... because our hot is really hot." She was right. I would say they had the hottest wing of the 7 places I tried. But not too hot. Surprisingly, there was a sweetness as well. The blue cheese was on point. This place looked newer. Plenty of parking and friendly service. The hostess was awesome. Highly recommend.

Met a friend from Buffalo here and finally tried the famous Beef on Weck and it was delicious. A mound of thin sliced beef with a salty delicious bun. Dip in the aujous they provide with it and eff it up like I did. Comes with potatoe chips rather than fries but you can order fries for a price. I ordered pizza logs and they didn't disappoint. Never heard of em before I came to NY. Excellent customer service btw.

This place was running like a well oiled machine. It was the height of brunch/lunch. We were seated immediately by the staff. Our waitress was extremely polite and friendly, and got our drink and food order turned in very quickly. The wait for the food was not long at all, and when you're dining with a child, you know that things like that are important. The chicken fingers were very hot crispy and perfectly sauced. Bleu cheese... definitely get some extra.. it's that good. The beer better fries were not everything I had hoped for, but they were very good And the beef on weck was very well cooked and the perfect size, it definitely was mini( I would recommend just getting the small at that point.) Overall, a very pleasant experience, I would definitely add it to the list of places to go back to. The only negative I have is that the floors very slick upstairs.

I had to get wings before I left NY, and reddit told me this is the best black to get Buffalo wings in Buffalo. It did not disappoint. Definitely get the Cajun Honey Butter BBQ wings and the beer battered fries. Vibes were dope, service was top notch, and the place was very clean and welcoming. If im ever back in Buffalo, I'll be back.

The wings were rather decent crispy,meaty and not over sauced just the way I like and I was especially loving the homemade blue cheese with the chunks of blue. Great service &cold beer and the restaurant was spacious if your out this way give em a try!

The Best Delicious wings I have every eaten!!! My mouth is still drooling just thinking about it. The blue cheese dressing was also delicious. Service was good. Great atmosphere.

We came into Buffalo for one purpose; trying the wings from Bar Bill. 100/100 our expectations were met! Wings had a really great crunch, ordered Medium & spicy bbq It wasn't too busy, it was a Wednesday(7/31) & went in for a late lunch. Ambiance: 10/10 Service: 9/10 We can't wait to come back to Buffalo and eat more off the menu

Best buffalo wings we found! We went searching for the best! We went to three places and this one won! These were crispy and had great flavor. Perfect crunch and the blue cheese was nice and crumbly. There was a bar available also for extra seating. Our server was so nice and the atmosphere had that old school vibe. It was a fun place to hang out. Nice and clean.

The gold standard. Nowhere else compares in terms of the service, quality of food and consistency each visit.

Had dinner the other night. The place was packed so the noise level was high and tables were close together. We had the house lager which is delicious. Our wings came out hot and both kinds were delicious. We will absolutely be back!

This was our first visit to Bar-Bill and we did not leave disappointed. We stopped in for lunch, and had no wait. I suspect it's because we arrived three minutes before they opened because before we left things were getting really loud and busy. So note to self, we go when they open. The mild chicken wings were mild and crispy with plenty of sauce for my liking. I don't want them dripping with sauce, so I was satisfied; the fries were crispy. My husband had beef on weck, he said it was good, but after tasting one of my wings, he said he would get wings next time. Same, I am all about the chicken wings!

This was single handedly the best chicken wings I have ever had! I got the lemon pepper wings and I also wanted to try the tenders. Both were incredible!!! Service was wonderful and easy location with lots of parking. Can't wait to come back!!! Oh and check out that presentation!

Arguably the best wings in Buffalo- of course everyone has their favorites but this easily makes my top 3! Tons of fun sauce options, Cajun BBQ is one of my favorites. I do like to get double sauce for these wings as I don't feel there is an enough sauce for my preference otherwise. The waffle fries are delish. We got the fried pickles once that were just okay. Great beer selection, if you go on a weekend be prepared for a decent wait (1-1.5 hours) but you can grab a drink and sit outside if the weather is nice. I do feel like every time I got a booth it was weirdly sticky on the seat but when we got regular chairs I haven't had this problem.

OMG the quest for the best wings in Buffalo was achieved. First, if you're coming with more than yourself either arrive early or come together as they are so popular that lot will fill up and second, they will not seat you until your party is together. Whatever obstacle or hurdle is in place these wings are worth it. Ten for $16.95, for the quality of these wings I'd gladly pay more. If you're a conossieur of flats they got you cover $3 upcharge. If you're a drums eater like I it'll only cost you $1 more. The wings are sufficiently moist, I requested medium, finally a place that does medium right, (not too hot and not too mild just right) and the flavor OMG delish. Finally, they've partnered with a local craft brewer, Ellicottville Brewing. I enjoyed the Bar-Bill House Pilsner and Blueberry Wheat Ale, which both pair nicely with Buffalo Wings. I will most definitely return when travels bring me to Western NY. Thank you for a memorable dinner.

When my family came to visit from Maine, I knew I had to give them the full Buffalo experience, so off to Bar Bill we went! But first, I had to warn them: "Parking here is like the Hunger Games--may the odds be ever in your favor." But hey, no great feast comes without a little challenge, right? I took them on a culinary tour de force, starting with Pizza Logs--because nothing says "Welcome to Buffalo" like deep-fried everything. Then came Beef on Weck, and I had to reassure them that, yes, "weck" is a real word and not something I just made up. Finally, we arrived at the holy grail: the wings. The service was so spot-on that I started to wonder if they somehow knew we were important food tourists (or maybe they just saw the confused out-of-towners vibe). The food was, of course, fantastic. And those wings? Let's just say my family is now seriously considering moving to Buffalo, purely for the food. So, mission accomplished--Buffalo has officially won them over, one wing at a time!

Great service, great food and great people. Definitely a Buffalo staple and a must visit for anyone visiting the area. They feature some of the best wings in WNY and an absolutely delicious Beef on Weck. Once you walk inside you are hit with Buffalo history in a classic Buffalo sports bar style venue. They have plenty to seating but can get extremely busy on weekends. I will say they have consistently been my second favorite wing joints.

Shoutout to our server Julianna for giving the best recommendations to us. Buffalo places always have incredible wings and they battle for the top of the podium. However I think bar bill took first place in my book. The wings were incredible, large, and oh so flavorful. They were not dry at all. They have an ample cider selection for those who are gluten free. Julianna recommended the donut cider and it was delicious. It wasn't too sweet or tart at all, had great flavor. Also the pizza logs have an option for "bar bill style" which gets you logs with any of their sauces. Julianna recommended the Cajun spicy bbq and they were some of the best things I have ever eaten. The restaurant is super clean and feels right at home. Definitely will be back!

Three words. Beef on Weck This sandwich is amazing. The beef is perfectly cooked and the bread has a light consistency with a nice drizzle of coarse salt. Dipped into the sauce... It's a heavenly experience. I also highly recommend the chicken wings and beet salad. Bar-Bill is the ONLY place I'll eat Beef on Weck. The roast beef is consistently high quality and the bread is perfection. Five thousand stars easy! We will never visit Niagara without a stop here. Thank you!

Great food and great service. Had the beef on weck, was amazing. Had the wings last time I was there, they were some of the best I've had.

Happy that we decided to make it here on a Friday. We decided to go early do a little happy hour and of course eat some wings. There was a 30 minute wait even at 5 PM. Parking lot was full. We were able to find some seats at the bar. Bartender was great very nice and helpful. We opted for the medium hut and honey butter barbecue wings. My husband got the Cajun honey butter barbecue, which is a favorite there. The wings were delicious. The medium hot did have a kick to it. I kind of wish I got the hot wings. My husband said these were the best wings he's ever had. Definitely recommend checking it out.

I sat and read several reviews like you might be doing now. You'll quickly find many opinions, more opinions and different places. We were only in the area for one night and had to have some "Buffalo" wings. I'm so happy we chose Bar-Bill. It was a great experience and the wings were delicious. If I'm ever in the area again, this is where I'm going. I'm just not sure what I'm going to do now, because we usually go for wings once a week. My problem is I live in Florida and I've now realized the wings in my area are trash.. thanks Bar-Bill

I ordered the Cajun chicken wings which is a dry rub. I thought the food was very good and always comes out hot. One of my favorite places to order wings in Buffalo as a local.

The times certainly have changed...Growing up in wny I remember going to dive bars and paying $5 for 10 wings and even finding 10 cent wing nights...The wings would be good too...Nowadays these places act like they are selling lobster by the prices they are charging...If you are going to have the audacity to charge an arm and a leg for chicken well then they better damn well better be cooked the right way...My friend and I can eat a lot..we each got 20 wings, split an order of pizza rolls, and he got a pop...I drank water...Our bill was $92 !!!... I ordered mine extra crispy...Out of the first 20 wings she brought me 4 were crispy..She replaced those with another 20...Out of that 20 only 8 were crispy...I know what it takes to make extra crispy wings as I used to be in the restaurant business...I used to make custom wing sauces for my customers...There were several instances where someone got 10 wings from me and they were so good that they would buy another 10 wings...There is absolute zero excuse for a place that charges these prices and specializes in wings but they can't make a crispy wing...Sounds like Bar-bill has gotten too big for their own britches...Very very poor management here...I'll never come back to this place again....Edit: oh ya, the pizza logs were very small and seemed to be of the standard frozen variety.. $10 for 4 ...again over-priced.

I grew up with the Duff's vs Anchor Bar debate, but this restaurant is up there in competition for best wings. I absolutely loved the medium wings as they had an unexpected sweetness behind the tingling. And the Sicilian had shredded Parmesan on them and looked extra fancy. I loved the presentation with the wings in a circle around the dip, instead of piles like you normally get. And the drinks had a great variety. They did charge $1 for extra sauce that we weren't expecting and they should have said when bringing it out, and when ordering 20 wings split in 2 flavors, we were charged for 10 and 10 individually, which was a few more dollars, but overall, prices are decent and it was a good time. The restaurant itself is large so the wait-list moved fairly quickly.

Very good wings! We visited straight from the airport upon recommendation from our cab driver. We initially asked to go to Anchor, but the driver was a local and suggested Bar Bill instead, and it did not disappoint! The wings were amazing and we gad great drinks as well. I had a blueberry beer. Next time I'm in Buffalo I will definitely go again.

Bar Bill North continues to be just as good as the original Bar Bill in East Aurora! Last time I went, the list was very long so I sat at the bar with my friends. The bartender was super friendly and helpful. We ordered a bunch of food to share - not pictured was the gluten free pizza. The pizza was SO good. I don't know why we hadn't gotten it before. I always look forward to my Bar Bill visit - until next time!

Great place for Buffalo favourites like wings and beef on weck! The restaurant is beautiful with so many different seating areas. We went up to the loft/patio because the weather was nice. They had fans to move some air and a TV, but it was covered. Server was nice and friendly and gave us recommendations on what to select. We shared the beet salad, wings, beef on weck and waffle fries. The wings were very tasty (mix of hot and cajun). Beef on weck was so moist and juicy that I dare say it is better than the OG. Surprised how good the waffle fries and beet salad was. Only negative was that it took forever for the food to come and just small paper plates to share the dishes was a little off pudding.
