Heavenly Buffaloes

Just had a fabulous salad and wings at the Erwin Rd store. Really delicious. Great place to have lunch and watch the game. Good vibe and fast friendly service from Victoria. Highly recommended.

Squirreley was my waiter/server and provided excellent service! He gave me plenty of recommendations and the one i ended up choosing (Carolina Honey Mustard) was phenomenal

Stopped by for a quick bite and the boneless wings did not disappoint. Perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and tossed in just the right amount of sauce. The fries were golden, seasoned just right, and seriously addictive. Great portions for the price and fast, friendly service. Definitely a go-to spot when you’re craving comfort food done right!

I just had one of the best fries in Durham, and The Wings don't disappoint out of all places I went to this is the best one, The Only Problem is that the restaurant is small and theirs not enough seating but oh well

Great place, not many seats but a lot of traffic from food delivery companies and take out customers. As soon as you sink your teeth into the wings you understand why. Delicious wings, really good sauces. Everything super fresh. My son wanted to come back for lunch the next day which is worth more than five stars.

Great afterwork spot to grab some yummy wings and hang out. The wings were crispy and the sauce had lots of flavor. The wings were cooked well, tender and juicy. They had a great amount of sauce. Enough to cover the whole wing, but not drowning in it. My husband got the Burnie zass-hoff. Heat was the primary flavor,but had other flavors on the back end. It wasn't all heat. My only complaint is the fries were a little over crispy. Will definitely be returning.

My first time at a Heavenly Buffalo. It is a smaller place off the road with parking in the back. The menu is limited but they do what they serve well. We ordered a lot of wings and they were great. The wings hottest were a little too hot for me. My friend says this is the better of the two locations in town.

Wonderful experience! First time at this location. I usually go to the original one on Markham Avenue. Nevertheless, this location was great! Love the dine option inside and outside. You can order using the QR code which was perfect for my group of friends. The ladies working there were so nice and brought our food quick. The wings and fries were very fresh and delicious. Will come again!

Just like the other location the wings here are legit and I really enjoyed the bone in thighs also. Waffle fries are amazing and this spot is great for meeting friends at , parking is a little weird and be aware that for pickup you gotta park a good way away and walk up to it.

I found this to be an average wing stop. This is a small restaurant with good amount of outdoor seating in a small courtyard. I liked the courtyard. I ordered bone-in wings and only tried one flavor, the PARMESAN GARLIC. It came with good garlic but little cheese flavor. Additionally, it had a vinegar hot sauce character which drove it to taste more like a garlic buffalo sauce. The Parmesan garlic sauce from the two big wing chains are better in my opinion. I ordered the wings extra crispy, which is a standard option in their online ordering page. They weren't extra crispy, nor were they even crispy at all. I was disappointed in this. I will say I received fast service. They were ready for pickup in just over 10 min after submitting the order online. They sent a text message as soon as they were ready which was convienent.

Went there for what amounted to a Late Lunch....Boneless wings with Teriyaki sauce was delicious and the salad was also great....Staff was friendly as always...Talked about leaving Messi and Miami in Soccer, Siblings, Podcasting, NBA, etc . .Definitely go down there and enjoy the food and company.

My partner and I went to dinner here the other night. The decor is adorable with random art with buffalo all over. Our food was really good. I wanted two sauces on my wings but you can only get one sauce with the smaller order (and the price difference for the next largest was significant). I ended up getting the wings naked and then got two sauces on the side to try. I wasn't a huge fan of the zesty garlic parmesan because it was oily. The Peri Peri sauce was amazing though. The waffle fries were super crispy. You can get them with any of the dry rubs on there. I didn't but I tried my partner's sweet potato fries with jerk seasoning and it was delicious. Our server was nice and took good care of us. This is close to our house so we will definitely be back.

I come to this place all the time when I am in town. Indeed, I am like a homing pigeon coming back to its lair The wings are amply sized, fried to a perfect crisp, and a coating of delicious sauce that is just right. No matter where I go across the fruited plane, I always try wings. I usually eat with a fork and knife so I am not distracted by stick sauce hands. At this place, and this place only, my hands dive in for the kill and I heartily nibble on the winglet and drum portion of the wing with the greatest of glee--entirely undeterred and unrestrained by the sloppy sauce-coated hands. The ambiance sure isn't the best, and the seats are not so comfortable BUT the staff is amazing--i mean they care and asked me several times if i was enjoying my food. C'mon, with sauce splattered all over my face and hands....that should have been obvious. :-)

This place is so fun! There are both meat and vegetarian options and lots of fun flavors to choose from. You can even customize the flavor of your french fries. Prompt and kind customer service and a fun atmosphere. Will definitely come back.

Staff were moderately friendly. The directed me to a table where I was asked to use the QR code to order my food myself. I decided to try both a chicken sandwich and boneless wings. The wings can out first, and I had paid extra for them to be "extra wet" and definitely got my monies worth. Sauce was poured in. The wings were okay, I would say slightly better then average except the temperature was barely warm and closer to room temperature. About 10 mins later (not sure why) the second half of my meal came out. A chicken sandwich which I thought was breaded but either I ordered the wrong thing, it wasn't or is was so light I did not notice. It was okay as well. I'm not user how you are supposed to tip when I ordered myself on their website and all the worker did was hand me the food. I tipped 15% but probably more because I felt I should than needed to. At lest at McDonalds they actually take your order... Finally, they don't offer Wifi. Yes, you read he correctly, in 2022 they don't offer wifi. They claim they don't know the password. Realllly.... Can't help but think they don't want people lingering too long.

Delicious wings, fast service, nice small local place to hang out and watch sports on the multiple tvs

I was early to meet my friend and while there were no other tables in use, the waitress seemed a little bummed that I was only going to sit here with my laptop and sip at a beer. And then when my friend arrived and was quite indecisive about her dinner order, our waitress was a little frustrated. But honestly, so was I. This isn't a super complicated menu, folks. I got 13 wings (they do bone-in wings in 7, 13, 25, 51, 103 and 251 because yes, let's have odd numbers) in hot sauce. The arrived promptly and were pretty good. Not as meaty as some I've had but they were hot and fresh. Not swimming in sauce, the "hot" was only mildly hot. Going up to Zass-hoff would have been too much, so this was good. We also got a half order of the waffle fries, of which I tried one. A sweet potato with the zesty garlic parmesan, they were good. I wouldn't break keto for them, but good. The place slowly got a little busier but not enough that giving customers more time would have been a problem. TV's tuned in to two different movie channels and a wifi that I wasn't able to connect to and didn't really bother. A few options for people who don't eat wings (and why are you hanging around with them at a wing joint) including vegan wings (soy) and a chicken sandwich and salads with or without chicken nuggets. Some macro beer options and wine in a can. I can see returning to Heavenly Buffaloes. It was good. [Review 15528 overall, 1032 of 2021, number 3067 in North Carolina.]

Victoria is the worst. I ordered online not knowing you can't drive up. You have to park downstairs in the back. It's raining and I wasn't able do that type of walking. I called when I realized the situation and was put on hold immediately after hello for over 10 minutes. I hung up and called back and screamed don't put me on hold again. Told her my situation and she said she would bring the food out then proceeded to tell me not to scream in her ear as I almost hurt her ear. If I didn't scream I would have been on hold for 10 more minutes. Just give me back my money.

I have been hearing about heavenly buffaloes for some time now so I was excited to finally try it. The restaurant is located in a plaza with other businesses. There is a parking lot located behind the businesses. Outdoor seating is located in front of the business and tables and bar seating is inside. There is a television by the bar. I give the server, Nick 5 stars! He is really a people person person and wants you to have an enjoyable experience while dining here. He told me what the drink specials were and also made recommendations on the wings. I would give the food 4 stars. The food was good but not overwhelmingly spectacular. I ordered the sweet Thai chili wings. There are no descriptions for the wing flavors so I didn't realize that there would be nuts on the wings. It wasn't bad but just different. I also tried the heavenly Buffalo dry rub. By the time that I got home with my leftovers the rub had turned into a wet sauce and tasted like Buffalo wings. The wings were a good size. The wings are also served with carrots, celery and a choice of ranch or blue cheese. The fries were ok. The half order is large enough to share. They do offer seasonings that can be served on the fries. After eating Nick packed up my food for me. He has great customer service skills! If I come back I would try other food items.

I've always been a fan of "Heavenly Buffaloes". Hands down the best wings I've ever had! Unfortunately the Durham location never had a dine-in option, I would always have to order takeout. Well -- they do now at their 2nd location on Erwin Rd. There's nothing like fresh wings! It's even better to eat it fresh out from the kitchen! The wings were hot and fries were crispy! Same menu but with alcohol/drinks menu. It's not a bad place to catch a game since there are TV's in the front. Basically, if you're planning to dine-in, just find a table and a server will come to you. There are lots of seating options. The customer service is top notch. Shout out to Nick for walking me through the ordering process and providing excellent service. Excited to have this new location!

This place was recommended to me by a friend. Having semi-high expectations walking in, the food did not disappoint. The ambiance was great with a sports bar type atmosphere. I got the 7 count bone-in medium spice level wings and half Idaho waffle fry. The wings were spiced right for the flavor designation. People who don't eat spicy food might find it a tad bit more spicy than what they'd imagine. I got 4 drums and 3 flats. The sauce was distributed fairly evenly and was a classic Buffalo taste. The fries were what impressed. Think Chick-fil-A waffle fries but thinner and crispier. Of course that entails more oil, but it wasn't overkill. It also was salted a tad bit more than I would've liked, but it really paired well with the wings. They served a larger portion of fries than necessary for a 7 piece wings. The service was great, and it was quite empty on a Thursday evening. I would go back, but only to try different flavors of wings.

Absolutely LOVE their vegan wings and waffle fries! I'm visiting a friend for the week and put this place on my list of must visit restaurants. We used to frequent the Markham St location when I lived in Durham. What sets this location apart is the indoor seating option! Thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. The food was excellent, the place was clean, and the music was hoppin!

I love Heavenly Buffaloes! We live in Wake Forest but every time we are around Durham or Chapel Hill we stop there to eat some wings. The Heavenly Buffaloes dry seasoning is so good that it's worth the 35min drive just to eat there. We usually get some boneless wings with dry Heavenly Buffaloes seasoning and the Idaho fries with dry Heavenly Buffaloes seasoning. I like this new location better than the original location because it has indoor sitting and also because for some reason the chicken here is better and not dry like the one at the original location.

Met a co-worker for dinner as he was passing through town. Got 7 wings with Zass Hoss and Garlic Garlic sauce mixed. Were good, spicy and loads of garlic. The wings were really big and meaty which always makes me happy. I also got the sweet potato waffle fries with Garlic Parmesan seasoning.it was all really good. If you want beer or wine, all the options come in a can. Mostly have beer and seltzer and limited wine. Prices fell in line with other wings places. They have carrots, not celery.. I do want to also try the Markham road location too.

Solid wings as always! So glad they now have this location across from Duke with indoor and outdoor seating. Their waffle fries are so good and you can have them with your choice of seasoning. We've tried several of their sauces and loved most of them but if you are not sure about what you like, I'd say you can never go wrong with their classic medium sauce. I love their zesty garlic parm and Carolina honey mustard as well. Sauces I would skip: Their Thai Coconut Chili was a lil bit too coconut-y than Thai chili and the Ol' Vinnie..if you aren't crazy for vinegar--don't go there. The staff here were really nice and attentive, the server we had also let us sample the Ol' Vinie sauce first because he wasn't sure we were gonna like it, and sure enough we passed on it. Overall, I trust Heavenly Buffaloes for great wings.

Amazing food and wonderful service from David tonight! He was very charismatic and checked up on us often. Highly recommend this place

Came in here mid afternoon looking for a snack before we hit the bar. Had heavenly buffalo dry rubbed and the medium wet. Both were hot and delicious. Wasn't a ton of people and service was excellent. Good seating inside and out. Lots of TVs (which proved distracting as I was trying to pay attention to my date but the bucks vs hawks game 2 was on). Definitely will go back for wings.

I thought I would grab a half pound of boneless wings on my way home and I'm sort of regretting my decision. I must say that I love the mild sauce, but the chicken pieces(and they were all sorts of random shapes and sizes) were not what I was expecting. I guess I was expecting them to be more like nuggets. I also would have preferred them to have a little bit of crisp/crunch and they were kind of soggy. The blue cheese and carrots were delish!

I've never tried "wings" before because they're typically chicken wings (which I don't eat). I got the "vegan 7pc" in sweet Thai coconut chili garnished with peanuts. I must say I really enjoyed the taste, it was the perfect level of crunch and sauce. I got ranch on the side as a dip. I also ordered the sweet potato waffle fries lightly salted, which I enjoyed; they were the perfect potato to crunch ratio. Highly recommend (as they have amazing vegan options) and will visit again!

Something has changed with the consistency of their vegan nuggets. They used to be denser and chewier, and they're now very airy and and have an unpleasant consistency that feels sort of stringy. The flavor seems a little different, too. We've had two experiences with these "new" vegan nuggets, once here and once at the Markham location, so unfortunately it doesn't appear to be a fluke or bad luck. We had been going to Heavenly Buffaloes for years for their vegan wings, but these are now just unpalatable. And they either gave us the wrong size salad, or their regular/large salad is very small ($9.99 for even a large non-entree salad seems overly expensive regardless). The fries were good, but aren't worth going for alone if you're vegan/vegetarian.

The food is good, service is solid too. Only complaints are that there's no indoor seating and the prices are a little high

Heavenly Buffaloes has the best wings in town!!! I'm obsessed with their boneless honey barbecue wings, but my friends all say the other sauce options and bone-in wings are good, too. The fries are equally delicious, and there is always good beer on tap. Not only is the food great, but the service is excellent!! David has helped me several times when I've visited this location, and he always makes sure that everyone in the restaurant is taken care of (he checks on the people sitting inside, outside, picking up to-go orders, etc.). If you decide to dine in, definitely try to snag a seat in his section! He rocks, plus he has a great sense of humor!!!

I'm so happy this location opened! I'm able to walk here from Dukes campus. We got sweet potato fries and regular fries. They are crispy and delicious! We ordered the garlic Parmesan wings and lemon pepper wings. The wings are crispy and fried fresh. The sauces/dry rubs are delicious. Service is super fast and friendly! I will definitely put this location in my rotation of lunches near work!

Service was great. Waitress was extremely nice. Vegan wings were flavorful and had several different varieties. Was a little hard to chew threw some of the pieces however it was not a big a deal. Overall great place to eat if your looking for some classic wings.

Food was good. Service was not. Waitresses just hung out at the register talking to friends as they came in.

"Good wings, and vegan options, right off Duke's west campus" While the original restaurant is by Ninth Street, this newer location offers greater convenience to Duke University's west campus as well as indoor dining (as well as 5 outdoor picnic tables). Available for dine-in, takeout, or delivery via DoorDash, and with a good amount of parking & other food options nearby, it's a convenient place for folks to get wings for themselves or a group. I ordered takeout on a Friday evening via phone-- process was smooth. I used the DoorDash menu for choosing what I wanted as a newbie-- it was more clearly descriptive of combinations than the website menu. Choose boneless, bone-in, or vegan wings, and then any of a range of dry or wet seasonings. The half-pound (or 7-count for vegan) option is more than enough for one person for a meal, especially if you get fries too. Speaking of fries, you can get any of the "dry rub" options on your fries too! We ordered buffalo medium regular wings, Thai coconut chili vegan wings, and garlic/ ginger vegan wings, as well as regular waffle fries with lemon-pepper. The fries were EPICALLY good. Highly recommend. We got the "full" size helping, and I'd say it was easily enough for maybe 3-4 people as a side to the wings. The chicken wings with buffalo medium were good and had some serious kick to it-- my son (who ordered it) was happy to have the ranch sauce to dip and cut it. Many thoughts on the vegan wings. On the positive, they did have a texture almost like chicken-- moreso than any other vegan dish I've had. It was milder in flavor than chicken-- really absorbed what it was sitting in. Therein lied a bit of the problem. My dish was the Thai coconut chili one. On the one hand, the store was generous in putting a LOT of this sauce. But it was, in my opinion, too much sauce-- it was so much that the wings were basically almost floating in it. And by the time I got it home and started eating, it tasted like just spooning this sauce into my mouth. Good for a few bites, but it got old fast, especially with no complementing flavor from the "wings" themselves. I feel they should've only put on 25% the amount of sauce they did. Other issue-- the texture was accurate, but accurate to overcooked chicken. It was really hard to bite through them. I gave up using just a fork and went to fork & knife pretty quick. Realistically, I wouldn't order this combination again-- I may go for either regular chicken or maybe a dry rub instead. My wife's garlic/ ginger one was also drowning in sauce, but on the up-side, it was a much less powerful sauce, so not bad in that regard. Wings were supposed to come with celery, too, but I saw we didn't get any when I opened the bag at home. Maybe I was supposed to specify that I did want it (even though it's supposed to come with the dishes)? They never asked... Sadness... Service was OK. When I showed up at the restaurant for pick-up, there was no one in line, but no one behind the counter. There was no "bell" or any similar way to get attention from folks in the back. Maybe 4-5 minutes later, someone did walk up to help, but seemed to walk up from the customer area-- did he see me standing all that time and no identify himself as an employee? Or did he just walk in from outside? I couldn't tell. Anyway, friendly enough, and I got my food and left. Overall, I'd rate this as a "good". I'd be willing to go back, but I'll order differently next time-- likely getting boneless chicken wings rather than vegan, or if getting vegan, going for either a milder flavor or dry rub. And will ask for the celery explicitly.

Got takeout from this location and it was superb! Boneless wings had the perfect breading to chicken ratio and were tender and not overcooked at all. I do wish they had a bit more sauce on them, but the flavoring of each was amazing. I got a 1lb order and it was enough for 3 meals, which was a nice surprise for the price. The fries were out of this world!! I mean this as a compliment when I say their idaho regular fries tasted like popeyes cajun fries (my favorite fries in this planet), so needless to say I will be back for those! Sweet potato fries with the salt and pepper rub were crispy, yet delicious. The girl who took my order was super nice and when I went to pick up my order everyone was very friendly! Overall a great experience.

This place is the best!!! The staff, especially David and Maylea go above and beyond to take care of you. The food is always delicious and gets to you quick :) we love the environment and the people, they keep us coming back. HUGE fan of the spicy Thai chilie vegan wings and lemon pepper Idaho fries. 10/10!!!!!!

I've heard lots of great things about HB and so have been wanting to try for a while. I was glad they had a dining option on Erwin. Good: Everyone was very nice and helpful. The wings were great, meaty and not fatty. They had a special on $2 red stripe beer when we went. Bad: i think they probably sold a lot of red stripe. But our 3 beers we drank were barely cool. Not a fan of warm beer. They tried to find me the coldest after so i did appreciate they tried. They only had carrots and no celery due to high cost of celery. Not a big deal. Ugly: I'm posting 3 pictures of the menu and my receipt. 1st is from online, 2nd the menu at the restaurant, 3rd my receipt. I can forgive the online. But when they hand you a menu at the location with a certain price i had expected that on my bill. I asked about it and was told i should have been told the prices aren't correct. I understand but i think it would have been just as easy to either 1. Post a sign at the front (ie. Due to rising cost and shortage of chicken ....- the reason i was given) 2. Put stickers or strike out prices on the menu. 3. Put signs posting actual prices. I would not have minded spending what i was charged just not when their actual prices weren't shown and it was a big difference in price. $6 difference is a huge jump. Food was good and i'd go again. I just don't want to guess or be surprised by my bill.

The spicy buffalo wings and fries were a little too salty, but everything else was great!

Seriously i like it here David is cool Gave us carrots , first sighting Food = Good Vegan wings rule Serve

I stay often at the AC Marriott close by and consider myself a wing conigseaur. I stopped in to eat in and was followed in by 4 very tall (Maybe Duke BB players). I was first in line and was asked if I was eating in or taking out. I replied I was eating in. Was told rather rudely for me to take a seat and the man would take my order soon. The 4 young men behind me proceeded to order and got drinks before I was even a thought, which I never was. So after 10 min of watching the 4 Dukies try to make up their mind I got up and left. Maybe they are royalty, maybe they know the man behind the counter. But I knew what I wanted and the order could have been entered in 30 sec. You've lost a potential customer and I won't be bringing any business colleagues there as well.

We are in the area because my husband just had a liver transplant. He has follow up appointments close to this location. We absolutely love the vibe inside. Has great seating outside if you chose to sit outside. We ordered the teriyaki wings and the waffle fries. Food was fantastic. The gentleman that helped us was on top of it all. Will definitely go again!

Amazing food but the weekend staff is lacking. They never answered the phone but we live close by and decided to just eat in. We were sitting waiting to be served for 20 minutes before we left. Service is good on the weekdays.

Had dinner here on Friday and it was so good! David recommended the Sweet Thai chili wings and they were delicious! Really awesome service from him, as well as great energy. Would come back again!

We love heavenly buffaloes! the vegan wings are always perfect! David and Maylea take great care of their customers.

So yummy. Every sauce I've tried here is amazing. Be sure to add dry rub to the fries!

I've ordered through Door Dash a couple of times. The food is great but not once have I received what I ordered at the Erwin Rd. site. NOT ONCE. I even re-ordered because they gave me the wrong thing and they sent me the wrong thing again. I'd recommend NOT ordering online. Go pick up and LOOK to make sure you have the right thing. Again, the food is great.

Wow I've been to both other locations of Heavenly Buffaloes and was perfectly happy with the service I received, but this was on another level. Nick is giving fine dining level service, but friendlier. You can imagine my surprise when I was expecting regular counter service. His recommendations were on point, and after always just being ok with what I've ordered here, I've finally figured out my go to order. Y'all... Nick even packed up my leftovers for me and kept the wings from making my fries soggy. I don't know what the Wednesday lunch shift of Heavenly Buffaloes at Erwin did to deserve him, but they should invest more money in him than whatever they're giving him. He's a treasure and is worth visiting this location for alone.

the zesty garlic Parmesan taste like throw up and the chipotle BBQ was way to spicy and everything was over sauced.

Very consistent and delicious. Thai chili sauce and honey bbq are great. Recommend both vegan and regular wings.

This was our first time here. It was recommended by a nurse at Duke, her go to lunch. Boy was she right. We really enjoyed the size of the wings and the flavor of the seasonings. The sweet potato fries were delicious too. Definitely will be back!

13 Vegan wings well worth the price. Vegan chicken sandwhich was also smacking (get the honey and spicy bbq mixed) Every sauce we had was good, the coconut was an experience. Our waitress May was great!

me and my bf ate here and really liked it! we got 13 vegan wings, a vegan chicken sandwich, and a half order of sweet potato fries (huuuuuge portion). everything was pretty great the vegan wings had a really nice texture and were super cripsy but they were a little dense if thats not your thing (we loved em). we had the spicy barbecue and the thai coconut seasoning both were pretty good! our server May was really cool and gave great recommendations :). i think everything was pretty reasonably priced as well! we were both full and took and had hella waffle fries to take home for $35 plus tip.

If you eat here, please avoid the teriyaki and garlic garlic flavors. We order 4 different flavors and ended up throwing out both of those which is a waste of money and food. The teriyaki is just straight soy sauce with no teriyaki flavor and the garlic has a very weird vinegar taste. Overall this place tends to be okay but tonight we are wasting about $20 worth of food

Nick at this location is amazingly helpful, he really made it a great experience for us when we came in with an order for a huge office group. Thanks Nick!
