Crispy, saucy wings and garlic fries in a casual tavern
"A low-key neighborhood spot that serves perfectly sauced wings with a well-judged level of heat — straightforward and reliable." - Stephanie Gravalese
"At Nine-Eleven Tavern, it’s cash only, no takeout, no reservations, and no air conditioning—just pure old-school South Buffalo wings, served exactly how they’re supposed to be. Fried to perfection with a brittle, golden crust, these jumbo wings are slathered in buttery hot sauce for a satisfying tang that doesn’t drown the texture. There are no fancy flavors here—just classic hot wings, done right. Grab a spot on the back deck or settle into the main room where the walls are filled with old sports memorabilia." - david neimanis
"A no-frills type of establishment, Nine Eleven Tavern is cash only, with no takeout, no separate checks, no reservations, and no groups of more than six people. Your only sauce options are mild, medium, and hot. Its simplicity is what draws devoted regulars to this dive bar in South Buffalo. Make sure you order a side of fries with the wings — they are among the best in town." - Tori Allen
"Nine-Eleven Tavern is famed for its crispy, saucy chicken wings. It is a cash-only restaurant closed on Sundays and Mondays." - Anna Staropoli
"Founded in 1981 and named for its Bloomfield Avenue address, this tiny tavern is celebrated for wings made to order in a small kitchen with house-made sauce and two fryers; they can take up to 40 minutes but arrive tangy and hot with a real butter flavor. Single orders are plated to resemble a sundial, while double and triple portions are stacked like a wing Jenga, and diners say they’re always worth the wait." - Arthur Bovino
