Buffalo Joe's: User Reviews

This place blows. Ordered a double order spicy and a buffalo chip. A couple of the wings were cold and raw on the interior. The wings were tiny and really not that good. If I wanted a basket full of bones, I would have ordered ribs. This place has gone down hill and just doesn't get it. NEVER AGAIN.

Hey, forgot to mention we love the TV. Resent the comments here that the food isn't good; they're right it's GREAT. Have been a customer for years, can't wait to get back.

Buffalo Joe's is a favorite when we're in Evanston. The burgers are the best, and we always have the wings. It's not a meal at Buffalo Joe's if we don't have the wings. My husband loves the waffle firies.
The person who said this is greasy food is nuts!
The wings with celery and ranch are a must for all the games,
Love it! Love it all!

Chintzy, tiny wings with zero meat. This place is so inconsistent and deserves to be put on ban. Overpriced, rude employees, and crappy wings. They showed up to wingfest with their terrible meatless chicken wings. You should be ashamed.

I've been getting wings from Buff Joe's since I was in grade school. The perfect meal consists of a double order of suicide wings (or mild if you really crave a buttery flavor), an order of buffalo chips, and a mega RC. It simply does not get any better than that. I've had wings at a ton of places in and around Chicago and always compare them to Buff Joe's. I haven't found anything even remotely comparable.

Gross, can't believe anyone recommends this place.

Buffalo joe's puts giardinaire on their spicey wings. They're not buffalo wings.
The next lower aren't even spicey. They're not buffalo wings.
Their sauce tastes like ketchup and it's too thick. They're not buffalo wings.
They're the tiniest wings i've ever seen in my life. They're not buffalo wings.
They don't even serve blue cheese.

They're the furthest thing from buffalo wings i've ever seen, and my SO who is from buffalo was insulted ... I can see them having merits as a late night junk food establishment, but "i don't get it" outside of that.

I dont care what anyone says, this place is and has been the greatest addition to the world since me. Fantastic wings, albeit small, are like candy. Don't let nay-sayers dissuade you. Not liking buffalo joes is like not liking sarkis or barnaby's.

I'm not sure why so many people are seemingly obsessed with this place. Quite simply, it doesn't live up to the hype. The wings, while good enough, are nothing out of the ordinary and DO NOT put BWW to shame in any way. The so-called "suicide" sauce (the hottest sauce at BJ's) doesn't even come close to matching the heat of most of BWW's higher-end sauces, and the wings themselves are similar if not identical in size and taste. If you're already in the area and you want some decent wings, stop by BJ's. If not, don't make it a point to go out of your way for it...the decent wings and very mediocre service will make you realize that the hype is just that--hype.

The best wings that I have ever had. You can't go anywhere for better wings.
Make sure to order some chedder chips.

This place is dreadful.
The staff were rude and the cashier was obnoxious and unhelpful when I asked her to explain the system of collecting food, then paying at the other end of the room.
I collected my food and got in line. I then watched as the cashier allowed her friends to cut in line in front of me to order takeout.
This took well over fifteen minutes. It then took a further three or four minutes of watching her stab moodily at the till buttons before I could finally sit down and eat.
By this point, our food was stone cold and the sauce on the wings had congealed. Not that I felt hungry any more - the sight of the blood-encrusted band-aid hanging loosely by one end on the cashier's face had dealt with that.
Deeply, deeply unpleasant.
