Social Profile:

Established in 1981 by chef and late owner Mark Gress, The Nine-Eleven Tavern has been a popular meeting place for the people of Buffalo and is well-known for its wings and tavern fare. With a back room and attached deck, it’s the perfect place to sit down with family or catch up with friends. The kitchen closes at 8:30pm. Last call at the bar is at 10:00pm. Closed Sundays and Mondays. We have a very small kitchen and therefore are limited to in-house dining only. We do not offer take-out. We’re sure you understand. Seating is first come, first serve. We are unable to accommodate parties larger than 6.

The BEST of it all!!! This was our last stop on our 5 day wing fest in Buffalo. Saying we saved the best for last would be a huge understatement!! Everything here is on point! Sean was one of the coolest people we met while in Buffalo. We came in on a slow day, ended up spending 3 hrs here eating wings, drinking, and making friends with everyone at the bar. If they were busy we would have left sooner to be polite. Love their hours, love the cash only, love no reservations. This folks is how you specialize in one thing and become the best. Please!!! Do not ever change or franchise.

I went on a Sunday for all you can eat chicken wings. This deal runs for the duration of the bills game, and you need a reservation. It was $30 a person and the selection included mild, medium, hot, fries and celery. The wings were very good and crispy. The sauces were good, nothing special but good. When we were there, there was a table that was playing the game on their phone and since our phone had no delay, the table would cheer loudly and make loud marks whenever a play happened; spoiling the game for the rest of the people there. This persisted for the entirety of the game. We even heard the game through their phone. In one incident the Dolphins scored a touchdown about a minute or two before we saw it in the restaurant, and the guys at this table started loudly exclaiming about it. Due to the annoyance, a different customer (we ended up talking to them in the parking lot, and they had spent around $400 at the bar) vocalized how annoying it was to have another table spoiling the game, and how it was bad etiquette. The workers responded by telling them they were not welcome back there. They did nothing about the people spoiling the entire game, but instead threw out the customers complaining under the guise of “being rude”. I would never come back to this establishment. The way they completely disregard the majority of the customers trying to enjoy the game on the TVS to accommodate a single table, and then doubling down and having a horrible response to a complaint, was one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever witnessed. I would not recommend giving your business to this establishment.

This place has been on my bucket list for a long time, and I finally made it! The restaurant is quintessential South Buffalo: Friendly, No Thrills, and Proud. There is no pretentiousness here, just great wings and proud Buffalonians. These are fantastic wings, with great flavor, the perfect “crunch”, and a moist chicken center. I’ll be coming back! Pro Tip: Get the french fries, and also be aware that its cash only.

I have conflicted emotions talking up my favorite hidden gem but this place has absolutely the best wings in Buffalo, and therefore, the world. Size, sauce, crispiness, blue cheese, all are 10/10. Don’t go anywhere else for wings. Oh and their fries are my favorite in Buffalo. Oh and their corned beef sandwich is amazing too. Those are the only things I’ve gotten the 4 times I’ve been there but most likely will not ever get anything else.

This place is often recommended as the top wing spot in Buffalo. I went with high expectations, and they were nearly met. I got there within 10 minutes of opening on a Thursday, and the wait for food was already an hour. Shortly after I arrived, guests had to wait an additional half hour to get a table.

My order of hot wings was indeed brilliant. Saucy, spicy with complex flavor, and hot! I really enjoyed them, but would I wait an hour for them again? Unfortunately not. I’ve had meatier, juicer wings at Gene McCarthy’s. Blackthorn had comparable sauce.
Overall, this place was really good, but not worth an hour’s wait. Hopefully when they expand, the wait time goes down!

The wings are great the best wings in my
Opinion but the management is horrible
Never open during posted open hours which is minimal to begin with but then it’s hit or miss pull up and it’s closed most the time. Over an hour and half to wait to sit then long wait for the food they Can’t seat 6 people. Can’t accept take out orders. They Only accept cash this could be a great business if it was managed correctly The wings were very very good when you can actually get them sadly it’s hard to dine here with the loud bar environment and the horrible customer service but we go back anyways because the wings are just that good

Some of the best wings I’ve ever had. The wait is real but if you want fast food, there’s a McDonalds up the road. For the people complaining about a max table size of 6, just split your group into two and dont care if everyone is sitting beside each other or eating at the same table. Easy solution. They have limited space inside.

We arrived at 6pm on a Saturday and were told around 30 mins for a table, we grabbed a beer from the bar and hung out in the bar section. We ended up sitting at the bar. They did say it’d be an hour for wings and not that we timed it, it seemed much shorter. We ordered fries to start and weren’t done the fries when the wings came.

We were traveling from Ontario and will make this a mandatory stop anytime we’re in Buffalo going forward. Great Food, Great People and Great Atmosphere.

Our server Brooke was absolutely fantastic! Wings were some of the best I’ve ever had. 5 stars only because I can’t leave 6. Thanks for everything Brooke! Go Bills!

Had an amazing time here. Not from this area, but wanted to eat some wings in Buffalo. 100% Local Corner Bar vibes. Parking is on the street but wasn’t bad. It’s a small place that gets full fast. Only accepts cash! Didn’t realize this until I went in, but had cash on me anyway. They let me know there is an ATM across the street if needed.
My waitress Kelly was great! Kept drinks full and brought food out hot. She was also very friendly thanking us for coming and even recommending a local pizza place for my friend to order from tomorrow night.
Now the food… my friend and I are on a work trip up here so wanted to try a variety. Got a triple (30 wings) hot, an order of Finn fries, and a single pizza rolls(4 rolls).
Fries came out 1st and WOW , glad we only got 1 order. They were huge and delicious. Portion is definitely big enough for a family of 4.
Pizza rolls are pepperoni and cheese filled egg rolls. These were good and different, but not really my favorite thing.
Then the star of the show- the wings. Hot isn’t super spicy, but has a little kick. But the flavor was great! So crispy and juicy! The presentation was also great!
Look forward to seeing yall again whenever I’m near here.

Absolutely amazing wings and fantastic service! Wings were cooked perfectly and the sauce (hot) is hands down the best. Bartenders and staff were welcoming and friendly which made our visit perfect.
