About The Buffalo Spot

The Buffalo Spot is a popular spot near the UCI campus, attracting students with its convenient location. While it’s not cheap, the restaurant offers a Tuesday deal for 60-cent boneless wings. The menu features a variety of flavors, including mango habanero and Cajun, as well as the option for extremely spicy wings. The restaurant has a semi-open kitchen concept and uses fresh chicken breast. However, quality control can sometimes be an issue, with wings occasionally arriving undercooked or without sauce. The wings are similar in size to Wingstop and are generally good, but service can be slow and not always helpful, with some staff struggling with simple questions or mixing up orders, such as giving out DoorDash orders from San Francisco. The fries are praised as being very good, especially the Buffalo fries which are often recommended for takeout. The restaurant also offers "the Boss Fries," a large serving of fresh fries with up to four flavors. Despite occasional service issues and inconsistent food quality, many customers enjoy the wings, especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays when there are great deals. The shake options, like dulce de leche, are also well-liked. Overall, The Buffalo Spot remains a favorite for wing lovers seeking affordable and flavorful options near UCI.
