I have a friend with Down syndrome who recommended this restaurant to us, and wanting to be kind to him we gladly made the drive over. Unfortunately, the wings were not clean and had a nasty taste to them, and gave all of us food poisoning. There was also a group of kind black adolescents who were under the impression that the drinks were free, and told us as such. We got our free drinks from the soda fountain, but when they tried to do the same a very racist old white man (who we later learned to be the owner) yelled at them that the drinks were not free. Overall the experience was very traumatizing, and sometimes I still have nightmares about the unclean and nasty wing sauce. I would give this restaurant as a whole a 1/10 and would not recommend to a friend.

I can't remember the last time my takeout order has been correct, to the point where I'm not sure it's worth giving Buffaloes another chance. Great when it's right.

Let me start by saying the food is amazing. I have been here numerous times and love the food. If you're looking to dine in...don't. Do take out instead. The service is absolutely horrendous (from certain servers). I have been a server since I was 18 so I understand it's not easy but tonight was terrible.I ordered wings and fries, nothing unusual. It took 50 minutes for my food to come. Meanwhile other people were coming in after we ordered, getting their food, FINISHING THEIR FOOD, and checking out before we even got ours. Our server then come out with the food after the 50 minute wait and said "kitchen messed up the order" which is classic server talk for "I screwed up and forgot and now I'm blaming the kitchen". Keep in mind there was one other table in the whole place occupied and they had a different server than we did.He never checked on us after dropping the food, did not fill drinks once, and then never even dropped a check. I had to walk up front to ask for boxes and the check because he literally never came back.I have never in my life, until today, stiffed a server. I truly understand sometimes you forget but what happened tonight was beyond bad and it kinda ruined the vibe of going.

Fast, and good. Love all the seasonings and creative combos. Fries are cooked to crispy-smooth perfection every time.

Wings were soggy at pick up, garnish green onions were old(looking like they were left out all day). Boneless wings looking like pounded chicken breasts that were cut into smaller pieces. Where the real boneless wings at? I ain't want flat no crispy wings.

I can't speak for the food as they refused to serve me and my dad. I asked to order a 13 count of traditional wings, half spicy BBQ and half Heavenly Buffalo (some dry rub). The waitress said that they couldn't do half and half which I thought was very odd, especially since the menu said you could. I attempted to ask the waitress about 6 or so times why and offer solutions such as just telling the cooks the order. For context the restaurant was empty besides us. After being interrupted for the 6th or so time, I asked if I could speak to a manager and the waitress refused at which point my dad began to complain and managed to get the waitress to finally get a manager over. The manager came and was just as rude, if not ruder than the waitress, telling us that we could either order 2 sets of wings or leave. I stood up and said "Alright, we are going to go ahead and leave then. Thank you." My dad was still quite unhappy and requested a higher supervisors contact to which the employee provided a fake email address. Very confusing and rude behavior from the staff that left me more so baffled than mad. Frankly the inept behavior was rather humorous.
The food here was really tasty and prepared well. I had the chicken thighs with a mesquite barbecue dty rub, and it was delicious! The staff here is really nice and friendly! I will definitely go back!

Oh my Heavens!!! My lunch was so delicious there's no way I had time for a photo I had vegan wings (Carolina honey mustard) and a side salad. The vegan wings were a good size and very flavorful. I only ordered the 7 wings so I could only get one flavor but the flavor I chose was amazing! The side salad was the largest side salad I've had and it full of very fresh veggies including peppers, pumpkins seeds, and more. Just the wings and side salad were very filling! It was a healthy meal that left me more than satisfied based on flavor, value and nutrition. I will definitely be back and hopefully I'll be able to share a picture next time!

Not so heavenly, more hellacious. Don't remember much about the food other than the wings were unnaturally large and service was acceptable but not good, server seemed disinterested. My meal was interrupted when my car started leaving without me.BEWARE! They are partnering with Barnes Towing predatory towing to have your car towed. Certainly, there are applicable times when a vehicle should be removed, parked in a handicap spot, fire lane, outside a hospital emergency room entrance, blocking a main road. Any of those would be reasonable, if not expected.The real issue here is that Barnes Towing is literally preying on and stalking patrons by paying employees to sit and watch from computers, in a remote location, the cameras they installed on the Heavenly Buffalo (and Heavenly Buffalo has allowed to be installed and participate in this) and McDonald's buildings. These predators watch and wait for an unsuspecting patron to break any of the ill identified or purposely vague rules so they can send an apathetic truck driver in to steal the vehicle or charge the utterly absurd $200 in their "pay to drop" scam.Aside from vague and inadequate signage denoting the prescience of this predatory activity, the McDonald's parking lot used to have very clearly marked "M parking only" painted in bright yellow on the spots that were for their patrons exclusively, that is reasonably a fair warning. Barnes Towing has had these markings removed to purposely trick visitors so they wouldn't know they were subject to being towed or booted (preyed upon). Images from Google Earth confirm this and are publicly available. These markings were removed and replaced by the comically small "If towed call Barnes towing" sign that makes no mention of how one would avoid being towed or anything about "parking only for ..." absolutely nothing. These trap spots are not identified in any recognizable manner (purposely to trick visitors) and nobody should have to suffer through this. Sadly, there have been far too many victims as voiced through reviews of the companies participating in this, Barnes Towing, and town meetings, not to mention, those who have not yet spoken up against this scam happening in their backyard.We need to stop this predatory practice and protect our students, visitors, and community from this extortion and abuse before it spreads and harms more people. This is also done at the Panera Bread on the same road.Edit to reply to Lara:Primarily, any spots for Heavenly Buffalo parking are not clearly marked, as is supported by previous visitors encountering the same issue and this being an ongoing problem. You said it yourself the pictures show the "McDonald's side of the parking lot and not ours." THAT'S THE PROBLEM, there is no distinction whatsoever between what is your parking and what isn't. It's a contiguous parking lot touching both McDonald's and Heavenly Buffaloes. As your patrons park here, it IS your responsibility to reasonably identify your parking spaces and what is your lot. Instead of paying you to reply to Yelp comments about this continuous issue, use that money to buy a can of "Heavenly Buffaloe's Orange" spray paint and spray a nice obvious line over the currently invisible line that separates your parking. That would be looking out for your paying customers.

Great place for vegan/vegetarian wings! It's our favorite spot for veggie wings and fries. Local soy nuggets not just your normal frozen stuff.Vegetarian options: Highly recommend the vegan wings. Plenty of sauces/dry rubs that are veggie friendly as well.
