Tried 5 different flavors of wings and didn't really care for any of them. The food took a really long time to come out even though the restaurant wasn't busy. They got our order wrong and then wouldn't correct it because the cook staff wanted to go home. This place is overrated and I probably wouldn't come back.

The wings here are great. Perfectly cooked and soooo many styles to chose from. Great service from the bartender and everything from the table to the bathrooms were spotless. Beers ranged from your standard macrobrews to some craft (Hayburner, Jai Lai). Will happily return.

We have dined here three other times and loved the food each time. As a big "Man v Food" fan I try and visit the places shown on the show. This establishment was always on my go to visit list when in Buffalo. Fantastic wings and the variety of flavors is awesome! The staff is wonderful and friendly. The kids play pool in the back room while we sit and relax with a few drinks and conversation. However, upon our last visit on 3/2/24, I called a few hours earlier to see if they could accept a group of 14 people to which the manager graciously accepted us for about 3 1/2 hours later on in the evening (of a Saturday.) We arrived at the designated time, ordered drinks as usual. Staff was friendly as always. Ordered appetizers and our wing orders. Approximately 30 minutes after ordering, the cook and a staff member come out to state they don't have enough boneless wings to fulfill the orders, (okay, no big deal.) We change our orders to accommodate the shortage in supplies and add some entrees instead. Fast forward 90 minutes later of apologies, and above all the dishonesty of "the food is coming right out." Two of the four apps came out and two orders of boneless wings. We were waiting on some entrees like a cheeseburger and fries and normal bone-in wings. Nothing fancy what so ever. One of the staff was leaving, thanked us for our patience and said she stayed to be a "runner" and that she stayed until our food came out. I was puzzled and said "3 of what we ordered has come out and we are still waiting on two apps and the rest of the food orders. (For a runner she didn't run anything that I saw.) Her response was, " oh, it's coming right out now." Our patience continued until the two and a half hour mark to which the bulk of our party had to leave." I paid the bill in full for everything that we ordered (even food we did not receive) including tip and told the cook to shut it down and not waste prepping any more food. I invited the locals at the bar to enjoy the completed food we ordered that we cannot enjoy because we have a very long drive ahead of us in the morning. In all, it was a very disappointing experience and much different from our previous visits. I can understand a big group coming in and delays in food prep. I can understand the frustrations of the staff. What I am disappointed about is the dishonesty of the constant saying, "the food is coming right out" when it clearly was not. I made it as easy as I could. I moved tables together, I went up to get utensils that weren't put out, I got napkins for everybody. And above all we didn't say anything negative. No raising of voices or negative comments. Our group was patient and calm. We were supportive and understanding. But over 2 and a half hours with dishonest communication of the food is coming right out is more than anyone can handle. Again, The staff was very nice and polite, the cook definitely was flustered and frustrated not being told by the earlier staff we were coming. But my rating today reflects the poor communication to us about the food not being ready when it was portrayed to us it was and it was coming right out. Had they been honest from the start and said, " we just cannot accommodate your order in a timely fashion" we would have thanked them for their honesty, paid for what we had (drinks only at the time) and been on our way to feed our children at a reasonable time. Would have saved me a few hundred dollars in service we never received. I hope in the future better communication and staff help get it up and running better.

After hearing about this place’s legendary status as a destination for wings, we stopped in here last Friday. Our bartender was friendly, but it took 90 minutes to get wings and when we did the hot wings were cold and the jalapeño maple had no flavor (this probably had something to do with them using jarred jalapeños instead of fresh). The cook brought our fries out himself and apologized for the wait which was much appreciated, but overall a major disappointment.

Found this place on instagram and didn't disappoint only disappoint was my Bills lol smh. The wing are 75 cents on game day with plenty of flavors to choose from the wings were cooked crispy like I asked and were just right. Plenty of beer options with a nice size bar. Pool table , Darts what's not to like. Will be back to try one of the other 51 flavors until then and p.s the blue cheese contained big chunks of blue cheese just the way I like see ya soon.

Incredible Chicken WingsIn old a Buffalo neighborhood near an old Chevy Plant right by the Niagra riverWe tried 12 different Kinds of a menu of 52 different kinds.The Chef / Cook brought us complimentaryMango Habanero wings which were one of our favorites along with peanut butter and jelly wings and chipotle bbq ,You can't go wrong with any of them.The blue cheese is amazing tooBetter than any blue cheese I've ever had and each basker of 5 or 12 wings comes with celery to dipYou have to try many kinds they are all fun and wonderful to taste .Everyone in this very old former hotel building now a neighborhood good dive bar / restaurantEveryone there was the extremely the nicest people you'll ever meet. We are on our way to Boston / Salem Mass on a family vacation it was a perfect stop for lunch / dinner.It's only about 10 to 20 minutes from Niagra Falls if visiting the Falls or Buffalo a must stop.We absolutely want to come back maybe on our way home to Northwest Indiana / Chicago next week.Thanks to everyone there that was so friendly and willing to talk and help us with much appreciated tips on our vacation to make it even more memorable and fun for our whole family.

Basically just wings and fingers, the menu was somehow even SLIMMER than before. Very very small place so be ready to bump elbows and exchange awkward comments with the regulars from the neighborhood. The extensive sauce flavor list is the reason to come here. Drink selection is also fairly limited-just cans of the basics. No sours or craft beers.

Ok, so you have a staff that's friendly, the crowd is down to earth people and oh my God the food is outstanding. Wait until you see the over 25 different sauces for the big, perfectly cooked, delicious wings.

If you haven't had the wings from Dalmatia yet, you need to put them on your to-do list of places to go!We tried the Mango Habanero and the Raspberry BBQ wings here and I think this place might be the next hidden spot on the Wing Trail. The mango habanero wings were the perfect amount of flavor and heat with a great crisp to them still. The heat balanced out with the raspberry BBQ wings too. They have over 54 kinds of wings here so really you can't go wrong with any of their choices. They even have a PB&J wing for those who want to have wings for dessert too! The service in here is incredible. They are very friendly and the bar itself reminds you of that classic 70's style bar you'd see on tv. Regulars at the bar and a warm welcome when you go in. Put this spot on your list if you're looking for some new places to try some great wings!
