A & D Buffalo

This place is the Sauce Boss! I haven’t tried one flavor of wing sauce that wasn’t good yet. «But Taylor, this is a wing restaurant… they specialize in wings,» you might say… But unfortunately that is not always the case as noted from other hot wing places around town. The staff is friendly and professional, and the combo meals are reasonably priced. I mean, a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, four wings, and a bunch of fries for $ 9.50 is a good deal. The Memphis Gold in mild and hot are to die for. The Lemon Pepper sauce was a buttery, delicious complement to the crispy fried wings. The medium buffalo sauce was the appropriate amount of fire to flavor ratio. «Then why only four stars?» you might interject. Because. Because fellow Unilocaler, their dipping sauces are flavorless, prepackaged white calories that diminish (instead of enhancing) anything you put it on. I cannot understand how a place where everybody that orders will ask for a side of ranch or bleu cheese cannot make their own dressing, It is not hard. And will most likely make every enjoy their food even more.

I very rarely write a bad review. I have passed by this restaurant many times on Summer Ave, and it looked like a good place to get wings. It was my turn to buy the food for tailgating party. I ordered five 30 piece wings, a mixture of each, a Philly Cheese for my wife, and Chicken Strips for my daughter. It took them close to an hour to get my food together, even after I gave them a 6 hour heads up that I was coming and what I was ordering. Needless to say I was the last one to get to the tailgate party, and 30+ folks were hungry and waiting for me. As a rule, wings are totally devoured within the first 30 minutes of the party. After 30 minutes, not even half were eaten. I asked my friends what was wrong and it was unanimously voted that they were over cooked, almost crunchy, the lemon pepper were inedible, the marinate was spotty, my wife ate less than half of her Philly Cheese Sandwich, and my daughter ate ½ of one chicken strip. They were greasy, and tasted like the oil was old. I was so embarrassed, and even though my friends didn’t «blame» me, they were very disappointed with me. You know it’s bad when no one wanted to take home the leftovers, so I wound up giving them to a couple of homeless guys. All I can say, is that I will never be back, and the 30+ families represented at the party won’t be trying you anytime soon, or ever.

The philly was one of the best I’ve ever eaten. I asked them if they had honey hot wings and was told that they did. Their version was not the typical honey hot that I expected. I didn’t really care for the flavor. Next time I’ll just get fries instead.

Customer service and food was fabulous. They have a variety of seasoned and flavored wings, along with other sandwiches, etc… Store is clean and great lighting. Staff is professional and courteous. Suggested items to try by me being a first time customer. I must say I will be visiting this restaurant again… Excellent!!!

I found this place on the way back to my mother in-law’s home. Service was quick, curteous and going through a drive thru for 3 cheesesteaks and a family basket of fries were decently priced. Not what I expected and was pleased. Next time I will try the wings.

Stopped by to try it out on yesterday and it was great. The food was fairly inexpensive with the things I normally look for. The sprite was terrible but the food was good. I think I will try it again to get an average feeling of the service.

Great little place. The first thing that I noticed walking in was how CLEAN the place was! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Wait time wasn’t long, but for those who complained… its fresh made. I had the chicken philly and it was a huge portion for the price.

Stopped by for lunch at A & D Buffalo and the place was packed. Hoping that was a good thing, I couldn’t decide if I wanted the philly cheese steak or wings, I decided on both. I was really annoyed that they didn’t have a kid menu and wouldn’t sell me a couple of chicken strips, unless I ordered the chicken strip combo that was for an adult. The cheese steak was alright, but nothing I crave. The wings were too dry for my taste, although the chicken strips were tasty, the fries that came with it were bland. This place was not a big hit for my taste buds.

Someone was slamming on my favorite wing place (Wings house) and recommended this one stating that it was cheaper and just as good. I decided to give it a try today to decide for myself and feel that reviewer was wrong on both points. The moment I walked in it was as if I was in a fast food joint (it is a former Backyard Burgers) but it turned out to be «not so fast» and not so good. Upon ordering the #1 10 piece which is 10 wings (half wings so actually 5) with fries, celery and a drink I asked if I could add 2 extra wings. I was told that I could not. WTF? I want to buy 2 wings but they won’t sell them to me? Ok then, I’ll just trust that 10 plus the fries and celery will fill me up. I request Blue cheese dressing instead of Ranch… nope, don’t have that either. Even though Blue Cheese is the traditional dressing for hot wings. So I wait 20 minutes for my order and discover that there are no fries… when I told them this they said that they forgot them and will bring them out later. I go sit down to eat and look at my food. I ordered 5 Parmesan/​garlic and 5 hot (They charge .50 extra to make 2 flavors). The Parmesan garlic looked and tasted like it was smothered in some sort of sweet Alfredo sauce even though the photo on the menu shows them as dry with a dusting of parmesean. They were absolutely disgusting. The hot ones had a nice taste if only a but too sweet for my liking and were gummy. I opened the styrofoam box to try my celery and found 3 filthy 2″ celery sticks…“Really”!! Sad…
This place is new, probably only open a week or so so they obviously have a few kinks to work out. And by kinks, I mean recipes and menu set up. The staff is all what appear to be high school or young college age kids, they were all very friendly and helpful. There were a huge number of employees working at the time… likely 9, so one employee for each customer in the store… but still service was slow. I may return to try their Cheesesteak but I’ll just stay with my old faithful Wings House when I have my craving for hot wings. They’ve never let me down.
Hey A & D! Here is a list for you:
–Wash your celery
–add more celery to the orders… its cheap stuff.
–Consider carrots. It helps people feel better about eating such unhealthy food.
–cook your wings until they are crisp, gummy is gross… and so is your parmesean/​garlic recipe.
–allow you customers to order additional wings by the each… you can charge more than the per wing price for the original order of wings as an add on.
–offer Blue Cheese dressing. Hot Wing purists require it.
–Use actual photos of your food, not purchased stock images on the menus.
–Ask your customers if the order is «for here or to go». I hate it when I am eating in and my food is supplied in a tied up plastic bag. It makes me feel like you want me to leave. I also end up with 3 styrofoam trays and a bag that I have to throw away instead of one plate.

Great new spot, with creative combinations. I tried the Philly cheese steak with Parmesan wings and it was excellent. Wait time varies but the food is good at good prices.

Good new restaurant. Wait times can vary. I had the number 9. It wasn’t the best gyro; their Philly cheese steak is good though.
