Enjoyed original chicken wings last night. Our server was knowledgeable that wings were made in separate fryer. We had a side of potato salad along with our wings. SO glad we came to the home of the original Buffalo wings.

There was one item on the menu marked as GF (grilled chicken), and I asked for a side of fries with it. The server let me know all the fried food is in the same basket so it is all cross contaminated. She also told me the only gluten free item on the menu were the wings. I appreciated that the server knew nothing was gluten friendly, but kind of had the tone and body language of “your out of luck”

Not gluten friendly! There was one dry rub. The wings were so over cooked I couldn’t eat them. Disappointed.

If you are gluten free for celiac or allergy, this restaurant is not gluten free. They do state on their menu that they do not separate gluten free from non, so they guarantee there will be cross contamination.

I was also highly frustrated as the items marked gluten free are actually not gluten free. I ordered an item marked without talking to the waitor about being gluten free but then my food came and the fries were covered in a batter and the wings sauce was not gluten free. I then had to send it back, and when it came out it still wasn't totally right. I can't believe they mark a meal as gluten free when the fries and sauce that come with the meal are not gluten free. They should instead mark that the meal can come gluten free after special request.

I’ve had wings here twice (mild and medium) and haven’t had any issues. Nothing like the original wings.

They say their fryer is GF, but every time I get wings from the main street location i have major issues.

I've had zero issues with their airport and Niagara Falls locations though.

Pretty dismal experience, although I did get gf wings that were delicious. But both the server and, eventually, the manager were clueless. Only after I had eaten several did the manager come over and tell me that the french fries actually weren't gf, although they had cooked them in the gf fryer for me (contaminating their alleged gf fryer, right??) So celiac safe? No. But mostly due to avoidable incompetence, which is a shame since I've had great experiences at the airport location.

I ordered wings and the bartender knew which sauces were not gf and had no issues. Some places make you feel like it’s a burden to not been glutened but not here! It was great and safe!

They say gluten friendly but the wings and most sauces are GF and the wings are cooked separately in GF oil. My tummy feels great after eating those yummy wings.
