What diners say — our read

The trajectory matters more than the average on this listing. Reviews mentioning front-of-house average 3.3 stars, so it divides opinion rather than settling it.

The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (13 of 21). Of the 21 rated reviews, 15 sit at four stars or better and 6 at two or below. No one in this corpus comments on how much food arrives at all.

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (97/100) with 1 intermediate violations. The visit behind that grade was May 18, 2026. On health score it sits safer than 72% of the Orange County restaurants we grade. For specifics, the last inspection cited food manager certification.

The honest summary is that the evidence is mixed on both sides. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    Wings here are voodoo good

  • June 23, 2026

    Great locals spot and open late. Some of the best chicken wings in Central Florida!

  • June 10, 2026

    Chad was everything a bartender should. He was attentive and checked up regularly without being intrusive. 10/10.

  • May 23, 2026

    Always a pleasure to come in. Andrea and Marissa are always so kind, even when it's hot outside. Wings are always on point, has a real local vibe to it. If you are a Buffalo any sport fan, it's the place to go in Orlando.

    Ótima comida. Asinhas muito boas e bom atendimento.

    I was sitting by the fire pit for about an hour before stepping away to take a family emergency call. When I returned, I felt I was being followed back toward the area. Once I sat down again, I was approached and asked for ID by someone who was not clearly identifiable as staff/security, which felt unexpected and out of place. I chose to leave at that point. I did not want to make any purchases, although others in my party did. Clear identification and communication from staff would have prevented confusion. // I returned to the bar to report it to the manager who chose not to connect back with me.

    A group of us were in the area for a conf and just wanted somewhere to grab a casual drink, some food and watch the game. We were in the outside bar area (they have inside area as well). Service, atmosphere and food were good! There was also karaoke going on and although one of us signed up we left prior to her opportunity as she still had like 14 people ahead of her (might consider not letting people that already went go up a second time before others that are still waiting, just a thought)

    The cook Joshua is the #1 best!!!!

    Absolutely gem of a Buffalo dive bar in Orlando.

  • May 6, 2026

    Fun little bar to eat at. Best wings in Orlando! Here's a tip: mix the garlic parm and buffalo sauces. It was delicious. Also the roast beef sandwich was excellent.

  • May 4, 2026

    Great place to watch Buffalo sports. Ray, the owner came over to chat. Wings were over-cooked.

  • April 29, 2026

    Loved everything about this place! The vibe, the food, the service!

  • April 29, 2026

    Buffalo fans rejoice! Great place! Beef on weck was delicious and the wings are just like WNY! Great value too!

  • April 27, 2026

    Best fish & chips since we were stationed in England.

  • March 29, 2026

    Have been here a couple of times during work trips. Is an incredible vibe and people are super friendly. Guinness pour is legit. It does tend to get busy and some of the bartenders chat between themselves for a weirdly long time but overall it is my favorite bar in Orlando. Drink wait times weren't bad and the prices are super reasonable. ESPECIALLY if you were at Disney. Their wings are fire.

  • March 21, 2026

    I door dashed here today. They ordered from somewhere almost 45 minutes away with traffic. A lost who works there then proceeded to curse me out for not assuming where to put the items as the door was closed. Called me unprofessional but then cursed me out. Don’t recommend

  • March 19, 2026

    Deceptive practice .the waitress charges you a different amount..from the one they should charge you...the servers are very rude..they don't care about keeping clients... Don't recommend...

  • March 19, 2026

    Wednesday is wing day and they have a special on wings, or so they say. When we went to pay they alleged the special is only certain hours, and did not apply. There is no sign inside the restaurant that indicates the “hours” the special applies. The staff was rude about it, and said it’s located “everywhere” yet could point to no place where this was advertised. While the wings were good, they are not worth the deceptive practices.

    I get it’s St Patrick’s day but entry ppl were not nice. Cash only which is fine but made us use a faulty ATM that ONLY lets u take 40+ out or it errors even tho they don’t “own” it. They endorse it. Patrons wouldn’t let me use the bathroom and then they didn’t do anything when I let them know. Poorly managed and I felt VERY unwelcome. Do better

  • March 17, 2026

    I wanted Buffalo wings today which they are known for and I buy all the time, however with today being St Patrick’s day I was not able to purchase wings and was offered corned beef and cabbage instead which I tried because I enjoy their food and was highly disappointed. The serving was not worth the money I spent, the bread was soggy and the moisture from the container made the paper stick to my food which made it inedible. I still chose to support this business because I love their wings but I was highly disappointed today and the choice to not have wings because of a holiday is bad marketing and definitely steered me away.

    Great food. Happy hour everyone day.
