Good local spot when it's open . Great wings . Needs some TLC . Will become a land mark.

Can't really say. Stopped by on a Tuesday at about 6:30 as we were passing thru. We saw they were supposed to have great wings so I ordered 20 wings and some fries, but was told it'd take and hour and twenty minutes.... didn't have time to wait and don't think they'd be worth that kind of wait anyway. Left this place and went to Duff's, ordered 20 and fries which were ready in about 15 minutes. They were some of the best winds I've ever had!

I believe hands down, this tavern has the best wings in the city. You have to be aware of several things 1.) You WILL wait about 45 minutes for your order2.) They will not seat you unless your whole party is present3.) Payment is cash only, no exceptions4.) Their food is cooked in peanut oil (those of you with a food allergy beware)5.) Their bathrooms are... Rough to summarizeIf you are okay with all of the above, you will be treated to the best wings buffalo has to offer.

If you've heard that Nine-Eleven has great wings, Believe It! Why someone would not like their wings is beyond me. Not sure about other menu items, but if half as good as the wings, it will be good. I have only ever had the wings. Good size, crispy, yet saucy enough, and very nicely presented! Worth the visit every time.

You can call this place a dive cause that's what it is. A old bar very small but I'm not here to be a interior decorator or check the decor. I'm here to try what people tell me are one of the best if not the best wings in Buffalo. Fries wings where AMAZING nothing negative about this place. Jumbo wings chunky blue cheese our waitress was friendly and topping up all our drinks. You want the best forget the rest NINE ELEVEN ARE BEST WINGS I EVER ATE.

As a huge wings fan I was really looking forward to trying Nine-Eleven since I'd heard claims they were the best in Buffalo. Their style is close to traditional but with a little extra flavor twist in the sauce that I quite enjoyed. I put them neck and neck with Duff's as best in the area. Only downside is they have limited capacity so if you get there 30 minutes after they open you might be waiting an hour and 45 minutes before you can expect to see your food... At least that's what the staff was telling customers that came in during my visit.

This place literally has a bad odor. Staff is rude, the bar is tiny, atmosphere is dreary, beer is warm. Nothing good. Was told it would be a 2 hour wait for wings at the bar. My party stayed for our 1 warm beer and split.

Were in town for wing fest and was told we should try here. Went in later in the evening & were told because there are only 2 fryers it would be over an hour wait. Checked out the dining room...there was no one there! Had some beers and watched all the staff eating wings behind the bar. Ridiculous. Don't waste your time. It can't be that good... drive to Rochester & have the best wings at Windjammers. It's about an hour drive for cheap beer & amazing wings!

Some of the best wings in Buffalo. The level of crispiness was perfect. Hot were decently hot but not killer. Medium were enjoyable but the amount of butter in the sauce was overwhelming. Typical price for wings and beers. Loved all of the buffalo sports memorabilia and shuffle board. Friendly staff. Will definitely be returning!

This is a known top win Buffalo wing spot (therefore top in world). The building could certainly use some updating(bathrooms especially) but being a dive is part of its persona. Located in South Buffalo. Prices are good, wait time on the wings is a but long, but worth it. Wings only come in their hot/med/mild variety. It was my first time, and I gotta say, believe the wing hype. I've not been tho every top rated spot yet, but this certainly belongs in anyone's top 5. I've got them at #2. Seriously good wings. I cant speak to anything else on their menu, as far as I'm concerned, there's no other choice. Will return, many times.

Best wings in Buffalo! I was looking for something to finish the sauce with when the wings were gone. I even contemplated licking the plate, but I thought that might be inappropriate.

Loved the atmosphere, lots of sports memorabilia (kind of questioning why there was a Dan Marino picture), staff was very friendly. However, an hour wait just for wings seems a bit ridiculous. Though the waitress did tell us that as soon as we walked in to get a table. And, the wings were really good but not as 'out of this world' as we have heard & the reason why we went. All in all, I'd still go back.

BEST. WINGS. EVER! I started doing what we call a "Turf and Turf" 10 wings and the corned beef sandwich and split between 2 people. Best idea. So good. It's an old bar though so don't expect to be in and out. Also, bring cash. It's cash only.

Went there for the wings and they did not disappoint. Perfectly cooked, crispy without having to ask for it, super flavorful sauce even though we didn't go as hot as I would prefer. The fries were amazing. They'd be famous for the fries if the wings weren't so good. Great tavern atmosphere, excellent friendly service. There was a long wait for the food but we were advised up front and it was well worth the wait. Only negative was the men's room which was so horrifically bad that it almost adds a comical lore to the place. Someone accurately scratched into the wall "worst bathroom in Buffalo." Is that a list somewhere?

It's a small place and has a small patio open on the summer so we always get there early. The food takes time but, remember GOOD FOOD IS NOT FAST, AND FAST FOOD IS NOT GOOD. 👍

Nine Eleven has great chicken wings, possibly the best ever. But in all honesty, you sacrifice a lot for them. First off all, on a Wednesday night, we waited over an hour for them. In all fairness, they told us we would when we walked in. The place was not full; we got a table right away, but we waited about 75 minutes for 30 wings. The bathrooms are completely.disgusting and I'm sure that the guy is making enough money on his 75 minute wings that he could do a bathroom reno. I never drink beer when I'm there just to avoid the need for a bathroom trip. So yes. Go there to eat the best wings in Buffalo. Don't use the bathroom, and get there before you are starving because you"re going to have to wait..
