I have been going to this place about once a week ever since the first time I went. The wings are phenomenal, and the fries are some of the best in Evanston. I always get the spicy wings (though mild are good too) and a regular fries. The wings aren't huge, but they certainly make up for it in portion size. The burgers are always fresh grilled and super juicy as well, SO good at a great price point if you get the managers special. The service is very fast and efficient, and even in a rush I've never had to wait more than about fifteen minutes for my food. Awesome wall art and ambiance, a great place to watch sports games too. I will say that your best bet here is getting grilled/fried foods, because I've seen people order less popular menu items like the corn on the cob and have them microwaved/underwhelming.

Very good wings a little on the small side but really good. I also love the seasoned fries my only complaint is the wings are on the small side and sometimes they put broken pieces in there with no meat. The service is really good though quick and efficient And I think it would be a good sit down restaurant to have dinner in

Took a nostalgia trip back to Buff Joes, and I it was like nothing changed. Went for the spicy wings, just like I remembered. Waffle fries were perfectly crispy with just a little too much salt like always. Same weird pictures on the walls. Plus the only place that is keeping RC cola still in business (Gut Buster is a drink size). Glad to see this treasure from my Northwestern days made it through. Plus the prices haven't gone up that much either, the only affordable place still in Evanston for college students. They got my boyfriend's burger a bit wrong, but that might because he doesn't speak Chicago or Buff Joes. He still enjoyed it. Never change Buff Joes, you're the future-nostalgia a college student needs.

Buffalo Joes in Evanston! We heard nothing but amazing reviews about this place so we went to go check it out! Be warned you will have to wait 30 minutes to an hour if they're busy like we did! The wings were good, they had great flavor and were yummy, they were just tiny! Definitely can't be too hungry when coming here unless you want to spend money that's our recommendation!

My favorite wings around. I found this place in college and I've been going here ever since. Whenever I'm in the chicagoland area I make sure to hit this place up. There is nothing magical about the restaurant except for the wings. The restaurant itself is just a walk in storefront. Food is walk up to order. A few places to sit in the back. Service is simple.. not much. Wings are awesome. Several different spice levels. Full of vinegar goodness. I love these wings. Give this place a try if you love wings!

I thought it was pretty good. It's been awhile since I've been to any Buffalo Joe's and I don't think I've been to this one. This is a low down greasy wing place which isn't a criticism. It's true homemade wings and sauce. While o think it's a little on the expensive side, you do get a pretty generous order of wings. I thought their spicy was going to be hotter. I guess I need to try the suicide flavor. The biggest surprise were the waffle fries. Nice and crunchy with some seasoning (pepper?). Complemented the wings and was awesome dipped in said sauce. While people have complained about the service, they treated me quite well, especially since I didn't know what I was doing. The woman who took my order was so helpful! Sometimes you just want wings. This is the place for some down and dirty wings made with love. I'll probably be back, but you gotta bring cash!

I used to love Buffjoes in my teens and 20's, I think it was maybe 10 years or more since I last had it. And I gotta say, it has not changed at all. The suicide sauce is still FUEGO. The suicide sauce has my heart. It's not that spicy, but has all the flava. And cheddar chips are a necessity. The inside has not changed in the last 20 years. You order at one end of the counter, then wait for your food. Once your food's ready, pay at the register. Grab an oatmeal chocochip cookie if you can! Parking in the area is usually not too difficult. Oh and bring cash! They're cash only, but they do have an atm inside.

A friend of mind introduced me Buffalo Joes! I have to say I am highly happy that he did. Let me get into it! Food: Hands down the best chicken wings! The flavor and the freshness was great! Each time I have come I always feel satisfied. Service: The speed of how quickly the food comes out and how the cashier is very chatty and how they walk you thought the menu is great. Atmosphere: Or ambiance like I call it, the decor really matched the shop vibe! I really like walking in as it makes me feel I am going back in time. Overall, I would visit Buffalo Joes any time I am in the area. I love the food and how friendly everyone is.

I just came back to buff joes after a several year hiatus. Wings: top notch. Excellent. Worth the long wait time. Freshly fried, tender, juicy and super flavorful. Fries: waffle fries. Can get with or without cheese. Cheese sauce is super thick - maybe not in a good way lol. Service: quick, not especially friendly, though the food more than makes up for it! Cash only. Long wait times. Ambience: worn out interior. Tables with benches. Avoid sitting too close to the restrooms as the cleaning solution scent is off putting.
