Heavenly Buffaloes

The only reason I'm getting this three stars is because it's so damn expensive! The wings were absolutely amazing. But paying over $20 for 10 wings and only one sauce choice was a little bit much for me. Now I know why my credit card always has a balance for my daughter because she eats here all the time, poor college child!I did see they have specials during the week. But if you're in Chapel Hill on campus and you want really, really good wings this is a place to go.

I love sweet potato fries! And wings! They execute both really well and I love that you can add dry rubs to their fries. When I go, everything comes out crispy and fresh (even with the sauces) and the food is super filling. I love their signature dry rub or cinnamon sugar with sweet potato fries and their spicy bbq boneless wings, but you can't really go wrong with any flavor.

YUM! That might be all I need to say. We loooved this place. Had a very long day of traveling and are in town for a wedding. Stopped in after receiving a recommendation from someone and it's safe to say they were right. This place hit the spot. I took my first bite and said aloud "these are the best wings I've had in a very long time".We had the Garlic, Garlic, hot buffalo and then got the chicken thighs with Carolina Gold BBQ. We also had the waffle fries with lemon pepper. Every flavor was yummy. Chef's kiss!The manager was extremely helpful, kind and very inviting. We came in late and they were only doing take out orders. She was very apologetic and offered to let us sit outside, but we didn't mind doing takeout at all. She didn't need to be sorry for anything! She helped my husband pick out some flavors and never once got annoyed with him. He had a lot of questions and she was so nice. My husband said we may make another stop before heading home lol.

This is the great place for a quick bite and drinks. As a vegetarian their soy wings are great! They also have a great variety of rubs for the wings AND fries! This definitely a staple for chapel hill and the fries always hit the perfect craving for waffle fries!

The food is consistently good. Prices are reasonable, plenty of parking nearby. The jerk sauce is so delicious and vegan friendly. Fries are always yummy as well! The ambience is similar to other wing places, it's casual but comfortable!

I can no longer support Heavenly Buffaloes on Franklin St. because of their misleading pricing practices and poor management. First, the good: the food is great. I've been regularly eating at Heavenly Buffaloes since the year they opened in Durham, and then at the Chapel Hill location when it opened 10 years ago. I think they have the best wings in town.That's why it pains me to say I won't eat here anymore. A few months back I went in on a Tuesday and asked about their half price wings special (BOGO 1/2 off). The cashier confirmed it was available and I (absentmindedly) ordered 13 wings. Again, I had *just* asked about the lunch special seconds before ordering. He charged me full price ($22 for 13 wings) instead of the special ($18 for 14 wings). I got my wings and then realized the mistake a few minutes after I left when I received the charge notice on my credit card. Thinking it would be an easy fix, I called the store and reported the error. The man who I spoke with, the same cashier, seemed amused and refused to correct the error. He *admitted* he had charged me MORE for LESS wings, but said I hadn't ordered it "the right way". I swear it sounded like he did it spitefully. When I asked for the manager's name I was shocked to learn he IS the manager. He legit DID NOT CARE. AlI was pretty upset so I refused to go back for months until this week, when I popped back in again. The dining room was oddly closed at lunch time, but they were accepting take-out orders. I ordered their lunch combo for the day including wings, fries, and a fountain drink. As I went to pay the cashier informed me that the fountain machine was broken, but I could buy a soda from the cooler for $2.50. I pointed out that the combo INCLUDES the drink and that it wasn't my fault that their machine was broken... She refused to include the drink but did intend to charge me full price for the lunch special which already included it. I'm OVER this place. Each of the past two times I went to Heavenly Buffaloes they overcharged me or attempted to do so. I recommend visiting Wingman in Carrboro Plaza instead.

I quite enjoyed my brief experience at Heavenly Buffaloes. I saw they had vegan wings so I stopped in. Ordering was quick and easy. I love ordered vegan wings to go, and a beer while I waited. They have many sauce options which is great. I got the hottest sauce they had and a BBQ. Both were great.The interior is clean. The employees are nice. The vegan wings are tasty. I'll return if I stay nearby again.

Oh my Heavens!!! My lunch was so delicious there's no way I had time for a photo I had vegan wings (Carolina honey mustard) and a side salad. The vegan wings were a good size and very flavorful. I only ordered the 7 wings so I could only get one flavor but the flavor I chose was amazing! The side salad was the largest side salad I've had and it full of very fresh veggies including peppers, pumpkins seeds, and more. Just the wings and side salad were very filling! It was a healthy meal that left me more than satisfied based on flavor, value and nutrition. I will definitely be back and hopefully I'll be able to share a picture next time!

Let me start by saying the food is amazing. I have been here numerous times and love the food. If you're looking to dine in...don't. Do take out instead. The service is absolutely horrendous (from certain servers). I have been a server since I was 18 so I understand it's not easy but tonight was terrible. I ordered wings and fries, nothing unusual. It took 50 minutes for my food to come. Meanwhile other people were coming in after we ordered, getting their food, FINISHING THEIR FOOD, and checking out before we even got ours. Our server then come out with the food after the 50 minute wait and said "kitchen messed up the order" which is classic server talk for "I screwed up and forgot and now I'm blaming the kitchen". Keep in mind there was one other table in the whole place occupied and they had a different server than we did. He never checked on us after dropping the food, did not fill drinks once, and then never even dropped a check. I had to walk up front to ask for boxes and the check because he literally never came back.I have never in my life, until today, stiffed a server. I truly understand sometimes you forget but what happened tonight was beyond bad and it kinda ruined the vibe of going.

Not so heavenly, more hellacious. Don't remember much about the food other than the wings were unnaturally large and service was acceptable but not good, server seemed disinterested. My meal was interrupted when my car started leaving without me.BEWARE! They are partnering with Barnes Towing predatory towing to have your car towed. Certainly, there are applicable times when a vehicle should be removed, parked in a handicap spot, fire lane, outside a hospital emergency room entrance, blocking a main road. Any of those would be reasonable, if not expected.The real issue here is that Barnes Towing is literally preying on and stalking patrons by paying employees to sit and watch from computers, in a remote location, the cameras they installed on the Heavenly Buffalo (and Heavenly Buffalo has allowed to be installed and participate in this) and McDonald's buildings. These predators watch and wait for an unsuspecting patron to break any of the ill identified or purposely vague rules so they can send an apathetic truck driver in to steal the vehicle or charge the utterly absurd $200 in their "pay to drop" scam.Aside from vague and inadequate signage denoting the prescience of this predatory activity, the McDonald's parking lot used to have very clearly marked "M parking only" painted in bright yellow on the spots that were for their patrons exclusively, that is reasonably a fair warning. Barnes Towing has had these markings removed to purposely trick visitors so they wouldn't know they were subject to being towed or booted (preyed upon). Images from Google Earth confirm this and are publicly available. These markings were removed and replaced by the comically small "If towed call Barnes towing" sign that makes no mention of how one would avoid being towed or anything about "parking only for ..." absolutely nothing. These trap spots are not identified in any recognizable manner (purposely to trick visitors) and nobody should have to suffer through this. Sadly, there have been far too many victims as voiced through reviews of the companies participating in this, Barnes Towing, and town meetings, not to mention, those who have not yet spoken up against this scam happening in their backyard.We need to stop this predatory practice and protect our students, visitors, and community from this extortion and abuse before it spreads and harms more people. This is also done at the Panera Bread on the same road.Edit to reply to Lara:Primarily, any spots for Heavenly Buffalo parking are not clearly marked, as is supported by previous visitors encountering the same issue and this being an ongoing problem. You said it yourself the pictures show the "McDonald's side of the parking lot and not ours." THAT'S THE PROBLEM, there is no distinction whatsoever between what is your parking and what isn't. It's a contiguous parking lot touching both McDonald's and Heavenly Buffaloes. As your patrons park here, it IS your responsibility to reasonably identify your parking spaces and what is your lot. Instead of paying you to reply to Yelp comments about this continuous issue, use that money to buy a can of "Heavenly Buffaloe's Orange" spray paint and spray a nice obvious line over the currently invisible line that separates your parking. That would be looking out for your paying customers.
