Back in 1946

, our original location opened as a corner “gin mill” in Amherst, New York. More than twenty years later, my mother, Louise Duttney, gave new meaning to the phrase “Mom knows best,” when she served up her first batch of Buffalo-style chicken wings in 1969. Soon, the then renamed Duff’s Famous Wings location was serving almost twenty pounds of wings per week and the concept had become – well, Famous

With the rapid success of Duff’s Famous Wings, it wasn’t long before customers started asking for other locations within their own communities. Our customers were quickly realizing our wings weren’t the only “hot” item on the menu and with an undeniable demand for expansion, we knew it was time to grow. Duff’s Famous Wings soon opened two more locations in the Buffalo area and even crossed the border, with three additional restaurants opening near Toronto. Thanks to our customers’ loyalty and high demand for our delicious dishes, Duff’s Famous Wings is now expanding even further – starting with your home town

Now is the time for you to take advantage of this amazing opportunity by bringing our family-friendly concept to your local community. We encourage you to read on and discover how becoming a Duff’s Famous Wings franchise owner can be the best decision of your life. With our team of experts, time-tested business model, and incredible support system – we will help make the process of opening and operating your own Duff’s Famous Wings restaurant a breeze! We appreciate your interest in Duff’s Famous Wings!

It’s All About

the Wings!

Whether customers like their wings hot, very hot, or even very, very hot, Duff’s Famous Wings has just the right flavor for everyone! The key to our delicious wings comes from our unique cooking method, along with our exclusive sauces, ranging from “mild” to “Duff’s Death Sauce.” Our wings are less greasy than those offered in other restaurants and the sauce is evenly applied to the wings, creating a unique, flavorful taste in every bite. In addition, we offer incredible dipping sauces for those looking for even more of a mouthful of zest, including our Duff’s bleu cheese, an original recipe created in 1969 and still one of the local favorites.

Something for

Everyone

While chicken wings may be the stars at Duff’s Famous Wings, that doesn’t mean the rest of the menu isn’t just as great. We offer a full-service restaurant, dedicated to providing something for everyone. Our menu includes appetizers, salads and sides, sandwiches served on grilled rolls, burgers, and a kids’ menu. Whether it’s for a lunch, a full dinner, or just a late night snack, Duff’s offers something for everyone! Of course with all those tasty menu options, we need to provide our customers with some refreshing beverages. At Duff’s Famous Wings, we serve a wide selection of soft drinks and for those of age, we offer a variety of draft and bottled beers and full service bar at some locations.
