Larry’s Cantina Restaurant

I’m not sure how this place only has 3 reviews and currently only 3.5 stars!?!
These are some of the finest wings on the planet, to judge them upon any other measure is pointless. Whereas the original house of wings in Buffalo has gone WAY downhill, this establishment puts out phenomenal wings every time I go there.
If you’re in the area, just go… you won’t regret it

Good wings and sweet potato fries
Our group got the mild & hot barbecue sauce and the hot buffalo sauce wings. Also mushroom pops which were not very good. There was only one waitress managing the bar and also the tables so she was rather curt. It was cash immediately on every order.

Taste the wood char on that!
This is a great spot to bring a table full of friends and/​or family. Maybe not exactly child friendly, but it is quiet and friendly. I’ve had no problems carrying on group conversations at the high stool tables.
Neighborhood pub is the best way to explain this favorite watering whole for locals. New guests are welcomed warmly, just know to place your food orders at the bar.
I often travel with groups of well informed consumers of chicken wings, and Larry’s wings are always met with praise from even the most discerning in the bunch. There is good reason for these wings to be a long standing local legend.
Off street parking can be found out back, and remember to bring CASH!

A friend suggested we head to Larry’s to try their wings. He hadn’t been there yet, but had heard they were the best around. One Saturday, late afternoon, we decided to try it out. When we arrived at the location, at first we weren’t sure if it was even open anymore. It looks like an old bar that has been closed down for years. My 8 year old said the «Larry’s» sign outside looks like an old motel sign. We were tired and very hungry so we gave it a shot. It’s not what you would call a restaurant per say and it’s definitely not for families. It’s most definitely a bar and it’s a local crowd. You won’t find the usual seasonal tourist groups here, which suited us just fine. Their menu is located on the wall by the bar and that’s where you place all of your orders… there is no table service here. We have been here several times now and the bar staff is always friendly.
Larry’s is famous for it’s wings and we saw lots of folks coming in to pick up take-​out orders of wings the whole time we were there. There were many of the usual wing sauces that you normally see at wing joints. You can mix together any combination of sauces that they have. The bartender suggested to try what they call the «Special Bernie» sauce. The Special and the Bernie can be ordered separately, but she told us they are best together. And was she right! The Special is a hot sauce and the Bernie is an Asian style sauce. When mixed together, the Bernie tempers the Special so that they make a wonderful combination. The other thing that makes this particular style of wing so special is that they are grilled. The flavor is grilled perfectly into the wings. A friend of ours ordered the medium Buffalo wings and they were not grilled, they were the typical wet sauce we are used to when ordering wings. However, we had another order of Medium Garlic and they were grilled, so I guess it all depends on the particular sauce you get. They also have a variety of other bar-​type foods on the menu like fries, cheese sticks, mini tacos (my daughter’s favorite) and several different sandwiches. The prices are extremely reasonable! However, make sure you bring cash. They DO NOT take credit cards. Luckily there is a bank with an ATM around the corner.
You can come here and enjoy some local flavor, play some pool or darts, have a few beers and eat some of the best wings around. Not a bad way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon.
