"These wings may be listed as a side, but they’re undeniably the main event at Gabriel’s Gate. Well-sauced with a tangy kick and a perfectly crisp exterior, they’re the ultimate expression of the chicken wing in all its glory. Pair them with an ice-cold Canadian beer and a basket of piping hot fries—no need to overthink it. The place itself is a gloriously weird tavern, where mounted animal heads share wall space with a wooden Native American statue and a bubbling fish tank. It’s a collision of psychedelic charm and old-school Americana grit, making the experience as memorable as the wings. photo credit: James Pici photo credit: James Pici photo credit: James Pici photo credit: James Pici" - David Neimanis

"For 50 years, Gabriel’s Gate has served some of the best wings in Buffalo and is usually one of the first and most recommended spots to visitors. The restaurant is located in the historic Allentown neighborhood and was part of the Tift Row Homes built in 1864. The location also served as an antique shop, which explains the unique decor. If you’re looking for a bar with the best “feel” of Buffalo, definitely head to Gabriel’s Gate." - Tori Allen

"Bon Appétit named Gabriel’s Gate as the favorite choice for wings back in 2018. ... The vibe at Gabriel’s, owned by brothers Bill and John Hall, calls back to its time as an antique shop and, before that, an 1860s rowhome. ... The consistency of these wings is excellent, and plenty of locals will direct you here if you ask for the best wings in Buffalo." - ByAlana Pedalino

"Gabriel's Gate Gabriel’s Gate has been a local staple for years, but it recently started getting national attention after Bon Appétit named its chicken wings the best in Buffalo. The restaurant, located in a historic home in Allentown, features original details like wood-burning fireplaces, plus a spacious outdoor patio for eating alfresco. The decor is eclectic and the vibe laid-back, with a decidedly “where everybody knows your name” feeling. As for the wings, they’re large, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and tossed in a sauce that’s the perfect mix of tangy and spicy. Should you prefer red meat, there’s also a great burger selection, plus a killer French onion soup."

Came here with family, we all ordered French onion soup and split double order of wings. When I tell you half the wings were THE smallest I’ve seen in my life it’s of no exaggeration. I asked a server if he’s ever seen anything like it and he apologized and said their supplier burnt down this year. No offer to correct it, no explanation why I paid nearly 2$ a wing for, again not exaggerating, the smallest wings I’ve seen in my life. Soup was good tho 😂 . I won’t be back.

I liked this place a lot! The vibe was great, sat at the bar and all the bartenders were nice. The wings were also delicious and the right level of hot. SUCH good wings. I'd heard this was one of the better wing joints in the area-- definitely not disappointed. I was STUFFED. The beer was cold and they were on top of refills. I also had a tasty side salad.

This place was a hit. The seating was a little tight, but other than that, everything was great, from the food to the service. I got the French onion soup to start out with it was hands down the best I've had, yet it was so good I had to order another bowl. I would definitely recommend trying this. I got the Philly cheese steak, and it was way better than Pats and Genos in Philly. The steak was nice and juicy cooked to perfection with a lot of flavors. I would definitely recommend this place, and I will for sure be stopping by next time we're in town again.

We kept hearing that this was one of the must go to places for wings in Buffalo so we had to stop in. We ordered the buffalo wings, poutine and mozzarella sticks. The wings were definitely satisfying! They had a nice crisp to them, just the way I like my wings. If you're looking for good wings I would definitely recommend Gabriel's Gate!

This place is a real credit to buffalo, we were recommended to eat here and it seriously lived up to its reputation. The waitress was friendly and accommodating from the moment we walked in and made sure our glasses were never empty, the atmosphere was lovely and had a very local feel were you could just fit right in straight away. The food on the other hand was something completely different, if I could give it more stars I would have. The wings were the best I’ve ever had and coupled up with the blue cheese sauce just simply made my day, the poutine was great and the cheese sticks were perfect. I’ll definitely be going back.

Very great wing place in downtown Buffalo! Went here for my first time after the Sabres game the other day and it was great. It is very busy so maybe call a head and the wings do take a long time but they are amazing! We got the hot buffalo wings and they did not disappoint. There is also great beer on tap.

I order french onion soup pretty much every where that I can get it, but unfortunately it was way too salty to the point that no one on my table could have it either so I asked to take it back and remove it from my receipt. The wings were also a disappointment - asked for 2 wing sauces and both tasted the exact same, and confirmed they weren’t. Also received 2 less wings than what I had ordered. Our waitress was nice. 2 stars for that. Unfortunately due to the food, I won’t be returning.

Chose to eat at this awesome little place around the corner from our hotel in Buffalo. OmG! Great vibe, staff and food! We arrived around 5:30 and had to wait about 20 minutes for a table on a busy Saturday night, so we sat at the bar and had a couple of drinks before our table was ready (the waitresses were hustling! Drink prices for a glass of wine and a pint were far more reasonable than any restaurant that we’ve been to in a long time! Our waitress Shauna was incredibly attentive, made sure we were well taken care of. We split the Portobello Chicken with seasoned vegetables…sooo good! We saw them serving up a ton of wings to people around us and it was so tempting to order, but we held back. Maybe next time! If you’re looking for someplace with personality, with great service and quality food, Gabriel’s Gate is an awesome choice!
