Reviews For The Hot Buffalo

The food was very good and big portion size to which is very nice. I had the pizza rolls and fries and my girl had the chicken wings and fried pickles. They have wide selection of mild to hot sauces for your wings to chose from along with a good selection of beer to wash them down. The waitress was very nice and helpful and made the experience even that more better. I 100% suggest you stop in and grab a wing or 20 if you find yourself in Holden Beach North Carolina.

Great fast service. Healthy portion sizes. Lots of choices of various degrees of heat for your wings. The BEST onion rings we have had in years! Put this place on your must visit stops when you are at the beach!

We had an Amazing experience. The wings were meaty and cooked perfectly. We had the Spicy Lemon Pepper and Spicy Garlic Parmesan. The house chips were some of the best we have ever had! If you are in the Holden Beach Area this is a go-to place for excellent wings, amazing appetizers and sides, watching sports, and a great gathering place with friends or family.

This place is a tad pricey but it's close to the beach. 17.00 for 10 wings with no fries. Pizza rolls were not as good as I would expect. Looked overdone. Wings were ok. Nothing special but weren't bad. Holden drink was good.

The wings were awesome. Crispy and tasty, we loved them. Also had 3 appetizers that were very good too. Servers were friendly. Only one problem, it is very small and can be loud inside, but we enjoyed the food so much, will definitely go back for more.

Our first time in Holden Beach. Just the two of us. I was craving some wings. Just off Island was The Hot Buffalo. We went early and were seated immediately. Thank goodness they had extra crispy (my wife only likes them that way). 15 medium 15 garlic parm. Came out hot, just the way we like them. Service was great. If we love in Holden Beach we'd be there often. Also if you are a Bills fan, it's a spot for you. Lots of sports stuff and big tvs to watch whatever is on. Definitely recommend it.
