Duff's Famous Wings is a restaurant in Amherst, New York, a suburb of Buffalo.
The restaurant was established in 1946 under the name "Duff's", referencing its founder, Louise Duffney. In 1985, the restaurant was renamed "Duff's Famous Wings" after buffalo wings became its major selling point. Duff's Famous Wings is known throughout Western New York as having good wings and is noted for its rivalry with the Anchor Bar, the bar credited with inventing the chicken wing as a delicacy. In 2014, Duff's partnered with the Buffalo Bills to announce that a version of Duff's Famous Wings was added to Ralph Wilson Stadium.
Duff's was founded in 1946 and has grown to compete with the Anchor Bar with 5 Buffalo-area locations, a Dallas-area location in Southlake, Texas, and 3 locations in Canada. A location in Rochester, NY opened in early 2016, and an Atlanta-area location in Newnan, Georgia is expected to open in the fall of 2016.
