The Buffalo Spot - Lakewood — Restaurant in Lakewood

Pardon me, do you have any buffalo chips? giggle

Formerly a Wingstop, The Buffalo Spot is basically the same with a new moniker. Known for their "world famous" buffalo fries, my interest & appetite were piqued on a Sunday afternoon.

Various sauces to satisfy most customers, special seasoning blends are also available for an extra charge. After a quick glance at the menu, I went with a small order of buffalo fries with Jamaican jerk sauce.

Jamaican jerk buffalo fries (small)- A subtle heat that creeps up on you, the Jamaican jerk sauce had a nice sweet flavor. The fries were perfectly cooked. A crunchy exterior, housing a fluffy interior, the buffalo seasoning kicked things up a notch w/o being overly salty. I was a little reticent at first ordering a small, but the portion proved to be a wise choice, as any more and I would've grown bored with the monotony of eating the same thing. One recommendation I can give the Buffalo Spot, is to add some greens to their fries - green onions, chives, etc. I believe that is the missing component to their dish and would complete their offering.

A Pepsi freestyle-like machine serves up the refreshments. I haven't seen Pepsi's version before, and found the screen vibrant & dazzling. It's also more user-friendly, as sparkling water can be dispensed from the main menu.

The Buffalo Spot has various deals, like Boneless Wing Tuesday, and other specials.

Service was okay. I spied one worker on the register, taking calls & giving out orders, with one in the kitchen. I waiting abnormally longer than I believe I should have, considering almost everything on the menu is fried. I was in no particular hurry, so I didn't mind that much, just noting it for my review. Others seemed a little bothered by the wait, though. As I ate, more & more people were anxiously expecting their orders. More staff is a must to keep up with the demand.

A fair amount of seating via tables, the Buffalo Spot is not a place for large groups. XXL & Billboard covers adorn the walls, with a The Buffalo Spot graffiti work prominently displayed. Parking is in a private lot shared by Starbucks, a smoke shop & other businesses.

While Wingstop moved a few blocks away, I found the Buffalo Spot to be a comparable alternative. The buffalo fries hit the spot for the French fry deficit I've been experiencing. More employees on staff would definitely improve the logistics of the restaurant & I hope the Buffalo Spot reads this and takes thought on the subject. But, as for the food, I enjoyed my meal.

Highly...

Ordered from here a few weeks ago when I had covid. I ordered from their website and choose to have it delivered by Toast. I've had pizza delivered by Toast before so didn't give it a second thought. Said my order would be delivered in 20-30 mins. I live 2 lights away, super close. After an hour, I called them to ask where my order was and the guy on the phone says oh I didn't even realize it was for delivery, so he says well who did you choose for delivery, Grub Hub? I said no Toast, and he said well we cant deliver it, I said unfortunately I cant come get it, I have Covid and he says well we have your information here let me speak to my manager and I said please, your website offers alot of different delivery options and I had no idea I was supposed to pick a certain one. I had ordered a shake, chicken and onion rings. Needless to say, No one called me back and they got $17 and some change of my money. Will never go hear again. Poor...

We go at least once a month (or at least try to) as to treat ourselves with the best fries and Buffalo chicken (I always get the original bbq... Billy always gets the original lemon pepper)... this month, we decided to splurge a little more and get the Buffalo Spot Shakes for dessert.. I had the Reeses, and Billy had the Oreo ..omg!!!! So freaking delicious.. with money being kinda tight these days .. it's great when you find a place that will always be amazing..and not be a waste of hard earned money..EVERYTIME!! but only this location. We've had other locations that are named the same.. but nah..no thanks .. but for this one right here in Lakewood.. We would drive 50 miles out of the way if needed to be sure that when we will leave there we know we will be completely satisfied...
