What is Worth Choosing

For first-time visitors or loyal customers in the Arizona area, there are a few items at The Buffalo Spot that represent the core of their culinary appeal and are absolutely worth choosing.

The undisputed champion of the menu is the Buffalo Fries. It’s the signature dish for a reason: golden, crispy fries piled high and topped with fresh, diced chicken and the customer's sauce of choice, then drizzled with the famously tasty Special Sauce. Opting for the Regular or Large size of the Buffalo Fries is highly recommended, as this dish truly showcases the restaurant's unique twist on classic comfort food. You can even try the epic Boss Fries if you’re feeding a party, which offers four delicious Buffalo Fries all in one.

For those who prefer a wrapped option, the Cali Burrito is another standout choice. This isn't a traditional burrito; it ingeniously wraps the delicious Buffalo Fries, diced sauced chicken, and the special sauce into a chipotle tortilla, creating a portable, flavor-packed, and satisfying meal that is distinct from typical fast-food offerings.

Finally, exploring the sauce selection is essential. While the chicken wings (both Traditional and Boneless) and tenders are excellent canvases, be sure to request a side of the famous Special Sauce, an in-house creation that adds a tangy, signature element to any dish. Pair your savory selection with one of the decadent, thick Hand Crafted Shakes, such as the Peanut Butter Cup Shake, for a complete and highly satisfying experience that embodies the fun and flavorful spirit of The Buffalo Spot.

First time here, not sure I will be back. I ordered a chicken Cesar wrap with the Cesar on the side. Got back to work and opened the bag, got a salad with no Cesar... Now I have no lunch :(. The girl that took my order was nice enough, but disappeared after. I'm guessing that's why I didn't get the dressing. Oh and they didn't have any sweetner of any kind for the tea. The salad might be good, but I had to give 2 star for that cause I have no idea. Oh, and I asked for ketchup for the fries . Didn't get that either :(**Edit** Made it back in and was fully taken care of, including trying various sauces before I made a choice. Manager on duty was very nice.

I had an excellent experience here thanks to Adam and Hunter. Adam was working quickly and efficiently while still taking the time to keep us updated on his progress, making us feel like a priority even as he handled his responsibilities. The food came out fast, and both Adam and Hunter made sure everything was right. Hunter checked on us multiple times with genuine care, making sure we had everything we needed. Their teamwork and professionalism really stood out, and they turned a simple visit into a very positive experience. Because of them, I’ll definitely be coming back. No negatives at all — just great service and great people.

This is my 1st and probably my last time ordering from this location. I ordered some food for Me, My fiancé, and my 2 year old son on Sept. 9 through Door dash. My issues are as follows:1st, I paid for a small side of Ranch and I didn't get it.2nd, I ordered a Large, Normal, and Small of the Buffalo fries. The chicken was XTRA XTRA CRISPY ON ALL FOR THEM! Like the oil that they fried them in should've been changed. The worse part? At least me and my fiancé were able to endure the dryness of the chicken due the sauces making it a little less dry....My son however WASN'T EVEN ABLE TO EAT HIS CHICKEN!!!! My son doesn't like sauce on his chicken. So, his chicken was SUPER XTRA HARD! He could only eat the fries.3rd, I called the store to tell them that the service I received was horrible, RESPECTFULLY THO! Not yelling or cussing people out but just to make a compliant, and I swear that I got hung up on. I tried calling back but it just kept saying the line was busy. So I waited like 15 mins and called back. The girl who answered said so didn't know what happened with the call but it felt like they just don't want to hear me complain about THEIR customer service.4th, Lastly this was simply just a waste of my time, waste of my money and a waste of food. I couldn't even go back to the store for them to fix the order. The reason I ordered through DD (Door dash) is because I'm currently having car problems and can't drive ANYWHERE at the moment. So, for me to pay for this food and have it delivered just for it to be super underwhelming and sorta inedible is like a slap to the face.I usually don't write bad reviews at all but this was truly a horrible and frustrating experience.
