Went on a Thursday night and was busy all night, beer was cold and wings were great. They have many different wings and they are cooked nice and crispy. Will go there again

Located in a strip plaza off Millersport Highway, Elmo's has been a reliable spot for lunch or dinner for at least 40 years that I can remember. They are as good today as they were in the 1980's, they remained open during Covid, and the quality has remained solid. Whereas chicken wings at most other establishments have been getting smaller in recent years, Elmo's continues to serve large, plump wings cooked exactly as you like them. In my case, I like them extra crispy with medium sauce. Their chili as they prepare and serve it is mild, but they will bring hot sauce to your table so you can make it as aggressive as you'd like. Their burgers are a decent size, they cook it exactly as you order it, and they are generous with the lettuce tomatoes and onions. For a dollar upgrade you can get onion rings instead of fries on the side and the onion rings are quite good. They don't have a huge selection of beers, but the beer they do carry is served, icy cold, in appropriate glasses, and their inventory turns over quickly, so you know you're getting fresh product. The bartenders mix a decent drink, not overflowing with ice. The restrooms are more than adequate. They have a dartboard for the patrons to use and very attentive waitresses and bus staff. They charge slightly less if you pay in cash. I have never been disappointed at Elmo's.

Our server Becky was great! She explained to us when we walked in that food service may take a while. We had a table for 5with drinks and talking didn't seem long to us!! Great person to have in your Business she's great !!!

Most expensive bottle of beer I've found in wny. Cheaper to go to Salvatore's. Wings are also little overpriced. Anywhere else 10 wings are $15.00

Bomb wings and just a great local pub with cheap beer! The Cajun honey mustard on the pit are to die for.

I walked in and asked for help. The bartender never acknowledged us. As an out-of-towner and being referred to this place I was excited. I felt extremely uncomfortable by the way I was treated by the staff. It was late and it felt like locals were given preferential treatment. Furthermore, not being acknowledged by the staff is unacceptable. I will never visit an Elmos again.

2nd time here, 1st time was not impressed decided to give it another chance, Wings were very small, cold, and dry. Out of the 20 We got 10 were the mangled type no one wants. Not in my top 20 places to get wings.

I dont see what all the hype is about. got a fish fry and 2 kinds of wings. the wings weren't hot when they came, they were over done and dry. the fish was just ok but the sides tasted like they came out of a bucket. waited a long time for everything. I won't be back.

The best wings in town, which is saying a lot. And the wings are only second to the staff - the friendliest in town. The bartenders and servers are excellent. I have memories going to Elmos as a kid and now to be a regular and share new memories with my family is amazing. Some variety in bottled beer would be a nice touch from time to time. I do crave a nice Guinness or a seasonal beer at times.
So disappointing. Over the last year Elmo's has really gone downhill. Last night they left off part of my order so I had to go back and pick it up. When I got home I noticed that the wings were small and they'd shorted me a few wings in my "triple play". The sauces were good and the wings cooked fine when ordered extra crispy. The last time we went the wings were undercooked and the sauces were inconsistent. With Wingnutz now open just down the street, Elmo's had better get their quality back under control or they won't last.

It's a sports bar with a limited menu and televisions. The Chilli was good as were the drinks. The wings looked good and seemed popular. Behind the bar was visible and clean. I'd go back and try the wings.

Great wings, very good and friendly service. Reasonable prices. Decent beer on tap. Pleasant atmosphere, and they can handle groups of 6-8 efficiently.

Outstanding wings. Definitely a place to place when your in buffalo. This needs to be on the wing trail

Very nice service, suggested the sauces and were very good. The wings were crispy and so were the fries. It's definitely like a small pub vibe and there seemed to be a lot of repeat customers and has a dart board.
