Sometimes we like to delicately cut our food with polished silverware, immersing
ourselves in the elegance of upscale or fine dining, and sometimes we want to
get our hands dirty, devouring our favorite comfort food with reckless abandon.
Buffalo Wings and Rings, with multiple franchises scattered around Amman,
definitely lends towards the latter type of dining experience. This chain has
proven itself worthy of a serious review after excelling as the gold standard
when it comes to one thing: consistency.

Though some might
consider Buffalo a fast-food restaurant due to its many fried menu options, it
is technically a pub that serves affordable food and beverages, making it one
of the top options for a younger crowd that wants to enjoy a night out with
friends.
And this
night-out dining destination never disappoints when it comes to food items.
Patrons can rest assured that the chain offers consistent flavors across its
branches — from wings to sauces and fries, Buffalo’s recipe book delivers the
same tasty results, every time. This alone is a challenge for any restaurant.
Another star
should be given to Buffalo for the continuous variety it provides with seasonal
menu items. And frequent themed trivia nights give a lively vibe to the
establishment. All in all, Buffalo has built a brand that attracts diners who
love comfort food, affordable beverages, and fun nights out.
Wings: what they do best
The menu at Buffalo offers a wide variety of appetizers, salads, tacos,
burgers, wings, and desserts. We ordered the appetizer platter, wings, the
Asiana salad, and a steak sandwich from the promotional menu.
The appetizer
platter consists of multiple sharing items such as onion rings, mozzarella
sticks, loaded curly fries, and chicken bites. From a business perspective,
platters allow customers to try out different food items, and thus bring value
in providing a reference for subsequent orders. And for customers, it is a
go-to option for a group wanting to share multiple appetizers at a reasonable
price. The quantity of this platter was easily sufficient for three or four
people, especially if you order wings for your second course.
The Asiana salad
featured a massive portion size; it was probably enough for two people. The ingredients
include sweet chili popcorn chicken, mixed greens, corn, cucumbers, cheese, and
cherry tomatoes, with red vinegar.
I do not recall
the salad being very memorable, and the dressing-to-salad ratio was noticeably
low. Even though the chicken was flavorful with the sweet chili sauce, I did
not finish the dish, and asked for a box to take the salad to go.
The wings with
buffalo and garlic parmesan sauce never fail; the chicken was flavorful all
throughout. This is a masterpiece of sorts: it takes hours of preparation for
that little golden wing to reach your plate.
It’s all in the sauce
I am not sure about the full process at buffalo. Still, I would assume
that the wings are placed in brine, which is a salty water mixture that helps
season the chicken through to the bone. Otherwise, the chicken is likely placed
in a dairy-based marinade to tenderize it. Either way, the process to a
flavorful wing is time-consuming.
Another special
aspect of buffalo is that most of their sauces are homemade.
The steak
sandwich on the promotional menu looked too good to miss. I tried the classic
option, served with cheese on buttered toast.
When you think
about a steak sandwich, you want some type of juice or sauce to incorporate the
meat into the sandwich, instead of chewing through a dry, tough piece of beef.
Ideally, the cheese is also melty. In Buffalo’s steak sandwich, the flavor of
the meat was good, but the sandwich in general was dry, necessitating the
addition some ketchup and mayonnaise to make it more palatable.
The servers are
usually friendly, and most of them are college students. Even though I respect
the fact that this place is giving college students a chance to make a living
on the side, it can be quite challenging with the huge turnover to keep a consistent
service level.
Overall, you would not go
to a wings-specialized restaurant for their salads or their burgers. So,
setting those categories aside to comment on the restaurant as a whole, Buffalo
Wings & Rings will always be one of my go-to spots for comfort food, good
appetizers, and great wings. I give it a hearty recommendation for family
lunches, friend gatherings, or an affordable night out.
