The restaurant was established in 1946 under the name "Duff's", referencing its founder, Louise Duffney.[1] In 1985, the restaurant was renamed "Duff's Famous Wings" after Buffalo wings became its major selling point.[1] Duff's Famous Wings is known throughout Western New York as having good chicken wings[2][3][4] and is noted for its rivalry with the Anchor Bar, the bar credited with inventing the Buffalo wing. 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.[5]
Duff's was founded in 1946 and has grown to compete against the Anchor Bar with five Buffalo-area locations, a location in Rochester, a Dallas-area location in Southlake, Texas, and three locations in the Toronto area.
