The Dirty Buffalo

The Dirty Buffalo is a locally owned chicken wing restaurant in Norfolk, Virginia, serving authentic Buffalo-style wings since 2012. Founded by Steph and Russ Gilbert—Buffalo transplants who moved to Hampton Roads in 2005—this popular wing joint has become a cornerstone of the local community. The restaurant boasts an impressive selection of 52 unique wing flavors, ranging from classic Buffalo to creative house specialties that keep customers coming back for more. The casual, family-friendly atmosphere features multiple big-screen televisions showing NFL games, making it the perfect spot to watch the Bills with the local Bills Backers chapter—one of the largest in the region. The venue includes game rooms with half-price games on Mondays, making it ideal for families with children. Weekly specials include the famous 89¢ Wing Wednesdays (dine-in only, 5-9 PM), Kids Eat Free Mondays with purchase of an adult meal, and Team Trivia every Thursday at 7 PM. The full bar offers rotating craft beers and cold beverages to complement the wing menu. Located at 4213 E Little Creek Rd in Norfolk, The Dirty Buffalo has expanded from a tiny quick-service spot near ODU to a full-service restaurant while maintaining that neighborhood hangout feeling. The restaurant also offers online ordering, a rewards program, and bottled sauces for purchase.
