Few weeks back I got a chance to stop in to Buffalo Boys Hoagies to grab lunch. We’d done their register so I knew about them opening, but I wasn’t the one who worked on it so no one there knew who I was. I was there strictly as a normal customer. The store has a warehouse feel to it, its actually a small space, but the open ceiling and space gives it that feel. There’s about 8 tables to sit at, otherwise its take out for you! So I placed my order, I don’t know what I was thinking, I guess I wasn’t feeling very meaty, and ordered the Buffalo Blue chicken finger sub, from a place touting New York style hoagies. I know, I know, what a fool.
The sub arrives, breaded fried chicken tenders dipped in Franks hot sauce with shredded lettuce and tomato dressed with a blue cheese dressing. The bread is nice fresh toasted Bale bread, crunchy outside, soft inside. The chicken is Tyson, which actually is ok, but a touch dissapointing that it isn’t scratch made. I ordered it hot, the Frank’s sauce is pretty vinagary, my sandwhich is nowhere close to what I’d consider hot. Honestly I’ve had hotter from The Clown and The King.
The place is clean, the service fine. Value isn’t exactly cheap, but not entirely out of line. From this one food order, right now I’d have to give them a middle of the line 2.5 out of four NY monkeys. I think I’d have to get one of their steak hoagies to really make a fair and complete judgement. Their late hours until 3AM is an interesting decision. This strip at the end of King Street doesn’t strike me as a late night venue, but maybe it’ll work. There’s limited parking stalls behind the store, otherwise street parking along King.
