Is That the Buffalo Shout I Hear?
Kick Your Heels up as Taste of Buffalo Brings Buffalo Traditions to Lake Norman
If you’ve never watched a Buffalo Bills game at Taste of Buffalo in Huntersville, honey, you are missing out. Picture this: the room buzzing with energy, Bills fans clapping and shouting after every touchdown, and even I—an unapologetic Steelers fan—found myself tempted to join in the chaos. There’s just something magical about the atmosphere. And let’s not forget the heart and soul of the place: Tim the Bartender. He’s got a smile as big as his personality, and serves a cold Labatt like it’s an art form with a wise crack or two as well. One visit and you’ll understand why this place feels like a family reunion—especially on game days.
Now, let’s talk about what really matters: the food. This menu is a Buffalo lover’s dream! From authentic Buffalo wings to beef on weck, haddock fish fry, and even Dole Whip, there’s no shortage of options. When Tim isn’t cracking jokes, he’s keeping the drinks flowing, while Jen’s creations in the kitchen steal the show. Case in point: the margherita pepperoni’s on pizza. I’ll admit, I wasn’t expecting to fall in love, but it was so good I almost asked it to marry me.
Oh, and the Stinger sandwich my friend Chris was eating? Chicken fingers, steak, and provolone cheese, all on a Costanzo roll that—listen, it’ll change the way you think about sandwiches. It’s the bread you never knew you needed in your life. I’m not even from Buffalo, but I now understand why these rolls are world-famous.
. You will find Chris here every week at a specially reserved table right by the restroom and smack in front of the televisions. He doesn’t miss a game!
I am admittedly a regular at Taste Of Buffalo for the WINGS…….I cannot get enough of the spicy garlic parmesan. Tim doesn’t even ask me anymore he just orders them when he sees me roll in with my family. It is a non-negotiable. These are my favorites in Lake Norman but don’t take it from me go see Tim!a close-up of the sandwich, can you almost taste it?
The ambiance is the reason to love Taste of Buffalo. It’s got all the charm of a cozy sports bar, with just the right amount of Buffalo nostalgia and Bills pride. The walls are decked out in sports memorabilia, and you can’t swing a chicken wing without hitting someone in a Bills jersey. Even if you’re not a die-hard fan (looking at you, fellow Steelers folks), the excitement is contagious. Watching a game here feels like you’re part of something special. Plus, when that Bills Shout song starts up, you’ll find yourself clapping along and ready to kick your heels up and shout—whether you like it or not.
Steve did go along with me on this adventure but the man was so into his football game and wings I couldn’t get his attention for a good picture so here is one of him anyway. Sorry Steve
Now, let’s be real—Taste of Buffalo isn’t exactly a temple of kale and quinoa, but they’ve got some surprises for those of us trying to stay on track. They offer cauliflower crust and gluten-free pizza options (major points for that), and their salads and wraps are perfect for keeping things light. But the real star of the healthy show? The wings. I don’t play around when it comes to wings, and you can feast on these without feeling like you’ve completely thrown in the towel on your diet. Sure, the temptations are real—but with a little smart ordering, you can indulge without the guilt.
But let’s not kid ourselves. The true magic of Taste of Buffalo isn’t just the food or even the healthier options—it’s the experience. The energy, the people, the Bills Shout song, and, of course, Tim bringing you another round of Labatt. Whether you’re cheering for the Bills or just along for the ride, this place is a guaranteed good time. So grab some wings, kick back, and let the Buffalo traditions sweep you off your feet.
