Buffalo-based chicken chain Duff’s Famous Wings says it will open a new location in the former home of Ellaโs Americana Folk Art Cafe, which closed last September.
The company made the announcement on social media yesterday, adding that the new outpost should debut sometime in May, and that “more locations are on the way.”
Named after the founder, Louise Duffney, the first Duff’s opened in 1946 in the suburbs of Buffalo, New York, and has since grown to multiple locations in the area and Texas. According to the website, this will be the first Duff’s location in Florida.
Known for its Buffalo-style wings, the menu also spans everything from fish and steak sandwiches, burgers, wraps, salads, chicken tenders and more. There’s also a beer and wine list.
Duff’s is no stranger to Tampa Bay. Last summer, the company hosted a pop-up event at GenX Tavern in downtown Tampa.
