Company Introduction

It all started with a craving.
In 1982, two friends from Buffalo, New York, Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery, had just moved to Ohio. They couldn’t find real Buffalo-style chicken wings anywhere, so they decided to open their own place. That first restaurant grew into Buffalo Wild Wings, a brand that became known for great wings, bold flavors, and a love of sports.
Buffalo Wild Wings GO carries that same spirit forward. GO is designed for today’s guests who want all the flavor and excitement of Buffalo Wild Wings in a fast and convenient takeout and delivery setting. The food is the same, the energy is the same, but the experience is built around speed and simplicity.
