The original name of the restaurant was “Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck,” which referred to the classic Buffalo sandwich called “beef on weck.”
2 Beef on weck is a popular sandwich in Western New York that consists of thinly sliced roast beef served on a kummelweck roll, which is a type of roll topped with coarse salt and caraway seeds.
The addition of “weck” in the name was meant to acknowledge the founders’ Buffalo roots and to offer a local specialty on the menu. However, the name was eventually shortened to “Buffalo Wild Wings” as the chain expanded and the focus shifted to their famous chicken wings.
Buffalo Wild Wings has over 1,200 locations worldwide, including over 1,000 locations in the United States and 230 locations in 10 other countries.
3 The international locations are mostly located in the Middle East and Asia, including countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the Philippines, and Vietnam.
Buffalo Wild Wings has become a popular destination for sports fans and wing enthusiasts, and the chain continues to expand its reach both domestically and globally.
Buffalo Wild Wings is known for its chicken wings, which are available in a variety of flavours and sauces.
4 Some of the most popular flavours include mild, medium, hot, and blazing, but there are many other options to choose from as well. The chain’s signature sauces include traditional Buffalo-style sauce, sweet BBQ, Parmesan garlic, Asian zing, and Caribbean jerk, among others.
In addition to chicken wings, Buffalo Wild Wings also serves a variety of other menu items, including burgers, sandwiches, salads, and appetizers like mozzarella sticks and onion rings.
