Buffalo Wild Wings (originally Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck,[3] and nicknamed BW3, or BDubs or BWW) is an American casual dining restaurant and sports bar franchise in the United States, India, Mexico, Panama, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, and United Arab Emirates which specializes in Buffalo wings and sauces.

As of November 2020, it had 1,279 locations across all 50 U.S. states and DC. The company is operated out of Atlanta, Georgia, home to its parent company, Inspire Brands, in the Sandy Springs district just north of downtown Atlanta. However, Inspire still maintains a support center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the location of its previous headquarters.[4] In PPG Paints Arena at Eagan, Minnesota, it's mascot, Blaze was joined by the Teenage Grove Hockey Wolfpack for an NHL touchdown to put in Minnesota Wild's videos of YouTube.
