This is an exciting time for us! In 2006 we celebrated our 21-Year Anniversary and the year resulted in new restaurants in several states not previously served by the brand. 2007 is on target to also be a very good year for Buffalo’s Southwest Cafe new restaurant development as well as Buffalo's Express Café. We currently have restaurants under construction in Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, Texas, Puerto Rico and internationally in Saudi Arabia.

We believe what gives our concept strength is the collaboration of a very appealing and affordable menu, unique restaurant ambiance and exciting curb appeal. Our value-priced menu features many southwest style appetizers and entrees, accompanied by a variety of other tasty favorites such as our world famous buffalo-style chicken wings, homemade dressings, award winning chili, bountiful salads, steaks, desserts and more.

Buffalo's New Express Concept

The stampede continues… Just announced is the official introduction of our new Buffalo’s Express concept. This concept has been designed to provide
fast casual service in in-line space (1,800 to 2,000 sq. ft.), without the requirement of a liquor license and for a much lower start up cost. To-go and delivery will be a big part of this concept, while in-store dining will certainly be popular as well.

Buffalo’s Express is not intended to compete with nor replace our existing full service Buffalo’s Southwest Cafe restaurants (5,500 sq. ft.). It is our opinion that by offering free-standing full-service facilities as well as Express facilities that our franchisees will have a greater opportunity to become multi-unit operators

What Sets Buffalo's Apart? Two Concepts To Choose From

Our Menu - Menu Development
Buffalo's Southwest Cafe lunch stampede and dinner menus are highlighted by our award-winning, world famous Buffalo-style chicken wings. Voted "Best Wings" in the 2005 & 2006 Best of Atlanta annual contest.
