About Buffalo's Southwest Cafe
Our first restaurant opened its doors in 1985 in Roswell, Georgia. Since
then, we’ve grown to over 25 Buffalo’s Cafe restaurants around the world
(with plenty more coming soon to a city near you). Revered by our fans
for our world-famous buffalo-style chicken wings and sauces - Buffalo’s
Cafe is committed to serving the highest quality, fresh never frozen,
buffalo-style chicken wings and sauces in a family-friendly environment
with an exceptional guest experience. Most importantly, all you really
need to know "About Us” are these two things: Wings and Family. Why are
these so important to us? Because that’s what our fans want and that’s
what we care about - making our fans happy.
For qualified individuals, Buffalo's Southwest Cafe can be a great opportunity for single or multi-unit operators.
