Originally Doubleday's was intended to be a sports bar with a
restaurant atmosphere but has evolved in to much more of a family
eatery.
The year was 1981. Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery had recently
transplanted to Kent, Ohio after living in Buffalo, New York. All was
fine until one day when the two were craving wings. Not just ordinary
wings, but authentic Buffalo, New York-style chicken wings. Only problem
was there was nowhere to get wings nearby. So Jim and Scott had two
choices to satisfy their appetite: they could either make a road trip to
New York or open a wing joint close to home. Lucky for us they chose the
latter. Hence, the beginning of Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck, now Buffalo
Wild Wings Grill & Bar, the no-holds-barred grill and bar that serves up
a healthy dose of fun with every batch of Buffalo chicken wings.
From the freshest bakery bread, to the finest fish selections, right
down to our famous homemade blue cheese dressing that accompanies our
award-winning chicken wings, each of our menu items is carefully
selected to ensure the highest quality and taste. We invite you to have
lunch or dinner at one of our three locations today!
