Buffalo Wild Wings GO is officially celebrating its grand opening in Astoria this Friday, May 30, with a community ribbon cutting, free samples and a chance for early birds to win wings for a year.
Located at 22-76 31st St., the new fast-casual restaurant will begin festivities at 10 a.m., rewarding the first 25 guests in line with a “Free Wings for a Year” voucher, good for six wings each week for 52 weeks.

The Astoria location quietly opened earlier this year but will now officially welcome the community with Friday’s event. Buffalo Wild Wings GO, launched in 2020, is a streamlined version of the brand’s traditional sports bar model, offering takeout, delivery and limited in-store seating.
