Buffalo Wild Wings: (chain)
One of the newest restaurant/clubs in town. Ya order at the counter when you walk in, then wave a little electronic device when it signals you that your food is ready. I know this must cut down on the cost somehow, but I am not crazy about the system. Lots of munchie-type stuff. Wings that will put hair on your tongue and burn your chest, or something like that. Large capacity room with lots o' tvs. Pretty high noise level. Live music on occasion.
