I see lots of people commenting about food places and what they would like to see come to Brandon. I believe a buffalo wild wings would popular here as everyone enjoys wings and it would be a wing based restaurant. Also it would be a place to view all sports games. check it out http://www.buffalowildwings.com/en-CA/

I think it would do good in Brandon. One of my favorite places in the states.

Love them as well!  
 
 
 
But have checked into it a few years ago alot of "franchise" things to do. Like has to be on a corner etc etc  
 
Non the less i would be a constant customer if it was in brandon!

in Hamilton for work and ate there almost every night, cause it was across the road from the hotel. It was amazing and would be so much nicer than another burger joint. Although it's still a franchise, it's something that Brandon doesn't already have. Originals Joes, is not much different then Browns. And you can only have so many of the same types of food choices, don't want to name names, but there is just a lot of the same types of eating places in such a small area. The only thing I hated about Buffalo Wild Wings was it took too long to figure out what to order!

It is always nice to think of different restaurants that one has gone to in other cities and think they would do well here in Brandon.  
 
However when thinking of having them in Brandon anyone that is actually thinking of opening one here, has to remember that there is only so much pie to go around, especially when it is a very similar type that is already here and doing well. It just makes each one's piece a little smaller until the slice is so thin that all restaurants suffer and then the public will suffer too as some will not be profitable enough to keep in operation.  
Very detailed research has to be done. Demographics, how often the average person goes to a fast food restaurant, how often to a higher end place, the average amount spent by the population on restaurant food, etc etc etc. And actually watch each of the others for 4-6 weeks and see what the patterns are here in town. It is not just about can we entice business away from somewhere else,,, or at least shouldn't be because the same can and will be done to you if you open,  
See, with the two threads presently going on here, we already have lots of similar fine places already.  
With Buffalo Wild Wings we have The Dock, Double Decker, 34th Street Bar and Grill, Boston Pizza, Smitty's, AppleBees and a couple of others, Browns.  
With a "burger place" we already have all the ones I mentioned about Buffalo Wild Wings (as they already have good burgers) but there is also Five Guys, Humptys, Huggies, Joe Beaver, Echos, and Chalet have a good homemade burger.  
Also, if we had all the "good restaurants" in Brandon,, then you wouldn't be able to go to some other city and say I really had a good so and so at--  
Why not think of something really different like Golden Corral Steak Buffet, Culvers ( up scale family bugers and sandwiches) Monks, Mongolian BBQ or Mustards Last Stand Delicacy Hot Dogs(52 kinds of dogs)

Now that would be great news, love their wings.

It wasn't that long ago, about 10 years maybe, that a research had determined that The City of Brandon had more eating establishments per capita than any other city in Canada !!

Yes, I have been to Buffalo Wild Wings a number of times but mainly due to convenience of where they were located.  
 
Their wings are nothing special... They are batch cooked by the hundreds as plain wings and then the sauces are applied as per order.  
 
A much better wing is actually slow cooked in the flavor sauce itself, and we have a few places in Brandon that actually do that and have the games on too.

SparkyJones said "I would like to see the city of Brandon support whats here. how many places have opened and closed in the last ten years due to lack of support?     how about be happy with what you have!   want a red lobster? Move to where there is a red lobster then. Want a Georges Burgers? Google will tell you where the nearest one is.     we need to embrace our wide diversity when it come to local establioshments. Franchises, other than paying wages, don't typically support the community they are in.     There are lots of places in Brandon that do wings too!!     there are a ton of choices for such a small city. Sure we may not have an Olive Garden or an Origional Joe's. But we do have a Sabor Latino, Tana Ethiopian Cusine, Sushi Hut, Clay Pot, Mum's Restaurnat. Plenty of original one of a kind places that have their roots in Brandon. Instead of thinking about what you 'want' how about be happy with what you have!     end of rant ~Sparky Jones~ "

but I was driving by the superstore the other day ad say a sign in the new building on the north side of Victoria saying something about authentic Mexican and a few others but was driving and missed half of what it said. Is this what you are talking about when you said Sabor Latina or Tana? I'm not from Brandon and are always looking for something good other than all the normal box food on 18th.
