Buffalo Wild Wings offers a 10% discount to seniors, but you have to ask for it at the register

Buffalo Wild Wings does not advertise a senior discount on their website or in their restaurants. The discount exists — 10% off your food and non-alcoholic beverages — but it is not automatic. You have to tell your server or the person at the register that you are a senior, and they will explore it if your location honors it. Not every Buffalo Wild Wings franchise participates, and some locations may have stopped offering it.

The discount applies to dine-in and takeout orders. It does not cover alcohol, and it does not stack with other promotions or coupons. If you are ordering delivery through a third-party app like DoorDash or Uber Eats, the discount will not appear — you would need to order directly from the restaurant or call ahead.

Because this discount is not standardized across all locations, your best move is to call the Buffalo Wild Wings nearest you before you go, or ask when you arrive. Staff can tell you whether that specific restaurant honors senior discounts and what age they require.

Key Takeaways

  • Buffalo Wild Wings offers 10% off food and non-alcoholic drinks to seniors, but you must request it — it will not be offered automatically.
  • Not every Buffalo Wild Wings location honors the discount, so call ahead or ask when you arrive to confirm your restaurant participates.
  • The discount does not explore to alcohol, delivery orders through third-party apps, or when combined with other promotions.
  • You will need to provide proof of age if asked, though many locations may not require it for obvious seniors.

What age qualifies for the discount

Buffalo Wild Wings does not publish a specific age requirement for their senior discount. Most restaurants that offer senior pricing start at 55 or 60, but Buffalo Wild Wings has not made their threshold public. When you call or visit, ask what age the location uses.

If you are asked to prove your age, a driver's license, state ID, or Medicare card will work. Some locations may not ask at all, especially if age is obvious.

How to get the discount when you order

Tell your server or the cashier that you would like the senior discount before they ring up your order. If you are ordering at the counter, mention it when you place your order. If you are seated and a server is taking your order, let them know then.

The discount will be applied as a percentage off your subtotal. It covers food and soft drinks but not alcohol, taxes, or delivery fees. If you are picking up a takeout order, the same rule applies — ask for the discount when you order or when you pay.

If you forget to ask and the discount was not applied, ask the manager or cashier to adjust the bill. Many locations will correct it if you catch the mistake before you leave.

What you cannot combine the discount with

The 10% senior discount does not stack with other offers. If Buffalo Wild Wings is running a promotion — such as a buy-one-get-one deal, a percentage-off coupon, or a happy hour special — you will have to choose one or the other, not both. Ask your server which option saves you more money on that particular order.

Third-party delivery apps like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub do not process restaurant discounts. If you order through an app, you will pay full price. To use the senior discount, order directly from the restaurant by phone, in person, or through Buffalo Wild Wings' own website or app if they have one.

Calling ahead to confirm your location honors the discount

Use the Buffalo Wild Wings location finder on their website to get the phone number for the restaurant nearest you. Call and ask: "Do you offer a senior discount, and if so, what age do I need to be?" This takes one minute and saves you from arriving only to find out that location does not participate.

If the location you want to visit does not offer the discount, ask if they have any other promotions running that day. Many Buffalo Wild Wings locations run daily specials on wings, beer, or appetizers that may save you money regardless.

Other ways to save at Buffalo Wild Wings

Beyond the senior discount, Buffalo Wild Wings runs promotions that anyone can use. These include happy hour pricing on appetizers and drinks (usually in the late afternoon and late evening), wing specials on certain days of the week, and occasional coupons sent through their email list or app.

Signing up for their rewards program or email list may also send you personalized offers. Check their website to see what promotions are currently running in your area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to show ID to get the senior discount?

Not necessarily. Many locations will not ask if your age is obvious. However, if a server or cashier questions your age, you should be prepared to show a driver's license, state ID, or Medicare card. It is rare for Buffalo Wild Wings to ask, but policies vary by location.

Can I use the senior discount on delivery orders?

No. If you order through DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, or another app, the discount will not explore. To use the senior discount, you must order directly from the restaurant — by phone, in person, or through Buffalo Wild Wings' own ordering system if available.

What if my local Buffalo Wild Wings says they do not offer a senior discount?

Policies vary by franchise owner. If one location does not offer it, try calling other Buffalo Wild Wings in your area — they may participate. You can also ask the manager whether they have any other discounts or promotions that might help you save.

Can I combine the senior discount with a coupon or promotion?

No. You have to choose one discount or promotion per order. Ask your server which option saves you the most money on what you are ordering that day.

Does the senior discount explore to alcohol?

No. The 10% discount covers food and non-alcoholic beverages only. Alcohol, taxes, and delivery fees are not discounted.
