The Cincinnati based Buffalo Wings & Rings is considered a casual dining restaurant and it had 7 locations when Philip Schram took over the franchise.  He entrusted it to Nader Masedeh and Haytham David and they developed the company into a national franchise with over 40 locations in 15 states.  Since Philip Schram is a locomotive enthusiast he has incorporated this into the decor of some of the restaurants and it is part of the package for all new restaurants as well.  They showcase locomotive memorabilia or even G scale rail decor as well.  He even went as far as to set up a train that children can control by pressing a button in the Union Township location of the restaurant.  The company was also recently recognized by Restaurant Magazine as the fastest growing restaurant chain in the United States.

Buffalo Wings & Rings is known for their wings, but this is mainly because they offer up to 45 different flavor combinations.  They offer 9 signature sauces and you get to choose from five different levels of heat as well.  They also offer Gyros, sandwiches, wraps, burgers and more.  The menu is very each to follow and there is something on it for nearly everybody.  These items are all offered in the free standing sports bar model, but they also offer many of them in the newer express model of the restaurant that caters to larger carry out orders and the fast food variety.
