Exhibit 99.1

                        Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. Plans to
                    Acquire Las Vegas Franchised Restaurants

                Also Announces Two-For-One Stock Split



   MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 18, 2007--Buffalo Wild Wings,
Inc. (Nasdaq:BWLD), today announced the exercise of a right of first
refusal to acquire the assets of nine Buffalo Wild Wings franchised
restaurants in the Las Vegas, Nevada area, which includes one unit
that is currently under construction. The Company also announced a
two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend to its
shareholders.

   Franchised Restaurant Acquisition

   The Company expects the acquisition, if completed, to close in the
fourth quarter of 2007 and, with the exception of one-time transaction
costs, to be accretive to earnings. These restaurants are currently
operated by Bill Welter, whom the Company intends to retain as a
consultant after closing. Average weekly sales for the eight existing
restaurants over the last twelve months, which includes food,
beverage, and gaming revenues, exceeded $55,000. The Company
anticipates funding the purchase price of approximately $26 million
with available cash and marketable securities.

   Sally Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented,
"Las Vegas is an excellent market for Buffalo Wild Wings and we see
opportunity for further growth and development. Bill and his team have
done an incredible job of winning loyal guests by building a strong
connection with the communities in which the restaurants are located.
With Bill's help, we hope to continue this great tradition."

   Mr. Welter remarked, "Buffalo Wild Wings has built a distinct
brand that is taking root nationally, and my family and I have enjoyed
contributing to this success by establishing the brand in the Las
Vegas market. It has been gratifying to lead this effort over the past
seven years. I look forward to working with this great team to
capitalize on remaining opportunities within the market and am pleased
that our Las Vegas team members will benefit from being a part of an
organization with a strong national brand and great resources."

   The acquisition is subject to purchase price adjustments and a
holdback that would protect the Company if opening of the unfinished
unit is delayed. The transaction also remains dependent on execution
of a definitive asset purchase agreement, receipt of necessary
approvals for gaming and liquor licenses (which are expected to take
several months), lease assignments, and other customary closing
conditions.

   Two-for-One Stock Split

   The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a
two-for-one stock split of its outstanding shares of Common Stock. The
stock split will be effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend to
shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 1, 2007.
The Company expects that its transfer agent will issue the additional
shares on or about June 15, 2007. Each shareholder will receive one
additional share of Buffalo Wild Wings Common Stock for every one
share owned. The Company had 8,775,849 shares of Common Stock
outstanding as of May 15, 2007.

   The Company's stock has more than tripled since the time of its
initial public offering when it closed at $22.95 on the first day of
public trading on November 21, 2003. Yesterday, the closing price of
Buffalo Wild Wings' stock was $79.17.

   Ms. Smith added, "We are pleased to announce this stock split,
because we believe it will place the market price of our stock in a
more attractive range to investors and increase the liquidity of our
shares."
