Home of the original Buffalo wing, this decent size restaurant embraces their own sauces and mastery of wings. This is a franchised business however this location is the original. The wings were excellent, cooked made to order and came out crispy and drenched in sauce. We chose the medium or the original sauce that was created for the buffalo wings. It did have a bit of a kick but nothing out of the ordinary. It brought out the flavor of the chicken wings as well as adding that little extra. As an appetizer we ordered the pizza logs which are egg rolls with mozzarella and pepperoni that come with a marinara dipping sauce. Quite tasty and had a wonderful cheese pull. The spicy Hot Chicken Wing Soup is nothing short of its name. It's a chicken wing in soup form which pieces of the chicken throughout. Definitely a spot to check out if you're ever in Buffalo NY. They also sell their sauces throughout the restaurant and in the airport as well so you can enjoy it wherever your...
Read moreBeing a fan of Buffalo Wings and having eaten them at most places in my homestate of New Jersey, it only made sense to give Anchor Bar a shot on our way through Buffalo.
The setting of the place is very cool! Lots of memorabilia and pictures on the walls of celebrities who have eaten there. Rather spacious, as we only had to wait about five minutes to get a table.
The fried pickles as an appetizer was an excellent choice! Very tasty! 20 wings in medium sauce was the main course. The sauce itself was very flavorful and had a bit of heat to it. Not to overpowering, just enough kick to keep you coming back for more! However, I personally thought that the wings were a bit too crispy/overcooked. I found them to be tough and a little hard to chew. I wish they had been softer.
I'm still happy I can say that I ate at the Anchor Bar, and would encourage anyone else to give the place a...
Read moreAs a local who has eaten at hundreds of wings places in WNY, I can say these wings ( and pizza )are not good ...we ordered medium hot wings(extra crispy) and the wings had no heat at all and were soggy. The pizza we ordered was also terrible. The place was not busy since it was mid-afternoon.. I haven't been here in about 10 years and I remember that was a bad experience as well, but I thought I'd give them another chance. With all the great wing places in WNY ( Bar Bills in EA, 9-11, Elmos, Mulberry's, and the vast majority of local pizza restaurants around WNY) this place shouldn't be on anyone's radar for wings .. my advice .. get some new cooks or better train the ones you have...the wings might have been invented here, but it's been over 20 years since they've properly prepared...
