Great restaurant! As a Buffalo native, I have to admit, this Anchor Bar location tops all the rest back home in 716. Staff was friendly and nice to converse with, the food was great, and the vibe was true to the original location in the heart of Buffalo!
We ordered the split which get's you a beef on weck and chicken wings, the best option on the menu. Unfortunately they were out of the coveted Pizza Logs however I'll be going back soon to make sure those are legit! Labatt and Molsen are also great options for beer while you're here and make sure you/your kids get the Loganberry! The only thing that would make this place better is to have more WNY beer availability. There are so many good breweries in WNY, I know everyone down here would thoroughly enjoy some Big Ditch, EBC, Hamburg, 12 Gates, Southern Tier, Resurgence or Flying Bison beers either on tap or even in cans. Get some WNY beers in here and you've got a grand slam option for dining!
2021-09: update
I’ve now been here a good number of time since opening. Here’s a better update. The pizza logs are still great, they’re a must have for anyone!!! The wings however, have been very hit or Miss on both wing size and prep. You can’t always control what you buy however the prep, cook time, temp, texture, all controllable. And they’ve been all over the map. The Buffalo sauce too, sometimes medium is mild, sometimes it’s been a little hit, while others it’s just right. Hit or miss. $10 for the Anchor Dip or the fried cauliflower is a bit much. The dip is very small, just enough for 2 people to share. The cauliflower didn’t have any crunch, it’s batter red and deep fried, but no crunch! Would have been great if properly prepared however still too small on the portion for what you’re paying for.
Service too, not so great. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had to ask for water, side plates or even silverware. To me, if these are not an A+ without asking, there is service issues.
The only other issue is on game days, GET RID OF THE DJ!!!! Or have him play music at AN APPROPRIATE VOLUME LEVEL. And the stupid train horn, give it up man, it’s not going to catch on. Again, at a reasonable volume, so whatever amuses you. But after having watched 4-5 games here on Sundays, everyone around me, not even just my group, is flat out...
Read moreThis is a real shame. The wings were delicious, though they came out dry and I had to ask for extra sauce to pour over them, but the flavor was perfect. The shame part was the service. We arrived at 10:15pm on a Saturday night and there was only one other couple in the restaurant and they were already eating when we arrived. We ordered by 10:30. Simple order: just 10 wings, garlic bread, grilled chicken sandwich and fries. It was over 30 minutes before we finally received the wings and 45 (!!) minutes for the chicken sandwich and fries to come out! This would be unacceptable even if the restaurant were full of patrons, but when we were literally the only people who had ordered food?? Completely unacceptable and ridiculous. Noone ever came and told us there was any kind of problem in the kitchen. We flagged down our waitress and the host at different times and I guess they went and checked, but still no food in all that time. And after having complained to both about the wait time, one would think that a manager would come out and apologize, explain the wait, offer something, anything. But we never saw anyone.
Also, the food is overpriced. $12.99 for 10 wings with no sides. Sides like fries were $3.99. $7.99 for 4 small pieces of garlic bread and $11.99 for the chicken sandwich with a tiny little piece of chicken.
So it was a disappointing experience that, as I said before, was a shame because those wings were really good. With that kind of service, they won't last long unless they get their act together and take care of the customers. For their sake, I...
