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 sick of the DJ.
