Opinions de Anchor Bar Buffalo
My family and I had a great time at the Anchor! Being fans of Buffalo wings, we had to make a stop at the spot of origination for this tasty food while touring colleges in the area for my son. Our waitress was great and our wait time for our meals was short. The wings were delicious, but don't go looking for anything spectacular. Don't get me wrong- they were great, but nothing different than any other kind of wings out there. We were there more for the nostalgia. The atmosphere is cool- a lot of license plates are all over the walls, and it's a pretty large bar that seats quite a few people! Definitely go if you get the chance if you're a wing lover! You won't be disappointed!
The wings are as good as usual. Tried two new things: anchor bar style pizza and potato with cheese. The pizza is quite tough on the surface but have a soft and juicy inside. They might just use broil mode to bake the pizza to get the crust. Interesting combination
Cauliflower wings and impossible burger at Anchor Bar? I Want to Know What Love by Foreigner is also playing at the bar while I post this, so we're having a good time. Not busy on a Monday afternoon, friendly wait staff and bartender. Food was pretty good, not the best of either that I've had but you take the vegetarian options you can get at a chicken wing place.
Great place for the original buffalo wings paired with fries and beef weck sandwich. Tried out the flying bison lager and it was really good. We were visiting from Texas so we bought souvenir tshirts. It was a great time by all and our waitress Eva was personable and attentive. Atmosphere is low key and casual so it was great for a low key kind of day. Highly recommend! ⭐️
Visiting the birthplace of the Buffalo wing was an incredible experience. The wings were cooked to perfection. I tried both the medium (the original) and the hot sauce, and the flavors were outstanding. Beyond the food, the service was exceptional, and having free on-site parking is a major bonus for a busy downtown spot. A must-stop for any wing lover.
Jayden was such a pleasure! He made us feel so welcome and not touristy at all. He was on point with the drinks ,! sooo good!!!! And the wings… it’s Buffalo, so you already know they’re 10/10. All around such a great experience, and we can’t wait to come back! Thank yall so much for the experience.
There is something familiar about the Anchor Bar. I think the reason is because both its ambience and its food have been copied over and over again in many institutions and franchises nationwide. That said, there is a certain authenticity that permeates this place. It can be seen in the faded autographed pictures and tasted in the wings. They are meaty, crispy, and so flavorful. The potato skins are also very tasty. I could see someone looking at the menu and griping at the prices, but such criticisms all but disappear after the first bite.
Since Anchor Bar is the home of the original Buffalo wings, I had to give them a try, and they did not disappoint! The wings were absolutely delicious with that perfect balance of flavor and crispiness. The service was excellent from start to finish, friendly, fast, and attentive. What I loved most is that it didn’t feel like a “tourist spot” at all; it felt authentic, welcoming, and full of local charm. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re anywhere near Buffalo, you won’t regret it!
The original wings were great tons of art and tv’s to watch Sabres or Bills games, there was a little wait because it’s very popular but great food and atmosphere!
Like a beacon of light, the sun illuminated a path to lead us to the reported birthplace of the Buffalo Wing. Local legend has it that Teressa Bellissimo was at the Anchor Bar in 1964 when her son Dominic made a desperate late night plea to feed him and his friends. With limited options to consider she improvised and chose to deep fry some chicken wings, typically meant for the stock pot for soup, and flavored them with a “secret sauce.” This improvisation was an instant hit and quickly advanced from local legend to global phenomenon. Wanting this historical narrative to be true, but armed with at least a little skepticism, I just had to discover if all of the hype was warranted. It took me all of my first bite to release any doubts that I possessed and I found myself contemplative while awaiting the multitude of flavors to arrive. These wings are immediately addictive, have an inexplicably crunchy exterior, are accompanied by an abundance of sauce to complement their juicy and tender interior, and I was shocked at how quickly that first one was followed by 21 others. 🤯 I would highly recommend that you study the sauce spectrum carefully prior to ordering and select at least two for comparison purposes. One of my selections was the “Spicy Garlic Parmesan” (which is only 1 rung above “Medium (Original)” and it featured a delayed, but joyful burn. Hesitant to express itself initially, it draws comparisons to a rocketship afterburn, so when your server provides you a glass of water it’s not just for show. Neither is the celery or that stack of napkins lying in front of you. You’re gonna get real familiar with those 3 amigos early on during your meal to help extinguish that fire in your pie hole. They’ve been at this for more than 60 years and know what they’re doing and exactly what necessary equipment you’ll need! Your wait to get a table can be long (especially if a Bills game is imminent) so plan your visit strategically. As my wing boneyard will atest, time flies here as your unbridled ravenous urges are manifested! And that’s…Henry’s Take. Photo credit 📸 @danavoros #buffalowings
Came here from Canada because my husband knows how much I love Buffalo wings, and how I'd been disappointed that there isn't a single place in our area that does a decent Buffalo sauce. Boy did this place not disappoint. We ordered the wing platter and got Buffalo and honey bourbon BBQ flavours. The wings aren't breaded, which I prefer, and they were just saucy enough to still be crispy. I loved both flavours, but the Buffalo especially. They give you plenty of blue cheese dip to go with the wings, which is also my preferred, and unlike a lot of other wing places I've been to, the blue cheese dip here actually had chunks of blue cheese in it. Honestly, I hadn't had this satisfying of a meal in AGES. I guess I'll have to find more excuses to travel down to Buffalo so I can stop in at the Anchor Bar!
We traveled to buffalo as Bills fans from South Carolina. This was on our list to try. Wings are cooked just like they do at home! It was nice to have a done-right southern staple as far north as Buffalo! We all agree these are the best wings in the North and possibly the best we've ever had! Service was great with a fun atmosphere. Art is awesome inside and outside the building. We will definitely return on our next trip to Buffalo (hopefully soon!)
This place is nostalgic. The wings were really good and the potatoes wedges. I was supposed that it wasn’t more people there. Overall, because this is said to be the first place to create buffalo wings I had to try and I’m glad I did. Definitely make the stop of for anything to have the experience.
I was really excited to come try home of the original buffalo wings and this place was cool. Inside had a lot of memorable on the walls which was cool. I order the spicy hot chicken soup and it was amazing. I wanted to take a tub of that home with me easy a must get. The wings were also good but I was a bit disappointed in their spiciest level as it wasn't as spicy as I would hope but still good flavor. The other flavors we got were good solid wings sauces. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures pictures of the food as were we starving after the bills games. It seems everyone also come here after a game so be a little patient when coming here.
Seated with a smile by Hector - Alyssa and Kaylene were amazing servers. We were in town for a Bills game and had to have the Original Chicken Wings. We had the original sauce and the spicy BBQ as well as the pizza rolls! Yummy, yummy! Don't be persuaded into trying all the rest before you have had the best!
Given this place was the origin of Buffalo Chicken Wings I had to give it a shot, given I was headed to Buffalo to watch a Bills game. This place did not disappoint the hype. From the unique, authentic design of the restaurant to the atmosphere to the service and the food, every aspect was spectacular. The wings are fresh and never frozen as well.
Let's start with the service from Ann, amazing! She was prompt to take our orders and bring out the food (which came out quickly). Then she had a great personality with a whitty charm. You just don't get that anymore so I had to make sure she was recognized!!! The wings were definitely worth the stop. They were crisp, hot, and just the right size!! Then the flavor was perfect mix of hot and flavor. We tried the sweet potato waffle fries and those even met expectations, not bad for a northern restaurant. So the family of 5 left full, happy and wanting more next time.
What a place. We were a party of 12 and they immediately found a way to accomodate us. Service is great, personnel is super friendly. The location is unusual and very interesting, with motorbikes and plates everywhere. The food was good, from pizza to pastas (w meatballs, the sauce a little bit too sweet) and, clearly, the wings! Good job guys
This place is awesome, and you can feel its history. It's super popular, so you'll definitely need to get a spot on the waitlist to get a table. While the food wasn't the absolute best for my taste I'd rate it an 8/10 the service was phenomenal, a perfect 10/10. The price was a bit high for what it was, which I'd rate an 8/10. Overall, a good experience!
Home of the Original Buffalo Wings! We stopped by for lunch here, love the ambiance and atmosphere. Ordered the wings with the original sauce, medium heat and one boneless wings. Crispy, juicy wings with just the right amount of sauce, a little more vinegary but I liked it. The Cesare salad here is one of the best I have had so far! So fresh and crunchy lettuce, generous shavings of parmesan cheese and crunchy croutons. This salad made my day.
Anchor Bar is a great spot for anyone who loves delicious, flavourful wings. We tried the Spicy Garlic Parmesan and Chipotle BBQ wings; both were good. But the Chipotle BBQ flavour was sweat for me. I personally like the Garlic Parmesan flavour but I couldn't try it as it was spicy. I wish they offered a mild Garlic Parmesan option for those who prefer less heat. We went for the double traditional wings (20 wings), which was more than enough for two people; it was plenty and we even had leftovers. The atmosphere was fun, with lots of enthusiastic photos and quirky décor, which made the place feel lively. The servers were friendly, attentive, and respectful. this place is a solid choice for wing lovers, especially if you’re looking for generous portions and a fun, welcoming vibe.
The vibes in this restaurant are amazing. The buffalo wings are definitely a must have. They are a so good. You will wish you can eat more. The pizza is fantastic too. The cup and char of the pepperoni gives it a nice crunch. Worth doing the pizza and wings combo. No credit card surcharge. Clean interior. Clean washrooms. Bar seating available with many TVs for your enjoyment. No Free WiFi. There can be a wait especially on weekends. Prices can be high for certain items. Bring a patch from your emergency service and put them up on the walls. Bring your license plate it. They'll try and make room for it somewhere. Go Bills. Go Sabers. USA Baby!
We wanted to hit up the Anchor Bar to say we went there at least once. Try their wings. And just visit the location. The atmosphere does not disappoint. The service does not disappoint. The beer selection did not disappoint. The wings disappoint. They had great flavor but came out cool on temperature. Although still crispy some of them you'd bite into were cool to the touch as if they didn't get reheated. Was not my favorite wing of them all, but what they lacked for in the food, I will say our server made up for in great service and taking care of us. That along would allow me to give it another try. So althy a three star I would be willing to amend this and try it again the next I am in town.
We can say we had the original. That's about it though. The wings came out cold. We wanted to try the original and another flavor. We chose Spicy Garlic Parm. They were just buffalo wings with a seasoning spread on top. Not tossed at all. The fried pickles were excellent though. Service was not stellar either. It might be because I was wearing my NE Patriots sweatshirt!
Honestly, I was disappointed with the wings here considering its supposed to be the birthplace of OG buffalo wings. The wings overall were very ok. The sauce was watery and bland, and though the wings themselves had a good size, it just felt like they weren't made with alot of love. Ironically I enjoyed the spicy margarita I order way more than the wings, which was the point of my stop here. It feels more like a tourist trap.
Atmosphere was killer, full of history here. Wings were among the worst we had in buffalo, dry. Our order of cheese sticks was delivered still frozen in the middle, our other appetizer ordered was delivered in the form of something we didnt order. Worth a stop cause of who they are but don't fill up here, save your appetite for bar bill or 911 tavern.

Ah, the Anchor Bar. In Buffalo, saying those two words is like invoking a culinary deity.
