The Scene
No trip to Buffalo is complete without visiting the birthplace of the city's signature food. The hospitable staff cruises through the informal setting, where photos of famous customers, articles and awards cover the walls. Need another excuse to come? Customers are treated to some of the city's best jazz on the weekends.
The Food
The city is known for its hot wings and this place is why. Buffalo wings are prepared perfectly--deep-fried until golden, tossed with the infamous sauce and smothered in blue cheese with a side of celery. Spice levels range from mild to the aptly named "suicidal" wings. If you're not in the mood for wings, there are plenty of Italian specialties like veal cacciatore and eggplant Parmesan. Homemade pastas, salads and sandwiches extend the options.

My family loves to eat at the Anchor Bar, which consistently provides great service, especially for children. The wings are awesome--I always bring out-of-town friends here and they are always impressed! It's always busy when we eat here, whether for lunch or dinner. I find the servers to be very attentive and the wings (I like my crispy, extra hot), are very good.

First off, as a local resident, If you want chicken wings, go to DUFFS!!! Secondly, they are frauds. They stole the idea from a small African-American restaurant on Jefferson Avenue which received none of the credit or the glory. Last but not least, during a surprise snow storm back on November 20, 2000, this place tossed everybody out so they could close for the night. Businesses all over the city were taking in stranded motorists and pedestrians and putting them up for the night. The Anchor Bar couldn't be bothered!
