I'm a wing snob & let me tell ya these were everything I want in a wing . Crispy , tender, juicy, saucy but without drowning. Conveniently located next to the University train station . Do it!

Krissy L.

Great food! but if you go on a Friday or Saturday night there's live music but it is insanely loud - ask for a table away from the music if you actually want to be able to hear the person next to you.

Tyr Legend

Good! Definitely one of the better wings I've had, and I try the wings everywhere. Hot = really good, BBQ = awesome with a nice hint of spice. Suicide has a little kick to it, but not much flavor

Stephen Chui

Suicidal Buffalo Wings is amazing and the spicyness is only for the well trained OK. Have a beer too! A tick for my bucket list all the way from Sydney Australia!

James Kiernan

Lived up to high expectations. Due to COVID-19, a number of items weren’t available but wings and beef on weck were on point and the staff was so friendly and accommodating.

Maximum Burger

Grittier than expected inside, but the 10pc traditional wings (medium) delivered. Rest of menu is like fried roadhouse food. Fast service , friendly and VERY affordable

Joe Sesso

If you love wings , you must try Anchor Bar's at least once in your life. This is where the Buffalo Chicken Wing was invented back in 1964.

Oleg Kupershmidt

The wings are absolutely the best, they are crunchy and juicy, not too fatty and you can order them as spicy as you like.

Alan Cheney

We were a little intimidated by the crowd waiting to be seated, but our wait for five was short . Service was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our beers and wings and very glad we made the pilgrimage!

Steve Poland

Interestingly enough, this place is an Italian restaurant but the wings are what they are famous for. But the homemade Italian meatballs and sauce are delicious- $11 for spaghetti , meatballs & salad !

Jesus Nunez

The wings with the Original Sauce are Awesome!!! Great place and a must in Buffalo!

Shan OConnor

The medium wings were excellent! Sauce was fried into the chicken and wasn't dripping with wet. Amazing! Glad I stopped by!

Margot G

Home of the Buffalo wing ! The service at the bar is amazing here. I got chicken tenders and it was a huge and delicious portion. This place is worth the hype.

Halil Kaşkavalcı

Infamous chicken wings . Make sure you stop by here when you visit Niagara Falls.

Debbie D

Love all the stuff on the walls and ceiling in the lobby. Wings were quite good and you gotta go to the original wing place when in town !

Karina Enciso

The origin of buffalo wings ! The place is amazing and the staff is great!

Amelia

You're eyes will be bigger than your stomach. Lots of delicious options to choose from! The onion rings were my fave.

Nattawut N

Awesome place with good service and good price, don't miss this place when you visit Buffalo

Lucie Kleckova

This is the place where famous Buffalo wings were created. Huge portion sizes and their wings are really the best.

Jamie Rytlewski

Excellent Buffalo Wings , probably the best I've ever ate. Waitstaff was very friendly .

Dick Traveling

If you're with a group (or very hungry) order the 50 piece wings and split two sauces. I like the hot.

Christopher Airey

Ignore those who say the original is a sell-out and a tourist trap. These are the best I have ever had. Their pizza was surprisingly great too.

Bryson Hall

Service was incredible. We were in and out in 20 minutes. Not to mention the WINGS! BBQ wings were way above expectations!

Scott P

So-so wings . Good place to visit to clear the bucket list. If you're from out of town , it's likely your favorite, local shop has better wings . Check out the cool license plates on the walls.

Occupy My Family Atlanta

This spot is a must-stop for any chicken wing fan! Go for a late lunch during the week to avoid the crowds.

HLDG

Be aware that the portion sizes are insane! My pasta dinner could have fed three hungry adults, easy. Prepare for leftovers!

The Weegman Vasquez

Fast efficient service , make sure you get the hot wings as the mediums are more like mild, hot is perfect!!!

Mara Bissell

Anchor has a whole list of Itallian bitters ! Fernet Branca , Amaro , Cynar, Averna... Wonderful to have so many options for a little digestif after dinner !

Shanmuga Prabhu

The oldest and best place in Buffalo for authentic Buffalo Wings . Ranch and BBQ were too good.

Scott P

Visit once to get it off your bucket list. If you choose to come back a second time, order your wings well done so they're nice and crispy .

Dan Kubiske

Suicidal wings are spicy and the kick builds as you eat, but I am still standing. If you like spicy wings , get these. A cold Genessee Cream Ale is a great partner.

Sid

Regardless of whether the wings are the best in town or not, the ambience is definitely worth experiencing !

Gayoung Kim

Those crispy chicken wings were awesome and Wana eat everyday. I recommend Cajun rub.

Christina Rovet

Buffalo wings are what we came for and they didn't disappoint! The white pizza was surprisingly good, the dough is excellent!

Gabi Bulumac

America's most famous and beloved culinar dishes has been born in The Anchor Bar in 1964 by Teressa Bellissimo - BUFFALO WINGS ????

Joseph Bruzgul

Anchor bar is the original but I would first try to find Bar Bill in East Aurora elmos in Williamsville or Duffy if your looking for a good wing !

Juls

Not the most awesome wings in the planet, but definitely an experience. Try a kids' plate if you're not particularly starving just so you can say you did it.

Ben Bauer

Truth is ... wings were first introduced by a German beer garden less that a mile away in west Buffalo ... says the buffalo historical society

Halil Kaşkavalcı

Famous chicken wings . Make sure you stop by here when you visit Niagara Falls.

Gayoung Kim

American style burger with huge thick beef patty on it

Ronnie Roth

Great wings ! Would definitely like to come back!

Dane Kantner

birthplace of wings , unfortunately for them they're easily reproducible because there are tons of places to go in buffalo to get wings equally as good without the hassle that goes along w/ anchor bar.

Mel Rupp

The original Anchor Bar! Chicken wings ! Enough said!

Julie Jackson

The white pizza was one of the best I've ever had.

Ron E

What's good? Wings of course!! Seen lots of people having pizza too.

Sarah Carknard

The Fettuccine Alfredo with seafood was delicious and filling! Per my boyfriend, however, the wings weren't all they're cracked up to be, not very fresh

Andrew Alvarez

Might have to give it another go, but wasn't very impressed. The flavor was of course good, classic wing flavor , but many of the wings were sparsely covered and some were downright cold (temperature).

Antonello Loddo

You probably have read about this in every guide of Buffalo. But still, it's worth a visit

amy coleman

for big parties, they will take reservations one day in advance. otherwise your entire party must be present in order for them to lift a finger putting together tables.

Claus Cibils

I just had a flash of 1 of these tv shows on restaurants going wrong! Us waiting, and the waitress discussing with boyfriend
