Everytime I visit Buffalo I make sure I make a stop here. Never disappoints! Lindsey was mazing and very attentive !!! Wings are always delicious.
This is a classic place that everyone has heard of -- the birthplace of the buffalo wing. I always fear that such places will be a disappointment. This one, happily, was not! This has all the feel of a local wing place. Aside from the gift shop, it feels like a local hole-in-the-wall, but in a good way. There is all kinds of atmosphere and I love the vibe. The chicken wings are all they are cracked up to be. Juicy with just enough crunch and nice flavor. I liked them so much, I went back for more the next day. The potato wedge fries are also excellent. If in Buffalo -- do not miss the Anchor Bar.
Flew into Buffalo with a couple of buddies to watch a hockey game and was recommended to try this place. It's the birthplace of "Buffalo wings" and has been around for almost 100 years, so they must be doing something right. Came around 6pm on a Wednesday night and was greeted and seated promptly. Server was friendly and the food and drinks came out pretty quickly. We all got the wings and weck combo which comes with 5 wings with your choice of sauce, beef on weck sandwich, and a bunch of fries. I got the original Wings which were really good and had a little kick and nice flavor and they fried it a little bit crispier than other places, which gave it a different texture. The sandwich was good, but is pretty salty so I had to scrape off a lot of the salt and caraway seeds from the top bun. If you do that and add some horseradish to it, it was a really good sandwich. Fries were nice and crispy, too. Huge menu with so many different things on it. If you lived in the area, I'm sure it's a cool spot to come and hang out at and eat something different all of the time. Highly recommended if you're in the area and want a good meal.
Great food, wings and not far from the falls. The staff was kind. We tried the famous wings and were good. We took an order to go since we were in a rush. Reason for 4 Star is when we sat down our table seats were dirty and table was sticky. This is an easy fix and we could have been seated between people. They have shirts and hoodies for sale at this location that are cute.
Great wings. Cool environment and ambience. Parking lot for customers. Good local beer selections. Definitely a place to visit when in town Sam was our waitress and did a really good job.
