I know this is the original. And my Italian heritage won' t let me say anything negative about the birthplace of the best culinary contribution from upstate NY but... The wings are crisp and excellent but ridiculously small. I actually was able to try Duff's out the same night because they were so small. You have to make the trip to pay homage to the birthplace of wingdom. Pros: Great flavor, nostalgic Cons: sparrow-like wings

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. Pros: chicken wings have lots of flavor; good service too Cons: parking can be an issue because it's all busy here!

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!

There's about 16 places with better buffalo wings than this old shrine to fried food. Go to La Nova or Duff's or your corner pizza place and you'll be far happier. Don't waste your time. Location isn't worth the time it takes to get there. Pros: they're still standing Cons: food is wildly over-rated

I heard about this restaurant on Food Network. They said they had the best wings. We went to Niagra Falls and went across the border to Buffalo. They were right! Large wings, cooked crispy and drenched in the best sauce. The service was top notch and the entertainment that night was a blues band that kept the crowd interested. You must stop in when your in town.

We visited this place, obviously due to the fame behind it, while in town for a Bills game a few years ago. We sat at the bar, had a few beers and some wings. I thought they were great and had no problems with the staff as other have suggested. Maybe we lucked out, who knows. We'll find out though as we are heading there again this football season. Pros: Food, tourist value Cons: not in the best looking part of town

walking into this place may be neat because it IS the birthplace of Buffalo Wings BUT you will be better off turning around and go to ANY of the HUNDREDS of other restaurants in Buffalo that serve wings. Walking in at dinner time will be crowed as expected ( I'm suspecting mostly tourists), but that doesn't justify the long waits and the rude wait staff. I have been there numerous time only because any friends that come in to town want to see the historic place. Every time I have been there I was waited on by someone who seems to feel that they have the right to be inattentive and rude because the are an anchor bar waitress and they are special because of this. When you order wings, expect to wait about 45 minutes to an hour for them to arrive (as you sit there thirsty because of the previously mentioned staff). Close to the end of our dinner a small band got up on stage and started playing which was ok, UNTIL i received the bill and there was an extra charge because we were there when the band was playing. Living in Buffalo my whole life, I've eaten a LOT of wings. I'll try wings everywhere I go and I will say that I have had better. I have had the suicidal wings here and they have an overpowering taste of black pepper. The mixture of hot flavors doesn't really blend that well because of this. If you need to see the history behind the chicken wing, stop in, take a picture, buy a t-shirt and go to Duffs on Sheridan. If you do decide to stay, don't expect the wings to be phenominal, service to be quick or the staff to be friendly. Pros: you can say that you were there Cons: the rest of it
