Decided to try this place after driving by and ordered through DoorDash. I got the fish & chips and was genuinely impressed! The portion size was great, everything was still hot when it arrived, and the fish was delicious and crispy. Definitely one of the better fish & chips orders I've had delivered. I can't speak on the dine-in experience since I ordered delivery, but based on the food alone, I'll absolutely order from them again. 10/10 recommend giving them a try! My only small critiques would be to seal the delivery bags for added security and include a little more tartar sauce. Otherwise, everything was excellent. read more

Anchor Bar - Frisco - Fish & Chips (3) with Tartar Sauce - Sports Bars Near Me - Frisco, Texas

As someone who lives in Frisco Square, I've been a frequent customer of Anchor Bar. Unfortunately, what I've seen during the World Cup has completely changed my opinion. The restaurant appears to be taking advantage of the influx of visitors by dramatically increasing prices while eliminating the specials that many regular customers relied on. Ten wings for $20 is hard to justify, especially when Happy Hour and Wing Wednesday have disappeared entirely. What bothers me most is that the higher prices aren't being matched by a better experience. In fact, the service has been worse than ever. Long waits, inattentive staff, and an overall lack of customer care have become the norm. I understand businesses want to capitalize on major events, but there's a difference between benefiting from increased traffic and squeezing every dollar possible out of customers. The World Cup watch parties is already bringing additional business through the door. Removing customer-friendly specials and charging premium prices on top of that sends a clear message. read more

Haven't had service this disappointing in a while. Came in on a Wednesday for dinner and there were maybe 5 other tables seated when we got there. Started by ordering two drinks and appetizers. The appetizers came out fairly fast - they were so-so. We waited about 10minutes for our drinks, which honestly should have come out first before the appetizers. In fact, the whole time my husband saw our drinks sitting at the bar wondering if they were ours. We asked a waitress (ours was nowhere to be found) and turns out they were! I will also note that we weren't offered any water and had to request it. After hailing down our waitress, we ordered our wings and the roast beef sandwich, which came out fast as well. Also just so-so. Not good enough to make me want to go back again. There were a lot of people on staff and many were standing around chatting around the bar. Nothing seemed to run smoothly. We asked for extra sauce and got an affirming "You got it!" but it never came. Our waitress barely checked in to see if we needed anything (which we often did) and the one time she did it looked like she was anticipating us not needing anything and was about to walk off before we could answer. read more

My daughter had visited the restaurant when they had initially opened and her experience was poor. Food quality, service, prices all questionable. Having spent 10 years in Western New York and dining at the original spot in Buffalo, I chalked it up to just opening and thought I would give them a shot one day. That shot was today. I won't be back. Ordered 20 wings. Delivery time to the table was easily 30 minutes, but with the Buffalo Bills game on and a good number of Bills fans there, it was forgiveable. The wings? Cold. Like having set out for an hour cold. Advised our server and they took them back to the kitchen. They returned in a few minutes with only a slightly improved temperature. No where near hot, like you would expect from an item that has been deep fried. During our visit, THREE other tables adjacent to us also returned items for being cold. And not a single member of management came out to offer so much as an apology. Extremely disappointing and embarrassing to the original. read more

The house drinks are watered down and the food we ordered was not good. I ordered the veggie pizza. It was missing ingredients. It only came with cheese, green peppers and jalapeños that were extra cost. My husband ordered the tater tots and it had so much sauce, he did not even pack it to go. I ordered an old fashion and Manhattan. Worst tasting, watered down drinks I ever had. However, the waitress was great. read more

Anchor Bar - Frisco - Great place to watch a game. - Sports Bars Near Me - Frisco, Texas

I finally tried this restaurant tonight. The restaurant was nearly empty when I arrived and I was seated across from the bar. I was eventually greeted by Usman. I ordered ten original wings and a soft drink while I watched golf on one of the TVs over the bar. A different server eventually brought my wings. I finished my drink and looked around for my server but he was nowhere to be found. I eventually went to the bar for a refill and then another employee switched the television to the NFL game and turned off the music so we could all listen to the commercials. I requested my check in writing so that I could submit it for reimbursement and Usman walked away with it. I won't be going back. read more

The wings were really good crispy and juicy! Only thing it lacked was I could use a little more sauce on them. The candy apple martini was pretty tasty! The bartenders are good! The place is really nice! Went back for part two this time I asked for my wings wet so they came out good and I got some pizza logs and loved them. read more

Great spot for wings and a casual meal. The wings were cooked really well - nice and crispy, served hot, and came out fast. The regular hot sauce wasn't overpowering, just a solid heat with good flavor. I really enjoyed the spicy ranch dry rub too. The tots were crispy and hot, just how they should be. Service was friendly, the beer was cold, and the prices felt fair. Honestly, there wasn't anything to dislike except the sewer gas smell in the men's room. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area again. read more

Great wing spot in Frisco! Right across the FC Dallas stadium and plenty of parking. We've been to this restaurant twice and service was great each time. Andrew was our waiter tonight and was very attentive and kind. Our food took a bit to come out but the small wait was worth it! We sat on the patio and really enjoyed the environment as we watched the game on the tv. Highly recommend if you are looking for good wings in north Dallas. read more

Anchor Bar - Frisco - Traditional Wing Combo - Sports Bars Near Me - Frisco, Texas

The problem with Anchor Bar, like many places, is their staff both front and back of the house. They could care less about the legacy, the recipes or whether you have a decent experience or not. Went to Anchor on Friday, excited to see what the hype was about. I specifically said, I want to have the original wing that put you on the map and do it the way they do it in Buffalo. 1/2 the wings were barely sauced the others were bone dry. Saucing wings is not rocket science. Do your f'ing job. Decided to give another chance the next day, (yesterday) because I wanted to try the roast beef on weck. Again, it took 45 minutes for a cold sandwich, inedible tots, no refills, and zero service from bartender. I worked my way through college in the service industry tending bar and waiting tables. I believe strongly in tip culture, but from now on, no service = no tip. I have the money to eat out and tip well and only expect the same service that you are were trained and expected to give. I dont need anything other than for you to do your job. If you can't do that, no tip and I will spend my $$ elsewhere read more

Have been here twice and the wings were delicious! The sauces are tasty, as are the drinks. I really enjoyed how crisp and perfectly cooked the wings came out. The wings weren't greasy or inconsistent. Being able to order all flats made me extra happy. Even the hottest sauce was easily edible though I have insane spice tolerance. I also got habanero ranch dry rub, which was good! Where else can you get a frozen pina colada with your wings? The Moscow mules were also excellent. When we went, tables and bars were clean, which is much better than some other local wing places read more

If I was just rating the wings I'd give it a 5. However the service is just awful. I was hoping it would get better over time as they figure it out but it just got worse. I don't know if they're understaffed or just got too big of a space. There's too many issues to count. One time they wouldn't let us get 15 wings even though it says you can add 5 to any order -had to get a manager. Made a mistake of taking family from out of town and it took like three hours to eat. Did take out the other night and got bourbon bbq and asked for extra sauce on the side and I think we got habanero mango. We tried in person again a week ago and sat at a table for over five minutes with no waiter. We moved to the bar just to get service. read more

"Subpar" would be too generous. Several in our party, including me, sent drinks back because they tasted awful. I think the only drink everyone "enjoyed" was the water....To cut down on checks I paid for three drinks and tip came to $52, which made the experience even more disappointing. The food was nothing special, either. The photos on their website don't look appealing, and the food was no better in person. The restaurant wasn't crowded, yet the food and drinks still missed the mark. I wouldn't return or suggest. read more

We had a short wait for a table and our server- no name on the receipt, but sweet blonde young lady next to the bar. She was super nice and knowledgable. This was our first visit so I ordered a 10pc original - med wings. My husband ordered the wing combo with garlic parm and fries. We loved my wings w ranch, but my husband didn't like the flavor of his wings, fries or blue cheese. Bummer, because we wanted to love it. We will be back, because we were able to watch part of the Mavs game. I like the seating and lots of televisions to view other sports. One other negative, the manager walked by us twice, made eye contact, but looked away without saying a word. I hate that. My husband would have loved to chat with him. We later found out his name is Mike. read more

The establishment is nice and looks new. Our waiter was nice but the drinks were not good at all. the wings were not good. We ordered the 10 piece and fries and it took forever.

Anchor Bar - Frisco - Sports Bars Near Me - Frisco, Texas

I went on a weekday, so it was pretty slow but seemed fully staffed. Even with that, we sat for over 10 minutes before I finally asked the bartender if we had a waitress. About five minutes later, we got our drinks, which were fine. It's hard to mess up a beer on tap. The food came out quickly, but it was nothing to write home about. We ordered wings, and while they weren't terrible, Wingstop would definitely have been a better option. Now the service. There were maybe three or four tables seated and a few guys at the bar, which is where the waitresses spent most of their time. Our actual waitress barely checked on us; we had to literally flag her down each time. We ended up asking another waitress if she could grab her and let her know we were ready for the check. I mean, she was nice, so there's that I guess. Overall, the food was average, and the service was very disappointing. Our waitress seemed more focused on chatting at the bar than taking care of her table. I gave two stars for the two beers that were on point but definitely will not be going back. read more

Great food, service, and atmosphere. If you like sports, they have it all, every game! So happy they opened their doors here in Frisco!

The pizza we got was not cooked enough. The wings are ok. Not crispy as we would like.

First of all the service was very good. With that being said, if you like Sysco food you will like it here. Tried the wings and they were meh. We had the house specialty wings as well as the garlic and neither were very good. And they were served with Sysco blue cheese dressing and ranch. No house made dressing here. Tried the Caesar salad and it was drown in Sysco Caesar dressing. The fried chicken on top was the only redeeming part. The table next to us had the pepperoni pizza and gave us a slice. Dominos is better and I don't eat dominos. The drinks were watered down. We live in the neighborhood so we were hoping that we found a new spot to frequent but I'm sad to say we won't be going back. read more

Didn't eat, just drank but they were sooo behind on everyone's orders... also the lighting is like sitting under a beaming bright flashlight. I dont know, this place has so much potential but 1st experience wasn't the best. read more

Was really excited to see Anchor bar downtown but unfortunately our experience on a Saturday evening was very average. We were seated right away but the food legit took around 35-40mins to come out. Our order was fairly simple too a kids pasta, 10 original wings and a char pepperoni pizza. Once the food finally showed up everything was just OK. The wings were crispy but the original sauce was once again average. The pizza was below average. The pepperoni cups had no flavor on them whatsoever which was very bizarre. Our waiter was friendly but they are clearly understaffed. Just go to Jake's next door instead! I wish we did. read more

You can find good quality chicken wings almost anywhere. All a restaurant really needs is two things: 1. Fat, lazy chickens and 2. Reasonable sauces. On the other hand, a roast beef sandwich on a fresh Kimilwick roll is a thing of beauty and difficult to find. I give this establishment five stars for the outstanding service provided by Autumn, who has a high tolerance for "dad jokes", and for serving an authentic roast beef on Kimilwick roll sandwich. It doesn't hurt that they also sell Labatts Blue beer, even if it is at five dollars a bottle. read more

Being from western NY, I've been to the original Anchor Bar and Duff's many times. I have to say I was a bit apprehensive to try this franchised Anchor Bar. To my utter shock, this place is the real deal!! The Buffalo Wings and Beef on Wick are soooo tasty and just as good (if not better) than the original location in Buffalo, NY. Pricing and service are phenomenal. I think it's actually cheaper than the original Buffalo, NY location (just going off memory - I didn't confirm). Check this place out! read more

Great Wings, crispy and large with lots of meat. Good sauce varieties and the prices are decent. Best wings in Frisco in my opinion.

Avoid this place. Menu prices have doubled. Another place trying to take advantage of customers. Place is completely empty. So sad. Shame on you Anchor Bar. read more

So disappointing & expensive! This was the second time we ate at the location (we've only ever ate these in Buffalo). The first time we ordered a lunch combo-5 wings & fries. It was a little pricey but tasty and we didn't feel ripped off. This time, no lunch specials. We paid $20 for 10 wings and 3 stalks of white celery. What a rip. The flavor is good but not worth the price. After drink and tip the bill was $31 for 1 drink and 10 wings. Service was not good, no refills, no checking to see how the food was. It was lunch time and maybe 4 tables occupied which is not a good sign. Unfortunately if they can't make some adjustments, I'm not sure they'll survive. read more

Born in Buffalo New York and been to the original anchor bar, this place is just as amazing!! Wings are so delicious and crispy. Our server Morgan was so friendly and made sure we were taken care of. read more

Went here today with my husband and son. We were excited to try the Anchor Bar. It was a great atmosphere inside. The service was great. We ordered their beef on weck sandwich, burger, fries and regular wings. Overall, the food was a complete let down. The wings were probably the worst we have had in Frisco, the fries were delivered lukewarm. The wings were also delivered lukewarm. The beef sandwich was actually really good. For it being a place known for their wings they did not deliver. My son did not like the burger. Clearly there was an issue with the kitchen today. There is so much competition with food in the area, you cannot have bad days, you will lose customers. I want this place to be a success, it is a great location. I hope they can improve. We will give them another chance but it will be awhile before we go back. read more

The wings were cooked properly but the heat levels seem off. There's nothing truly hot on the menu as I ordered the top four heat flavors. the pizza was surprisingly good. The Anchor Bar dip was surprisingly small and extremely oily. Unfortunately, the experience takes a bigger hit with the dips. Using private-label Hidden Valley ranch is a real disappointment for a wing spot, and the blue cheese is just average. For a wing house, sauces and dips matter, and these two are make-or-break for me when deciding whether to return. read more

Coming from a buffalo wing enjoyer and girlfriend that is from Buffalo, NY and had dined at the original establishment. This falls far from what we expected. We were sat by a very hesitant hostess to a dirty table, without silverware and menus. We were greeted and served drinks in a normal time. After ordering it took us about 40 minutes to receive our food. The server came by one time to ask if we were doing okay towards the beginning but never came back to give an update or apology for the wait. When we received our food, the wings were lukewarm at best sadly. The server did remedy the problem and got a new set of wings. The rest of the food was hot and good (beef on weck, and fries) read more

So, coming from Buffalo and now living here I can tell you that it's very inconsistent. A few weeks ago, it was ok but not hot temperature wise. Tonight, everything was salty and burnt. And I like salt, but it was ridiculously salty. The beef on weck beef bun was burnt and the roast beef tasted like it was dipped in table salt. Need to have a quality tester before it goes out. read more

I'll go back one more time and see what's changed. There were four of us. Here's the deal. First thing - drinks are ridiculously weak. Wife and I were starving, i.e. empty stomachs. I had a marg, she had a bloody. While it's not uncommon for me to feel this way, she commented to me that wow, there was nothing in that drink at all. A $14 bloody like that? Come on. My margarita mind as well have been a soft drink. Do NOT order the buffalo chicken sandwich. I don't know where they come up with the idea they have some stellar buffalo chicken sandwich but you could get as good or better from any fast food restaurant. Absolutely bland, there's not buffalo sauce, LOL, had to ask for some. The burgers are just not good. Tasted the meat myself, come on, what is this? Low grade commercial nonsense. In terms of taste, might work for a kiddie burger but don't try to pretend it's a good burger. Sheesh. The roast beef sandwich is good. Had that, no complaints. Had some wings, too. Don't get it - their original wing sauce (supposed to be medium spice) had very little taste. I'll go back and try wings again into the hot range but wow, I'm surprised they even pawned this off as buffalo sauce. The wait people ought to instruct that this is not buffalo sauce as you know it. It's just a very mild tasting (not just spice, in every way) sauce for the wings. The wing itself was decent quality, though. Next time, will ask to try a few of their sauces first. Finally, our waiter was doing the best he could. While he is busting his behind, two managers are standing around and other wait staff were not busy. This is a management issue. Wow, help the guy out so the customer's experience is decent. They need to either retrain or fire the managers. If a manager can't actually help out, or direct somebody to help out, or even recognize there's a problem, they need to be replaced. What this place needs to realize is the history of restaurants in Frisco. They need to fire on all cylinders and will make a mint. If they can only do half the things right (you're lacking on food or service or drinks), you're not going to last long. We flock to restaurants at the beginning and if the restaurant can't get up to snuff, it just vanishes. 100 more of them in a 2 mile radius. Better step up your game, folks. read more

This place just opened a few days ago but you really can't tell! The service was great and the inside is gorgeous. Lots of space here!! The menu has pizza and wings with some salads too! We went for lunch and loved that pricing. They showed me a kids menu for when we bring back our kiddos with options I'm sure mine will love. The chicken quality is top notch... and they are known for their fresh never frozen buffalo wings. We will be back to try more flavors. read more

Anchor Bar - Frisco - New place to try before FC Dallas games - Sports Bars Near Me - Frisco, Texas

Buffalo,Ny born and raised approval. I've been really excited about the opening in Frisco and had high expectations. Food:Understanding this was day 4 since they've open and kitchen is still getting their sea legs. Wings were outstanding in size, Buffalo esque and had some good flavor( could be thicker on the tossed sauce), pizza logs were A+++( dare say the best I've had) , Beef on Weck was Grand Slam and I wouldn't change a thing Restaurant: Beautiful layout, plenty of space and table and even have a nice lounge and bar while you're waiting for your tables. There are ridiculously appropriate amount of TVs and is a sports fans dream. Our server Andrew was the tip of the sword! Young kid but able to talk, joke with his table while working efficiently and being knowledgeable with the menu, even with them just opening! Will be requesting him by name in the future. Don't let him go! Keep it up!! read more

Stopped into the new Anchor Bar in Frisco, and let me tell you -- the Beef on Weck is the reason to go. Tender, flavorful, and exactly the kind of sandwich you want from a place with Buffalo roots. It's worth the visit all on its own. The restaurant is still very new, and like any fresh opening, it could use a little TLC and fine‑tuning. Nothing worth calling out negatively -- just the usual growing pains you expect early on. I'm planning to head back in a couple of months to see how things have smoothed out, and I'm optimistic they'll settle into their stride. If you're curious about the Beef on Weck, go give it a try. That sandwich alone makes the trip worthwhile. read more

Great location, prices and service! Nyjaea was so helpful and gave a great recommendation for wing flavors - go with half garlic parm and half lemon pepper for a mild savory situation. Will return soon! read more

Let me preface this by saying I visited Anchor Bar only a few days after they opened and I totally understand that they might still be figuring something things out. Stopped in for lunch on a Friday afternoon and there were a good amount of people. Was quite disappointed when the Anchor Bar Dip came very clearly broken. It was extremely oily and borderline inedible. The chips were also coated in oil. I ordered the "hotter" wings and was also quite disappointed in the heat level with these being their second hottest flavor. I've visited a few other Anchor Bar locations and always had a positive experience so I was quite disappointed with how this went. I will give this place the benefit of the doubt and certainly return once they figure things out. read more

Anchor Bar - Frisco - Sports Bars Near Me - Frisco, Texas

The Anchor Bar appears to be poorly managed, and I wouldn't recommend visiting until that changes. We visited The Anchor Bar for the first time on a Wednesday evening, excited to finally try their "world famous" wings. We arrived at 7:47 PM and were quoted a 40-minute wait using their text-based waitlist system. I'll note that the hostesses were very friendly, and while waiting we grabbed drinks at the bar -- the bartenders were great and the drinks were excellent. Our table was ready in about 30 minutes, which was faster than expected. However, it was confusing because roughly half the tables were empty and clean, and there were 5-7 servers standing around, so this didn't appear to be a staffing issue. Once seated, the frustration began. We waited over 10 minutes without being greeted. My wife went to the hostess stand to ask if we had a server. The hostesses apologized, and a manager who was nearby said he would find our waitress. Another 10 minutes passed with no one coming to our table. I then spoke to another manager and explained that we had been waiting 20 minutes without service. He also apologized and said someone would be right over. After another 5 minutes with still no server, we decided to leave. The entire experience was unacceptable. With multiple managers present and several servers seemingly available, it was disappointing that no one could even take a drink order. This restaurant won't be successful until the management team gets their act together. It's very unfortunate -- I still would like to try their wings someday, but not after this experience. read more

Service wasn't great. Food was just okay. If you have a restaurant in Texas you better have good ranch. That bottled stuff won't cut it. Cool sports bar vibe so the kids liked it and the noise level was ideal for our group of 3 adults and 3 kids. read more
