Please, do NOT waste your time and hard earned money on this place! Waited for over an hour for very mediocre at best food!

So our family came here from Atlanta and wanted to try something "authentic " I had to apologize to the family afterwards. Service wasn't bad but it was awkwardly unwelcoming. Maybe it's just the New York thing? Food: we ordered sampler platter, 50 wings, lasagna, caesar salad, soup, and kids spaghetti. Sampler platter: they should change the name from sampler platter to just the sampler: for $12 bucks you get 3 cheese sticks, couple crumbs of onion rings, and few pieces of mac and cheese fries. Wings: it was ok. I've learned these old traditional restaurants aren't very good. They forget to evolve with the times sticking too much to tradition. Oh and there suicide sauce... yea it's very mild to say the least. Lasagna: to me the best thing in the restaurant. Everyone loved it. Soup and salad: forgettable. Kids spaghetti: spit in the face. Imagine a small side of noodles and tomato sauce for $7. Its almost like they said screw you, eat what I give you. Eat the lasagna, forget the rest. And ignore the attitude if you can. Especially if your from the hospitable south. read more

Only thing good in this place was the wings. The rest of the food was horrible. The waitress looked like she had half a load on screwed up our order. Several times hardly came to check on us. Service was super slow and there was hardly anybody in the place. Do not recommend stay away. read more

After a long time of waiting, the manager is going to comp. The service is OK, but the wait times for anything here is ridiculous. I can not in good conscience recommend this place for anything read more

There's not much to choose from in Niagara Falls, but that doesnt help this place. The menu is basically chicken wings - they claim to be the original Buffalo chicken wing - but they were pretty average flavor. I ordered 10 wings and only got one drumstick! I wont be back. read more

AVOID! Worst dining experience ever! We waited forever to get our meals. Guess we were waiting for the fish and shrimp to grow. Food is mediocre and the service is... wait, they have any service? The manager of this restaurant really needs to teach the waitresses here that people sometimes need forks and knives to eat! Isn't it a surprise? read more

This did not meet any expectation. The food was sub-par and the service even worse. We waited for over an hour for 20 wings, 2 sandwiches and a salad. For a first visit to a NY staple, we are so disappointed. read more

Huge wing loving family of four here that went on a vacation to Niagara Falls. Stayed at the hotel the Anchor Bar is in. This place is so bad. We were in this restaurant for 3.5 hours, mostly waiting, and waiting. The staff was friendly and apologized left and right about the wait. "It's not that we are so busy, rather the kitchen is so small" Well, poor planning of a food establishment like that is a clear sign to stay away from here. When our wings arrived, they were barely warm and the taste was bland. Home of the Buffalo wing? You can never go home again apparently. When I checked out the next day and was asked how was your stay, I mentioned that I was very disappointed with the Anchor bar. The lady checking me out said "Sorry, the breakfast buffet is having a lot of problems" Breakfast too?!? Yikes! STAY AWAY!!!! read more

We were in Niagara falls with the kids, Canada side and were craving wings. Anchor did not disappoint!! Tia, our waitress was amazing, so helpful, nice and so friendly. She answered all our questions about the different wing flavors and gave us some recommendations that were perfect for our family. Wings were A+!! Ordered 50 wings, Chipotle BBQ, Jalapeno, and Medium wings. All the flavors were delicious! Also had fries and onion rings. Food came quickly and nothing was left! The five of us polished off every morsel. The whole experience at this Anchor Bar was top notch and we will definitely visit again the next time we are in Niagara. read more

This location is nothing like the others. The service is lacking and basically non existent. They never checked on is after they brought the food until they delivered the check. They said the wings were spicy garlic Parmesan and they were just hot wings no garlic and no cheese whatsoever. They weren't even busy and had to wait for 30 minutes to even get our food. For the price and the taste of the food never would I come back. Ill drive to get wings at another location before I come ever back here. read more

Food was delicious! Fun atmosphere and Crystal provided fabulous service! Will definitely be back the next time we are in town.

Positives They offer plant based wings for vegetarians. Holiday Inn attached to restaurant gives guests free kids meal vouchers. There is also an arcade attached to the restaurant where you can play while you wait for table( if it's actually open) Friendly Staff Negatives The kids meals were basic By the time we got our food I could tell it had been sitting for a while There is always a wait to get seated that is anywhere from half hour to 1.5 hours Once seated it took a long time to get a drink and a longer time to get food. read more

Restaurant was in the hotel we are staying in. Bar food mediocre but service they acted like they were doing us a favor ... pizza was good a little doughy, wings good, burger eh, ice tea was like sludge. I wanted to love it but the staff made it hard.... read more

Anchor Bar - Chicken Wings Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

Dirty dirty dirty. It appeared as if No one had swept carpet or window sills in months. Wings may be original but others have them beat by a long shot. No enforcement of face masks. Generally dumpy. read more

The hostesses were extremely sweet as they were only ones offering any advice. Yes they were short staffed but it appeared poor management more an issue. People at bar were seated and served food within 30 minutes. Most patrons turned away with the 2 hour wait time to be seated. Take out orders were apparently lost or labeled not as important and we were told for almost 30 minutes the kitchen was "boxing it all up." Cannot recommend the food to makeup for the lack of customer service. Will not eat here again. read more

I love this place! Came 2 days in a row ! Dry rub wings well done were crispy crunchy and fabulous!! Original buffalo rub was awesome ! Waitress with tats and dark hair was great! Pizza was super cheeesy and good! Bomb place im from nyc and will def come back for them ! Suicide sauce on the side was good and spicy! Also chipotle bbq was good too read more

This is the birthplace of the original buffalo wing, and I definitely liked them! I had ten mild buffalo wings, and they were very good. I didn't notice a huge difference in the taste compared to other wing places I've had before though. I also had some loaded cheese fries as an appetizer, and they were the bomb. This restaurant was very new, and the inside looked amazing. I would recommend eating here for sure! read more

Anchor Bar - Ten mild buffalo wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

Our server was Christy she was awesome. We had a variety of wings: the Original rub, Cajun rub, original sauce & a special one they were trying which was a Smokey honey mustard bbq. Our favorite was the new one they had followed by the original rub. The blue cheese was great, very unique flavor not as strong as typical blue cheese sauce. Blue cheese on the warm original rub was fantastic. Fun place, great food and outstanding service. read more

Such an amazing place. Food was awesome from drinks to entree and appetizers. Server was nice i had a great time.

I will be the first to admit I am not a connoisseur of hot wings, as I don't care for Tabasco. That said, there was plenty to enjoy here. I ordered a summer punch which was delicious and only packed a slight buzz; I could have comfortably drank a couple of these. The chocolate lava cake for dessert was perfect, our server was delightful and everything arrived very quickly. Not being a local, I was actually expecting pizza logs to be less like egg rolls and more like pizza dough rolls but they were still tasty. The pizza sauce could use improvement; it is very runny and not robustly flavored. My sweetie's wings were plump and well-crisped, so maybe I will order wings with a non-buffalo sauce next time. I definitely will have another summer punch and cake though! read more

This is a great restaurant in Niagara Falls, NY! The wait was quite ling on a Saturday evening, however the wait is worth it. The wings are great! They follow social distancing rules, tables are far enough from each other and it felt safe. I would definitely recommend this place for Niagara Falls, NY visitors! read more

Anchor Bar - Wings with Chipotle Honey BBQ sauce - Chicken Wings Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

The wings weren't good at all and the calamari wasn't seasoned. I guess I set myself up for disappointment because I went in with high expectations for them but they didn't weren't good at all. The drinks were good though! read more

Delicious bar food, cold beer, traditional wings. Service good, attentive and speedy.

Great wings and cold beer. Little milder than expected so bump it up a level if you like spice.

Decent restaurant located next to a hotel. Food was fair. Service was a little slow. Prices were mediocre.

I read the Yelp reviews before going here, so I was prepared for a less-than-stellar experience. Service was slow. I ordered a beer and never got it, then was still billed for it. The wings were good but not great given all the hype. It seemed like they forgot the sauce? Overall, even going in with lower expectations, I was still underwhelmed. read more

Stopped in after seeing the falls. It was late and the place wasn't busy. Staff was nice and we ordered a couple dozen wings. Overall I would say that the wings were good but not the best in Buffalo. read more

Very disappointed. Food was meh. Table was sticky. Food came too quick to be freshly cooked. Fried pickles were really good tho. For such a historic place it was underwhelming. read more

Sure everyone knows that the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY was the birthplace of Buffalo wings....so eating them in Niagara still counts, right? Good wings and another tasty favorite is Beef on Weck (Italian Beef on a salted roll). I would go again! read more

Niagara Falls, NY has finally gotten an anchor bar!! Located where the old Tony Roma's used to be, the Anchor Bar is pretty great!!! Food was amazing and fairly priced! Prior to my visit here, I had visited an Anchor Bar in Amherst and had a great time. Our waiter was amazing!! Very attentive and super accommodating! A member of my party ordered something but received the wrong item, and our waiter felt so horrible (even though it wasn't his fault!)- he had the kitchen whip up the correct order and didnt charge us for the replacement or the mistake meals! If you love the 716 area, you'd like this place; Home of The Buffalo Wing (which are huge!), this place hits all the topics, great food, buffalonian culture & history, and a nice atmosphere to top it off!! Will definitely be coming back!!!!! read more

Thank you for being open for breakfast!! Hotel breakfast was all but non-existent . Greeted here by friendly staff, served promptly and it was very good. Will be back for their famous wings but you can get them at breakfast! read more

We only had the breakfast which was a buffet but it was mediocre and overpriced. Also the coffee was watery and not at all satisfying.

Wings were great and little too crispy which made the meat and skin a little tough to eat. Original buffalo dry rub had a little heat with a touch of brown sugar but great flavor overall. The jerk was tame by still a great flavor without being hot. Chicken Alfredo was nice and creamy with a traditional flavor. Sports bar atmosphere with music, adult vibe but still able to bring your kids. A little loud but a nice place none the less. Great service and food. read more

Obviously we had to stop here on during our stay in NY and picked up the 20-piece size with medium sauce. Everything was authentic and perfect. Reminds you that Buffalo wings really don't need anything fancy to make them good. read more

Anchor Bar - Chicken Wings Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

Waitlist is half an hour even though half of the restaurant is empty. Takeouts take two hours. Such an aweful restaurant.

Stayed a few days in the hotel. You will want to notify the front desk if you want your room cleaned or toiletries refiled if you are staying more then one day. The attached restaurant is garbage. The breakfast food is bland ,The servers got three of seven orders wrong, they could not keep drinks full, I tried to have a mixed drink with breakfast (did not go well), and the food was cold. We where one of three tables there. Thinking it was just the time of day I took my family back to the restaurant for lunch. After the 10 mins to be seated in still an almost empty floor. I had to get manager attention after 20 mins to get someone to take our drink order. And hour after that, we where able to put in out food order. Drinks where never topped off. Food was cold. we where never checked on. It is just a bad place to be. Such a wast of money. I am embarrassed to even say I ate there. read more

I had the worst meal ever there this evening. It was not even that busy in there and it was a shit show. So slow and the food was HORRIBLE! The beef on weck was processed and nasty. Total disgrace for a WNY favorite. The waitress was horrible and clueless. read more

I got to the restaurant and ordered a pepperoni pizza and loaded fries, went back to my hotel room, and waited for the food for about half an hour, I then went down and got the food and the pizza was pretty good, but the fries were hard and the cheese was cold and not melted at all. I had excellent service from the front desk cashier, but the food is iffy at best read more

Literally the most unnecessarily long dinner experience of my life. 2 hours for wings. That's just silly.

This location was not as nice as the Buffalo location. The atmosphere and the food fall a little short of the Buffalo location and the service was very slow, but there isn't a lot to choose from in the Niagara Falls area so it's still worth checking out if you're hungry. read more
