I was out of town and stopped by for dinner and drinks. It was good, no complaints, good drinks and service. Place got packed too

My friend invited me to this bar to catch up and watch a game. We sat at the bar, and our server was friendly and attentive. I ordered 2 different drinks, and both were very good. We ordered wings and a side of tater tots to split. The wings were excellent with just the right amount of heat, and the tater tots were crispy, not greasy, and were perfect for soaking up more wing sauce. The energy of the bar was friendly and fun, definitely a great spot to catch a game with friends. read more

Unfortunately we did not enjoy our experience. We were really excited because the menu seemed to have lots of delicious options. All I wanted were good wings. We got the all meat pizza w Buffalo lemon pepper wings, Mac & cheese balls appetizer, Caesar salad w JERK wings, and two drinks. Would've been about $80 but we sent back the uneaten salad and jerkless wings. Mac and cheese balls seemed like Kraft but weren't terrible just not worth it. Caesar was just not good. The sauce was off. There was no jerk on the wings. Not sure there was even jerk in the building. The all meat wasn't bad I liked it. The Buffalo wings were really good thank goodness. Drinks were subpar Our server Leslie was very nice and accommodating which is why there are 2 stars. We won't be back though read more

I came in last Wednesday with a friend for a quick late night bite. For those folks who don't know, having the Anchor Bar in RR is a real treat as the Anchor Bar holds a very important place American food history, as the original New York location created the deep-fried, sauced delicacy that would become known as the Buffalo wing. As the hour we arrived was closer to closing time then opening, we opted just for beverages and a 10-piece wing to split. The wings were tasty, cooked well and my friend and I enjoying some live sports and lively music in the background. However, the lemon pepper rub was a bit drier than expected. *We ordered the sweet and spicy Korean sauce and the lemon pepper rub* The drinks were prepared as asked (sepc., I asked for an extra shot of Tito's with my Bloody Mary). In general, Anchor Bar's an O.G. on the chicken wing circuit.  Sure, there's better alternatives, but don't shun a joint who's meant so much to the scene. So, come here for wings and great drinks if only once! read more

Came here today for a Sunday Bills game! This place is super cool. Everyone was so nice and we felt right at home as soon as we got here. The wings were really good, Definitely get some! I didn't have any cocktails bc I was the DD, but the menu looked good. There was a such a fun atmosphere and so many bills fans. I wish it was closer to home! We also got the mozz sticks and some pretzel bites. Yummmm We will be back! Thanks Anchor Bar read more

Excellent food options, good beer selection and cool mixed drinks. Cocktail recommendation: Some like it hot! And they have Stella Artois!! YUMMY WINGS!! Fried Pickles are also good, and I don't like ANY other fried pickles!!!! Finally, the number, size and placement of the TVs is well done and PERFECT to catch your favorite ball games!!! read more

Awesome food and service. Had no idea this was the place to watch Buffalo Bills games too. Everything fresh and tasty. Never empty drinks. Will be back for sure. read more

Stopped in for a quick beer and to check out this place and it surprised me some... Didn't know what to expect but really 54 TVs, you bet!! Turned out I hit Happy Hour with $2 off pints. Their menu is extensive with specialties of real Buffalo wings, a good selection of local craft beers, great hamburgers, I have my eye on the Hatch burger, etc., etc. They're in the old Logan's Road House location and created a fun atmosphere to include a dog-friendly deck. Friendly bartenders and a good location. Definitely a repeater for me! Update: crazy good queso! read more

Came here for a Saturday college football watch party and was really happy w the experience. They open at 1045 on football days which is helpful and trust me people are lined up at the door. The drinks were strong and delicious and the food was a great variety. We tried the sample platter for appetizer which included fried pickles, fried macaroni cheese balls, and pizza logs. Came w several sauces and it was all tasty. I tried their 10 piece boneless w two types of sauce, honey sriracha and sweet and sour Korean and both were spicy and delicious! I wanted to try other things off the menu so I'll have to come back! read more

Heard a lot about the history of this place as a spin off of a famous, Buffalo football bar and reportedly the birth place of chicken wings. Had to try the wings, right? Well, unfortunately these weee really disappointing. They have a pretty good list of sauce flavor options but the wings seemed like standard, flash frozen restaurant food delivery products. For the price and the hype, not what I thought it was going to be. Decent table setup with plenty of TVs if you're looking to catch a game. Pretty standard. Service was good. Attentive to the table but not loitering over you. Prices were a little inflated - $53 for 20 wings and one order of fried pickles (no drinks). Not dissatisfied with this place but was hoping for a bit more given the expectations I'd built up. read more

Excellent wings!! Naked and ask for the different sauces! Go for the 10 pieces! Have to make sure I do not go too much.

I been to the original anchor bar in Buffalo quite a few times and the wings wasn't prepared the same way they do in Buffalo new york. I don't why they charge more for less quality by a huge difference. Plus that establishment didn't have a lot of the stuff on the original menu in upstate nyc. Just wasn't impressed with the quality and the food menu and pretty sure anyone that been to the original spot would agree with me. read more

We took granddaughter here because she was hungry for wings. She said they were the best wings she has ever had. Our waitress was very good and so helpful. Thank you. read more

Been wanting to try the pizza here. It was good, but needs to be cooked longer. Has a lot of cheese and the cupped pepperoni. I liked the sweet sauce too. Wings were large, but didn't get adventurous with the sauce. Need to try some of the hotter flavors and have the pizza cooked well done next time. read more

The inside has some familiarity and then it was revealed the building use to be a Texas Roadhouse. The overall service was good, it was lunch time and a little busy but not too much. I was a little shocked by the side salad. Seems pricey for just lettuce and tomatoes and it wasn't even fresh. The chicken strips were huge and fresh. I loved the garlic parm sauce and how one dip was a perfect coating for my bite. The bourbon bbq sauce was not good and left a lingering taste that wasn't pleasant. My friend for boneless wings and they seemed over cooked and barely tossed. I would go back because of the amount of food for the price. 2 strips were enough and worth every penny. read more

Ordered food for delivery. Boneless chicken was somehow thick and chewy? Overcooked maybe? Bone in wings almost no flavor. Too much cheese on the pizza that was rubbery and the toppings were burnt. Such a shame. read more

My sister and I have fallen in love with Anchor Bar! She doesn't eat chicken! Poor thing! I am a fan of wings! I love that all 5 visits, my wings were cooked perfectly! They are crispy and juicy! I usually order 10 flats: 5 dry ranch and 5 mild (extra on the side). The loaded tots are always wonderful with the perfect amount of cheese and other toppings! Service has been hit or miss. We always tip 20% or more. However, we do have our favorite waiter that is kind and accommodating. The spicy Moscow Mule (depending on the bartender) is amazing! We like it in a regular glass rimmed with Tajin! Don't pass this place up! All of the food offerings are amazing! read more

Absolute best wings around! We stopped in yesterday after hearing some great things and had a fantastic meal. Sauce was flavorful with the right amount of spice and the wings were crispy! The bartenders are very friendly and can make just about any cocktail you can imagine. The decor is very "authentic" Buffalo, NY and a perfect venue for watching sports or just having a nice family meal. Can't wait to come back! read more

I had been craving wings, heard about this place, and was excited to check it out. It was early dinner on Friday, so it wasn't too crowded. Since this was our first time, we ordered the appetizer Sampler Platter to try a variety of items. Everything was delicious, but my favorite was the pizza logs. Who knew pizza toppings wrapped like an eggroll would be so tasty? The wings were perfection. They were all a good size with a decent amount of meat. They were crispy and sauced perfectly. The inside is very nice, and there is no shortage of TVs. This would be a great place to eat yummy food, sip on drinks, and catch a game. Our server was friendly and helpful to us since it was our first time. Food came out quickly, and overall service was great. read more

Good wings! Pizzas pretty good just wish it wasn't cooked how it is but that's just the way they do it. Like almost burned on top

Finally got to try anchor bar on a Friday evening for happy hour, which is from 4 PM to 6 PM Monday through Friday. We got $5 pretzel bites and fried pickles and $8 mozzarella sticks as well as $2 off pints of beer. All of the appetizers were fried perfectly and very tasty and we shared a 10 piece order of bone in wings with half garlic Parmesan and half ranch dry rub. I thought the wings were perfectly cooked with crispy skin and juicy tender meat. I am very picky about wings to where I usually only make them myself at home and only Like getting wings from a couple of spots around town. I would definitely come back here for the happy hour specials and the wings and hopefully I can try some more items on their menu. read more

Good wings but I'd recommend their sauces over their dry rubs. The wings just tasted overly spiced with the dry rub. Buffalo Chicken wrap was OK. Side salad was as basic as it gets. But you're really here for wings, beer, and TVs. They appeared to be doing a trivia night in the bar area on a Tuesday night. The thing we all liked were the Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers. They were a hit with my boys and me. Part of their Happy Hour menu, 3 for $5 or 5 for $8. Friendly and attentive staff. I'd still pick Anchor over other chain wing places. read more

Carving wings and beer so I decided to try this place out as we had never tried it. The price of the wings is a little high but acceptable since everything on the wings went up. I ordered my traditional wings and my boyfriend got boneless wings. Then I notice fried pickle and could not resist ordering them as they are my favorite. The menu on the table only said "hand-breaded, pickle chips fried crispy, and served with out buffalo and ranch. Get them tossed in your favorite Anchor Bar dry rub for 75c!" Which sounds pretty good to us. Sadly when we tried it we found that it was sweet pickle and not the sour kind. The wings were just 3 stars for us. Nothing special. I got honey sriracha wings flavors When my friend got spicy bbq and garlic parmesan flavor. To be honest... none of the flavor that indicate that it will be spicy has no heat at all. The beer came kinda not cold as it should be. Not sure if its a busy sport day or not but food was just meh and service was just meh too read more

This is more like a 4.5 - but no option for that... This place is a great place to go, enjoy some good food and watch a game. Their traditional wings are great - but we prefer to grab their grilled lemon pepper dry rub chicken tenders; ABSOLUTELY A MUST TRY!!! Their pizza logs and pretzel bite are worth an order.... Their jalapeño bacon poppers and the Mango Margarita with Chamoy and Tajin is really tasty. The service is always pleasant and friendly!! Definitely worth swinging by to give it a shot... read more

We went to the Anchor Bar in Round Rock. The food was delicious, hot, and served timely. We got the appetizer variety plate of fried macaroni and cheese with chutney dipping sauce, mozzarella sticks, fried pickles, and pizza rolls. I have to say the pizza rolls were the best! The others were good but the pizza roll flavors were just delicious. My husband had the jalapeño Margarita and it was a generous, flavorful drink for the $10 charged. We had never been but would definitely try the one in San Antonio where we live. The value for the food was appropriate. The other 15 people in our party with very happy with their selections. The wait staff was okay and service was not terrible. It was a birthday and they didn't sing or anything special for the person, who was turning 40, we were celebrating. All in all good experience and would go again. read more

Excellent food, stellar service, great atmosphere! Our 2 meals at Anchor Bar so far have been top-notch! The wing sauce & dry rub selection was so impressive that we had to try about 6-7 of the top sellers. My husband especially loved the lemon pepper dry rub on his chicken wings and raved about the beef on weck--the house-made kimmelweck bun was on point! I loved both the mild & medium Buffalo sauce on my plant-based wings and cauli bites! We both appreciated the house cocktails and beer selection--hard to find Labatt's down here. Went great with the wings--just like being home. Thanks, Anchor Bar Round Rock! We'll be back! read more

The food was good. My friend and I shared their pepperoni pizza. We ordered drinks which overall were good. I say this because it seems like the quality of the mix vs alcohol was more on the juice side. But if you're a light drinker you'll be fine, ha. The only reason I gave it four stars was that when we sat down there was only one set of silverware at the table that sat four and we had to ask for plates. The waiter seemed new so I'm going to go with the thought that he was learning. And I did appreciate the manager coming by to check on everything. P.S. they have a happy hour with certain appetizers and drinks are on the menu. read more

Loved the pecan chicken salad! Super fresh, huge, and delicious . Service good. Drinks good

What a diamond in the rough. Went here not knowing what to expect! Hard to be "home to the original chicken wing" when there are so many places. This place was a sure fire hit!!! We smashed the wings to fast to get a pic!! Party of 10 dudes and beers !?? Yea not gonna last long! However I snapped a few pics of the other amazing food they had!!! Fried, Mac, blt, the Philly and there signature cocktails were delightful! Awesome place to watch sports as they have so many TVS! Btw the pizza is epic and the story behind crispy pepperoni is next level!! This will be a local spot for me as I've already dined here 4 more times after my 1st visit! Place will not let you down! Service above reproach !! Well done!! read more

Good food. Great server. (JamJam) It's hard to find a good restaurant with servers who are joyful since covid. This is your spot. It makes the food better when your server is happy and acts happy to be at work. My husband had the Bloody Mary and thought it was fantastic. Float the river was mild with an Arnold Palmer vibe. The jolly green is sweet tart. Lovely. I had a Mac n cheese burger. It was really good. I subbed the am cheese for pepper Jack. My daughter ate her American burger all up. You will definitely leave full. 10/10 going back. Good food. Good drinks great vibe. read more

As our third (and only) choice for pizza, we ordered. Because we were hungry and we wanted pizza. The first place we called stopped taking orders 3 minutes earlier, the second place had a broken oven and was only selling slices. Anchor took our order. They were polite, our order was ready on time, the staff was super nice. Brought our fare home, ate. It was pizza. Nothing spectacular or even notable. But it was good, so there's that. Except around 3AM, when I woke up violently ill. 2 other people ate the same pizza and didn't have an issue. I, however, have been blessed with a persnickety stomach. And this pizza left me on the loo for over an hour in the middle of the night. So....If you have an iron gut? Go for it. I'll stick to the Brooklyn pizzeria we called first (and got pizza from the next night). Delicious and zero late night distress. read more

Decided to try this new restaurant in Round Rock last night and was not disappointed. Our server, Derrick was kind and very attentive. We got the Mac & Cheese Balls which were quite good but fair warning the Honey Sriracha sauce that accompanies it will kick your butt (I'm not much for hot stuff). My daughter had a Strawberry Daiquiri which was deliciously fresh tasting and with no overwhelming alchohol flavor. For entrees we had a Small BBQ Chicken Pizza, 5 Garlic Parmesan Wings, Mac & Cheese Burger and lots of Ranch. My son wasn't expecting the "Bun" of the Mac & Cheese Burger to be made of a Mac & Cheese Patty. It was different but still good. The pizza was excellent and so were the wings. The wings were big and I feel like it was better than Pluckers (in my opinion). Their housemade ranch is so delicious so I suggest you get lots of it of you like ranch! I'll definitely be back! read more

Wing aficionados know that the Anchor Bar in Buffalo is considered to be the origin of buffalo wings, those tasty mini chicken legs and wings that now are seen across the country covered in any number of sauces. When I was working in western New York, my friends took me there and I enjoyed a great meal. Why I bring this up is that the name of this establishment has a certain cachet and implies that patrons can expect food quality and service similar to what they might find in Buffalo. Unfortunately, that assumption would be wrong. I recently ordered carryout wings and pizza from Anchor Bar while I was staying at a nearby hotel. When I arrived to pickup my order, it was left on a desk near the front door. I asked one of the desk staff if my order was completed and they pointed to the bundle across the way. It's really a poor way to serve a customer rather than go over, pick up the order and hand it to them. This would be a small point if the food was actually good. It was not. Pizza had decent flavor but the crust was completely limp, soaked through by the sauce and toppings that released juices into the flour. It had a very pasty taste, probably not too different than the box it came in. The wings unfortunately were very wet and dripping with sauce that had not baked onto the surface of the chicken. Overall the food and service was really poor. There are many other local restaurants and bars that provide better service. This was an expensive and disappointing waste of time and money that did a disservice to the reputation of the original Anchor Bar. Skip this place. read more
