    Service is quick and pleasant. Your typical tourist-town buffet breakfast options: pancakes, french toasts (recommended), bacon, sausage, eggs, omlette, oatmeal, rice pudding, toasts, tatter tots, canned fruits (pineapple, peach, papaya), cooked beans, jello, chicken fingers. Water (bottled $3.99 extra), but seems coffee/tea might be included. Large space with lots of diners on the weekend. Buffet price $12.99 for breakfast. There's also dinner buffet for $25.99.

    We recently took a family trip to Niagara Falls and stopped at Almacs buffet for breakfast. For $12.99, I can't complain! They have a good variety of breakfast foods such as scrambled eggs, omeletes, bacon, sausage, tater totes, pancakes, waffles, toast, French toasts, oatmeal, as well as fruits and some sweet treats. The only complain I have would be the scrambled eggs and waffles.The scrambled eggs were a bit cold and the waffles were quite hard. Other than that, for $12.99, you can't beat an all you can eat breakfast buffet in Niagara.The services was very good with staff being quick and friendly. We will be definitely coming back here next time we are in Niagara Falls.

    Finally got to try the dinner buffet. It's better value than breakfast. They get 3.5 stars because no one told me there was food at the BBQ station outside too so I missed it (sausages, burgers & two more things). Don't miss it! It's not gourmet quality but at $25.99 you get more than what you pay for and the cold dishes, 2 soups, cheesecake, rice pudding & plain yogurt with syrup punched above their price class. The ice cream is the same cheap ice cream that low end buffets use but it was kept well, so it had few ice crystals. There's even roast beef (though it's a little tough). The chicken nugget I had was dry but that's kinda on me - what sort of adult eats nuggets at a buffet? But then, I had to write a holistic review after all, and that meant trying everything. Even the pasta in watery tomato sauce where some strands were stuck together (yeah, skip that too). Remember to bring your own water so you don't pay for a bottle. The plates & bowls here aren't the cleanest or driest.

    For a buffet that cheap, my brother and I did not have high expectations. We went during breakfast and luckily did not have to wait long for a table (about 10 minutes) and the place was super packed. The breakfast selection was mediocre, we were expecting them to offer more choices. I knew that they charged for water and did not want to pay for it so we brought our water bottles there. The waitress saw us drinking it and said that was not allowed and told us to put it away. It's weird that they don't give water for free and expect people to pay $3-4 for a bottle of water. The food was okay, there were some that I took from the buffet table to my seat and it was cold already. My brother was not a fan of the food unfortunately. I'd say this place is worth if you just want to fill up your belly for cheap.

    Food was not good, they charge for bottled water and even the beer I received was flat along with my husbands soft drink. Do not recommend.

    Stopped in during the off-season and the bartender was fantastic. She was running the bar by…read moreherself and absolutely handled it -- attentive, friendly, efficient, and professional the entire time. I wish I remembered her name, but thank you. You made the visit. Now, when you market yourself as the Original Buffalo Wing, that carries real weight. There's history there. There's pride there. And honestly, there's an expectation that comes with it. If you're going to carry that banner, you have to be better than Buffalo Wild Wings. That's just the reality. The identity of the place is built on being the original. The wings were good. Solid flavor, classic presentation, cold beer, sports on the TVs -- it checks the boxes for a fun wing spot. But were they clearly a step above other national wing chains? Probably not. And that's where the expectation gap shows up. That said, it's still a good place to grab wings and a beer. Bring your buddies, bring your family, bring your girlfriend -- catch a game and hang out. It's casual and comfortable. If you're in Niagara Falls and want to experience the history behind the name, it's worth a stop. Just go in expecting a solid wing-and-beer experience rather than something that completely resets the standard.

    I've heard about Anchor bar many times over the years and though the pics I've seen of their…read moreBuffalo Wings never looked appetizing to me, I stopped in here one evening because it was a quick walk from my hotel and it was pouring rain. When I got there they were moderately busy, but there were many seats available at the bar, where I sat. It took a while before the bartender came to greet me and it was a quick touch & go when she did. Service was extremely lackluster the entire visit as she stayed at the other end of the bar the entire time, either handling service bar or patrons on that end... Made me wish I would have sat down there instead. But I had to wait for basic stuff, like a fork after being served my food. The food was decent. I tried their Beef on Weck and Wing combo - It looked nice then it came out, but it didn't come with much horseradish and I wanted to ask for more, but I'd still be waiting, so I dealt with what I got. The sandwich itself was great! Beef was tender and flavorful, the bun was great too - except I don't understand why they made them with the outside being so greasy, that's nasty. The wings had decent flavor, I ordered them with their spicy BBQ sauce on them, which wasn't spicy at all. They had a nice crisp to them too, but they were small and not very meaty, so 5 went down quickly. The fries were plain and basic, nothing special. I had to wait quite a while for the check and ended up flagging down the barback to get it for me and hurried up and paid while I had his attention, as the bartender never came back down to our end of the bar. Seems like the 2 guests around me had the same issue. Overall, it's a touristy place with mediocre food and poor service.

It's not a bad place to go to sit down and relax and they offer a lunch buffet with spaghetti, chicken and salads. I came here to work a little bit and while the service was good, the food (in particular the burger was just A-OK). We started with an order of hot wings which were fairly delicious and the blue cheese that came with it was high quality. On the Buffalo Wing scale, I'd give em a 7/10, which is pretty good. They could have used more crisp, but the wings were saucy and large to be a contender for some more delicious ones. The burger really fell flat. The bun wasn't tasty and could have used some toasting. The meat had no discernible seasoning. The waitress didn't know whether it was cooked from frozen or not when I asked. Although I was asked how I wanted it cooked (med rare, please!), it came out medium well / well and didn't have too much flavor. I'd skip the burger, go for the wings and maybe try a few other things on the menu. All in all, it's an A-OK place to grab lunch if you're on a budget.

Service from the bartender was great. He offered up some suggestions, which I needed because they have a large menu loaded with so many appetizing and amazing looking options. I started with their potstickers... They came out with a hard, fried shell and the dipping sauce went nicely with them. Enough to share, or even enough to enjoy and still have room for an entrée. My main dish was their Chicken & Waffle. This isn't some ordinary chicken and waffle, it's definitely an amped up version, made with unique and interesting ingredients, culminating in great flavors! The chicken was so large and very tender - it was amazing! The bacon and sauce on top went with it nicely, and the chive waffle was great with it! Each bite was definitely amazing!

The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, which made it even more enjoyable. I ordered fried calamari along with single chicken wings tossed in an Asian sweet and spicy sauce--both dishes were flavorful and satisfying. The combination of crispy textures and bold flavors really stood out. What made the experience even better was the service. Our server was amazing--attentive, friendly, and truly great at her job. She made us feel welcome from the start. I always enjoy trying new places, and this visit did not disappoint. If you're looking for an American restaurant near Niagara Falls, this is definitely worth trying. We ended the meal with a delicious dessert,which was the perfect sweet finish to a great experience.
