    Grilled Chicken Caesar salad
    Kinnie I.

    Food 4/5 Service 5/5- friendly server, fast Ambiance 4/5 Pricey for a Caesar salad (airport prices so no surprise, with tip $22) with grilled chicken, but huge size and decent taste. I wanted the 'healthy choice' on the menu. Service was fast thankfully as I needed to catch a flight from the Buffalo Airport. Due to flight delays I was stuck at the airport for nearly 6 hours and the tummy started rumbling. I much prefer other Anchor Bar locations in WNY. This was a meal more out of necessity. But overall a good experience.

    Beef onWeck and wings

    Stopped into the Anchor Bar with two friends who had never experienced Buffalo food before, and it ended up being the perfect introduction. I ordered the black and bleu turkey burger with fries, and it was delicious -- great flavor, cooked well, and surprisingly satisfying for a lighter option. My friends went all‑in on the Buffalo classics: beef on weck and wings. They loved both and got the full "taste of Buffalo" experience in one meal. Service was friendly and quick, even with the steady crowd. The decor is Buffalo‑themed from top to bottom -- exactly what you want from a place with this much history. Tons of TVs, a long bar, and that lively, game‑day energy. There's also a big merch section with very elevated tourist prices, but it's fun to browse. Overall, a great stop for visitors and locals alike. Solid food, fast service, and a full dose of Buffalo atmosphere.

    Combo plate, Weck and wings.  I think $25.  Local ipa added another $10/11.

    Pleased to have an airport opportunity to get the iconic Anchor Bar wings since I didn't make it to a downtown wing joint this trip. Pros: The combo plate of Wings and Beef on Weck met my Buffalo culinary needs. The wings (medium) were expertly fried to crispness, and sauced well. I even got an extra on the plate. Celery and blue cheese proper temp and good traditional complements. Weck roll and horseradish both authentic and well done. Beef generous for the plate. Bartender friendly with great personality. Cons: absolutely chaotic when it gets busy. Luckily I was able to squeeze through to a seat at the end of the bar. Luggage everywhere, long line to get a table. Limited beer choices - though the local IPA I had was perfectly fine. Mac salad "meh", and disappointing to see the costs to substitute it. Au Jus was in a small container and a bit salty. Overall, a little pricey even for airport prices ... but good enough value that I'd return. Crappy reality TV stunt show on bar TV. Net - net: come here to get your buffalo wings and Weck fill if you missed out elsewhere. If you are seeking a quiet relaxing place while awaiting a flight, this may not be the place.

    We were immediately seated by the hostess and welcomed by our waitress. Less than five minutes after placing our orders, our Caesar salads were in front of us: So fast! The lunch was just right while waiting for a replacement plane!

    My parents love this restaurant for buffalo wings. They say they have the best ones. The ceaser salad was good. Nothing too crazy. You should definitely get wings here though. Employees were very friendly. Food came fast.

    Anchor Bar is the one thing that makes this airport so great! This is a satellite of the original famous Anchor Bar in Buffalo that our best friend of blessed memory loved as he lived in Buffalo for a while. My wife and I both had platters with the Beef on Weck and the Buffalo Wings which were amazing. We tried two of the local Buffalo beers on draft we loved which were the Big Ditch Hayburner and the 42 North Borderland IPA and tried the one Canadian beer we didn't try which was Labatt Blue that we didn't like as much. The service was also great and very fast.

    Like most airport restaurants it's all about the time you stop in. We were here just ahead of the lunch crowd and had a great meal and friendly, on time service. Wings weren't drenched in sauce so they had a nice crispness when biting into. I liked Duff's just slightly better but both were 5 stars. Even bought a bottle of sauce to take home and can't wait to try it on some homemade wings.

    As I was waiting for my morning flight and with limited dining options, I decided to try this restaurant. The restaurant decor was okay.... just another restaurant in an airport. However, the music is very inviting with a mixture of country music. Great selection. The restaurant was not busy plus the menu is more limited for it's breakfast options. Matt, server, took my order right away. I decided on the Breakfast Sandwich meal which included breakfast potatoes and a beverage so I opted for a soda. Within a few minutes, the meal was delivered. The meal was okay, however, it really did hit the spot. Matt was friendly while he checked in with me. Overall an decent restaurant for breakfast.

    Chicken tenders meal (medium sauce)

    There aren't a lot of options in the airport so I decided to give Anchor Bar a try. I was in Buffalo so I thought I'd get buffalo tenders. What a disappointment! I've had better tenders out of the freezer section at the grocery store. They were so flat and had almost no meat. I ordered medium sauce but it just tasted like bbq sauce. Flavorless bbq sauce. The bleu cheese dipping sauce tasted like tarter sauce. The fries were good and my waitress was friendly. They should not serve this ever again. Especially in Buffalo

    Not the original,  but hopefully the same quality of wings!
    Darren O.

    Fun to eat at an Anchor Bar even if it was in the airport. The wings were top notch- definitely better than any other airport wings I've had. Obviously there is a reason they are famous! The mozzarella sticks were good- but nothing unusual. The roast beef on weck, was simple but tasty. The weck bun has salt and caraway seeds on it. So good with horseradish and au jous. The Mac salad was different than Hawaiian, but it fit the meal perfectly. Our server was great and was very efficient and friendly.

    WINGS N WECK
    Katie Jo H.

    Ok. Airport restaurant so I'm assuming mediocre at best but IT WAS GREAT! I've eaten at the original anchor bar and honestly wasn't expecting it.to be as good but it was delicious! Our server was Bobby and he was quick and efficient. We had the chicken wing soup (GET IT!! YUM) and the "wings n weck." I've had so many wings and beef on weck this trip and I have to say these were up at the top of my list! The roast beef was super tender and juicy and the horseradish had the best burn,, the wings very crispy, and the soup was fantastic. I strongly recommend eating here esp if you're getting your last Buffalo Food fix before heading back to wherever you came from!

I have always liked the wings here, I just always get distracted by all the other good food like the burgers and chicken fingers. But their wings are one of my favorite in all of Buffalo. They have so many good flavors but I ended up going with the kickin bourbon bbq and some medium this time. Service here is always fast and they really have perfected the customer service factor. The vibes here always have me with the nostalgia of the old restaurants and bars from way back. It's great with all the TVs and decor. This is what they mean by hidden gem. Great spot with great service and food. You can't go wrong here.

They have a TON of flavors to choose from. We love the Jamaican jerk sauce and now get it on our chicken sandwiches and wraps. I've also tried and enjoyed the hot garlic sauce. The wings are 75 cents with some specialty sauces at a slightly higher price. We also enjoy the Thursday special that is $12 burgers, chicken sandwiches, and chicken wraps! Includes fries and a pickle. I've tried several of the chicken wraps and my favorite is the Island Blitz with no tomato. We will soon come for the new Monday taco special! (They are closed on Tuesdays) Mark the bartender is both friendly and attentive. We've even had the pleasure of talking to Steve the cook who makes the delicious food. There are other items I want to try on the menu, but it's hard because I love that wrap so much. I'm so glad we decided to stop for those wings because now this is one of our regular dining spots. Check it out you won't be disappointed.

I loved all the sauces we tried (saucy hot cajun, medium, and garlic parm). The wings were perfectly crisp, and the steak pizza had a ton of flavor. Definitely a heavier meal, but if you're bringing someone from out of town who wants great wings, this is a spot worth taking them to.
