The Anchor Bar is a chain that originated in Buffalo and is definitely worth a visit. They specialize in wings (where they claim the original Anchor Bar invented them), but have a full menu. Service was extremely friendly and efficient. Our server was excellent. I had the wings combo, which was 10 wings and tater tots (with an option for fries). My brother and nephew had the same thing. They have a range of sauces or rubs you can choose. I have a wimpy palette so I had the honey bourbon BBQ. The wings were excellent, crispy skin and moist inside. The sauce was very nice also. The tater tots were great but there are a LOT of them. One person could order for two. Then we were there on Sunday and loved that they had TVs tuned to a few different games. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Anchor Bar - Wings combo - Sports Bars Near Me - College Station, Texas

This restaurant is fantastic! The food is classic, with a wide variety of options to choose from. Prices are very reasonable, and everything tastes fresh and flavorful. Ambiance: Our server Tristan was excellent, friendly, and attentive. The food came out quickly, and the restaurant itself is spacious with plenty of seating options. The lighting is on the dimmer side, and there are lots of TVs for entertainment. Drinks: We ordered a Moscow Mule and a Lemon Drop Martini. The Lemon Drop was sweet, refreshing, and smooth without a strong alcohol taste. The Moscow Mule was equally enjoyable, with a crisp ginger beer that added a nice fizz. Pretzel Bites: These were golden, crispy, and delicious. They came with honey mustard and queso, both of which paired perfectly, though the bites were flavorful enough to enjoy on their own. All-Meat Pizza: One of the best pizzas I have had. It was loaded with cheese and a great mix of meats, rich and savory. The bacon stood out in particular. It was crispy, smoky, and packed with flavor that really elevated the whole pizza. read more

Came here for the first time for my friend's retirement lunch. We were a group of 25 to include kids. We ordered the wings (salt/pepper, cajun, and garlic parm), and the buffalo chicken salad. Garlic parm wings were flavorful, but really saucy and made me feel a little nauseous due too much sauce. The cajun wings were super dry and had to rely on the dipping sauce. The salt/pepper, although so simple, was probably the most flavorful wings that I've eaten here, but they weren't mixed well so some wings were crazy salty lol. My friend's who set this gathering up, didn't make reservations, but I didn't think it was too bad considering it wasn't busy. We started around 130pm and left at 430pm and it wasn't because we had a great time talking, but it was mainly because the service was so slow. We got seated and got our drink orders fast, but the drinks came out forever plus they forgot 2 drinks, took forever to refill our drinks, took forever and ever to take our orders and even longer to get our food and our checks, and crazy long to get our credit cards and the receipt back. We had plans to go to another location after lunch, but this caused a bunch of us having to cancel those plans. I feel they should have a better organized plan for a larger party such as finding out who's together so they know how to charge each person. The staff are very friendly, but the service was sooooo slow. Parking is a good size, but it can fill up pretty fast. read more

Meh, they're ok. Nice sports bar. Yankee wings just aren't hot enough for the south. Up north they serve 3 oz of dipping sauce, here 1 oz. No bueno. Still service was friendly enough. Gust WiFi should be Duffsisbetter! read more

Finally made it in here since all of CStat says this is where the wings are king! So first they were right the wings are phenomenal and you can for sure tell they are fresh fatty wings, flavors were perfection! Love the option of flavors on fries and the sweet potato waffle fries are sooooo good! Fried pickles were also fantastic I'm just not a ranch girl! Our server was amazing and answered all the questions we had! TVs everywhere were fantastic if you're there to watch any sports but I'm a Philly girl so GO BIRDS!!! read more

It was our first time here at Anchor Bar and finally had to check out what was all the hype. We kept hearing all about how awesome the wings and appetizers were. Yes it was wonderful! It's a bit pricey but I believe worth it. We had the wings, awesome! We got the fried cheese and fried pickle spears! Delicious!! Our waitress was awesome as well! Great first time experience at the Anchor Bar! read more

Great lunch! Lots of TVs and a variety of sports on. The drinks look good too but it was a lil early for me. We will be back! I enjoyed the wings so much, they were cooked perfectly and I thought they were delicious!! read more

Food poisoning from under cooked wings. Very sick. In the bathroom all night and into the morning. Someone should be fired. Very dangerous experience. Very dehydrated. read more

80 for two of us including tip. Somewhat expensive. Ordered chips and cheese dip appetizer. Supposed to have chicken in it, only one piece at bottom. Very costly for small cup. Burger was good. Chicken mac and cheese was good. Large plate. Waitress was good but came to the table at least six times. Barely ate one bite and she was back. Just a little to much interruption. Quiet atmosphere. It was ok. Not going to rush back. read more

I usually check out nearby spots when I travel, and this place was perfect! The food was awesome, the vibe was chill, and the service was top-notch. read more

Poor service while ai just sat at the bar. Not busy and bartender walked past me multiple times without taking my drink order. Finally got a beer. Had my beer drank in 30 minutes and never took my food order even though I had the menu on end of bar. Won't be back. Much better places in town read more

You're simply not gonna find better wings and pizza anywhere else. Our waitress was Brittany and she was excellent. Even the owner, Mark, made a point to come see us and make sure everything was good. Once the word gets out, this place will become a hot spot in College Station. read more

Great food and TVs. Buffalo wings dry!! Zoe was fantastic:) best place in college station for game day

We really like Anchor Bar and typically have very good service eating at the bar. But tonight was not one of them. They left a brand new bartender who didn't have a clue but she tried very hard. When someone came over to assist her they were quite rude and acted as if they had better things to do. I hope this won't happen again. read more

We enjoyed our waitress(Lily), she was very helpful taking our order. My sister and I shared wings and our friend had the shrimp scampi. We will be coming back to try other entrees. read more

What a great new addition to the College Station food scene! The wings are the best in town! We also had the pizza and the Philly cheesesteak. Both were delicious.

It's a keeper! read more

First time trying Anchor Bar, sat at the bar for a late lunch. The inside is decorated nicely, with plenty TVs! Service was intensely slow though, so that was disappointing. We do understand working the service well and the bar too but there was not really a balance for the bartender between the two... we had the entertainment of watching (what appeared to be) one of the managers rinsing the cold pint glasses, thawing the cold glasses THEN pouring beers lol. Food was adequate, nothing to really rave about. The wings were cooked right and had good flavor for the sauces but average, at best, in size. The jalapeno poppers however are definitely not worth the price... would recommend any other appetizer if there is a better ratio of portion and price. We lucked out and had $2 draft beers while we were there - so that was a plus for the cost of the food... we will likely give it another try but unfortunately it won't be on our general rotation. read more

Great sports bar. The food and the service were great! Our bartenders were friendly, attentive and very personable. The manager put on the Texas Tech, Cincinnati game in the heart of Aggieland!! We really appreciated that. We will be back our next time traveling through. read more

Every thing was great! The service was on point fast and helpful. The environment comfortable with a well thought out floor plan. The wings were the best I've had in College Station, and the roast beef on weck sandwich was great! read more

Real nice experience. I went for a meeting. Didn't even know it was there beforehand. Service was excellent, even with our large group. The wings were tasty and probably amongst the most tender I've had at a wing place. Have to say I preferred the dry rub ones I got? But that's just me. The "sides" were almost a meal in themselves...huge! While I stuck with the basic wings, there were plenty of other things on the menu that looked worthy of a try on another visit!! read more

Went on a crazy busy night for trivia. Probably 30 people were seated at the same time, so we expected bad service and a long wait for food. Absolutely opposite. Order taken quickly, food was fresh and good. Not cheap, my salad was $15, but that's normal these days. read more

Maybe my mistake for ordering take out. 25$ for ten wings and an order of tater tots. The wings were ok. The tots were mushy. The lady at the front was courteous it 25 bucks. First and last time I'll go here. read more

Our server was amazing!! She was so attentive and sweet. Food, drinks, and ambiance great as well! 100/10!!

Having grown up and lived for over 60 years in Western New York, we were really looking forward to a Beef on Weck at the new Anchor Bar in College Station. What a disappointment! The beef was right on, but this was on a lousy replica of a Kimmelweck roll. A Kimmelweck roll dough is brushed with water and lightly sprinkled with caraway seeds and course salt before baking. This was a regular roll basted with butter and smothered with caraway seeds and salt. The roll was greasy with butter and there was so much salt as to be inedible. We had to brush the salt off and, unfortunately, the caraway seeds with it. Surely your bread vendor can make a reasonable Kimmelweck. This one missed the mark. On the other hand, with wings were spot on. Not sure about a return visit. The unique offering in these parts is the Beef on Weck and while this one was unique it was far from authentic. read more

This is a Must try. The food is delicious. Everyone from the owner to the bar tenders work hard to make sure your experience is perfect. TVs everywhere to watch your favorite teams and ice cold beer. Highly recommended! read more

Maybe if you eat in the restaurant a better experience is possible, but the to-go experience was TERRIBLE! From a clueless employee who was unwilling to even check whether or not menu items listed online were available, to receiving an order that didn't contain the wings we paid for, to management personnel who were unwilling to acknowledge any sort of responsibility for the issues, I wouldn't wish a dining experience with Anchor Bar in College Station on anyone! read more

Chicken was ok lack of some flavor on the chicken below the sauce. nothing special. Seems over priced for just a plate of chicken wings and no fries. The queso was really good. Would go back for that over the chicken. read more
