Great Wing spot in Frederick! We ordered the Wing bucket which includes 50 wings with five different sauce options for $70. They have a special if you arrive before six the bucket is only $50. We sampled jerk, honey old Bay, Thai chili, mango habanero, and honey barbecue. The jerk didn't really taste like jerk to us. I also probably wouldn't get the honey old bay next time. Service was friendly. They offer inside, outside and a big bar area. Plenty of parking near the mall. read more

Anchor Bar - Bars Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

4.5 Stars Pros- Food was fresh and good! Priced nicely, wont break your bank. Service was perfect. Cons- No wet naps? Your serving wings and ribs, gimme wet naps please. Who knew Anchor was is in Frederick? We didn't. My wife, a Buffalonian born and raised and we've both been to the original Anchor Bar in Buffalo dozens of times so we had to check this location out. In the door we noticed the place was clean and had a very warm and cozy vibe but had a sports bar atmosphere with plenty on TV's to watch a sport of your choice. The staff was super friendly and the menu has all your favorites. Our server was Nicole who was actually amazing in every way, very sweet and attentive to whatever we wanted. We ordered a small pizza, The special which was ribs and a side, we chose Cole Slaw and of course wings (Original). The pizza was very good, had Cup n Char Pepperoni which is what I expect from a Buffalo bar/resteraunt. The only thing is it could have stayed on the brick another minute or so to crisp up the bottom more. The Ribs were dynamite, perfectly cooked with a slight char on the bottom. They were fall off the bone with an amazing smoke flavor. The Cole Slaw was awesomeness as its how we like it, sweet and creamy. Now, drum roll, the wings, cooked wonderfully to be juicy and saucy but...yes but, could have been a little crispier but, they were great. We live 50 minutes away and will travel to come back. Great job. read more

Our first visit an we were certainly satisfied. We ordered 10 medium wing and buffalo dip. My wife, who's not a big wing eater LOVED them. The best she's ever had. The medium sauce was perfect for her and good for me. I could have gone a little hotter. There a a number of levels and as we watched more orders we realized we could have mixed sauces. Next time. My wife loved the wings by the dip was even better. If Anchor Bar was closer to us we'd be regulars. The service was great and wait time seemed normal. We'll definitely make the drive again. read more

Terrible restaurant: worst service: 30 minutes before a waitress bothered to ask for our drink orders, 30 minutes to get drinks and take orders, 30 minutes to receive meals. The food was worse than terrible: the barbecued chicken sandwich had absolutely no taste and had the consistency of white rubber. The topping of the sandwich tasted like aged coleslaw. read more

The wings are very good. That this "sports bar" doesn't have MLB network is pathetic. The only options were Orioles and Astros. Really? Break your piggy bank and get MLB Network. Also, that the bartender didn't know the soup of the day or didn't want to find out after I inquired is insane. If I owned this place he would be fired today. Leaving money on the table. read more

Stopped at Anchor Bar for late night bite and drinks after running errands. We wanted something low key, and glad we decided to stop check them out. We got there around 830pm and they were pretty busy. We grabbed two seats at the end of the bar and we're greeted by the bartender pretty quickly. I opted for a long island, which is very unlike me, but I really enjoyed it. Since we weren't really hungry we ordered and shared the buffalo chicken nachos. They were pretty good, but could've used a few more chips since there was still a lot of queso left. They seem to have a lot of options on their menu, so i definitely plan to stop by again and order their pizza or one of their sandwiches. Anchor Bar is a sports bar and im sure they get pretty busy during football season. But I can see why a lot of the locals enjoy it. Overall, good experience and would definitely go back. read more

We really, really like this place. We've been twice and both times it had a great, high energy atmosphere. There seem to be several locals that tend to hang out at the bar, but that doesn't prevent the wait staff from being attentive to everyone else. The pizza is really good and they're obviously known for their wings. The wings, both boneless and traditional, live up to the hype. It's a great sports bar, with plenty of TVs in the bar area and the dining room area. We met the owners on one of our visits and they really seem to take pride in the place. I can't wait until we go back! read more

Anchor Bar - Visit with Santa at the Anchor Bar - Bars Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Great servers at the bar again.....chicken wings were awesomely crispy/crunchy. Would love for the owner to be sure customers can get Labatt Blue/ Blue Light or Molson year round, since it's a Buffalo themed bar and that's what upstate NY beer drinkers want available (for the most part). Would love the owner to consider this read more

We were craving these wings and came back. Although they were busy, we didn't wait very long to be served and receive our food. The outdoor patio is gorgeous on a warm spring day! Highly recommend. read more

Just so so. Mediocre food and service. Uncomfortable seats. You can find a better place.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, food was good but not the greatest. Crab dip was overly salty and overpriced. Meat pizza was very greasy which is understandable but ruined any chance of tasting the cheese or sauce. Fried pickles were inconsistent, some were cold, others were hot. Overall seemed like a decent place but definitely expensive for what it is. read more

Sat on the patio for 15min. No one came by. No one at the door to assist. Bar backs were clueless in help and making of drinks other than pour and service taps. No button no drink. Seems management is lacking a lot. Wings are ok small but ok. Nothing special or unique compared to the other local establishments. Once I got service the service was good and friendly. Menus were hard to read. Old and scratched up. Small print Appetizer came out quick fried pickles. Not bad. Really hot! Took forever for wings to come out there afterwards. Almost had to reorder them. 35+min. What the heck. Wings were warm to hot mostly warm. Server checked in on us few and far between. Sloo services e for a solo night. A lot of empty tables $2 Upcharge for flats request on wings Never disclosed by server or Menu Suprise!! Whatch the upcharges they sneak in! Poor Ownership!!!! They are supposed to have an alchohol tax and a food tax. Nope just a flat tax Yelp wont let me take a picture unless I give permission to my photo library and turn on mic feature. Not gonna happen yelp read more

Wings were raw... again. So freaking gross. Rubbery and gross. Friends got food poisoning from Anchor Bar before from eatting raw wings, but we gave it another try. I ate one and hope I don't get sick. I will never order wings again from Anchor Bar. As a side note, the wings also had zero sauce on it. Seen that happen nearly everytime we've gone. Had to ask for a little side of it, but ended up not eatting them even though we paid for them. They only comped our friends. The burgers were also all over cooked and the crab pretzel wasn't great. I doubt we go back. Before the wing complaint when we asked for ketchup the waitress got annoyed and listed out other items we should ask for at that time. The worst part is one of us asked for the manager who was only a few feet away but couldnt be bothered and that is crap customer service. I would avoid this restaurant. read more

Anchor Bar - Raw Chicken - Bars Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I enjoyed the wings of Anchor Bar at Buffalo few times before. The Frederick location serves wings as good as the original store. I ordered 20 pieces of Wings and requested two flavors. However, they can only make two flavors of equal numbers of wings, which seems less flexible. Other than that, no complains. read more

I was alittle skeptical because they were a chain restaurant but they win best wings of Frederick year after year so I thought I'd give em a shot. I was pleasantly surprised they were actually pretty good! Not many places can't get dry rub down and theirs were pretty good! The wings are a decent size and cooked well but they are pretty expensive I got a bucket of 50 and after tax it was around $75. The service was fast so I would probably come back but I do believe there is better wing places in town. read more

10/ 10/25/2025@4:35pm We were passing through Frederick , and decided to stop at The Anchor Bar. We walked in, and stood at the desk , there were at least 3 staff members there, not one of them acknowledged us . Instead. They helped the man behind us .FYI , if you're BROWN, don't patronize them. SMH read more

We hadn't been here in a while and decided to go again last week because we passed the restaurant and saw the sign, "Vote Best Wings". Upon pulling up to the restaurant we notice the best wings sign was three years old. Although the waitress and staff were very friendly the wings weren't great. Sure, they are big, but they definitely should have been cooked longer, as they seemed rubbery and undercooked. The two different sauces I had weren't great either. We did like the number of tv monitors with sporting events. This made for a nice eating experience. read more

We used to love Anchor Bar, grew up in Buffalo so it's been a long time of loving their wings! Still do but their customer service is non existent or at least it was for us. We ordered beer and an orange crush along with wings. The orange crush was bad, cheap orange juice I guess because I asked for Tito's vodka. I told the waitress I didn't like it, and she said ok. I asked to get something else but she said that was against policy and one of the floor manager agreed. So lose a customer over $3.00 worth of liquor??? If they aren't allowed to do that, then offer me a dessert or something on the Josue to appease the customer. Then they burned one of the two hot dogs we got, so badly it was backed and thick, not char broiled but burned. The waitress apologized and couldn't believe how bad it was. She took it off our bill. So they do know something about customer service I guess? Just so disappointed in the way they handled things. We eat out quite a bit and have gotten a drink I just didn't like the taste of and have always been allowed to change it out. I don't do that often, I'm not an obnoxious customer, but when you're paying so much for a drink you want to like the taste. I'm not looking for anything free, just do something to make the customer feel like they are taken care of and would want to come back. Thank you read more

I'm a Buffalo Bills fan by birth so naturally I gravitated to the Anchor bar and the perfection of the interior decor but seriously... love coming here for football and other sports. Food is delicious (I love the old bay wings and the drunken muscles). It can get a little noisy here but it's a fun vibe. Service can be a little sluggish during game day but worth it! read more

I've never been disappointed. I had the Buffalo chicken salad. It comes with mild sauce so of course I switched it to extreme heat. It was outstanding.

Anchor Bar is a great addition to Frederick and I hope it sticks. Their wings are absolutely the best and their happy hours are great. The service has always been good and this visit was no different. The live music they have on certain days adds to the experience. Full disclosure I love wings but the other offerings are just as flavorful and tasty. read more

To be honest all we've really had here are the wings over 3 visits and truly they are amazing. The Buffalo is great. The garlic parm is probably the best we've ever had anywhere! Every month they feature a different brewery and those brews are only $5 so it's a good way to try something new for cheap. We love the atmosphere and have been happy each time. read more

If you like loud, over stimulating, stressful places to eat then this is the place for you!! Loud live music, drunken people screaming and yelling, at least 10 tvs going. I was sitting directly next to my husband and we had to scream at each other just to hear. Don't come here for date night, or a relaxing meal! read more

Stopped in after getting into town for work to have a beer, eat some wings, and catch the football games. Even alone, the staff treated me well and I received excellent service. Great specials on food and beer as well. Really cool atmosphere, but be ready - this place is PACKED for the games. Don't let it deter you though. Really great place. read more

Outstanding food and service. Would return any time. Our waitress, Kylie was amazing.

Well, the food was good. At least the food that was correct was good. A grilled chicken sandwich was a grilled cheese. Except it was ordered as a grilled chicken. So, that error cost them a star. The loaded fries were awesome. Fried pickles were pronounced yum. Philly Steak egg rolls, yum! Overall, the error cost them one star. The food was quite good, so they are on our go-back again list. We are still wandering through new Frederick restaurants, so we aren't repeating yet. Anchor Bar is on our go-in-person list for the next meal. PS. The labs enjoyed the last bits of loaded fries! Like I said the food was very good. read more

I experienced a clear case of discrimination based on ethnicity at the Anchor Bar in Frederick, MD. As soon as I sat at the bar table, the server, instead of asking what I wanted to drink, asked, "Where is your accent from?" When I ignored her question, she repeated it loudly for the whole bar to hear. When I responded that it was none of her business, she refused to serve me. Luckily another waitress was kind enough to take my order. read more

Wing prices are absolutely absurd - $17.99 for an order of 10 measely chicken wings? - thought there had to be an error. Looked at menu online that showed $14.99. ( thats bad enough) asked bartendender and she confirmed menu price is currently $17.99 - expressed my concerns and advised they should update on line menu pricing - maybe they are embarassed to do so - 10 wings simply are not worth 18$! - and to be honest theirs arent even that great. Wont be back and think twice unless you just feel like paying absurd prices per ounce for average chicken read more

I mean they basically invented the buffalo wing. What else can you say? The wings here are great and are a decent size. When we arrived at our table it was a bit dirty with wet spots and a few crumbs. I started wiping the table and a waitress (not ours) promptly cane over to take over and wipe down the table for us. The mussels were half off today (Saturday) which was a bonus. read more

The wings are delicious. I know this is a chain place, but they definitely beat out other chain wing spots. Pizza, I'll pass on that from here as that's a fail option. Safer to pick up a frozen one from the grocery store lol. Staff is always very nice and friendly! Prompt service and very attentive to our needs. The environment is clean and presentable. It can get loud, but it's a restaurant/bar so nothing out of the norm lol read more

Some dreams don't come true. I recently traveled through Buffalo with my family and was disappointed that we didn't stop at the original anchor bar for buffalo wings. I thought I had a Mulligan while traveling through Frederick, MD and saw that the anchor bar was open for lunch. I could barely contain my excitement. The service was decent, although maybe a little bit detached. The restaurant was clean and had buffalo sports teams as well as local sports teams paraphernalia posted throughout, petty cool. My wife, children and I all ordered buffalo wings and shared an order of French fries. We were all disappointed. So much so that we ate around 3 each, plus all the fries and decided that we had enough and box the remaining wings to go. As we continued our travels and got to our destination we placed our leftovers in the refrigerator and that's where they stayed. Once we were preparing to leave our holiday we decided not to continue to travel with our leftover wings. I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately I didn't. I'll give the original anchor bar a try if I'm in Buffalo again but not this location. Sorry. read more

Food terrible. Service ok. My spouse stopped in for wings with a friend and brought some chicken fingers home for me. The wings were decent, though the chicken was dry, and the service was good. The problems grew with the food they made for my take out. We ordered their "signature" chicken fingers. The first thing I noticed was that the chicken smelled almost burnt. When I bit into it the chicken tenders were also dry. The fries were mediocre at best. The only plus to my meal was the honey mustard, but even their "anchor sauce" was gross. It tasted like some kind of crab dip but it was terribly greasy and not that good. I would not eat here again, especially when you can get pretty bomb chicken spots in Frederick like Watsons, Hangry Joes and Heavenly. read more

We have been to anchor bar many times and have always loved their wings. The last 2 times we ordered fried pickles for $12 and literally got like 6 pickle slices. The first time we brought it to the waitresses attention and she quickly apologized and brought a few more (we figured it was just a fluke). Today, when we asked about the portion, a manager came over and literally said "our portion size is 8oz so there's really nothing I can do." It was awful customer service and we will never order the fried pickles again. So horribly handled. Very disappointed. read more

I just want to say that I absolutely love how many options for the wings there are here. You can get them with different dry rubs before they're fried, you can get all drums or flats, cooked well done for extra crispy, and a ton of flavors. I ordered original buffalo medium (all flats, of course ) and the Soup of the Day (chicken pablano). The soup was absolutely fantastic and didn't come from a can. Chunks of chicken and amazing flavors dominated my pallet. It kind of reminded me of a chicken tortilla soup. The wings were amazing as they were served steaming hot. I love that they came with a bowl to put the bones in while you're eating. The wings sauce is SO good and full of flavor. The service was outstanding and I absolutely love the decor. On the walls they have local sports jerseys framed and Bills memorabilia everywhere. The bar is also very spacious and great for game day. Don't let the crowd deter you from watching a game there. If you like wings then this is the place for you. read more
