You can find good quality chicken wings almost anywhere. All a restaurant really needs is two things: 1. Fat, lazy chickens and 2. Reasonable sauces. On the other hand, a roast beef sandwich on a fresh Kimilwick roll is a thing of beauty and difficult to find. I give this establishment five stars for the outstanding service provided by Autumn, who has a high tolerance for "dad jokes", and for serving an authentic roast beef on Kimilwick roll sandwich. It doesn't hurt that they also sell Labatts Blue beer, even if it is at five dollars a bottle. read more

Haven't had service this disappointing in a while. Came in on a Wednesday for dinner and there were maybe 5 other tables seated when we got there. Started by ordering two drinks and appetizers. The appetizers came out fairly fast - they were so-so. We waited about 10minutes for our drinks, which honestly should have come out first before the appetizers. In fact, the whole time my husband saw our drinks sitting at the bar wondering if they were ours. We asked a waitress (ours was nowhere to be found) and turns out they were! I will also note that we weren't offered any water and had to request it. After hailing down our waitress, we ordered our wings and the roast beef sandwich, which came out fast as well. Also just so-so. Not good enough to make me want to go back again. There were a lot of people on staff and many were standing around chatting around the bar. Nothing seemed to run smoothly. We asked for extra sauce and got an affirming "You got it!" but it never came. Our waitress barely checked in to see if we needed anything (which we often did) and the one time she did it looked like she was anticipating us not needing anything and was about to walk off before we could answer. read more

Have been here twice and the wings were delicious! The sauces are tasty, as are the drinks. I really enjoyed how crisp and perfectly cooked the wings came out. The wings weren't greasy or inconsistent. Being able to order all flats made me extra happy. Even the hottest sauce was easily edible though I have insane spice tolerance. I also got habanero ranch dry rub, which was good! Where else can you get a frozen pina colada with your wings? The Moscow mules were also excellent. When we went, tables and bars were clean, which is much better than some other local wing places read more

The wings were really good crispy and juicy! Only thing it lacked was I could use a little more sauce on them. The candy apple martini was pretty tasty! The bartenders are good! The place is really nice! Went back for part two this time I asked for my wings wet so they came out good and I got some pizza logs and loved them. read more

Great spot for wings and a casual meal. The wings were cooked really well - nice and crispy, served hot, and came out fast. The regular hot sauce wasn't overpowering, just a solid heat with good flavor. I really enjoyed the spicy ranch dry rub too. The tots were crispy and hot, just how they should be. Service was friendly, the beer was cold, and the prices felt fair. Honestly, there wasn't anything to dislike except the sewer gas smell in the men's room. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area again. read more

Great wing spot in Frisco! Right across the FC Dallas stadium and plenty of parking. We've been to this restaurant twice and service was great each time. Andrew was our waiter tonight and was very attentive and kind. Our food took a bit to come out but the small wait was worth it! We sat on the patio and really enjoyed the environment as we watched the game on the tv. Highly recommend if you are looking for good wings in north Dallas. read more

The pizza we got was not cooked enough. The wings are ok. Not crispy as we would like.

I went on a weekday, so it was pretty slow but seemed fully staffed. Even with that, we sat for over 10 minutes before I finally asked the bartender if we had a waitress. About five minutes later, we got our drinks, which were fine. It's hard to mess up a beer on tap. The food came out quickly, but it was nothing to write home about. We ordered wings, and while they weren't terrible, Wingstop would definitely have been a better option. Now the service. There were maybe three or four tables seated and a few guys at the bar, which is where the waitresses spent most of their time. Our actual waitress barely checked on us; we had to literally flag her down each time. We ended up asking another waitress if she could grab her and let her know we were ready for the check. I mean, she was nice, so there's that I guess. Overall, the food was average, and the service was very disappointing. Our waitress seemed more focused on chatting at the bar than taking care of her table. I gave two stars for the two beers that were on point but definitely will not be going back. read more

We had a short wait for a table and our server- no name on the receipt, but sweet blonde young lady next to the bar. She was super nice and knowledgable. This was our first visit so I ordered a 10pc original - med wings. My husband ordered the wing combo with garlic parm and fries. We loved my wings w ranch, but my husband didn't like the flavor of his wings, fries or blue cheese. Bummer, because we wanted to love it. We will be back, because we were able to watch part of the Mavs game. I like the seating and lots of televisions to view other sports. One other negative, the manager walked by us twice, made eye contact, but looked away without saying a word. I hate that. My husband would have loved to chat with him. We later found out his name is Mike. read more

Being from western NY, I've been to the original Anchor Bar and Duff's many times. I have to say I was a bit apprehensive to try this franchised Anchor Bar. To my utter shock, this place is the real deal!! The Buffalo Wings and Beef on Wick are soooo tasty and just as good (if not better) than the original location in Buffalo, NY. Pricing and service are phenomenal. I think it's actually cheaper than the original Buffalo, NY location (just going off memory - I didn't confirm). Check this place out! read more

Was really excited to see Anchor bar downtown but unfortunately our experience on a Saturday evening was very average. We were seated right away but the food legit took around 35-40mins to come out. Our order was fairly simple too a kids pasta, 10 original wings and a char pepperoni pizza. Once the food finally showed up everything was just OK. The wings were crispy but the original sauce was once again average. The pizza was below average. The pepperoni cups had no flavor on them whatsoever which was very bizarre. Our waiter was friendly but they are clearly understaffed. Just go to Jake's next door instead! I wish we did. read more

Coming from a buffalo wing enjoyer and girlfriend that is from Buffalo, NY and had dined at the original establishment. This falls far from what we expected. We were sat by a very hesitant hostess to a dirty table, without silverware and menus. We were greeted and served drinks in a normal time. After ordering it took us about 40 minutes to receive our food. The server came by one time to ask if we were doing okay towards the beginning but never came back to give an update or apology for the wait. When we received our food, the wings were lukewarm at best sadly. The server did remedy the problem and got a new set of wings. The rest of the food was hot and good (beef on weck, and fries) read more

The first time I went the service was great! The following three visits are very different. I ordered online for those three and when I got there the service was either terrible or my order was off. Front desk asked for my name to get my order and just never came back. Had the manager grab it after 10 mins. Ordered a pizza with a well done bottom, it was black. I never get my extra ranch. I even paid you for it and I still can't get it. When it's good it's good, when it's bad it's bad. They better figure it out or they'll end up like the restaurants before them. read more

The wings were cooked properly but the heat levels seem off. There's nothing truly hot on the menu as I ordered the top four heat flavors. the pizza was surprisingly good. The Anchor Bar dip was surprisingly small and extremely oily. Unfortunately, the experience takes a bigger hit with the dips. Using private-label Hidden Valley ranch is a real disappointment for a wing spot, and the blue cheese is just average. For a wing house, sauces and dips matter, and these two are make-or-break for me when deciding whether to return. read more

Went here today with my husband and son. We were excited to try the Anchor Bar. It was a great atmosphere inside. The service was great. We ordered their beef on weck sandwich, burger, fries and regular wings. Overall, the food was a complete let down. The wings were probably the worst we have had in Frisco, the fries were delivered lukewarm. The wings were also delivered lukewarm. The beef sandwich was actually really good. For it being a place known for their wings they did not deliver. My son did not like the burger. Clearly there was an issue with the kitchen today. There is so much competition with food in the area, you cannot have bad days, you will lose customers. I want this place to be a success, it is a great location. I hope they can improve. We will give them another chance but it will be awhile before we go back. read more

Excellent host named Manzoor, very friendly, welcoming, and attentive from the moment we arrived. Made the experience smooth and enjoyable. Great first impression for the restaurant! read more

Service wasn't great. Food was just okay. If you have a restaurant in Texas you better have good ranch. That bottled stuff won't cut it. Cool sports bar vibe so the kids liked it and the noise level was ideal for our group of 3 adults and 3 kids. read more

Solid place to watch a game, great service too. Garlic parm wings were good, enjoyed the sides as well definitely shareable portions.

I'll go back one more time and see what's changed. There were four of us. Here's the deal. First thing - drinks are ridiculously weak. Wife and I were starving, i.e. empty stomachs. I had a marg, she had a bloody. While it's not uncommon for me to feel this way, she commented to me that wow, there was nothing in that drink at all. A $14 bloody like that? Come on. My margarita mind as well have been a soft drink. Do NOT order the buffalo chicken sandwich. I don't know where they come up with the idea they have some stellar buffalo chicken sandwich but you could get as good or better from any fast food restaurant. Absolutely bland, there's not buffalo sauce, LOL, had to ask for some. The burgers are just not good. Tasted the meat myself, come on, what is this? Low grade commercial nonsense. In terms of taste, might work for a kiddie burger but don't try to pretend it's a good burger. Sheesh. The roast beef sandwich is good. Had that, no complaints. Had some wings, too. Don't get it - their original wing sauce (supposed to be medium spice) had very little taste. I'll go back and try wings again into the hot range but wow, I'm surprised they even pawned this off as buffalo sauce. The wait people ought to instruct that this is not buffalo sauce as you know it. It's just a very mild tasting (not just spice, in every way) sauce for the wings. The wing itself was decent quality, though. Next time, will ask to try a few of their sauces first. Finally, our waiter was doing the best he could. While he is busting his behind, two managers are standing around and other wait staff were not busy. This is a management issue. Wow, help the guy out so the customer's experience is decent. They need to either retrain or fire the managers. If a manager can't actually help out, or direct somebody to help out, or even recognize there's a problem, they need to be replaced. What this place needs to realize is the history of restaurants in Frisco. They need to fire on all cylinders and will make a mint. If they can only do half the things right (you're lacking on food or service or drinks), you're not going to last long. We flock to restaurants at the beginning and if the restaurant can't get up to snuff, it just vanishes. 100 more of them in a 2 mile radius. Better step up your game, folks. read more

This place just opened a few days ago but you really can't tell! The service was great and the inside is gorgeous. Lots of space here!! The menu has pizza and wings with some salads too! We went for lunch and loved that pricing. They showed me a kids menu for when we bring back our kiddos with options I'm sure mine will love. The chicken quality is top notch... and they are known for their fresh never frozen buffalo wings. We will be back to try more flavors. read more

Stopped into the new Anchor Bar in Frisco, and let me tell you -- the Beef on Weck is the reason to go. Tender, flavorful, and exactly the kind of sandwich you want from a place with Buffalo roots. It's worth the visit all on its own. The restaurant is still very new, and like any fresh opening, it could use a little TLC and fine‑tuning. Nothing worth calling out negatively -- just the usual growing pains you expect early on. I'm planning to head back in a couple of months to see how things have smoothed out, and I'm optimistic they'll settle into their stride. If you're curious about the Beef on Weck, go give it a try. That sandwich alone makes the trip worthwhile. read more

Buffalo,Ny born and raised approval. I've been really excited about the opening in Frisco and had high expectations. Food:Understanding this was day 4 since they've open and kitchen is still getting their sea legs. Wings were outstanding in size, Buffalo esque and had some good flavor( could be thicker on the tossed sauce), pizza logs were A+++( dare say the best I've had) , Beef on Weck was Grand Slam and I wouldn't change a thing Restaurant: Beautiful layout, plenty of space and table and even have a nice lounge and bar while you're waiting for your tables. There are ridiculously appropriate amount of TVs and is a sports fans dream. Our server Andrew was the tip of the sword! Young kid but able to talk, joke with his table while working efficiently and being knowledgeable with the menu, even with them just opening! Will be requesting him by name in the future. Don't let him go! Keep it up!! read more

Anchor Bar Frisco - Original Buffalo all Drums - Sports Bars Near Me - Frisco, Texas

Let me preface this by saying I visited Anchor Bar only a few days after they opened and I totally understand that they might still be figuring something things out. Stopped in for lunch on a Friday afternoon and there were a good amount of people. Was quite disappointed when the Anchor Bar Dip came very clearly broken. It was extremely oily and borderline inedible. The chips were also coated in oil. I ordered the "hotter" wings and was also quite disappointed in the heat level with these being their second hottest flavor. I've visited a few other Anchor Bar locations and always had a positive experience so I was quite disappointed with how this went. I will give this place the benefit of the doubt and certainly return once they figure things out. read more

The Anchor Bar appears to be poorly managed, and I wouldn't recommend visiting until that changes. We visited The Anchor Bar for the first time on a Wednesday evening, excited to finally try their "world famous" wings. We arrived at 7:47 PM and were quoted a 40-minute wait using their text-based waitlist system. I'll note that the hostesses were very friendly, and while waiting we grabbed drinks at the bar -- the bartenders were great and the drinks were excellent. Our table was ready in about 30 minutes, which was faster than expected. However, it was confusing because roughly half the tables were empty and clean, and there were 5-7 servers standing around, so this didn't appear to be a staffing issue. Once seated, the frustration began. We waited over 10 minutes without being greeted. My wife went to the hostess stand to ask if we had a server. The hostesses apologized, and a manager who was nearby said he would find our waitress. Another 10 minutes passed with no one coming to our table. I then spoke to another manager and explained that we had been waiting 20 minutes without service. He also apologized and said someone would be right over. After another 5 minutes with still no server, we decided to leave. The entire experience was unacceptable. With multiple managers present and several servers seemingly available, it was disappointing that no one could even take a drink order. This restaurant won't be successful until the management team gets their act together. It's very unfortunate -- I still would like to try their wings someday, but not after this experience. read more

When I mentioned Anchor Bar being new in Frisco, my husband was excited to try it since he ate once at the original Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY several years ago, and we are always on the lookout for a great chicken wing place. Sadly, Anchor Bar failed to want us to go back. We came during the last half hour of Happy Hour so each ordered one domestic draft beer and one of the appetizers that were on happy hour special. Here is where one major issue occurred after I received my tab. When the happy hour menu says ALL domestic beers $2 off during happy hour and our beers are brewed in the U.S., that is domestic beer. When I questioned the happy hour price not being reflected, I was told domestic means just Budweiser, Coors, Miller. So craft beers brewed right here in Texas are not domestic. Many other places we go to clearly distinguish which beers exactly are included in special pricing if not all beers or at least ALL domestic beers are included. The second issue that sealed the decision to never return was our food. We ordered the 20 piece chicken wings to split between us two. The menu says celery and either blue cheese or ranch dressing are included in the 20 piece chicken wing order. The waitress even mentioned the celery when she asked us what dressing we wanted. The celery did not make it on our plate. We decided not to say anything about this because not a deal breaker. But what broke the deal was that the blue cheese dressing is kind of pinkish and has other seasoning in it, so absolutely did not taste like blue cheese. And we got charged $1.18 for the dressing on top of the menu listed price of the 20 piece wings. I did not notice this extra charge until we got home because I was more focused on the $2 not being taken off each beer, and when I got told no on that question, I just wanted to pay and leave. The wings themselves were okay. Good amount of meat and sauce but were gummy and sauces in the medium category for heat were not especially spicy. Maybe being a northern based restaurant they are not aware of Texas spicy hot vs northern spicy hot. Finally, I find it interesting that three other Yelp reviews mentioned the sewer smell in the bathrooms. All other restaurants that have been in this location have had this issue, so clearly whoever is responsible should find a resolution because not a great impression for a restaurant. read more

The food was not good. We had a mix of different items. Anything that was fried tasted like burnt over used oil. The "house made" Mac and cheese was from a freezer. The ranch tasted like it was from a bottle. I was really hoping to have a nice dinner. The price at $100 for 2 of us should have been better food. We won't be returning. read more

First time and last time to the Anchor Bar Frisco. Ordered a white pizza that was not cooked, cheese not melted and raw onions. The wings were good, but the Ranch was from a cheap bottle.

The other review is ridiculous. They just had their soft open on Monday and they're expecting no issues on the 3rd day. Went for lunch on a Thursday of opening week. Plenty of servers and it was less than half full. Seated immediately and the server was prompt and friendly. The wings are just like the original location in Buffalo (I've been there). Big, crispy and delicious. Truly the original. Tots were perfectly cooked also - crispy and not greasy at all. A+ for their 4th day. I had a Bills shirt on and one of the visiting managers from the Buffalo location noticed and stopped by. Just an excellent atmosphere. If I had to complain about anything, I would say put more sauce on the wings. But I know they'll figure it out. Oh and please more Buffalo sports items on the walls!! Go Bills! This is a jewel in Frisco. I'm so happy Anchor Bar is so close to home. I'll be a regular for sure. Don't miss out. Go before the grand opening and there is a really long wait. read more

We gave this place 3 tries. First time, we understood the wait times. It was new, busy and of course learning curves. The second time, there was absolutely no reason to have to wait over 20 mins to be spoken to after being seated. The third time was the last time. We were seated and watched as several servers approached tables that had already finished their meals but completely ignored us. We sat for 20 mins without anyone even acknowledging that we were there. We saw one of the people, who claimed to be the manager, look directly at us 4 times do nothing about it. Of all customers are treated this way it no wonder why they were not busy the second and third time we gave them redemption chances. It's sad because my husband was excited about their alcohol selection. read more
