Brunch!!! Yayayayay
Kayla I.

Pretty obsessed with wings right now. We've been making the rounds since Pluckers is an out for us now without hallelujah. My girls are begging for anchor wings nightly, the 9yo loves their retrial and the 7yo loves the jerk, I personally love the honey siracha and babe alert ranch. Now the honey siracha, it's listed as like the one of the hottest, no sir it's barely spicy at all, I still love it but just saying. Wait staff is always awesome, friendly and super helpful. Only complaint is we saw they have .99c wings on Tuesdays, it says limit 10, which was perfect for the girls and I since we can't eat more than 6. The waiter said it's a misprint and supposed to say 10 minimum. That was frustrating and sad because we would go every Tuesday if we could order less, 10 is way too much for all 3 of us and all 3 like different flavors so sharing won't work either. Love the hand cleaning station, although it looks like it could use a cleaning itself lol. But 5 stars because yesssss, the food and the service are so good. Wait one more complaint, sorry! The skillet cookie, way too expensive for what you get AND the skillet is tiny it's impossible to eat without getting burned. Knowing it was bringing hot and being careful all 3 of us still left with burns.

This place can do no wrong for me! Maybe...that they can be busy on NFL Sundays, like really busy!! But oh my word, I love their pizza! The crispy peps . Their ranch is equally impressive! I love their draft selections, which is rare in Austin being a wheat beer connoisseur! My husband gets their wings, as he's not as much of a pizza junkie, as me! He gives them a thumbs up - he's just never craving wings! And less so pizza! I always sit in the bar area, as I prefer all the many TVs they have, but they have a normal dining area, as well. It's definitely casual! And expect it to be busy on gamedays, especially Bills games, as that's where they were founded. For a football/pizza/wing fan, you won't be disappointed!!

Buffalo chicken nachos with no olives ($15.99)

Anchor Bar is great family friendly sports bar with tasty wings, burgers, and pizza, great service, and plenty of TVs! FAST FACTS: * Parking - decent size lot around the restaurant with plenty of spots * Reservations - no * Online ordering - available on their website for pickup or through Doordash for delivery * Happy hour - Monday through Friday from 3:00 - 6:00 pm with $$8 appetizers and $2 off the drink of the month * Tuesdays - free trivia with prizes (7:00 - 9:00 pm) * Gluten free and plant-based options * Rewards program available * Dog friendly SERVICE - We arrived at 7:45 pm on a Saturday during the Final Four and got seated right away. Our server Ava took great care of us from start to finish! She was very personable, constantly refilled our drinks, and food came out quickly. PRICING - The total was $78.43 after tax ($5.98) but before tip for a soft drink ($3.49), buffalo chicken nachos ($15.99), small supreme pizza ($18.99), chicken tenders ($16.99), added 5 wings ($7.99), and peanut butter skillet cookie ($9). I think the pricing is reasonable for the portion size. BUFFALO CHICKEN NACHOS (8/10) - Huge portion size for the price! You get to choose the wing sauce... I got the buffalo hot and didn't find it spicy at all. The toppings are loaded on the chips in layers so you don't have any bare chips at the bottom which is ideal. I'd order these again. SUPREME PIZZA (8/10) - This was pretty good pizza for a sports bar focused on wings and the "small" is pretty big! The dough is between a thick and thin curst and has a great chew! The dough in the middle of the pizza got a little soggy. The tomato sauce is very thin and on the more acidic and sweet side. There was plenty of mozzarella cheese and toppings throughout! The pepperoni is the highlight... the charred edges are so crispy and the flavor was delicious! I'd order this again. CHICKEN TENDERS (8/10) - These were MASSIVE and include a regular side of choice... the tater tots were nice and crispy! You can choose between crispy or grilled, can toss them in your choice of sauce or rub, and get a side of ranch, blue cheese, or extreme ranch. The honey bourbon BBQ sauce was sweet and tangy. I'd order these again. EXTRA WINGS (8/10) - You can add 5 bone in or boneless wings to any adult entree (excluding wings) for $7.99 with a sauce or dry rub of your choice, some celery sticks, and a side of ranch, blue cheese, or extreme ranch. It's a great option if you want some wings but don't want them to be your full meal. The garlic ranch dry rub had great flavor! I'd order these again. PEANUT BUTTER SKILLET COOKIE (8/10) - It's served super hot in a skillet with vanilla ice cream on top... perfect end cap! There are pieces of peanut throughout the cookie and the edges are crispy while the middle is much softer. I'd order this again but would love to try the other flavors too. Anchor Bar will be my go-to sports bar moving forward... you get big portion sizes for affordable prices, dependable service, and an extensive menu to choose from. I'd recommend Anchor Bar to others looking for a sports bar in the Round Rock area!

Doggo...ready for action!

We loaded up or big goofy canine to give this place a try. Nothing went terribly wrong, but nothing was quite right either. Now, I'm sure it's great to have an air conditioned space for us dog people in the summer months, but it's a small space with bad acoustics that ultimately made our furbaby fairly anxious. Frankly, the food wasn't worth the wait and that hurt my heart a little since I spent a great deal of my formative years roaming around upstate NY eating wings modeled after the original Anchor Bar's offerings in Buffalo.

Best indoor dog patio! So great to have an indoor dog patio to keep my dog cool! The pizza is SO good! The pizza crust is so delicious and plenty of pepperoni. They have a great dog menu and staff is excellent. Great service especially to my dog. Love it here.

Lemon pepper buffalo wings
Brooke D.

Anchor bar has the best bar food! I very rarely crave American food so when I do this is a go to spot. We shared the sampler platter which had pizza egg rolls, mozzarella sticks, mac and cheese bites, and fried pickles. Everything on it was super good!! My boyfriend got the fried chicken breakfast sandwich and added on 5 lemon pepper buffalo wings (which I tried) and it was very good. My Philly cheesesteak and fries were also so yummy. Only critique is that the fries and tater tots were not salty but that wasn't a big deal for us. Overall, highly recommend!!

If you are a Bills fan, go here and watch the game. Sadly, wings are middle of the road. Juicy and plump, yes. But, that's where any flavor ends. Also, $18 for 10 wings is aggressive. So many more options around town. Tried the Extra Hot (zero heat) and Habanero Ranch (zero heat) gave up and asked for their hottest, which ended up medium heat at best. Again, Bills fans will have a riot at this spot, just avoid their wings. Super friendly ambiance, servers are on point!

Side of French Fries

I've been to plenty of wing bars, I am bias, I have a love for Pluckers and everything about it. The environment, the large amount of TVs, the culture, the beers on tap, and the wing flavors. I have to be brutal honest, Anchor Bar is good but potentially slightly better in terms of all aspects, fun sports environment, the selection of TVs, the culture, the beers on tap, but the wings are BETTER than Pluckers. Maybe it was my order but the wings were bigger, more plum n juicy. The wings weren't overly fried like Pluckers, it had the right amount of fry on it and wowww spicy parmesan wing sauce was amazing. Tangy, tart, spicy, garlic everything you want in a wing flavor. The dry parmesan wing sauce, it seemed the longer the wing sat, the better the flavor got. The parmesan dry rub is better than: Pluckers Buffalo Wild Wings Wings n rings Hurricane Wing Bar down the street in Round Rock Cover 2-3-4-5-6-10 all of them Hands down the best parmesan sauce. Tots n fries were crispy and soft inside. The crispy fried pickles were good but not that great, it seems a little under cooked since inside was a little mushy and the pickle wasn't thick enough. The pretzel bites hands down sucked, I asked our amazing server to replace them, they still came out after the 2nd time, dull. The bites were hot on the outside but cold inside. The bite tasted too dense, not airy or fluffy inside, it tasted like thick clay like sand. Just dry. Overall the food was great but the apps need a bit of work.

The Anchor Bar is nice. The wings are good and the pizza is not to my liking. I'm not into sweet sauce on my pizza, but each their own.

Plenty of outdoor tvs and you can hear the sports on the tv so much appreciated to get a good drink and watch sports. The venue is clean, large open spaces, big drink menu so any beer and cocktail they got it. For me the location, how clean the inside and outside was, the fun factor is a solid 10/10. Great overall atmosphere. I will say the let down is some of the food items, it needs help. I only took pictures of the fish n chips meal but I ordered fried pickles, had a few wings, chips and dip, and egg rolls. The egg rolls are nice and crunchy, it had a corn and bean interior, nice warm with the extra crispy exterior. Good ranch dipping sauce. The wings are also good, crispy exterior nice fluffy chicken interior, it's not the best wings I've had but also not the worst. The flavor menu is a little short so you're not going to get a ton to choose from. The chips and salsa, the queso is amazing. Nice creamy, thick, cheese flavor, the salsa is nice and semi chunky. Both hold on to chips but the chips we got were ultra stale. I mean rock hard. We asked for new chips and luckily the new chips were fresh. The let down had to be the fish and chips. The batter was too thick, the batter also was still raw. The cod is nice and semi thick, still cooked all the way but since the batter was soo thick, it didn't have that crisp factor the crunchy flavor was gone, it didn't have the crispy exterior. In the pictures you'll see how thick it was. The waffle fries were ok, not the best not the worst just in the middle, still crispy but it was semi cold when we got them.

A decent joint. It's…read morea bar pure and simple - with no food service. You are in Round Rock. People are allowed to smoke up here and people do. The bar features special shots (buttery nipples and the like) - the choice of which varies by day of the week. The bar selection has very few yuppie beers, a bunch of decent bottles of everyday whiskey and a huge selection of utility flavored vodkas. I drank Jameson's but I could see running through the flavored vodkas. Drink sizes are generous - and you get served in glass, not plastic. The night I was there, there was a fine DJ, playing old school hiphop - videos included - broken up with the occasional hair band. Superior listening. It was good to see Snoop Dogg back in action - along with his many female dancing friends. Plenty of TV screens and decent sports to watch. The best part of Big Shotz is the crowd. It is a youngish crowd running between 25 and 30. It is extremely diverse. I would say the room was half black, half white. (Whiter near the pool tables, blacker near the bar). Everyone was getting along. There was a lot of mixing and general all purpose glad handing. Many of the regulars knew each other. But the place is not cliqueish. I am much older than the typical patron - and was there on a first visit. And people were still introducing themselves to me and including me in conversations. I am not used to that and I was kind of impressed. Good booze, good music, good tv, nice people. There is a lot to like here. **** P.S. One of the "not recommended reviews" by Eager E. actually has intelligent things to say. The review implies that this is a hangout for off duty Round Rock and Williamson county police people. That would make sense. It would fit the age group. It would fit the diversity. it would fit the fact that many of the patrons seemed to know each other. It would fit the fact that most of the people I saw looked physically fit. My takeaway from this? Cops make good drinking buddies. And there were zero riff-raff and zero discipline problems. Let's hear it for our fine men and women in blue!

This bar is a bit on the small side, that said, the crowd is usually fun and doesn't get (too)…read moreunruly. I go on Friday night for Karaoke. The KJ is a lot of fun and knows what she's doing!
