Only negative thing for me is the lack of fans or some cooling system on the patio. In Tucson , with the temp today of 102, we had to go elsewhere. read more

Great food and the portions had me hype!. Definitely a great spot to grab a drink and meal and have fun in a cool environment !! Great service by Amber! read more

Anchor Bar Tucson - Chicken Wings Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This bar/restaurant stems from The original Anchor Restaurant in Buffalo. It's a typical pub style with some interesting paraphernalia on the wall such as signed photos. The service was great. I was with five friends and we shared an order of wings which was pretty yummy. A few of us had the beef on weck which they raved about. Two of us shared the huge pizza which they said was delicious and had ordered it before. I had the spinach salad which was much better than anticipated. I asked for a raspberry vinaigrette and the salad included a few large pieces chicken (I indulged with the crispy rather than the grilled chicken!) delish and filling! read more

We happened to be on the east side of Tucson and decided to try the Anchor Bar. I would highly recommend this place for the Beef on Wick and the wings. My only issue was the table across from us had the onion rings that looked awesome! Oh well, I guess we have to go back...:)) read more

I got to check this place out recently with some friends for lunch on a weekend mid afternoon. We sat on the dining side that has booths and tables but I did hear there's a bar section with TV's and such as well as an enclosed patio outside. Service was good, and i enjoyed the sunset colada she recommended. We ordered the house special large cup n' char pepperoni pizza and boneless wings , one guy got a salad. Everything was good overall, plenty for 3-4 people to share. I would definitely go back to explore the menu more and maybe the bar section. Solid addition to the east side . read more

The service was quick and friendly. It was a bit cold from the weather outside even in main restaurant. I got the wings combo 10 wings and tater tots. I got a medium sauce, not too hot. I would probably move up on the heat scale. I tried the wings my mom ordered with the lemon pepper dry rub. Good, it got too salty quickly. read more

Anchor Bar Tucson - Wings combo with 10 medium sauced wings and tots - Chicken Wings Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I've been looking forward to Anchor Bar since it was announced to be opening in Tucson. It's been a long while since I've been to Anchor Bar; my first visit was to the original in Buffalo, New York. I've been eating wings and beef on weck for decades and I was interested to see how well these non-Buffalo locations fared. I was not disappointed at all. I had wings and weck. The beef on weck was well done. The roll was salted a little differently than I am used to, but that may be because I also enjoy beef on weck from another chain in the Buffalo area. The wings were cooked to perfection and there's a great choice of sauces and dry rubs. Something for everyone. They've really done a great job remodeling the space from the previous restaurant and I really liked the vibe of the entire restaurant. The service was attentive and there seemed to be plenty of staff doing their thing. The food was a little slower than expected at coming to the table, but nothing earth shattering and still within bounds. I'm looking forward to going back and I'm happy Anchor Bar has made its way to Tucson. read more

I picked up some wings to take home and try as I needed to try the folks who created the Buffalo wing now Ty's they were in Tucson. I used their app to order and took them home with me. The staff help me out quickly. The wings were a great size and had a great crunch. The sauces missed the mark a bit for me. The bbq was very sweet and the mild had little heat, and as someone who does not really do anything to spicy I was surprised. read more

I have been wanting to try this since it opened and finally had the opportunity to go. When you first enter you will immediately see dozens, I mean dozens of large TV's on almost every wall in the restaurant and on the large outdoor patio area. If you're looking for a sports bar, this is the place. The walls are also filled with the history behind the anchor bar, including the story behind the original owners inventing the buffalo wing. The service was top notch from when we entered till we left. Super friendly staff. After being seated our server grabbed our drink order and had our drinks out within a minute and got our appetizer order in. We went with the bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers which you really don't see very often on many menus. The poppers came out and I was impressed with the visual presentation. They came out with ranch and a honey sauce, which was unbelievable. The flavor hit just right there was just enough heat, but not too much. A solid go to for sure. We ordered the wing combo with fries and went with the buffalo medium original sauce. Again, when the plate was delivered to our table, the presentation was spot on. The wings were extremely crispy, but the chicken still retained its juice. The flavor was definitely good, but I would recommend going with a higher heat level as I would call these more of a mild heat in my opinion. The fries were crispy, but yet had a soft potato center. All in all the first experience, there was really good and I am definitely looking forward to returning and trying some of the hotter sauces and some of the other things on their menu. read more

We were very excited to try this new wing bar that opened because it's a Buffalo, NY staple in the AZ! Anyone who knows wings knows they're OG from Buffalo! The service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant is wonderfully designed with sports lovers in mind! Big screen TVs from every seat! There's even a large covered outdoor patio with plenty of seating & big screens adorning every spot! We ordered one appetizer and it was good, but not great. What was GREAT were their WINGS! I ordered their dry rub buffalo ranch and they came out crispy and juicy! The flavors run deep. We will be returning to watch the Buffalo Bills!! read more

Saw that they were open and heard some really good things about them so I wanted to come and try them out. So glad I stopped. The staff was very friendly and welcoming upon walking into the establishment. Our waiter was knowledgeable of the menu and made some great recommendations So we opted to try their pizza, their wings, as well as the shrimp and a salad. They offer a full service bar for which we ordered drinks. We got a mule and a piña colada. Both were amazing. The food came out quickly, hot and fresh. The wings were fried to perfection crunchy on the outside, but the meat was still nice and juicy and tender. With a variety of flavors to choose from whether you like wet wings or a dry rub For an appetizer, we got their cheese dip. It reminded me of a buffalo chicken dip because it did have pieces of chicken in it. The salad was nice and fresh. We also had french fries and onion rings in those two were delicious. Looking forward to coming back and hanging out with friends drinking and eating. Four stars because there's always room for improvement read more

Ok so decided to try this place out today for lunch. It's a fairly large place with plenty of seating and numerous TV's throughout the space. The restaurant was pretty empty, but the bar was almost full, and it's where I parked my carcass. The BT was pleasant and took my drink order relatively quickly, and I had my beer in just a few minutes. I went with the lunch special, which has several options, I chose the personal pizza and 5 wings combo. The food took about 20 minutes or so to come out, but it came out nice and hot. I added cup and char pepperoni to the pizza as well. The pizza though hot and fresh was just not very good. It was way too doughy, it was undercooked and that sauce is just way too sweet. The wings were hot, juicy, and the original sauce is quite good, my only complaint would be sauce distribution which was very erratic. Overall the place is nice, for sports lovers it's a game day haven. The lunch specials are very reasonable price wise as were the beers. It's worth a stop in for the wings, but I can't recommend that pizza. Next time I'll go well done with no sauce. read more

Sports bar extraordinaire! Great service, amazing wings and more TVs than I've ever seen in a single location. When we walked in the front door, the place looked mediocre with a smallish room of tables with diners enjoying some food but walk in and turn left to the next room and it's HUGE! Open seating in that room and I felt like we got lucky to find two seats at the bar since we were there during the AFC championship game. The place was packed. We were immediately greeted and placed drink orders. We tried the 20 wing plate and selected 3 flavors - 2 dry rubs: lemon pepper (my favorite) and Buffalo ranch (a little bland) as well as the sauced up original Buffalo. The wings are big, juicy and crispy. The lemon pepper is really the only wing I eat and I loved them. My guy said the original were some of the best wings he's had. We also had an order of jalapeno poppers. So many places serve breaded, deep-fried poppers that are not good in my opinion. These poppers are like what we make at home - fresh jalapenos filled with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon and grilled/roasted and so, so good! Anchor Bar is a great place to watch a game and enjoy some great wings....the pizza looked amazing too. Do yourself a favor and check them out! read more

This place was kind of a let down. It was hyped up by my Buffalo buddies, but didn't really hit the mark for me. The service was slow. We got there early on a Saturday (trying to beat the dinner rush) and the place was nearly empty. So how did it take a 1/2 hour to seat us? When we are seated, we order drinks and appetizers. The pretzel bites were good, although the honey mustard and cheese sauces slid right off their oily surfaces. The mozzarella sticks were $11 for five of them. I ordered them thinking they would have something spectacular to make them worth that much money. Nope! Five little fried mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce. Not sure what I was expecting for this price, but not this. Appetizers are gone, plates are cleared, orders are taken about 15 minutes later. Food took another 1/2 hour to come out, while many guests that arrived after us are getting their food before us. By this point the restaurant was getting packed though. I'm sorry, but the food was not great. Wings were fried to perfection, but lacking in any sauce coatings. They were basically crispy bland wings. The tots and fries didn't fair much better. The prices for the wings seemed fair, if they actually would have been good. The restaurant was clean, employees were kind, and the sports on the TV's were a welcomed addition to the long waits. These guys are probably still working out a lot of kinks, being so new and all. Maybe they need a second visit after they have been open for a while. For now, I'm definitely going to go elsewhere for wings. read more

Had pizza a few times, cooked well, fresh items and tasted good. I've had wings many times the mango/habanero are tasty and spicy . Shrimp & fries were tasty too. Staff is very pleasant and nice every time I've been there. read more

Service was mediocre at best, and the wings were trash. I've had water with more spice and flavor. These wings suck!

I too was a bit let down considering I have been to the one in Buffalo. My wife was amped up about the fact that one opened here in Tucson tgen found out they had 9 more opened in other states. Yes Doug is a nice guy but my eating experience was not so. My wife's wings were under cooked and sent back for recooking and mine were a bit dry, overcooked. For the price I expected better. Also, they could back off a bit on the BBQ sauce. My wings were swimming in it. I know there are going to be some growing pains and I will entertain going back, just not in a hurry! read more

Best garlic parm sauce and the mild wing sauce was really good. Still some growing pains with service and they got busy fast. read more

We decided to try the Anchor Bar because we had gone to the one in Austin, Texas a few times. This has recently opened and they are still working out the kinks. My hubby loves Mac & Cheese so he ordered it. It was not tasty at all, had kind of a weird texture and color. We told our server, Alex and he took it off the bill. The manager came by and asked us about the dish, so that he could rectify the recipe. I had the wings & shrimp combo with a side salad. I had wanted to try the wings and they were delicious with a bourbon BBQ sauce. The shrimp was battered as well and were pretty tasty. The salad was fresh. Our server tried very hard to please us and we appreciated his good service. The dining room and bar are very nice and appealing. There are TV's everywhere. They also have a patio area. Overall a decent experience and we will be back, we will just wait a couple of months for things to smooth out. read more

Game or no game the service is not good! Long wait to for waitstaff to acknowledge you, long wait for drinks to arrive to your table, long wait for food and don't wait to order any additional sides because they won't come! The queso is like Elmers glue, the pretzel bites are dried out and the buffalo chicken dip is VERY disappointing! The Beer, pizza and the wings are good, that's about all! read more

After seeing on the hype about this on social media. We figured we'd try it out and check out their food and service. The location was a little bit off, I think it's been like 4 other restaurants in the past couple years. Parking is horrible, as it shares parking with a grocery store. But let's get to the food. Had to try the wings, the cheesesteak and the appetizers. The wings im sorry are below par there are tons of better wings you can get in Tucson. The ranch I think was trying to be home made and it came out a watery mess. The cheesesteak was lack luster no flavor and they definitely need some WHIZ at this place. The fries were eh! I wish they were crispier, and the apps were small portions and boring. Not to mention the service was not good and the place wasn't even busy. It seems the focus is on the bar area, other than the restaurant, and it showed at least on our visit. Would I go back, I don't think so. In all honestly way over priced for what you get. I always give my personal opinion and not like others who give every place a good rating or review just because they don't want to ruffle any feathers. I'd prefer honesty from someone's point of view. All in all. I would skip this place, you'd have a better time at any other wing spot in Tucson. read more

Came in to watch a game on a busy Friday. Heather was my waitress and despite being slammed; greeted me with a smile and warm spirit. I have heard of this place from social media posts and found that this franchise comes from Buffalo, NY! To have that kind of atmosphere here in Tucson is a nice change to the other bars I have come accustomed to. Will be making this place a a regular weekly visit of mine. Thanks again Heather! read more

I decided to go with my family on a Thursday at 5:30. Ordered drinks as soon as we got there and food. Let's just say I never got my beer and never got the food so we ended up leaving at 7:00. The funny thing is they were bringing my beer out as I left. Unfortunately first time there was a bust. Maybe I'll try on a Wednesday lol the food looked great too, just wish I could've tried it :( read more

This was my first time at Anchor Bar with my sons. We were greeted and seated quickly, and found the space clean, roomy, and perfect for groups, with good views of sports on the TVs. Our waiter Aaron was prompt, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. The food portions were generous, tasty, and suited four adults. I recommend management recognize Aaron's outstanding customer service. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, and I look forward to returning. read more

​If you're coming here, do yourself a favor and request Yas as your server. I've dined at many places in the city, but the service provided by Yas was on a completely different level. From the moment we sat down, we felt like VIPs. ​ ​Yas has an incredible energy--professional, warm, and genuinely attentive without being overbearing. ​Perfect Timing: Our drinks were never empty, and the courses arrived at the perfect pace. We never felt rushed, yet we were never left waiting. ​It's rare to find someone who clearly takes such pride in their work. Yas turned a great meal into a memorable experience. We will definitely be back, and we'll be asking for Yas every single time! read more

What went well? Nothing-everything went Fantastic! They are super fast when it comes to food getting out to the table and the garlic parmesan sauce is fantastic with both the cauliflower bites and on their wings! I love their flavorful drinks as well. Service? Amazing! My order was taken with Karina and she delivered as if I was being served by an angel. As a matter of fact, I demand she be made manager and given a raise right now! read more

Service was outstanding, I think we went during the soft opening November 8th. Ordered the pizza logs and the Buffalo classic combo, a weck, five wings and side. OMG, the pizza logs were amazing, felt like I was back home and 10 again!! Being from Buffalo the weck was perfect, horseradish exactly what it should be with a side au jus. The wings were large, exactly what I would expect from a Buffalo wing establishment, however, we asked for extra crispy and they were so far from that. The wings were very soft and not crispy at all. I will go again in hopes of getting that perfect wing. read more

Decided to give this new establishment a try, knowing they would probably be busy on a Friday night. Greeted by a sign upon entering the restaurant (not sure which entry door was the entrance; changed from the old entrance for the previous BBQ restaurant), guests were asked to be "patient... since they just opened" - not a good sign... we gave our name and number in our party after a brief wait at the reception desk, and were told it was a 10 to 15 minute wait time, and we were sent an email with a link to see the progress on our phone for the wait update. We sat for over 35 minutes before the "one" party ahead of us was called for their table, then we were seat a couple of minutes later. We counted over 6 vacant tables in the dining room, plus more empty tables in the bar area and outside covered patio, with several tables still needing to be cleared. Management needs to be on top of what is happening, hire bussers to quickly clear and turn tables, and obviously get more servers on a busy night. After getting seated next to the party (basically at the same time) that was next to us in the waiting room entry, we waited another 15 minutes until the server approached us (she was busy taking the order from the people seated next to us, and trying to help the people who were already finishing their dinner). Although the server was friendly, personable, apologetic, and trying to accommodate all her customer, plus clear her own tables, she was overwhelmed. No need to have 3 receptionists at the front door, talking, wiping down menus, straightening out screwed up pick-up carryout orders (watched the customer stand at the counter for over 20 minutes while the order was corrected/missing items). Food is good, but overpriced, Side salad needs more lettuce (vegetables), and far less croutons. Minimum of 10 traditional wings too much for one person, especially when you can not have 2 flavors (anywhere else give diners the option to have/try 2 flavors). Also need to serve wings with celery slices AND carrot sticks. Fried haddock fish was just okay, parts of fillet had more breading than fish, skimpy with the tartar sauce - had to ask server for the side of tartar sauce that was missing (no malt vinegar available), and for the price the fish dinner should include a small side of Cole slaw or other option. Server did not know you had any non-alcoholic beer (your QR Code for beer menu did not work). Our order did come out of the kitchen fairly quickly after our long wait to get served. Last issue, the Men's washroom door (without any partition) allows for diners to see guests standing at the urinal whenever the door to the room opens... no an appetizing view! read more

I went for the first time with someone who has eaten at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY for many years. The wings were great, just as they are in NY! Unfortunately, the bleu cheese dressing that came with the wings had a weird taste. It was on the sweet side and we let our server know we didn't care for it. French fries were good and they had a great selection of beer! The atmosphere was nice and plenty of seating -even for a Friday night. The staff were all friendly and service was great! The bathroom was very clean. I will go back again for wings and if they fix the bleu cheese dressing, I will give them 5 stars! :) read more

Service was terrible and there was only a couple people in the restaurant and we ordered the jalapeño poppers and they were so tiny, and the presentation was terrible and it was $16!! We also ordered wings that were soggy. Not worth the money. read more

Being from Buffalo area, I had to try the Anchor Bar. I was pleasantly surprised that it was pretty good. I ordered the Wings and Weck combo with medium bone-in wings. The wings were more mild than medium. The Beef on Weck was pretty good. Meat was tasty and tender. The Kimmelweck roll was good, but it seemed to have regular salt on it and not kosher salt. The horseradish was good, though not hot. The French Frys were really good, especially with the beef Au jus poured on them. The pickle was really good also. My spouse got the chicken spinach salad and loved it. Chicken was moist and dressing was really good. We got an order of Pizza Logs to go. Haven't had them yet, but looked good. read more
