    chix parm, fried shrimp, beef on weck and some lemon pepper wings.

    Good - atmosphere is good. space is big, open and lots of tvs. Food overall, good. Really good - fried shrimp, bone-in wings, battered fries. Good - chicken parm. sauce could use something for more zing. Ok - beef on weck sandwich. I'd say good only if you coat it with horseradish and use a lot of the au jus. And add more beef. Understaffed by at least one server on a Friday for lunch, so plan on that.

    Strawberry Pecan Salad

    Our first visit here we weren't overly impressed, but we went back today for International Chicken Wing Day. They had some specials with $.50 wings. They have redeemed themselves in our eyes and get 5 stars for this visit. We got 20 wings with three sauces. They let us do 10 garlic parmesan, 5 mild, and 5 honey bbq. We also got a container of blue cheese and one of ranch for dipping. The wings were hot, meaty, and cooked just right with lots of sauce. The mild ones didn't have as much flavor, but they were still cooked well. We also got a side salad and some onion rings. Not sure the salad was worth the cost, but the onion rings were plentiful. We sat in the bar area this time and our server was present and attentive. Again, lots of tv's for sports watching and high top tables, regular tables, and the bar area to sit in. We hope future visits are as good as this one! Good job!

    Wings combo with 10 medium sauced wings and tots

    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.

    Pina colada sunset

    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 .

    BBQ and Mild Wings
    Anthony N.

    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.

    Buffalo Ranch dry rub
    Valerie S.

    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!!

    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

    Some of the TV's.

    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.

    Bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers

    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.

    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.

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

    Came here on a Friday night for karaoke! It was sooo much fun. The vibes are divey and laid back…read more Our waitress was okay. She misspoke about the drink specials which I thought was annoying and surprising. The DJ for Karaoke was Rich. Awesome guy who definitely kept the party going. I had a blast and would absolutely come back!!!!

    I used to frequent Famous Sam's locations years ago. I recently moved back to the area after being…read moregone 18+ years. I was a little concerned about the reviews for all the locations. I chose this one on Golf Links to visit. First, I arrived about 1 pm on a Saturday. The place was fairly busy. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. My server, Pat S came over quickly and took my drink order. She returned quickly with my drinks and I gave her my order with specific instructions. Pastrami sandwich, no mustard, provolone instead of Swiss, a side of mayo, fries and a side salad with no onions and Thousand Island dressing. Boom! Salad out first, perfect! SCORE!!! The pastrami sandwich had a decent amount of meat on it (not as much as years ago, but that's the way things are now). Pat checked on me a few times, refilled drinks when needed. I have zero complaints and don't understand the low reviews. Being a sports bar, it wasn't overly noisy. TVs everywhere. Tables and dining area very clean. Restrooms were also clean and all products available. I will return when I am in the area again. Thanks, Famous Sam's. You did not disappoint.
