Reviews for Anchor Bar in Niagara Falls, NY
We tried this location after trying the original restaurant to compare lol. This location is attached to the holiday inn scenic... falls hotel in Niagara Falls. We stopped in for lunch but it seems the front desk was run a bit chaotic. We had about a 5 minute wait to be seated; despite the place being empty. Once seated we ordered wings (of course), the American burger and mozzarellasticks. The wings tasted very similar to the original location in Buffalo, NY; delicious and worth it. The burger was tasty andfilling. My husband enjoyed the mozzarella sticks. This location is about $1-3 more than the original locations prices (I’massuming because it is in a tourist area), it is family friendly and there is an arcade inside. Read more
Ate at this restaurant for the first time last night and it will definitely be the last. We had to wait for almost 45 mknites... (which we were expecting) before getting seated. The issues all came after we got seated. The waitress was flighty from thebeginning. We waited a LONG time to have our order taken, a LONG time for our food to come, a LONG time to ask for refills, along time to ask for our check, and an even LONGER time to have our cards returned. When our food finally arrived (way afterother people who sat down after us),Our sides were not correct on 2 meals. We were missing sauces and were given the wrongthings on 2 other orders. I ordered the chicken tenders with coleslaw. The coleslaw was so spicy that I couldn't eat it. Thetenders were way over cooked and looked very unappealing. My mom ordered a cheeseburger and fries. Her fries were wayundercooked and her burger had almost no flavor. In addition? She ordered the 5 additional wings. The waitress first forgot thesauce, then brought the wrong sauce. There were things wrong with my aunt and uncle's meals as well. Ther server made us feellike an inconvenience. Never asked for refills and at $5 a glass, that is crazy! Make it easy on yourself and pick a differentrestaurant. Read more
For a place with the "original" chicken wing, I admit I was a bit discouraged. Surprised at how we were treated as a customer.... We were the waitresses last party of the day, she made that known right away. We all ordered. It took 20 minutes to get drinksto the table. We actually had our appetizer before we got our drinks (sodas, nothing from the bar)! It took another 45 minutesto get our orders. We got a variety of wings, burger and a salad. The salad had field greens mentioned in the description andthere was no actual leaf of lettuce or spinach. It had only arugula and some purple veg (sorry, I do not know the name of thisgreen) that was as bitter as the arugula. The wings were just okay. The sauce had no pop. The dipping sauce was prepackaged inlittle containers with the foil peel off lids, not store made as most wing places do. We did have a certain expectation when yougo to the original store. This was a disappointment. Having a server that seemed to be upset because she was sat another tableand she seemed put off to serving us. No refills on drinks were offered till we asked for them. The other food was tasty, thebread to the meatball sub was very soggy, the tenders were okay, juicy, but not anything I would not get at a fast food place.We always tip over 18%. We did not here because, at the waitresses descretion she put on the large party tip (table of 8) and wedid not add any tip as we normally would have due to the lack of service, not the food. Will probably not return. Read more
The wings were fine. I know they don't claim to be the best, only the original, so I'm a bit torn on how to review. Let's just... say I had other wings that were better while in Buffalo. The service was a bit slow, but she apologized many times and thankedus for being patient. They were busy and I'm assuming they were under-staffed. Read more
Buffalo Wings. If you are in the Niagara Falls area then enter this restaurant. One of the busiest places in the Niagara Falls... area for those who want to eat local style wings. The dishes are very large, the service is courteous but very very slow (wewaited 30 minutes until the dish arrived). The price is most reasonable for the dishes served.???????? Read more
I wanted to go the original Anchor Bar, but we were too wiped out from hanging out at the Falls. The wings were very good, but... nothing I haven't had at many other places, but very work ordering. We also ordered a pizza that was very good...super filling.I'd go back. Great beer. Read more
Not a fan of Buffalo sauce so got 10 Garlic Parmesan and 10 Lemon Pepper Wings. The quality of the Wings are great. Damian... behind the Bar is the real reason I'm giving 5 stars. He held down the Bar for the time I was there and did a remarkablejob....would recommend Read more
Definitely lives up to its hype of serving the best chicken wings.The best thing about this place is they give all the flavors... on the side.I loved the traditional and garlic parmesan flavor.The extreme hot and sweet bbq were good too. The French frieswere really lip smacking.We ordered the Chicken wrap and definitely recommend it.Also do try their locally crafted beer. Read more
