Service was great, staff was super helpful and friendly! They have a wide variety of wing sauces; we tried 4 different flavors... and they were all awesome. Tator toys were nice and crispy and fries had a good seasoned flavor. Great place to watch sports asthey literally have tvs everywhere you turn. Definitely recommend giving Anchor Bar a try!

Awesome wings from the original. Good service and cold beer to wash down the wings.
I don?t see this restaurant lasting very long. Waitress was nice but place has no atmosphere. Just tons and tons of tables. I... ordered 2 appetizers and the Brussels Sprouts were burnt. They didn?t charge me for them. Tchartedhe sweet potato fries wereokay , not great but not horrible, small portion size. I will only go back if someone else in my group wants to go butdefinitely not going to be on my list of places to go back to. Update: per owners comment about not enjoying the ?CrispyBrussel Sprouts? - per picture I just uploaded I?m not sure ?crispy? would be the correct adjective I would use to describe whatI was served. I think burnt, scorched, charred would be more in line to what was presented to me. Read more
FANTASTIC SERVICE! Friendly, welcoming service - that's what makes this place a must try. HUGE WINGS! Tasty variety of sauces... & rubs. Ordered Anchor Bar Dip, spicy garlic parmesan & golden jerk wings w/ steamed broccoli, Pecan chicken salad. Stop on in.. Read more
We?ve been to the Buffalo NY location and it didn?t disappoint. The SM TX location didn?t either. We were seated quickly. Our... waiter Joseph was very courteous, funny and treated us as family. The kitchen manager was awesome too. We were able to trysauces before getting them, beer was nice and cold, wings were just as expected! We will definitely be going back. Read more
Starting off with some speed bumps, we were seated quickly but had to ask for a server after a long wait; waited long enough to... put our drinks, apps and dinner order at once. Finally a waitress from another section took our table. From then on, service wasgreat and even tipped a deserving 20%. Food is good but definitely not worth the prices. They charge extra for separating twosauces on a 10 piece order that?s already $17, plus another charge for blue cheese (?$19). They forgot to sauce half the wings,so they just poured it on the plate. Got food dropped on me by a different waitress. No specials on Wednesday, which is againstthe unwritten wing laws of sports without forks, shame. In all seriousness, I rather keep it homegrown with Pluckers. Read more
I was excited to try the restaurant for its variety of menu items. We ended up getting an appetizer sampler and some Anchor... Bites that were on special. All of the food was crisp and tasty. The medium buffalo sauce and honey bbq were both nice. Thehoney BBQ actually a bit of a surprise, I guess it has a nice tang to it. They allowed us to use potato wedges for the loadfries portion of our sampler (I was craving wedges). The pizza logs weren't what I envisioned but they were warm and gooey toour liking. Their fried breading in the mozzarella and Mac balls is pretty hearty. Overall it was an enjoyable snack spread. Thestaff were all pleasant. Our only criticisms were the atmosphere - probably could have been a little darker and for some reasonthey push their chairs in at angle which created a very disorganized appearance. I don't think it had the intended effect. We'llprobably be back some time to try the burgers and pizza, and get some more boneless wings! Read more
Food was decent, but the service was not good. Our server was not really interested in serving our table, some of our food... (appetizers) was cold, meaning she didn?t time the service right. Both the host and our server were dressed in sloppy hoodiesweatshirts, very unprofessional. To top things off, the bathrooms were not properly stocked with supplies, toilet paper andhand towels, no excuse for that. Really was hoping for a better experience, but unless diners tell owners the truth about howthey feel about their experience, service standards will never improve. Read more
