Information from the business

Anchor Bar is the Original Home of the Buffalo

brought to you by

Citysearch

For a taste of history, Anchor Bar is the destination to find the original home of the buffalo wing. In 1964, when Teressa Belissimo served deep-fried chicken wings, covered in a secret sauce to her son's friends, the craving for buffalo wings was born and continues today.

In addition to the buffalo wings, they offer an extensive menu for lunch and dinner, drawing on Italian-American inspired... more

You've likely heard of Buffalo wings but few outside the city know that Frank and Teressa's Anchor Bar is where they originated in 1964 and where they still make some of the best. If wings aren't your thing, you can choose from made-to-order pub food. Minutes from the Buffalo Theater District , this casual, unpretentious bar features live jazz Friday and Saturday evenings. The walls are... more

Okay, it's kinda cool to eat chicken wings in the restaurant where they were accidentally discovered in 1964, but the wings are nothing exceptional -- after all, there's not much you can do with chicken wings but deep fry 'em and serve 'em with hot sauce, blue cheese, and celery -- and there are certainly nicer places to eat them than in this divey bar. Come only if you want to pay tribute to... more

Great wings - very small

I know this is the original. And my Italian heritage won' t let me say anything negative about the birthplace of the best culinary contribution from upstate NY but... The wings are crisp and excellent but ridiculously small. I actually was able to try Duff's out the same night because they were so small. You have to make the trip to pay homage to the birthplace of wingdom.

My family loves to eat at the Anchor Bar, which consistently provides great service, especially for children. The wings are awesome--I always bring out-of-town friends here and they are always impressed! It's always busy when we eat here, whether for lunch or dinner. I find the servers to be very attentive and the wings (I like my crispy, extra hot), are very good.
