Anchor Bar

Easily Buffalo's most famous restaurant, and maybe the only true "tourist trap" in town. Whether the Anchor Bar is recommendable for you depends on why you've come: if you're a hardcore wing fan who wants to make a pilgrimage to the place where it all began and maybe pick up some chicken wing-themed merch too, you'll leave happy. But if you care about a quality dining experience, look elsewhere: service is utterly indifferent and almost blatantly designed to turn over tables as fast as possible, and the food quality and prices are about what you'd expect from a place that serves mostly tourists with few repeat visitors. Besides wings, offerings include salads, sandwiches (including that other local innovation, beef on weck), and homestyle Italian specialties.
