Home of the Original Buffalo Chicken Wing is Anchor Bar in Williamsville located at 6635 Transit Road less than 2 miles from the Buffalo Airport and just off the thruway exit 49. A family friendly sports bar serving wings, pizza, burgers and more! We welcome sports teams, happy hours, business meetings for lunches and dinners.
Anchor Bar’s story began in 1964 in Buffalo, New York, when Teressa Bellissimo accidentally created the first Buffalo Chicken Wing by deep frying the chicken wings and tossing them in a secret sauce. Since then, Anchor Bar has become a globally recognized sensation, earning the James Beard Foundation’s America’s Classics Award in 2003.
Known for chicken wings, this casual tavern also serves other pub fare, such as pizzas & sandwiches.

This location is really close to the airport and is situated in a much better place the original. It is easy access with a nice parking lot. The food is awesome and it makes sense why people love it. The staff here is great and it seems each person knows more about wings and wing history than the next. I noticed every question answered from every tourist and I personally ordered the local favorites. I strongly suggest it and hope to get back to one soon.

Beef on wreck, excellent. Enough tater tots to build something. Wing’s always good. Chicken was dry. Two out of three, not bad. Service was excellent. Plenty of seating.

Our company hosted a small event in this restaurant, where they have a separate room for about 25 people. The staff was really accommodating to provide us with what we asked for. They really helped setting up the tables. The food and the service were amazing. The place is conveniently located if you need to host someone coming from the east as it is right off of the highway.

Iconic Buffalo wing joint. My daughters had never been, so we stopped after a UB volleyball match. No complaints.

We pulled in here after flying in from the west coast. The bartender told us that the kitchen was closed, but they were nice enough to serve us anyway. We had wings and beef weck, both excellent. They had a few local beers that were tasty. Great, friendly service.

I’m visiting from California and absolutely loved Anchor Bar. This really is the spot for the best Buffalo wings and the best blue cheese I’ve ever had. It was my first time here and my mom’s last visit to her hometown of Buffalo, so picking this place ended up being perfect.
Andrea was wonderful she got our order in right away since we were rushing to the airport. The manager, Russ, was incredibly friendly and gave us great conversation. The whole place is clean, welcoming, and has great vibes.
If you’re looking for a delicious bite just five minutes from the airport, this is the place. You won’t be disappointed. This was the perfect ending to a beautiful trip.

I was part of a motor coach group (35 people). We were on our way to the airport and needed lunch. The restaurant was not expecting us, but they welcomed us with smiles. The manager, the server/bartender, and cook were extraordinary! The manager and server/bartender took our orders in a timely manner. The cook prepared the orders quickly (35 meals!), and the food was delicious! Our bills were done in a timely manner, and they were done correctly. Our entire group was amazed at this team of three. They were nothing short of amazing.

Great service, and a nice variety of menu items. Went to Anchor Bar specifically for wings, since it has historical significance to our favorite game-day goodie. Three of us, each ordered a different flavor and shared with each other- it was a tough decision based on the descriptions! They were all tasty, but I was a little disappointed that the “spicy garlic parm” tasted more like straight Frank’s Red Hot than anything garlic or parm. I would eat here again- maybe not for wings. Other foods we saw served to those around us looked wonderful!
