Anchor Bar - Original Main St

Astonishingly disappointing for the original home of the classic Buffalo wing

Final Overall Score: 3.0 

Restaurant: 3.0 

• The Anchor Bar restaurant itself gets marks off because the manager at the host stand took a call in the middle of greeting us, the first table we were sat at was dangerously wobbly, and the wings were brought out 5-10 minutes later than our other food. Overall, not a good wing experience nor dining experience. Will not be going out of our way to return.

Taste: 3.0 

• In a word, the wings were disappointing. While they were brought out piping hot and looked great, there was only a hint of initial crispiness when biting into these wings.

Sauce: 3.0 

• The sauce lacked personality and creaminess. It tasted acidic with little actual flavor and was a tad hot for being medium.

Crispiness: 1.0 

• The texture was almost completely soft and gummy. The meat was stringy and clung to the bone for dear life.

Size & Quality: 5.0 

• Very large and uniformly sized wings; however, more of a bad thing does not make a good thing.
