Anchor Bar Niagara Falls

The food was fantastic ( I had a swiss & mushroom burger and fries), and the portions were huge! I love that they fry their French fries in a separate fryer from everything else; I have Celiac disease and can't ingest gluten, so frying them in a separate fryer makes it safe for me to eat. (If they're fried in the same fryer as breaded foods, then gluten would be left behind and cross-contaminate my fries). Our server Crystal was very pleasant and super personable. Her service was awesome, and we never had to ask for refills or to clear our plates or extra napkins. It's like she read our minds if we needed anything. She'd be at our table with it before we had a chance to ask. She was great. I'm leaving 4 stars for atmosphere only because it was soooo cold in there. They had that AC cranked up! Other than that, everything was great, and we'll come back if we ever come back to Niagara Falls again!

Iconic, landmark place to eat while in Niagra Falls, NY. It was hyped up by friends before we traveled up to Niagra Falls, and it totally lived up to the hype. They claim to be the home of the original Buffalo wings (they have a location in Buffalo, NY). We visited on a Wednesday at late lunch (1pm), and there wasn't much of a crowd. The waitress immediately greeted us, explained the menu a little, and took our drink order. Drinks came out pretty quickly, and she took our food order then as well. I ordered the Anchor Bar Wings and Beef on Weck. Our food came out relatively quickly, 10 minutes or maybe a bit more. Oh. My. Goodness!! Absolutely amazing! The beef sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. All of it. The wings were super meaty. I got the hot pepper and bacon jam wing sauce. Oh lord! BACON on WINGS!! Food quality was outstanding. My wife has a gluten allergy and they do have gluten-free options as well as gluten-free buns for sandwiches. Prices were on par with similar restaurants. Overall the staff was great. No complaints at all. There is plenty of seating and the overall dining area, as well as restrooms, were clean, orderly, and very well maintained. Overall, it was a very good dining experience that lived every bit up to the hype from friends who recommended it. We will definitely visit again whenever we are in the area again.
