Hello America, I thought I would ask you if you have had an experience with the Original Buffalo Wings from Buffalo, New York.

Anchor Bar

The place where it all happened - the Anchor Bar in downtown Buffalo, started out back in the 60's and today boasts as one of the most famous bars in America.

Are you familar with Buffalo Wings? The deep-fried savory sensation of fresh, hot wings, mixed with a special secret hot sauce served with Blue Cheese... - It all started in Buffalo, New York - many think that they were named after the animal, but back in 1964, an occurence changed the world and now the Buffalo Wing is America's Favorite Food! - Anchor Bar


Well, If you have gone to the Anchor Bar, or are familiar or not with the world renowned restaurant, please share your thoughts on wings or the famous restaurant in general.














Enjoy!

Good to know. I'm a huge wings fan, so if I am ever in Buffalo I will make sure to visit The Anchor Bar.

I believe that the Anchor Bar should be the first place that any out of towners go to when they come to Buffalo , hope to see you there soon!

Been there! They have a lot of other great food as well. The wings are the best I've had anyplace. Had a few variations that were very good, but not the originals.

Great to hear you have been there! If you come this way again...do you think you would make a return visit?

Without a doubt! Good memories as well as good food. A couple of real good friends of mine used to live around there. One died in a plane crash and the other in an auto accident. When I am close, I always stop for a batch of wings and a silent toast to good friends we have lost and good friends we have yet to make.

We ate there while passing through on vacation last year. It was great eating in the place where it all began. We don't get up that way often (last year was the first time going anywhere near Buffalo), but will definitely stop by when we do go that way again. It's certainly worth the trouble.
Also, from what I could tell, Buffalo's not nearly as bad as people make it sound sometimes. I liked it. Downtown was a bit dead on a Sunday afternoon, though.

What a heat-felt post, thanks for the tears - that is a very touching story you have there, and a good one at that .
