What People's Say About Place

My family visited here on a Monday afternoon. My son had a cheeseburger and fries, and my wife and I split an order of mozzarella sticks and single order of Buffalo wings (medium sauce). The food was delicious. Atmosphere was very relaxing, and the service was very friendly.

“ Travis Bohrer ”

A Buffalo staple! Went here for lunch before my flight and was able to watch the Bills game too. Boneless wings were excellent. Ordered the mild but still had a kick to it.

“ Karen Kendzierski ”

I did not get any food with my drink just drank while waiting for the flight and these cocktails are great mainly the long Island ice tea it was very balanced great fresh lemon as well and the service was great as well our waitress had a great sense of humor and checked on us frequently overall great time

“ Andrew Driver ”

Perfect breakfast bar in the Buffalo airport. I got the Chicken Wing Omelet. Cheese not quite fully melted but it was very good. Potatoes well cooked. Full sized white toast. Good coffee in big cups.

“ Jim Blackwood ”

Great food and fantastic service especially considering it's in the airport. Plus a great opportunity to get the Original Buffalo Wing in Buffalo without this being your destination.

“ Leah Shook ”

Quick dinner here before our flight. They were busy but smoothly handled the customers. We had Wings, Beef on Weck with a side salad, and the Turkey Club Hoagie with macaroni salad. The wings, Beef on Weck and the hoagie were all very good. The only minor disappointment was the salad lettuce was not that fresh. The service was very good and our iced teas were refilled even before we asked. For airport food this was very good and prices reasonable.

“ Brian ”

Excellent crisis don’t BBQ wings at the anchor bar. Wings were really good and small. Service was helpful and a good spot to so and talk to the retired lady from Buffalo going back to Arizona.

“ Kevin Markman ”

I mean. It's airport food. Price will be higher and quality will be lower just the fact. However. The quality of the food ain't so bad given its an airport joint. Beer selection is good and staff is friendly. It's good. Not spectacular But good. I will visit here again if my choice is to eat in the airport
