Anchor Bar has started catering more toward tourists or the occasional wing eater. Duffs is where it's at - cheaper, yummier, more authentic.
The best are the local eateries that serve 6 wings with half a beef on weck. Wash it all down with a loganberry while watching the Sabres game. And if it's spring, maybe the sauce is made with butter from a butter lamb. Go Buffalo!
People from elsewhere don't understand the firece loyalty we have to our hometown. Well, I moved back to WNY and now I convince newbies to the area that Anderson's or Polish Villa (etc) are better than Applebees and other chains.
