Both are good, Bar Bill is better in my opinion. But it's a small, taverny place that fills up fast. Re: Anchor Bar--you don't go to Disney World for the rides. That's what Cedar Point is for.

IMO you have to go just to say you did...go. I thought that the wings were good and the beef on weck very good. This time we'll do Duff's. A couple months ago we were in the area and hit Schwabel's. There are just some things ya gotta do.

My buddy and I are thinking of hitting Nick T.'s in Rochester to get a garbage plate on the way to O.P. While in O.P., Duff's is on our list for wings .... but then Big Cat threw out Bar Bill. We'll likely do Duff's, just because of the reputation. Anchor Bar is a likely destination for the same reason ... as you said ... just to say we did. Maybe on Saturday, we'll hit Anchor Bar for a few beers after we check in, then Duff's for dinner. Garbage Plate, Anchor Bar, Duff's wings, Hammer's Lot, meeting Beerball and Mead, sitting on JBoyst's lap ... AND a Bills/Pats home opener ... that's a great fuggin' weekend.
Helpmenow Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Bar-bill used to be real good. Too many know the place. Cant even get a seat. I lived there! On 8/15/2013 at 4:45 PM, Gugny said: Thanks, BB.

I've never been able to "get a seat." I first went in 2006, haven't been back since 2010. Has wing quality declined? Or just the quality of dining experience, given the crowd?

Nick the Greek Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Pearl St Brewery is always a favorite of mine when in Buffalo. Great food and craft beer. http://pearlstreetgrill.com/home
mrags Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 You have it right brother. When you get in on Saturday, head to Duffs for dinner and then go to Anchor for some beers. Or switch up the order. There's nothing really worthwhile at Anchor Bar. It's all about going there. If you can get there for lunch your probably better off because the place will most likely be a mad house on a Saturday night the night before opening kickoff. Duffs will be busy but not nearly as bad. IMO. Bar Bill is good. But IMO, your not missing much. And I wouldn't waste your time with a Garbage Plate unless your hammered. You'll most likely think it looks like puke and tastes even worse. Don't forget to stop by all the tailgates at Hammers. I'll be there grilling it up.

A girl that works with my wife offered me cheap seats to tonight's Bills/Vikings game. Said she knew a guy who was in corrections and had season tickets. My first that was, "mrags??? "
