I missed that short window I guess. Disappointing too because I wanted to go to one in Buffalo back in 2013 (season opener against NE), the last time I was there, and the wait was 1.5 hours. So my wife and I left, and tried to find a Duffs (because I’ve heard of them). We walked in and went to the restroom, and there was a leak from the ceilings, so we left. Seemed kind of dirty. Expand Don't feel bad, we live on the SE side of Richmond, and you didn't miss anything.at the Richmond place. The NYC store is not off to a good start either. Can you imagine the Anchor Bar "running out of" wings??

My brother lives near Short Pump, so I was thinking of going down and swinging by anchor bar since I’d be close. Oh well.

Expand IF they would have had the sense to put it out in the West End, maybe it would still be here? On the other hand, the service was soooo bad, maybe not! Maybe Anchor is not a good franchise concept? There's just so much you can do with a chicken wing. I'm not putting them down BUT Richmond and Chicken Wings don't seem to connect.

I can get better in Glens Falls. Expand I feel the Anchor Bar kinda sold it's soul when they remodeled. That location had such great character before.

Duffs were better than anchor but still not the best in the area. Expand Where is the best? We went to Bar Bill in East Aurora last fall when in town it was fantastic.
