We started with the Pizza Logs ($11)- pizza dough stuffed with mozerella cheese and pepperoni, served with pizza sauce. I think the description is a little misleading. What arrived at our table could be best described as "pizza egg rolls". The dough was rolled and deep fried, and was not what we were expecting. They weren't bad, but we did wonder if they were made in-house. They had the look of something out of a box. I don't reccomend trying them when there are so many other tasty options on the menu.
Now on to the wings...we ordered 10 hot and 10 spicy barbeque just to try at least two different sauces (they only have 4). Both types were meaty and had a wonderful crisp to them. Anchor Bar has certainly perfected creating a great crisp on the outside without completely drying out the chicken inside. The hot sauce was pleasant, but standard, and the spicy barbeque seemed a bit more intense than the hot which was surprising.
I've had better wing sauces here in Cleveland (ex. Winking Lizard), but overall we enjoyed the experience and it is worth stopping in if you are passing through or visiting Buffalo.

Try the wings at B Spot - the chicken meat inside is remarkably tender while the outside is crisp and coated with seasoning.
I can't say the wings were anything to write home about (not BAD, just not memorable.) The one thing I do remember from our visit is that Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard where at the table behind us. I think Anchor Bar is one of those "check it off your list" kind of places.
Nancy- Thanks for the tip! That's just how I like them. We haven't had a chance to make it out to B-Spot yet, but I'm looking forward to trying it.
Agreed- it is one of those places that you must try if you're in the area, but you don't have to go back!
Bite Buff - the next time you are traveling to upstate NY, stop in a little town called Pulaski. They are famous for fishing, but a local bar called the End Zone has exactly the kind of wings you like: meaty with crisp skin and moist interior. Let me know when you are there - I will buy!
