Lee Otis M C Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Now dont get me wrong, Anchorbars wings are easily the best in the nation. But Duff's, with their oversized, voluptuous drum/wing plethora, along with the pitcher of coke and the best skinny french fries you can get -- anywhere -- I can honestly say i would rather spend a Saturday afternoon at Duffs than Anchorbar.

Buftex Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I like Duffs more than Anchor Bar...but I like a good batch of La Nova or Casi De Pizza more than either. Like all the best resteraunts, though, you can get a less than stellar batch from time to time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing wrong with drinking some coke. But yes, Duff's is better than Anchorbar. I think of Anchorbar as more of a tourist attraction that has pretty good wings.

ans4e64 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 There are other random places around that have great tasting wings. Duffs is just the name everyone says first, but I don't think they necessarily have the best tasting wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yall Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Anchor is way overrated. Some of the better places are: The Pub (on Broadway in Depew) Barbill (East Aurora) Rhino's (Southwestern in OP: 10 cent jumbo wings on Thursdays. And yeah they are good).

Hang the quarters so the bears can't get them,then fry some back strap in in the butter and onion you thought to bring. Enjoy by the fire with a hot mug of coffee and listen to the wolves howling in the darkness. Ya it does get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Anchor Bar has good wings, but I prefer Duff's (all flats). My wife loves their sweet potato fries, and I really like their beef on weck. All flats? that's interesting. Most people, it seems, prefer the drummettes. I actually like some of each, as they each have different strong points. The chicken wing, is the best part of the chicken, IMO, and is a microcosm (in a way) of the entire bird. Speaking of WNY places that are strong with both wings, and beef-on-weck, I will once again pimp for Mister Dee's on Beach Rd, in Cheektowaga. Great "airport run" location, with all-around good food. Just a small step-away from the best, for both wings and weck ("Served medium rare, medium or well"). Terrific fish fry, too. http://www.misterdees.com/index.html And, if you like a more well done beef, or perhaps a BOW with gravy, McPartlan's Corner, on Wherle and Beach, just might be what you are looking for. Good old man's bar, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a nice trick to pull out one of the bones, and then it is a snap to eat. The meat on the flats tends to be much juicier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RShirley Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Does anyone think there is a difference between the wings at Duff's in Orchard Park and the Duff's on Sheridian (I think that is road, I'm not from Buffalo). I have been to the one on Sheridian maybe seven times and the one at Orchard Park after every Bills home game for 5 years. I am convinced that you get a better tasting wing at the one on Sherdian..........but if given the choice between the two, I'll go to the one in OP because the waitresses are hot.

Buftex Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Okay....can we please have a moritorium placed on any threads about Buffalo's cullinary delights? I get roped in every time, and then I get real home sick, and then I get depressed....and then I end up settling for some lame Texas imitation of the my favorite WNY foods...stop it you guys...I am getting depressed... if I could be anywhere right this second, I would be sitting at the folks house, eating a La Nova pizza, with a side bucket of hot chicken wings, done right...the dulcimer tones of Rick Jeanerett blaring away in the backround...
