Great place to go in Hutchinson. Interior is unique. It has been a staple downtown since '77. The staff was attentive. They have buffet Wed-Sat for a reasonable price. Tamales and rice are decent, and I enjoy their tortillas. It's buffet food so don't set your expectations too high. If you order off the menu I feel like the quality is a little better. Good place to hit the bar and watch the game. They also have room for larger parties and events. I'll upgrade to five stars once the restroom facilities get a little more cleaning attention. Consistently good experiences.
While the Anchor Inn restaurant shows up on many lists as one of the best places to eat in this part of Kansas every time I go there I am disappointed by their buffet. Maybe it's a mental block, but it's odd to go to a restaurant that's largely famous for their buffet and order off the menu. However if you're a new visitor to this restaurant I think that's the best choice is to order off the menu. The buffet choices are underwhelming. The food has been dried out and not very tasty the last couple times I've been there. The service is what you would expect in a busy open room concept...it's hurried and not very attentive. If I'm in the Hutchinson area I I'm going to think twice before I recommend that we go to the Anchor Inn again.
GREAT food and service, at a reasonable price. I had the buffet, everything was hot, and flavorful.
We visited the Anchor Inn for our date night, and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is located in one of the original vintage buildings. It is huge. They have 2 bars and a buffet and lots of seating. Our waitress was amazing and attentive. Our food came out fast and exactly how we ordered it. It was hot and delicious. The restaurant is clean and well organized. We will be back :)
Best mexican food ive had. Its always been delicious and never disappointed. Will always be back as long as they are around.
Kansas JewellI've gone to the Anchor Inn when in Hutch for years. Lots of terrific food including many you just can't get at very many Mexican restaurants. Quality & Atmosphere - Very Good
Food was ok, but wouldn't go out of my way to make the trip to Hutch specifically to eat there. Chips were thick and tough (and charged for). Buffet was so so. Service was good, and the waitress was very polite.
Had the lunch buffet, which was good. The waitress was very good. Busy place and a really nice salad bar for the area.
Great food, very friendly people who treat you like family.
The buffet was an uncommon feature of this restaurant. The food wasn't bad, but the convenience was key.
