I used to like the Anchor pre-pandemic. During the pandemic, I ordered food from them for take out - their food does not travel well and everything would get cold and rubbery - but I wanted to show my support. Then when they reopened the patio I took two friends and we ate outside - we were bombarded by wasps. We complained, but the wait staff gave us some idiotic reason why they couldn't deploy wasp traps. They got downright nasty! I'm not sure which was worse, the staff or the wasps. The Anchor used to be a good place but their quality and service have gone WAY south. No thanks.

this was one of my favorite spots to eat. within last few months the quality of food they are sending out has gone down tremendously. burnt dry chicken, greasy mac and cheese, cold fries…the quality is not worth the price. it seems like they are resting on the brand that was built before the owner stated she was selling. the food tastes like they gave up.

Great food- burgers & proper fish & chips. Casual place to enjoy burgers & bar food. Wine menu is minimal- but it's much more beer & burgers

i hate to say in the past month or so the quality of the food has gone down. i used to LOVE their sandwiches and fries. the past three orders my chicken/burger was burnt and my fries were soaked in grease AND soft. I am so sad that I may have to find another regular spot to order burgers

We ordered takeout and greatly enjoyed that they had a pickup window and a no mask, no service sign at the window. This made our pickup feel nice and safe despite COVID. The restaurant itself is located right off of a traffic circle, so finding and getting to parking for pickup is a bit tricky; you definitely need to watch your turns carefully here. We ordered butternut squash bisque, a Cobb salad, and garlic truffle pierogies. The bisque was warm and hearty, with awesome flavor. The salad was fresh and tasty with good fresh lettuce. Pierogies were well-seasoned and heaped with bacon, rich and delicious; at $3+ each, they were definitely pricey, but the taste eased the pain to the wallet. We also got donuts since they still had some left for the day and they saved us a trip elsewhere for dessert. We got a cider glazed, caramel delight, chocolate glazed, and strawberry glazed. The cider glazed donut had a great depth of flavor. It had a cider glaze layered with cinnamony streusel and is probably one of the best cider donuts we've found anywhere. The caramel delight had an overwhelming flavor of chocolate but was otherwise good. The coconut provides a good texture and they gooey caramel is delicious as expected. The double chocolate cake was a cake donut with a smooth super-chocolate flavor. It was a good consistency and it had fun ghost sprinkles. The strawberry glazed was a cake donut with nice lemon cookie crumbles (although it could use more), but the glaze is probably the richest strawberry glaze encountered anywhere. It was full of flavor and was definitely a winner. Overall, things were a little pricey, but high quality and very tasty. We would have liked to have tried their touted burgers and a few other menu items, so we’ll just have to go back for another visit.

My family and I were super excited that the Anchor is serving food in now. We used to come here all the time before the pandemic and had to make do with takeout. Food was great and it was wonderful to see the friendly staff!

I came to Anchor on 3/16 to purchase corn beef sandwiches for a couple I work for. For 2 sandwiches it was $30, I said good corn beef, it will be worth it!!! Terrible corn beef!!! Chewy and tough, my friends ask me not to go back to them, I was mortified, always ❤️❤️❤️ the food at the Anchor…. Both sandwiches went in garbage disposal ?

great service. great food. wide variety of craft beer.
