Reviews
This restaurant has large openings to the outside, that includes great views of the river, a play area for kids, and an outdoor seating area.
Staff was prompt and friendly.
The anchor shrimp (appetizer) was was crispy, perfectly portioned and the flavor didn't disappoint it's appearance.
Garlic parmesan wings (appetizer) were good. I prefer crispier wings, but they were typical compared to other restaurants I have been to. If anyone knows of a place that has large crispy wings let me know!!
The Nashville hot and chicken was good. Crispy and juicy.
The bacon jam burger was delicious. The bacon and jam added a sweet and savory component over your typical burgers.
The fries were just ok. Thicker size like Wendy's fries, little to no seasoning/flavor and kinda on the softer size.
Fish and chips, again the fries are nothing to write home about. But the large portion of crunchy and flaky redfish hit the spot for me.
Strawberry lemonade mint daiquiri doesn't really have a mint taste but is very good.
The play area was a good size and all the kids there including mine enjoyed this space.
I was told the menu changes ever couple months.
Don't know if there is a live band every night but there was a good band during our meal and the overall atmosphere was outstanding. One of our favorite places so far on the north shore overall, covering all ages of our family
Fun place to relax and grab a drink. They have a kids playground there so the adults can chat a while without boring the little ones. The view is outstanding as well.
Beautiful outdoor seating area with tvs to watch sporting events, great staff with great attitudes and delicious food are almost too good to be true. Add in that it's pet friendly? Winner winner boudin eggroll dinner!
Love this restaurant. It's definitely my go-to with my kiddos. They are able to play while I supervise. On the river. Can't beat it. Food is yummy too!!
Nice open air restaurant below the Tchefuncte Restaurant. Good bar type food. Hamburgers are good.
We definitely love The Anchor. No matter what day or time of the day you go there is always great. The atmosphere, the lake view and food are just amazing.
Wonderful dinner with great views from every table. Play place for the kids
Full hat with a number of daiquiri machines frozen and ready, by the glass or half a gallon
Watch the temperature though. We were there late in the afternoon and with a stiff wind blowing. Outside temp was dropping into the high sixty and it really too cold to eat outside.
Sunday is bar n que and it was delicious
Highly recommended
We love the atmosphere, and our kids love it; the music is great! But we would order the same thing every time- smoked wings and ceasar salad- loved them both! However today we went and the menu was different- wings aren't smoked anymore, taste way saltier, and cost 2$ more than 2 weeks ago. Even the salad wasn't as good. Not sure what happened, but we are sad! Otherwise, great place for the kids.
