The Anchor

I really really wanted to love this place. Ordered the Dragon burger and French Onion Soup burger to go. I can’t talk about the inside of the restaurant because it’s closed due to Covid. The burgers were good, but not as good as I expected. The burgers were large to and filling, but not memorable. Also the sweet potato fries and tots were nothing special. Maybe it’s much better in the restaurant instead of to go. I hope it was just an off day. The pickle was yummy.

My favorite restaurant!! Where I originate from, we used to have a place we could get these amazing haddock fish fry’s (no cod for me!) and since I moved to the area I’ve been on the hunt for the best place to get a haddock dinner. Well I’ve tried about every place, but none was as delicious as The Anchor! The fish was very clean and fresh, no weird fishiness a lot of other places in the area had, and simply delicious. For the better part of the last couple years I’ve been regularly ordering this and other amazing sandwiches from The Anchor and the quality is always wonderful!!! Also, the desserts and appetizers are to die for— I recommend the tots and the pierogi!! (My husband would agree but also suggest the pretzels and beer cheese!)

I have never been disappointed at The Anchor. For the past couple of months, I've been ordering regularly for delivery. Service is fast, typically arriving well under the 40-45 minute delivery time. The order is always complete, which is not a given with all restaurant delivery. And just as it was when they had indoor dining, the food is fresh and fabulous. My favorites are Hot Mess Fries, Too Hot To Tot, Bruskie Ruskies, Dragon Burger, and Cheezey Breezey Burger, which features a slab of mac'n'cheese. The brew selection is excellent. Yesterday, to celebrate The Anchor's 7th birthday, I ordered the Birthday Burger (Kilcoyne beef, melted brie cheese, sauteed onions, bacon, and homemade hot truffle honey drizzled on a brioche bun). From the first bite to the last, which took a while because the burger is enormous (in fact, all offerings are a generous portion, so good value for the money), I was delighted by the mix of flavors. (Can I get a growler of that truffle honey?!) Browse the menu and place an order for pickup or delivery.

We love The Anchor! Throughout the pandemic they've never wavered in their commitment to providing our community delicious food, a great rotating draft list, and the friendliest service in town. Ordering take-out from them has saved my sanity more than once in the last six months, I don't know what we'd do without them!
