The Anchor

The good: The food was good, fresh, and all prepared properly. The fries were perfect. Crispy outside, soft inside. The burgers were all cooked exactly as we had ordered them. The food was done quickly, but at the time we were there only a few tables were being used.

The beer list is good and has lots of good options. They also offer little 4 oz glasses which are great for sampling, or if you're going to be driving.

The service was okay. We were neither impressed nor upset by them.

The bad: They are trying so hard to be trendy inside and just failing miserably. The walls are covered in "art" that is at best poor and at worst creepy as heck. The lighting is dim and very yellow to the point that it's difficult to make out colors. I imagine they were trying to make it feel warm but overdid it. The music was the worst. It was all very niche. Imagine a combination of classic rock, jazz, crying babies, and a nearly broken car. I'm sure there is one person somewhere who thinks it is great. For most everyone else it's just awful. I'm not doing them to play Bruno Mars, just stop trying so hard to be hip. They aren't a hip spot. More like a really awkward and moderately creepy Uncle who is trying to be cool and is having difficulty coping with the fact that they peaked in high school and can't go back.

So in short: Good food, decent service, terrible ambiance.

Awesome food. Not on the healthy side, but oh so tasty. Fun and cool atmosphere. We devoured the burgers, sandwiches, fries (amazing sweet potato and French fries) and desserts. Even the kids loved the food - we couldn’t ask for more...

Best. Burger. Selection. Ever. Also GREAT tap list. If you are even remotely in the area, this place deserves a visit. You can get half pours of their draft beer which is great and burgers like the Elvis burger or the Johnny Cash give you some great (and some seemingly crazy) burger options.

Staff was great and welcoming and the food was incredible.

We had the hot mess fries with sweet potato. It was delicious the pork was awesome.

The French onions soup burger was also perfect! The Patty alone had a really great flavor. One of the best burgers I've had.

Dessert was awesome! No complaints. The live music was also a real treat.

Great choice of beers food was great we both had burgers many to choose from. Staff was very attentive. This was our first time but won’t be our last.
