I was skeptical about this place but it is AMAZING! I got the grilled ham and cheese and it was perfect and exactly what I was looking for. Staff was extremely busy trying to keep up but they made sure that if you needed anything that you didn't have to wait. There are nick-nacks everywhere and you see something new each time you look. Highly recommend stopping for a bite or drink if you are in the area. Bring cash, they don't take cards but you definitely cannot beat the price. read more

Great Dive Bar in gritty Superior, WI. Excellent burgers and great service as well. Our group walked over from the nearby Best Western (they recommended) and were not disappointed. Everyone had a different burger with hand cut fries and they were all top notch. The bun was really fresh and unique and the ground beef was delicious and cooked correctly. We ended up doing shots and having a great time after we ate. This is a cash only bar with real drinks and great food. Leave the kids at home. You do not want to miss this place when anywhere near the Twin Harbors. Highly Recommended! read more

Came as recommendation of a friend, boy were they right! Don't let the outside fool you, the inside is filled with character and some of the hardest working individuals on the planet, who will serve you some of the most delicious, fresh burgers & fries you have sank your teeth into, and leaves cash in your pocket. Speaking of cash, make sure to bring enough. No hidden fees allowed here, love it, just have to be prepared. Can't wait to bring friends back. read more

This was great fun, and I can see why it's a tradition for our local union to visit when we have conventions in Duluth. A true dive bar except the bathrooms are actually rather nice. The tap beer selection is not huge but very good. The burgers and fries are excellent. I would put them in the top ten of what I've had. A kind of cool thing is they have beer glasses that they can fill from the bottom! Maybe I don't get out drinking much, but i'd never seen that before! It was crowded, but we managed to find seats at the bar. Service wasn't super fast, but quick enough considering how busy they were. Very economical prices too, but as everyone else says- bring cash! read more

Great dive bar burgers! If you want more than that, you're out of luck. But really, what else do you need? Smallish bar close to the port terminal on the Superior side of things. Maybe eight or ten tables total. But I sat at the bar that holds about 15. Service was right on point. Had the Reuben burger. Really liked the 1000 on the side. Had some leftover for dipping fries in. Oh yeah, get fries or forever regret it. The fries are a skin on hand cut variety. I call them state fair fries. If you're MN you know. Burger was plenty meaty. Fried onion addition was awesome. Cheese was melty and gooey. Only subtracting a point for their cash only policy. Come on, who has cash? read more

Burgers were CHEAP but so, so. Fries were awesome. We sat at the bar early on New Year's Eve. The waitress was an absolute BITCH...and I would not say that lightly. Cool place though. I can see where it would get crowded. We will try it again and see if things change. Certainly an "institution" though. read more

Found a spot at the bar on a busy night. Great burgers. Wildly inexpensive for what you get. Need a greasy fix? Do it.

Olive burger was amazing & the prices are unmatched. Spotted Cow on tap :-) First time eating here (finally) & truly enjoyed it!

Ate lunch with the family on a day trip up to Duluth from the cities, cash only so be prepared or expect to use their atm. Super small place lots of character and super quick service. They keep customers rotating in and out very quickly. The whole family enjoyed the burgers a lot. Great selection, we will for sure keep it in mind for future trips up north! read more

Good burgers. We went at shift change when the crabby older women servers were all leaving. I would recommend not going when they are working. They ignore you and are pretty rude. We always make it here if we are near Duluth. read more

Food and prices are great. Love this place for a burger when I'm in town. I go as much as I can. It is cash only though.

We came in during an NFL game so every seat was taken. The eclectic, quirky interior gives you plenty to look at while you wait. By the time I walked the length of the restaurant a table opened up in the front. The poor waitress was stretched thin, but she still managed to get out table cleaned and grab our order. Don't expect a burger fast. They are all made to order and they are worth the wait. I didn't have room for the 1 Pound Galleybuster, so I settled on the 2/3 Pound Anchor Burger with fries. This burger isn't just good, it's "I will eat until every morsel is gone from my plate good". Every bite is as good as the one before it. I was eating fries trying not to split a seam in my overloaded stomach. Bring cash as they don't accept plastic, it'll be worth the ATM fee. The Anchor should be on your burger bucket list, it is that good! read more

I really wanted to give a great review, because this place is iconic. But I've been here twice lately and it's just been ok. I got the cashew burger, which was highly recommended, Burger itself was a bit dry and my cheese wasn't melted, so all my cashews kept falling off. It was considerably better once I added pickles and mayo. The "Swiss" is Swiss like white Kraft singles, sadly. I mean, that's ok on a standard cheeseburger. And our burgers took a loooonnngg time. Like 35+ minutes. Service was minimal. My advice, look at the menu ahead and know what you want and order right away and ask for everything you might want then. read more

Everything was great as usual even the prices are still unbelievable these days, the most expensive burger is $8.00 or around there and if younwant fries it's only $1.50 more read more

My favorite place probably to pick from in the world honestly. just the burgers are the best i've ever had from all over. the best servers, waiters, and cooks as well, some of the nicest people. and not to mention the ambiance and atmosphere is absolutely fantastic. my bf and i brought his little brother here as a goodbye dinner and my bf is going to the army in two weeks and google maps said they were open later then they actually were. instead of turning us away, the cook and waiter actually insisted we stayed and made us some bomb a** burgers. none the less, the food is spectacular, such an affordable price thank goodness, and amazing staff. so happy this gets to be one of my go to spots. read more

Anchor Bar is some of the best food in the Duluth/Superior area. It's inexpensive, open late, and great if all you want is simple but awesome food. I've had like six of their burgers over the years and can't pick my favorite. read more

What's not to love. It's a dive bar, expect that. It's not pretentious. It was featured on Diners Driveins and Dives several years ago. Simple menu. Great burgers, some local beer ion tap. Outdoor seating. Kitschy decor inside. The food prices are low. Cash only. The French fries are real French fries. With skin. It was an actual potato just minutes before being on your plate. Our waitress was great, we sat outside. No issues with service. Late August was windy, but nice. read more

There is not 1 part of my experience that says I'd like to go back there... The burgers are cooked/steamed and smushed to death! The buns are stale and tasteless...everyone has attitude and the bartenders/waitresses act like it kills them to serve you. I saw at least 5 tables have to go to the bar to pay their bill and the energy felt like they were being scolded for doing so. Yes Thursday May 26th 2022 at 6pm read more

Yum! Greasy bar food is this place's specialty. And they have several offerings of burgers that looked so good, but I was only going to have room for one. I went with the Reuben and I was satisfied. I almost went with the jalapeño cream cheese burger but my lunch mate ordered that and I'm a firm believer that ordering the same thing is sacrilege. I added fried (sautéed) onions to my burger at the suggestion of my mate and I'm glad I did. It's an especially divey joint, but the service was very friendly. Was this the absolute best burger I ever had? No. Were the fries crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside? No. Would I ever come back? Yes. But I'm going to give the jalapeño and cream cheese burger a try, regardless of whether my lunch mate orders it or not. Beware! It's a cash-only joint, so hit up an ATM beforehand! read more

I did not know that I needed cashews on my burger until today. Unbelievable burger. So simply prepared, yet above par. The service was great, in between the orders coming in (sat at bar) she chatted with us. Jalapeño burger had fantastic taste and texture. Fries were piping hot. Great with mustard. Price was on point, in fact surprised it wasn't more expensive. We had some cocktails as well, served well. When in Superior, run to this place and grab a burger and beverage. You will not be disappointed. read more

Not even posting a picture of the food. You'll think it's like any other greasy burger joint you've ever been to. However, that's not the case. You'll never have a burger, a beer or service like you can get at Anchor. If you've never heard the name or the fame, travel, make the decision and go. With Walz's shutdown in Minnesota it's a great time to spend some money in 'Sconnie. Do it. Try the burger. I dare you.

Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday, super busy. We managed to get the last 2 seats at the bar. Lots of divey bar eye candy if you're into that. We did not know what to expect, but the Bloody Marys were tasty (I had 2!) and came with a spicy pickle and beef stick. I ordered the cream cheese jalapeno burger and while there was a lot of cream cheese it was still very tasty. My hubby got the mushroom and swiss and liked. The fries were amazing and super fresh- I could see them being cut in the kitchen!!! The best part, our tab was $30 (3 Bloody Mary's, 2 burgers, and 2 fries this includes tax and all). Beware, it's cash only but there's an ATM. read more

Great character and definitely worth a stop. Only burgers on the menu, cheap prices, and decent burgers.

Amazing burger, fast and friendly. Had the jalapeño cream cheese burger/ fries and a vodka soda. Bill came out to $12. 10/10 recommend

Good burgers for good prices. Usually get them to go because there's no place to sit because it's so busy. Also, they don't accept credit cards, so keep this in mind! read more

This place never disappoints - the olive burger is my personal favorite and it had been a number of years since I had one - so I forgot to take a photo of it.

Atmosphere was probably the best thing about this place. Everywhere you look there is something neat or interesting. Loved that when you look back in the kitchen, you can see them using a machine to cut up the potatoes and stick them RIGHT IN the fryer. Talk about fresh. As far as burgers? Not the best I've had but still good. Unique selections but typical bar burger. Cash only FYI read more

Absolutely ridiculous that they even call themselves a professional establishment. The bar was disgustingly dirty. We went in for dinner. The front area was full. So, we tried to sit in the back dining area. A waiter promptly told us that area was closed. There was no other seating available other than at the bar. While there was bar stools to sit at, the entire bar was covered in dirty dishes and other garbage. We then asked the bartender if we could sit outside at the outdoor dining area. She very rudely said, "no, I'm not coming out there to take orders or deliver food. After taking one last look around at this disgusting dump with their rude, staff, shriveled, shrewd, decrepit bar staff, we decided to cut our losses. Save yourself some time. McDonald's is better. read more
