I'll never order a pizza from here again. It's quite seriously the worst pizza I've had since I can remember. The back deck looks inviting, but if your a pizza place you should make that a priority. Some of the frozen pizzas in the grocery store are better. read more

We were looking for a dog friendly restaurant at the end of our short spring break trip. We found a nice little place in Anchor! The staff was super friendly to us and especially our new four legged family member and the view was outstanding . Have to be honest that we were hoping for a larger selection of local beers than what was presented. Pizza was pretty decent. Thank you Anchor! read more

So good! Pizza is amazing and the service is so great! Such nice people and finally some great pizza in the area!!! So glad to have discovered this place :) read more

No food after an hour! Not even cheese sticks that take 10 minutes to make or our salads that take even less time! When I asked where my kids cheese pizzas I was told they took so long because they were THAWING! We watched people come 30 minutes after us get their food! We left with no food, but tons of excuses from why we didn't get it. Get it together Anchor Pizzeria!!! Thanks for literally nothing. read more

BEST FOOD EVER!!! awesome staff (loved their hostess named Ashley!!!) highly recommend for families not trying to spend a whole lot of money while on vacation! read more

I was in Emerald Isle for a month for work and found this place because of a review about the wings. The wings truly were really good and the Mac and cheese bites were a great appetizer! I loved that they had a cooler you could choose bottled beer from or even a "mix and match six pack" you could buy. The draft beer was truly what I came here for because I wanted to try local beer while I was there. Either they had just replaced their kegs or the cooler wasn't cold enough because the bartender just poured a bunch of foam. The owner then suggested she give me a beer where 1/4 of it was foam and "fill it up later once the foam goes down" okay no big deal, I'm not super picky... well, she never actually filled up my beer. A few nights later a coworker and I came in around 6:30/7:00 for dinner and beer and had 4 more people on their way to join us when the bartender informed us that since we were the only two there he was losing money and was going to close the place for the night before we could even order our food. Other people started showing up, but the bartender said nothing to us and we felt unwelcome so we went next door to the crab shack for our dinner and didn't return to this place for the rest of our trip. Super disappointed. read more

I have eaten here before and I was impressed by the food and an atmosphere. My family and I dropped by Sat night to get a late night snack and some drinks. When we arrived at 9:10pm, we were told they were closed, no biggie, we tunred around and walked off. The owner came running out the door after us and said." Come on back in I'll turn on the ovens for you folks" I declined his offer but told him thanks anyway. He said I want to feed u folks, ur hungry, let me do that. Again, we declined but I was really impressed at how he wanted to take care of his customers. You dont find that now a days! That's how u take care of people, and thats how u keep them coming back in the door. This place has really good food and beer. The atmosphere is wonderful, being right there on the water. I can promise u we will be back and let others know of our experience. Thanks so much! read more

Great pizza spot! The outdoor seating overlooking the water was very cool. The cheesy bread and pizza were fantastic, and the craft beer selection is very good. Overall great food and atmosphere. Will definitely be returning and bringing friends! read more

Everyone seemed unhappy here, especially the staff, and the pizza we got was very soggy. Good location but that's all. Try a local seafood restaurant on the island. Very rude management. read more

The hostess mumbled whenever she talked to us and got upset when we couldn't hear her. When talking to us she seemed very bothered and distracted. We tried to clarify what was going on because we were confused, but she didn't answer any of our questions so we just ended up sitting down at a random seat confused. After about 20 min we just had to cancel our order due to poor direction and service. Overall, it did not feel very welcoming. read more

I have eaten there about five times and have enjoyed an assortment of pizzas; my favorite is the Margherita pizza. Nice, friendly staff,afraid the size limitation of the building will be an issue as the summer season arrives. I wish they had a salad option to go with the personal pizza so people could share. Good variety of beer options. read more

This is probably one of the best pizzas I have ever had!! The flavors were all on point!!! The supreme was amazing, and we asked to get the Hawaiian with white sauce and they we were very pleased. Staff was very nice, place was clean and we will definitely make this our new pizza place to come at the beach!! I know we will be talking all year about it until next year. read more

Anchor Draft House - Chicken Wings Near Me - Indian Beach, North Carolina

See all

Excellent pizza and great draft beer on tap! The owner was very friendly and great service! A very nice little place to go! Check it out! Cozy little deck on back overlooking the sound! read more

We had the pleasure of eating at this new restaurant this afternoon. Coming out to this area because of outstanding Yelp reviews of a seafood food truck (that must be seasonal because we never found it!) we were starving, and super cranky! We stumbled upon the Anchor Draft House. This cool and trendy looking restaurant was empty - it was about 3:00 - we had the pizza which was recommended by the staff - their Cheeseburger pizza! Omg with burger meat, cheese, pickles and mustard and ketchup, add onions-made this pizza taste like a real cheeseburger! The crust was outstanding as well. Very delicious and we ate the whole thing! We also had boneless chicken tenders - honey garlic style and served with ranch dressing. Mouth watering! The view outside on the deck was just breathtaking. You order food and drinks at the bar and receive a beeper when your food is ready (you get your drinks when you order) Great food served up on brand new picnic tables right on the Pamlico sound with a cool breeze! Welcome Anchor Draft House and thank you from this hungry family! We caught up with the bartender/manager/owner (sorry? But a sweetheart). She advised they only opened last weekend - amazing the food was that good for only being open a week. read more

Food and atmosphere were great! But the service was terrible. Despite having 3-4 waitresses to serve 6 tables, our waitress couldn't manage to get off her phone at the end of the bar to get us the things we needed (ie napkins, plates, utensils, etc). She could really afford to loose the attitude as well. read more

Crust is tasteless and just not good. Too bad. We had such high hopes for a tasty pizza joint with a great selection of craft beer. Greatly disappointed. read more

Horrible excuse for a local pizza place. When you walk in, the sign says please wait to be seated so we did. After about 5 minutes standing there a server tells us we can seat ourselves. We decided to sit on the deck for the view. Not a good idea if you want service from one of the servers. My wife had to go in to get a menu and I had to walk to the bar to order. I made my way into the bar and stood there for about ten minutes while the server finished texting before coming to place my order. We did receive our cold mozzarella sticks that tasted like they were direct from the freezer. After waiting for our pizza for over an hour we decided to leave and eat at home. On top of that, there were three kegs empty when I went to order a beer. I would not waste my time eating at this pizza place. Drive into town to one of the others. Rude staff, no beers, and horrible service. read more

Sat down, took 30 minutes to get a water, then after an hour of sitting there never got our food. Two people behind us got their food before and they hadn't even put ours in the oven. The waiter only came to our table once the entire time. read more

We were waiting for our food for over an hour while people beside us sat down 40 minutes after we sat and got their food plus two other tables. read more

Good home style pizza and unique selection of drafts. Medium selection of taps. Wing meat is tasty, sauces could be better

Pizza far exceeded expectations. Little spot on the water, very nice to enjoy the sunset over the sound. Will be back.

Great wings, great pizza and the beer is freezing cold! Staff is friendly and the service is great!

So, this place is trying to find their identity. My suggestion, go for takeout or for a beer flight. Or do a beer flight while waiting for your takeout. Pizza is mediocre and staff are like deer in headlights when you ask a question. They were sweet so I am giving them two stars. Fried pickles were a highlight. read more

Mandatory masks required and Anchor Pizza is having a band and not requiring masks if you have a "condition". And people wonder why Florida, Texas and Arizona are going back under lockdown. Bad form Anchor Pizza! read more

Will keep it short at simple. Pizza, legit. Decent and price appropriate. Beer selection, really good. Staff, below average. Had to tell "attendant" three times which beer we wanted. Three times for each. Obviously had no clue about craft beer. Biggest thing. After a hot day at the beach, guess what I'm not into? Sweating over hot pizza. It was easily well over 80 degrees in this place. Not.at.all.enjoyable. Order to go, or go somewhere with the courtesy of AC. read more

Got takeout from here and was not very impressed. The pizza was bland and did not have a lot of sauce. Tasted similar to Domino's or Pizza Hut. Also the buffalo wings were soggy and prices were high. read more

Pizza was really good and so was the view. Perfect on the water spot. Service was okay, definitely could've been better!

Sadly, we had a terrible experience last night. Our experience consisted of forgotten food, cold food, and subpar food compared to our experience last year. Our server completely ignored our table for 20 minutes after our cold food was served. Kitchen staff set our food on bar and left it until bartender decided to bring to us. No social distancing and masks not required. They did deduct the forgotten and cold food from our bill, but total waste of our money and time. read more

Great pizza and wings with excellent service! The margarita pizza is amazing. I would also recommend the honey barbecue wings.

So enjoyed my dinner at Anchor... i was so happy to find a great pizzeria with such a wonderful selection of draft beer. Wonderful service with small town charm. Thank you for making my time away from reality so relaxing. read more

Good pizza....not the best, but good. Service and wait time was outstanding. We ordered ahead for four pizzas to be picked up. Nothing special...three large cheese and one large pepperoni pizza. Got there and was quickly waited on. In and out in three minutes which was awesome! Only issue is the price. Those four pizzas cost $69 which is nuts. Included in that price was an $8 "fee," of which I don't know what it was but I noticed it when we got home. read more

First of all....I love this place. They have a wonderful local craft beer selection and the food is good. There really aren't many pizza options on the island other than Michelangelo's, Michaelangelo's, and oh wait, Michelangelo's. Anchor pizza is my favorite on the island (margherita, add chicken), with quality mozzarella and none of that shredded cheap stuff. For those reviewers who are comparing to NY, well I have news for you.... you are not in NY!! If you want NY pizza, go back home and quit crowding my hang out! :). I advise discounting the early reviews. This place just recently opened and it is very nice to have a place mid-island with a really nice craft beer selection and good pizza and wings. They have had a few bugs getting started. The main problem was that I don't think they anticipated they would be so popular/busy! Their initial intent was to be a draft house that served pizza. They didn't realize their pizza would be so popular, so they had some growing pains trying to keep up with the demand. They continue to listen to feedback and improve each time I am there. That being said, it can get pretty crowded and there is limited seating for large crowds, so if you have more than four in your party, you may have a tough time finding a spot to sit on a busy day. The ordering system is a little unique....you generally order and pay up front, unless you are also ordering beer in which case you can open a tab and pay for your food when ready to leave. It's a little confusing, especially for a newcomer. Still worth a visit though. I go here several times a month to chill out with some beer and za. read more

Love their pizza. Great place to get beer & chill. They have a great beer selection. Not many choices on the island so if you are looking for some great draft beer & munching on a pizza, it's a great place to hang out. It's small so don't be in a hurry & don't come with a big party- that's kind of how the island is. The salads & pickle fries are good too! The servers are always super nice - love Matt, Sam, Rebekah, Zoe & Phil! read more

Nice little tucked away draft house. The kitchen capacity not big enough to handle full house. I Like the whole concept. But the prices are a little high for what tasted like pre made pizza dough. Flat and not airy. 3 drafts, salad and 16 inch about $50. I'll just go for beer at bar next time. read more

Was looking forward to checking this place out. There are not a lot of options in the middle of the island and was hoping for the best. I arrived around 6pm on a weeknight. Not very crowded and as others have said, a pretty nice view of Bogue Sound. I would guess total seating on the outside deck would accommodate 15-20 people. Good beer selection...but I was stunned that their draft was served in a disposable plastic cup. For $6 a pint I expected a pint "glass". The bad...they appeared to be very disorganized, still trying to work out the kinks I guess. Pizza is very expensive and is not very good. read more

This waterfront pizza joint was just the cutest! We had the best waiter- Llily! She was so sweet and welcoming! Even though we could tell she was overwhelmed she always made sure we were content and had enough food/drinks. I would highly suggest going to Anchor pizza for some great views, pizza, and company! read more

The food was amazing. I had the fried pickles and the Hawaiian pizza. Both were cooked just right. The pizza comes out thin and crispy and the toppings were fresh. They have a very good selection of beer also. The beer was cold and tasted very good. The staff were very friendly and talked to you and carried on good conversation. Sophia was the bartender and she did a great job. I would highly recommend this newly opened hidden gem to anyone in the area. read more

What an amazing place. Despite going on a Saturday night when they had live entertainment and a packed house, the food and service was great. The craft beers were even better. read more

This place was amazing. My family came in last night and loved it so they brought the rest of us today. Knowing it was Father's Day and having 6 people we were prepared to wait but they found us a place pretty quickly. They were very honest with us about the wait for service and food. They were polite and so we were more than fine waiting. The owner came out and talked with us and he was super friendly. Explained how they are still working out all the kinks as they are still relatively new. Heather the bartender was just the best!!! Not only was she on top of our beers, but she was great with letting us try them and recommending great beers. She kept us updated about waits, despite having a full bar and a few tables. Thank you Heather!! read more

Awesome beer selection. Something for everyone, even those who say they don't drink beer. But unfortunately the food is mediocre at best, which is not a high bar to clear for pizza. Crust is flacid. Sauce tastes like it came out of a jar. Balsamic glaze made usually light margherita heavy and cloying. Drink up, but stick with bar food appetizers and forego the pizza. read more
