    This little dive bar in Superior, Wisconsin offers cheap and tasty burgers and loads of history. If…read morethis place could talk, I can't even imagine the stories it could share. There are so many knick-knacks that probably have so many neat stories to go along with them displayed throughout. It reminds me of those seek and find books that I loved looking through as a kid. This is the place that your father's grandfather went to grab a beer after busting his butt at the docks all day to provide for his family. No fuss and no frills, you get good service and good burgers while surrounded by nautical flair. You know this place is good because it gets busy fast. It's not the largest place but there is a patio outside for overflow seating. They don't take cards for payment, so make sure you bring cash. The burger menu offers classics as well as some unique twists such as green olive and cream cheese (as seen on TV) or jalapeno popper. The menu isn't large but offers the usual dar food fair. So grab a seat at the bar, get a good beer in-hand and strike up a nice conversation with the person next to you while enjoying a tasty hot, hot burger.

    Continuing our two month motorhome trip, we find ourselves in Superior, WI for five days. When I…read morefirst saw mention of Anchor Bar, I wondered if it was a location of the Anchor Bar and Grill in Buffalo, NY (IYKYK). It is not associated in any way. I persuaded my wife to go for an early dinner. I told her my perception was a "dive bar". She wasn't too pleased and I told her maybe an "eclectic bar" would be a better description. Yes...an eclectic bar. Cash only with an ATM at the ready with only a $2.50 service fee (my bank refunds all ATM service fees). We got the last two seats at the bar. There were two people working the bar and they were extremely welcoming, friendly, and attentive. We are from Texas and as soon as I open my mouth, you can see the "look" on their face. We both were very glad we went. My wife ordered the California burger and I ordered the mushroom and swiss cheese with the addition of sauteed onions and bacon. My burger was absolutely delicious. My wife really enjoyed hers, but mentioned she wished she had ordered it medium. The fries were obviously hand-cut and I assume on the premises...hot and delicious. Don't worry about plenty of ketchup. The bar had several, very large bottles of Heinz ketchup within easy reach. Plenty of rolls of paper towels. We ordered two Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy drafts; nice and cold. They use a very unique pint glass with a hole and magnet in the bottom. The glass is placed on the machine and it is enters through the bottom. Never have seen this before. Ambiance? Very eclectic with a nautical theme. I loved this place! Again, both servers at the bar were very attentive. Never walked by without asking is everything OK, or if there was anything we needed. This is a must when in Superior or Duluth. Would return again and I highly recommend.

    The host was unnecessarily rude to our group throughout the entire night. At one point, two of us…read morewent up to get drinks while our four parents were waiting off to the side around a table, completely out of the way. We were yelled at and told to move, even though there were plenty of open tables. Later, the guys went up to the bar to get drinks and were again told to move out of the walkway, despite the bar being busy and us simply trying to order. Then later in the evening, three of us sat at a table while the rest of our group played slots, and we were once again yelled at and told to move. There were over 10 open tables throughout the night, so it's not like we were taking up space that other customers needed. We understand it was busy, but being repeatedly yelled at and told to move when we were not in anyone's way was completely unnecessary. It made the entire experience uncomfortable and left a really bad impression. If making customers feel like an inconvenience is your idea of good hospitality, you might want to rethink who's actually in the way.

Waitress Riley was outstanding -- professional, personable, and our orders were perfect. She was so attentive. Appetizers came out very fast and hot. Burgers (unexpected double patties) and chicken sandwiches were tasty and delicious. Lettuce, onion, tomatoes and mayonnaise was on the side which is a great touch to keep them all crisp and not soggy/wilted. Huge orders of fries. Boneless wings had so many that others ate a few and still had 8 to take home. Super atmosphere and great service.

They were out of the steak offering a small sirloin instead at that point we should've left,but I said well let's just order something else.so I order half rack of ribs and my husband a sandwich .The ribs came out with no sauce and tasted old I couldn't eat them I mean ribs with no sauce who does that??The waitress was sarcastic and very unprofessional.Burgers lost our business I guess they depend on the drinkers from the bar because they're to drunk to know what the food tastes like.I guess they need to do false advertising to get people in.So if you only want fries that's the place to go because that was the only food that was edible

    We are from out of town and after we rode the Duluth River train, we pulled up the gps map to look…read morefor some restaurants in the area. We drove by a few that didn't look as interesting as we thought they would, and then decided to try this one, even though it was way away from where we were it looked like a good menu. We were not disappointed. Service was great. Food was great. We are an older couple so we're happy to see that they had seniors menu with some smaller size burgers. Amazing flavor on the burgers and the best french fries that we have eaten in a long, long long time. We only get to Duluth about four times a year, but we decided that this is where we're eating every time from now on.

    Accidentally found this place on maps. Tip: always zoom in and out in an area when looking for food…read moreas the buttons seem to pop at different "elevations". SO glad I stopped. I had the special, a simple cheeseburger and fries. Simple it was not. This will now be my go-to place for a burger whenever I'm in town. The burger is never frozen, the fries are real and fresh cut (but they do it right and soak them in water). OMG, I was expecting a typical flat little burger and a half a dozen bites of fries...oh no, bring your appetite my friend! The burger was juicy and thick but also fully cooked. The fries were divine! They were golden brown with a perfect crisp, skin on for flavor, and not too skinny nor thick AND didn't leave me wanting more. I ALWAYS want more fries. I made the mistake of saying "no" to tomato and lettuce and onion. They are usually a little limp leaf of nearly white lettuce and a paper thin slice of lacy flavorless wet tomato. Nope, not here. I saw them preparing other baskets as I was sitting at the counter awaiting my order...the fixings were thick, bright, and crunchy! Don't skip it. I'm also super excited to try their other dinner selections like meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy. I have a hunch the potatoes won't be instant. I'm curious about breakfast too, although I'm never in town that early. They have a small selection of desserts as well. They also serve my favorite root beer, 1919, along with 1919 cream soda which I didn't even know they had! Just like the quality and quantity of food, the service is what I remember it used to be. I was greeted with a genuine warm and welcome smile. I wad given an appropriate amount of time to decide before being pestered multiple times. My questions were answered without a look of annoyance and I wasn't made to feel like a bother. The small talk was personable and appropriate. Service sets the tone and I felt comfortable and belonging. The ONLY reason I didn't give it 5 stars was it kinda yucked me out nobody wore gloves at any point. Grabbing fistful of potatoes out of a bucket of water would require a type of dishwashing glove, and I get that they are fried in hot oil so that didn't bother me as much. It was more the handling the raw fixings without gloves and noting that the lettuce (as beautiful as it was), and I'm assuming the other vegetables, we're not washed prior. I don't think many restaurants do for the reason of preparation speed and ingredient longevity. That part bothers me everywhere because all I can think of is pesticides and germs. I don't typically end on a less than positive note but, I knew this one was going to be lengthy and people's attention spans short. I lied, I will say this...I left very happy and satisfied and NOT smelling of grease! In summary, GO!
