Not wanting to…read morespend close to $100 for our meal (planning to have a couple drinks, as well) we pivoted to sharing one lobster roll and one order of fish tacos. Being residents of NYC, I don't recommend coming here and ordering a $35 lobster roll. (Sticker shock is something I rarely experience, but I did that day.) It's a decent lobster roll, but I just think $35 is too high. That being said, the tacos were very tasty - I do recommend them at $17. Ultimately, buy a lobster. They were $13/lb (I believe), which is a very fair price. Eat your lobster with a beautiful view, and if you choose, grab a drink from the bar. (It was BYOB forever, and now it is not - ah well!) I'm sticking with 5 stars for the lobster, the view, and the nostalgia. Enjoy!

Omg, so very delicious. I am a huge sausage snob and eat 90% local. Sad to say most local sausages that I've tried have been on the lean side, so they cook up on the dry side. These sausages were juicy and very flavorful. The lamb sausage was out of this world, the hot Italian was perfect and the n'duja was a fantastic flavor-bomb. Broad Arrow meats are by far some of the best around. Once the new space is finished, I will happily drive the 45 minutes to dine there. I can't wait! Sigh...

It's well worth a side trip if you are passing through, and always a great destination for a really good meal!

On this visit we enjoyed the Anchor several times during our stay, for dinner, as well as a couple of happy hours. The front was very welcoming every time we went, when we reserved a table our server, Madison was friendly, knowledgeable, and even humored us by singing Happy Birthday to my wife in Spanish (with company lol). Other visits we ate at the bar and Andrea always kept our drinks and the conversation flowing - it was very enjoyable every time. Regardless of eating at a table or at the bar, the food was delicious every time. Over the course of four visits we had scallops, haddock, halibut and a pork chop - all prepared deliciously with nice presentation. My personal favorite was the grilled romaine salad which I three of four times - so good! We have eaten at the Anchor in the past and thought it was ok, but this season it really seemed together. Even when the restaurant was busy (happy hour) service was equal to the task and seemed to keep everyone happy and the quality of food and speed of service was excellent. I recommend you try this place (or try it again) if you are looking for something more upscale than a lobster on the dock and don't want to drive into town. Nice people and delicious food - thank you.

Was rather plain...not even enough lighting as it started to get dark. Felt a bit like a roadside clam shack. Doesn't need much - maybe some flowers, better lighting, etc. Food was good but guests were a bit disappointed with menu options. Figured with the word "sole" in the name, you could get some good, non-fried fish. But no sole, or halibut/swordfish/snapper/etc. we ended up with pizza and mussels (I think?). Both were good, but would've liked more "seafood restaurant" options.

It's exactly where you would want to get your seafood from: out of a tiny shack right by the water, enjoyed on a picnic table. Maybe I'm getting better at my lobster-cracking, or these were a lot easier to eat! I was told that they have soft-shell and hard-shell lobster. With the platter, you'll also get a large ear of corn, dinner roll and cole slaw. And lemme tell ya.... It's A LOT of food!! But you can get it by itself or substitute sides, as well.
