This is a tiny little spot. Much smaller than expected nothing wrong with that but felt lucky to grab a spot at some bar seats. Got drinks and a salad with fries all was pretty good my only "complaint"/ recommendation would to have an aioli type sauce to go with the truffle fries. They were good without but would be great with the aioli. Service was pretty good if it was pretty good and have no complaints Didn't know what kind of food/ price points we were going into cause there was only one half pic of the menu on yelp and the website wasn't working and found out it's mostly sandwiches which is fine just not what we were looking for. But over all I feel like everything was fairly priced and nice lol spot to go out to read more

They have changed the menu‍ and the food is NOT what it used to be! Very disappointed! Don't plan on going back!

Very impressed by this tiny spot! My husband and I ended up here after trying to go to their sister restaurant (The Oysterman) around the corner but the wait was too long. I'm glad we discovered this gem instead! We were immediately impressed by the cocktails after our first sips! I got the spicy cucumber martini and my husband got the sweet tea old fashioned. We both commented on how they tasted much better than your average cocktail. You can tell there was a lot of thought and care put into the drink menu. Then we shared a bowl of clam chowder, which was a generous portion size and a larger bowl than expected. It was pretty good; not too thin and not too thick. For my lunch entree, I ordered the fish & chips. They were fantastic! Also a generous portion size, with a lovely thick batter and delicious fries. My husband got the fried chicken sandwich and it was HUGE. I would definitely recommend checking this spot out for at least a cocktail, if nothing else! :) read more

Friendly service and great food sum this place up. Atmosphere is warm, welcoming and family friendly

Just in town to catch up with a friend. Stopped here for a beer. Saw a menu and ordered a blackened swordfish at the bar. My two buddies ordered the same. What a catch! Pun intended. The owner bartender said the fish was caught the day before and cut up fresh. The spices were perfect for the blackening. Asparagus and couscous a great accompaniment. A simple but cozy place. Great portions and exceptional experience. read more

The Anchor - Blackened swordfish was fresh and delicious - New American Near Me - Duxbury, Massachusetts

We love to eat at the Anchor. Great food always fresh and timely. Thanks for your cleanliness too. That is important to us.

What a surprised this place was. The service was top notch, as was the food. We had the chickens tenders and they were the best my husband and I have ever had. Will definitely go out of our way to come back. read more

Tried for the first time today 8/13 Food was delicious and staff was excellent Leah took really good care answering all of our questions and recommended an appetizer that was delicious. Will definitely come back! We ordered drinks had chicken wings cooked crispy with extra hot sauce chicken and avocado egg roll for appetizers and there ranch sauce is amazing definitely tastes homemade. Hubby had a burger as well special sauce was delicious think gourmet Big Mac for desert was a chocolate chip ice cream sandwich enough for two. We will recommend to friends and family can't wait to come back Restaurant was intimate about seven tables with two bar areas very clean Nice music and staffed. read more

I had a group visiting the Duxbury area, and called in advance of their arrival. The General Manager helped me. When I asked if he would be able to accommodate a group order order 15 minutes before the restaurant opened, he happily said he would do it. He gave me his phone number and the name of another person at the restaurant who could help me if he was not in the building. He appeared eager to help. When I called the restaurant the day the order was needed, no one answered. Voice messages were left, requesting a call back to place an order. No one ever called back. In the end, the group I had waiting for food had to find and go to another restaurant....a huge inconvenience, and very disappointing outcome after spending so much time to plan the meal at The Anchor. In short, while the food looks original and inviting, I would not recommend trying to order any food from this restaurant as a call in order or to be delivered. read more

If you are looking for a fantastic burger, some crispy ( and huge) chicken tenders, and a pretty incredible wine list, all served by a kind and attentive staff then The Anchor should be your go-to. Why did they lose one star you may ask: whoever is setting the heat to Texas in the summertime needs their thermostat permissions revoked. It was hot enough that instead of staying for another drink, we escaped into the crisp New England winter air for a reprieve. read more

At one time this was my "go to" spot but my last two meals have been VERY disappointing! They are definitely cutting corners on food. Will not be returning! read more

The food was great. Friendly service. The appearance does not reveal the fantastic presentation and details to spice level in the cooking.

Grabbed some take out for lunch at the beach. Very quick service and easy pick up upon arrival. They make it so you dont need to come into contact with someone else while picking up during the pandemic. The pulled pork sandwich was delicious. Decent portion of pork in the sandwich. The thanksgiving type sandwich was interesting. There seemed to be something off in the flavorings. Both myself and my friend had some of it and felt the same. read more

Good burritos to take out and go to the beach or on the boat. Usually very quick. Limited seating but not usually a wait, although I haven't been there for dinner. read more

Back again after a nice round of golf at the North Hill Country Club. Great service. Quaint and comfortable atmosphere with awesome attentive service. This time ordering the buffalo cauliflower (again) and fish & chips. Both were cooked perfectly, excellent and absolutely delicious. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend. read more

Good seafood fair prices went for lunch with the kids . Everybody found something on the menu they liked

Yummy breakfast! Went on a Sunday morning and was surprised there was no wait. Good service, clean and appealing decor. I will say the hash browns were the best I've ever had by a long shot. One thing the menu could use was fresh avocado. The guac was very creamy & cold - personally wasn't a fan. read more

The frickles. The fried cod. The fries. Anything fried, really. Excellent beer selection, has a counter service vibe, but the candid, cordial staff are definitely the "sit, crack open a Cloud Candy and stay awhile" type. It was agreed my killer cod pile looked a lot more photogenic besides a heaping pile of Caesar salad, as opposed to the thin cut, nicely browned frites, so feel free to ditch the spuds on the must-get fish and chips. Stellar plate. When we left, I wanted to go back immediately. I'm there right now. They aren't event open. Don't call the cops. read more

Nice selection of sandwiches, make your own burritos and burrito bowls. In the past the wait was very long (even for a coffee) but they have their ducks in a row this year so I'd definitely be back. This is a sandwich called The Coach - grilled chicken, roasted red peppers, spinach and a few other ingredients. Got a side of fries which frankly taste homemade (very good - potato-y) read more

The Anchor - The Coach sandwich with a side of fries. - New American Near Me - Duxbury, Massachusetts

We decided to check this place out after a visit to Duxbury beach. Very cute inside. They did a great job with a small space. Menu isnt extensive. I mean that because their 1 page menu includes their breakfast, lunch and dinner options. Hubby ordered a beer and I ordered a delicious rum drink from their menu. Yummy! We were not hungry but felt we should try something so we got the buffalo bites. They were good. They are adding a deck this summer which that and the rum drink will be nice! Next we are going to try Oysterman. I'm pretty sure they are same owners but Oystermans menu looks more of what I look for. read more

The Anchor - Cauliflower buffalo bites - New American Near Me - Duxbury, Massachusetts

Food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Just a super and diverse menu for lunch and dinner.

Nice small bar/restaurant with an interesting sandwich menu. I had the Gerry which was steak tips with banana peppers and Swiss on a French roll. It was terrific. The meat was perfectly cooked and the flavors were wonderful. read more

The fish and chips gave me food poisoning! The service was excellent though. The waitress was very friendly :)

We mostly do take out and the food is very consistent. Staff is always nice. Would love to see some seasonal change to the menu but it is overall a great option. read more

I took my cave women and her aunt to lunch here. We were very happy we did. You must must try the cheese burger and the fish and chips. Even in COVID times the service was spot on They had one of my favorite beers Allagash White. The Anchor gets the 5th star because of the way they handled the social distancing. (We didn't have to wait long.) If you're in Duxbury, check it out. read more

Pretty good. Seems like it was more casual and now it serves a normal range of food. We got 3 beers, a salad, an entree and app for $70. Our waitress was very nice. We had frickles to start- homemade and piping hot. The Cajun chicken salad was great- I wanted steak tips but they were out of stock. My husband got the swordfish over rice pilaf. Bathroom was very clean. read more

We have been to The Anchor several times and have had great experiences each time. The food is excellent and the customer service is exemplary. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that our meal and experience are first rate. We will be back and we recommend The Anchor to anyone who is looking for a nice evening out in Duxbury. read more

I had "The Coach" chicken sandwich with fries. Delicious. I had a very refreshing beer, later in the day my mother-in-law offered me an alcoholic beverage at dinner by saying "you don't want another beer do you because that's probably not a good idea." NO CHANGING TABLE which kind of sucks but they are a new place so maybe they'll fix that. read more

Hidden gem on the way to the Winsor House in Duxbury. Stopped in for a late lunch on the way back from an appointment. Cool set up with a full bar and some small tables. Menu isn't big, but they have a variety of higher end pub fare. I tried the fried chicken sandwich with house made chips. Very good, though I felt it was missing maybe a sweet/spicy sauce or mayo. For an appetizer, we tried the chicken avocado egg rolls. Definitely left me wanting another order. For drinks they have a full cocktail menu and local beers on tap and in bottles. I tried the house made margarita. Description said they make their own sour mix and you can tell; it was fresh rather than that bottled, chemically tasting sour mix you find at your local liquor store. Bonus scene: watching the manager/owner(?) taking Instagram pics of various dishes at different angles. read more

I love this little place!! Best wings, creative cocktails, the manager is hands on and attentive, it's definitely worth the wait!

Great new spot! We had a wonderful lunch here today. The food was very good. I had a spinach salad with a spattering of quinoa, thinly sliced apples, cut purple grapes, it tasted fresh and healthy. My little one had a grilled cheese with carrot sticks, there was also the option of fruit--love these healthy options! The service was friendly and welcoming. Love the decor--modern rustic with a nautical nod. I'll be back soon for for breakfast/brunch, as well as for dinner to try their hand-crafted cocktails and entrées. read more

We ordered a lot everything finger/bowl licking good, we got the chicken avocado egg rolls, clam chowder which was the soup of the day, high hook and the coach. The egg rolls were plump and delicious. The clam chowder was delicious, no skimping on the clams. The only complaint might be that the sandwiches were so flavorful that I couldn't taste the fish in the hook and the fish was falling apart, which wasn't even that bad. They were able to make mocktails for us, which were so tasty, not watered down. The staff are nice, recommended us great food, thank you for the great service, checked in on us without being overbearing. Thank you for a lovely meal! Definitely would go again when in the area! read more

Incoming ! I realized the menu was updated and spotted "The Dragon" ( sausage , pepper , and onion" . One of the best sandwiches I've had! This place never disappoints. Also they added crab rangoons to appetizers! Great decision . I have many reviews for this place because they keep getting better. read more

Absolutely delicious food! We got take out. I chose the veggie burrito bowl and another person got The Plover fried chicken sandwich. The guac and roasted veggies in the burrito bowl were outstanding! Also chose truffle fries for the side w the plover sandwich which were also excellent. We will most definitely be back! read more

My family friends and I found ourselves in Duxbury for the day and decided to stop to get a bite to eat. We initially stopped into the Oysterman to get a table and we were "greeted" by a host who notified us that there would be a wait because "yes *eye roll* we've been this busy all day", took our phone number, and honestly acted really bothered. We never received a call about our table at the Oysterman, so we decided to walk around the corner to the Anchor and we were elated at the service we received! Cheerful staff greeted us when we walked in, very helpful, made great recommendations, and the food was incredible. Overall, amazing experience and would highly recommend. Thank you to the staff at the Anchor for making our day better! read more

Love the anchor! We get takeout from here a lot because the food is great. It's a small spot, so it's not my favorite place to eat in, but the food is top notch. The drinks are also great!! read more

The bone-in wings are fantastic, and the burgers are excellent. Great spot for bar-style food

Really cute place! We had breakfast there on a Sunday and everything was delicious. Breakfast sandwich with chicken sausage was excellent. Coffee was great too. Friendly staff and nice casual contemporary atmosphere. Totally recommend. read more

Everything we ordered was great especially the buffalo cauliflower and the boneless wings which were 1/2 off on a Tuesday. Mayzee our server and after, our bartender Tracy never left us without something to sip on. Great, little restaurant/bar. Definitely going back! read more

Dynamite in every way way, decor, service and food. The fried jalapeño cornbread..... heavenly.
