Anchor Restaurant — Restaurant in Boothbay Harbor

Though we arrived close to closing time, our server Casey welcomed us cheerfully.

There were so many menu options, and they were surprisingly varied. At our server’s recommendation, I had the Jamaican chicken curry, and my wife had a fried haddock sandwich. The curry was delicious (not necessarily what one expects in Maine!), and my wife really enjoyed her haddock. Our accompanying side salads were extremely fresh. (Clearly didn’t come pre-made out of a bag, like some places.)

We didn’t sample anything from the bar, but it looked well-stocked.

We felt the prices at the Anchor were reasonable, and the server and manager were both helpful and sincerely friendly.

This is a casual restaurant and bar (so hard to give 5 stars for atmosphere), but it was very welcoming, and perfect for couples or families.

We look forward...

The food was absolutely delicious and the waitstaff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Absolutely amazing experience. I ordered a burger whose patty was cooked exactly as I requested it. It had a delightfully smooth cheddar cheese atop the patty, and it had a subtly favored sauce which was applied in just enough quantity to balance the comparative dryness of the bun — which was also absolutely delicious: rich but not taking away from the rest — but not enough sauce to make a mess while eating. The vegetables were crisp, fresh, flavorful and portioned out in a manner consistent with how I enjoy a burger. Absolutely one of the best restaurants I’ve eaten at — and that’s coming from a lifelong Mainer. Absolutely will eat here again if...

Spent a couple days on Booth Bay Harbor and went here TWICE! The foods is top notch without any reservations! Fantastic service also. The Ahi Tuna Nachos are a must have starter! You won’t be disappointed! Most visitors want to hit the harbor front and this little gem is just a couple minutes away. Unassuming and not flashy. Also the Haddock chowder is hands down the best in the area ( we tried all of them). This is a great dining experience you don’t want to miss. Thanks guys! We’ll be back the next time we’re...
