Oak and Anchor Restaurant — Restaurant in North Carolina

Well, we tried the "new management" at the restaurant today. Perhaps we'll give it a few months before we visit again and hopefully they'll get settled in.

While we waited 25 minutes for the cheeseburger we were patient. Then it arrived and we were told there were no tomatoes because they were out; also apparently out of lettuce because we had spring mix on the burger; also told they were out of pickles for the burger but a sliced kosher dill was on the plate.

The cheeseburgers were ordered medium and they both came out rare. Once they were returned to the table 20 minutes later, the server told us the whole plate had been prepared new - not true. The knife slices on both burgers where we had cut into them was still there - they had just been placed on new buns because the old buns were slightly soaked with blood.

Went for their Friday night dinner and the meals were very good. My husband had the soup and prime rib and loved them both. He asked for the smaller cut of prime rib and it was huge. Cooked exactly right .... rare. I had their fish special, a barraunda, which I had never heard of before. Outstanding! Very light fish and sweet. I was given 2 fairly big pieces. Also great polenta and squash. Meals with 3 drinks were $56.00. Waitress was fantastic. Personable and on top of everything we requested. Definitely go here. We have also gone for lunch and the brunch and the food is fantastic! Love the...

Service was fantastic. My bacon cheeseburger was delicious! Tasted just like a backyard cookout burger! The french fries was very good, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Great lunch. My iced tea was very good, but $3.00?! Pricey!! I will go back, but will not order an iced tea or...
