Deep Dive

A deep dive into Anchorage Tavern Restaurant

To critique a restaurant is not an easy task. To put one's hard work in the hands of customers must make chef and it's crew on edge to know if they have make your experience a memorable one; or perhaps they have ruined your expectations. In this case, they made my choice of restaurant for that night, after searching for a combination of a dine in and family friendly near my hotel, an excellent one. I don't regret it one bit. We called ahead to make sure they were open, since Google had shown multiple restaurant that were, but weren't and had a table ready for me, lover and 'Tiny Diamond' as I call my 2 year old son. The table was ready when arrived, we took a moment to review the menu and look around. The walls were a deep shade of burgundy, and the decor were mostly beautiful old paintings. Courtney was our waitress, and she was very friendly. We order the crab bisque, because the reviews were claiming to be out of this world, and they were not lying. Chunks of crab made that creamy concoction perfectly dreamy; smooth and oh so flavorful, my palate was in heaven. I chose the German pork chops on a bed of mash potatoes, sauerkraut and brown gravy. Got chicken fingers and fries for the kid and blackened Mahi-mahi with rice for lover. The pork chops were tender and juicy, the combination of sauerkraut and brown gravy was somehow delicious, and the creaminess of the mashed potatoes made an explosion of flavors, I'm still savoring it. The Mahi-mahi was perfectly cooked and so was the rice. The fish was covered with some kind of mix of sauce and peppers and tomatoes; It was like a Fiesta on a plate. Even the chicken fingers and fries was excellent, a dish so simple and yet so many manage to screw it. But not here. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the crispy crust held most of the flavor, that kept my 2 year old asking for more, and that was a win for me. The portions were abundant and the prices were very good. I had no more room otherwise I would have order dessert or coffee, and with that said, I'm confirming that this place has become my favorite down the shore. Courtney was awesome, she kept coming to our table, making sure we were ok, and the service was amazing from other staffers as well, very friendly. I would not only recommend this place, I seriously say you have to stop here. In my book this place deserves more than 5 stars, not only for their excellent food, but also for the exceptional customer service. I would definitely come back here hungry for more.

A Memorable Dining Experience at The Anchorage I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Anchorage in Somers Point, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the fried lobster, which was nothing short of out of this world. The lobster was cooked to perfection, with succulent meat and a crispy, flavorful coating that left me craving more. What impressed me even further was the generous portion size, as I was pleasantly surprised to receive not just one, but two mouthwatering lobster tails. It was a true seafood lover's dream come true for $35 One of the aspects that sets The Anchorage apart is its variety of sides to accompany the main course. The ability to choose from a range of options allowed me to personalize my meal, enhancing the overall dining experience. The attention to detail and commitment to culinary excellence were evident in every bite. The ambiance at The Anchorage is second to none. With both outdoor and indoor dining areas, there is something for everyone. I opted for the outdoor seating, which provided a picturesque view overlooking the water. It was the perfect backdrop for a leisurely meal, and the calming atmosphere added an extra touch of enjoyment. The popularity of The Anchorage is well-deserved. From the moment I arrived, the restaurant was buzzing with energy, and it remained packed throughout my visit. Despite the crowd, the service was prompt, and the staff was attentive and friendly. It's clear that the team at The Anchorage knows how to create a welcoming and inviting atmosphere for their guests. I was also pleased to find that the pricing at The Anchorage is competitive, offering exceptional value for the quality of food and service provided.

We drove 2.10 hrs (Rahway, NJ) to eat here! My husband and I watched the episode on food network. The first thing we said, it better be worth the drive. Lol Well it sure heck it was!! The restaurant is a Victorian style house, gorgeous! I was anxious to see the inside and didn't disappoint! The decor and pictures from 1920s were awesome! Now the food. The menu has plenty selections but we were there for the seafood. For appetizers we ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms and calamari, the sauce that came with the calamari was amazing! Knowing we fell in love with the appetizers we were anxious to have the entrée. But the waitress then brought our salad and bread. We ordered the gorgonzola flounder! Oh my goodness! The sides were also great! I did not want to leave anything on that plate, and didn't. I was so stuffed that when we left, we had to walk! The staff were very friendly and what I loved is that the owner came around to ask each table how they were doing and are they enjoying the food, AHHHH YEAH! LOL Absolutely returning!

The Anchorage has been a staple in Somers Point for a long time. It has been a favorite gathering spot for locals to meet in off season & visitors in summer. Recently, for a birthday celebration the staff were so kind & gracious with our special guest. Lucky enough to seat on the porch added to the event that made the okay meal nicer. Our server were terrific. Selections included: Broiled scallops with linguine in wine sauce on side; Bacon cheese burger; Rack of Ribs. The scallops were a overcooked over a nice sauce. Since the linguine had none I poured it over the pasta to make my own sauce. The burger was overshadowed by huge bun but was told it was ok. The BBQ Ribs were good but not great. Many remember when the Anchorage was rated as one of the best seafood restaurants in the area. I'm sorry to report it's slipped in this reviewer's eyes over last few visits. Thank you to the servers who made the birthday very special for the special person at our table. You were all grand!

This location is fantastic! The service, ambiance, and food were all top-notch. It was a work lunch, otherwise, I would have loved to try one of the many beers on tap. I really wish I lived closer, I'd definitely make this place a regular haunt.

The Anch is like a cozy old sweater, dependable and consistent. The menu is huge and there's something for everyone. If I'm ever having trouble deciding, I settle on my old standard, the wedge salad and a bowl of crab soup. Their crab soup is the best on the east coast, hands down. Their take on a wedge salad includes thin sliced and fried crispy onions that elevate the simple standard to another level. We usually eat at the bar, but decided to sit in the dining room after a busy day. She was all lit up for Christmas, I guess I forget that this great bar with phenomenal food is really a lovely old Victorian. Other favorites that I highly recommend: crab dip, meatball ricotta, fajita wrap, Buffalo chicken sandwich and the gorgonzola flounder.
