Anchor's Away Cafe' Inc. — Restaurant in Spruce Pine

I’ve seen this place for a few years when staying nearby in Little Switzerland, NC. I was curious how good the seafood would be in a mountain town so far from the coast. It’s really very good. Service is prompt and caring. The atmosphere is clean, very casual…some small gestures at the nautical theme. I had a fried combo with jumbo shrimp, oysters, hush-puppies, slaw, baked potato.

It's just ridiculous when you can go to Asheville one of the most expensive areas around and pay less for more food. The portions are tiny at anchors away. $15 for ONE piece of fish and a half a tiny handful of shrimp and $3 for a drink.
