The food isn't as great as The Food Network made it out to be. The service is HORRIBLE. the women who work there are rude and act like their job is the worst place ever to be. They should be lucky they have one. You have to pay attention to how many people don't have have food. Count the tables without and add about 10 minutes to each. That's how long it will take to get your food. Make sure you bring cash because they will make you use their ATM machine to pull out cash to pay while you are also paying them to use use it. I will not return anytime soon. read more

The best place to get a great burger and fries for dirt cheap. Some of the best burgers in town and arguably the best. The atmosphere sucks and it's small and crowded but all that doesnt matter because the food is so good. The Anchor was even featured on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dive's! read more

Humm, heard so much about this place we had to check it out. A Saturday at noon may not have been the best time however. It was very busy to say the least and we had to wait for a table plus had to wait a long time for our food. The burger was very good, worth the wait. But the fries were not good. Soggy and all stuck together. Interesting decor, the server was ok and took our orders quickly. Then we waited..... Ok, been there, no need to go back. Good burgers are not that hard to find. read more

Fine burger, terrible service. Passing through on our way back to Milwaukee, stopped here for the good reviews. One of the bar tenders/servers was so rude I thought it was one of those places that was nasty to their patrons as a joke (I don't believe it is, but am still unsure). Took a significantly long time for the food to arrive. The burger was mediocre- food was hot but noting special nor anything I would recommend. Pretty bland, just a greasy burger and fries. We were charged for bacon although there was none on our burgers and the sarcastic server said he would remove the charge but didn't even after we corrected the bill with pen. Won't stop here again. read more

I'm definitely returning to the Anchor Bar when I'm back in Duluth. A short drive over the bridge into Superior is well worth the large delicious burgers and fine selection of brews. A "must eat at" when in the area. Very good service on top of all that. The bar presents an interesting decor. read more

I heard about this place while listening to WPR on a road trip up north. How convenient, we would be passing right by there at just around lunch time. Of course we had to stop! That was 3 years ago and we've gone back every year since! It's a dive bar and it's not very big so if you're a neat freak or a person that needs a lot of space this may not be the place for you. Oh and... expect to wait if you go at peak lunch time. The burgers are so good it's worth it. They grind their own hamburger meat onsite and cut their own fries. I just love this place and hope they never stop doing things the way they do them. read more

I had heard about this place so many times, and I was happy I finally got to try it! I was really excited, so I had some higher expectations, which were definitely met! Perfect sized burger, not overdone, still juicy, with great fried onions. I had the olive burger, and it was such a delicious combo. Oh, and the hand cut fries? SO good. I was full, but couldn't stop eating the rest of the fries, they are that good! Worth the extra charge. Love the atmosphere and the price of the food. My bill was less than 10 bucks, and I even had a beer with it. Oh and they serve 34 oz. beers. Amazing. I know where I'll be stopping next time I'm in Superior! read more

The burgers here are great and really creative. The basic bacon cheeseburger was spot in n and delicious, but if you want adventure the cashew burger is unique and just as delicious. Obviously I was a fan of the burgers, but what really makes this place great is their French fries, I cannot tell you the last time I had a French fry as good as the ones here. I guess the only reason it isn't a 5 out of 5 is the potato chips, they are just f I'm a bag, which I understand with the restaurant being inexpensive, but with how perfect their fries are, if they did homemade chips as well they would knock the,pm out of the park. read more

Really good burgers for a great price. Only problem is finding somewhere to sit as is always busy during lunch and dinner times.

Best burgers around. Fries if you get them hot they are amazing and by far best price for what you get anywhere. Service is usually crabby but it's always busy so can't blame them. read more

I stopped here because I saw this place on triple d. Big letdown. Got here Saturday around 12:30pm. The place was already packed. There was my group and another 2 couples waiting and looking for seats. The employees ignored all of us as they were running around busy but nobody ever got a greeting or a "I will be right with you ". We walked out after 10 mins and placed an order over the phone in our car. The burger selections are nice and some unique options. After 45 mins our food was ready for pick up. I hated the burgers, they were well done and dry. A good burger place to me serves a burger medium at most, that's where all the flavor is you never cook it all out! It was a let down , another place for the locals I guess who have nothing better to compare the food too other than franchises I guess. The only nice thing is the food was very cheap which could be why this place is so popular. Get drunk, and eat a super cheap subpar burger to fill your belly and you go home happy is what I think made this place what it is. My girlfriend gives an extra star because she was ok with the well done burger so there's that. Edit: I will try this place again if I'm ever back in the area only because Adam cared enough to respond. It's nice to know they do care and I appreciate the response. I will add one extra star for now until then thanks Adam. read more

Good burgers very reasonably priced. Nice selection of beer. It is a return to the days of greasy spoons, but I mean that in a good way. I've always been served in a timely fashion and when mistakes have been made things were made right. Is it the most courteous, friendly service in town? Go to Mickey D's if you want really friendly. Want a great burger at a great price? Head to the Anchor read more

Wow for what you pay you talk about HUGE burgers! Food is amazing, beer is cheap, fun atmosphere and cool decor. I love this place.

Something has changed here. We have stopped here for years but no more. Service is slow and unresponsive. I could deal with that if the food had been up to speed. The burger was over cooked and dry. Fries were soggy. Took an hour and 10 min to get food. Anchor bar used to be a hidden gem, that I would recommend often. No more. read more

Burgers and beer were great. It's a good place to go with a few people if you're looking for something cheap with high quality. If you're looking for good service this isn't your place. Servers come off very snappy. Remember it's cash only! 4 stars only because of the service. Food and beer were 5 stars. Recommend trying it if you're in the area. read more

This is the go-to place for cheap food, cheap beer, and an interesting experience in Superior/Duluth. Their burgers are freshly pattied, the fries are cut minutes before going into the fryer, and the beer comes cold. The jalapeno burger is my choice, and if you ask they can add hot sauce on it if you like it extra spicy. The service can be hit or miss depending on how busy it is, but you don't love the Anchor for the service. If you are looking for an exceptional burger with fries and a pitcher of beer for under $10 (yes $10!!), the Anchor is the place to be. Come with an open mind and enjoy! read more

A complete dive but the burger was fantastic and so was the service. The best $10 I may have ever spent for a burger, fries and a beer!!! I will go back each and every time I am in Superior, WI. read more

Very good food, the burgers are excellent...... very shitty service which ruins the whole experience.

The Anchor Bar's burgers may be cheap but are no better than any other bar burger. The place is dirty and the waitresses are rude. There is no charm in being sworn at. If you don't mind dirty walls, floors, and waitresses swearing at you , then this is the place. In my opinion, all hype. read more

Great burgers, awesome fries and the best prices! Everything you would expect from a dive bar. I'll be back!

What is there to say! You can't get a better burger. Unique bar with unique seating. A no frills place with no frill pricing. Everyone is welcome at the anchor! A landmark of the people. read more

Amazing burgers, hand cut fries, and affordable prices. One of the best dive bars for food I have ever been to. We love the nautical theme and sitting in the crank up captains chairs. Very simple menu, but most people come for the burger baskets. The Anchor Burger is a must try, but the olive burger is my personal favorite. read more

was a little skeptical before entering but i'm glad we went it , great & tasty unique burgers for a great price !! also super cool decorations and unique artifacts that were super cool !! staff was average but overall highly recommend!! read more

This is one of the best hamburgers I have ever ate. I was visiting from Texas and can say I will defiantly be back the next time I am in town. The atmosphere inside was unique and the service was great. There was no doubt the food was freshly made. read more

Walked in wasn't sure whether or not to seat myself or to wait as none of the waiters decided to greet us but instead just glance for a second. We found a table and waited to be served by our waiter. Our waiter approached us and was extremely rude and showed no respect for us. We ended up leaving and going to V.I.P down the street because of this. The place is very rundown and their menu is far from spectacular and the menu itself explains what kind of service you will be expecting. "Bad." I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, I was told by 3 different people to try it and to my surprise I was extremely disappointed by the quality of the restaurant and customer service that was so poorly handled. I came up to Wisconsin from Florida to try this and I will never recommend this to anyone who wants a decent bite to eat and decent service. read more

I just moved to the area and was told about how good the burgers were when getting my nails done. Finally had the chance to try them and was not disappointed! The best burger I've had in this area and the prices are more than reasonable. I would definitely recommend going here and I also saw they do take out so you can enjoy these juicy burgers in the comfort of your own home. read more

Love the food- best burgers in town! Great prices for what you get. A bit crowded at times, but the atmosphere is fun and laid back. The boat decorations are cool. One of my favorite places. read more

Great dive bar, with unbelievable cheeseburgers. Hard to describe the atmosphere besides saying it is the most divey of the divey, but makes you feel at home. I got the Olive Burger with green olives, cream cheese, and pickles on it. I never had something like it before, and it was delicious. Also, great low beer prices. Insane. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Duluth. read more

It's an excellent cheap eats place! Burgers and fresh French fries were delicious! Enjoyed nautical bar atmosphere!!!

A double cheeseburger, hand-cut fries, and a large Sierra Nevada tap for $7. What else do you need to know? Most everything the other reviewers have said is true (even the bad), but you must make the scene at the Anchor by 12:15 or you'll be sorry. read more

Ok, we went here after hearing from many different people what great burgers they have. If you find it necessary to eat off the floor, I do not recommend anchor bar. However, if you are looking for a good, cheap burger and fries, this is your place. It's a limited menu so don't expect lots of choices. My hubby chose the cream cheese burger with jalapeños and fried onions and I chose the bacon cheese burger with fried onions and we split. No silver wear to cut in half? No problem!! He ate half a And I ate half and then we handed them over. I had to salt the fries but other than that, yummy burgers. Decor was nautical and lots of it. Lots to look at if you don't find your date interesting. read more

Fast service prices are good my favorite the galley buster ya gotta be part python to eat but in weekends just call and pick up no room at the inn read more

Great value! my burger was good and the fries were good to. The burger was big and juicy but could have been seasoned better, just a little salt and pepper would have been the ticket. Fries were good but they were a bit limp. I'll go back read more

A no BS kind of bar! Cheap, good burgers, and hand cut fries. Don't be an Anchor Bar virgin, and be prepared to pay with cash.

Great Burger at an unbelievable price! The only reason to go to Superior, WI!

This place was a bit hard to get to with the road construction, but it is worth it!! The most expensive item on the menu is their 1 pound burger at 6 bucks. I got a Mexican burger and my hubby got the cashew burger and bleu cheese burger. Very juicy and tasty. Service is slow because it is so busy but you can't find food like this for a better value anywhere! read more

Service is honestly sooooo bad it's not even worth going. If your idea of a good time is sitting at a dirty table with flies (if you can even find an open one) and being ignored for a half hour before your order is even taken, AND having your order wrong for dinner then this is the place for you. There's plenty of other places in Superior/Duluth that have a fine burger, excellent service and order accuracy that are more worth your while. Drop your anchors elsewhere for dinner folks. read more

Best greasy spoon by far to get a burger. Prices are very reasonable and the fresh cut fries are better every time I go back. The Mushroom & Sour Cream burger is my go to! Usually packed & impossible to find seating during lunch time though. They do have overflow seating area outside fenced in on the side of their building. read more

Great burgers and fries. Vast selection of bottled beers and taps. We were there several hours and our tab was like $25. They were serving up 34 ounce beers. read more

As good as it gets for burgers, folks. Fries are tossed in the fryer within 2 seconds of being cut.
