Did someone say The Best Fish in Town? Oh yeah...that was me :)…read more The Anchor is a quintessential neighborhood staple serving Irish Pub vibes for decades. Some lot parking behind, but mostly street parking in this walkable foodie neighborhood. The moment you walk in you smell the beef tallow, malt vinegar, and gravy that makes you smile! The staff are hustling around the space making sure you have everything you need! Order at the register and then get sat in the dining room! It's a tight fit, but it makes for a more cozy and communal feel! The fish and chips is a SIZEABLE serving, and oh so tasty! I've also been known to go for the Fish Bap, their take on a fish sandwich, with a slightly smaller portion of fish, for when I'm a bit less hungry. The poutine is top notch, with salty gravy, creamy cheese, and an appropriate assortment of crunchy and drenched chips (fries for us Americans). I haven't ventured away from the fish because it's so good, but they do have other pub grub, like burgers and Shepherd's Pie, for those looking to avoid our fishy friends! Gather up a few friends, get in the mood for a Guiness, and head on over to the Anchor!

Food ordered: Clam basket- while good and the batter was nice and light, there were some hard rubbery clams in the mix. **Hand cut fries are a plus- coleslaw- not a fan.** Walleye was fantastic- the fish just melted in my mouth and wasn't fishy at all.

Really fantastic, well-cared-for little restaurant. Other reviews mentioned limited seating and…read morethat's true, but we didn't have any issues since we went on a Wednesday night. We had the clams, waffle fries, regular fries, cod, and halibut. I basically have no complaints about anything. We also had the tartar sauce and MN sauce. If I were to go again, I would just get the waffle fries. They are better than the regular fries. The MN sauce was a nice change in flavor, but the real star of the show is the tartar sauce, and that is what we used the most. The fish was great. The batter was amazing and it wasn't overly battered. My wife and I both agreed that the halibut is probably not worth the extra cost. When we go again, we will likely just get cod, or maybe walleye. Service was nice. It seems to be a family-owned restaurant and they seem to run it well. Overall, this is really just an amazing place. It is very expensive, but I was expecting that for fish so I was mentally prepared. I believe we spent about $50 for everything, which is definitely a pretty penny, but again we were prepared and knew the halibut was a premium. I would highly recommend checking them out. I am planning to go back!

The restaurant has a dozen or so tables but every table was full when I went to pick up my order. They had a quick wait despite making each order fresh. Another customer waiting on their order mentioned the fish was really good so I was excited to try it for myself. They weren't kidding! It was a very good fish fry. I had the perch dinner which had a delicate yet crunchy batter. The waffle fries were crispy and had a flavorful seasoning. I ordered the MN sauce on the side that is unique and hard to tell what's in it. It's citrusy with a hint of spice. I would skip this sauce and stick to tartar sauce but worth a try if you are looking for something different.

They were still busy but not busy to where you felt overwhelmed and couldn't have a conversation without yelling. If you are on the fence on wanting an appetizer, I would suggest the Kung Pao Calamari. It was very good! Just the right amount of sweat heat! The glazed salmon was very good. The apple shallot glaze was amazing and you could taste it with every bite. The prime rib was delicious and melted in your mouth with every bite! The lobster tail was good but I personally could have done with a little more flavor. To end the meal we decided to split the salted Carmel gelato and it was the perfect way to end our meal.

Continually amazing!…read more We stopped in here the other night for the tried and true fish and chips. O'Brien's Public House always has some of the best fish... however you like it. My husband got the fish tacos for the first time and loved them.. It was a really healthy portion and even had some leftovers. I stuck with my favorite, the cod & chips,these are always amazing! Our server was very friendly and it was a pretty slow night but great service overall. Can't wait to stop back again and enjoy even more food!

I live in Shakopee and have gone to this pub many times. the food is o.k. not wonderful but…read moreadequate. However today has caused me to give O'Brien's one star and believe me if it were possible I'd give them -1. I was supposed to meet six of my friends here today for St Patrick's Day. Our car got struck and we did not arrive until 1 1/2 hours late. We were so late that we would have just had a drink had we known there was a time limit on the table BUT our waitress, Addison 8, did not mention this and took our meal order leisurely. Just after we were served she announced to the table that we all had to leave in 15 minutes. I said I assumed it did not apply to us as we had not even started to eat. she told us it applied to all of us. She told us if I was not happy about this I could speak to the Manager. I told her I would like to. then she said I could speak to her instead but I told her I wanted to speak to the Manager. No Manager ever materialized. I probably will never go to this restaurant again. I know times are tough and I don't object to time limits on tables BUT if a customer is very late the least a server should do is let them know there is a very limited time left for them to eat BEFORE they order $70 worth of food and drinks. I will be sure to mention this matter to my friends and as I have stated i will make sure I give my other regular restaurants the business I gave O'Briens. '

Holy Jucy Lucy, this place is promising you an absolute gem of a time…read more To skip the long wait, I went to the defaced-dollar-covered bar downstairs with a bowling alley that screams "make a memory here". I'm not really the expert on Jucy Lucys but damn was this the place to get them at. Lovely people that treat you like a friend, great beer, and a burger that... for lack of a better term... EXPLODES cheese in your mouth. It was getting to a point where I tried to dissect the patty to see how could they fit that much cheese in there. What really blew me away was the new item: DILL PICKLE CHEESE CURDS. DO NOT SKIP ON THIS! Although it will last about .5 seconds on the table, it will make you remember it for weeks afterwards. This was the place that made me think I could live behind the bowling alley. Fun, casual, cool, friendly... everything the Twin Cities is.

Although, spacing was a smidge tight, you didn't really feel it once you settled in. Our server was kind and very attentive. We asked a few questions, and they were kind about it.

The wings were pretty good. My favorite was the cheese curds, the spicy spin was nice, and it had a decent enough kick for me to not need to add hot sauce.

My husband and I have been here multiple times and each time we typically order the Commander's platter with Boom Boom sauce (mix of all the other flavors) with Fire spiciness.

We'll throw in some broccoli, smoked sausage, and order a side of rice to round the meal out. Everything is always seasoned perfectly and there's enough to enjoy leftovers the next day too. With the maritime decor, delicious food, and friendly service, we'll be coming here for a while!
