The food includes the Irish stuff you would expect, and in the past they've been great. Think fish & chips, Shepards pie (actually cottage). My friend and I had sandwiches this visit and they were great. The menu says you get chips. What you get is a generous portion of deep fried potato rounds, just a little thick. Some crunchy and some a little soft. The dill pickle... not my favorite but that's my take. Do Not skip the appetizer. The mushrooms are amazing. They are roasted or braised, and they are delicious. There are Irish beers here including Guinness, Harp, etc. or if you prefer something else there's a full bar.

Had looked forward to having Walleye fish my entire visit in Minn/Wis and I wasn't disappointed. I…read moregrew up in the area and Walleye is fished by both locals and pros. I was delighted they had it on the menu. One lady was the bartender, order taker, waitress and even bused all the tables. This is the Midwest work ethic I was raised with! She did a great job all the while maintaining a smile and good humor with the customers. Every table including the bar was filled and everybody left happy, including us. My friend had a Ruben sandwich w/ coleslaw and I had the deep fried Walleye sandwich with chips. It got real quiet while we were eating which is a good sign the food was good. The accompanying potato chips were fabulous! Never had fries done this way. They are thin like a chip but actually fried potato medallions. Definitely will come back when in the area again.

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!

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.
