Tried this place for lunch and couldn't have been more disappointed. The rudest waiter I've ever had -- telling me to smile more and take off my sunglasses when I sent the french fries back as too limp and cold. He lied through his teeth and said they were "made to order." They did provide a new batch of fries which was at least warm and a little crisper but still the worst fries I've ever eaten. Wrong temperature, garbage oil, not sure what the problem was but they were awful. Really the mail waiter was a narcissistic, snotty brat and I can't understand why he's working there. Also the food portions were tiny but the prices sure weren't. Give this place a hard pass. read more

The food is great, but the folks working make the place great! Nothing else to say......The Anchor is one of our go-to places!

9/10 They had amazing food, service, and they gave us our food fast. Service: The service was perfect, nothing wrong with it, we also got to see the cook and we were able to thank him for the amazing food. Our appetizers came almost instantly and our food came shortly after. The service was excellent, better than a lot of restaurants, and I would definitely come here again. Food: Now for the food, starting with the 3 appetizers I got. I got motserella sticks and calamari as I usually get. The motserella sticks were standard and the calamari was better than other places I've been to. I also decided to try raw oysters. They tasted amazing! I say the appetizers were great! For my entree, I got the Blackened Chicken and Bacon Sandwich (I think that's what it's called) It was a sandwich with delicious chicken with a sauce on it, lettuce, Bacon, and tomato. It tasted incredible. I feel like the lettuce had a bit too much texture, but the meal was still amazing! Everyone should definitely go to this excellent family owned sea food place located at the Flagler Beach if you have not already. You can eat amazing food and look at the wonderful beach view. 9/10 (5/5 Stars) P.S. Unfortunately, I did not get dessert or coffee. Also forgot to mention as this is a family owned restaurant, there are reasonable prices. Also, we (I)were a 7 guest party. read more

I've had very good meals here, but lately it is hit or miss. Every other visit it's just not good. Tonight we spent $100 before tip for barely edible Buffalo shrimp (we were starving and still couldn't eat the tiny previously frozen, tough shrimp buried in batter - awful). Our entrees were mediocre (we've ordered these before with different results). Even the drinks, cucumber lime martinis, tasted terrible. Maybe it will be good again, maybe it will be greasy yuck like tonight. We won't be playing Russian roulette with our dining dollars to find out. read more

Best drinks ever! Hand crafted quality at a reasonable price! And there's Happy Hour too! Very reasonable prices! Great early bird specials 11 am to 6 pm Best service...what a pleasant waiter we had...perfect! Oysters raw were delicious...all salad dressings were made from scratch. Easy lot parking...great ocean view and the best lobster Mac and cheese I ever had... delicious This place was spotless and clean too!! read more

My wife and I knew nothing about Flagler Beach, but we wanted to eat dinner there. We read a few positive reviews about the Anchor restaurant and thought we would give it a try. First thing we noticed was how quaint it was inside. We were instantly greated by our waitress who was very pleasant and fun. For an appetizer we had oysters Rockefeller. All I can say is wow. They we fresh, hot and delicious. For our main courses I had seafood potpie and my wife had a seafood pasta (Americana). Again, fresh , hot and clearly made from scratch. Out meals were delicious. This was a very good experience and I highly recommend. read more

I really liked the view of the beach and the ocean. I ordered stuffed large shrimp that really were just shrimp topped with a crab cake, it was pretty good. The calamari we ordered for an appetizer was average. read more

Went exited about the Trigger fish and was very disappointed, asked for the salsa but when the bartender finally checked on me I was half finished, baked potato was cold, if your no a local good luck!! read more

A place with Old Florida flair and real fresh seafood and the best server in the house "Ashley". The Triggerfish was phenomenal. Loud, busy and casual with an energy of its own. This is a rare gem. It's what really good restaurants used to be like and they deliver on the plate. read more

Food was excellent fish was great just a nice place to eat and relax other sandwiches were very tasty

First time here my friend suggested coming here Diana has been here many times she loves it. Monday special but all the special looks good the server was so nice and the food was amazing I always pass by this place I'm glad my friend suggested coming here. I'll come back read more

We went here for the first time for my Daughters 17th birthday and it is now a favorite! My daughter goes there all the time for their crab legs by herself . Food was absolutely amazing and the service was spectacular! Nothing bad to say ! read more

Extremely average food but I didn't expect much from this place to begin with. We got the stuffed flounder and linguine in garlic butter sauce (without the seafood) and side salads. The side salads were fine but the tomatoes weren't great. The pasta needed lots of salt, pepper and Parmesan to make to good and it was swimming in sauce. The fish was really overcooked and not worth paying extra to have it stuffed. Atmosphere is ok and similar to most beach side places but service was good. read more

Menu offerings reminds me of New England. Server was very attentive and friendly. I love the whole fried clams

I had an unfortunate lunch experience. My beer, an oatmeal porter needed to have the keg changed. It took about 15+ minutes to change. Part way through the wait she came back and offered a Yuengling that was on special. I accepted the substitution but she never delivered it. Eventually the porter arrived. Kitchen was slow. Food arrived well after the above mentioned beer. My order specified not to include specific ingredients that were in the dish delivered to the table, so I sent it back. Eleven minutes later, version 2 arrived. The bottom of the wrap was burnt black. This time I escalated to the manager in the front and later to a more senior manager who was checking tables. The third version was correct, warm and, to their credit, not included on the bill without me asking for an adjustment. The place was crowded and my wife's Po Boy was good, so I have to conclude my experience was not the norm. read more

A must when you are in Flagler. Very accommodating and friendly staff. The food is really good and fresh. Grilled fish tacos, WOW!

Good friends recommended The Anchor and we went for one of the daily special dinners. Friendly staff, good service and great food! I highly recommend it! read more

A great place on the A1A, but really noisy. Service was spot on and the food was a little pricey. I had the seafood platter - fried haddock (1) thin piece of fish / (6) medium shrimp and (2) medium scallops with two sides = $26.95. I enjoyed the lightly battered seafood, but the price point was a much for haddock. read more

The Anchor - Busy Friday night-main dining - Seafood Near Me - Flagler Beach, Florida

A nice location with decent decor and fresh fish is undermined by questionable entertainment and indifferent staff. On my first trip I had salmon with zucchini, both were delicious. On my second, a fried haddock with French fried potatoes and coleslaw, the haddock was fresh but the fried crust came off immediately, and the fries were gushy. The coleslaw was entirely average, and lacked flavor. I wish my server would've given me more than two curt words or I may have asked for some condiments. Which brings me to the worst part of the location, wait staff in a morose frenzy, power walking with their heads down, ignoring me (perhaps because I'm not 60+ like most of their guests they decided I wouldn't tip?), and generally being indifferent at best and rude at worst. Even as I pulled into the parking lot for my first trip there, I was immediately asked (rudely) by a worker there "So what happened?!?", having never seen or spoken to her in my life. confused, I reply "what?", and she keeps going on about an order for some time before realizing I had nothing to do with it. No apologies or a simple "have a nice meal", she struts off to the back door. I will not be returning. read more

Amazing food great service had the lamb flank with mash potatoes and broccoli. Elsa was an excellent server and gave great recomendation.

EW!! We ordered whole belly clams for the table and we got 10 clams that were so stinking tiny and just a bunch of batter crumbs on the bottom to make it look like a lot of clams($20). They were ridiculously small. I got the chowder which tasted like Snows and bake stuffed shrimp..there were 8 on the plate as shown in the photos but the shrimp were like small cocktail shrimp that were spread and hidden under stuffing. The shrimp were 1 bit each ($30), 1 ball of stuffing would have covered all the shrimp put together. My husband had the crab cakes which he said had no crab taste whatsoever. The waitress was terrible, she disappeared..we had to yell to get her as she flew by. She forgot to bring our chowders, never got our salads, didn't check to see how we were doing. Someone at our table sent her clams back. This was the worse meal and service I have ever had in my 60 years and worse espresso martini i've ever had! How is this place so busy that you can't get in without a reservation..anyway here comes the worst of it. I started feeling sick about 1 am and by 4 I was up vomiting and had severe diarrhea(sorry, truth needs to be told). This went on for 2 1/2 hours. This place was disgusting and a total waste of $100..right down the toilet(literally). Makes me wonder if the people that have gone once ever go back or is it new tourists passing through that don't know any better...anyway, if you want to risk it..good luck read more

What a gem. Great atmosphere. Food was really good. Doesn't seem like a place that would have amazing martinis, BUT they did! Waitress was hilarious. Owner was there making sure all was good and the employees spoke highly of him. The clam chowder was the best I have ever had. Everyone was working f their butt off to make sure the customers were happy. Will definitely return! read more

We had the belly clams, one entree and one appetizer size, very good! We are New Englanders, so were happy to find belly clams!

Absolutely the best food and service!!! Ask for Natasha!!! You'll be happy you did!! Great. Food service and atmosphere!!!! read more

We love the food at this place, but their customer service skills need attention. About 2 months ago we called to get reservations at 11 a.m. and was told they could not accomodate a party that large(9 adults & 3 children) and that we would have to come aftet12:00. We get together as a family weekly. When doing lunch we have to go early because of Nap times. We of course chose another restaurant. My wife spoke with the new owner, who never apologized and said she would get back, but of course never did. The next time we just showed up, they reluctantly seated us and the server Ashley explained that she was the only one there until 12. She did an excellent job taking care of us even though she was overwhelmed with other tables. We were there about last Sunday with a party of 6 adults and 3 children and was rudely turned away. The hostess said they couldn't take care of us, even though we were the only ones there, and no one else waiting. I emailed the owner and she implied that it was our fault because we didn't call ahead. Remember we were told previously that they didn't take reservations. My wife and I have been in there a couple of times since and listen to them turn customers away because they didn't have reservations!! My family loves the food at the Anchor, when we can get in. The new owner obviously is not involved in day to day operations. She is using the excuse of not having enough help. I worked in the casual dining restaurant industry as a manager for over 40 years, and have had to wait on tables myself when was short staffed. As a owner she should be there taking up the slack herself, instead of having her staff tell customers that "we can't accomodate you". I don't care how good your food is, if you can't take care of your customers when you open, then don't open when you do. Btw shout out to to the staff at Oceanside restaurant who gladly took care of us even though they were busy. Our server there was Shelby, thank you. read more

What a great dinner tonight! The scallops, ahi tuna, coconut shrimp, clam chowder and chocolate cake were all delicious. Lisa and Karina were wonderful! Small world Lisa and I both from same Long Island town, Malverne! Looking forward to a return visit next time I'm up visiting! read more

Came here for lunch yesterday - place was somewhat dirty and not well maintained. The tables were dusty and not wiped down. Food was mediocre. I got a salad (only option I had as a vegetarian) which was OK. It was edible but the lettuce was not very fresh. My dad got the french dip which he said was OK - first bite was tough but the rest was fine. My mom really enjoyed the 21 shrimp deal. Not enough sweet potato fries to go with it though. Waitress was very friendly, and checked on us a couple times. However probably would not come back. The place did not really thrill me and the menu options for me were limited. read more

Great food! Highly recommend their crab bisque & smoked salmon dip. Service was excellent too. Definitely recommend and will be back!

We didn't know where to stop at Flagler beach and took a chance on the Anchor. I had wings and a salad and my husband had a gyro. It was very good. The inside was clean and restrooms were clean. There is no outside seating but lots of windows and views of the Atlantic Ocean. Check it out! read more

Such a nice place - the ocean view is also wonderful read more

Absolutely, positively the best restaurant we've tried yet in Flagler County. Consistently delicious food and drinks (we've tried almost everything at this point), great ambiance, and all of the staff are so friendly. The prices are totally justified. Great weekly specials, too! read more

First off, I'm a fan of Flager Beach, but that's another review. We happened park and hit the beach right in front of The Anchor, so naturally, that's where we spent a little time. First off, the bar is nice. There's more than a few good choices of craft beer, but that reminds me of a funny story. Without thinking, I ordered my go-to choices when checking out a bar -- "a beer and a shot of your well bourbon." The bartender says that they don't have any bourbon in the well; how about Jack Daniels? Substitute Jack for bourbon? This would not happen in Kentucky. Anyway, later, we have dinner here, and everybody has a good experience. I had the grilled red snapper. I'm not a fish guy, but I liked it a lot. It was lightly seasoned yet still flavorful. My daughter had the pasta alfredo, and I am not sure whether she chewed it -- it just disappeared. I guess it was good. I recommend The Anchor highly. It's right there on the beach. The prices and service are good. I don't think you can go wrong with this place. read more
