    I saw this place on the local news. Known for their burgers and fish fry on Friday, right up my alley! It had been on my radar and when we 'staycayed' in Duluth, I was looking forward to checking it out. It is at the top of Duluth, far from all things touristy. This is a place where the locals go! When we arrived I noticed the old beer endorsing sign and the restaurant looks like it was converted from a house. We nabbed a table right away. I'm glad we got there when we did because this small restaurant started to fill up and there was a wait not long after we arrived. I knew right away that I wanted the fish fry and my kids ordered burgers. They had a good local beer selection, too. Everyone walked away with a clean plate. It was a good experience and I felt like we discovered a gem. It was far from Grandma's and that was a good thing. When I'm traveling I love finding local joints.

    I feel bad rating this place. To start off it is super clean and nicely decorated. We loved it walking in. Staff was super pleasant and helpful. Menu was great! We ordered onion rings for an app, I ordered the burger with Boursin cheese on it and husband ordered the fried cod. It took awhile but our burger and fish came out. I was confused as to why the onion rings didn't come out and the waitress said the staff forgot to make them. I asked if we could just cancel them as we already had our main meal. She said they were already being made so we couldn't. That is fine, but then comp them. It isn't our fault your staff didn't make them. Burger wasn't really impressive at all. I opened it and they forgot the cheese. I gave up and just seasoned it with salt and pepper as it seemed really really bland. Again, the waitress apologized for the kitchen staff. Husbands fish was kinda funny. We shop Costco and often get the beer battered cod in the freezer section.....that is exactly what came out! I cracked up. It's a little place, of course they are going to buy it frozen..but it was still funny. He tried to act like he wasn't disappointed, but you could totally tell he was. Would I recommend this place given our visit? No. Other people seem to really love it, so maybe we just hit it on a bad Saturday. Who knows. My rating is for my visit of course.

    Discovered this establishment on a Man vs Food episode so had to try while I was in town. The bar/restaurant is bright and clean. The bartender recommended a couple items and we were very impressed. I had the mushroom Swiss juicy Lucy with fries and my partner had the catfish filets. The juicy lucy was so amazing!!! I will definitely be back!!!!

    Can't recommend the Anchor enough! The nautical themed establishment at the north end of Tower Ave…read morein Superior perfectly blends what I expect from a Wisconsin dive bar along with the vibes of Lake Superior. The beer was very cold, and I was pleasantly surprised that ordering a "tall" got me a pitcher. The jalapeño cream cheese burger was the most recommended item to me, and it lived up to the hype. I'm in Duluth more often than Superior, but the Anchor is definitely worth the trip across the bridge.

    This is a highly recommended place. We went and sat in a nook . They have very interesting decor…read more This is definitely a super dive bar which is not my thing. Everything looked super cute but there were coloring and crayon scribbles on everything. It was on the books, the tables the displays etc. I asked a local friend and they said this is normal. When the waitress went to take our drink orders she was ok slightly rude. We looked at our friend and he said they aren't known for their service and can be a little rude. I asked if it's like Dicks Last Resort and he laughed and said no. I think she was okay after that and was like a standard waitress at more restaurants after . I would just say dont expect bending over backwards to make the customer number 1 service . I'm okay with that. They have some very interesting and yummy selections for burgers . I got excited for a blue cheese Burger. I will say that my Pattie was very well done and the bun was on point. The blue cheese dressing top.... Not what I want for a blue cheese burger . I was expecting the blue cheese crumble. The fries... bomb! Definitely get fries. Do I want to go back? Maybe if can sit outside on a nice day. Sort of got the ick sitting inside but it's because I'm not a dive bar kind of girl.

    Absolute 5 star experience here. We entered right at they opened at 11 on a Saturday.

Drinks, followed by poutine 5 minutes later, then food about 10 minutes after that. We were all done within 30 minutes! The food was fantastic, too. Delicious poutine, with oozy gooey squeaky cheese curds. I had the smoked fish salad; it had the right amounts of everything and felt like a distinctly Duluth dish. My husband had the fish and chips. I had a bite of his fish, and it was perfect, with great batter and flavor. I would happily come here again on a visit. I can see why this is a city institution.

I usually end up not liking the poutine at places, but will try it. Here, I actually really liked it, and will definitely get it again. The same for the onion rings, they were crispy and not too greasy. We also got the inhouse made root beer. That was quite good as well.

    Accidentally found this place on maps. Tip: always zoom in and out in an area when looking for food…read moreas the buttons seem to pop at different "elevations". SO glad I stopped. I had the special, a simple cheeseburger and fries. Simple it was not. This will now be my go-to place for a burger whenever I'm in town. The burger is never frozen, the fries are real and fresh cut (but they do it right and soak them in water). OMG, I was expecting a typical flat little burger and a half a dozen bites of fries...oh no, bring your appetite my friend! The burger was juicy and thick but also fully cooked. The fries were divine! They were golden brown with a perfect crisp, skin on for flavor, and not too skinny nor thick AND didn't leave me wanting more. I ALWAYS want more fries. I made the mistake of saying "no" to tomato and lettuce and onion. They are usually a little limp leaf of nearly white lettuce and a paper thin slice of lacy flavorless wet tomato. Nope, not here. I saw them preparing other baskets as I was sitting at the counter awaiting my order...the fixings were thick, bright, and crunchy! Don't skip it. I'm also super excited to try their other dinner selections like meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy. I have a hunch the potatoes won't be instant. I'm curious about breakfast too, although I'm never in town that early. They have a small selection of desserts as well. They also serve my favorite root beer, 1919, along with 1919 cream soda which I didn't even know they had! Just like the quality and quantity of food, the service is what I remember it used to be. I was greeted with a genuine warm and welcome smile. I wad given an appropriate amount of time to decide before being pestered multiple times. My questions were answered without a look of annoyance and I wasn't made to feel like a bother. The small talk was personable and appropriate. Service sets the tone and I felt comfortable and belonging. The ONLY reason I didn't give it 5 stars was it kinda yucked me out nobody wore gloves at any point. Grabbing fistful of potatoes out of a bucket of water would require a type of dishwashing glove, and I get that they are fried in hot oil so that didn't bother me as much. It was more the handling the raw fixings without gloves and noting that the lettuce (as beautiful as it was), and I'm assuming the other vegetables, we're not washed prior. I don't think many restaurants do for the reason of preparation speed and ingredient longevity. That part bothers me everywhere because all I can think of is pesticides and germs. I don't typically end on a less than positive note but, I knew this one was going to be lengthy and people's attention spans short. I lied, I will say this...I left very happy and satisfied and NOT smelling of grease! In summary, GO!

We had checked reviews and saw there were some reviews indicating this restaurant was not as good as it used to be. We decided to see for ourselves as the menu, other positive reviews sounded like it was an incredibly good place to go. It is. It was. It was busy, being a Sunday morning especially, but the staff was handling it all well from our perspective . I used to manage restaurants a long time ago and was impressed with the flow. Our waitress, Natalie, was delightful, knew the menu well to describe and answer questions, and we were not wanting for anything. She checked on us, always grinning and managing the iace well. I had the banana bread pancakes. A perfect choice ! They came and looked like a picture stacked up and flowing down with Carmel, maple bourbon syrup, marzcapone cream and nuts. So delicious. I took half home and enjoyed the rest later. Heated up perfectly with a 20 second zap in micro. My son had the corn beef hash skillet and said his was just as good as mine. We both agreed that we had no idea why reviews were negative, especially going on a busy morning. We will be going back every time we visit. I recommend you do too.
