Anchors is HANDS DOWN our favorite restaurant. Perfect place to go for a tasty, yet super affordable meal. Here`s why:
1. The food... obviously. I personally have never had a burger compare to their BBQ bacon cheddar burger (I like mine cooked medium with extra sauce on the side and lettuce, tomato, pickle and onion ;) ) Top that off with some battered fries... On cloud 9. Every. Time. Our parents (both sets) go crazy over their fried chicken and their pork loin and gravy. My husband will venture away and get other stuff on the menu that he really enjoys, but, like me, he swears by their burgers if he had to pick a favorite (Secret menu item: he really likes to order the battered fries tossed in their cajun seasoning).
2. THE PRICES. My husband always has to share with everyone he meets that he can get a Blue Moon on draft there for $2, AND that isn`t even their happy hour! And I`m not going to lie, we almost always end up getting appetizers too because it`s hard to resist loaded chips or chicken nachos for $6.95 (although they aren`t really necessary because usually our food comes out just a few minutes after... talk about feeling like a fatty). We both get drinks, meals and an appetizer and still keep our total well under $30; that is hard to come by these days.
3. If I had to name one thing that stands out the most about Anchors, it isn`t the food and it isn`t the ridiculously low prices, it is the staff. As many times as we have gone there, you would think that by now we would have had a bad experience, but we truly never have. Our waitresses are always attentive, very personable, and they don`t ever get annoyed with us when we ask for extra things after we get our order (We`re those guys...). Our first few times going there, we noticed they had staff designated solely to cleaning up tables and going around to make sure everyone`s drinks were full and taken care of. Blew our minds.. lol. Not to say that is always the case, but it is typical to see on busy nights of the week.
One down side to going there late in the evening is you may catch them at a time when their popular items have sold out. They have crazy good specials, so that is to be expected; but other than that, it is really hard to say anything negative about the restaurant (I mean, seriously... look at that burger).
I’d like to give it a zero star but that’s not possible. I know the place changed owners and since then service and quality has gone way down! I guess all the good staff quit!
Well when you go it it’s a seat yourself kind of place , so I sat down. Waited 15 min for a waitress or waiter to ask me if I wanted something to drink and hand me a menu. Nope didn’t happen. 3 times someone walked past me and didn’t even acknowledge me. So I left. This was my second time being there after they changed new owners, I won’t be going back, sad because I live in this town and I like to support local business. But that non service was unacceptable. The previous visit was just about as poor.
We were traveling through the area recently and decided to stop for lunch. For being busy after church on a Sunday, service was fast and friendly! We felt welcomed and right at home. The menu had a good variety - something for everyone and the food was excellent! We would definitely stop in again the next time we are in the area.
It's a little confusing as the restaurant name is also referred to as The Lighthouse or Winfield Lighthouse Restaurant (they need to work on naming consistency), but make no mistake, the food here is excellent. I had the fried chicken dinner special, and the chicken had a good amount of flavor, and also was juicy inside. Though they were shorthanded on help for the night, they managed to get the food to us quickly, and were friendly. Would come here again!
Recently the restaurant was sold to a new owner. It just has not been the same since. A lot of the awesome servers has moved on. The portions seem to be cut back as well. We were told it has a new name "Lighthouse" yet there is no signage reflecting the name? Hopefully it will get better soon.
Haven’t been there in a while. Just went there tonight. They have a new menu with a ton of new items. I got the Texas burger and my wife had the chicken bacon ranch wrap. It was all delicious! Our waitress was great too! We will be going there way more often now. Great upgrade.
We decided last minute to stop and I am glad we did. Everything was great. She apologized that it was taking time to get the food because they only had one cook but it really wasn't that long of a wait. Our food was fresh, hot, and yummy!
My family did not get a chance to try the food. We drove a half hour to try out the restaurant and was seated right away. They were not really busy had open tables. The hostess took our drink order and we waited 30 minutes and no drinks and no one took our food order. The hostess was cleaning one table but no one was waiting to be seated and other tables were clean and empty and she walked passed us 6x no drinks. No other employee came to our table while we sat for 30 min to check on us so we left.
