My husband and I ate here yesterday for the first time and the food was great and everyone was super friendly. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND trying this place. Some of the best fried clams I've ever eat. We will definitely be back.

This was our first time ever eating at The Lost Anchor. They deserve ten stars not just five. The waitress was very friendly, attentive and answered all our questions. The owner came over talked to us for awhile. He takes pride in his restaurant that's what I like most. Food was out in a timely manner. The food is excellent, decently priced especially for the large servings you get. A full bar with over 130 choices to chose from. Also a large banquet room available. I definitely recommend this place. W

Great place, tucked out of the way but close to everything still. Best burger I have ever had with a brioche bun that was fresh and a perfect fit for that great tasting burger. My kids loved their wings and the chips with queso....outstanding. Looked like their live band stage was set up nicely too. Seating was mixed with up front quieter seats to step up huge round bar and booths along the sides. Atmosphere was water, beachy with little decorations of nets, drift wood, water skis etc...the step up bar floor wood is beautiful and plank like. Heckuva nice place any type of season that's not as cliche as the chain eateries. Sounds like they have a heck of a Christmas/Holiday gift certificate deal going on right now too...we just overheard somebody saying they bought $100 gift card and got $50 free in something else, but don't quote my example. I just know I'm going back soon to eat and buy some gift cards! Outstanding experience.

Its our first time eating here and the food is delicious and fantastic. Staff is wonderful and friendly. They season the shrimp to add taste, the fish was tender, cooked to perfection and prime rib is cooked exactly how you asked it to be. Every food dish has its own delicious taste. And that is so nice to see and with so much wonderful effort they put into their dish. A great wonderful chef they have. Such a great quality of food they carry. Such a nice place to dine in. We definetly will be back

Went in for an early lunch on Tuesday. Parking lot was empty and there was skepticism about not so great ratings about the food. I was delighted to walk into a mural filled space with pelicans, hammerhead shark and a swimming sea turtle. It like going to Florida without the travel hassle. The food was worth the wait. Fries seasoned and crispy, wings cooked and tossed with gooey yummy flavor. I see myself going back when there is live music.
