Established in 1955 by Jim & Virginia Martin, located right on the creek. We’re open for camping/boats for the summer season, with winter storage available. The restaurant is open year round with outside seating available during summer time, and an enclosed porch opened year round overlooking the creek, with a toasty fireplace used in the wintertime.

There is a more casual darts and bar area, and also a sit down dining room area. When it’s warm it’s a great spot to visit because it’s right by the water. You can tell the space has a lot of great history. One of those ‘if these walls could talk’ restaurants. Photos adorn the main dining room from yesteryears shenanigans. A must visit in the area. The food is SOLID, affordable, and the employees will make you feel incredibly cared for.
So we met there on a weekend night in February, 2023. We figured that not many people will be boating and camping in winter, so it would probably be quieter. But to not take chances, we had reservations.
We met in the bar first which had a nice country decor. I liked the display of beer taps mounted in array near the ceiling. The bar had a seat or two available when we arrived. But our group had a drink at a table instead. It had a jukebox mounted on the wall that looked like a tankless water heater. So it was a far cry from the old Rockola’s from back in the day. It also costs a whole lot more per song. We didn’t order a drink in the bar, as our friends were almost done with theirs. So we waited to be seated instead.
We then proceeded into the dining room. It had an old country feel to it as well. There were probably a dozen tables or so. But it also had a piano and a recliner as well. We were not sure what the recliner was for, but maybe just to give it that homey feel.
We were in by no means in a hurry, and that was good. There was only one table when we were seated. A third table came in right behind us. Then a couple more as time went on. There was just the one waitress to handle the dining room. She was very nice.
We ordered one round of drinks with our diner. Although it turned out to be a before diner drink. We ordered water after the one drink, and our friends second. We also had plenty of time for my light beer to dissipate. As I read in other reviews, things move pretty slow here. As such it took quite a while for our drinks to come out. Then it took another half hour for the soup and salads to come out. Then it took quite a while more for dinner to come out. But we were fine with it as it gave us time to talk and enjoy our friends company. All in all we were there over three hours. But to be fair, the last half hour or so was us talking since the other folks started to clear out and no one else seemed to be coming in since closing time wasn’t far off.
The food was good. Some of us really liked it. Others felt it was okay, but not overly special. But nobody felt that it wasn’t good. We didn’t order dessert since we were full enough. The check came with one round of drinks, then water. Plus our meals with no appetizers or desserts. With a good tip, it was almost $50 per person. It was definitely more expensive than I would have expected. But not drastically so, and it seems to be like that everywhere in this area, including chain and fast food restaurants.
All in all, I found The Anchorage to be a nice homey feeling restaurant that allowed us to have a nice long meal with friends, that we pretty much enjoyed all aspects of. Would it be so accommodating in the busier summer months, probably not. But so far we had a nice meal and a nice first impression of The Anchorage.
Edit update: Still love this place, they also make great specialty drinks.
After driving almost 45 minutes, we both ordered the spaghetti dinner and salad.
Sadly, the only thing that was good was the salad. The meatballs were lackluster and the sauce had absolutely no flavor at all.
I was very upset about the quality of the food. I most definitely will NOT be returning here
