★★★☆☆ 3.0 Gwen Truman · Jan 2026

WARNING: DO NOT GET THE BUFFALO CHICKEN "SANDWICH" I ordered a "buffalo chicken sandwich". My god that was not a buffalo chicken sandwich. It was simply a piece of chicken with half a bottle of buffalo sauce on it and a bun haphazardly thrown on top. I saw someone else say it disintegrated as they tried to eat it and I am going to have to agree. The food has been good here before, good service, good prices but that was the most ridiculous plate of food I have ever seen. Unfortunately, it was not good, though the fries were really tasty. I wish the magnitude of the chicken on the "sandwich" had been specified, as I would have gotten this "sandwich" had I known the scale (and soggy nature). But! I do like this place and I now I know what NOT to get!

As a native of South Jersey love visiting when able. So great to come back and visit the Anchorage. So Many fun moments from the early 80’s on. Extremely tasty, reasonable and great service. just love those buffalo shrimp. 👍

It was absolutely disgusting. My crab chowder came with a hair in it, then I got given this as a buffalo chicken sandwich. What on earth am I supposed to do with this slab of chicken??? It was supposed to be a sandwich!! The chicken was massively overcooked, absolutely caked in buffalo sauce and had a bun top just placed on it. There was a bun bottom I think but it was so saturated with sauce that it had disintegrated. What a disgusting meal.

Last night back to a favorite vacation spot, Anchorage Tavern. One of the busiest but lucky for us we only waited 40 minutes and got to sit inside! We started with drinks and Oyster Shooters and Stuffed Mushrooms followed by Crab Cake sandwiches, Strip Steak and Shrimp for both granddaughters, Grouper Special for my wife and Wahoo Special with shrimp for me!

★★★★★ 5.0 Ricky DiVaccaro · Feb 2026

Great food for a great price! Service was relatively quick, just remember to stand your menu upright to let them server know you're ready to order. We loved it here, you can see the water from the bar and it was a fantastic atmosphere for some drinks and bar food.
